toasiLM-. Bible MatarUli Judges 3:11-43; *—•; (1:35. DeveUeasl R<*4lnge Psalm SI: 1-13. Time of Troubles Lessen for June IS, 193 S LESS than half the chapters of -» the Book of Judges in the Bible are considered to be fit to print,—as Sunday school lessons, that is, in quarterlies to be used by children and young people. It Is only rarely that a lesson from this strange book appears, and

Dr. Foreman

most of it nev?r does come out as a lesson. The curious reader can easily find out why. by reading the book for himself. He will find that it consists mostly of crime stories or adventure stories, tied

together by a sobersided and religious editor (name unknown) who plainly believed that these stories, frightening or exciting or comic or disgusting as they might be, nevertheless taught valuable lessons. What lessons can we of the 20th century, far removed from those lawless days, learn from these ancient stories? ",.. Wkat Wm Right In Hit Own Ey«»” 4 First of all, we can see what’it would be like if we abolished the police and the courts, burned the law books, never said “Don’t” to anybody, but left everybody to do* as he pleased. There are silly optimists now and then who think that human nature is naturally so good that all you need to do is to leave people alone, and their natural goodness will arrange everything just right This is not true and it was never true. The editor of the book of Judges more than once appears to apologize, or offer some explanation, for the horrible events in some of his collected tales. Those were the days, . he says, when there was no king in Israel, and every man did that • which was right in his own eyes. ; “Right in his own eyes” is the key ; phrase. Here is pure individual- ’ ism, here is anarchy. Here is the ■ paradise of those who think the less law the better, and no law at all the ideal. This is the story of —not what can happen or might happen, but the true story of what did happen? when a whole nation forgot God and paid no attention to his laws and just went on "jags” of doing whit they pleased, time after time. It was mess after mess. It is good for us (though unpleasant) that God’s Providence has preserved for us these stories of what lawlessness will do to a nation. Leading Lady There is a brighter side of the book of Judges. The wof.d “Judge” in this book has nothing to do with courts. (Samson, for example, was one of the least judicious men known to history.) The word here means Hero, Deliverer, Military Leader. The judges were not saints, as we understand saints; but they were believers in God, they were God’s Strong Men. The story of Deborah in chapters 4 and 5 shows that when men were scarce, a woman might take over, with great results. In every case of the war-like heroes we meet in these pages, we learn that God called him (or her) to his military achievement. But we can see also that these men were not puppets on God’s strings. They thought and fought freely and bravely, putting their trust in God. The story of Deborah is specially interesting, because she was not a strange character, a sort of Joan of Arc, but a "regular person,” a “mother in Israel” as she called herself. Even in the darkest times when a real leader appears, peoifle will follow. Private Morale and Public Welfare Another very important lesson taught by the book of Judges is that private morals can’t be kept private. The entire community is made strong or weak by the strength of the weakness of individuals. The whole story of the time of the “Judges” is a kind of up-and-down cycle like a rollercoaster. The nation would win freedom; but then it would get run down and weakened by laziness, loose living and vice; then it would fall an easy victim to one of the many nations that were always waiting for a chance to move in on them. Then they would be, to all intents and purposes, slaves of that enemy nation for years. Only when the people came back to God and his laws, did they recover the moral strength which built up their national strength to the point where —under some new leader—they could throw off the ehains of bondage.

A Father's Hope Rev. J. R. Meadows The tie that bonds a parent to his child is a subtle and powerful one. It is the basis of all family relations. It is the most powerful of all incentives to human effort and achievement. When a father looks into the face of his son, he is seeking more than perfection of feature. He is trying to look through those clear, boyish eyes into the soul that lies behond them. If he is a wise father, he knows that a strong life must be built on a foundation of faith—faith in the enduring values—faith in the purpose and end of human existence, and in a Supreme Intelligence which orders the course of the universe. Christianity has been the guiding star of the human race as men have climbed upward. So wise parents, by precept and by example, endeavor to implant Christian faith in their children.
