GOLDEN TEXT-Man looketh on the utward appearance, but Jehovah looketli n the lcart.-I Samuel 15:7 R. V. After the events recorded in last unday's lesson Samuel retired to amah never again to see Saul's face. amuel 'mourned" (15:35) 1. e., be ailed and lamented the deposed king. was noble for Samuel thus to be rieved over Saul's sin; still, God had ork for him to do. There is a sor w that "worketh repentance" which pleasing in the sight of God, but tat idle sorrow which spends itself unprofitable mourning'is detrimen I to man and a hindrance to the ngdom of God (ch. 8:7; 15:1). Men ay fall but the kingdom goes for ard. We do not interpret verse 2 i suggesting any subterfuge on God's irt but rather that God refused to xy any attention to Samuel's fear od answers fear by giving us- duties > perform and in their performance e are delivered from our fears. 1. David Chosen to Be King, vv. 4-10. aul, the clamorous choice of the peo 10, was not succeeded by David-"the tan after God's own heart"-for sev ral years after this lesson. God's 'ill in this -matter was shown to amuel progressively: (a) in chapter 3:14 Samuel is informed that God ath sought "a man after his own eart;" (b) in 16:1 he is told to go ad find the king whom God had pro. Ided; (c) ill verse, 12 Samuel at last definitely told whom God its selected. This selection Is' in ac )rdance with the prophecy made cen. trica, before regarding the kingly 3epter (Gen. 49:10). Of course it as high treason, this adt Samuel was bout to perform, and Saul yet had any friends and supporters (v. 2). od seems to have permitted Samuel > use one avowed purpose to con. ai the real one, but "such a course is le to use but sparingly" (Maclaren) od can and does protect those whom e sends (Ps. 34:7) and "man is im Lortal till his work is done." Just 'iat or how did not concern Samuel )r he had God's promise (v. 3). A Lep at a time was sufficient and in iking each step Samuel was to tel ie exact truth. Thus God guides and tests his serv nits. Samuel was a judge as well a prophet (ch. 7:16) and the peopl( f Bethlehem were agitated at hi rrival. It may be, too, that thesi iders were fearful of incurring the ispleasure of Saul. There was nm ocasion for fear, as Samuel's purpose 'as to sacrifice and his mission one o eace even as the angelic messengeri 'ho quieted the. shepherds with thel tessago of "peace" when "grea avid's greater son" was ushered int< to world. Jesse was a grandson o uth the Moabitess and also a do :endant of Rahab the harlot. Or Is father's sido ho belonged to th< ;rong tribe of Judahx. He was evi ently a man of somte wealth, certain in his children. After the sacri ce and before the feast Samuel ii Lade acquainted wvith the sons o: esse.

David was agile anm trong and though seemingly scoffei t by his brothers and neglected b: is father it did not pervert his gooi aturo nor turn him from the perform flee of his duties. Samuel did no root David as lie had greeted-Saul e 'may have been dispappointed. Thil ives emphasis to the words in verse 2, "Arise anoint him: for this lihe." David is anointed, set apart, for thti ingship, but is not equipped nor doe, e enter upon his offices till later. In this he is a type of Jesus wh< liall yet reign on David's throne.

Washing the milker's hands and the cow's udder before milking is a good start toward clean milk production. A pound of butterfat sold from the farm takes away much less of the soil's fertility than does a pound of hay-or grain. Feed the hav and grain to dairy cattle, keep the fertility on the farm and derive your cash from the sale of butterfat. Murne Cowan, an Ohio Guernsey cow, has broken the world's record with a production in one year of 1,096 pounds of butterfat, which churned into 1,400 pounds of butter. The record holder before her was also a Guernsey. Butterfat in the form of first class butter is worth 30 cents per pound or more. In the form of low quality butter, it is worth 20 cents or iess. Are you get ting the higher price by pro ducing the better quality? If not, the Dairy Division of Clem son College will be glad to help you find remedies. When a good cow is sold from your community, it requires about six years to grow another to replace her. This is easily understood when it Is remem bered that about half the calves born are males and that at least half of the heifers do not develop into good cows. Many well-bred cows have made poor records because of re ceiving poor treatment. On the other hand, many cows of in feiior breeding have done ex oellently under good care. He redity is only half the secret of a dairy record. Environment is the other factor, and one that nust be taken into account. Sunset News Letter Dear Editor, and your many readers: I will send you a few more scattering news items, from this little quiet corner of of the county. Mrs. A. T. Winchester had the misfortune to sprain or put her right ankle out of place on the 9th of February, and has not been able to wvalk any on it since, except on crutches. We were visited by a very large snow for the time of year on the 20th of March. We heard an older man say that a snow fell on the 20th of March, 1876, similar to the recent one. ~Your scribe asked this ques tion some years ago through The Sentinel, and I nowv will repeat it: Can anybody tell when it happened, (if ever) or when it will happen, that there will be -five Sundays in February?

Pickons county and ef pecially to the legislative delegation q this county. We have a registration law-. in thi state and the lai. provides for a boai( of three supervis6' of registration fQ: each county. and -the members of thA board are oppointed by the governor, with the'advi'c and consent of the sen ate. - As we. all know, there are alwayE more or less applicants for the positions; this works a hardship upon our senator and leaves room for hard feelings. As there is to be an election in Sep. tember on the whiskey question, and if I am not mistaken, the board of regis tration for this county will have to be appointed in January, 1916, why not let the applicants for a position on this board offer their services a few weeks before said election and let the people have a voice in choosing that board? Let the candidates be assessed enough to pay for the tickets and so much other expense as their part might incur. We believe our senator would be high ly in favor of this, as it would relieve him of a responsibility.

Watch the Higher-Ups, Too Governor Manning is apparently doing all in his poWer to Rut Jlown, the 41legal liquor tra'flc throughout the state, 'and in doing so he is entitled .tq the support of all good citizens. Laws should be obeyed, and every citizen worthy of the name should hold himself as committee of one-to do his part in seeing that they are obeyed. It is somtimes as impor tant to watch carefully those whose duty it is to enforce the laws as well as those who have justly laid themselves under suspicion as most liable to violate the laws. And above all let us do away with "prejudice." The so-called higher up who assumes the right to do as he pleases because he thinks he is above the law is really more dangerous to 'the well-being of society than is the 'nost desperate of criminals.-Yorkville En quirer.
