SUNDAYSCHOOL Lesson XL—First Quarter, For March 14,1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, I Sam. xi—Memory | Verses, 12, 13—Golden Text, Prov. xvi, 32 —Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. After the Lord had brought to Samuel the man whom He had chosen as king for Israel and Samuel had anointed him he returned to his home, has'iug met on his way all whom Samuel said he would meet, for all came to pass just as Samuel said. The Spirit of the Lord came upon him, and he became a changed man (chapter x, 6 10). All this was a private matter between the Lord and Samuel and Saul, for when Saul reached home be only told that Samuel had assured him that the asses had been found, but he said nothing of the kingdom. Then Saul called the l>eople to Mizpeh, reminded them of the Lord's deliverance from Egypt and all enemies and of their rejection of God in demanding a king and then (proceeded to have them elect a king ' with God’s permission. It was. no doubt, done by lot. as the land was divided, for “the lot is cast into the lap. but the whole disposing thereof is of the Lord” (Num. xxvi. 55. 5(5; Prov. xvi, 33). First the -tribe was found and then the family and then the man (chapter x, 20, 21; compare Josh. vii. IG-1S). and thus they were guided to the man whom He had already chosen and anointed. Although elected, he could not for a time lie found, so they inquired of the Lord, and He told them where to And him. Whether it be a person or a thing that cannot be found. He'that is perfect in knowledge knows where to find the lost (Job xxxvi, 4). the people looked upon the Ban whom God z nad chosen they could from shouting, “God save or, as in the margin. “Let ■kg live!” (x. 23-25.) The band of ■Lose hearts God had touched to him, so that he was as a deaf man to his eneBk 27). •Our lesson chapter by the Spirit, of the deli ver Israel and to obof the people. I ~ scafr-vly a day in the Cod when there is ■k say. "Now. the serBkw he is ever going BL. Nabash, whose ■ B ;■ £»■ Bk --t?' ' J ~ a, s < ■ ■ ’ ■k aw! word wws BWI that they would morrow. That night or in the early morning (verse ID Saul came suddenly upon the Ammonites and so completely routed them that two of them were not left together (verses 4-11). The morning deliverances of the Bible are full of interest and are all suggestive of the morning that is coming, when the Lord shall finally and forever deliver Israel (Ps. xlvi, 5, margin). Compare Ps ; xlix, 14, and see Ex. xiv, 24. 27. Think also of Dan. vi. 19-23, and of the deliverance that came to the disciples in the morning watch (Mark vi, 48). But, while believers may well rejoice in the glorious morning that is coming and in Him who is to us the Morning Star (II Sam. xxiil, 5: Bev. xxil, 16), it is also written that there will be no morning for such as do not believe God (Isa. viii, 20; margin and revised version). When the people saw’ the great deliverance wrought by Saul they asked to have Saul’s enemies put to death, but Saul would not listen to it, saying. “There shall not a man be put to death this day. for today the Lord hath wrought salvation in Israel" (verses 12, 13). It was the same power that wrought for Israel at the Bed sea (Ex. xiv. 13, 30) and on so many occasions in all their history, and their greatest deliverance is yet to come (Zech, xiv, 3,9). Samuel then gathered the people to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the Lord, offered sacrifices, and all Israel rejoiced greatly (verses 14, 15). Thus far all seemed to be going well, but w’hen man has his way there is soon failure, for “verily, every man at his best state (apart -from God) is altogether vanity” (Ps. xxxix, 5). Chapter xii tells how Samuel rehearsed the history of the nation from their coming out of Egypt, the Lord’s dealings with them under Moses and Aaron and how many a time He delivered them in the days of the judges. He also asked them to testify as to whether during all the time that he had judged them he had ever taken anything from them or defrauded any one or taken a bribe to blind his eyes, but they called God to witness that they could find no fault in him in any of these matters (xii, 1-5). To show them that he was right before the Lord as well as in their eyes and that they had done wrong in asking for a king when the Lord Himself was their King he asked the Lord to send thunder and rain that day. and He did so. The people seemed to see their sin and asked Samuel to pray for them (xii. 6-19). Samuel assured them that, though they had done this great wrong, yet if they would truly turn to the Lord and fear Him and serve Him in truth with all their heart He would for His great name’s sake forgive them and not forsake them and he (Samuel) would not cease to pray for them.

Mrs. Bowser had a book in her ! hands. Mr. Bowser the evening paper and ihe family cat laid on the hearth , rug and purred and chuckled and de- | tided that she had a soft snap for the winter. Without, cold winds blew and snowflakes fell; within were warmth and cheer and contentment. By and I by Mr. Bowser felt the influence, and he looked up from his paper and said: | “Well, now, this is home! vybat reasonable man could ask for more than this?” “Yes; it is cozy,” answered Mrs. Bowser. “How a man can leave a fireside like this to hang out at a club is more than 1 can make out. If all men had homes like this there would be nothing but happiness in married life. Why can’t all wives be like you?” Mrs. Bow’ser took the alarm at once. Every wife knows that her husband is dangerous when too good. She started c z / W .« I 1 “1 WILL LOOK USX A BOW LEGGED MAN.” to say something about a neighbor’s child being sick, but he interrupted- her with: “Yes; 1 suppose so. but it is probably owing to the mother’s carelessness. 1 was thinking today that 1 was not half thankful enough for the blessings that surround me. Do you know that if 1 hadn’t married just the right'sort of wife 1 might have turned opt a bad, bad man?" "1 am glad and satisfied that you are happy,” she replied, "but don’t you think it dreadful the way some of the coal cart men use their poor horses? One was going past here today when”— “1- know nothing about coal cart horses.” he chipped in, “but 1 do know that I have the nicest little wife in all the world. Where would 1 be tonight but for yon and this scene of comfort and happiness? But away your book and let’s talk. 1 presume you think there are times when I don’t fully appreciate you. but even when 1 get mad and storm around 1 never lose sight of your many good qualities. And, too. you know 1 am always sorry for giving way to my temper. It is very good of you to overlook my feelings." Mrs. Bowser was in for it, and there | was no escape. She couldn’t faint i away, and she could think of no ex-! case to get out of the house. She therefore smiled and replied: "We get along as well a® most folks, j What is the news from Europe?” “Yes, you are always willing to overlook my faults,” he continued aS he reached out his foot and toyed with the cat. “and 1 want yon to know that I appreciate it to the fullest extent. Didn’t you say something about a new dress the other day?” “if 1 did 1 can wait for another month or two.” “There is no need of waiting a day. i in the morning 1 will give you SSO for a new dress. As you may need other things 1 think i’ll make it $75. Never be afraid to ask me for money. I’ve been thinking we ought to go out more. What is to prevent ns from going to the theater twice a week this winter?*’ “I should like to go at least once a week." “It shall be twice or three times, and we’ll get up card parties for the other evenings. Would you like to keep a second girl?" “Oh. no. You see. there is so little to do, and the cook has lots of time to help upstairs.” “If you want one, just say so. 1 don’t want you to think you are tied Io the bouse. And bow about new earpets and furniture?" “We don’t need any.” “Thanks to you. and I appreciate it. By George, but when 1 remember bow many rows 1 have raised over nothing at all I wonder that you haven’t been driven to get a divorce. I expect there are plenty of women who would have turned on me with the poker. Can you »ver forgive me?” Mrs. Bowser was determined to change the subject and avert .the ca-

; Mnmy; sntra Bright thought came to her. | “You took n pair of trousers to the tailor the other evening to be pressed." she said as she rose up. i “Yes; and has he sent them home?” i “They came up this afternoon and are in that bundle over there. 1 wonder if there are any buttons missing." I The package was untied, and Mr. Bowser held them up to view. He bad taken them to the tailor to have the creases renewed, and the tailor seemed to have made an excellent job of it Mr. Bowser was about to lay them aside with a nod of satisfaction when be gave a sudden start of surprise. and the smile his face bad worn I during the last half hour was replaced i by a look of sternness. r . “What is it?" she asked. j » He took one leg of the trohsers and 1 stretched it out at arm’s leufctb and squipted along the crease Bke a man looking along the edge of a board. I “You took this package in?" he asked as be finished squinting along tbe leg. “Yes.” “And you knew they were my trousers ?” I “Os course. What is wrong with them?" | “What is wrong with them?” he repeated as his neck began to grow red. “If you were the sort of a wife you ought to be you’d know what was wrong with them. You’d have known it hours ago and brougbt that tailor to book instead of assisting him in bis chicanery.’’ “But what is it?” “Can’t your own eyes tell you? Look along these creases. Do you follow a straight line or do they wabble ami crook ?" “They seem to be straight.” replied Mrs. Bowser after squinting. “But they are not. and 1 believe you have known It for hours. See there! These creases are at least three inches out of true at the bottom. And what will be the effect when 1 put the trousers on? I will look like a bow legged man. of course, and. of course, that was the plot. By thunder, woman, but things have come to apretty pass!” “Mr. Bowser, bow silly you are!” “Ah, yes; oh, yes! Because 1 don’t want to look like a man straddle of a barrel lam silly. How much did you have to pay the tailor to carry out this conspiracy with you? And when you had made me tbe laughing stock of the neighborhood what other scheme did you have to work? It would have been sweet music to your ears to hear the boys shouting. ‘Old bow legged Bowser!’ after me on the street.” “1 wish you’d be reasonable,” said Mrs. Bowser as she tossed the trousers on the lounge. “One minute you praise me and everything is all right, and the next”— “Never!” he interrupted as he kicked at the cat ”1 have never praised you and don’t mean to. There will be no theater and no card parties. A wife who'll cunspire against her husband ought to be sent to state prison. 1 take my trousers to a tailor to be creased. You sneak down after me and bribe him to squeeze the creases so that 1 will be an object of ridicule. Why don’t you poison my coffee? Why don’t you murder me in my sleep?” She passed him and went upstairs, and the cat held its breath and realized that a crisis was at hind. Mr. Bowser glared about him for a moment as he made ready to break loose, and then, with a yell, he seized the offending trousers, and with a mighty wrench he tore the back seam up and held a leg in either hand. There was nothing alive in tbe toom except tbe cat He jumped for her with a leg swinging above his head, and Mrs. Bowser heard a meow, a crash and a fall. He had struck a chair and fallen over it and plowed along the carpet with bis nose, while the cat had escaped. An appalling silence followed, and she heard a voice hoarsely whispering: “1 don’t wonder that busbands are driven to drink. 1 only wonder that they don’t become murderers as well as drunkards.” I The Artist’s Quandary.

Those at the East Entrance Worn Out and Will Bo Replaced? Weathered and worn by more than eighty years of service, the wide stone steps leading to the east entrance of the capitol at Washington are to be replaced. The wear on the steps, caused by hundreds of thousands of persons climbing them, has been so great that they have become not only un sightly, but also dangerous in their present chipped and battered condition. It is upon thia time honored flight of steps that the president takes tbe oath of office every four years. When they were set in place in 1830 the senate and house wiugs had not yet been erected and the old wooden dome was still a part of the structure. For beginning the present Improvement congress appropriated $50,000, but it is expected that at least $75,000 additional will be necessary to complete it. It is interesting to note that when the District of Columbia was originally laid out it was the belief that the ultimate growth would be to tbe southeast It was because of this that the main entrance of the capitol was made to face the east. Contrary to plans, however. the growth took an opposite direction and years ago necessitated the construction of the west entrance to the capitol. which since that time has been the one chiefly used.—Popular Mechanics. BIG LEAGUE’S BIRTHDAY. National’s Fortieth Anniversary Will Be Celebrated This Year. The fortieth anniversary of the good old National league is to be celebrated some time this year. The circuit was organized at the Broadway Central hotel in New York city in 1875. and former Governor Bulkeley of Connecticut who still is living. was its first president The present plans are to fix upon a certain date as anniversary day and have it celebrated by double headers in the four cities in which the National teams will be (Maying at the tffne. There will also (be a great gathering of veteran and modern fans in the metropolis to celebrate the day, and among will be invited to this jollification will be all of the former presidents and leading baseball men representing the leagues in organized ball in the United States and Canada. What’s that? Will there be a banquet? Os course there will; otherwise the irrepressible spellbinders would ■ worry the real fans to death with their chatter around the hotel corridors.—Ed A. Goewey in Leslie’s. Wasting Our Wealth. The United States produces about 40 per cent of the total coal output of the world, writes George H. Cushing in the Technical World Magazine. There are seventeen separate commercial products made from coal, and practically all of these are allowed in America to go up in smoke and are Imported from Europe. For example, all the aniline dyes are byproducts of coal, yet scarcely any of these are made in this country, and all our big cities “belch great vats of gorgeous colors into tbe air daily.” Creosote oil is another such product that goes to waste in smoke and is then imported. Fans at a Firs. In Boston not long ago a fire broke out in the basement of a building occupied by a wholesale paint and chem. teal concern. The fumes and smoke became so thick that it was impossible for the firemen to enter tbe basement A half dozen of the ordinary sixteen inch size electric fans were quickly requisitioned by the fire chiefs and their breeze directed down the stairway. As soon as the rear basement windows were broken to allow the escaue of the smoke and fumes the effect of the fens gradually cleared the basement, so that the firemen could work easily. Use of Roman Letters. Writing of the growing us&of Roman letters im languages which have heretofore employed other characters. H. L. Bullen says tn the Graphic Arts that “in the revolt of Albania, which preceded and brougbt on the recent war in Turkey, the Albanians demanded the right to use the Roman geometric forms of letters instead of the Turkish cursive forms.” He states also that in Japan the type foundries now make more of Roman types than the Japanese characters formerly in universal use. ■■ I Had Never Seen Salt Water. “At Coxyde." writes Arno Doscb. tbe war correspondent of the World’s Work Magazine, “a whole company of French soldiers was standing along the edge of the water, jumping back in surprise when the little waves advanced on them. They told us they were from the center of France and had 1 ver seen salt water before.”

Some Stationary Stationary printed at this office is giving the best satisfaction. Last week we printed 500 statements for a man and by their aid he col* lected a fortune. Two months ago a man bought' of us some note paper and envelopes to use when writing to his sweetheart—and now he is married. Another man forged a name on a check printed at this office—and is in jail. Another stole some of our paper with which to make cigarettes—he is dead. A young lady bought some of our papers to curl her hair on—and now she has a beau. (We only have a little of this left.) By using our statements a person can co'lect old accounts, tell fortunes, cause rain, change the color of the hair, have teeth extracted without pain, find out the name of your future wife or husband, be successful in business and get elected to office.
