To Remove Mcles
UGLY DUCKLING—I advise you MI go to a specialist to have the motet;
removed. However, if they are not of
a very great size, I think you would.
be wise to let them alone, for, un-
doubtedly., the operation of removing
them will leave a scare anyway.

C. C.—There are several simple remeo
dies which you may use to restore yowl
complexion to its fairness.
Bathe your face at night with an InI
fusion (cold) of fresh cucumbers '.slicel
in milk. Buttermilk, too, is very goo
if applied to the face several times et
day.
Good results may be obtained front
the use of a mixture of lemon Pike and
glycerine, equal parts. If your skin will
not stand glycerine, use rosewater in-
stead.
Recipe for-the Hair
CONSTANT READER—Here is the
recipe which you asked me to reprint:.
One-half ounce of sugar of lead, one-
half ounce of lac sulphur, one-half
ounce of essence el bergamot, oneopet
gill of alcohol, one ounce of glycerine.
one-half mince of tincture of cantharl-
des, one-half ounce of ammonia.
Mix all in one Pint of soft water.
Apply to the roots of the hair, which
must be clean.
The dye should never be applied if
there is any irritation or abrasion of
the scalp.
The best way to use any stain is to
apply it to the roots of the hair with
a email brush—a tooth brush will an-
swer for the purpose. Then spread it
evenly downward through the tresses
with an ordinary hair brush.
This should not be applied more than
once a week, as its frequent use at tool
brief an interval Would, sooner or later,
have a pernicious effect upon the scalp,

There are at least three kinds of
atheism—that which denies the ex-
istence of any infipite and eternal
spirit; that which, while affirming,
with much emphasis and elabora-
tion of detail, the existence of such
a spirit, yet lives as if there were
none; and that which, 'whether af-
firming or denying the fact, puts
rothing of the divine into actual
living.
One's intellectual conclusions as
to the existence of such a God as
men of the past may have been able
to Ottire may have little huport-
once. The fact is that, as tb the
'specifications of the Deity as con-

pitches his camp with six thousen I
troops against David in the wil-
derness of Ziph. At night David
and Abisbai steal into the camp and.
take the spehr and water craze
from the head of the sleeping king
and retire undetected. David
crossee a ravine and standing on
the hill opposite upbraids Abner,
fiaura commander, far his failure
to protect the person of his sover-
eign. Saul hears him and the scene
between Saul and David follows.
Saul knew David's voice—Appar-
ently it was still night and David
ceund not be seen. tlaul might well
know the voice of the minstrel "-
whose music had dispelled his evil
spirit and brought him back to life
(1 Sam. la. 23).
, son David—Under-these cir-
cumstances this amounts to a term
of endearment. Saul's fear on dis-
covering the presence of an enemy
within his own camp has given way
to as great relief when he realizes
that it is David and 'that he has
spared hie life. His thankfulness
was no doubt genuine for the mo-
ment.
My Lord, king—David's loy-
alty to the king has never wavered,
and he still regards 'himself as one

words suggest a weapon, such as -
Saul has held in his hand and mur-
derously thrown at David. David
now holds this spear but not for
(nil against his king.
19. If it be Jehovah—If Saul's
thirst for David's life was due sim-
ply to his own madness, then it
must be accepted as an "evil spirit

David has wronged Jehovah, he is
willing to make restitution possible.
But if, it be the children of men—
Saul undouijedly had adviser,
whose prospects for promotion
would be marred by David's good
favor at court. They would not be
slow to cultivate Saul's anger, and
by reminders of his public threats
to goad him on to destroy the young
commander. David's generous al.
ternative left no blame with Saul
in any event.
Cursed—The people of the East
are free with their curses and bles-
sings and usually call upon God to
witness to their fulfillment.
Go, serve other gods—These were
primitive days in Israel's religion,
and while Jehovah was taken as the
only God for Israel, the existence
of other gods for other peoples was_
never questioned at this time.
Every victory of Israel over another
nation was simply a proof that Is-
rael's God was stronger than their
god. It was the great work of the
prophets to show that Jehovah was
the God of the earth and that all
other gods were "a vain show."
Thus when David was driven as an
outlaw to take service under a Phil-
istine chief it was equivalent to a
compulsory acceptance of the gods
cf the Philistines. So his grievance
was religious as well as political—
indeed, at this period the two could
not be separated. Furthermore,
there was a feeling in the primitive
religions that every god was con-
fined to the territory of his people.
Naarnan after his cleansing took
back with him some of the soil of
Jehovah's land that when he reach.
ed his own country he might still

this same feeling in thin and the fol-
lowing verse.

earth away from the presence of
Jehovah—That is, "Let me not die
away from my own country."

The capture of Saul's spear haf a
deep significance, for the tipdar In
these warlike days was the scepter
The king was never without it It
c( rresponded to the headquarters
flag in time of war ; it was driven
into the ground by the commander's
head at night (I Barn 26. 7). When
the king sat at table it was by his
side (20 2:1), and as he sat in coun
cil he held it in his hand (22 0)
What a trophy this would have
been' David's return of the 'king's
spear" was absolute proof o f his
sincerity in all that he had said .

David's is half covenant and half
prayer He begins by making the
terms of an agreement with 'Raul,
but his closing words turn in sup-
plicatien to Jehovah, "nn let m y lif
rntir,h set by in the eves of Je-
teeth, and let him deliver roe out
of all trihulntion 25
Su l)avul went his way—Not
daring to trust himself to Saul
whose moments of kindness were
daily hemming more transient and
inrre:ill"Pnt Saul returned to his own place—
That is, gave up the pursuit of Da-
vid He does not appear to have
made any more attempts upon
David's life.

Yet the man who cannot believe
