DEATH OF ELI. International Sunday-School Lesson fox ' July 14, 1889. . [Specially arranged from S, 8. Quarterly.] LessoN Text—l Sam. 4: 1-18. - GoLpEN TEXT—His sons made themselves vile, and he restrained them not.—l Samni. '8:13. CENTRAL TRUTH—We can not keep the sin and escape the consequences. Tmme—B, C. 1114. About twenty years after the last lesson. - Prace—(l) Ebenezer, named from Samuel’s victory twenty years later (1 Sam. T: 512). It was fifteen miles west of Jerusalem and twenty miles southwest of Shiloh. (2) Shiloh, the capital, a few miles north of Jerusalem. ; g

SaMuEL—--About 82 years old. ErLr—Judge and priest for forty years. Now 98 years old. He was a Levite, and descendant, of Aaron through Ithamar. HoraNl, ‘‘the fighter,”” and PuINEHAS, ‘“the brazenmouthed,”” degenerate sons of Eli. Samson, in another part of Israel, was just beginning his exploits, B. C. 1116-1096. The Fhilistine oppression had existed twenty years and continued twenty years longer (Judg.l3:l). i

INTROUUCTION—The fearful doom of Eli’s sons revealed .to Samuel was not fulfilled for twenty years. So much time was given for repentance, but the result was in preparation, and now the time had come. HeLps oveEr HARD Pracrs—l. The word of Samuel: this sentence belongs to the last chapter. It shows how wide Samuel’s influence extended during the twenty years. The Philistines: a rich, war-like Nation on the west coast of Palestine. Ebenezer! see Place. Aphck: a place near Ebenezer. 2. Let us fetch the Ark: thinking that God would protect the Ark, even if with it-He had to save them while still unrepentant. - Which dwelleth Dbetween the cherubim: here God manifested His glory between the cherubim over the Ark. Hophni and Phinehas: see above. By this plan they were brought into the battle to ‘be slain. 10. Into his tent: i. e., home (Josh. 22:8). 11. Ark of God taken: a proof that God had departed from them. Hophni and Phinehas: . . . slain: the sign fulfilled, foretold by Samuel (2:34). 12. Ran: a professional runner, accomplishing his fifteen miles in the hours of daylight remaining after the battle. A tradition of the Jews says it was Saul fieeing with the tables rescued from the Ark. 138. Seat: a judgment seat or throne at the entrance of the city. It had a canopy over it, but no hack to the seat. 18. ° When he made mention of the Ark: this shows how Eli prized God and his religion above all personal possessions. ;

LEessoN. Facrs—Looking carefully at the lesson text, we shall see that it really sets forth a great harvest. These are the gatherings of Israel.to throw off the Philistine yoke. Tell the scholars about the first futile attempt to do this, as given in chap. 4:1, 2, and about the vain hope that God would assist them if the Ark of the Covenant were with them, irrespective of theireconduct towards God. But all their expions werevain. The Philistines gathered ourage from despair, and fell upon Israel with fury. Israel was smitten before them, and fled every man to his tent. Go on to draw vividly the scene at the gate, where sat poor, anxious KEli, waiting for tidings. In comes & man Wwith torn garments and hgyrified mien and announces the fearful defeat. Eli, oold and blind, asks what is thegause of the tumult, and receives the méssage with its trinity of sorrows for him, that Israel is defeated, both his sons killed, and the Ark taken, At the mention of the loss of the Ark of the Covenant, the old man’s heart fails him, and he tumbles over backwards from his judge’s chair and. is at once killed by the fall. :

ComMeENTS—Now return to the ideu of the great harvest. (a) Israel reaped a harvest of defeat. How did this come about? Surely not because they had not numbers enough with which to fight the Philistines. For Gideon with three hundred men had ouce defeated a much larger army of Midianites than the Philistines ever assembled. Surely not because God was not able to: maintain the honor of His Ark. For soon after, the Ark, unaided by any armies, was a source of bitter vexation to Philistine lords. No; Israel reaped defeat simply because they sowed disobedience. Recall to the scholars what God had said to Joshua years before: “Observe to do according to all that is written (in the law), for then shalt thou make thy way prosperous’ (Josh.1:8). As often before, so now, Israel forgot this fundamental command of God, and as a result reaped the harvest of disaster. (b) Hophni and Phinehas reaped an. awful harvest. Rapacious, licentious, blasphemous,they had profaned holy things. In common with Israel, they mistook the mere outward sign of God’s presence for that presence itself, and thus in reality trusted in the Ark, and not'in God. Like many in Israel later, who ‘took the serpent of brass and began to worship it, forgetting that it was only a symbol of an underlying reality, so did these wicked men. Such being the case, no one wonders that their fate was what it was. We are rather surprised at the long-suffering of God in sparing them as long as He did. They sowed the wind and they reaped the whirlwind. (c) Eli reaped a sad harvest. His fate was by no means as dark as that of his two sons; for though his conduct shortened his earthly life, he was a Godly man. His heart was bound up in the honor and safety of the Ark, even more than in his sons’ welfare. Still his end was a sad one, and his earthly career ended in darkness. Compare his death with the death of Joshua, and you will easily realize this. (Josh. 24: 29-81). His sowing in the education of his sons had been faulty,and his harvest was devoid of any joyful song of har-vest-home.—Rev. A. F. Schauffier. PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. : 1. Children may grow up bad amid good influences. : . 2. In disorderly families both parents-and children are usually to blame. \ 8. God gives abundant time for repentance. z

4. The most sacred religious forms will not save us without the spirit of religion. 5. God cares more for the worshiper than for the temple. 6. The punishment of sin will come in due me : -

7. There is no escape but, by forsaking sin. 8. Disobedience to parents can only bring disaster and ruin.

Wgz are profited by keeping the soul in a condition of uplifting. Man is, by his creation, a being who turns his face upwards, and grace teaches him to keep his mind fixed on God reverentlv and devontlv..

THE BERLIN CONFERENCE.

Sober Second Thoughts Suggested by the o Howls of the Jingo Organs.

Mr. Phelps, one of the commissioners who negotiated the Samoan treaty, by which, if we may trust the newspaper correspondents, Germany, England and America undertake to regulate affairs in Samoa, has returned to America with a copy of the treaty in a yellow bag. ' ‘ The Senate of the United States will be asked to ratify this agreement, or whatever it is called, and, until it is made public, all discussion of specific provisions is premature. ‘

But, if we are to . believe the boasts of the| Republican organs, if we are p}roperiy to interpret English praise of American Jingoism, the Samoan treaty is a wide departure for American diplomacy.

From the inception of the controversy it has been evident that Germany was ready to respect American rights in Samoa when our case was properly presented. Secretary Bayard plainly stated the claims and complaints of America and American citizens. If Mr. Rlaine’s commissioners have simply adhered to Mr. Bayard’s case all will beg well. : - But, from the utterances in the Jingo press, it seems they have gone beyond this, and have formed an alliance with England and Germany for the government of Samoa, just as Spain, France and -Germany once formed an -alliance, treaty or agreement for the proper government of Mexico. 2

What is Samoa to us or we to Samoa, that we should depart from the principles laid down by Washington 1n his farewell address, and adhered to with admirable consistency from that time until now? Is Blaine a greater statesman, a more thorough American, a more skillful diplomatist than Washington? o ; “Observe good faith and justice toward nations. Cultivate peace and harmony with all,”” said Washington; and he added: “Europe must be engaged in frequent controversies, the causes of which are essentially foreign to our concerns. Hence, therefore, it must be unwise in us to implicate ourselves by artificial ties in the ordinary vicissitudes of her politics, or the ordinary combinations and collisions of her friendships or enmities.

“Our detached and distant situation invites us to pursue a differeat course. If we remain one people, under an efficient government, the period is not far distant when we may defy material injury from external annoyance; when we take such an attitude as will cause the neutrality we may at any time resolve upon to be scrupulously respected; when belligerent; nations, under the impossibility o'f{ making requisitions upon us, will not lightly hazard the giving us provocation; when we mgy choose peace or war, as our interest, guided by justice, shall counsel.”’ :

These are words -of wisdom, of sound and prudent judgment, of firmness and patriotism, and by these instructions must the Samoan treaty be judged.—Louisville Courier-Jour-nal. :

BIG-MOUTHED MR. TANNER.

The Corporal’s Eagerness to Cast Reproach on the American People.

Corporal Tanner, in his eagerness to cast a reproach upon the American people for their lack of gratitude to the veterans of the war, asserted in a recent speech that ¢at least ten thousand honorably discharged soldiers and sailors cf the Union army and navy lay down their heads this night on pallets of straw and eat the bread of charity in the almshouses of the Urited States.”” The answer to the general charge is that the Government oi the United States pays a pension according to the degree of disability to every honorably discharged soldier who was wounded or contracted disease in the service and in the line of duty. A pension is also paid to the widows and minor children, and in certain cases to the aged and infirm parents of deceased soldiers.. The pension expenditure for the next year will exceed sloo,ooo,ooo—a greater sum than the annual cost of maintaining the vast military establishment of the German Empire on a war footing. As for the specific charge, it would be interesting to learn in what almshouses are the 10,000 honorably discharged, soldiers of whom Corporal Tanner speaks. The general Government and many' of the States have established homes in which the honorably discharged . veterans are provided with every comfort, so that if any of them can be found in almshouses their residence there is from choice rather than from necessity. Investigation will doubtless show that most of these alleged soldiers in almshouses lack the essential requisite of an honorable discharge. Disagreeable as itis to recall the fact, there was a disgraceful horde of deserters, bounty-jumpers and maligners during the civil war, and it is quite probable that many of these have finally lodged in the almshouses of the country. How great is the number of such there is. no means of ascertaining, but they must not be confounded with the veterans of the war. :

The policy of establishing soldiers’ homes under National and State auspices should be liberally extended so as to provide a home for every 1111?1orably .discharged veteran who may ‘seek one. This would be far more lib_eral to the poor and infirm soldiers than the passage of an Indigent Pension bill, as the small amount from this source could not-possibly maintain them in any degree of comfort. - But this poliéy does not suit the claim ' agents and the demagogues, who are endeavoring to make the most out of ‘this pension business without regard 1 to the true interests of the soldiers or of the country. —Philadelphia Record. ——A friend of Alexander Sullivan in this city is authority for the state‘ment that he had personal knowledge F}otithef fact that, in case of the election of James G.

TO CORRUPT MONTANA.

The Latest Plot Hatched by Harrison and His Vile Managers.

. So the Dudley and Quay methods are to be adopted in the fall to debauch Montana and win it away from the Democratic party. The political signs in the new State have cousiderably alarmed the President and he has intimated to Matt Quay that Montana must be looked after; in other words, the blocks of five and other methods must be put in force to prevent three more Democrats from being sent to Congress. ,It is said that the President and his manager have outlined a plan of action calculated to save the new State to the Republicans. It is not known how much of the ‘‘fat’’ of last year’s campaign remains in the hands . of the: Republican National Committee, but whatever it is, it will ‘be devoted to the purchase of votes in Montana. Should the amount not be sufficient, Sunday-School Wanamaker may be called on again to help the cause of corruption: It is hardly possible that the rascality of last fall can be repeated this year in any part of the country with success, and that Montana should signalize its entry into the sisterhood of States by submitting to be branded in such a foul manner. Harrison and Quay may plot as they will and regard American voters as purchasahle and in the market for the highest bidder. They will find themselves confronted by an indignant public opinion, which will render their iniquitous designs futile." The people of Montana will not allow themselves to be defrauded of their choice of Congressmen, as the Nation was of its choice of President by purchased votes, for they have been warned by the lesson of the last election. If the notorious Dudley attempts to employ his vile arts in the new State he will meet with a far different reception from that his agents expérienced in Indiana. They have a very expeditious way of disposing of obnoxious characters in the far West. There is no Judge Woods in Montana to screen Dudley, but a celtain Judge Lynf,h, who is very prompt and effectual In his methods.” This execrable plot against a new State is befitting an Aministration that obtained control of the Government by bribery and corruption, and is ready, at all times, to prostitute the functions of the Government to gain votes. It is rather too early, however, to try again the foul methods that made Republican success possible. The public mind -is still awake to the enormity of the crimes committed against the most sacred rights of the American citizen, and the new conspiracy of Harrison and Quay against the ballot-box in Montana will, likely, lead .to serious trouble for the Administration. —Albany (N. Y.) Argus.

CURRENT COMMENTS.

Throw down your muskets and follow me into freedom.””—Boston Transcript. : 4 ——Grover Cleveland is- kept pretty busy, it appears, declining invitations to banquets and such like great times. He ig in hard luck. It's pretty sad to have to worry, along through life without any of these invitations, but to have them showered on you and then to be compelled to decline is infinitely worse. Unhappy lies the head of a popular ex-President.—Chicago Mail (Rep.). : — ——Only one member of the Republican Executive Committee in Indiana remains without a Government office, and he has been called to Washington to receive his reward. It is understood his dividend of the spoils will be the comfortable and lucrative post of Marshal of the District of Columbia. The lot of the office-beggar in a ‘‘doubtful State’” is a happy one. Something ought to be done by the hungry Republicans of Illinois to make their State doubtful. —Chicago Globa. . .

- ——The Joliet (Ill.) Press and People says the Joliet rolling mills subscribed $25,000: to Mr. Quay’s campaign fund last year. Recently the company made "a twelve per cent. reduction in the wages of lits employes, by which, says the Press and People, *‘they will recoup $15,000" of that sum.”” So the fellows who are getting “practically the sole benefit of the tariff laws,”’ to quote Mr. Foster, are very generally making the workmen pay their campaign contributions.— Boston Post.

~ FARM AND FIRESIDE. - —A good appetite indicates good health. Itis no disadvantage to have an animal that is a heavy feeder. Such animals usually produce proportionately to the quantity consumed. The food is simply the material to be converted into products. i —ln cutting up chickens be sure to use a knife to disjoint them, instead of chopping them. Also gare should be taken with all meats not to use a hatchet, as the fine splinters and slivers of bone, which are excgeedingly sharp, may cause serious trouble if taken into the mouth and stomach.—Country Gentleman. ‘ —The Journal of Health asserts that no thoughful mother should rest unsil she has taught her daughter to do well the following things : To make a cup of coffee, to cook a loaf of bread, to cook a potato, to broil a steak or chicken, to cut, fit and make a dress, and to set a tidy table. . —Lima Bean Soup: Put a quart of dried beans in a saucepan, cover with boiling water, and boil slowly one hour. Drain and pass through a colander. Put a pint of milk on to boil, add the beans, thicken with a lump of butter rolled in flour, let it boil, add the beaten yolks of two eggs, season with saltand pepper, and serve.

—The farmer, because of the credit system, indulges in many luxuries that would be denied if tﬁey were to be paid for at the time. It is an easy matter to give an order 'with the sugtion to ‘‘charge’ this,” and if paid at the time would be easy; but it is the accumulation of these little charges that soon confront the debtor in the shape of -an enormous bill that causes the troubie and inconvenience. It would be far better for all farmers if the rule of paying as one goes could be adopted, or elsenot to go. , —Strawberry Acid: Have three quarts of ripe strawberries, two ounces of citric acid and one quart of water. Dissolve the acid in the water, pour it over the berries in a stone pot or glass jar, and set in a cool place for twentyfour hours. Then drain off the liguid and pour it on three quarts more of fresh berries, and again set it aside for twenty-four-hours. Drain again, and add as many quarts of sugar as you have of juice. Boil and skim for three or four minutes. When cool bottle and cork lightly for three days, and then cork tightly, A spoonful of this in a glass of water is a most refreshing drink.—N. Y.

OVERFEEDING THE PIGS. It Produces Apoplexy; Paralysis and Other Serious Ailments. ; Swine are proverbially greedy, but it is the duty of the owner of an animal to control its natural habits when these are opposed to its well doing; so that the first thing to be done in feeding young pigs is to measure their feed judiciously. They should never have all they will eat. Only fattening swine should be so fed, and they would soon die from overfeeding if they were not killed. When a young pig chokes at the trough, squeals and falls over in a fit, it is overfed; when it goes to the side of the stall, champs its jaws, foams at the mouth, and does nothing else than this, it has been overfed, and in both cases it is suffering from congestion of the brain, due to indigestion and disturbed circulation. 1t isin a state of apoplexy and will probably die, anyhow, but the others may be saved by at once reducing their feed to about one-tourth of what they have been getting. The prevalent paralysis of the hind limbs is caused by over-feeding by which the kidneys have begn overtaxed and the nervous system of the lumbar region (the lions) is disturbed. Thus the power of motion of the hind legs is lost. Recent. experiments in feeding young pigs goes to show that a forty pound pig needs no more food per day than two quarts of milk and four ounces of solid food, such as bran or oats and corn-meal. On this allowance, gradually increased, pigs make a steady and healthy growth|, while two others kept in a pen by themselves, and suffered to gorge themselves, became stunted, stopped growing and in the third week one;was attacked by congestion of thd®rain and had to be starved out of it, losing fully two months’ growth. When young pigs are weaned, they should be fed in a shallow trough, from which they can take food only slowly. A pint of milk and two ounces of boiled corn-meal mixed with the milk will beenough for a daily ration the first week, and a gradual increase may be made, substituting raw meal, not exceeding the limit above mentioned, for a sixweeks’ or eight-weeks’ old pig of the best kind, and less in ratio with a less weight. Over-feeding is the common bane of the pig.—American Agriculturist. : ® N
