British Connection
Dublin, Irish Free State—President
Eamon de Valera introduced in the

to recommend appropriations from
the representative of the Crown to

of citizens to appeal to the Privy
Council. Action on them is expected

Why Not Licenses for Bicycles?
In this enlightened age, when all
persons, operating cars, etc., on the
roads have to pass examinations be-
fore they are permitted to drive, why
is it that anyone can ride a bicycte
on the roadsa
and not need a license.
A large majority of the'accidents in-
volving bicycles are caused by the
person riding the bicycle breaking 'a
traffic law, but they seem to be ex-
empt.from these bothers. It is only
fair to the motorists that people us-
ing bicycles shouldunderstand the
"rules of the road". A large fee is
not necessary but a test of knowledge.
of these rules would help make the
,highways and streets a lot safer for
all parties concerned.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
SAMUEL
Sunday, August 20th
I Samuel 3, 7, 12.
Golden Tex --Serve the Lord with
all your heart.{I Samuel 12:20).
It is often said that the reason why
certain men and women turn away
from God and everything religious in
n their mature years' is that they lied,
4 too much religion forced on them
- when they were children. There, may
e be some truth in this if the sort of
religion they saw as: children was
counterfeit -hypocritical,. Pharisaical,
lacking any real heart or life, But if
by "religious"we mean that which
as truly binds us to God, real fellowship
e with` God, " itis inpossible to have'
"too muchof this: For fellowship
with God means the only normal life
there is, the only life of real health,
happiness, joy. Samuel is..a good 'ex-
hibit' in the case. •

Murray' says the two year old seed
grew as well as any in his garden.

Cow Falls Into Well
There was . excitement at Mr. E.
Mason's one morning lastweek when
a valuable cow fell in the well near
the barn.`' Theneighbors responded
to the S.O.S. and built a derrick over
the well, but the horses that were
drawing the cow out stepped out too
quickly --the rope broke—the cow was
back in the well! When the rope was
ready again a second attempt was
made and the men placed planks ov-
er the well to prevent a similar ••oc-
currence; but alas the planks spread
apart and the poor cow journeyed
(none -too gently) to the bottom of
the well for the third time. At the
next attempt the rescue was affected
and the cow isn't much worse for
her experience. If she could only
talk she wo&tld likely say "All's well
that ends well,''—Exeter Times -Ad-

Pig Causes Accident
While motoring to her home here
from Detroit, Miss Kathleen Pye, R
N., encountered .a pig on the Blue
Water Highway about five miles the
other side of Bayfield, and in swerv-
ing her machine to avoid hitting the
porker, she apparently turned too ab-
ruptly on the highway, with the re-
sult that . the car somersaulted into
the ditch and came to a standstill
with all four wheels pointing up-
wards. Parties who witnessed the,
mishap rushed to the rescue, expect-
ing to find the motorist badly injured
in the 'spill, but their surprise can be
better imagined than described, when
she emerged from the mishap unhurt.

his birth. His mother Hannah not
only so promised him, but she kept
her promise and brought him to the
house of the Lord when he was a lit-
tle fellow for life-long service. He
became one of the outstanding char-
acters in all history; a little child of
delightful character, a grown man
commanding the respect of all who.
knew hire, a judge and ruler in Is-
rael who established righteousness
and led the people in victory over
their enemies, finally ending a long
life with counsels of 'unerring 'wis-
dom to God's people.
The priest, Eli, was a broken old.
man, weak spiritually, incompetent,
and his sons were an open abomina-
tion and shame in their high office as
priests. Yet"the child Samuel min-
istered unto the Lord before Eli"
There follows a remarkable state-
ment:
"And the word of the Lord was
precious in those days; there was no
open vision."
In other words, there were no men
living so close to the Lord that He
could speak to thein and through
them. So He had to take a little toy
as His mouthpiece and messenger,
"Samuel was laid down to sleep"
one night, when he heard his name
called. He answered at once: "Here
am I," and ran to the old priest Eli
for orders. "I called not; lie down
again," said the old man. The boy
obeyed.
Again he heard his name called,
Again he reported to Eli, sore that
he had been called; again he received
the same answer and went back to
his bed.
A third time the same thing oc-
curred, and now "Eli perceived that
the Lord had called the child." In-
deed, we are told plainly in the first
place that "the Lord called Samuel,"
and each time thereafter. Eli told the
little fellow that if the call came
again he should say: "Speak, Lord;
for Thy servant heareth."
A fourth time the Lord called,this
time Samuel's name being repeated
twice, and the boy made the right
answer.
The Lord told him that He was
about to do something extraordinary,

hear: He must judge Eli's house fo
the sins of his sons, and for the fa
ther's sin in that "he restrained them
not."
Samuel lay down to sleep, and was
up early the next morning at his us-
ual duties in caring for the house of
the Lord. He was afraid to tell Eli
what had been told hire, but the
priest insisted that he should, so
"Samuel told him every whit, and hid
nothing from him." The old man ac-
cepted God's deserved judgment in
humility.
Samuel grew up, "and the Lord
was with, him, and did let none of
his words fall to the ground." All
Israel soon came -to know that "Sam-
uel was established to be 'a prophet
of the Lord," And God continued to
reveal Himself to Samuel.
The years s rise
d on • . the two w•o sons
of Eli were slain in battle, and Is-
rael was brought into subjection by
the Philistines. But they had at their
head now, a man who really knew
God and loved and, served Him; and
he told them that if they would re-
turn unto the Lord with their whole
heart, and put away their idol wor-
ship, they would be delivered from
their enemies. He gathered the
whole nation together, and prayed for
them. •It was a day of national fast-
ing :and repentance -which God al-
ways honors when it is genuine and.
humble.' If the nations would come
before God in that spirit today, there
can be no question of the blessings,
temporal and spiritual, that would
follow.
A severe test immediately carne,
The Philistines heard that all Israel
was gathered together„ -and they de-
ckled it would be a good time °'to'at-
tack them. Samuel continued to pray
and offered a sacrifice to the Lord,
"and the Lord heard him." •
The Philistines closed in on Israel;
"but the Lord thundereth with a
great thunder on that day upon the
Philistines and discomfited them; and
they were smitten before Israel."
The tide was turned, The Philis-
tines were conquered; and they came
no more into the coast of Israel; and
the hand of the Lord was against the
Philistines all the days of Samuel.
Tate righteousness is really prac-
tical.
Samuel had now become Israel's
r prophet, priest, and judge or ruler.,
- He went in annual circuits through-
out the whole nation, and led. the
people in their. worship of God.
When he becameanold man "he
made his sons judges over Israel,"
But his sons proved to be unworthy,
corrupt, bribe-takers,and the people
went to Samuel and demanded: -"Now
make us a king' to judge us like all
the nations," How often God's peo-
ple have wanted to be like the rest
of the, world! It never pays.
But -the Lord let the people have
their way, and told Samuel to beetle.
en unto them; for they have not re-
jected thee, but they have rejected
Me, that 1 should not reign over
them". Saul, the kind 'of king the
people wanted, was brought inter

as events proved.

of what happened under the new
