Text Appearing Before Image:
rd hies Leading some Hebrew maiden?But he, my chief, obtains the richest prize,Garments of curious art, and costly dyes, Eobes with embroideries laden. DEBORAH. 67 So let thy foes, 0 Lord, for ever run Blind, headlong to their ruin;While they that love thee, like the beaming sun,In brightness move, and find, when day is done. The meed of their well-doing. Thus Hebers wife, thus Deborah, heaven-inspired, Fulfilled their dread commission:Overmastering faith their tender bosoms firedTo do high work, and gave the strength required, With inward, prompt decision. Not womans duty now, in wars dire track The angry steel to flourish;Gentler her task—to lead the wanderer back,Sow the true seed, supply the poor mans lack, And all true goodness nourish. Yet come and learn how heavenly faith displays Its brightness in this story;How prompt, how earnest Deborahs song of praise;How quick, at heavens command, true faith obeys, And gives to God the glory. 68 EVE AND HER DAUGHTERS JEPHTHAHS DAUGHTER.

And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and behold, hisdaughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: andshe was his only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, andsaid, Alas, my daughter ! Judg. 11:34, 35, JEPHTHAHS DAUGHTER. 69 In Mizpeh there is mirth to-day, Timbrels and trumpets ringing.7T is Jephthahs home: ye maidens gay,Bring palms, bring flowers, and strew the way, Kejoicing, dancing, singing. Joy, joy for Israel! tidings great On all the high winds flying;Loud heralds at the city gate,Fleet runners, breathless and elate, Their joyful message crying. The Lord went out with Gileads band, And Chemosh fell before him.What idol on his throne can stand,When Israels God with wrathful hand His fiery rod shakes oer him? Then broke the cloud on Amnions head With sudden wild disaster;Her fields are all with havoc spread,Her rivers run with slaughter red, Her king obeys a master. 70 EVE AND HER
