Curioust Read By MOSS. We Americans are an odd lot. We tumble all over ourselves to.find out the other fellow's busi ness. We're the most curi ous nation on earth. A question mark tantalizes us. We devour news. We devour advertise ments. This is all natural. News reading and ad. reading keep us up to date. The newspaper is the common denomi nator of the people's education. Above all, for our pocketbooks' sake, we ought to read the ads. in this paper as news. They are fiews. Just to show that there was nothing small about them, the poolroom owners of Spartanburg have decided to remove the screens from their doors,even though they won out handsomely in an election recently on that proposition. Which shows that a horse can be lead to water but can't be made to drink. It looks as though the women will have to do all the work in European countries, if there is any done. Both England and Italy have given them the places of the men who have gone to the front. Wonder if they will be willing to give the jobs back to the men when the war is over? But perhaps the men won't want them! Michigan school children are now. re quired to sing "The Star Spanglet o Banner." Doesn't thiscome under th< n head of "cruel and unusual punishment?' -The State.

BiuE EYES. Good Roads and Cotton Washington, May 19.-Since 1906, the average day's haul of cotton from the farm to the ship ping station has been Increased from- about 1,700 pounds to about 3,000 pounds, according to a report made by Mr. Frank Andrews, chief of the division of crop reports of the United States agricultural department. Commenting on this, Presi dent Harrison of Southern Rail way company said: "While the shortening of the average haul, due to railroad construc tion and the use of draft ani mals, has probably been help ful, there can be no doubt that the principal factor in this large saving In the cost of marketing the cotton crop is the direct re sult of the progress that has been made in improving the country highways of the South. It is a practical demonstration of the economic advantage of improving roads radiating from market towns and shipping' sta tions so as to give the benefits of goo(d ioads to the largest practi cab le numb er of far'mers in the commiunity. That there is still room for fmithior improvement in many localities is shown by the fact that the average wagon load of cotton varies in different parts of thcecotton lbelt from two andl one half bales toeight bales."

GOLDEN - TEX-3ehovah is my trength and my shield; my heart hath usted him, and I am helped.-Ps. 28:7 4V. Saul ceased from pursuing David [ Samuel 27:4) when he fled into the Ind of the Philistines for he feared iem greatly (I Sam. 28:6, 6). Davi'd ught with Saul's enemies but never ieless was not wanted (29:6-11). His rives being taken captive, he, with 00 men destroyed Ziklag, sending the poll to his friends in Judah (1 Sam. 0). Following the.death of Saul and onathan (II Sam. chapter 1) we read )avid's wonderful lament (ch. 2). - 1. David, King of Judah. (1) )avid's Kingdom, ch. 2:13. It is now even or eight years since Samuel knointed the young shepherd to be Ling in Saul's place. David was prob. ably twenty-nine years of age. He lad now a fourfold assurance of his throne (a) God's decree (I Sam. 16: 11-13); (b) The death of Saul (ch. 1: 4); (c) God's command (v. 1), and (d) The choice of the people (v. 4). His every step seems to have been led of God, therefore he had made no false moves (James 1:6-7, see also Ps. 19:13, 14). How God by means of the stones in the priest's breastplate made known his will we are not told and it Is idle to speculate. We have a bet ter way, the inspired word and the living spirit through which we may receive guidance. Such guidance is conditioned upon obedience (I Sam. 28:6; Acts 5:32). God directed David, after Saul's death to "go up" to Heb ron, which means "fellowship." It was here that Abraham, the man of faith, had lived. David thus began his conquest of the land in fellowship with God. David implicitly obeyed God's decree (v. 2), took his family with him and also brought his men with their households. This is a sug gestion relative to household fellow ship with God. They left nothing be hind to lure them back as Lot was lured when he left Sodom. These men had been David's partners in his adversity and are now to share in his glory (Luke 22:28, 29; II Tim. 2:12; Rom. 8:17, 18). (2) David's Diplomacy, 2:5-7. It was good politics for David to honor these men of Jabesh, yet he was hon est and sincere for he honored Saul as his rightful and God-anointed sov ereign (I Sam. 24:4-8; 26:7-11). These men had shown kindness to Saul and now Jehovah would show kindness to them (v. 6). As we sow we reap (Matt. 5:7; 6:14, .15; II Tim. 1:16-18). David took pains to inform them that he had been chosen king but assures them that he would strengthen them. As they had been faithful to Saul, let them support the one who had been anointed in his stead. To have adopt ed any other policy would have alien ated their support. (3) ish-boaheth's Kingdom, 2:8-11. As contrasted with this God-directed kingdom of David's was the man-direct ed kingdom of Ish-bosheth. His name means, "name of shame." He was about forty years of age, Saul's oldest son, but not his Intended successor. Ish-bosheth was: (a) selected by man (v. 8); (b) ruled by man (v. 9) and (c) made war upon God's elect (x, 17, ch. 3:1). He only reigned two years and his kingdom In the northern part of the land was separated from that of David by that portion in the center controlled by the Philistines. Abner's untimely death at the hand of Joab (oh. 3) deprived Ish-bosheth of a leader. He was slain by his own serv ants and his kingdom became a part of David's. ii. David, King of Israel, 5:1-5. David passed through seven and one half years of delay in his progress towards the throne. It wvas not long after Ish-bosheth's death that a great assembly met at Hebron. It was a truly national gathering. E~very tribe sent soldiers-20,000 In all-and the elders of the people were the spokes men. They proclaimed David "bone of their bone" (v. 1) and that even while Saul was king, David had been their real shepherd (v. 12). But better still, they recognized David as God's chosen successor to Saul and pro claimed to all men that they had loy ally accepted his choice. The story of David's conquest of Jerusalem and the establishment of the seat of his government at that place is interesting and suggestive and should be studied before next Sun day's lesson is considered. After being anointed in Hlebron David began at once to subdue the land. Thus we see the loose tribal gov ernment molded into a powerful, domi nant and respected kingdom. David was (1) Patient, awaiting God's time; (2) Energetic; (8) Courageous; (4) Tactful; (5) Trusting; (6) Loyal, to friends and to God: (7) Patriotic; (8) Obedient, and above all, (9) Rteligious, for we read, "the Lord is with him" (I Sam. 16:18), and, "David waxed greater and greater; for the Lord, the tGod of hosts, was with him" (Ii Sam. 5:10).
