He ever looked onward to the Christ who would sit upon His throne and rule righteous. .y and to the morning when He would come for Israel’s redemption. In the last words of David in II. Sam. xxiii. 1-5. he was filled with thoughts of all that God had done for him in taking him from his flocks to be king over ls- rael. and how all that he had written had been given to him by the Holy Spirit. He was conscious of his fail- No throne on earth was ever called the throne of the Lord except the throne at Jerusalem. and we are fast approaching the time when Jerusalem shall again be the throne of the Lord and all nations shall be gathered unto it. to the name of the Lord. to Jerusa- lem (Jer. iii. 17). The Lord had told Davia before Solomon was born that he should be his successor and sit on his throne (1 Chron. xxii. 7-9). and 50 it came to pass. for in some w ay or other every purpose of the Lord shall be performed (.ler . li, 2.)). l have in mind always in this connection Ps. xxxiii, 10. 11; lsa. xiv, 24. and find great rest in such assurances. It the affections of all true believers were as fully set upon the building of the church and the bringing back of the king to set up His kingdom and we were as ready to prcpare with all our might. as was David. for the temple (1 Chron. xxix. 2. 31. how the mission treasuries would overflow with funds to help give the gospel to every crea- ture. and what a great company would be heard saving. . “Here am I; send me!" (Isa. Vi. 8.) “’8 need to remem- her that God tries the heart and has pleasure in uprightness and that in His hand are power and might and that all things come of Him (1 Chron. mix. 12, 14. 17). But let us notice before looking at this lesson that Moriah and the thresh- ing tloor ot‘ Araunah or Ornan. the same hill. are strongly suggestive of the great atonement of the Lord Jesus. so that the foundation of the temple was really the atonement. So also in the tabernacle of Moses every board : stood on the silver which was paid as . a ransom for their souls.

This stirred Nathan the prophet. and he and Bathsheba. the mother of Solomon. appealed to David. with the result that Solomon was caus- ed to ride upon King David's male and was anointed king instead of his fa- ther. This caused great rejoicing. so that the earth rent with sound thereof , and David himself said, “Blessed be the Lord God of Israel. who hath giv. ,‘ en one to sit on my throne this day, mine eyes even seeing it” (verses 38. 40. ‘ 48). “Then Solomon sat on the throne ’ of the Lord as king instead of David. ’ his father. and prospered. and all Is- rael obeyed him” (1 Chron. xxix. 23). ing angel. saying. “It is enough.” and which David bought for fifty Shekels of silver and the whole place or hill for 600 Shekels of gold (11 Sam. xxiv. 16, 24; I Chron. xxi, 22-25). This bill was the identical mount Moriah on which Abraham offered up Isaac and received him back from the dead in a figure. and on this bill Solomon build- ed the temple which David desired to build. but was not permitted to, but God gave him the plans of it and al- lowed him to prepare abundantly for it. See carefully these passages. 1 Chron. xxviii, 11. 12. 19; II Chron. iii. 1. In I Kings ii. 1-4, we have some of the last words of David, with a few of his words to Solomon. but much more fully in I Chron. xxviii and xxix, with his wonderful prayer in xxix. 10-19. which we found great pleasure in mem- orizing in the Bible classes not long ago. Oh. for a lesson on some of these portions teeming with the riches of His grace and glory instead of the less rest- ful portions such as the lesson of today! To get the connection let us look at the important events since last lesson. After David‘s return to his throne there was a rebellion under a wicked man named Sheba. the son 0; Bichri. but he was overthrown and slain. and a city was saved through the influence of a wise woman who may be ranked with the wise woman of Tekoa and 'with .1301. the wife of IIeber (11 Sam. xx, 1, 16. :22). In 11 Sam. xxii we have one of David's great songs of de- liverance, which is repeated in full in Ps. xviii. In II Sam. xxiii we have some of David's last words, which we may perhaps find space to consider in connection with the record of his death in today's lesson. But there are some things which we must notice in 11 Sam. xxiv. such as the story of the threshing floor of Araunah. the Jebusite. over which the Lord stayed the hand of the destroy- Text of the Lesson, l Kings i, 28-40.

The bullpen’ is a necessity on every farm. It is unwise and injudicious to allow the bull to run at liberty with the cattle. Ducks usually lay their eggs early in the morning, and they often prefer to drop those eggs in any mud puddle about the barn lot. or as they swim in the creek. But if a house is pro- vided they will lay in their nests it kept up until 9 or 10 o’clock in the morning. Nests can be made for the layers along one of the walls by nail- ing little boards about fifteen inches apart to this wall. Theseform a sort of stall. into which you place straw. Nail a low cleat along the nest fronts. close to the floor. This prevents the eggs rolling out and does not hinder the duck stepping into her laying stall. Ducks should have a snug shelter {or nights. A swimming pond or creek is not needed. but they need a trough for splashing and washing. They consume a lot of clean water. The Colored Rouen duck is called deservedly popular throughout this country and is considered one of the most profitable varieties to keep. By some raisers the Cayuga is considered to be as good as the Peking for early markets. and the claim is made that it can be grown as cheaply. The In- dian Runner is best for egg production, but is not equal to the others for meat. The White 'Aylesbury ducks are sec- ond to the ponular Peking for market purposes and are bred in large num- bers in Europe. In this country they are not so extensively bred as the Pe- king; neither have they been found so good as the latter. Of- all ducks for farm and practical purposes none stands higher in popu~ lar esteem than the White Peking. It is valuable for raising on a large scale and is the most easily raised of all. It is a very timid bird and must be handled quite carefully. It was im- ported from China in the early seven- ties and has steadily grown in popu- larity since its introduction into this country.

Ducklings grow fast and reach a nice roasting size at two months, it being quite common to get a four pound fowl at this age. They are a great delicacy then, and as they bring a higher rate Der pound than when matured ‘it is considered most profitable to market them at a weight of three to four bounds. Their feed up to this time should consist mainly of bran or shorts wet to a thin mash with skimmilk. adding a little cornmeal. Stale bread or crackers soaked with skimmilk will also do nicely. They need a clover patch to run in. Garden stuff is ex- cellent. A little cracked corn is need- ed in the last two weeks. In rais- ing ducks to an age of six or eight months considerable grain is required in addition to the mash and green stnE. From time of hatching to five days old provide the following mixture: Duck farming is becoming more prof- itable year by year. People are learn- ing that ducks are the hurdiest of do-fl mestie {owls andare the easiest to feed. Matured ducks of the larger breeds are worth $1 to $1.25 each dressed. The feathers add a few cents to this. ‘ THE DURHAM CHRONICLE.
