Make a dry toast, spread with but- Yer and sprinkle with salt. Place it fn the dish in which it is to be serv- ed. Pour over it a little boiling wa- ter; cover and place in the oven for a few minutes to steam. Put into a saucepan one tea- spoonful of butter.

Barak said, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go; but if thou wilt not go with me, I will not go.--It is strange that a warrior, used to bat- should be afraid to go into the 'conflict without the presence of a woman who presumably-knew noth- ing about warfare. And she said, I will surely go with thee.--Doubtless there was considerable argument between De- borah and Barak before she lly ureed to go. She could not see y Barak ought noi. to lead his army to victory Notwithstanding ig journey that thou takest shall n e for thine honor; for Jehovah oil sell Sisera into the hand of a woman.--Debor- ah calls attention to the fact that rak was less great than he might have been, and that, although he would win the victory, it would not be his victory; it would be the vic- tory of Deborah who was his inspir- ation, his real leader. 10. And Barak called Zepulun and Naphtali together to Kedesh.-- These tribes were very quickly up ten thousand men at his feet. tM his feet" is a very picturesque expression to indicate the eager- of the Israelites to follow the call é6f Deborah and Barak. They came in such numbers and were so ready for the fray that they vireuale ly crowded round his feet. 11. Now Heber the Kenite had se- parated himself from the Kenites.-- This verse seems to be introduced to show how it was that Sisera (see verse 17) could flee away to the tent the Kenite for refuge. 12.

From Harosheth of the Gentiles, unto the river Kishon.--This was the far-flung battle line which Sis- era threw out, reaching from Mount Tabor over to Mount Carmel, al- though it is evident that his forces were massed at the River Kishon. 14.

Every [an Has God Given. the of Moral "When ye spread forth your hands, I will hide mine eyes from you; yea, when ye make many pray- ers, I will not hear: vour hands are full of blood."--Isafah i., 15. If any one thing is clear, amid the confusion and terror of the pre- sent hour, it is that humanity is it- self responsible for the overwhelm- ing cataclysm of disaster in which it is now involved. The immorali ties of international relationships the cynical reliance upon force a the sole security of nations, th sirdid struggle for political supre macy, the brutal lusts of commer cial rivalries, the threats of mili tarism, the tyranny of autocracies, the pride of 'kings--above all, th: disregard or defiance of all those gentle precepts of forbearance, mercy, good will, seli-abnegation, which constitute the warp and woof of individual happiness and social peace--these are the sins which have brought our present misery upon us. Of this great war, as 0 eve: ill to which human flesh is heir, it is true that man's own blindness, wilfulness, blood guilti- ness are the cause of all his woe. We Are Responsible. And yet there are those who hold God responsible for the horrors of our day and seem to find an exult- ant joy in proclaiming that they can no longer have faith in a Deity who can decree, or even permit, such things. To all such let me commend the words of the prophet which have been taken for our text. To each one of us He has granted the power of choosing between good and evil. very influence of His grace moves us toward the choice of the good and away from the choice of the evil. We have only to yield our- selves to the currents of His Holy Spirit to find ourselves borne irre- High Privilege: Fre dum. sistibly toward "the infinite sea of truth. But in the last analysis the power of choice is ours, and otirs therefore the responsibility for re- sults. Not even to Jift us to the best-or to spare.us from the worst will God intervene, for to do so would be to transform us into mere automatoms and thus rob us manhood, Just here is the agony of God for che ignorance and the sins ~{ men. How does He weep at the follies of Jur lives: how does He pour out His Spirit upon us that we may feel und yield to its saving influences; and how, when the worst appears, does He turn away His face from the.crimes with Which we defame His holy name! At this very mo- ment, for example, when, as in the days of Isaiah, our "Hands Are Full of Blood." I believe God hides His eyes from us, and when we pray wil] not hear the words we speak. The very hor- ror of our condition, the very depth of our misery, the perfect blackness of the storm of passion now ravag- ing the world, is but the measure of our remoteness from God and the proof of the severance of our wills from His If blame must fall, let it be upon ourselves and not upon God. If faith must falter, let it be faith in men and hot in the Most High. God wills, as He has ever willed, the best. God waits, as He has ever waited, to help us, save us, that the best may come into our lives. But the condition of our acceptance is the same to-day as it was yesterday --"Wash you, make you clean, put away the evil of your doings from before mine eyes; cease to do evil; learn to do well; seek judgment. relieve - the oppressed, judge = fatherless, plead for the widow."-- } mediately under his leadership. When a battle went in favor of the Israelites, it was because they be- lieved Jehovah discomfited the enemy.

It must have been fierce in its contact. Sisera alighted from his chariot, and fled away on his feet.--Sisera evidently was a coward, He left his men to their own discomfiture. He himself would flee to safety. This fact relieves somewhat the awful- ness of the manner in which he met his death shortly afterw&rds at the hands of a woman (Judg. 4. 17, 22). 16. But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the hosts.--Even e charriots were put to confusion, so that the footmen of the Israelites could pursue the horses of the en- emy. Not a man left," is the em- phatic way in which the writer des- cribes the awful loss that the enemy suffered. To Combat An Unkown Poison. To neutralize the action of an unknowa# poison, when there is 'no means of finding out, give calcined magnesia, powdered wood charcoal and hydrous peroxide of iron, mix- ed in 'equal quantities. Half an ounce of each, mixed with a glass- ful of water, to be taken every half- hour until three doses have been administered. Where the poison- ing results from an_ overdose of chloroform, turpentine, strychnine, prussic acid, Opium, chloral, etc., an emetic should be given at once. Mustard and warm water is per- haps the most easily procured em- etic' to be found in the home, and this should be administered without delay, and its use continued unti it has the desired effect. Salt and lukewarm water will do almost as well. It is no use waiting for the doctor's arrival' with a medical emetic. Give the mustard and wa- ter at once. as every minute is of extreme value.
