that there leas any froslt cause for

--David had a warm friend in the
king's ecurt in the person of Jona-
than, whose soul was knit with the
soul of David (ch, 18! 1,) The two
had made a covenant of friendship

J.l idenhyself —Since Saul had given or-

necessary that David take the beat

Philistines had not been permanently

in tate house and put it in David's bed
and with a goat's hair pillow made a
representatatlon of a pian. She did this
to deceive Saul's men and give David
time to make good his escape. She
also employed falsehood to explain to
her father her course in allowing
David to escape. We can not ap-
prove of her deception and falsehood.
ITT. Saul prophesying (vs. 18-24).
David fled to Bamah, the home of
Samuel. and told Samuel what Saul
had clone. Ile remained with Samuel
in the school of the prophets. Saul
heard cf it and sent men to take
David, and as they carne near the
school of the prophets, they began to
prophesy. Saul sent the second time
and the third time with the same re-
sults, then he went 'himself, and as
hes drew near lie also began to pro-
phesy. God would call Saul's atten-
tion to his wicked course.

taker of his sin 'vas beyond all else.
In yearnti(g desire to save 1118 father
from continued crime anti in fervent
hope to spare the life of God's chosen

of It was after long
separation that Saul thus drew near tc
tate revered plan of God anti the com-
pany of prophets, the only occasion
on which Samuel, David and Saul were
present at the same time and place,
To protect David from Saul's messen-
gers were restrained from carrying out
position to Saui's designs, the messen-
gers weer restrained from carrying out
their orders. The divine power was
exercised, first upon Saul's men and
then upon himself. As each band saw
the venerated Samuel stand at the
bead of the prophets, they feared to
do violence to one under such august
protection. Hitherto Saul appeared to
be fighting solely against David, but
when the spirit of prophecy came upon
his messengers and rendered them
helpless, it was obvious that he was
fighting against God. Snell knowledge
added to his mental confusion, though
not sufficiently to subdue his wild
passion. p on His bodily manifestations
were not marks of grace, but indicated
a moral state at variance with the

to change a persecuting monarch into

A press bulletin issued recently by
the Census and Statistics Office, gives
the results of the usual annual inquiry
as to the stocks of grain and other
crops remaining in the hands of the
farmers oil 111areh 31st, and the pro -
Portion of the crops harvested in the
previous year which turned out to be
of merchantable quality. The returns
received front crop -reporting corres-
pondents show that of the total estI-
matcd yield of wheat in 1914, 12 1-2
Per cent., or 20,247,0(10 bushels roma:n-
ed in farmers hands at the end of
Marcs, At the rate of 1 3-4 bushels
per acre this quantity should allow of
the sowing this spring of about 11,-
570,000 acres, or 1,522,000 acres more
than wer:t sown in tate spring of 1914,
independently of quantities of wheat
stored ;;i elevators, which may be re-
turned to farmers for seeding pur-
poses. The quantity of wheat re
mining this year in the hands of
farmers is, however, mailer than in
any previous year on record, the light
crop and the high price being together
responsible for this result. In 1914
the quantity of wheat estimated to be
in farriers' hands at March 31st ivas
38,353,000 bushe
bushels, lir 16 1-2 percent.t,
of the large harvest of 1913; in ]91,,3
,
at itlarch ;list, the proportion was 22
per cent., or (.0,234,000 bushels, and at
March 31st 1912it was27 per cent.,.
,
or 02,183,.A0 bushels. ,
Of the remaining grain crops the
proportions of the previous year's pro-
duction estimated to be in farmers'
hands on March 31st, are also smaller
than in any former year on record.
Oats show a balance of 85,843,000
bushels, or 27 per cent.; barley, 7,430,-
400 bushels, or 20 1-2 per cent.; rye,
343,700 bus'lela, or 17 per cent,; buck-
wheat, 1,792,500 bushels, or 21 per
cent.; corn for husking, 2,928,000 bush-
els, on 21 per cent.; and flaxseed,
740,700 bushels, or 10 per cent. Of
potatoes, which gave the excellent
yleld last veer of 83,672,000 bushels,
310 h
37,7 per cent.,or32,310,000 bushels
were in farmers' ands on March 31st,
this proportion being larger than in
any of the, last five years,
excepting
g
1913, when 43 per cent., or 30,019,000
bushels, or 15 per cent, remained over,
and of hay and clover the quantity in
farmer;:* hands is placed at 2,17.,n
,000
tons, or 21 per cent, of the total crop
of 10,259,000 tons.
Out of the total wheat crop of 161,-
280,000 bushels, all but 6 1-2 per cent.,
or 150,793,000 bushels proved to be of
merchantable quality. This percent-
age, although below the exceptional
record of 1914, when the proportion
non -merchantable was less than 3 per
cent., is about equal to the average of
the last six years, during which the
lowest merchantable grain was in
1910-11 after the poor season of 1910,
when 12,8 per cent. wan estimated to
be of non -merchantable quality, The
proportions of other crops in 1914,
which proved to be of merchantable
quality aro as follows: Oats, 91. per
cent. (285,988,000 bushels), barley, 88
per cent. (32,022,00(1 bushels), rye, 9U
per cent, (1,815,000 bushels), buck-
wheat, 84 per cent., (7,279,000 bushels,
corn for husking, 80 per cent, (11,-
100.000 bushels), flaxseed, 88 per cent
(6,370,2(10 l,aehels), potatoes, 86 per
cent (74,1011,000 bushels), turnips,
etc., 87 per cent. (60,218,000 bushels),
and hay and clover, 88 per cent. (9,-
094,000 tons).

ever, matters would have been much
worse had the winter been of normal
severity. An early spring was anti-
cipated, and the prospects for the
coming season were hopeful. Farm-
ers were preparing for a big increase
in the acreage to be seeded, their ef-
forts being facilitated by the large
amount of fall plowing completed last
year.
