On the morning when the writer and her family departed for a sum- mer of auto rambling, an intimate and lovable neighbor invited them for a farewell breakfast. As they sat con- suming innumerable griddlecakes and golden maple syrup the guest thought "of the waiting car with it§ compact : gauipment and casually remarked; Before we ledve, you must see our ear all packed for thé "This the | cook 'stove, The family camp 'y instead | small black box, consisting of. two +, and an hed cylindrical can' of gasoline, not to mention the oven which fits it, 1s an enormous comfort, although one that may be joyously dispensed with as this camp- er can testify after successfully cook- ing ®ll one summer over a gypsy fire with crane and 'pot hooks cut from the immediate thicket..

For 'a fraction of a second the enthusiast 'sas nonplused, but politeness re- strained her from boasting of the vir tupes of the pack. 'An idea of its com- fortable simplicity, however, may be gained when it is said that from the time the family gets up in the morn: ing until the car is packed--a period which includes washing, dressing, Cooking and eating a hearty break- fast, washing dishes and packing the equipment on thé car, all without un- due haste--is just two hours quisiti and- E +1 These wanderérs carry a 0x9 army officers tent, with fly, whieh was picked up secondhand at an army store for $18. Experience of more than one summer's tenting has con- vinced them that this was a wise _cholce. It hag stood firm and whole in a most violent storm when a néfgh! bor's expensive automobile tent was badly' torn. ' Among other qualities it has also the distinct advantage that during the heat of the day the sides may be clewed up. The tent, thus converted into a double awnibg;' af- fords a delightfully cool ghelter un- 'der which the camping family may sit, comfortably protected from the blazing sun. Many people carry folding camp beds, but this party of wanderers chooses to eliminate these as things of no essential comfort, and just so many objects to be cared for and oc | cupy valuable space. It is surprising how completely comfortable - the ground is after 'the second night out. For sleeping on the ground, a water- proof poncho, as protection against ground dampness, is necessary. Over this poncho should be spread an-all-, wool army blanket for warmth. Then, clad in allswool night clothes, the pil- giims may crawl into én Australian wool sleeping bag (made from the di- rections which can be found in a cir cular issued by the Appalachian Mountain Club, § Joy Street, Boston), and be sure of sleeping 12 hours. The Food Question. +" A folding camp table and collaps-, {ble 'chairs, however, are considered indispensable to camp comfort and convenience even by the writer,» who 1s, fond + 'of eliminating. A sporting goods house supplies a complete oui sine of nesting cups, porringers and plates, jncluding cooking utensils, 'marvelously housed in a remarkable small khaki suit bag. Incompatible objects in the nature of an egg beater, Jong-handled spoon and pancake turn: ve the bag eventually a strange: dy contorted contour, but primitive' tastes in such matters do not demand aesthetic lines in suit bags!

Appropriate Clothes. To say that a large part of the suc- cess of a summer's outing depends on clothes seems a ridiculous state- ment but try only a week out and test the truth of the assertion. The feminine contingent of the family {force finds that emancipation from skirts relieves her from awkwardness in 'climbing fences . and jumping brooks. Two pairs of khaki or dark gray wool knickers with one all-woo shirt and two silk ones to match the trousers are, on the whole, the most "satisfactory kind of clothes for either man or woman. Silk and woblen ma- terials are the most comfortable and, , too, the most easily lgundered in 'any friendly wayside brook by which 'one may chance to pitch one's tent, These, with raincoat, hat and -rub- (bers, provide a most comfortable out- 'fit for the summer. Flapper suits of { woolen khaki or gray flannel give small boys the maXimum amount of | comfort and adults the minimum amount of work.

The tent in a long, narrow compact roll, must be strapped down to the right-hand run- ning board by means of a pack-car: rler consisting of 2 stout trunk straps provided with clamps holding them rigidly to the running board. method of carrying a tent allows the doors to open freely. A left-hand pack carrier may hold 2 duffle bags, 4 col- lapsible camp. chairs, a milk can, a water jug, a flat gallon gasoline can and a camp stove. The remainder of the pack can ride on the rear carrier; neatly covered with a waterproof poncho. 4% When true adventurers strike camp in the morning, pack all their posses- sions on the car and roll away in search of fresh fields and pastures new, their beings are possessed by a joyous sense of freedom known only to tenting wayfarers who refuse to faston their affections upon station ary 'summer abodes, -- Christian Science Monitor. erie ene lr.

I. THE CRIME, 11:1-26. The time referred to in verse 1, "after the year was expired," or Tat the return of the year," must have been the spring time. After the cold and wet weather of the winter was rast, the army under Joab went out to war with the Ammonites, east of Jordan, and besieged: Rabbah, their capital city. bd The name of Bathsheba "is given somewhat diffeently in 1 Chron. 8:5. She is famous in the later history as the 'mother of Selomon, Uriah, her husband, was one of David's select company of thirty honorable and valiant men, named in chap. 23, ' His character/appaers in this story as that of a brave and loyal soldier, stead- fastly true to his comrades, his com- mander and his military duty.

For. the reference 'to Abinfelech, who was killed by a millstone thrown upon his head from a city wall, see Ju , chap. 9. - The comment significant -- "But "the thing that David had done displeased the Lord." Compare Psalm 51:4. II. THE REBUKE, 1211-14," The Lord sent Nathan to David. ot cnee only but many times did the Lord send a prophet to rebuke a king for wrong-doing. See 1 Sam, 13:13, 14; 15:16:31; 1 Kings 21:17:29. Na- than tells the king the story, which is in reality a parable, of the poor man and his one owe lamb. David, sup- sirg the story to be literally true, es very angry and declares that the man that hath done this thing shall surely die. The answer of Na- than is swift and fearless, "Thou art tha man." God had done great things for David, or which the p re- minds kim. The reference to his mas- tes wives does not imply that he had actually taken any of Saul's wives in marriage, but only that as king and as Saul's successor he had the right to do according to the custom of the tine. Nathan does not spare David in his indictment. "Thou hast killed the children of Ammon." He the murderer, of his crime is that the swerd shall never depart from his house. The word of the prophet was fulfilled in the murder of -Amnon (13:28), the rebellion and death of 'Absalom (18: 14), 'and the execution of jah (1 Kings 2:25). 9 3 David's repentance under the scath- ing denunciation of his friend and 1 was doubtedly sincere, alone She--It makes me wild at." ; LE "IA broken to be glared |, it wins Nathan's assurance of God' forgiving grace, "Tha Lord also hath put away thy sin."
