THE Ml SCHOOi REMARKABLY BIG GAME. Lesson VIil.?Third Quarter, For Aug. 23. 1CC3. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Z?::t of the Lesson, ! Sam. xx. 30-42. Vlemory. Verse, 42 ? Golden Text, Prov. xvii, 17?Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 150S, by American Press Association.] At the beginning of last week's les son we referre'd briefly to the love of Jonathan and David as set forth in xviii, 1-4, and now we follow on to consider the love of God and of Jona- < than and the murderous hatred of Saul The great murderer Is ever seek ing to kill, but the great and only life giver is not only ever giving life, and life abundantly, but He is ever pre serving and earing for the life which He gives. When Saul instructed Jona- I than and all his servants to kill David, I Jonathan so reasoned und pleaded that his father eaid. "As the Lord liveth. he shall not be slain" (xix.-1-?). But no reliance can be placed on a man pos sessed by such an evil spirit and soon we read that Saul sought to smite Da vid to the wall with his javelin and then sent messengers to slay him in his own house, but David escaped and went to Samuel, and he and Samuel Tie Wonderful Gun Which Was Owned by Sam Sampson; Not long a jo an ex-Governor of Michigan, a Cleveland capitalist and .he;? ni I'r.en ' ? . hi ilia !>'.; woods near Turtle Lake, guided by Sam Sampson, a famous hunter and tiapper. Sam possesses a gun with a barrel five feet long, but once, ac cording to his story, he had a still longer one. "It was a wonderful gun," he said to the ex-governor. "I could kill a b'ar as fur off as I could see 'im, an' that gun,-was as knowing as a man. If it han't been fur that it would never ha* busted!" "How did you break :t?' asked one of the hunters. "I strained it t' death." said the old guide soberly. "I was out hunt ing one day when I seen a buck an' seven does a-standin' close onto me. I pulled up old Beetle?that's what I called th' gun?and was jest goin' t* let go when I heard an awful fun ny noise over my lead. I looked ur'n' there wus more'n ten million wild geese a-sailin' ov.er me. There I was in a predicament. I wanted th' gees 'n' I wanted th' deer. At last I aimed at th' geese an let sliver. Beetle must ha knowed I wanted both for that wus th" end of the old gun! ' Th* strain on ner was too much an' both barrels busted. Th' shot in one of 'em killed th" buck, The Vanishing Coin Trick. went to dwell at Naloth (fix. 7-24). From thence David returned to inter view JonatLan and said to him, "Tru ly, as the Lord liveth and as thy soul liveth, there is but a step between me and death" (xx. 3). for so it seemed as long as he was within reach of Saul. Jonathan could not believe this of hi* father, sn they fell upon :i plan to us eeriuiu truly th* purpose of Saul to ward David. When, shortly after this, Saul attempted to kill Jonathan also because he took David's part, then Jon athan knew that It was determined of his father to slay David, and he com municated the same to David by means of the lad and the arrows as re corded in chapter xx. 30-42. our special lesson for today. One cannot but think of the purpose of the Jews to kill Jesus and of how He escaped out of their hand again and again until in the eternal purpose of God the time came when they were permitted to do that which His hand and counsel had re solved before to be done (Acts iv. 28). The death of David at the Hands of Saul was not In the plan and purpose of God, however much It may have seemed so at times. We may not know always just wluit His purpose for us is. but fie will make It plain, and we may be quite sure that if we are' abid ing in Him nothing that Is not In His plan for us ran ever reach us and all that is in His plan surely will. We may learn to live in God and find in Him always a hom? of peace and rest This is our privilege, though few seem to attain to it. See the heart of Jona than in verse 34. He did not care for himself nor grieve because of his fa ther's treatment of him, but "he was grieved for David because bis. father had done him shame." Saul's' treat ment of his son was also his treatment of David, for Jonathan stood for Da vid. When Paul sent Onesinins home to his former master. Philemon, he said in his letter, "Receive him as my self, and if he oweth thee aught put it to ray account." So the Lord Jesus makes us one with Himself, and who ever or whatever touches one of His touches Himself Therefore He said to Saul when persecuting the Chris tians. "Why persecutest thou Me?'' He said concerning Israel in Zech. II. Si "He that toucbeth you toucheth the apple of his eye." , See the love of Jonathan and David in their parting after the lad had re turned home (verse 4). "They kissed one another and wept one with an other till David exceeded." Joseph thus wept not only over Benjamin, but over all his brethren as he forgave (hem and took them to his heart to love them and care for them and nour ish them and their little ones. Does Jesus love us thus? For we think thai we could trust and rest in love like that Listen to His own word, "As the Father hath loved Me so have I loved you: continue ye in My love" (John xv. Pi How slow we are to believe it! I th' shot in th' other killed ten geese, an' when Beetle died she kicked so hard 1 was knocked into a crick. But when I come out my bootlegs was full o fish! I ain't never seen another sech gun as Beetle!"?Lipplncott's.

He advertised and received 100 re plies. Out of the hundred he select e..' ten whom he interviewed, his choice falling upon an apparently bright young?ler to whom he said: "My boy, I like your appearance and personality, and think you will do. Did you bring a character?" "No, sir," replied the boy, "but I can go home and get it." "Very well," replied the promoter. "Bring it back to-morrow and if it is satisfactory, I shall engage you." Late that same afternoon the pro moter was surprised by the return of the candidate. "Well." he askea o' the boy, "have you got your character?" "No," said the boy, "but I got yours and I a!nt coming, either!" BEAB VIEW OF TABLE. iug the trick, take up the plate and show your audience that it is unpre pared. H<11d it behind the table over the plate in the bag and sweep off the coins on the plate, really letting them fall on the hidden plate. Every one will think the coins are on the one you are holding, which you now cover with the handkerchief before raising it above the edge of the table. You have only to bring the plate forward und raise the handkerchief to show that the coins have vanished. "Do you know your orders, sen try?" an Irish soldier on guard was asked. "Yes, sor," was the reply. "Know the points of the compass?" continued the officer. "Yes, sor."

SCHOOL GROUND BETTERMENT What Can Be Done to Make Common Property Attractive. While we are imbued with the gar dening fever let us look to the district school yard and uote if it has all we could wish for in the way of plant life. If not. what can you do to make il more interesting, instructive or at tractive? Of eourse there are school yards where there is not sufficient space for flowers, others where the school board, has covered the garden spare wit tup temporary buildings and still others where- they have built so ugly aud unsightly or insufficiently us to disgust the neighborhood residents, who will do nothing until the wrong is righted. As a rule, however, school yards in general are capable of pleasing ef fects by the judicious planting of tree, shrub and vine. Where such is the case It Is well to bear in mind that it is the one piece of neighborhood properly In which all are interested, all have a common ownership and that upon all its condition reflects credit or criticism. Whrt' is the condition of1 your school yard? Can you individual ly or with your neighbors collectively do anything to Improve It? If so, act that it may he a credit and. a comfort to you and yours.
