TmiME—B. C. 1094. Verse. three begins twenty years after the last lesson. (Others make the date B. C. 1114.) L PrLacE—Mizpeh (the “watch-tower”), about three miles and a half north-west of Jerusalem, on a high hill. (2) Ebenezer, not very far from Mizpeh, toward the southwest. SAMUEL was now about fifty years old. His home at Ramah: Now the accepted judege of Israel, making circuits through several towns. SAMSON is supposed to have been a judge further to the southwest, dying two years before this lesson opens. The ARE, after seven months among the Philistines, was restored, and remained for fifty years at Kirjath-jearim, till David took it to Mount Zion.

Ashtaroth: plural of Mshtoreth, meaning the many images of the female deity of the Phcenicians. Prepareyour hearts: fix your hearts on God. 4. Baalim: plural of Baal, the male deity of the Pheenicians; the sun. 6. Poured it out: (1) 'showing that, like this» water, their promises could never be returned to them. Hence it was an act of confirmation of their words. (2) A confession of weakness. (3) A c-mplete renunciation of their idolatry; none was left.

See Place. :

PREPARATIONS FOR REVIVAL—I. A long discipline of trouble because of their sins, leading the people to see how evil a thing sin was. 2. A longing for better things (v. 2). 3. Samuel's labors and teaching. 4. A call to a better life (v. 3). .

- EBeNxEzEß—The people rot only had one victory, but they were delivered for along time from the power of the Philistines, and ere long followed the most prosperous times the nation ever knew. The revival of religion was the beginn‘ng of a new era of prosperity, growth and power.

LessoN FActs—ln the last lesson we saw the Ark of the Covenant captured by the Philistines and carried away. They kept the Ark for seven months. For the story of how they came to send it back, read chapters 5 and 6. At last it came back. But Israel was not yet ready for any great revival, and twenty years passed away. Then Israecl began 4o ‘lament after the Lord.” The time was ripe for a true revival, and Samutl, who, no doubt, had watched for the right -opportunity, came to the people and urged them to put away the strange gods whom they had wickedly been serving, and return . to the Lord their God. This the people did, and confessed their sins to God. Samuel made intercession for them, and things seemed to go better for awhile. But when the Philistines ‘heard that the Israelites were gathered together, they conspired to fight against them. The memory of their past defeats filled the Israelites with fear, and they besought Samuel to pray for them. In response, the prophet offered a sacrifice to God, and God miraculously thundered so against the enemy that they were discomfited and fled before the Israelites, who that day smote them with great slaughter. CoMMENTS—When Israel sinned, might God justly have cast them off forever? Most certainly. Did He cast them off forever? No; for His mercies never fail. - He waited patiently with théem for twenty years, and thenas soon as they began to cry to Him, He heard the voice of their supplication, and pardoned their sin, and restored to them the light of His countenance. This showed what kind of a God He was. “Forgiving transgression and iniquity and sin,’’ such He had said He was to Moses. And so He proved Himself to be to the followers of Moses. What was necessary on the part of Israel to receive pardon? Only that they should repent of their sin, and return to the God ot their f;a.thers} Only this; and nothing more, And as often as they returned, they found that He was gracious and willing to blot out their transgressions. b

- Boitstillis. When we find that temptation has swept us away from that which we know as our duty, we need not give up hope and feel as though on that account the Lord was about to cast us off forever. The better way is to follow the example of Israel and return to Him from whom we have wandered. See how God himself encourages us to do this. Hesays: “Return unto me, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings.” The way to undo our sinsis not by sinning more, but by confessing them to God and asking Him for renewed pardon. ‘Was it not in this way that David and Peter came back? And was it not because he would not thus come to the Master that Judas perished? The teacher must impress this upon the mind of his class, and try to make them understand that in staying away from the Master after they have sinned they are only making matters worse, not better.—Rev. A. F. Schauffler. .~ ; PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS. ‘l. Long years of preparation are needed for a great work. ; 2. God will revive us again, when we turn from sin and serve Him with all our hearts. ' i 8. Leaving all sin, casting ouf “the idols of our hearts’ is the proof of true repentance.. ! A P 4. We should pray one for another. - 5. Public religious services have great value. : 6.

HARRISON AND REFORM.

How Blaine’s Shadow Has Violated His Solemnly-Made Pledges.

The St. Louis Civil-Service Reform Association numbers among its officers such prominent Republicans as Messrs. John B. Henderson, Henry Hitchcock and Emil Preetorius. We congratulate these gentlemen on the high sense of duty which has led the association to express its disapproval of the Harrison Administration. The statistics collated by the association and published in the annual report of its executive committee show that while the average rate of changesin the fourth-class post-offices was only 4 per, cent. greater under Cleveland than under Arthur, the Harrison Administration is making changes at the rate of 75 per cent. a year, or from 1,000 to 1,600 a week. The highest rate of changes heretofore in any single year, as the association shows, ‘was in the year ending June 30, 1886, whep it was 86} per cent.: but the average rate under Cleveland was 22 1-3 per cent.; under Arthur, 18 per cent.; under Hayes, 16 per cent.; under Grant’s second administration, 19 per cent., under Grant’s first, 18} per cent., and in the first year of Grant's about 25 per cent.”” - :

- It must be remembered in considering the figures that Mr. Cleveland found the service entirely ‘partisan. There were no Democrats in it, yet on averaging the changes made during his four years, it appears that there is only a small percentage of difference between the average of changes made by him in order to restore the equilibrium in the service and the average made by Republican Presidents in arranging their administration machines. While this comparison is highly creditable to Mr. Cleveland, it is a strong condemnation of Mr. Harrison, who in a riot of spoils bossism displaced 11,000 fourth-class postmasters from March 4 to June 16.

' “Who then is responsible for this state of affairs?’’ asks the association, and in answering its own question it says: ; 3 It may -be said that Mr. Harrison can not have personal knowledge of all the changesin the vast number ot offices under the Government, and that he can not be held accountable for every act of his subordinates. And this is true. Yet there is a homely fashion among the American people of holding the President responsible for the general conduct of Ehe administration in'all its departments, and of looking to him as the authoritative head to correct all abuses. In this spirit we may weil ask of the President that he put a check upon this headsman in his work of official decapitation, and that his subordinates - may be given to understand, as he himself has formally declared, that ‘“‘only the interests of the public service should suggest removals :from office,” and that, in appointnfents to every grade and department, fitness and not party service should be the essential and discriminating test, and fidelity and efficiency the only sure tenure of office. :

We are confident that General Henderson will fully agree with us when we assert that the President is rightly to be held responsible for this demoralization. General Henderson, in the early days of the Administration, went to the White House and remonstrated against the President’s policy of delegating to local bosses the Executive authority to select public servants under the different departments. The remonstrance was useless. President Harrison has a deputy in every Congressional district in the country, and all these deputies are actively co-op-erating with him in using the offices in an attempt to control State politics from the District of Columbia. . If the Administration has done this while it was new in power and while the pledges it had made were still fresh, what can General Henderson or any other friend of good government and efficient service expect of it, now that all its pledges have been indecently violated and the worst combination of bosses effected that the world ever saw ?P—St. Louis Republic.

PORTER’'S QUEER EDICTS.

A Man Who Should Be Closely Watched by All Honest Citizens.

Every thing that Census Superin-‘ tendent Porter does seems to be viewed with suspicion, én%the singular part of it is that about évery thing Mr. Porter does is calculated to arouse suspicion. When he was appointed it ‘ was proclaimed all over the country that his appointment was solely in the % interest of the monopolies, ‘who relied on him to manipulate the census sta~ tistics so as to make a favorable showing for the protectionists. Possibly the accusation was unjust, yet it ‘ls certain that Mr Porter has done nothing in his own vindication. On the contrary, every move that he makes is calculated to confirm the impression that went abroad when he was first appointed. Not long ago it was suggested to him that the census force should be appointed in the way prescribed by the Civil-Service law. This suggestion was scouted by Mr. -Porter, and he made an elaborate argument to show that examinations for appointment would be detrimeggal to success in census taking. Just as the country had made up its mind to let the census superintendent have his way about it, he reverses his opinion and decides that examinations are necessary. But he doesn’t propose to allow the Civil-Service Commission to have a finger in his census pie, so he announces that he will establish an ‘examination system of his own, independent of the Civil-Service law and rules. Just where Mr. Porter gets his authority to establish a system of _Bpecial examination is not apparent. It occurs to us that, if examinations ‘are desirable at all, the census super/intendent should 'be governed by the general law, which does not except his bureau from its operations. This special examination business is really EWWWWFWQ‘QMW‘WWW cealed in the census wood-pile somewhere. At all events, it will be necwtmwgzmmp 10 keep thelr eyes skinned while Mr. i e S i Gl ‘u‘zf’f‘?i‘?»';ni“:{w;ﬁ‘h&";%"%ﬁ*”i@ﬁ”ﬁ%ﬁ

‘CONCERNING WAGES. Baneful Workings of & Tariff for the Bens« : efit of Monopolists. : In their campaigns the favorite argument of the friends of a high tariff has been the statement that protection increases the wages of workmen, and its absence acted with the opposite effect. Such theories they have ‘preached from one end of the land to the other, and they have often found it effective with people who'do not care to investigate for themselves and discover the falsity of such a conclusion. : : England is the highest type of a low tariff country, and it has not yet become generally known in the United States that wages are advancing greatly there, accompanying the steady improvement of trade in all parts of the United Kingdom. This has been accomplished so quietly that little public attention has been attracted to the matter, even in Great Britain herself. During the latter part of last year the coal miners of Lancashire, Yorkshire and the midland counties of England obtained an advance in wages of ten per cent. Some time ago they asked for another advance of the same proportion, and, after a little delay, it was conceded them that they should have an increase of five per cent. the first of this month, followed by five per cent. on top of that at the first of October. These satisfactory conditions are not confined to the coal miners of Great Britain, but iron-workers, shipbuilders and employes in all kinds of manufactories are rejoicing in an increase of wages. These pleasant results have been brought gbout without recourse tostrikes, and are the natural consequence of Great Britain’s immense trade monopoly, secured by advantageous and liberal commercial laws. ' e

In the meanwhile, things are not going so well in the highly protected United States. Thousands of workmen in the iron region of Pennsylvania are on a strike; the 2,500 employes of Carnegie must take a great reduction in wages; at Brazil, Ind., the coal miners will have to make a choice between starving on scanty pay or starving without it; at Braidwood, 111., they are in the same condition; throughout the Union it is a story of ‘strikes and destitution, all under the sheltering and beneficent wing of the high tariff. Great strikes are of such common occurremce here that they have ceased to be news. In England there has lately been only one—that of the seamen at Liverpool and Glasgow. As wages go up with the Enlish, they go down a - corresponding distance with us. : These baneful workings of the tariff are becoming so plain that the people can not much longer remain blind to the facts which are every day forced upon their notice. Here are two na‘tions of the same Anglo-Saxon race; one ‘enjoys over the other immense advantages in the way of extent and free government; they employ precisely opposite commercial systems; in the small, overcrowded country the masses are daily improving “their condition and increasing their earnings; ‘in the other, where, under the same conditions, it is much easier to prosper, their wages grow smaller every year. How can we ignore these things?— Louisville Courier-Journal.

A step still further in the right direction is to feed unhusked corn, fodder and all, to the cattle. Such innovations may appall many farmers, but what we are drifting toward is not more complicated methods of feeding, but'big crops to feed, better stock to feed it to, and simple rational methods of getting feed to the animals. '

: - PATRIOTIC SAVING. Some Reasons Why Nothing Should Be Wasted on the Farm. A great deal of feed is wasted by poor racks and mangers that allow half the fodder to fall underfoot; and by not having racks to feed in; and by careless handling of the feed. I saw a boy carry hay to a cow; he scattered nearly half of it in the mud. Hay fed to sheep in box-racks should be pressed down with the fork, and not thrown in loose to be pulled out. Over-feeding wastes a great deal of hay, the animals nozzle it over, breathe on it, and make it unpalatable; it is often allowed to remain in the racks and mangers to crowd the new supply out. Leaving wagons, sleighs and tools exposed to weather has been much preached against, but the folly continues. One item of waste is in abandoning the old wagon when a new one is purchased, leaving it in the road or barnyard with a broken wheel or tongue, never to be used again, when at the cost of a dollar it might be repaired for drawing stone, manure and odd jobs on the farm, relieving the new one from a great deal of dirt, exposure and decay, thus prolonging its life and freshness several years. ‘When common-sense gets control, manure will be made and kept under cover, and dead cats, rats, fowls, and even sheep, horses and cattle will not be allowed to rot above the ground to pollute the air and waste the best of fertilizer. .

I have seen farmers go home with empty lumber wagons from village or city where there were piles of ashes, cinders and plaster that they could have for taking them away. In putting up additional sheds and barns I drew the rich surface soil on to garden or fields, instead of covering it up; it often happens that in making roads, embankments, or in grading, that'rich soil, better than stable manure, is covered and wasted, when it ought to be removed and saved. It is a terrible loss when rich bottom-land, long in grass, is plowed and the spring freshets allowed to sweep over and gully it, carrying off the best of the soil. Mix the slops from the house with muck and plaster, and put them on the garden. If you have. children, don’t decide not to keep a cow—she will pay her board if you board her well. Hens are omniverous; keep hens, and they will save a great deal that would otherwise go to waste. Feed s;ﬁeet and turnip tops to cattle; put weeds into the pig-pen; split cabbage stalks and feed with leaves; give all the surplus tomatoes, melons, etc., to what likes them best. Choice bits of timber, iron-bolts, and miscellaneous pieces should be kept foruse. In short, let nothing be wasted. Whoever saves and consecrates the savings to useful ends is a public benefactor—a patriot and philanthropist. —Hugh T. Brooks, in N. Y. Tribune. e R
