This can be easily explain- th ed. We have been getting around; nine and ten dollars each Sunday} evening this year. We have missed , evening collections, one the first night of our open air con- . and one on July 3rd. On July we received $16.40, also an = Ma dog tag (the donor can ha same returned if he has not arecss) shot the dog to save expenses). Last | ao July 17th, we rec- Ww e had some fifty or) eixty Pi maeg on the grounds as well as some fifty persons standing and seated on the benches. This is the t collection yet. We have been receiving our usual uodta of washers, buttons and slugs and if the donators of these will call at Mr. Seaman's house at any time exter five o'clock in the evening they: n have same returned to them as over a- gain.

He wanted to know what the collectione were for, and I told him that. I also told him what y amounted to and he said, a concert like he had listened to was worth a quarter of any man’s mon- ey. He also made a donation of ten dollars to help defray the expenses to Toronto. He realized the adver- tisement it meant to the town It is pretty hard for the members f the band to get down to take up ; the collections each ‘Sunday for thie reason, we hold up the concert untfl the collection is taken up, and as soon ‘as some of the courte in the ;cars see the members of the band coming with the baskets, they can- not get away fast enough, therefore we lose what collection we would probably get from them. I would suggest that if some four men would offer theM™® services to the band to take up this collection each concert night, it would work out better. We have tried it-and it. works. I say ae because the people will not turn wn a man with a collection box as vancite as they do a boy and it only takes some ten minutes for four men to go to all the cars on the tot. If some four would volunteer this. it would be greatly appreciated by the band. * Trusting this letter will let “Mr. Washer, Slug, Dog Tag and Button donator see what we are up against and that they will mend their-ways: m, yours truly, Bandsman.

Samuel 17. Golden Text. The Lord is the strength of my hfe, of whom shalf be afraid? (Psa. 27:1), 6 Continually we find sphitual truth et forth in the historical evente of the Old Testament, Of the experi- ences of the ~ Ieraelites we read: “Now all these things happened un- to them for ensamples;“and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world (ages) are come” (FE IT). The Philinstines were always the enemies of people they rep- resent the pow Their great and toreitying taaiter. Goliath, a giant in ‘size, strength and influ- ence, is a type of the head of powers of evil, or Satan, who defies God and His Christ. And one of the Old “Testament types of Christ. the Shepherd-King. In the incident, David is the only one who can deliver people from the gigantic that eanfronts them,.even as Christ is the erly one who can deliver God's peo- ple spiritually. We read that, during the forty days when Goliath wae defying the armies of Israel, he kept saying: “Gite me a man, that we may fight together.”’ Instead, — gave _ a boy—and God! Sata can safely defy any man; a child—and G We must got — that David was the Lord’e anointed, as we saw last week. God had long ago chosen him; he was in the family line. from which Christ in His earthly life was, to come; and the young Hebrew boy must have beer well-trained in the Scriptures, a God-fearing lad of prayer and faith. All eat he says! about Goliath's defianc of people shows this. “Who is this un- circumcized Philistine, that —_ defy the armies of the living “The a is helpless before ; cor te the paw of the lion, and out liver me out of the hand of this Phil- istine,"’ 60 spoke the young herd. That was real faith. With the parhianion of Saul, King whose days were numbered, David goes against the giant. worldly King, Saul, tried to fit him out with his own armor, but wouldn't work. It isan ill-fit indeed when a child of God tries to use the armor and weapons -of the world; they will fail him both for defense and offense. “And David put them off him.”’ “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through!
