went on to say

If Mr. Gladstone was right, and If
Question of one's relntion to
Jirlst Is the leading question which
nfroats a student, it Is very Irapor-
Int that he settle It early. Indeed this
estion lies at the basis of all educa-

L The keenest delight of which we
a capable comes to us from know

DAVID SPARES SAUL.
LERSON TKXT-I Samuel M:R-1R.
aOI,DKN TKXT Iavo your enenil'-s. dD
good to them that hate you. Luke U:27.
Professor Beecher gives IOCS B. C.
as tho date of this lesson and tbe
death of Samuel Saul had been on
the throne 37 years and David was
twonty-seven years of age. There are
ton famous episodes between the les
son of last week and tbat of today.
(I) David and the shew-bread; (2)
Goliath's sword; (3) David feigns
madness (ch. 21) ; (4) The cave of
Aduilam; (5) His care of his par
ents; (6) The killing of tho priests
(ch. 22); (7) Wandering In the wil
derness (ch. 23); (8) The cutting of
Saul's robe (ch. 24); (0) Nabal's churl
ishness, and (10) Abigail's kindness
(ch. 25). It might be well to have
one scholar give a summary of each of
these events.
I. David and Ablshal, vv. 6-7.
Once before, the ZiphiteB had In
formed Saul as to David's whereabouts
(23:19). Learning that Saul evident
ly Intended to follow him Into the wil
derness (v. 4), David sent spies to
learn the exact location of Saul and
the 3,000 men under command of Ab
ner. Abner was a cousin of Saul, a
brave man with a remarkable history.
Unwittingly they bad placed them
selves In David's power, and that for
a second time (24:3-8). Like the
camp of tho Mldianites which Gideon
visited, Saul and his men were scat
tered about sleeping "within the place
of the wagons" (v. 5 R. V.), with Saul
In the center, the spear marking his
resting place and the bolster beneath
his head. Doubtless Saul trusted Ab
ner's protection, but no arm of flesh
can save or protect a sinful man. From
a neighboring rock David and his
friends could distinguish the spear
and the outlines of the camp. David's
challenge was directed to both of his
companions. Ahlmelech, the HIttlte,
declined the summons, whereas Abl
ebal, David's nephew who had already
proved himself In the affair at the
well (II Samuel 23:13-16) and later be
came a leading figure In David's king
dom, accepted the challenge.
II. David and Saul, vv. 8-12 Ablshal
was quite right that God had deliv
ered Saul Into David's hand (v. 8), but
he was wrong In his conclusion as to
what that meant God delivered Saul
tbat he mlpht, if possible, save him.
It was a challenge that tested David's
maRnanlmity. his sense of honor and
also an event wherein he could appeal
to Saul's honor. Ahlshal s nnger la
evident from his words, "I will not
smite him the second time." There
was ample provocation, but David rec
ognized In this experience the hand
of God, nor would he proiit ty an
other's hand upraised "against tne
Lord's anointed" (v. 9). A conscience
less keen could have found an excuse
for allowing another to strike a blow
to his own profit ' Saul was rejected
of Jehovah, yet David preferred to
let Jehovah execute his own decrees
(ch. 24:15 cf. Ps. 105:15). Here we
have a great principle. In this dis
pensation all Christians are anolntea
of God (I John 2:20), and while some
of these may be "rejected ones" (24:
8. 7; II Sam. 1:16) still we must De
satisfied to let God avenge our wrongs
and establish us In that place to which
he has called us, resting assured that
he will see to It that we get to that
place. To have yielded to the lowest
motive would have heen termea
Eood nollcy." but for the future king
to hnve been accessory to the fact
would have endangered his own fu
ture safety. David yet lovea saui
In spite of his cruelty. It appeals
to our pride and our love of power
to have revenge within our grasp, but
It Is a greater evidence of power and
grace to be able to withhold, and still
more noble to have no spirit of re
sentment. By keeping Chrfct before us
constantly, remembering that he "re
viled not," we can forgive even as he
forgave and do good to them who de
spitefully use us. Instead of killing
Saul, David carried away his spear
and his cruse, both emblems of Saul's
kingly office and power. These would
be sufficient evidence that God had
delivered Saul's life Into David's hands
and that David had not used to his ad
vantage this opportunity.
III. David and Abner, w. 13-16.
Returning to his vantage point,
doubtless the brow of a hill on the
opposite side of the valley, a point
of safety, David awakened the sleep
ing camp. Abner replied, "Who art
thou?" This cry sounds strangely like
the present-day replies to the chal
lenge of our David when a sleeping
camp of sin Is aroused. This call
came at night When our King shall
return his visit wlil be unexpected and
at night (I Thess. 5:2-4; Rev. 16:15).
It would seem like a humiliation for
this proud, haughty general, Abner, to
be taunted by David (v. 15). As chief
officer ho was responsible for the
king's safety and his life. David
therefore might well reproach and
chide him, Tor his lack of fidelity was
worthy of death. When Saul was
thoroughly awake to the fact of
David' vlBlt to his camp and the fact
that his life liad been spared, he was
moved to another one of bis moments
of repentance (vv. 17-21).
IV. The Result, w. 17-25. David's
address to Saul, Is a remarkable one
He first appeals to reason (r. 18) and
desires to know what. If any, fault
he has committed. He next challenges
the motives which Impelled Saul. Was
It God who sent him on this Journey
or was It the evil counsol of men
(v. 19) T If this latter then let God
deal with them according to their
Just deserts. And, finally, David uses
tho two similes of flea and a par
fridge as evidence of bis humility, his
tnnffenslveness, his barmlossness
(Luke 14:11).

Chrlntlan Temperanpe Unlon.t
NATION ON THE WATER WAGON.
"The German emperor has put us In
the way of saving ourselves. Not be.
but drink, was our enemy, and the kal
ser has slain our enemy for us. He
has made us adopt temperance and
nothing can defeat us now." This was
said In Petrograd by Mr. Benlslowsky,
director of the RuBslan-American
Steamship company and a member of
the duma, as reported by Mary Isabel
Brush in an article, "A Nation on the
Water Wagon," in the Saturday Eve
ning Post To the czar the writer
gives credit for the empire-wide stop
page of drink. Others, she says, would
have stopped the sale of vodka merely
for tbe mobilization, but it had long
been the determination of the czar to
abolish the evil and with the war
came the psychological moment When
his prime minister declared a total ab
stinence measure "Impossible" he re
quested his resignation, and shortly
afterward Issued tbe mandate which
lifted the liquor curse from a domain
which covers one-seventh of the entire
globe.
"Russia," says Mrs. Brush, "entirely
sober for the first time in her national
existence, stands up bright and buoy
ant, with a new hope and a new Joy
She has no regrets and no problems
Even the minister of finance, His Ex
cellency Mr. Bark, says she has not,
as he stands smiling with optimism In
the capital of his emancipated country
and faces the situation of raising to
replace the revenue from vodka the
modest sum of a thousand million
rubles a year."
BEER CONDEMNED.
After twenty-five years of practice
Dr. S. S. Lungren, a leading physician
and surgeon, has this to say about
beer: "It Is difficult to find any part
in the confirmed beer drinker's ma-
chlnery that is doing Its work as It
should. This is why their life cords
snap on iiko glass rocs wnen aiscane
or accident gives them a little blow.
Peer drinking shortens life. This Is
not a mere opinion; It is a well-
settled, recognized fact. Physicians
and Insurance companies accept this
as unquestionably as any other undis
puted fact of science. The great Eng
lish physicians decide that the heart's
action is Increased 13 per cent In Its
efforts to throw off alcohol Introduced
Into the circulation.- The result
easily figured out. The natural pulse
beat Is 76 per minute. If we multiply
mis oy ou an nour, ana z nours in a
day, and add 13 per cent, we find that
the heart has been compelled to do
an extra work during that time In
throwing off the burden of a few
drinks equal to 15.5 tons lifted one foot
high.
REASONS FOR ABSTINENCE
it's hard to be a physical advlsei
and keep off the subject of alcoholic
liquors when you realize that there
never can be anything like a high
average of physical well-being In a
country where a large part of the
male population insists on poisoning
Itself regularly or periodically. I will
simply sum up a few of the reasons
strictly from the standpoint of the
physical trainer why men should not
drink alcohol
Alcohol Is not a food; It is a drug
It injures the blood.
It retards the digestion,
It is the worst enemy of the brain
worker.
It hardens the liver.
It destroys the kidneys.
It furnishes no support to the body,
It is a depressant
It is a most destructive agent In the
state of health or of disease.
It deadens the body and the senses,
It affects the mental and moral side
of nature.
Alcohol users show death rate of 20
per cent greater than nonnsers.
THE PRIME CAUSE.
Chicago's recently appointed mor
als commission will, ft is said, study
the city's vice problem and find ways
and means to solve it will "Investi
gate causes and devise methods of pre
vention." This Is another blow for
the saloon. There can be no inves
tigation Into causes of vice and dis
ease which will not show that the
liquor traffic does more than anything
else to produce and foster all phases
of Immorality.
VALUES IN MAINE.
The valuation of Maine Increased
In 1914 by the substantial sum of
$9,503,696. There was an Increase of
$741,071 In the value of live stock;
and an Increase of $695,991 in tho
value of automobiles. The total valu
ation of automobiles was $4,047,516;
live stock, $17,961,690. The total valu
ation for tho state 1b $439,629,198 This
if divided among the population
would give every one of the 742,371
Inhabitants $592.50 each.
NEW WAGON NOT NEEDED.
In one West Virginia town It Is re
ported they ordered a new automobile
police patrol Just before the new liq
uor law went Into effect. It was not
delivered for some weeks and after
seeing the result of the new law they
cancelled the order, saying tbat the
old horse-drawn vehicle could do all
the work necessary.
STRIKE AT THE ROOT.
A gentleman having called In bis
phvslclan, said: "Now, sir, I want no
more trifling: my Illness Is serious,
and my desire Is that you should
strike at the root of my disease.'
"It shall be done," said the physi
cian, and, lifting his walking-stick, he
smashed to atoms the wine decanter
which stood on the table.
TENDS TO LAWLESSNESS.
The saloon Is t business the natural
tendency of which Is toward lawless
ness, and the time has come when It
will either nin tho politics of the state
or be run out of the politics of the
state. Joseph W. Folk, ex-Governor
of Missouri. ,

Riley's "Lost" "Works.
Tbe search for the "lost" works of
James W'hltcomb Riley, which has
been carried on for almost a year In
connection with the preparation of the
first complete collection of his works
In prose and poetry, has brought
to light a great mass of material of
which little or nothing was previously
known. More than two hundred hith
erto unpublished poems were discov
ered. One of the most typical of the
Hoosier poet's works dating back to
tbe earlier days of bis career is an Il
luminated manuscript of a poem en
titled "Man's Devotion." Another In
teresting find was a 4aby book con
taining pictures of the child friends
of the poet. He wrote a poem to each
of the little portraits.
Took Easily to Strong Drink.
It was some time about tbe middle
of the seventeenth century that the
practice of adding bops to malt liquor
was Introduced (lnto England and nu
merous petitions were sent to the king
and to tbe protector of tbe common
wealth that this "wicked weed" would
poll tbe drink and endanger the lives
of yie people. Historians with a taste
for statistics have found that In 1586
there were 26 breweries in the city
of London and tbat their output was
650,000 barrels per annum. It would
be Interesting to get at the per capita
consumption of beer among the Eng
lish and the Germans In those times,
which appear to the people of the
present as having been very hard
