simpsie quips the kid next to me again no neon lights the fellows all laugh especially this quiet guy in the corner who roars fit to kill but im still bum ing so i think of barbsie again and ruppentlost outward appearance by which man judges is almost always de ceptive god knows the heart and is able to evaluate a man correctly jn calling david the ruddy shepherd boy to be king god cut across the jdeas of men but he was as al ways right i a man from gods storehouse v 1 i have provided gods great storehouses are full of blessings material and splriw ual but he also has a great and constantly replenished reserve of men and women from which he calls and sends them forth the thing we must guard against is the setting of hindrances in his holy way either in pur own lives or in the lives of others a man power shortage is very serious for it simply cuts off the stream of production without which action becomes impossible there should never be any shortage of man power in the lord s work and there would never be any if all his creation were willingly subject to god was ready to set aside saul and he had david ready samuel the prophet was still grieving over sauls failure in a sense that feel ing for saul was most commend able but it could not go on when men even of our own farm lies or circle of friends persist in rebellion against the lord we must not let our grief hold us back but move on with the man of gods choice ft ii a han who had to be sought w 25 send and fetch him usually those who are quick to offer themselves for an important place are not the ones for the place and those who are sitting around doing nothing but waiting for some honor to come to them are not the ones to choose let the office seek the man is the highst ground even in politics surely it must be the proper proce dure in spiritual activity david might well have wanted to be at the place of sacrifice and the feast that day but since all his family were there and someone had to care for the sheep he did it a man like that hard at his work is well worth seeking when some thing important needs to be done the interesting story of samuel s effort to find one among jesse s seven sons vv 610 is well worth reading samuel still had the idea that a king must be prepossessing and able to thrill men byhls ap pearance he should have learned better from his experience with saul god put him right v 7 and we do weq te renew avr thinking on that point the world is in a place where many leaders must be chosen in the months and years just ahead wtq we be eager and willing to have god lead us in our choice or will we be swayed by personal interests or political expe diency iii a han of spirituality w ii 13 the spirit of the lord came upon david the holy spirit ever active in all periods of bible history became the abiding presence in the be lievers heart after pentecost but during the old testament period he came on chosen individuals for a particular work as david was anointed king the spirit came upon him for that service in spite of his fallings when he forgot the lord david was throughout his reign a spiritually minded man who wanted god s will and his glory to be to pay x0 cents bag for milkweed pods wanted fob armed forces on vacant lots on farms and along roadsides in western ontario there are available about 200 000000 milkweed rods for which the agricultural sup plies

the southern peninsula of ontario notably essex kent lamftv- ton elgin and norfolk have abundant stands growing naturally the region between lake slmcoe and georgian buy including all of slmcoe county and adjoining areas could produce 75 000 bags of pods alone if all are picked not only in uie country but even near the cities there are plenty of pods for children and townspeople to gather many of

between new toronto and dunbarton alone only a little effort and willing ness to help is required to harvest the pods they should not be picked until some of the seeds inside the pod are brown but
