was not only a commendation of their
regard for Saul, but it Was also, with-
out doubt, an net cf Lidlomacy, by
which he thought he might induct
Mem to accept ot him as king. Jo.-
besh became the scat of the northern
kingdom, which was ruled by Ish-
bosheth, the only surdving 5011 of
Saul. Abnerwas the military head
of the northern tribee and it was

L Accenting to diviue ordination.
David, the ntan after Gods own heart,
looked out on his opening prospeete
with a careful eye- was his genuine
piety. that prompted him to wait upon
Clod when trouble ceased and success
began. Past discipline had manifedly
wrought in David such -confidence in
the order of reovidence and
such breadth V vision with reepect to
divine methods, as to render him in-
different to tuaualowed suggestions.
He was a mueh stronger man as a
consequence of the protracted trials of
past years, than he would have been

rhe beginning of prosperity was ,a
time of peculiar danger \viten
nom subtle temptations would arise.
His final trinmph depended upon how
lico improced his partial suecess.' A
nan ot less' faith than David would
lave despaired of Witnessing the day
when the whole nation would, by a
a solemn act of coronation, fall in
\title the purpose of God. His cheerful
acceptanee of partial success was in
teeping with his former patient endur-
ance V deferred hope. It was to him a
pledge of still farther advance, until
God's original promise should be lit-
erally, and in ite entirety, be fulfilled.
It le to the honor of David that he re-
tainea amid. all the new and perilous
conditions his old tendernese of feel -
ng and noble generosity. His first re-
corded act after his aeeession to the
throne of Judah was of a kingly na-
ture, .that of sending a message of
Pence arra good -will to the 'men,of Je-
besh-Gatad. He would have theni

11. ily mutual covenant -wtth Israel.
BY tile death of Saul and Jonathan the
obstacles to David's accession to the
throne were removed in part only. Ab-
ner, captain of Saul's host, whooe per-
sonal motives induced him to act in
direct opposition to God, defeated the
earnest efforts of David to ward of
strife, so that it waft his bitter lot to
see the kingdom torn by civil war.
The time came after seven and one
halt years, when all Israel met to-do
what God intended should be done.
Through the loyalty of David the -
union wee effected. It was Israel's
duty to eeek Devid's leadership, as
wed as his to Undertake it. His enact-
ing be Samuel secured kis right to
he kingdom. His anointing by Israel
gave him authority over the kingdom.
David did not take that honor unto
Unwell -without being called of Gael
ane cleared by the people. His aceee-
tance of it was unselfisbe patrlotic
and devout. It =eked one of the
ereateseelays of Israel's history. The
approva of • jehovah rested on the
union tif the .tribes. The wisdom of
Da,vid's'eself-restraiitt in the days' of

FOR THE HOPS
First Report of Present Season
Very Favorable.
Fall Wheat Exceptional -Hay and
Clover Also.
Ottawa,- Ont., Deepatch-The census
aud statistics branch, Department of
Trade and Commerce, to -day issued
the first crop report of the present
Seamu. The report states:
"Owing to the mild winter anti tile
fesorable conditions wheal prevailed
during the pritical monthe at Meech
anti April, tee fall Wheat crop is re-
ported as being exceptionally good on
April 30. In oetario, witere 1,643,000
acres were sown, as estimated last Me,
nettle:ire than tee per cent. is reporteu
an wmter-kitled, and but Alberta, with
o0,000 acres estimated as sown, the
proportion winter killed 10 wily 6.2
per cent. These proportions are lower
than in any year since 1903-0 fur
Ontario, and lower than in ateY pre-
eious year an record for Alberta. Laet
year the percentage wInter-killed was
/9 in .Ontario and 15,6 in Alberta. .In
Ontario the area whiter -killed
amounts this year to 71;000 acres, aad
in Alberta to 14,300 acres.
"These figures, deducted from the
areas sown, leave 072,000 acres in On-
tario and 215,700 acres in Alberta as
the areas under fall wheat to be har-
vested. With 10,900 acres in. Manitoba,
4,100 acres in Saskatchewan and 0,000
acres in British Coulmbia; the total
area under fall Wheat to be harvested
this year amounts to 1,208,700 acres, as
compared with e73,300.acres, the area
harvested in 1914.
"As in the case of wheat, the amount
of winteracilled proved to be unusually
small in hay and clover meadows, not
more than 10 per cent. being the
estimate for all =nada, as compared
with 14 per cent,' last year and 22 per
.ectit in 1913. The average coudition
was 91 per cent. ot the standard or full

STILL SHIRKING
nitions Workers in North Bri-
tain Not Doing Duty,
London, May 17. -The Times' Glas-
gow correspondent, baying made a
careful inquiry, declares that the
conditions in the north of England
and the Scotland districts which are
producing war munitions are still ex-
ceedingly unsatisfactory, and that
they are likely to continue sci unless
a great elate takes place.
The correspondent says he finds -the
worst difficulty in the manipulation
by the trade unionists by which the
men work much below their capac-
ity. He acquits the trade union
leaders, who, be says, are doing their
best, of the responsibility, but says
the men themselves do not keep ehe
agreement with the Government to
relax their normal rules for limiting
work. They drag the operations in
a manner that is paralyzing efficient
productioh, and not only will not
work themselves, but will not allow
others to work, This is especially
noticeable in the an1MUllition, shops,
the correspondent adds, where it is
quite noticable to see the machines
and men standing idle, the men will-
ing to work but forbidden to do so
by the rules of the engineers' union.
Moreover, the correspondeet adds, in
conclusion, drink and lost time are
stilt serious questions. on the Clyde.
