This officer of (the temple, or the place of worship, 'not only cooked the animal; he kil- li'i'i it, and dismembered it, cutting (ii into joints. I 24. The cook took up the thigh, wind that which was upon it, and set iit, before Saul-The thigh, or gshoulder, was the choicest piece; it iwas the most tender and juicy. the ,plece most desired by those whose [tastes were cultivated for the good ithings. As we read in Lev. 7. 32, lthe right thigh, or shoulder, “as him piece which was given unto the i priest for " a heave offering" out of .the sacrifices of the peace offering. ll)nubtless this portion which was igiven to Saul was Samuel's own 1pitrco, expressly set aside for him. “The king, therefore. was to receive ltlmt which was expressly provided ‘for the priest. The priestly pre- irogativtru. thus easily became merg- fed in the kingly. ( Is it not that Jehovah hath Ianointed thee to be prince over his iinheritence .r--Doubtless Saul was 1ery much surprised when Samuel anointed his head and kissed him. So Samuel adds at once, Is it not Jehovah who hath called thee. and who hath directed me to proclaim Innto thee that thou art to be king 1over Israel I” ithat, the tribe of Benjamin was near- . ly annihilated. In verse M we read i that "the children of Israel destroy Led of Benjamin that day twenty and (fly/r thousand and a. hundred men: .all these drew the sword.” And in {verse It, "And there fell of Ben- (iamin eighteen thousand men; all ithese were men of vmlor." As the tribe had not recovered from this awful decimation at the time of Saul was speaking to Samuel, it, was un- donbtedly by far the smallest of the tribes of Israel. 2G. When they tu'tttie down from the high plnco into the city, he com- muned with Saul upon the house- lul‘n-Tllli was not a. private place, hut. a publiv one. Samuel the pro- phet. tun-k Said, the stranger. into "'IS vonspit-tmus n place as he could iind, so that all the people would know that he was honoring his quest, in a. peculiar and important way. The housemps of the Orient were flat. That there would be no danger from anyone falling " and hurting himself, it was ordained in the law (Dent. ?,2. 8) as follows: "When thou buildest a new house, then thou shalt riiake a battlement (a railing) for thy root, that thou bring no tblood upon thy house, if any man tall from thence." In Isa. 15. 3 we read of the housetop in the same sense as the brow] or pub- lic place. showing the publicity of the housetop. In Luke 12. 2. 3 we read that, "There is nothing cover- ed up that shall not he revealed, The chiefest place-- We well re- member the parable of Jesus about not taking the chief seat at the han- quet. Among the thirty who were hidden. Saul and his servant were placed in the very best seats by in- vitation. This, according to the parable of Jesus. was indication that Saul belonged where he was placed. To show that the future king was to be democratic, and not aristocratic, one of the people, rather than one over the people, the servant of Saul was invited to sit with him. 22. Gttisst-chamber-The temple had chambers near the sanctuary. Those who were put over these chambers held odiecs of trust, as we read in l Chron. 9. M, lt is quite likely that the guest-chamber here mentioned was similar to the waiting-room in the Bamah, or high place, where Jehovah was worship- ed outside the city. 1 Samuel called to Saul, on the _housetorr---saanue) did not call "up Ito" the housetop. He was on the :housetop with Saul, as they had =33le there together. Doubtless a Itent or an awning had been provid- (ed tor Saul . Mi tha Chapter 10. 1. Samuel took the vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him-The oil was for the anointing, of course, and the kiss was the mark of respect and honor. 27. Bid the servant pass on bes fore us-Although the servant had been a part of all the ceremonials up to that time, he was not to hear the word of Jehovah as pronounced by the lips of Samuel which Would make of his master a king. The servant was to pass on and only Saul “as to hear tho Word of God. ver and the gold," which no tor Jehovah. "The desire of Israel," therefore. was all that was “de- sirable in Israel," form the value point of view. Saul and his house were to be enriched by the honor that was to be thrust upon Saul. What, therefore, were a few asses to his father? Is mA all that is desirahle in Israel "tor thee and all thy tather's house"? el. Saul answered and said-The natural modesty of Saul here arp- pears.

Now it is dangerous to speak it any- l where. In almost etery shop hangs la. large placard asking people not lto. Street car conductors will not laillow' them to. Often in the streets Minglish people are stared at with dislike and suspicion because their English has been mistaken for Ger man. I hear of several altercatio,0; which have arisen in this way. A lady I know was told by an oftieey not to speak German. She retort» ed in French "You ought to learn to recognize the language of Eng- land. your ally." An Englishman who speaks perfect Rumian was abused rudely in a street car be, cause he was talking English with his wife. He turned the laugh by saying in Russian “11' you had been better educated you would be able to distinguish between German and English.” The man mllapsed. In schools the teaching of German has been suspended. A German news- paper which has been published here for a century and a half is to be suppressed at the end of the year. Thousands of firms which had close relations with German indus- try hare resolved to send their ot'- ders elsewhere. Great Britain might stop in and get them if our business men cared to do business on Russian lines.

For instance, the formal house slmuld be tutr- rounded by natural things in gen- metrical; patterns-straight walks, formal shaped shrubs, square corn- ers, etc. while the more imposing type of building should be accom~ panied with flower beds. shrubs, trees and walks of such a design as to carry out the style of the hulls? as tar as possible. Every home should be surrounded by a beautiful and artistic yard. Few will argue against this fact. but there is considerable divergence of opinion as to the best way to make the yard beautiful. In the case of country places the house is the outstanding feature m the beautifying of the yard because on all sides there is ample land, and the primary idea is to make a picture that delights not only the Inmates of the home but also the pas-serby.
