' Although chapter xix or a part of it i is our lesson chapter, we must look at ‘ xviii for the connection. The first four ‘ verses of chapter xviii are thrillingly beautiful in their assurance and mani- : festation of the love of 'Jonathan and ? David, but we shall come to that topic ; in our next lesson.‘ After David's vic- ; tory over Goliath Saul set him over , the men of war, and he was accepted ; in the sight of all the people, and the j women sang his praises, magnifying him much more than Saul (xviii, 5-7). : This made Saul angry and jealous, and twice he tried to kill David with a - javelin, but each time David escaped ‘ (xvili, 8-11). While God may allow His I saints to be sorely tried, persecuted 3 and even slain, no real evil can befall f them, for in the resurrection they shall a be as manifestly without injury as I were Daniel’s friends when they came ; out of the furnace or Daniel himself g when he came out of the lion's den. SUNDAY 88H00l.‘ Text of the Lesson, l Sam. xix, 1-12. Memory Verses, 4, 5â€"Golden Text. Prov. xxix, Monumental-y 'Preo pared by Rev. D. M. Steal-us. The work of the devil is not a pleas~ on; meditation, but it is necessary that we should know our great adversary so as to successfully resist him. The topic of the lesson today is Saul trying to kill David, and fiver since Cain killed Abel the devil has been very busy killing people. He is spoken of in Heb. ii, 14, as having the power or death; but, although he has been per- mitted to follow his occupation so long, the time will come. when he shall be sent to the lake of fire forever and there shall be no more death on this earth (Rev. xx, 10; xi, 4; I Cor. xv, 26). Meantime it is the believer’s privo liege to be delivered from fear” or death and from all bondage in connec- tion therewith (Matt. x, 28; Heb. il, 15). All envy and jealousy and strife are also of the devil and should not be tolerated in a believer (Jas. iii, 14.16; Eph. iv, 30, 31). Because the Lord was manifestly with David and he behaved himselt wisely (or prospered, xviii, 5, 14, mar- gin) Saul became afraid of him. re- moved him from being head of the army and made him captain over a thousand. But all Israel and Judah loved David (xviii, 12-16). The rest. of chapter xviii tells how Saul Sought to get rid of him by subtlety; but, fail- ing in that scheme, he became David's continual enemy. Chapter xix opens with a command to Jonathan and to all the servants that they should kill Da- vid, but Jonathan advised him to hide a little while until he could talk with his father. The result of this inter- view was that Saul swore to J onathau that David should not be slain, so Jon- athan brought him back, and he was in Saul‘s presence as in times past (xix, 1-7). So far so good, but a man liable to give way to an evil Spirit at any moment cannot be trusted. IIow sadly suggestive the opening words of verse 8, "And there was war again!" So it has been. and so it shall be until the devil is removed from the earth and the air, and the whole age in which we are now living is described by our Lord as a time of wars and ru- mors of wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes (Matt. xxiv, (3, 7), but the time will come xx hen the nations shall learn war no more, for He who alone is able to do it will make wars to cease unto the end of the earth. In the war with the Philistines Da- vid was victorious again and slew them with a great slaughter, and the Lord wrought another great: salvation for allisrael (verses 5, 8). But there was war again in Saul‘s heart‘and home, for the evil spirit was yielded to, envy and anger had control, and the javelin almost did its deadly work with David (verses 0, 10). Again the Lord was his shieid and deliverer. and the weapon did not: prosper (Isa. liv, 17). As some one has said, the devil is very persistent, and so David had not much peace. Now he seeks to kill David in his own house. and his wife, Michal. proves to be his human deliverer, helping him to make his es. cape through a window and putting an image in his bed, for when she said to the messengers that he was sick Saul then sent to bring him on his bed. Saul was so angry when he found how his daughter had deceived him that he spake of killing her (verses 11-17). ' There is great comfort also in Isa. llv, 17, “No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper. and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn.” See also Isa. l, 7, 10, and 11, 12. 13, with Heb. ll, 14, 15; I John m, 8. What fearful control of Saul the dev- il did obtain! And it. is so still that it the Spirit of God. is resisted the ad- versary comes in with great power. If people will not receive 'the truth God allows them to receive a lie (II Thess. ii, 10-12). David, seeing himself so persistently persecuted, fled to his friend Samuel at his home in .Ramah. and they both went and dwelt in Nai- oth. Three times Saul sent to take him there, but. each time the Spirit of God hindered and even took hold of Saul himself as he went after ’him (verses 18-24). We have a right to sing from the heart: “If God be for us who can be against us?” “.The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my me. Of whom shall I be afraid?” (Rom. viii, 31; Ps. xxvii, 1.) " f Serious attacks of milk fever do have in tendency to decrease the mill; flow gimmediatelv and throughout the period ‘follov In" The milk flow, however. is not apparently affected as is the per- centage of fat. There is little doubt that folloxxing a serious attack of mill: lfever cows test very much lower than when they come into their milk with- out this handicap. . Even with these precautions it is best to watch the cow very closely for the first forty-eight hours after freshen- ing. and when first signs of milk fever appear have the air treatment applied ‘at once. This prevents the danger of :a serious attack, in which instance the flow of milk for the milking period will not be decreased. Precautions That Tend to Ward Ofl Attacks of This Malady. - . There is no method which will. cer- tainly preyent milk fever where large producing. rich testing cows freshen in a plethorlc condition, writes B. G. Van Pelt in Kimball’s Dairy Farmer. The most advisable precautions to take are as follows: Just before the cow freshens dreuch her ' with one pound of epsom salts dissolved in a quart of water. This must he care fully done that the process does not strangle the cow. As a further. we caution do not milk her for the first fortreight hours after freshening. especially if the cow has been .afllicted previously. If it becomes necessary to relieve the udder pressure take away a small amount of milk from each quarter. Care of the Churn. It is almost impossible properly to cleanse anything used in handling milk if not first rinsed or plunged into cold water. After rinsing in cold water scrub with a brush and warm water in which some salsoda has been dis- solved. then scald with boiling water or steam. Dry in the open air. Never close a wet churn; leave the lid 011‘. True Dairy Economy. It Is Impossible for the farmer to raise the entire dairy ration on his farm. but the man who raises the largest part or it is usually the one Who gets the best returns, For a week prior to freshening feed the cow very lightly. Give her succu- lent food. such as silage or roots. and give her access to hay. The remain- der of her ration should consist oi mashes only. Twice daily she should be given a feed of two or three pounds of bran and one pound of linseed meal together with a small handful of salt mixed with lukewarm water to a slap py consistency. After freshening give How an Iowa Farmer Made His Dairy Herd Profitabie. Our edw miiking farmers can learn a lesson from Peder l’edersen or“ Mack Hawk county. 1a.. says the Kansas Farmer. He joined the Benson Cow Testing association in 1911, discover- ed cows in his herd which were not paying for their board and wooded them out and in three years increased the profits of his herd three times. During the first year l’edersen dis- covered that his herd averaged 5,665 pounds of milk, or 207.7 pounds of but- ter fat, while the net profit per ani- mal'over cost of feed was only $22.12. The best cow made an income of $54122. meaning that the poorest prob. ably lost money. In the second year, 1012, the aver- age net income increased to $53.96. That gain was accomplished by weed- ing out 40 per cent of the old cows and putting new cows; bred from a pure bred sire. into their places and by the purchase of a cow and a heifer. In 1913 the average mill: production went up to 9,697.5 pounds and the but- ter fat average to 341.9 pounds. The average net income went to $75. more than three times what it'was in 1911. Those results were due to the weed- ing out of 30 per cent of the previous year's herd and replacingthe poor ani- mals with better of home breeding. _ It is also well to give the cow exer- cise before ,freshening. her a pail or water occasionally with a pound or two or bran with a handful of oil meal stirred in it or left floatlng on top of the water. One of the chief preventives of milk fever is to have the bowels loose. MILK FEVER PREVENTION. VALUE OF COW TESTING.
