rying thegolden Ark of the Covenant against the waves of the RiverJordan. Oh, no, not against the waves! Look, the waters abovethem pile up like a wall. The river has stopped runningdown stream. Ah, and there stands Joshua, with his staff, saying to thepeople, Come on, take your tents, goods, children, and all.For God is holding back the river until His people, the chil-dren of Israel, have gone over. The priests with the Arkwill stand in the middle of the river, till all have crossed.Then they will also come, bearing the holy Ark of God. So the people did. They walked with dry feet over theriver-bed. And where were they now? In Canaan, the Promised Land, the land that God long agopromised to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. God never forgets His promises. Yet it was more thanfive hundred years since He gave this land to Abraham bypromise. On that day the people saw what a great Leader God hadgiven them in Joshua. They feared Joshua, as they fearedMoses, all the days of his life. Josh. 3.

BIBLE PRIMER 67 31. GIDEON AND THE TRUMPETS. It did not take long before Israel forgot Gods goodness. They prayed to idols, to false gods. So God sent enemies against them. Some of them werecalled Midianites. Whenever the people cried to God toforgive them, He did. He even sent them helpers. Thesewere called Judges, godly men that were good generals inwar. Gideon was a judge. The people were suffering because the Midianites madewar on them again. One night Gideon took three hundred men, brave men!What did they take to fight with? Just imagine: trumpets,empty pitchers, or jars, and burning torches! But you see,God had promised He would frighten the enemies awayjust so. The Midianites have gone into camp for the night. Quietlycome Gideon and the three hundred. All of a sudden Gideonsmen shout: Tor the Lord and for Gideon! Then they pullthe burning torches from the pitchers and break the pitchersto pieces with a great crash. Then what? So frightened were the Midianites in the dark night
