REPENTANCE TO BE THEME OF SUNDAYLESSON David Had Capacity to Bea Sinner as Well as a Saint. The International Uniform Sunday School Lesson for Aug. 28. Repentance: ' What It Is and What It Does Does." II Samuel 12:1-10, 13. \ BY WILLIAM E. GILROY. M. D. Editor of the Congreratlonalist David, as every Bible reader knows, had In him the capacities of a great sinner as well as those of a great saint, and the Biblical story reveals the seriousness of his moral lapses as well as his finer aspects as poet and singer. Possibly in few characters in history have good and bad been so strangely blended. The man, who has become known in history as the “sweet singer of Israel,” the zealous young patriot who slew Goliath in the hour of his country’s danger, the king who so solidified the national life of Israel that he might almost be spoken of as the founder of Israel’s political history, was, in plain words, an adulterer and a murderer. Lesson Seldom Realized The lesson of this, while it is sufficiently obvious, is not always realized by men and women in their life conduct. So many times the sins of life seem easily justifiable, or are so pleasant and alluring, that men and women are almost trapped into them before they realize the way upon which they are entering. It is remarkable in history how closely adultery and murder have been associated. Let us remember, also, that the finer aspect of Dovid’s love for Bathsheba, and the evidences of a deep and permanent affection be tween them that transcended momentary temptation and gusts of passion, did not alter the evil of their course or the fact that their illicit love led to the death of Uriah, a man whose only fault was, ap- % parently, that he was too trusting and too loyally devoted .to his soldierly duties to play the part of a gracious and easy-going husband. The record indicates that he j/s&s a good and faithful man. yet Daviddeliberately had him placed in the thick of the fight that he might be killed. Thank God for his prophets and ministers in every age who have not hesitated to speak the truth even in high quarters where their own safety was in danger. Thank God for a prophet like Nathan, who did not hesitate in the form of a. clear and unmistakable parable tor drive home the truth to David, and who, when David, roused to indignation against the man who had done the gross wrong that Nathan described, dared to say directly to David, “Thou art the man.” It Is a glorious figure of “the man of God,” which some of the modern prophets who sit in the seat of the scornful, especially where the ministry is concerned, might well take

to heart. There have been many of these true ministers of God In the history of religion. When Repentance Is Late Nathan drove home the truth to David fearlessly and clearly. David showed his greatness in the sincerity of his repentance. It is only the small man who justifies himself when his fault and his sin are made plain. Possibly most of us are small men. Our natural course when we are accused of wrong that we have committed is to seek in some way to excuse our fault or justify ourselves. The way ot repentance >. not only the right way, it is the way of strength and courage, and it is the only way to the real restoration of life. Unfortunately, even repentance, sincere as it may be and powerfully as it may accomplish the restoration of the sinner, cannot re-estab-lish the things that sin has destroyed. David was repentant, but Uriah was dead. How much better is that repentance cf soul which keeps a man from sinning before it is necessary to turn from the havoc of sins already committed?

PSYCHOLOGY IS USED ON LIGHT COMPANY BILLS Hartford Firm Announces 40 Per Cent Reduction For One Month. Bit United Press HARTFORD, Conn., Aug. 27. When the Hartford Electric Light Company, early in the week, announced it would reduce bills of all its customers 40 per cent for October, it merely was applying psychology to business, in the opinion of Samuel Ferguson, president. The 40 per cent reduction is equivalent to a $200,000 distribution, he told the United Press. This money vould otherwise have gone into andi r idends to stockholders or into the surplus of the company. If used for the latter, it woul have been invested in company plants. In explaining the action of his board of directors, Ferguson declared that rather than reduce the kilowatt rate, it was thought advisable to give the consumer the benefit of a successful year by reducing his October bill 40 per cent. “There is a great amount of psychology in business,” he declared. Provides Cushion “What we are actually doing fts establishing a cushion between our rate and business conditions. And we are also giving to the consumer the benefit of our success quicker than he would get it in a rate reduction. “For a rate reduction would have to wait until the end of the year. The reduction would then be made but without absolute assurance that it would not have to be raised if business - were to take an adverse turn. Our 40 per cent reduction in October, however, has been made now as we know that we will make enough money to v/arrant it. If -business should fall off next year we woqld not change the rates, but would merely refuse to vote the reduction in bills.” Here’s Another Stunt Following up the policy of “pyschloiogy,” Ferguson said the company sends out bills each month on which is printed last year’s rate of 5% cents per kilowatt hour. This rate is crossed out and the new rate, made last January of 5 cents, printed beside it. “Many people believe that we are using up old bill heads,” Ferguson said, “but we are not. We deliberately had the old rate printed and crossed out to bring home to the public that we are reducing the rate whenever we feel it safe to do so.” "I don’t want people to think this reduction is charity,” he concluded, “we feel every one benefits by our policy.” Is Completed “Hula,” the new play of sugar plantations, bathing beaches and grass skirts of Hawaii has just been completed by Clara Bow.

SCORE MINE SEIZURE ts. S. Insists Mexican Reds Surrender Property. By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—The State Department is prepared to insist to the Mexican government on the return to American owners of the Amparo mines near Etzatlan, Jalisco, Mexico, officially seized by “Red syndicates,” or unions. Meanwhile the department expects Mexico, as requested by American Charge Schoenfeld, to afford military protection for the eighteen American and eleven British employes reported barricaded near the mines. Fear for the safety of these foreigners continues, despite assurances of the Mexican foreign office that their situation is "satisfactory.” There is no connection between this reported illegal seizure and the dispute between the two governments over the land-oil laws providing for expropriation of American properties for failure to comply with the disputed laws, it is said.

ALASKAN FISH RULE OPPOSED Small Pack of Salmon Is Put Up This Year. By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.—With a smaller pack of Alaskan salmon being put up this yeiu' than idt five years past, Delegate Sutherland of Alaska has renewed his attack upon the Alaskan fishing regulations of the Department of Commerce. The fishing industry estimates the 1927 pack at between 4,350,000 and 4,500,000 cases, as against a pack of 6,633,000 last year, which was the biggest in history except in 1918. Sutherland said that some packers were reporting a total catch of only 10 to 50 per cent of last year’s. There is no immediate likelihood of a shortage because of the big carryover from last year, he said. “What I am concerned about is the future of the industry, however,” he said. “If to the fish there must be a high escapement, as advocated by the United State Bureau of Fisheries, there can be but one conclusion drawn from this year’s fishing: the number of fish allowed to escape has bean too small.”
