A Synopsis ef the Book of Judge* This book covers the period from the conquest of Canaan and the death of Joshua to the judgeship of SamuoL The teacher should master the con tent of the book in. order to teach this ipoeisllj slmptoia ..BHA. L The Sin of the People (Judg. 2:6- 13). While Joehua and the elders of his feneration lived, the people in some measure remained faithful to God. In obedience to His Word, but the very next generation went Into apostasy. Their degradation may be accounted for as follows: (1) Failure to drive out the Canaan- itee from their midst. They had gained the victory ever them, but failed to exterminate them. Their mis taken tolerance became their undoing. (2) Their amalgamation with the Cahaahitea. They Intermarried with the heathen. Tolerance ef the enemy Is closely followed by union there with and quick disaster comes in the wake of such union. (S) Idolatry. Intermarriage with the heathen was soon followed by the worship of the heathen’s gods. God’s people lose power over the world ss soon ss they make alliance with It. 2. God’s Judgment for Their Bins (Judg. 2:14, 10). Ho delivered them Into the bands ef “the spoiler that spoiled them." 8. The Repentance ef the People (Judg. 8:9). Under the yoke ef their enemies they leerned their felly and cried onto the Lord for deliverance. 4. God’s Deliverance at the Hand ef the Judges (Judg. 2:16-19). Ged heard their criee and by raising up military chieftains ss Judges be saved them out of the hands of their enemies. A repetition of sin. oppression by the enemy, repentance on the part of the people and God’s delivsrsnee, consti tute the story of the book of Judges. II. Tha Victory ef Gideon’s Rand (Judg. 7:1-28). Gideon was the most outstanding of the Judges. He came from an ob scure and uniafluential family (6:15). Before going forward be wishes to be doubly sure (6:86-40). When once he was convinced of duty, be was coura geous and enthusiastic. This is char acteristic of all truly great men. 1, Th* Oppoelng Army (v, 1). Gid eon and his army rose early on that eventful day and they came by the spring of Harod. Over against them was the host of the Midianites in bat tle array. ___ 2. The Sifting of Gideon’s Army 'w. 2-8). At Gideon’s call 32,0U0 men responded, ready for the struggle. This. seemed a small army to go against the Midlanlte army, 135,000 strong, but God said this was too many, lest they be led to boasting and self-confidence^ The real danger was not in their small army but in their pride. All that were afraid were allowed to go back, leav ing only 10,000. Still this was too many. When God was through sifting, 'oly 800 remained. 8. God Gives Encouragement to Gideon. He bade Gideon go down to SUFFERS ATTACK cu,m ’"- si>pTB of this the Mldianite camp, where he would . ^ ^ hear something that would cheer his tempt made to take heart and strengthen his hand When * AV ‘ * be came near he heard s man telling a dream, which was that of a barley cake tumbling into the camp and smit ing it He alee heard the Interpreta tion' given to the dream which made Gideon to be that cake. 4. God Gives Victory to Gideon (vr. 16-23). His attack was unique Ths whole matter was of faith (Heb. 11:32). Gideon with his 800 men formed into three companies, each man being pro vided with a trumpet and a lamp con cealed within a pitcher. Thus armed they surrounded the camp of the Ml- dlanlteo. They were all Instructed to keep their eyes upon their leader and imitate him. At the proper moment they blew their trumpets and broke thetr pitcher* giving opportunity for the lamps to shine out 'This awful crash of broken pitcher* following the sound of trumpet* accompanied by the shout, ’The sword ef the Lord and of Gideon,” threw the Midianites into a panic, causing them to fight among themselve* One hundred and twenty thousand were thus slain, leaving but 15,000 of that mighty army (Jndg. 8:10). Olga Morton Tied aa Was Louise Law- son. Silk Stockings Knotted oa Hands and Towel Abouf Throat After Ldte Party- New York, Feb. 17.—Police were disinclined to credit fully tht story told them today by Misa Olga Morton, a carbaret dancer, that a mysterious man gained entrance to her West Forty-sixth street apartment this morning and bound and gagged her in a manner similar to that used in kill ing Louise Lawson, music student, February 8. Physician found only wrist bruises on the girl, who was said to have been found lying unconscious on the floor of the hall in her apartment when her negro maid arrived. Police examined the premises and after listening to a short recital of Miss Morton’s story said they would question her later. case, the alleged Attackers of Miss Morton did not touch her jewelry. She has been estranged from her hus band, Frederick Camp, a bank em ployee. New York, Feb. 17.—Olga Morion, yputhful estranged wife of Frederick Camp, bank employee, was found un conscious today in her West Forty- sixth street apartment, gagged and bound in a manner exactly similar to that used by the robber-murderers of Louise Lawson, actress, who was found strangled to death in her studio rooms February 8. Miss Morton was revived and is not in a serious con dition. Miss Morton, like Miss Lawson, was found by her negro maid, her hands tied with silk stockings, a face towel used as a gag and a bath towel throwi) over her head. She was lying face downward in the doorway leading from the parlor to the bedroom. The maid had stayed in the apart ment until S o’clock this morning when ten or 12 of Miss Morton’s men and women friends, who had made up a patty in the apartipent below, de parted for their homes. Miss Morton was quite fatigued, they said, and she prepared her for bed before leaving and locking the entrance door. At about 10 o’clock this morning when the maid returned, she found the en trance door unlocked. 'She saw the trussed up body of her mistress as she opened the door.' Screaming she ran to the street, shouting for the police. A physiqian called by the police re vived the young woman, who told them that she was awakened some time during the night to see a man standing over her, a horrible grin on his face. Before she could cry out the man placed a hand ever her mouth and then she felt a towel about her throat and consciousness ebbing away. There was no disorder in the trim little apartment and Miss Morton was too hysterical to tell the police any more. The^attack, .almost in every,detail was so like that which resulted in the death of Louise Lawson that the po lice intimated they were certain both young women were victims of the same men, who have become known in police circles as the “towel stran glers.” The theory that robbery was the motive for binding and gagging Miss Morton has lost credence, the police said later, since apparently no at- anything from the apartment. Guests at the party in the apart ment below, which was given by A. Genero said to be a broker, included a “Dr. Luby” and a “Mr. Carpenter,” detectives said they had learned. “Mr. Carpenter” was said to have visited the young woman’s apartment at about 4 o’clock but was refused admittance. Both of these men will be questioned by the police, it was said. Detectives said the young woman married Camp last September but lived with him only one day. of the progressive country.” Bringing Mr. McAdoo’s name into the inquiry, Hie statement said, was an attempt by Republicans “to divert attention from their own derelicions.” The Inquiry, the statement said, had dearly indicated "the high necessity of a complete and rifeeping change in the management of our government.” The suggestion of Mr. McAdoo’s withdrawal as a candidate* the state ment said, “is not worthy of serious consideration" and would be tanta mount to * the abandonment pf any promising attempt to rescue the ad emment from the hapds of those who have been despoiling it" Declaring that McAdoo supporters “do not propose to be stampeded intq any alteration of our determination to * the state ment said: “The attacks made upon Mr. Mc Adoo are evidence of the fear in which he is held by those responsible for the preemit state of affairs.
