Place.â€" Hazor was in the tribe of Naphtall, at the extreme north of Israel's territory OTerlooklng Lake Merom. Deborah lived on the confines of Benjamin and Ephraim, near Ibe city of Bethel: Mount Ta- b-T Is in the mi.jt of the great plain of Jezrcil, in the very middle of Palestine, and in this mountain the river Kishon takes its rise. 1. And the children of Israel again did that which was erll in the sight of Jehovah, when Ehud wad dead. The institution of Judge . orer Israel Is record-d in 2:16-23. The rise of each Jud^ ; follows God's puntsh-ient of Israel for her repeat- ed disobedience to him. 2. And Jehovah sold them into tb»< Iiaud of Jabin ' ing of Canaao. Tb^ t reigned in Hazor. No one knows Fxactly where Hazor was lo- cated, but it was certainly to the tribe of Xaphtah, and overlooked the waters of Merom, far north in Israel's territory. The captain of whose host wag Sisera, who dwelt In Harosheih of the Gentiles. The exact location of this city is also 9 matter of great dispute. 3. And the c'tildreu of Israel cried unto Jehovah: for hi had nine hun- dred charijts of iron: and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel. Trouble ought always to bring us to the Lord. Once you sweeten your ' morning cereal with BEE HIVE I you'll know how I good cereal I tlRHSV"^ TRY IT TOMORROW Dc': '- A* Judge 4. Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth. she Judged Israel at that time. There ara two L-borahs :i the Bible, tho earlier one eing the nurse of Rebekah (Gen. 35 :S). The word "Deborah" means "'the bee." Dr. Abraham Kuyper calls her "the Joan of .\rc of Israel's astonishing history." She Is one of the most remarkable w> men In al Ithe Bible, and this ac- count of her life will be found a most fascinating page of sacred history. The word "proptetess" here "implies the possession of po- etic as well as of prophets gifts (Eod. 15:21))," andx we see her right to such a title in her predic- tions (T. 9), her lofty courage (5:7) and the splendor of her Inspired . -. b'.if ij the onlr female Judge or, indo d. female ruler of any kind In Jewish history, except 'he Phoenician murderess. Athaliah. 5. And she dwelt under the palm- tree of Deborah between flamaL and Beth-el in the hill-coantry of r ihrain : and the children of Is- rael came up to her for Judgment, Cf. Gen. 14:13 an! I Sam. 14:8. The two cities mentioned here were on the confines of Benjamin and Ephraim. The palm where she sat In Judgment was called after her the Deborah palt.. Her "ift of pro- phecy qualified her to Judge the nation, to settle such disputes among the people themselves as the lower courts were unable to de- cide. 6. And she sent and called Barak the son oT Abinoam out of Kedesh- naphtali, and said unto him. Hath not Jehovah, the God of Israel, com- manded, saying. Go and draw unto mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Xaphtali and of the children of Zebulun? 7. And I will draw unto thee, to the river Kishon, Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thy hand. Already known in Zebulun and Naphtali as a man of bold temper and sagacity, Barak was in a posi- tion to gather an army corps out of those tribes, the main strength of the force on which Deborah re- lied for the approaching straggle. Better still, he was a fearer of God. The Victory 9. And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding, the Journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honor; for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a wo- man. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh. To enter In- to the force of Deborah's statement, we must remetuber the humble and almost downtrodden position of wo- men In the East, so that It could hardly fail to be a humiliation to a great warrior to be told that the chi%f glory would fall to a woman. We can imagine Deborah in that time of trial growing up into tall and striking womanhood, watching with indlguation -iiany a scene la which her people showed a craven if" v> FROM the day it wm introduced, the Firestone Standard Tire has more than lived up to its name by setting a new high standard of tire value.

It was la her own soul. !ihe might wake It la other souls. 12. And they told Sisera that Ba- rak the son of .\binaam was gone up to ouni Tabor. 13. And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gen- tiles, unto the river Kishon. 14. And Oeaorah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which Jehovah hath d'elivered Sisera into thy hand: U not Jehovah gone out before thee? So Barak w.»a- down from mount Tabor, and ten thoucand men after him. The tremendous moment has come. C'p." cries De- b>rah. She has waited till the troops of Sisera are entangled among the streams which here, fro: various directions, converge to the river Kishon, now swollen with rain and difficult to cross. Barak, the Lightning Chief, leads his men impetuously down into the plain. The Ilishon sweeps away many of the Canaanite bos;, the rest make a stand by Taanach and further on by the vi;;r3 of Megld- do. The Hebrews find a higher ford, and following the south bank of the river are upon the foe again. Only the fragments of a ruined army find shelter within the gates. Symbol of Conflict The defeat was crushing. The immediate enemies of Israel were utterly routed. The He"jrew» were safe for years to come from the warlike tribes vhicti held so tea- aeiously t» the land. We cannot help looking u"oa these conflicts in the book of Judges as certstnlr symbolic of the great conflict that every Christian knows as he wrest- les, not with flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers, against the world-ruler* of this darkness, and spiritual wickedaesa In heavenly places. Victory is cer- tain only when the Lord is with us and only when we walk in his will and contend against evil in his power. We are more than conquer- ors, but only through the Lird Jv sus Christ. The Song of Deborah. Judges 5:1> 31. Commentators of every age, conservative and liberal both, hare vied with one another in their praise of this remarkable ode. The song of Deborah is unsurpassed la Hebrew literature in all the quali- ties of poetry, and holds a high place among triumphal odes in the literature of the world. While Germany is reckoned, by tradition, to be a nation of beer- drinkers, figures show that Britain is. in fact, the greatest beer- drinking nation. The consumption per head of beer in the British Isles is given as 136 pints, while in Germany it is 113 pints. Eng- land ranks first as a beer coa- sumer, Austria is second and Ger- many tkird. Germany, however, drinks more hard liquors and wines per person than England. Are You Listening?

How To Brew TheBettTea One Teaspoon or Bag For Eack Cop Is Recom men ded Some of you may enjoy the Bag- llsh custom of serving aa early morning cup of tea with a buaculL Or you may like tea with any meaL Or perhaps you look forward to the afternoon tea hour. However you like your tea. It must be brewed right, says Katharine Ftsher, direc- tor of Good Housekeeping institute, who gives this advice on how to brew tea: Be sure the water put on to boil for brewing tea is fresh from the tap. Use one teaspoon of tea or a tea bag for each cup of tea. If yoa like you can add an extra teaspoon or bag for the pot. Then heat the teapot with hot water, drain it, and add the tea. Over the tea pour tha babbling boiled water and let stand in a warm place to brew. Never pour the boiling water in the pot or tea- cup and then add the tea. A brew of Ave mimitaa â€" or la some case* a little longer, depend- ing on the tea yoa use â€" will bring out the flavor of the leaf. Some people prefer a shorter time.
