HE story of Gideon's army would seem to be almost without parallel
in the history of military strife,
though it has some striking paral-
lels in the records of moral endeavor and triumph. Napoleon is, credited with the cynical remark that “God is on the
side of the great battalions.” That,
that might not only makes right:
in general, is the world’s estimate—
but that might makes for success and power. Napoleon might well have read to better advantage this story of Gideon’s army; and our modern world, which trusts too implicitly in great . battalions, might likewise take the story to heart. Dominant. in the story is the emphasis upon Gideon’s trust in Jehovah. He was, first of all, a man of strong character and purpose, whose life was completely Hevoted to righteousness and the service of his people. He had the sense of a clear all to deliver Isarel, and with this fame the conviction that the. deverance could be achieved only by men whose spirit was similar to his
He did not want a great army of laggards and cowards, He realized that the strength of his army was in the spirit of those who went with him to a great task, so he took his army down to the water where thirsty men might drink. Some of them bent down upon their knees, taking plenty of time to drink. Others lapped up the water quickly with the tongue as a dog lappeth.” ;

T was these men of action and haste that Gideon selected and set by themselves, discarding those
on their knees and drink. Clearly it came to Gideon that the 300 men he had chosen were sufficient to deliver Israel from the Midianites. But Gideon had strategy as well as courage, as he had faith in the strength of a small army of determined men. He realized that, on the part of those who trusted in numbers, fear might be created by the impression of numbers. Accordingly, he hit upon the device of arming his 300 men with trumpets and lamps and pitchers. The pitchers served to conceal the lamps, or torches, and at the given moment, Gideon commanded his men to blow the trumpets to bring the lamps from the pitchers, and to break the pitchers, so that
that an enormous host had come against them. The strategy worked exactly as
Midianites broke in confusion. Gideon was not content simply with . He put the host completely to rout and effected his triumph. It is a most inspiring story. The watchword, “The sword of the Lord and of Gideon,” has’ found ~fts
