Lesson for July 24
GIDEON: FOLLOWING GOD’S
PLAN
LESSON TEXT—Judges 7:4-7, 15-23.
GOLDEN TEXT—Have not I commanded
thee? Be strong and of a good courage.
Joshua 1:9.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Why Gideon Won.
JUNIOR TOPIC—Gideon’s Band.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—
The Lord’s Three Hundred.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—
A Wise General.
Who is he? What are his connec-
tions? How large an organization
does he represent? These are the
measures of the greatness of a man
which are common in the world.
Even in religious circles there is a
seeking for the men with “big
names” when something is to be
done. Our lesson for today reit-
erates the principle which we all
know but which we practice so little,
namely, that whatever is accom-
plished that is really worth while is
done by God and that He uses only
humble instruments—the “foolish
things,” the "weak things,” the
“base things,” and “things which
are despised” (I Cor. 1:26-29). No
flesh is to have any opportunity to
glory in His presence. If men who
are accounted great by this world
are useful to God it is only because
they are themselves humble in spir-
it and service.
Gideon came from an obscure
family in a small tribe in Israel—
and was astonished when God called
him (Judges 6:15). He asked God for
several signs to assure him that he
was the chosen instrument of the
Lord (read Judges 6), but once he
was certain he went forward, noth-
ing doubting.
I. An Insignificant Army (vv. 4-7).
At first thought it seems almost
foolish to comment on this story of
repeated reductions in the size of
Gideon’s army in these hectic days
when the nations of the earth are
living for but one objective—to cre-
ate a fighting machine bigger and
more fully manned than that of any
other nation.
But on second thought it is just
the time for such comment, be-
cause what the nations are doing is
a perfect example of the hopeless
philosophy of men, while what Gide-
on did is a presentation of God’s
way. These notes are being pre-
pared in a city distant from the
writer’s home, where he is attend-
ing a conference of national leaders
in a field of great and international
importance. A long session just con-
cluded was addressed by a number
of brilliant and capable men and
women—and the conclusion they
reached was that America was a
badly befuddled nation, lost without
a sense of direction in a wilderness
of incoherent and inherently con-
tradictory theories and about to lose
its dearly bought freedom, unless
someone points the way out. The
only solutions offered were bigger
and better human programs, and
when a suggestion was made that
our need might be spiritual the dis-
cussion was promptly directed in
another direction.
We need the lesson today that it
is by the seemingly insignificant
Gideon’s band that victory is to be
obtained. Take courage, ye 300, rid
yourselves of the 22,000 fearful ones,
let God sift out the 9,700 who are
not alert to the danger of the enemy,
and then, under some Gideon who
is obedient to the command of God,
go forward to victory. You are the
hope, and the only hope of our
nation. Do not fail God in this
crucial hour.
II. Obedience to God’s Command
(w. 15-23),
After the Lord had encouraged the
heart of Gideon by the account of
the dream of the Midianite (vv. 8-
14), he and his band are sent for-
ward with strange weapons and even
stranger instructions.
It is not ours to question “Why?”
when God tells us to move forward.
When will we learn that He knows
more than we do, and that obedience
is all we need to render unto Him?
“Behold, to obey is better than to
sacrifice, and to hearken than the
fat of rams” (I Sam. 15:22).
III. The Sword of the Lord and of
Gideon (vv. 18, 20).
While some folk err in counting
the Lord out and making everything
depend on man, there are a few
who make the opposite error and
become fatalistic in spirit and rela-
tively useless to both God and man
—because they hold an improper
view of the manner in which the
Lord works through human agen-
cies.
A man who objected to soul-
winning efforts, and especially per-
sonal work, said that he believed
"God could save a man if he were
alone on the top of the Alps." Of
course He could, but God does not
ordinarily work that way. It is the
“sword of the Lord”—yes, but do
not forget that it is "the sword of
the Lord and of Gideon.” God has
graciously condescended to do His
work on earth through human agen-
cies. Let us be ready and subservi-
ent instruments for His use, but let
us at the same time be alert and
active in His service. The two are
not at all inconsistent, in fact the
one whom God chooses to use is
usually the one who is already busy
about His work.
Wide Brim Hat With Chic Silk Print
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
A word about black and pink. As
the season advances costume after
costume favors this combination. It
gives a pretty effect indeed, when
the dress of pink and black print
is enhanced with pink costume jew-
elry, perhaps adding a girdle sash
of soft pink suede with possibly a
pink suede bolero.
A lovely midsummer sheer cen-
ters the group. This printed blue
and white silk chiffon day dress has
the new square neckline. Watch
necklines! Designers are giving a
lot of attention to them, introducing
novelty in lowcut fanciful outlines
that impart an entirely new char-
acter to the styling of blouses and
gowns. Note also the horizontal
tucked bodice and the skirt pleats
released below the hips. And the
big flower-trimmed leghorn hat.
Wide brims and colorfully patterned
prints play a charming duet in the
fashion picture.
For an afternoon ensemble select
a bayadere silk chiffon dress in
rainbow colors, together with a
navy wool full-length unlined coat,
such as pictured to the left. Take
note of the hatpin on the merry
widow black straw hat with its
crown of taffeta bows and horse-
hair brim.
Speaking of wide brim hats to
wear with print silks the latest
models are taking on tremendously
high crowns that taper toward the
top in early Pilgrim fashion. The
leghorns of this type are especially
attractive. For the most part their
trimming is confined to ribbon
bands with streamers down the
back.

XXf 1NSOME frock of chic silk
VV print that makes you look your
prettiest, hat big of brim that brings
romance into the picture, it’s the
twosome that “does something for
you” and it’s exactly the type cos-
tume that is holding the spotlight in
the midsummer fashion scene.
Special emphasis is being placed
on the vogue of picturesque hats
that have a sentimental air that
tunes in charmingly with the witch-
ery of a brightly colorful, flattering
print gown. Which goes to show
that there is a trend to dress in
lovely-lady fashion. You will find
more and more as the summer
comes on that the “be pretty” mood
prevails throughout the mode.
The trio of charming summer cos-
tumes illustrated is convincing as
to the “prettiness” of current fash-
ions. The dress to the right in-
terprets a new version of the
dirndle in black and pink print silk
crepe. It is shirred at each side
to give moderate skirt fullness in
front with a slim back line. The
box shoulders emphasize smallness
of waistline, a feature especially
indicated in the newer dresses.
Wear black accents with this gown
for town and change to touches of
pink when you go to your country
club. The black hair hat posed far
back on the head and flaring far
up in front is a foremost millinery
fashion. Even the new white felt
tailored shapes have this upward
off-face movement.
ACCENTS OF SUEDE
By CUERIE NICHOLAS
Now that designers have sensed
the vast possibilities suede offers to
the fashion field and now that suede
has been so scientifically treated
that it is rendered thoroughly fab-
riclike, there’s just no end to the
exciting things being done with it.
For instance, this lovely silk print
summer costume, posed by Lucille
Ball, radio player, is greatly en-
hanced with a girdle sash of grape
colored suede with streamers of
matching suede on the attractive
wide-brim hat.
Milliners Are Featuring
Button Bonnets Just Now
Milliners are featuring "button
bonnets” this season. They are as
fashionable for "big sisters” to
wear as they are for the tiny mem-
bers of the family. They are made
of pique, sharkskin, printed linens
and such. While the new button
bonnets are as pretty as a picture
and as chic as can be, they are
something more than mere eye teas-
ers for they are practical to the
nth degree, in that they are made
to unbutton at will so as to lay out
perfectly flat. Which means you
can launder them easily and when
buttoned back into shape they look
like brand new millinery. Flatten
them out by unbuttoning and they
pack without taking up room—ideal
for week-end trips.
STRAPLESS BRA IS
GOOD STYLE NEWS
By CHERIE NICHOLAS
Here is good news, it’s about
the strapless brassiere designed to
wear with the very fashionable
strapless evening gown. It is made
of net or lace with drawstring at
the top and is boned just enough to
keep it up without the aid of straps
over the shoulders. Solves the prob-
lem of what to wear under that
transparent blouse or dress in the
daytime where one must do away
with unsightly straps to look well
groomed. Try the new strapless
bra under your costume slip in
the daytime and you will be delight-
ed at the nicety and neatness it af.
fords.
White for “Undies” Latest
On Calendar of Fashions
If you are casting about for “un-
dies" that express the ultimate in
chic, be style-alert by asking to
see the latest creations in white
“nighties" and slips or foundation
garments and corsetry. A vogue for
pure white is down on the calendar
of new fashions.
Also there is a sentiment gaining
to use fine wash materials, such as
choicest of nainsooks and batistes
and handkerchief linens, dimities
and a whole list of the quaint, beau-
tiful wash fabrics that again have
come into their own.
You will have joyous surprises,
too, in the styling of the various
garments. For instance a dainty
bed-jacket is made of white batiste
with vertical rows of embroidery
beading with the traditional "baby
ribbon” run through and val lace
edgings for trim.
White rayon satin corsets and
foundations that slenderize one to
a finish are also in promise.
Terry Cloth Retains Its
Popularity on the Beach
The introduction of many new cot-
ton fabrics fails to check the popu-
larity of terry cloth when it comes
to beach attire. Coats and capes
of the toweling continue to be fea-
tured, the most striking version be-
ing a two-toned striped pattern. Bold
contrasts such as bright navy or
black with white present the theme
to best advantage. Jacket-like
blouses that have been dubbed
“night shirts," are made of white
terry cloth and take the place of
longer coats for beach wear.

Practical Advice on How to
Keep Cool With Food
By C. HOUSTON GOUDISS
6 East 39th Street. New York City.
17 ROM the standpoint of health, the summer months consu-
lt tute the most important period of the entire year. They
should be used to build stamina and vitality that will fortify
your body against disease. But to many people, the warm
weather means merely a succession of exhausting days and
restless nights. And hardly a week passes without reports
of heat prostrations.
Meeting the Challenge of Hot
Weather
While abnormal heat or hu-
midity may be a secondary cause,
the real reason behind much
warm-weather suffering is a fail-
ure to meet the challenge jf sum
mer with a judicious diet.
Automobile owners know that
no car is better than its engine.
and in warm
weather, careful
drivers watch the
gauge on the dash-
board to be sure
the engine does not
become overheat-
ed. But most peo-
ple give little
thought to that
most remarkable
of all engines—the
human digestive
machinery.
Compared to the engine in your
body, the one in your car is a
crude, rough affair that can stand
no end of punishment. Moreover,
the automobile is driven for a cer-
tain length of time and then per-
mitted to rest. But the marvelous
mechanism which transforms
your food into blood, bone, mus-
cle, and your capacity for thought
and action is never wholly at
rest.
Importance of the Right Food
If the automobile engine re-
quires special attention, how
much more important to stoke
your body engine with food suited
to the weather!
No one would think of going
about in midsummer wearing the
same garments that were worn all
winter. Yet many women continue
to serve the same type of meals
which were required to keep the
body warm in winter. Such a
practice is sure to make you mis-
erable. But more than that, it
lowers resistance and may, there-
fore, lead to illness.
Beating the Heat
There are several factors to
bear in mind when planning the
hot-weather diet. The first secret
of keeping cool is to supply the
body machinery with food fuel
that can be utilized with the least
expenditure of energy. ,
Warm weather is responsible
for muscular relaxation in the di-
gestive tract, as well as other
parts of the body. And you run
the risk of digestive upsets, with
their discomfort and health haz-
ards, unless you make every ef-
fort to lessen the work of your
digestive system.
Eat lightly of rich fatty meats,
pastries, rich cakes, sauces and
gravies. At all times, choose eas-
ily digestible foods.
Overeating Saps Vitality
Don’t overeat. The task of han-
dling excess food is a burden to
the body at any season. In hot
weather, it will cause the body
temperature to mount along with
the thermometer, and may result
in a serious up^et. It is also ad-
visable to cut down somewhat on
the quantity of heat and energy
producing foods consumed—that
is the carbohydrates and fats.
Need for Body-Building Foods
The protein requirement re-
mains the same summer and win-
ter. Some people think that meat
should not be eaten in summer, or
should be reduced to a minimum.
But there is no closed season for
growth in children, and moreover,
they play so constantly and in-
dulge in such strenuous exercise
that they break down body tissue
very rapidly. Adults also have a
constant need for protein to re-
build the millions of cells that are
worn out daily.
It is desirable, however, to
avoid rich, fatty meats and to
select protein foods that are more
easily digestible, as chicken,
lamb, lean beef and lean fish. Spe-
cial emphasis should be placed on
milk, cheese and eggs. These
splendid foods not only supply
Grade A protein, in an easily di-
gested form, but also fortify the
diet with minerals and vitamins.
Liquids Essential
To help you keep cool, the sum-
mer diet must include an abun-
dance of liquids. These are neces-
sary to make up for the large
amounts of moisture lost from the
body through increased perspira-
tion.
Liquids may be taken in the
form of milk, fruit juices and cool-
ing drinks made from pure water
and packaged beverage crystals
containing dextrose, fruit acid, fla-
voring and coloring.
Hot Weather and Vitamin C
Two European investigators re-
cently found that exposure to high
temperatures causes a 50 per cent
loss in vitamin C from the body
tissues. And lowered vitamin C
reserves are partially responsible
for that tired feeling so often ex-
perienced in warm weather. Their
research indicates that drinking
orange or lemon juice, which are
rich in vitamin C, actually helps
to mitigate the effect of the heat.
Choose Cold Drinks Carefully
A cold drink is comforting on a
hot day. And in addition, sweet-
ened beverages help to relieve fa-
tigue, for their carbohydrate con-
tent supplies available energy.
Sugar is the least heating of the
energy producing foods, for less
than one-sixteenth of the energy

With this Free
Bulletin on Planning
a Correct Summer Diet
QEND for the free bulletin on
O "Keeping Cool with Food,"
offered by C. Houston Goudiss.
It outlines the principles of plan-
ning a healthful summer diet,
lists "cooling" and "heating"
foods and is complete with
menu suggestions.
Just address C. Houston Goudiss,
6 East 39th Street, New York
City. A post card is all that is
necessary to carry your request
it supplies to the body is con-
verted into heat. The rest goes
into brain and muscle power.
Therefore, one good way to pre-
vent needless fatigue in summer
is to take a cool, moderately
sweetened drink whenever you
feel tired during the day. This
will satisfy thirst and ward off
exhaustion like a rest by the road
after a long hard tramp.
Too highly sweetened bever-
ages, however, may be heating to
the body, though they are cooling
to the palate. For this reason, it
is advisable for homemakers to
mix their own cool drinks so that
they can control the amount of
sweetening used. It is possible to
buy inexpensive packaged bever-
age crystals in a variety of fla-
vors, which make delicious, re-
freshing and cooling drinks for
general family use. One of these
contains added vitamin D, and as
the sugar is added by the home-
maker, you can be the judge of
how much to use. This is an ex-
cellent idea, especially in house-
holds where there are children,
for the home-made drink satisfies
thirst, provides needed energy
and discourages them from buy-
ing bottled beverages of doubtful
purity.
Cooling Foods
I offer free to readers of this
column a new bulletin containing
a list of cooling foods, plus prac-
tical, specific advice in planning
the warm weather diet. There are
also menus showing how easily
you can KEEP COOL WITH
FOOD.

Peace Palace
The estimated cost of the palace
of the League of Nations is nearly
$9,000,000. It is built of stone and
covers four acres of Ariana Park,
a beautiful hillside overlooking
Lake Leman and Mont Blanc.
With the exception of one million
dollars given by John D. Rocke-
feller for the library wing and
another million for its books, this
money has been raised and paid
out of the League’s ordinary
budget.»
