The actual situation is incomprehensible here. Up to Monday morning no one appeared to know anything about the Anglo-t iertnan projected demonstration. The foreign minister said that he COB&idsred a menace on the part of Qertnanj to l Inadmissible and that any threat would be annually a ballon de enssl (a feeler), while as for England, aid the minister, ike had no grounds for aggression An inspection of the two legttloni Sunday showed there were then no preparations indicating that the ministers intended to abandon their posts. The government has made no military preparations at Ls Guaira.

I lujuestionabl v .Samuel did a much larger work because of bis early consecration to God. He is one of the great men of history. Kli did something towards bringing ubout the unity of the tribes; Samuel thoroughly completed it. He delivered Israel from the PhillstineSS brought it back to the worship of Jehovah; judged the nation worthily; prepared the way for the monarchy; instituted a school for prophets, etc. His whole life .shows the value of S right beginn ing. The circumstances attending the birth and earlv life of the world's great and good men are always of Interest and value. We tud.v the child in order to know the man. So we treasure the facts about the childhood of Joseph, Ifooes, Samuel, David, ami more than all, of Jhens the Christ. liapter 1 tells of the grief of Hannah, because tied had given her n. children. Her husband's other wife for in those days men often had several wives- had children, and she taunted Hannah in a very unkind way bccau.se she was not ao blessed. This was especially bard to bear at the time of the yearly visit of the family to Shiloh. to worship nt the tabernacle, Shiloh was at this time the religious capital of Israel. On one of these rii ts, though her husband Elkanah tried to comfort her, she was too sad to eat, and, nftrr the sacrificial feast was over, she remained behind "in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto .lehuvah, nnd wept sore " And she promised lr her heart that if Jehovah should o ns wer her prayer she would bring the child up as a Naarite and detHcnte him wholly to JehovahV service. Though at first Kli. who was Meli priest, thought 'rnm her strange actions that she was drunk, he soon saw- Iii mistake and said to her: "(io in pco-e and the God of Israel grant tliy petition." The next year when the family went up to Shiloh. Hannah remained n- home to lake care of the child that had been born not long bfore, nnd whom she had named Samue'., which means ' Asked of God." The song which follows seems to tv- only remotely connected with the foregoing Its theme is the httmi'HStion "f the Joftv and the exaltat fori of he lowly, which i developed with no special reference to Hannah's circumstances " Driver. Tin- reference to Jehovah! kintr lends many to think that it was composed during the kingdom which had not been established in Hannah's time.
