THE VICTORIES OF FAITH TOLD IN 6I6LESTUDY Here Is Concrete Picture of Youth, David, in an Exploit. The International Uniform Sunday School Lesion for July 24. The Victories of Faith. I Samuel 17:31-37, 40-12, 48-51. BY WM. E. GILROY, D. D. Editor of The Congregationaliit The lesson for today” logically preceds that of last week, and a seeming discrepancy in the chronolological order is one of the things that reminds us that various historical writings of the Old Testament are compilations in which the editor, or compiler, has availed himself of more than one account, interweaving these various accounts into the narrative. Here in our lesson we have a concrete picture of the youth, David, in an exploit which has challenged, since the day when it was written, the imagination of the young. Incidentally, for older readers this story has become a spiritual symbol of real strength as opposed to mere size and bluster. On the one hand Is Goliath the Philistine, a giant physically, parading, as was the custom in ancient warfare, before the opposing armies, defying anyone of the hosts of Israel to come out and fight him in personal combat. The men of Israel were fearful of his apparent power and were impressed by his bravado and bluster. No man volunteered to go out, even trusting in spiritual forces, and pit himself against this swaggering champion of the Philistines. Too Young to Fight Into the camp of Israel came a young shepherd boy, not as a fighting man, but bringing refreshment to his older brothers. They thought of him as too young to fight and they had left him keeping his father’s sheep. But the open-air life of a shepherd, protecting his flock in those dangerous areas, was not entirely the beautiful pastoral thing we often associate with shepherding. There were times when this young lad had to defend his flock against attack, and he had killed a lion and a bear, even going after the bear and rescuing a lamb that the animal had taken. The lad who had killed a lion and a bear was not apt to be very fearful of what he described as “an uncircumcised Philistine defying the armies of a living God.” But David trusted to his own weapons and his own mission. He went forth with a sling, choosing a few small stones. Goliath was not quite prepared for warfare such as that; Manifestly he was affected by the pyschology of the thing. He did not know quite what to make of it, and he had not quite recovered from his surprise lentil a smooth stone

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Music Romance “Dear Little Rebel,” a oneact musical romance of the old South, will commence a vaudeville tour at the Palace soon. Nancy Gibbs, prima-donna actress, featured by the Shuberts in operettas and music plays, is the stellar principal. A cast of ten includes Robert Vrnon, P. J. O’Connor and Dick Trouth. The book is by Edwir. Burke and the lyics and music by Cliff Hess.

out of the sling found a vulnerable spot in his armor, penetrated his forehead, ana felled him to the earth. It was a day of victory for Israel, for when the Philistines t saw that the champion was dead, as the record says, they fled. We leave to the boys and girls the story In its mere details, to emphasize the way in which this lesson has been again and again repeated in history. The great and swaggering things of life are often inherently weak when they are challenged with the spirit of real courage. It is not in size that strength consists. Especially in the moral and spiritual realms the thing that seems so small as to be almost negligible Is discovered to be the thing of real power. It was this that Paul had in mind, reinforcing his whole observation in life, when he spoke of God as choosing weak things to confound the mighty, the things that are naught to bring to naught the things that are. Example Often Repeated It is the lesson of the walls of Jericho falling before the trumpet blasts and marching power of a few determined men; of a great Spanish armada dispersed and terror-striken by a brave-hearted and resourceful English admiral with a few ships; it is the story of a few praying women attacking the Goliath power of the liquor traffic in America and of that giant, strongly entrenched in the business and politics of the country, collapsing before their determination and their prayers. We can stand a little more of that spirit of trust in the right to finish this job, and the many jobs that still confront those who would destroy the strongholds of iniquity. The lesson of David’s sling is that he used the weapon that he had, which he knew, and to which ha was accustomed. It is in the power to use wisely and well what we have that our chance of effective service lies. (Copyright, 1927, NEA Service, Inc.)

Teams can also play in pairs, threesomes or foursomes. “Skee Ball” is only one of the many enjoyable features that are offered patrons along the big njidway. There is the automatic baseball game, the Kentucky Derby, with its miniature race horses who speed across the track, the popular doll racks, rifle range, corn game, cane racks, penny arcade, country store and a host of others.

During a fight at Algeciras, Southern Spain, he got the four ears and two tails of the two bulls there. When a matador is awarded one ear of the two or three bulls he killed one afternoon, it is a great victory. Two ears is better, but the award of three or four is sensational. The addition of one or two tails, is almost unheard of. Belmonte is 35 years old, hardly five feet high, and weighs about one hundred pounds.
