1. 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

a dream, which was that of a barley
cake tumbling into the camp and smit

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).

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.

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
