Their Reasons <tt. 1-0): (1) Samuel was Incapacitated by old age. (2) The unfaithfulness of his sous whom he had appointed as his sue- Atlanta, March 8.—Mrs. Aaa G. Candler, Sr., wife of the Atlanta soft drink millionaire ‘ manufacturer, to day was execrated a t a police court hearing of having been an occupant of a “dive,” which charge grew out of a raid made by the police on an apartment in a fashionable residential section here in which Mrs. Candler, W. J. Stoddard and G. W. Keeling, business men, were arrested. The identical chhrge against Keel ing and Stoddard was also dismissed. Stoddard, however, was held under bond of 8300 for violation of the State prohibition law when he assum ed responsibility for a small quantity of whiskey that the police found in a bottle on a table around which the three persons had been seated when the police made the raid. “I can't see that the result of the public trial today has left me any thing to say in addition,” Stoddard said in a statement after the trial tike arrests ware made. Attorney Dorsey, representing Mrs. Candler, asserted that “Atlanta has many beautiful dives if this apart ment, 48 Juniper street, can be class ed as such.” s , Chief Beavers said that he kept • ' \ 4 *' j **. the complaint of Mr. Candler secret r said Mrs. Candler's car was at the because “I didn’t want to : do any injuetfee to Mrs. Candler, Mr. Cand ler or their families. 1 had been ask ed to kdlp it secret until something materialised.” The police official said that after tk>n 1,768 of the city code under which he received a telephone call on Febrn- >k Ca ice of judge was not >r tne hereditary. IS) The desire to be like other na tions. Since the surrounding nations had kings as leaders, they wanted a king who would fight their battles. 2. Samuel's Protest (vv. 6-18). He took the matter “to the Lord In prayer and^the Lord instructed him to sol emnly point out to the people the meaning of their action.' (1) The king 4vould make slaves of their, daughters and make their sons to serve In his army find do all kinds self disclosed the details of the mis erable conspiracy which is back Of this whole prosecution. The court’s judgment completely cleared Mrs. Candler, Mr. Keeling and myself of any suspicion of misconduct of any kind whatever.” The police chief testified that “less than a month” before the raid complaint came from the aged mil lionaire husband, Asa G. Candler, Sr. of hard work on his farms and In his house. (2) He would take their lands, even those inherited from their fathers, and give them to his favorite officers and servants. Not content with that, he would take the tenth pact of their produce to give to his favorites. 8. Protest Disregarded (w. 18-20). Having made up their minds, they de liberately shut their eyes to the truth and madly rushed Into the experiment. II. Saul Chosen as King (I Sam. 9-11). L The King Pointed Out (9:1-10:16). Saul was sent to search for his fa ther's asses that had wandered away. While on this errand, Samuef found him and anointed him.' Saul and his father were acting freely in this mat ter, yet at the same time God’s pur pose was being carried out 2. The King Chosen at Mlzpeh (10:17-27). Saul was chosen because of his fitness. If they would have a king, the Lord gave them the one best fitted for their needs. (1) A fine physique. Ho woo hood and shoulders above the rest of the people. Forest Adair, well-known realtor, asked him to take personal charge of the raid. * “The chief has testified/’ defense cousel told- the court, “that Mr. Cand ler made this complaint to him. Wfc have let that go in as evidence, al though it was hearsay. And now we have the right to know who askec tKe chief to make this arrest in per son. '(4) \ (2) Modesty. (8) Self-control. Military Instinct The method of choice was by lot When the choice *as made, part of the people enthusiastically cried. “God save the king." Others mocked and refused allegiance. III. The King Confirmed at Gllgat (I Sam. 11). Saul took advantage of the great Victory over the Ammonites to get all the people to crown him king. IV. Saul’e Failure (I Sam. 15). This Is one of the saddest pictures In all history. T 1. The Command to SauL (w. 1-8). Ho was commanded to utterly exter minate the Amalekltes. The reason assigned was their evil treatment of Israel after they came up out of Egypt (Exod. 17:8; Deut 25:17). 1. The Disobedience of Saul (vv. 4-9). The commandment was carried. _ out only in part Agag, the king, .was •pared, and the best of tho goods ap propriated. 8. Saul Rejected by God (w. 10-25) (1) Samuel cried to God (v. 11). The news of this disgraceful affair greatly disturbed Samuel, moving him \ to cry unto God day and night. (2) Saul’s hypocritical pretense (w. 15-10). This pretense carried a He upon Its face. Though disturbed by n ' guilty conscience, he tried to, concili ate Samuel, but the very bleating of’ the sheep and thfi lowing of the herds betrayed him. He then tried to put the blame upon the people. (3) Samuel rehearses before Saul God’s dealing with him (vv. 17-23). Samuel met his hypocrisy by bringing him to squarely face his sin. God Is more concerned In having His subjects render obedience unto His. command ment than He la for them to offer unto Him sacrifice. 4. The Judgment Upon Saul (w. 8685). For the presumptuous offering of the sacrifice, the dynasty passed from Saul’s bouse, and for this act of flagrant disobedience, the kingdom was rent from him. He confessed his •In and begged Samuel to still honor him before the elders of tbe people. Samuel forsook him qnd left him alone to finffer In disgrace. Holy Life.

No-one Is useless In tills world, who Bghtspr tbo'burdea of It to aayoof “Well,” Chief Beavers replied, “it was Mr. Forest Adair whom I knew to be a confidential adviser of Mr. Candler. I will tell it all. Mr. Adair called me and said that I would get a telephone call and I would hear the name ‘Howell/ and that when I heard that name 1 would.know that they were in an Apartment together I was to investigate and make the arrest.” The chief also testified that Mrs. Candler had been “shadowed” by Thomas H. Pitt, an employee of Adair Realty Company. It was also brought out that Mrs. Candler was taken to the police sta tion after she had been identified by Pitt in the apartment and after he had demanded that she be treated “like the rest of them." None of these defendants testified % . ~r and no witnesses were put up in their behalf! Police Capt. A. J. Holcombe, who assisted in the raid, testified that he had been unable to locate “Mrs. Kibler,” the landlady of this apart ment.—- •, The police head said that when he reached the apartment he “asked Mr^ Stoddard how long he had been going with Mrs. Candler,, and he eall- ed-me to one side and said: “‘Chief, she was my stenographer for six years.' I then asked him: ‘Mr. Stoddard, did your wife ever get after you about running around with her?’ and he replied: ‘Wbll, yes, chief, she has.' ” ‘That’s not true,” Mr. Stoddard shouted. - “Isn't that what you said?” the chief asked. “No,” Stoddard rejoined'in an an- -gry tone. “That’s not right, and you know iFs not right.” “Yes, it is, too,” the chief insisted. “You know I wouldn’t lie fdr you or anybody else. • You also asked me how long I had known about this, and when I said that I had known about it for about one month, you said that you ‘wished ,1 had tipped you off.’ ” A bottle, which Chief Beavers said was taken in the raid and contain- Dr. Felder Smith - OPTOMETRIST MODERN 4 L SERVICE Specialist Jacobs & Company Building Phone 29 JAS.
