Samuel was the last of the judges. Israel desired a Ling that she might be. like the nations around about. So Samuel, under God's guidance anointed the first two kings, The first one, Saul. is an example of • those who take public office humbly but later become proud and forget God, Tragic is the 15010 ft he tittered the night before he died on his OW0 sword. "God is departed front toe, and answereth lne no more, neither by prophets. nor by dreams." David was of the tribe of Judah and was made king by that tribe following Saul's death, Seven and a half years later lifter the assassin- ation of Saul's son, the other tribes invited David to he king over them. He thus became ruler over the whole kingdom. After thirty-three years his son 'Solomon succeeded to the throne. Under hint the king- 11oln reached its clima0 of prosperity anti magnificence. 1'lle temple was built in Jerusalem. Whereas David had been a man of war, Solomon enjoyed peace. However, Solomon's many heathen wives led him away from the worship of the true God and the seeds of disintegration be- gan to sprout, On his death the leingdotttl was divided. David, the shepherd who became King and statesman was also a poset and musician. Many of the Psalms were written by him and bring great comfort today. Though the grievously sinned in the affair of Uriah the Hittite, he deeply repent- ed and was forgiven. Tile genuine- ness of his repentance is echoed in the 51st Psalm The King of Kings, Jesus Christ has IIis human lineage from David, The glory of His everlasting king- dom will be greater far than any that have ever been, Well might the Queen Victoria have said, 'I would like to have the honour or laying my crown at his feet."

'huff said, especially as it's snowing. One day, last week, tired of wait- ing for a good day, I [vent to Tor- onto—in the rain. I paddled around with rubbers and an umbrella most of the day, had lunch "where all Toronto meets" and then, tired of shopping. 1 visited my ill -laws in the Moore Park district. 1'o get there 1 took a Mount Pleasant bus and went along the new speedway that ryas opened Last year. Speed- way is right. It tools only ten min- utes to go from Adelaide to Ingle- wood Drive. When I got off the bus 1 stood for a minute watching the cars go by. The pace was tcrrf- fir. Time was when 1 didn't mind driving in the city at all—even when we had the old Model A—now I drive halfway and board ti bus. Before leaving for home 1 stop- ped off at Daughter's place, 1 want- ed to hear all the news as just recently she changed her job. Now she is in a publishing office, last Friday she was really thrilled. The girls in the office site w*as leaving clubbed together and gave her an electric tea -kettle and two lovely 01135 and saucers. 1 an: sure she felt she was leaving good friends behind her. Maybe she had a fele regrets —1 don't know. But that's the way of life—if we gain in 0(137 way we -lose 111 another. That, loo, was our feeling the nigh t the Budget was made public. Actually by paying more taxes we appear to be losing, hot if higher taxes•are a a110115 of greater aa- tioual ,and international security then we gain in the long run. Even the budget had its funny side -- everyone on their toes to hear the highlights — and then the Mac- Arthur affair stole the show. Evict] the return of the Stone of Scone was somewhat of ;an anti -Chinas and failed to create 1110011 excite- ment. The only thing new around Cain. ger Email is another calf --and be- ing of the attic variety it won't be here very long. The visitors we were expecting this week -end got as far as Toronto—and stayed there. Which is what I advised them to do when they telephoned—they had other friends to visit anyway. I knew they were conning up again in a few weeks time—and surely by then there will be some improve- ment in the weather. A nice heart-warming little inci- dent carne toy way yesterday, At a small bus terminal I was buying an evening paper. 'Pheoe was another woman there chattering away ex- citedly in broken English and point- ing to some little magazines on the paper rack.

But underneath it all there is still a deep and abiding love for the home of her childhood —where she grew from childhood to womanhood; where the dreams of yesterday slowly merged into the, reality of today. So it is with Can- adians born in some other :and be- yond the seas. Now they liave two loyalties ---the old and the nen?.

Just the book to give that friend of yours who hails from Winnipeg. He, or she will say "thank you"—and mean int Woman Finds Market For Old Trash The household "white elephant" has found a home at last. When Mrs, Helen McConnell rounded up her personal herd of unwanted trivia bacle in Iate 1949, she decided that someone probably could use the various odd items site had collected from the basement and attic. Site selected the names of 100 Denver women at random from the telephone book and sent then[ pos- tal cards inquiring whether they would be willing to swap their old knicicnacks for something they could use. Sixty-five enthusiastic replies in two weeks convinced her she had a future in the white elephant busi- ness. Her shop in Denver, the Bar- ter Mari, has been booming ever since. The amazing part of the venture is that customers can get a lot for a little through the use of counter- feit -proof wampum. This wampum is a paper scrip in one-quarter, one-half, five, 10, 20 and 50 denominations. One wam- pum is .worth 12 cents. When a customer comes into the shop for a trade-in, the un- wanted item is appraised by Mrs. McConnell. , She grants wampum according to her idea of its worth. Medium of Exchange Customers then swap- the wanr num for any article in the store. The mart is advertised as "the store with nothing to sell," but it earns for its owner through a service charge at each article, The more wampum required, the less the ser- vice charge, Barter Mart started in one tiny roonf with 18 of Mrs, McConnell's personal relics. Tlie rent was earn- ed the first day, Since then it has moved twice and expansion to still larger quarters is slated for the near future. - Since the first of the year 9,136 articles have been taken in and an estimated. 4,000 units of wampum are in cirulation. The venture has been so success- ful that Mrs. McConnell has sold franchises to several other cities. Get Many Inquiries In addition, the McConnells re- ceive hundreds of weekly inquiries . by letter and telephone from the United States, Canada and Mexico. The Mart handles every type of merchandise that a housewife could tab amonstrosity. For trade have been curling balls, early model gramophones, devices for curving field hockey sticks, diamond rings, horns on cattle ,atrieut automobiles, Siamese cats and bed pans, On a large hoard labeled: "We have calls for" is as offer of: "Ira- pert' expert will make drapes --your home -•-for two wampum per hour." Wednesday is family night at the Mart. A giveaway drawing has lured 200 persons into the shop on these nights. adios. McConnell' attributes her success to the fact that everyone loves to swap and a w'0111a11'5 !lair for the unusual. "Women would rather have want - num 111101 money," she said, "we have so much fun in here when we get a cackling hunch of women together; it's just like a circus." 01.1 LO Vg And the RELIEF IS LASTING For fast, prolonged relief from headache get INSTANTINE.
