In the midnight hour of Israel's hope God called Gideon to the task of com manding the army in driving out the invading Hidianites and in delivering His people from their bondage. This call came as a surprise to this great lover of his family, his coun try, and his God. Upon discovering God's will for his life and dedicating himself unreservedly to the doing of that will, having been assured of the Lord's presence and power, Gideon proceeded to carry out the divine instructions. Thirty-two thousand men responded to Gideon's call. Not wanting the Israelites to take all the credit to themselves and to boast of what they had done, God com manded Gideon to reduce the size of his army. When the test of courage was applied, twenty-two thousand of the men went back home. When the test of earnestness and zeal was applied only three hundred proved themselves to be qualified for such a hazardous undertaking. What was even more strange, God took away all the weapons of the three hundred before He allowed them to go into the battle. God's way is so different from man's way, but it is always best. Only heroic men could have survived the shock of such an appalling depletion of numbers, leaving three hundred men to fight one hundred thirty-five thousand. To say the least, there was a very unusual procedure, but it teaches us that a few with God can be far more effective than a whole multitude without God. CARD OF THANKS "I would like to express my appreciation to each of you for your prayers, cards, visits, flowers, gifts, phone calls and all other acts of kindness shown me during my recent hospital stay and since my return home. May God bless each of you is my prayer. Minni Goodwin" CARD OF THANKS "I would like to take this opportunity to thank each of you for your prayers, cards, visits, flowers, gifts, and all other acts of kindness rendered me during my stay in the hospital and since my return home. All of these meant more to me than any of you could possibly know. May our Heavenly Father add his richest blessings to each of you. Beth Winslow" Gideon's tactics were very unusual He and his servant,' ; Phurah, moved cautiously to the camp of the enemy for: reconnoiter, which was an unusual thing for a general to do. When he returned, he so thrilled his three hundred men with : the courage of his own gallant heart that they were willing' to go anywhere at his command. To each of his men was given a trumpet in his right hand, a pitcher in his left hand, and a lamp or torch inside the pit: cher. All were instructed to follow the example of their leader. At a given signal each man would be responsible for blowing his trumpet, smashing his pitcher on the rocky; ground, holding high and swinging to and fro his torch and crying, "The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon." Awakened '. from sleep, the Hidianites heard the blaring of the trumpets ; and the crashing of the crockery, and seeing the glare of the. -three hundred lights, they concluded that Gideon's forces I had surrounded them. In their confusion and panic they rushed hither and thither in the darkness and slew many of their own people. When the bloody tragedy was ended,; many had been killed and the rest had fled, but without one of Gideon's men receiving a wound. This victory was one of the military marvels of all time. What was the secret of their great victory? That secret was revealed in the words, "And they stood every man in his place round about the camp." Gideon and his men were united in mind and purpose. Each was willing to do all that 1 he could to win the victory. All of the three hundred followed ai 1 -1 1.. J.. J v J 1 : j l - a. li iue example ui weir ieauer auu uueyeu ins uruers w me let ter. Not one of them became discouraged or faltered. They were courageous and brave all the way through. Each man stood in his place and did his part. Each enthusiastically put everything he had into the battle for God and righteousness. Because they took their rightful places before God and did their part, He blessed them with a wonderful and memorable victory. As certainly as God had a work for Gideon and each of his men, He has a work for each of us today. If we will take our rightful places before God and do our part, God will be with us and do His part, thereby crowning our efforts with suc cess in every undertaking that He has assigned to us. Surely this lesson teaches us that greater emphasis needs to be placed on the importance and value of each individual standing in his place of service for God.
