So in the great cam paign of Gideon, thonsandaof strong men were left in the camp of Israel, but Gideon, with his three hundred brave men, went on to i.nmortal victory, because they weilded a weapon of strange temper.

God has honored the farmer above every other class of men. inasmuch as farming is the only worldly occu pation under Heaven in which God has declared Himself 8 to be man’s partner in making this earth yield her increase. God gives to man health and strength to till the soil, He gives him brain to think, and He sends the rain and the sunshine. When God had created all things He said to man, all these arc tha^^orks of my hands, take them and use them for my glory and your good, and I verily believe if this command had been carried out as God intend ed it, this world today would be a paradise and man would be God’s companion and friend, as in the be ginning. For God said I will make man after my own image. I will create him for my own glory.
