SUNDAY SCHOOL. I • » Lesson VII. — Second Quarter, For May 16, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, I Sam. xxvi, 5-16, Memory Verses, 11, 12—Golden Text, Luke vi, 27—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The lesson today is a record of one of the occasions on which David had Saul completely at his mercy, but he refused to lay hands upon him or to listen to the suggestion of Abishai that David would permit him to smite Saul, for he said, “As the Lord liveth, the Lord shall smite him. or his day shall come to die, or he shall descend into battle and perish’’ (verses 9, 10). Thus David left the matter wholly in the hands of the Lord, illustrating his own words, “Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him, and He shall bring it to pass” (Ps. xxxvil, 5). I Sam. xxxi tells how his end came. On this occasion David took the spear and the cruse of water from Saul's bolster that he might show him how he had him in his power, but did not harm him. David was able to do this without any one knowing it because a deep sleep from the Lord was fallen upon Saul and his men (verses 11, 12). Compare Gen. it 21; xv, 12, and consider Peter’s release from prison, though he was bound with chains between two soldiers, and there was a guard at the door of the prison (Acts xii, 6-10, 18, 19). Truly the God of Israel is the God that doest wonders (Ps. Ixxli, 18; Ixxvll, 14). David, with his trophies, stood on the top of a hill afar off and cried to Abner that, though he was a valiant man, he was worthy to die because he had failed to take care of the king, and he told him to look for the king’s spear and cruse of water that had been by his bolster (verses 13-16). Saul knew David’s voice and professed to be very grateful to him for sparing his life, asking him to return to him, and saying that he would no more seek to do him harm, but David knew his enemy too well, and after telling him to send for his spear, they again parted, each going his own way (verses 17-25). This was not the first time that David had Saul hi his. power, but refused to harm him. See in chapter xxiv how he cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe and how Saul then professed penitence and good will and spoke of David’s being king some day. Thus Saul sought him every day, but God delivered him not into his hand (xxiii, 14). In the end of chapter xxiii there Is the record of an incident that looked like a close call for David, but Saul was suddenly called off and David escaped. All through the story we eau hear David saying: “The Lord is the strength of my life. Os whom shall I be afraid?’’ (Ps. xxvll, 1-3.) The cave of Adullam story in chapter kxii is full of interest, beginning with his seeking a place of safety for his father and his mother till he could know what God would do for him and ending with his words of comfort to Abiathar: “Abide thou with me. Fear not, for he that seeketh my life seeketb thy life, but with me thou shalt be in safeguard.” Chapter xxv tells of the death and burial of Samuel and then the story of drunken Nabal and his beautiful wife Abigail—beautiful in wise counsel to David and in her conduct toward him. Some of her memorable words are ever with me: “Bound in the bundle of life with the Lord thy God” (xxv, 29), a bundle which cannot be broken, for those to whom He gives eternal life can never perish (John x, 28). Chapters xxvii, xxix, xxx, tell the story of Zlklag, which Achish gave to David, but to which David returned on one occasion to find the town in ruins and the wives, sons and daughters of himself and his 600 followers all gone into captivity. That was one of the most trying times in all David’s experience, and they all wept until they had no more power to weep. The grief of David, almost beyond endurance, was heaped up by the threat of his 600 followers to stone him, as if he i was the cause of all this, so that David seemed, as far as human sympathy was concerned, to be absolutely alone. Then we read the words which have 'helped so many, “David encouraged Ihimself in the Lord his God” (xxx, 6). A somewhat similar incident in the life of Paul is recorded in II Tim. iv, |l(£-18. The way that David found the enemy, the Amalekltes, through the guidance of an almost dead Egyptian servant, whom he restored to life, and how he recovered all—wives, sons, daughters, spoil, nothing lacking to any, and much additional spoil—is a very thrilling record and should encourage us all to wait on the Lord and not to think anything too hard for Him. There were 200 of David’s men too weak to join in the pursuit of the enemy, but they, too, shared in the spoils of victory, and David made it a law that those who tarry by the stuff shall share equally with those who go forth to battle (xxx, 10, 24). Let all homekeepers be encouraged. The sin of Saul in the matter of familiar spirits and the witch of Endor is recorded in chapter xxviii. This is a prevailing sin of many today. It is wholly of the 'devil and is strictly forbidden in Deut xviii, 9-12. It is not all trickery, but lofttimes some real work of the adver!gary. The living, those who are truly Isaved, should seek only the living God land His life giving word. All else is 'from the devil, and it will be a night |of awful darkness forever for all who turn away from the Word of God. “No morning for them” (Isa. viii, 19, 20: margin and R. V.). Attention Boys! All boys between the ages of twelve and eighteen who wish to form a military company to participate in the Decioration Day Exercises meet at Library at 7:30, on Thursday evening, May 13. Dari Wood

INDIANA’S PRISON FARM IS NOW READY. New Penal Institution Will Receive Prisoners Under Short Sentence. x Gov. Ralston has issued a proclamation in which he proclaimed i the new state penal farm near Put- | namville open for the reception of I short term prisoners from Indiana 'counties. The formal opening of itl.is new state institution marks a : farthest step of Indiana along the ‘path of progressive treatment of ; criminals. The capacity of the farm with 'its present facilities is a question that cannot be answered just now. For many months a force of convicts, “trusties” in the state pris- , on at Michigan City and the state I reformatory at Jeffersonville, has i been employed in constructing cheap but durable buildings on the penal farm that it might be ready for the reception of prisoners as soon as possible and at the lowest possible cost. Chas. E. Talkington of Columbus was named superintendent of the institution several months ago by the -board of trustees. i The farm is intended to harbor prisoners sentenced for short terms from Indiana courts. The problem of employment for this class of i prisoners long has been one that .has taken the best thinking of stui dents of prison problems. The I farm idea has taken root throughlout this country and Canada and the Indiana farm is an exemplification of the new idea. There will be no wall around the farm. Prisoners will be guar led in a new fashion, and the old regime of prison surveillance will be lacking. If prisoners escape they are amendable, when captured, to a long term in the state prison, the last legislature having passed a law providing for such a penalty for an escaped prisoner. Hereafter, if plans for a farm’ work out as they have been laid, the jails of Indiana will be farmore free of the short term prisoners who eat up the county funds, do their families no good and do not benefit themselves, " during their incarceration. The resources of the new penal farm in an agriculture and manui'acturing way are all that can be desired. Limestone of good quality for building or pulverizing purposes, exists in bounteous quantity on the 1500 acres purchased by the’ state for apprqximately $57,000 down neai* Limedale and Putnamville. The agriculture resources of the place are reported as the very best. Here the unfortunates of Indiana, who formerly have deposed in county jails, will hereafter turn their formerly idle hands to real work —here it is hoped they will become producing integral parts of society, instead of the drags of former years. The moral, physical and mental benefits that they will receive will more than compensate the state for its big expenditure for the farm, is confidently predicted. New Hotel Completed Stony Ridge Hotel, at Cripplegate, Tippecanoe lake, has been completely remodeled and enlarged. The hotel now contains 32 sleeping rooms. BANK STATEMENT Number 305 S.

Queer Quirks of News Oneonta, N. Y.—An Oneonta girl who was being treated for consumption coughed up a sprouted orange seed the other day, and is rapidly getting well. New York.—ln reports of a real estate sale on Fifth avenue, a valuable lot was st 11 for $450,000, which is at the rate of $5,500,000 for an acre. In 1833 William Astor bought the farm of which this lot is a part at $3,000 an acre. Cleveland, o.—That he slept in a chair in the kitchen for two years because his wife talked in her sleep was Angelinio Valentino’s answer and cross petition to his wife’s suit for divorce. “My wife took medicine that kept her awake and she made funny noises,” said Valentio. Ft. Dodge, la.—Things are not always what they seem. Des Moines, for an instance, is dry, but a Fort Dodge man who attended the autoshow there, says that feeling thirsty one afternoon,’ he stopped a passerby and said: “Can you tell me where I can get a pint of whisky?” The man immediately offered to get it himself, and said it would cost 75 cents. He told the Ft. Dodge man to hold a package for him until he came back. The package was small and compact and the Ft. Dodge man stood on the corner for an hour holding it. But the obliging stranger did not turn up and the package was kept in exchange for the money. The Fort Dodge man took it to his room and opened it. It was a flask containing a pint of whisky. Elwood, Ind.—E. E. McGraw, a wealthy bachelor, answering an early ring at his door bell, found a basket on his front porch witn a card on top reading: “Please care for the child that I am too poor and unworthy to care for it longer.—A Borken Hearted Mother.” A plaintive wall—it sonded so to McGraw —came from the basket. The bachelor nervously pulled off the covers and found a downy chick, about three days old, and an Easter card. Salem, Oregon—Miss Marian Sheldon, of The Dalles, need not take her husband’s name if she decides to marry, is the opinion of the attorney general given today in response to the questioh of the perplexed woman, asking if there was any law against a woman retaining her maiden name after marrige. John Day, Ore.—Juvenile wrath grew hot when Priucipaal E. S. Stutz of the John Day grammar school ruled that “m-u-l-I e-i-n” is the correct spelling. It came out at a recent orthographical contest. Next day the adherants of “mullen” waylaid Stutz, bombarded him with eggs and drove him back to his boarding house. Parental apologies followed as many spankiugs and Professor Stutz has agreed to referee another spelling bee.
