All ncmlneas, Both East, and WestBound, to Re Pooled General Freight Asrents to Fix Percentages Th executive offlers of the Western reads bad another meeting" In Chicago yesterday at which an agreement was reported for the immediate restoration of all rates both cast and west-bound, and "for tho renewal of all old agreements for the strict maintenance of rates. It was agreed to restore the old Western trunk-line pool, but on an enlarged basis. All business, both east and west-bound, 13 to be pooled, the pooling: arrangement to go into effect Jan. 1 next. It 13 to continue In effect far at least one year from that data and x can then only be terminated by some road or roads giving thirty days' notice. A meeting; of general freight agents Is to be held in Chicago next Wednesday to arrange for putting the agreement Into effect and to fx the percentages which each road is to receive in tho pooL Should the general freight agents be unable to agree on this latter point they will Immediately report their inability to tne executive officers and they will try and arrange thenv In case they are unable to reach a satisfactory agreement the whole matter Is to be left to arbitration. Once fixed, thf percentages cannot be changed except In November of each year, when they will be subject to revision at the instance of any road feeling aggrieved over Its proportions. All secret cut rates are to be withdrawn to-day and all reduced tariffs will be restored as soon as the neces?ary ten days notice can bo given th Interstate-commerce Commission. The executive officers also toolc up passenger affairs and issued Instructions to the general passenger, agents to meet and reorganize the Western Lines Passenger Association. A meeting of the Chlcago-St. Paul lines ' was also held yesterday for the purpose of organlzlrg a passenger pooL. The attempt was not entirely successful, but the lines adjourned to meet again next Tuesday to continue their efforts. Disturbed Over the Agreement. Just now there are no more anxious people than the fast freight line agents over the movements of the presidents for a more economical operation of the railroads. A railroad official, who has seen and studied the - modified agreement which the presidents are now considering, says: "The men who are chiefly responsible for this latest effort to reform the prevailing condition of affairs and make more certain a strict adherence to agreed tariffs are animated to no little extent ty a desire to at least greatly reduce the number of men employed in huatllns for traffic, if not to cut them off entirely, especially those who work for tho fast freight lines. And I must admit that lt la not art unwise movement, though I have a good deal of sympathy for the men who will lose their positions. It will be a hard blow to them, for they will be compelled to take clerkships where they can net them, while others will have to seek employment In other fields of usefulness, and' all of them will be forced to live on an Income much lower than they have had in a long time. . v Thi3 result has been Inevitable, for they have frequently been responsible for the rate demoralizations that have injured the revenues of the railroad companies. The fast freight lines themselves are all right and very useful, but, being made up of different roads, some of which are in coinneritien with each other, the'solicitlncr force has g)wn beyond all reasonable propor-tion-5. It has been no unsual thing for a alf dozen men to strive to capture the me car or freight, all or whom were work ing for the same line, but in the interest of different roads. The conflict has invariably ended in trouble. This new agreement in reducing the number of soliciting i;ents. if it goes into effect, will be but a stepping stcne to other reforms, and I am contident that eventually you will seo the fast freight lines become nothing more than mere clearing-houses. That is all they should be, and it seems to me that, as originally organized. Is the line upon which they were to be conducted." The BIf Four Surgeons. The annual meetings of the Big Four railway surgeons have come to be Interesting and Important events to that fraternity. Those who were In attendance returned yesterday to their respective places of residence, feeling that the recent meeting was one of the best in many respects they had ever held. The following ofneers were elected: Dr. J. IT. Weaver, Dayton, O., president; Dr. C. B. Frye, Mattoon, III., first vice president; Dr. 9. Belknap, Nlles, Mich., second vice president; Dr. George F. Beasley, Lafayette, Ind., third vice president; Dr. T. C. Kennedy, Shelbyvllle. Ind., secretary; Dr. F. L. Bain. Kenton, O., treasurer. Executive committee: Dr. F. R. Evans, BEAUTY IS NO INHERITANCE. Cosmetics do not beautify, but often destroy a healthy complexion. A natural rosy and healthy complexion cannot be had by the use of cosmetics, but only through the health of the body in general. Nothing" is better to secure this result than the genuine imported Carlsbad Sprudel Salt when taken early in the morning, before breakfast (about a small teaspoonful dissolved in a tumblerful of water). It clears the complexion and produces a healthy color. Best taken when out-door exercise can be had.

Dr. Joseph Marsee. of this city, delivered an interesting addres3 on "Treatment of Common Injuries of -the Hand and Wrist," detailing his experience in this class of cases. This paper was listened to with gre.it Interest by all present. Dr. IMwin Le I-'evre. of Sidney, O., read a paper entitled "General Anae3thetla, with Special Reference to Its Use in Traumatic Surgery.1" The raper was discussed by Dr. Hubbard, of Sandusky; Dr. George M. Waters, of Columbus, O.; Dr. J. B. Weaver, of Dayton, O.: Chlel Burgeon Ford, of Wabash, Ind.; Dr. Peyton, of Jeffersonville, and others. Dr. Fergason, of Cincinnati, read a paper on "Some of the More Frequent Injuries of the Eyes of Hallway Employes." The next meeting will be held In this city on the second Thursday in November, A Itond Which Maintains nates. It has been well understood that the Lake Shore road . has always maintained rates on the freights it carries, and, which Is more singluar, with Its large equipment, easy grades and ability to move a large tonnage. It seldom has an Ule car, and today is far short of filling Us orders. G. J. Grammar, who went from the Mackey lines to tako the position of general freight agent of that road, and became practically its traffic manager, In commenting on the position this road has held in rate matters, said: "We have been severely criticised In some quarters for not meeting the cut rates on grain and other commodities east-bound. It wouldn't even be good sense for us to do it. It would be worse than throwing money away, for we cannot take the business now offered us at tariff rates. The Lake tfhore Is by no means the only road to feel the shortage, though our large local pointa have given us somewhat of an advantage in tho rapid increase of business. There was no time, even in 1891 and lJtfi, when we were doing a better business than tve are to-day. And, mark you, this is just the beginning. There is no possibility rf stopping the increase until next spring, ml probably not then. We have a certainty of one and probably two very profitable years before us." To fully appreciate the above statement it should he known that the-Lake Shore own i' 20,092 freight cars. These cars would make a solid train over 131 miles long. The average loads in each direction will exceed 30,CXX pounds per car. making at a very low estimate the enormous number of 602,700,000 pounds of freight. , With such a capacity as this, the Lake Shore is compelled from to-day to choose between the shippers who are clamoring for cars. No question of cut rates enters Into the problem. The shippers, except, perhaps, the grain shippers from Chicago, are only too glad to get the cars.

Annual Inapectlon Trip. The regular annual inspection trip of the president and board of directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company will begin on Monday, and it wll last two weeks. In this time the party will have traveled nearly 2.S0O miles. On Oct. 14 a special train will leave the Brood-street station, Philadelphia, and that night the directors will lay over at Altoona. The next morning a run will be made to Pittsburg over the Southwest Pennsylvania and the Pittsburg, Virginia & Charleston railroads. On Wednesday the various yards and property cf the company at Plttfhurg will be inspected. On Oct. 17 a run will be made frcm Pittsburg to Cincinnati, and on the following day the road from Cincinnati to Terre Haute, via Richmond, will be gone over. From here the party will go to St. Louis, and on Sunday It will rest In that city. Early on Oct. 21 the special train will be run over the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy tracks to Burlington, and on the following day n run from Burlington to Chicago, over the Toledo, Peoria & Western and the Illinois Central roads will be made. On the 2Cd Inst, the directors will leave Chicago for Crestline, and on the next day will go to Cleveland nd thence to Pittsburg. On Friday the line from Pittsburg to Willla msport, via the Allegheny Valley railroad, will be examined, and on the next day the party will leave for Philadelphia, reaching there some time In the afternoon. Prmonnl, Locnl nntl General Nori. The Pennsylvania ha3 given $?rCQ to the Mary Packer Hospital, at Sunbufy, Pa. The Baltimore & Ohio has added parlor cars to Its through limited trains between Xew York and Chicago. C. McMIllian has been appointed acting auditor of the Flint & Pere Marquette, vice G. W.

Baltimore & Ohio officials will neither deny nor affirm that the company Is to bull! a new lino from Cleveland to Led!, O. General Superintendent G. C. Waldo, of the Cincinnati, Hamilton A; Dayton, was in tho city yesterday for a short time on business. The Illinois Steel Company now has fourteen thousand employes on its pay roll9. The company's product is sold five months ahead.' , Col. William Shaw, representing the passenger department of the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, is In the city prospecting for business. The Pennsylvania people will start their fast Atlanta train on the 20th. It will leave Chicago at 10:30 a. m., reaching Atlanta at 11 a. m. next day. Col. R. Carroll, late general manager of the Queen & Crescent, has completed his arrangements to go to Europe, and will rs main abroad several weeks. - The directors of the Cincinnati, Sandusky & Cleveland railroad have declared a semiannual dividend of 3 per cent, on the preferred stock, payable Nov. 1. It is stated that the Jurisdiction of Geo. T. Jarvls, assistant general superintendent of the Lake Erie & Western, 13 to be extended 'over the Northern Ohio. J. H. Elliott, for many years a passenger conductor on the Panhandle lines, now on a Texas road. Is visiting friends at points oa the Panhandle for a few days. All the locomotives' of the Cincinnati. Hamilton & Dayton are being- equipped with tho Janney self-coupler, also tho cars which are not already so equipped. The monster passenger engine Just completed at the Pennsylvania shops at Altoona will next week bo sent west to be tested between Crestline and Chicago. Frank Reed,- general passenger agent of the Monon, has completed arrangements for the fast train service South, and on the 20th will Inaugurate a twenty-four hour train from Chicago to Atlanta. Division officials of the Pennsylvania lines are making preliminary inspections of their respective divisions preparatory to the gcnerul inspection of President Roberts and party, which besln3 next week. The Chicago & Alton is not only withdrawing from all associations, but announces that hereafter it will make its own rata schedule instead of recognizing the Chicago rate sheet as a basis of tariff. The reorganization plan of the Green Bay, Winona & St. Paul railroad has been declared operative, ana the committee announces that a penalty, yet to be determined, will be Imposed on all subsequent deposits. The Panhandle company will, next week, send outs its steam-heat instruction car, which will stop at different points and give the trainmen instructions as to the manner of handling the steam apparatus to make passengers comfortable. F. E. Fisher, general passenger agent, and J. F. Youse, generul freight agent of the Ohio Southern, have been given, it is stated, to understand that their resignations would be accepted. Both are young and very competent railroad men. William Green, general manager, and G. C. Waldo, peneral superintendent of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton lines, will to-day leave for New York to attend the meeting of the American Hallway Association, which convenes in that city next week. October promises to be a big earning month for the Toledo. St. Louis & Kansas City. Already a heavy grain movement has set in and every car the company can command is put In service. Fortunately, this road Is amply equipped with locomotives of tne best standard. The son of E. R. Woolard. pas?enger conductor on the Texas Paciilc, who passed the examination which ntitled him to a scholarship in the New York University at the expense of Helen Gould, passed through the city yesterday en route to New York, accompanied by his mother. Train 20, on the Vandalla, when near Pocahontas, and running sixty miles an hour, yesterday, struck a horse and threw the animal 10 feet or -more, fortunately not Jarring the train to such an extent as to attract the attention of the passengers. The horse came suddenly on the track. Conductor Hull,, who has the run from Cambridge City to Madison and return daily, on the Pennsylvania line, was assaulted at North Madison cn Oct. 2. by a man named Sterling, wh3 was put off the trstn because he refused to ray his faro, ci v:t7 ctated that ho would either riJa

on that train or kill somebody. Conductor Hull was badly Injured, in fact, nearly losing his life. Judge Friedley. of the Madison court, tried this case on Thursday and the jury brought in a verdict of six year3 and six months, with 510 fine. Other lines are so pressed for cars that the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton is being1 called on with a good deal of earnestness to furnish cars to move the old corn and the new oats to Eastern markets. This is a road which has a larger freight equipment, proportionately, than it has locomotives. Tho Central Traffic Association lines have given notice to those of the Western group of roads that they will no longer honor tickets sold by them at reduced rates for large gatherings unless they make the eertflcates attached to such tickets conform strictly with the form prescribed by the Central Traffic roads. For some months the agreement as regards immigrant traffic has been well lived up to by the Eastern and Western roadj, the trathc being divided between the several Western lines through the immigrant clearing house In New York. Now it is said that some of the lines are uneasy and this agreement is likely to be abrogated. The committee representing the holders of consolidated first-mortgage bonds of the Kansas Pacific railroad announces that a largo majority of such bonds has been deposited with the committee, and gives notice that after Nov. 1 bonds will only be received by the Mercantile Trust Company, of New York, subject to a penalty of $20 a bond. The Pennsylvania Company has 41,971 cars of its own and 40,611 belonging to individuals and companies doing business over its lines, and. had the company as many more, often could not meet the requirements for cars. To-day they are many thousand cars short of filling dally orders, and are obliged to select the shippers who should be first favored.' Passenger conductors on the Big Four Eay that unles9 E. O. McCormick, passenger traffic manager, relaxes his efforts a little the company will be obliged to run its trains between Chicago and Cincinnati in two sections, a3 nightly there are one hundred or more passengers from Chicago to Cincinnati and other Southern points, in adJitlon to a heavy local travel. The reorganization committee in- connection with the new organization plan for the Union Pacific 13 as follows: Genera! Louia Fitzgerald, of the MercanUlo Trust Company, New York; Marvin Hughitt, president of the. Chicago & Northwestern Rallwvy Company; Chauncey M. Depew, president of the New York Central & Hudson River railroad; Jacob H. Scheff, of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., New York; T. Jefferson Coolidge, Jr., of Boston; An Eastern paper start3 the report that negotiations have been renewed looking to the Lake Erie & Western securing control of the Indiana, Decatur & Western. Offlclal3 of neither of the lines give any credence to the report, owing to the fact that the road, under its present disadvantageous circumstances, Is more than earning nxed charges and operating expenses, and this when traffic is light. When the new crop begins to move much larger earnings will be realized. Western lines have been troubled much for the past years by the swindling operations of commission men who are flooding the country with their smoothly-written circulars. These circulars ere sent to the agents of the lines in the small towns offering them a large commission for all the stuff they can ship to them. Interior shippers have been swindled to such an extent that the St. Paul is about to issue a circular to its agents with instructions not to ship produce or grain to houses who are offering extra inducements. They are also in consultation with the postornce authorities in regard to preventing them from using the malls. Tho Southern roads are setting the Northern lines an example in handling their Atlanta passenger business. All tickets to the exposition are ironclad and must be signed and executed at Atlanta before good to return on. The scalpers object, as they are losing money and will not now purchase the return part of such tickets. An inspector stands outside the ticket offlco in every station, and when a passenger presents a ticket to be signed, the inspector makes a bluff that the holder was not the original person, and tells the ticket agent not to indorse the ticket. If tho passenger was not the original buyer, he usually gets scared and walks off with, the ticket, and makes the broker take It back. When a ticket is presented and believed to have been bought from a scalper, its number is taken, and if it is presented later, the agent again refuses to stamp It. Already many original buyers have presented their, tickets and signed them, but, it 3 pall, the inspector has ordered the agent not to stamp them because the signature on the back did not exactly comparo with the name written on the face when it was bought.

GEYER HERE AGAIN. Summoning- Witnesses to Appear Afrninst Holmes In Philadelphia. Detective Geyer, of Philadelphia, who did such effective work in this city In locating1 the remains of Howard Peitzel, and the place where It is supposed that the boy was murdered by II. H. Holmes, again mado his appearance In the city yesterday, reviving the case of Holmes, which has, for some tin.e, been lost from th public mind. Mr. Geyer stated, last night, that his visit to this city at this time has no particular significance, as he is here simply to arrange for witnesses to come to Philadelphia to appear, against Holmes, when ho is tried for the murder of Benjamin Peitzel, father of the lad who was probably murdered In Irvlngton. Mr. Geyer, In company with detective Richards, of the local detective force, again visited the house in Irvlngton where the boy's charred remains were found in the chimney. Mr. Geyer had a key which had been found in Holmes's pocket at the time of his arrest. Mr. Geyer conceived the idea that it might have been the key to the house In Irvington, and he wished to satisfy himself on the point. It proved to fit the night latch on tho front door of the Irvlngton houn and Dr. Thompson, former owner of the house, thinks he recognizes in it the same key that "he carried for two years while an occupant of the house. This is considered as one more link in the chain of evidence fastening the crime undoubtedly committed in tho Irvington house on Hclmes. The detective made a further search of the house and cellar to see whether other 'evidence might be found, but states that nothing new was discovered. Mr. Geyer will return to Philadelphia this morning. He called on Coroner Castor yesterday and took possession of the remains of the murdered boy, the old trunk which was identified by Mrs. Peitzel as tho one which had belonged to her murdered children, the overcoat, also Identified by Mrs. Peitzel: the stove in which the body of the boy was burned, and the other furniture which was found in the Irvington house after It was vacated by Holmes. He will take these things back to Philadelphia as evidence against "Holme3. He says, that all is in readlnera for the trial, which will begin Oct. 28. Dr. Thompson, who discovered the remains of tho boy, and who was the owner cf the house where, the murder occurred; Dr. By ram. who mounted the teeth found in the chimney, and detective Richards, will be summoned as witnesses In the case. If Holmes is not convicted in Philadelphia Mr. Geyer thinks he will be brought to this city, and be tried for the murder of Howard Peitzel. TO ESTABLISH A LIKE. Plan for the Settlement of the Green Island Boundary Qnestlon. Attorney R. C. Cunningham, of Henderson, Ky., came up to see Governor Matthews yesterday about the Green island dividing line. The attorney represents Gov. Brown, of Kentucky. Yesterday afternoon Governor Matthews, Attorney-general Kctcham and the Kentucky attorney had a conference in which the Green island question was discussed. The Supreme Court of the United States has decided that the dividing line between Indiana and Kentucky should be . located as nearly as possible on the line established in 1S06. The Supreme Court suggested that the two States appoint a commission of two competent men to make the survey. Two men will be selected from the government coast surveying corps, and if the selections are approved by the Supreme Court the commission will go ahead and establish the line. Green island Hes within a few miles of the city of Kvansville. It compiisea several thousand acres of rich land. 1HU for State rrlntlnsr. Next Wednesday the contracts for the State printing and stationery supplies will bo awarded by the State Printing Board. The firm of Wilson & Humphries, of Loganport. will be the only bidders rutside of this city. Clerk Carter, of the bcarfl, says that the new specifications adopted will savo the State a considerable sum of money. The Hcate printing contract is worth about 0,CC0 a year.

SUNDAY-SCHOOL WOfiK

ELUCIDATION AND REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL LESSON, OCT. 13. Tli Triumph off Gideon, its Related In Judges vll, 13-33 An Illustration of the Power of Faith. By REV. JAMES E. GILBERT. D. D Secretary of the American Society of Religious Education. CThese lessons constitute the Sundayschool extension department of the above named society. All who study them are requested to send their names, postofflce address and denomination, mentioning th'.s paper, to the author at Washington, D. C, for enrollment.) PREVIEW. After the statement of Israel's general condition, as in last lesson, the sacred penman gives a brief account in order of the men raised up as Judges, and of their achievements. Othniel, the first, was of the tribe of Judah (Judges ill, 9); Ehud, the second, a Benjamlte;- ajid the third, Shamgar, had only local influence. Deborah, the wife of Lapidoth, was fourth, showing that a -woman might occupy the office, (Judges 4v and v.) Under her Inspiration and guidance, Barak conquered the Canaanltesi, a mark of tho imbecility of the men. (JuJgcs iv, 9.) A peace of forty years' duration followed. Again Israel fell Into evil ways, and the Midianites, Amalekltes, and other people of the east camo up and subdued them. The oppressions were very severe, and In some parts many found, refuge in dens and caves. (Judges v, L 2.) After seven years Gideon was called by God to be the deliverer. Hesitating until assured of the Divine will, he mado proclamation, and thirty thousand men rallied about him. By a Bimplo devico these were twice reduced, until a little band of three hundred only remained (Judges vll, 7), assembled on the hill top overlooking the splendid iMidlan army In the valley beJow. DREAM. One night a soldier In the enemy's camp dreamed that a cake of barley tumbled In upon them and emote and overthrow a tent. This Incident would make little or no Impression in our day, except possibly it would be related to amuse in an idle time. For we hold dreams to be but the disturbed action of the mental powers, resulting from excitement or "abnormal physical condition. But in Biblical times a dream was a kind of vision, by which important matters, not otherwise known, might be disclosed. (Gen. xx, 3.) God employed this method of speaking to prophets (Numb. xli. 6) and to lCIns (I ICings III, 5.) On several occasions, tho present being an example, he made approaches to persons- who did not 6erve him. (Matt, xxvll, 19.) Tills fact shows that nations outside of the Abrahamic covenant were not outside of the gracious influences of God's spirit. (Titus ii, 11.) The dream or vision was needed then more than now, becauso of tha ignorance of the people and tho limited revelation then maJe. (II Peter i, 13.) We may reasonably hope that in tho largeness of his mercy God communicated much to the ancient world, even beyond what has been recorded. (Rom. I, 13.) MEANING. God not only gave dreams to men, but He gave others the ability to interpret dreams. (Dan. v, 2.) Whether a peculiar natural cast of- mind rendered one susceptible to spiritual things (I Cor. xli, 30), or whether the spirit of God imparted information (Dan. il, L8), It matters not. The dreamer, and his Interpreter were generally found near, together, as if the same Impression was duplicated, as in the ca?e of Joseph and the baker, (Gen. xi, 16.) When tho Mldian soldier recited his dream that night his companion immediately gave the sense. In the cake of barley he saw Gideon, In the overturned tent he saw the defeated army to which they both belonged. But what was moit.:r?rorkable and siRnillcant, he ascribed the foreseen victory to the power of Jehovah. The Mldianitcs had evidently heard of the recent uprising under Gideon, and they inut hs.ve known what had been the result when God had called a man to lead hi3 people. Hence, , there was, doubtless, running: through the minds of the enemy, reaching at last the common soldier, a fear and expectation of defeat. OVERHEARD. That same night Gideon, with his faithful servant, Phurah, came down to the Mldianite to learn what they might of their situation. God had told him to do this. (Judges vll. 9.) Ills steps were .directed through the ticket line to the very place where the two men were, and he came at the very time to hear their conversation. The message seemed to him to be from God. who had told him In advance that he would hear something to his advantage. The barley cake, moreover, must have Impressed him as a very appropriate emblem of his little force. (Isa. xii. 1-1. 15.) Gideon's faith was strengthened. He needed no further evidence, but resolved to enter upon the hazardous undertaking, not doubting the result. God had led him along step by step from the threshing floor in.Ophrah (Judges vl, 11), until the final declaration had been given by one in the enemy's camp. Before quitting the place he, with his servant, worshipped, as all Orientalists do when they become conscious of the Lord's presence (Gen. xxiv, 2tf), offering thanksgiving for past favors and prayer for future direction. PRDPARATION. Returning that night to his men, Gideon immediately made ready. With commanding faith he declared that God had delivered tho Midlanltes into their hands. Faith always sees tho future as .present. He proceeded to divide his force into three battalions, one hundred in each, placing himself at the head of one of them. The little army was In size like that which Abraham led to the rescue cf lot. (Gen. xlv, 14.) But, unlike that of the patriarch, they ware unarmed. They wera not expected to flsht. They were simply God's advanced couriers, sent out to arouse the enemy, whom Go3 himself would defeat. Into every man's hand, therefore. Gideon placed, not a spear or eword, but a trumpet, an empty pitcher, and a lamp or torch in the pitcher. (II Cor. x. 14.) With these implements they were before morning to make way for the display of divine power (Ex. xiv, 12-15), not unlike the display of former years. (Josh, vl, 3).) God could have done what He proposed without tho pitchers, lamps and trumpets, but by these the three hundred rdgt become copartners and witnesses with him. ORDERS. These preparations bein made Gideon gives instructions under three heads. "Look on me," was his firrt order. Ah Gideon looked to God his followers must look to him. (Matt. xv!,4.) That centralized and uniflcd the band, reducing it to one solid force animated by one spirit. "Do as I do." was the second crier. That night was to he one of deeds, and these deed were not to be varied, but uniform rot by command, but by example. (I Cor. xi, 1.) Do what? Blow the trump?t, the instrument of God's apoolntment (Numb, x, 2). proclaiminir war, calling to surrender, appealing for help. The third order was to shout, - "The sword cf the T)rd and of Gideon." announcing that the Almighty by-His servant had attacked the enemies of the Israelites. These orders were much the came as those given for the capture of Jericho (Josh. vl. 0-11). only the ark was not present. It was intended by the noise of the trumpets, by the light of the lamps, and by the shouting of men, to terrorize the Midlanltes. Nothing but faith cauld devise such a plan. Nothing but faith could execute it. That faith was needed in every man. BATTLE. Down came tho three hundred at midnight. Drawing near they deDloyed. forming on one side of the camp. Once in place,-Gideon's trumpet sounded, breaking the silence, and three hundred trumpets responded. The pitchers were broken, increasing the din. The light of the torches gleamed in the darknew. Men, awakened from Blumher. heard the dread acclaim. "The sword of the Lord and of Gideon." The surprise was complete. The confused soldiers, starting from their resting places, knew the signincance of what was' transpiring, but knew not tho location or number cf the foe3 brought against them. Thpy had reason to believe that, during the night a mighty army of Israel had come upon them, and crept stealthily into their midst. To increase the confusion they were turned upon themselves, each taking his brother to be an enemy. While Gideon and his men stood still (Isa. xxx, 7-15). biew their trumpets and shouted, the strife raged furiously. Toward morning a remnant, disengaging themselves, fled, leaving 120,1'W dead on the Held of carnage. The confuse! mass cf broken tents, implements of war, articles of apparel and bodies cf the slain showed th tt-Hhl. cornict of the ni?ht. PURSUIT. The news of the iattle spread rapidly, and the thousands whom Cideon had dismissed (Judges vli, 3) rallied and pursued the fugitives. . (Judges vil, 3.) Mfssengers were went into Mount Ehnraim, the old home of Joshua (Judges lit, l,, and the people there responded gladly, hastening to tho fcrd.9 of the Jordan (Judges ill. 2S) to Intercept those who miht seek to escape to the fvther side.

Thus in a single night and day that vast multitude was utterly destroyed. The land was freed from its oppressor by the mighty hand of God. The eighth chapter of Judges relates the. closing incidents of tha pursuit, the manner in which Gideon improved his victories, the light in which the people considered tho wonderful event and the short-lived advantage gained by it all. (Judges viil, S3). But the whole occurrence is one of the most remarkable of that gloomy period In the history of Israel, and gavo the great chieftain a permanent place among the men of the centuries who live by faith. (Heb. xl, 32.) REVIEW. One great lesson needs to be learned in very age man must trust in God. And that supreme duty must be supported by several subordinate truths. God's power is not limited by numbers or confined to circumstance. In the day of darkness and trial He is a very present help. Ho savo not by sword (I Sam. xvii, 4), but by his own right hand. The feeblest instruments use with fa.tth may accomplish &reat results. Indeed, He sometimes employs the weakest to overthrow the strongest. (I Cor. i. 27. One of His saints is mighty in His hands. (Isa. xxx. 17.) One shall chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight. (Deut. xxxii, SO.) The passage Just studied taught this lesson to Israel, "but they soon forgot it. We have no similar instruction the deeds of blood are gone; but the record of the divine doing remains. Yet we, too, forget what is written on every pa go of personal and national history that success in the battle of life is ever through the help of God. The oppressive Mldianitcs may be subdued, if the individual and the people will but put ronfidenco in tho Almighty. (Psalms xlii, 5.)
