If you were crossing the ocean for
the first time, your common sense
would caution you to choose a large
vessel for passage rather than a small
one. You would feel much safer.
Likewise when you are choosing a
bank in which to deposit your funds,
that same common sense would cau
tion ypu to choose a bank that is a
large one in points of business, service,
and security.
LARGE—YET FRIENDLY
This-bank is large enough to be ab
solutely safe, yet small enough to be
friendly.
You are in the liands of friends

TEXT—But he knew not that the
Lord had departed from him.—Judges
1C:20. (R. V.)
Moses knew not that the skin of his
faoe shone by reason of His speaking
with him.—Ex. 24:29. (R. V.)
There are times when it almost
seems that the inner condition of
head and heart i.?
better known to
our fellow men
than to ourselves.
The above pas- j
sages deal in a
two-fold way with
a common aspect i
of human life and
experience; that
is. an inability to
estimate properly ;
our own liabili- ;
ties or assets, as
the case may be. i
The majority of
people are not in j
need of more assets so much as the !
ability to utilize advantageously those
gifts which they already possess. By
this process liabilities may be turned
into the real values of life. While
this is true in a general way it must
be noted that the above passages are
related only to the realm of the |
spiritual. Both Samson and Moses j
were quite unconscious of certain I
facts as to their own personalities.
A Tragic Ignorance. Samson did
not know that God had left him. He
had been ignorant of the fact of God's
pi’esence with him—the greatest j
blessing in the world—hence his ignor- !
since of God's departure. His ignor- j
a nee was due to a cloud which had
settled thick sind heavy over ids heart. .
This in turn was the result of dis- ;
obedience, for he had broken his vow ;
with God. Delilah evidently placed ,
more value upon money than upon tlm i
man Samson. Corruption of motive
in her case seemed to eclipse purity |
of love. Three times she had tried |
to force from him the secret of Ids i
strength. Three times Samson stepped
downward until ultimately lie stopped i
upon Ids vow and trampled it in the '
dust. First it was the green withes, I
no doubt the material used for how- !
sti'ings, almost unbreakable. Delilah,
actuated by the large sum of money
promised her by live five Philistine
lords, watched Samson closely. But
the green withes broke as easily as
half-burned cord. Second, the now
ropes were tried with the same re
sult. Why did Samson remain with
her when subjected to such deception?
May it not he due to the fact that In*

CLEMSON COLLEGER July 17.—
When following the standard dust. ; ng
procedure to control the boll weevil,
cotton aphids (or plant Ice) often
develop in considerable abundance
after three or four applications of
calcium arsenate dust. The presence
c-f this pest,, says M. H. Brunson,
extension entomologist, has caused
■nany farmers considerable arxiety
because of the curling aud wilt.ng
effect it has on cotton leaves.
The presence of plant lice may |
be detected by examining the lower
urfacc of the leaves for the insects;
end by the shiny, greenish appear-;
ancc of the upper surface of many j
leaves. There are two forms of the.
inseeb wingless and winged. The i
wingless forms are pale yellow to |
very dark green, while the winged
forms are more slender and are
black on most of the fore body.
Aphids can be effectively con
trolled, Mr. Brunson points out, by
nicotine dust properly applied. Nic-
ct ne dust can. be bought or made
at home and used separately from
calcium arsenate, or the 40-per cent
nicotine sulphate can be added to
the calcium arsenate dust, thereby
making a combination dust that will
give both boll weevil control and
p!a; t louse control at one applica
tion. For best results a dust con
taining three per cent of nicotine
should be used. It is best to make |
the dust at home 'nstead cf buying;
as the home-made dust costs
i
much less and is just as effective
if net more effective. Complete in- ;
formation co; cernir.g the control of;
pla t lice may hr obtained by re-;

Ten yerrs ago the average profit 1
abov' cost of feed for a dairy cow in
the cow testing associations in the
State of Missouri was $88.21 in a

was quite oblivious to the tilings of
the Spirit and God's dealing with tylrn?
The third step downward was almost
si fatal one, because It had to do with
his hair. The secret of his power was
endangered. His hair had to with his
vow. This time he told Delilah to
plait his long hair with the material
in the loom. Then she rolled it up on
the beam and fastened the large pin i
so that it could not unroll, but the
loom could not hold Samson for he
still had his hair. The final step was
a natural result of the preceding one.
How easily one act of sin follows an
other, when the path of obedience is
forsaken! Delilah inveigled him into
a full confession which admitted her
into the very secret of his power. He
became the victim of her shears. A
man came and cut off his locks and
immediately the source of his power
was out off. Yet lie knew not that
Ids God had left him. What a trugie
state of heart! His will was yet in
tact, his purpose well defined, hut the
real power for execution gone: And
he knew it not!
A Blessed Ignorance. Moses had i
been alone with God for forty days ;
and nights; no food, no water. Only
God, the man, and the task. Think ;
of what lias happened when men have j
been alone with God even for one i
night. Think of the varied experi
ences of men on the mountains of the
•^ble! Moses had been up in the
mountain before. After the forty days
and nights he came down from the
mountain, but was not conscious of
the change which such
with God had wrought in him. The
skin of his face shone. The root
meaning of the word “shone” is
“horned,” as though rays of light is
sued from Ids countenance. There
was an effulgence so marked that the
people feared to come near him.
Could we hut pull away the veil of
our own reluctance how richly God
would reveal to us Ilis love and good
ness in our behalf! Moses left his
own desires and preferences behind
and the light of God filled ids soul to
nverllowing. When self is put in the
background eternal values are made
clear to us. God did not wish Moses
ro see anything hut Himself during
those forty days and nights. How
our Father longs to have us all alone
at least once a day! God blesses us
only in proportion to our capacity to
receive. Communion such as tins
will inevitably increase our capacity
for the tilings of God. The outward
appearance is indicative of an inward
state. And Moses knew not that the
«kin of his face shone. Blessed ignor
.nice! Long after this—when een
turies had rolled over his unknown
^rave—Moses witnessed the transfig
tired form of Jesus, also on a moun
tain, when His blessed face became
radiant and glistening in the pres
ence of heavenly visitors, while the>
talked with Him regarding His com
ing death. Moses who had been ignor
ant of ids own glory, beheld the radi
ance of the transfigured Christ.
I. Saul Preached Christ in Damas
cus (vv. 19-22).
1. Saul's fellowship with the dis
ciples (v. 19).
After Saul was baptized he re
mained certain days with the be
lievers in Damascus (v. 19). How beau
tiful to think of the transformation
which took place—the one who was
so passionately bent on their destruc
tion was now enjoying fellowship
wirli rlie disciples.
2. Straightway preaching in the
synagogues (v. 20).
Saul, like every one who is really
converted, begins to tell of the new
ly found Savior. As sooji as he is
saved he goes to saA’e others.
3. The people amazed (v. 21).
They knew that the very one that
had been the ringleader in persecut
ing the Christians in Jerusalem, and
had come to Damascus for the ex
press purpose of bringing them bourn
to the ehief priests, was now passion
ately advocating that which he had
so vehemently sought to destroy.
4. The Jews confounded (v. 22).
.Saul retired into Arabia for three
years. During this rime he was taught
the full truths of his ministry.
II. Saul Escapes From the Jews
(vv. 23-25).
He used the Scriptures with such
skill that the Jews could not answer
him. Finding that the urgument was
against them, the Jews took counsel
how they might destroy Saul. So in
dent were they upon killing him that
they watched the gates of the city 1
day and night that they might take
him. When this became known to the
disciples, they let him down from the
wall by night in a basket.
III. Saul Visits Jerusalem (vv. 2f>-
29).
This journey to Jerusalem was in
strange contrast with (he one from
Jerusalem to Damascus. The one was
as a leader of an important expedi
tion under the authority of the Jew
ish officers with I lie prospect of a
place of distinction in (lie council of
the Jewish nation. Now he is an out
cast. disowned by his countrymen,
and fleeing for his life.
1. Suspected by the disciples (v. 2G)
The believers at Jerusalem had not
heard fully about Saul’s conversion.
They knew nothing of his sojourn in
Arabia, and his preaching at Damas
cus after his return. Therefore they
regarded him as a spy.
2. Barnabas’ confidence in Saul
(v. 27).
Barnabas was a man filled with the
Holy Spirit (Acts 11:24), therefore
able to discern the reality of Saul’s
conversion. He was in reality a “Son
of consolation” and in tin’s instance
showed ids kind spirit.
3. Saul in fellowship with the dis
ciples (v. 2S).
They went in and out together.
Peter received him in Ids home where
in he abode fifteen days (Gal. 1:18).
4. Saul disputes with the Grecian's
(v. 29).
He was not eontont merely to visit
with the brethren. He spoke boldly
in rlie name of the Lord Jesus Christ.
IV. Saul Sent to Tarsus (v. 30).
A conspiracy similar to that one
at Damascus was formed against
Saul. When the brethren knew of it
they sent him to Tarsus. Saul's life
was in danger everywhere except
communion ; ymuns (j| 0 Gentiles. He now is back
at the place of his birth. The first
a d best place for one’s testimony
is in Ids home. Saul’s conversion was
typical of the conversion of the Jew
ish nation. Their eyes will he opened
by a personal revelation of Jesus
Christ to them, and when they accept
Him as their Savior and Messiah
they will go forth as witnesses to the
Gentiles.
V. Saul Teaching at Antioch (11:25
2G).
The work at Antioch so prospered
in the hands of Barnabas that he
went to Tarsus for Saul to help him
in the work. Saul returned with
Barnabas and ministered for a whole
year. The disciples were first called
Christians at Antioch. This name re
sulted from Paul’s teaching. Instead
of being given in derision, as is fre
quently taught.
