OAVID CROWNED KING WHILE HERDING SEP Scene Was Staged in Second Most Sacred Spot; Unsought [> Honor NOW OVERRUN WITH SOLDIERS International S. S. Lesson ,1s "David Anointed King," I Sam., Ch. 16 By William T. Ellis Nobody knows what particular deed may determine his destiny, or what humble friends may Introduce him to opportunity. The hishest crowns come unexpectedly and unsought. David was out on the hills tending the sheep when the sceptre and the crown came looking for him. Lowell reminds us: In life's small things be resolute and great To keep thy muscle trained: know'st thou when Fate Thy measure takes, or when she'll say to thee, "I find thee worthy; do this deed for me"? This old story of the anointing of Havid is one of the romances which the world loves. It is staged in the second most sacred spot on earth, the little town of Bethlehem, five miles below Jerusalem. Our imaginations picture the notable processions that have wended their way toward this little Judean town, whose name means the "bouse of bread." We see tho prophet Samuel, with his horn of coronation oil, traveling thither, thinking, perhaps, of the other pil grims, Ruth and Naomi, who had embodied .one of the naticyi's ro mances in the same town of Bethle hem. Centuries later we behold Jo seph and Mary journeying to Beth lehem from Nazareth. Then we see the Wise Men from the East on their camels creating a sensation in this liumble little town. Scholars recall the figure of St. Jeponie traveling to Bethlehem to- make his home for years in a grotto hard by the birth place of Jesus, where he translated the Scriptures into the Vulgate, which is still the version of the Roman Cath olic Church. We see the Crusaders lighting their way 1o Bethlehem in the Middle Ages: and tfie millions of de voted pilgrim feet, that have since journeyed to the oldest church In the world, which is built over the birth place of our I.ord, Now the streets of Bethlehem are echoing to the tramp of armed Turkish soldiers, as the cen tral one of the three military columns struggle and straggle on toward the Suez Canal. The Unlit Man and the Eit, Old Samuel was a sublime figure, ns he went down toward Bethlehem. His heart was heavy within him, but still it was loyal to its mission. He had loved Saul like a son. Upon him he had centered his hopes for a great era for Israel. He had rejoiced at the Jokingly growth of this man who was Ood's second-best plan for the peple. The real decadence and the apparent Helf-exaltation of King Saul smote the heart of the man of God. He who had crowned Saul, had also been the messenger of condemnation and de thronement. Tho fidelity of Samuel in decreeing the king's doom is really thrilling, lie was brave enough to perceive that the. worst service that can be done an unfit man is to keep him in the place wherein he has failed. AVould that churches and organized Christianity in general had some of Samuel's cour age. No other institution is so cum bered up with unfit office bearers. Be cause a gelatinous good nature has been substituted for a resolute and in telligent purpose, incompetent men are retained in pulpits and in office, to the hurt of the kingdom of heaven. The contrast between the decline of Saul and the rise of Samuel is given a touch of the dramatic, be cause it was supposed that the en trance of Saul upon the scene had eclipsed the prophet; but still we see him sweetly and steadfastly at work, saying to God, as in boyhood, "Here am I." He was ready for the hard tasks as for the easy. He would lead the people, or he would provide them with another leader; He would anoint a king, or he would denounce him; all according to the commands of Jehovah. The personality of Sam uel had assumed such proportions in tho life of Israel, that the elders of tho town of Bethlehem trembled as Dandruff Surely Destroys the Hair Girls—if you want plenty of thick, beautiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all means get rid of dandruff, for it will starve your hair and ruin it if you j don't. Jt doesn't do much good to try to brush or wash it out. The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dis solve it. then you destroy it entirely. To do this, get about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips. By morning most, if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it. You will find. too. that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop, and your hair will look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is inexpensive and four ounces is all you will need, no matter how much dandruff you have. Tills simple remedy never falls. ' > —Advertisement.

Seven Strapping Sons It is not always necessary to tell everything one knows. Samuel's realj mission was cloaked beneath the eon- I ventional purpose of holding a serv-1 ice of sacrifices for the city. "Con- j cealment of a good purpose for aj good purpose is clearly justifiable." i The entire community bad the bene-1 fit of the prophet's visit, all because! of one of its families. Many a com- j .munity has since been similarly bless ed. Samuel had been directed by God j to the family of Jesus. More be did i not know, for God keeps even Hisl agents in the dftrk concerning the full- / ness of His purposes. In this Incident the truth shines clearly that God is interested in fam ilies as well as in individuals and na tions. It is well to get a good grip on| God's units of value. From the bless-j ing of Abraham and bis seed down toj the present day, God has shown a spe cial interest in families. To make a God-fearing family is a successful ca reer. The other day 1 met a man- on a train in Texas who took seriously the | business of raising a son. He told j me how homesick both he and the| boy had been for each other during | his brief absence at a convention.,' That man wisely looked upon his work of raising crops and cattle as. merely incidental to the training of a hoy. in this great task of serving so-' ciety by building noble homes the; woman's part is even greater than the man's. In the family of Jesse there were seven strapping sons. One after an-] other these handsome big fellows, all! FEEL YOUNG! It's Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets For You! Beware of the habit of constipation.

O. —Advertisement, 1 of king stature, were passed before i tlie prophet. None of them were in- J dlcated, however, by the inner Voice as the candidate for royal anointing. I The stock of big fellows had slumped |in Israel about this time. Saul had 1 I been a king of that sort, head and shoulders above his fellows. At length the people were getting I the idea that "The mind's the meas | ure of the man," and that physical Kiualities are of secondary impor j tance. One day in a San Francisco ! hotel I saw a most impressive and self j conscious man strutting down the |corridor, aware that all eyes were jupon him. and I asked the elevator iboy, "Is that Robert Mantell the ac |tor, who is now in this city." I The boy answered, "Naw. Tha's nothing but a wine salesman. Mr. I Mantell slips in anil out so quietly you would never notice him." We understand to-ilay that leader iship is with ideas. We are readier : jthan ever to con the golden text of i i the lesson: "Man looketh on the out- 1 ward appearance, but God looketh c on the haart." Tin* I'uiiquet ami the Hoy I One night at a formal banquet were gathered a number of eminent|' men, including one real world celeb-1; I rity. The other diners were all iiri-,, .pressed with the importance of these , j distinguished men. J observed, , 'though, that the most famous man of all, whose namp really has gone •round the wholf world, devoted more iattention to the one small boy in the | gathering than to anybody else pres-1 i nt. liccause he was a groat man hej I knew that the fulure is with the hoy. j lit may be that on that man's place in j jthe literature of history depends on I the boy's impression of him. The j truth is trite that the plastic judg ments of youth are the most important, nevertheless, we continue to despise the youngsters about us, and to pay court to the men whoso judgments are alread formed, and whose influence is passing. That is the old habit that Jesse ar.d his sons followed. They didn't even take the eighth boy in their family jinto account. He was off at a shep herd chore. Yet really the world re | members the father and other seven sons, even though but slightly, only for their connection with the shepherd boy. Many times the Joseph dream has been fulfilled, and the despised of earth have led to honor those who esteemed them so lightly. David was the baby of the family. "David," which is a pot name, means j "darling" or "beloved." The niotnor !able words of the record describe j David thus: "Now Vie was ruddy and j withal of beautiful countenance and i goodly to look upon." So the small hoy was anointed in ' tho presence of the uncomprehending family. It was not well for him or j for them to know that the oil which | the prophet so solemnly poured upon ■ the boy's head had marked him for a| |throne. J.,;ko most of eartli'R great ones, David was early set apart for his high place, and all his life contri buted to his preparation for it. The Boy Who Could I)o Tilings As if by way of training. David was early called to the simple court of Saul. It chanced that somebody in the royal entourage recalled him when a harper was sought. W r e cannot tell who our unknown friends will be the bearer of the news that will call us to the high place. Observe, that David had more than a genial character and general willing ness. ' He could so some one thing well. David knew how to play on a harp and to sing. He had a voice and hands. The practical question arises, Why arc so few of our young people taught definite arts that will make I them valuable to society Every boy s'.ould have some accomplishment that sets hint apart from his fellows, whether it be the way he whittles or sings or does acrobatics or tells stor ies or plavs an instrument. Give the lad an accomplishment that he can contribute to the world While he is yet young. j David was court minstrel, called to soothe the restive spirit of the con- Iscience-smitten king. In all these ex- Iperienees, and in the adversities that | were being prepared for the crown 'that was being prepared for him. So God is always making us ready for the tasksthat He has in store to- us.

This difficulty has been overcome in a garage lately built in one of the suburbs of Chicago by constructing it on a turn table, says the Popular Mechanics Magazine in an illustrated article. The building is 20 feet in length, 10 feet wide, and has doors at both ends. This makes it possible to drive a machine in through the front doorway, swing the whole structure end for 'end. and drive out through what previously was the rear opening. GAS STOVE AND EIRELESS COOKER Automatic control is the principal feature of a new combination gas stove and fireless cooker, which is described, with illustration, in the Popular Me chanics Magaalne. The cooking is be gun by direct heat from the gas and this is continued until the food is browned. At the proper time the fire is extinguished automatically, and the remainder of the cooking is done by the heat retained in the compartment. This is accomplished by means of a timer which may be set to shut off the fire at the end of any given time. THE BATTLE-CRY OF FREEDOM During the last G. A.
