Being sent for, Saul loved him greatly and made him his armor bearer. How strange it all seems! God moves in a mysterious way. What a wonderful chapter! How can we refrain from saying. “Lord. take control of me and all my affairs and work out in and through me all thy good pleasure.” It would seem that Jesse was an old man at this time, and his family consisted of eight sons 'and two daughters (xvii. 12; I Chron. ii. 16), but David‘s moth- er's name is not given.

There is nothing to it, for they did not hear the Lord say to Sam- uel, “Arise, anoint him, for this is he” , (verses 12, 13). The comfort I get from l it is that the Lord looketh on the i heart, not on the outward appearance, i and when he wants you for any work i He will find you and get you there in ' spite of all obstacles. It is ours to keep ’ quietly on minding our sheep, like Dao, l vid or Moses; thrashing our wheat. I like Gideon; plowing, like Elisha: doing : housework, like Mary of Nazareth: ' mending nets, like Peter and John, or ! whatever else is our regular occupa~ tion. The Spirit of the Lord came upon ' David. but departed from Saul because I of Saul's failure to obey (13, 14). God allows us to choose, and if we ehoose l the evil and not the good we have no i one to blame but ourselves. I am interested to know how David felt that day when left at home and all the other brothers went to meet Samuel, for, knowing what we do of David, we can easily imagine that he would be more desirous to meet Sam- uel than any of his brothers would. even though there might be nothing especially for him in it. Some day in the kingdom we may talk with him about that particular day. I never read or write this story or think about it that I do not rejoice to see the Lord's way in it. The young man left at home because he was seemingly of no account on this great occasion. and then all the older brothers set aside and compelled to wait till he came. and then to see Samuel take the horn of oil and anoint him in the midst of his brethren. But Samuel had an objection, “If Saul hear it he will kill me.” The Lord quieted him, and matters pro- ceeded, and Samuel did that which the Lord spake and came to Bethlehem to meet Jesse and his sons (verses 4, 5). The elders of the town seemed to re- gard Samuel almost as God Himself or they must have had very guilty con- sciences. for they trembled at his com- ing until assured that he came peace- ably. Those who are walking with God need have no fear of a visit from a man of God nor of the coming of the Lord Himself, for it is possible so to abide that we shall not be ashamed before Him at His coming (1 John ii. 28). Having called Jesse and his sons, Samuel thought that he saw in Eliab a fit successor to Saul, but the Lord told him not to look on his outward appear- ance (verses 6. 7). When we consider Eliab's contemptuous and uncalled for treatment of David a little later (xvii, 28) we do not wonder that the Lord refused him. for He knew what was in man (John ii, 25). Seven of Jesse‘s sons passed before Samuel, all who had come to meet him, but the Lord‘s choice was not among them. so that Samuel had to ask, “Are here all thy children?” Then he learned that the youngest had been left at home to keep the sheep, and Samuel said, “Send and fetch him, for we will not sit down till he come hither" (verses 8-11). because we are certain that “As for God. His way is perfect" (Matt. xi, 26; Rev. xv, 3; Ps. viii. 30), we have en- tered upon a restful life. Then its continuance depends upon “our living in the pertect will of God moment by moment. Note the messages to Sam- uel in verses 1-3: “I will send thee to Jesse. i have provided me a king. 1 will show thee what thou shalt do. Anolnt unto Me him whom 1 name unto thee." This left nothing for Sam- uel but simple obedience to Him who was managing. Text of the Lesson, I Sam. xvi, 4-13. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Lesson ll.-â€"Second Quarter, For April '11, 1915. SUNDAY SGHflflL Dr. Jacques, the new member of the Ontario Legislature for Haldi- mand, is the first Conservative mem- ber from Haldimand ever to sit in the House, In days gone by a Con- servative had been elected, but grim death gathered him in before he 'had a chance to take his seat.‘ In order to facilitate the handling of mail for Canadian soldiers at the front and to insure prompt delivery, it is requested by the postal authori- ties that all mail be addressed as follows: Rank. Name. Regimental number. Company, Squadron, Battery, or other unit. Battalion. Brigade. ‘ First (or Second) Canadian Con- tingent. British Expeditionary Force. Army Postoffice, London, England. They were not long to enjoy their privilege in England, for in 1540 E King Henry VIII. decreed the aboli- tion of all religious orders and monas- ' teries. The Order of St. John shared " their fate, to be restored again when : Philip and Mary came to the throne. 3 Again the Order was dissolved by j Queen Elizabeth. Then, in the year- 1827, came a great demand for the re- , rival of the Order~commencing in. France, let it be notedâ€"and King George IV. became interested, and ap- pointed a Grand Prior of the Order, ' and since that date it has gone stead- ily on, and its ambulance department to-day is one of the greatest humani- tarian movements of the age. Having been so recently elevated from his majority, it is no wonder that there is surprise and heartiest congratulations at the news of the authority to wear another star with his former designation of rank. Only a few weeks ago, Lieut.-Col. Shannon, who is acting commanding oflicer ot the first division, was pro- moted from the rank of major. And now he has been made a full colonel in his own division by the depart- ment at Ottawa. This is an ancient Order, which owes its origin to the year 1050. when a few wealthy merchants obtained sanction to found a hospital within the walls of Jerusalem, the object be- ing to succour the poor sick pilgrims who made their pilgrimage to the Holy City. Many hospitals were founded by the Order, and after the Holy Wars we find them established at Malta in 1575, which hospital still stands. Eventually, the banner of the Order was planted in England at Clerkenwcllâ€"at that time a small village near Londonâ€"where the Or- der Still has its headquarters at St. John’s Gate. ' Lieut.-Col. L. W. Shannon, of Lon- don, Ont., is receiving congratula- tions from his friends upon another promotion which came to him as a great surprise recently. Every large town in Canada new has its corps of St. John Ambulance men for service in the military and naval hospitals. The real estater made haste to get the money, and the amount of $2,500 is now safely invested to the credit of the young woman. â€"- Saturday Night. “I’ll give you thirty days to get it, and at the end of that time if the money is not in my hands I will get out a warrant for the arrest of you and your partner on the charge of conspiracy to defraud,” declared the guardian. "I haven‘t got the money,” replied the uncomfortable party of the second part. “You have taken advantage of the ignorance of this girl to sell her real estate in the West that isn’ t worth a dollar. She has given you $2,500. I don’ t want to talk about this case at all. I am her guardian, and I want that $2 ,500 back again. " It may be surmised that the real estater was scared pink. At any rate, over to the office he w,ent where he was handled without gloves. “You’ll either come or I’ll send a policeman for you with a warrant, and that mighty quick.” declared the legal man, with sufficient em- phasis; “and when you get up here I can promise you I'll talk to you more to the point than I am now doing.” The legal man promptly went to the telephone, called up one of the partners who had put through the deal. and spoke to him in this wise: “You procured Miss So-and-So to buy lots in a certain subdivision. for which she paid you the sum of $2,500. This is Thomas Caveat speaking. I “I don’t want you to speak to me that way over the telephone. I have no intention of coming to your 01’- fice," said the other. __â€"_â€"â€" â€" am her lawyer, and mi “gix'ardiact'nv. I want you to come up here to my office right away." The lawyer in question is guardian to a young woman in Ontario, who has the support of a blind brother on her hands, He acts as guardian on the request made by the young woman’s father, who has been dead for some years. She was inveigled into hand- ing over the sum of $2,500 cash for so-called town lots someWhere in the region of a Canadian city. Certain circumstances in the deal aroused her apprehension, and she finally went to the lawyer and explained the whole matter to him. One Way to Deal With the “Wildcat? Real Estate Man. A story which is being told with great relish by investors in Ontario will interest those who have PM money into a realty deal which, to say the least, is not as profitable as represented. It shows what can be accomplished by a determined cham- pion, who has-the law at his finger ends, and who is righteously indig- nant into the bargain. First Conservative Member.

Ypres. once proved literally too thorny a problem for English besieg- ers. When Henry Spencer, bishop of lNorwich, led his troops against it they ; tried in vain again and again to pierce ithe mass of thorn bushes that lined the exterior slopes of the ramparts; hence the image of Notre Dame-de-Thnlne, :“Our Lady of the Garden," in the Cathedral of St. Martin at Ypres and 'also the fair of Thuindag. fixed for ,the first Sunday in August in honor at the thorn hedge that saved the city.- I'London Opinion. ! Fifteenth Century Artists. ! Artists in ltaly in the fifteenth cen- ,tury were little better 06' than small 'shopkeepers. This is shown by the do“ ries they usually gave their daugh- ',ters which va1ied from $1,040 to $2,- i080, and it is PELXIL‘d as an extraordi- nary instance that Andrea Mantegna gaxe his daughter $2,000 at the time for her maniage, w icb was about the close of the fifteenth century. Michel- §angeio, Raphael and Titian were the only painters of the fifteenth century gwho succeeded in attaining a position :of ease. Michelangelo at his death left about $48..000 besides some real estate. to his nephew. Leonardo. Raphael’s property was estimated to be worth $135000. while Darer was worth at the time of his death only $31,650. In those days, however, pensions were frequently given to artists by sover- . eigns and cities. 0 Boys In Spain. .In Spain boys under sixteen are not allowed to lift or carry more than six- teen pounds or push or draw heavy loads. . .
