The report is published as Water Supply Paper 365 and can be obtained free of charge by applying to the Di rector. United States Geological Sur vey, Washington, D. 0.

It Is certainly restful to be lu the bauds of Him who worketh all things after the couutiel of His own will (Epb. 1, 11) and who snys, "1 will work, and who shall let ft" (hinder, or turn back) tlsa. xllll, 18), provided we have no will of our own in the mutter. Even Sumuol seems not to have beeu fully one with the l»rd concerning Saul, for he continued to mourn for hlui after the Lord had rejected him. HO that the Lotrl had to sny td him, "How loug wilt thou mourn for Saul, seeing 1 huve rejected liirn from reigning over Israel?" When we can say, "Even so, Father," "Just and trmiure thy ways," because we are certain that "As for God, His way is perfect" (Matt *l, 26; Rev. xv, 3: l*s. vlll, 30), we have en tered upon a restful life. Then its continuance depends upon our Hying In the perfect will of tiod moment by momeut Note the messages to Sam uel in verses 1-3: "I will send thee to J ease. I huve provided me a king. I will show thee what thou shalt do: Anoint unto Me him whom 1 name uuto thee." This left nothing for Sam uel but simple obedience to Htm who ♦ was managing. But Samuel had an objection, "If Saul hear It he will kill mo." The Lord quieted him, and matters pro ceeded, and Samuel did that winch the Lord spate aud came to Bethlehem to meet Jesse and his sons (verses 4, 6). The elders of the town seetned to re gard Samuel almost as God Himself or they must huve had very guilty con sciences. for they trembled at his com ing until ussured that be came peace ably. Those who are walking with God need have no fear of a visit from a man of God nor of the coming of the Lord Himself, for"it Is possible so to abide that we shall net be ashamed before Him at His coming (I John ii, 28). Having called Jesse and his sons, Samuel thought that be saw in Ellnb a fit successor to Saul, but the Lord told him not to look on his outward appear anco (verses 6, 7). 'When we consider Eliab's contemptuous and uncalled for treatment of David a little later (xvll, 28) we do not wonder that the Lord refused him, for He knew what was In man (John 11, 25). Seven of Jease's sons passed before Samuel, all who had come to meet him, but the Lord's choice was not among them, so that Samuel had to ask, "Are here all thy children?" Then be learned that the youngest bad been left at home to keep the sheep, and Samuel said, "Send and fetch him, for we will not sit down till he come hither" (verses 8-11). I am interested to know how David felt that day when left at home and all the other brothers went to meet Samuel, for, knowing what we do of David, we can easily Imagine that he would be more desirous to meet Sam uel than any of his brothers would, even though there might be nothing especially for him in It Some day in the kingdom we may talk with him about that particular day. I never read or write this story or think about It that I do not rejoice to see the Lord's wny in it. The young man left at home because he was seemingly of no account ou tbls great occasion, and then all the older brothers set aside and compelled to wait till he came, and then to see Samuel take the horn of oil and anoint him In the midst of his brethren. I think I can hear Eliab say to some of his brothers as they went home ward, "The old prophet must be in his dotage." There is nothing to It, for they did not hoar the Lord say to Sam uel, "Arise, anoint him, for this is he" (verses 12, 13). The comfort I get from it is that the Lord looketh on the heart, not on the outward appearance, and when he wants you for any work He will find you and get you thete in spite of all obstacles. It is ours to keep quietly on minding our sheep, like Da vid or Moses; thrashing our wheat, like Gideon: plowing, like Elisha; doing housework, like Mary of Nazareth; mending nets, like Peter and John, or whatever else Is our regular occupa tion. The Spirit of the Lord came upon David, but departed from Saul because of Saul's failure to obey (13, 14). God allows us to choose, and IX we choose the evil and'not the good we have no one to blame but ourselves. By the advice of Saul's servants he sought some one to quiet him when the evil spirit was upon him, and they recommended David, the son of Jesse, as a cunning player on the harp, a valiant man of war, a man, a comely man, and they also said that the Lord was with him (verses 15-23?. Being sent for, Saul loved him greatly and made him his nrmor bearer. How strange It all seems! God moves In a mysterious way. What a wonderful chapter! How can we refrain from saying. "Lord, take control of me and nil my affairs and work out iti and through me all thy good pleasure." It would seem that Jesse was an old man at this time, and his family consisted of eight sons and two daughters (xvii. 12: I Chron. ii, 1Q), but David's moth er's name is not given. The whole story Is an Illustration of the truth of Epb. 11. 10, that God has the life and service of His redeemed all planned beforehand and will work It out If we will let Him. Sue .Tor. J.
