Vl. NOVEMBER, 8. 1903. David's Grief Over Absalom. -;2 Sam. 18: 23-33 Commentary. -I. Thu battle array (vs. 1-8). 1. "Tite time was about three months after Absalom assumed the throne. 2. The place was the forest of Ephraim in Mount Gilead, plot lar from Mlahanaim, where Daviel w,as. This region is still covered with thick oaks and tangled bushes, and tli,orny creepers, growing over rugged rocks and ruinous precipices. 3. The army el' Absalom .must have been very much larger than David's, for 20,000 mon were slain, besides the many that escaped. But they had no such disciplines and organiza- tion as David's troop's, and no 'Old Guard' like David's band of 600 heroes. 4. The army of Daviel was divided into three divisions under three able generals." "Gideon had divided his handful into three, that he might make a simultaneous im- pression on three different parts of the Midianite host, and thus con- tribute the better to the defeat of the whole. so David divided,his army Into three, that, meeting Absalom's at three different points, he might prevent a. concentration of the en- emy that would have swallowed up his whole 'force."-l3laikie. II. The defeat and death of Ab- salom (vs. 0•-17). "Absalom met the servants of David" In battle, and was defeated. In his flight Absalom rode upon a mule. 'Tor him to ride up- on a mule -perhaps David's own - was a mark pf royalty (I Kings, 1. 38, 88). His head caught in the forked boughs of a tree, and he hung there, stunned and helpless. Perhaps his bong, thick hair got entangled, but there is noshing to support the com- mon idea that Absalom was suspend- ed merely by his hair." -Cambridge Josepilus says that his hair was "entangled" Then Joab took three darts and thrust them through the heart of Absalom. He alone felt strong enough to disobey the king. He did the act Ifor David's own sake. Joab held back the people from fur- ther slaughter. Absalom's body was cast intoe a pit and a great heap of stones thrown upon it. III. Tidings from the battle (vs. 19- 32). Swift runners brought the news from the battlefield to the king. 24. IV. Daviel mourns for Absalom (v. 83), 88. atiucb moved, seized with violemt trembling and grief. The chamber, An apartment in the'up- per part of the 'tower of one of the gates; the nearest place where he co 1.1 be a lone'. Wept- lou:Ili lane n ed. 0, my son, Absolom 1 There is not in the whole of the Old Testa- ment a passage of .deeper pathos than this. So leases (Ex. 82, 82) and so St. Pawl (lRiom. 9 8) would have sacrificed themselves, had it been possible, to save others. His wish to die in Absalom's stead was no mere extravagance of grief. Da- vid his own peace was made with God ; he could die at any time. If Absalom was spared in life, he might yet repent. -Hanna. PRACTICAL SURVEY. With mingled feelings of hope and feat', David awaits tidings from the Beene bf conflict. He hopes that the rebellious• people mal'.' be brought into subjection. But the king's greatest solicitude is lest in the battle his loved, though erring son should be killed: , Hope seems to be in the ascend. enc' as the watchman announces the coming of Abimaaz. "He is a good man and cometh with good tidings." says David. "It was the deep and genuine .syinpatey, of Abi-+ matte with what be knew were the most tender and sacred feelings of the king's heart that made him eag- er to go, and both gladden him' with the news of Goad's deliverance, and at the 'same time break the news of his parson ll loss." flow different, is the informer of enshi. "lie at onee communicates the news to him, in words that leave no doubt of his meaning. The great question• now is, "Is Ab- salom safe`?" The enemy. may be de- feated, but bow is it with Absalom?? lie father's love is too strong for him to find any' comfort in the de, feat and death of a, rebel, when that rebel is his own son. The news of victory is entirely overshadowed by. the news of Absalom's death ; to David it is disaster woeful and deep. Our hearts are touched as we read the. pathetic lament of the grief- stricken father. Many parents are asking the same man question to -day, "Is theyoung safe ?" They know that many nares and dangers lurk for their unsopeis- ticated feet, and of them all by far the most destructive is that omni- present peril, the authorized and duly llcensed saloon. It must be a fearful question to those fathers who have by their ballot endorsed a saloon party- or policy. Let us make the young, both sons and daughters, just as safe as ave can so far as their environments are concerned ; and even then, 'the only absolutely safe place is in being in possession of the grace of God, in having the heart changed and kept by ,divine power. "The inheritance of a rich nature with fine sensibilities is not a pledge of safety. One of the greatest evils In the world is disobedience to par- ents." •"God's great love: for us is seen in this, that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us (Rom. v. 8). Ho actually did for us what David longed to do for Absolom." ¶Lho two ga,tes-The heavy fortifica- tions had probably an outer and an Inner gate at the base of a battle- mentea tower, in which was a "cham- ber" (v. 3;i). On the fiat roof of this tower, but shaded from public view, David waited to hear tidings of tee battle. Watehman-Every gate and outpost of the tower would be guard- ed by vigilant watchmen at such a time. Roof -The flat roof of the gateway on the side of the outer wall. "T,he picture of the anxious watcher at the gate of Mahanaim gives us a faint iusighrt into the heart of the Father above." 25-28. If he be alone -David Judged that if the man was running alone lie was bringing news from the bat- tle. If the army had been routetl, many fugitives would have been com- ing toegther. Unto the porter -Ono stood on the top of the tower, and the other was below to attend to opening and closing the gate. A good man -David had had proof of his fi- delity during the progress of the war, and was sure that such as he would not be chosen for the thank- less work of bearing bad news. All Is well -This in the Ilebrew is one word, "Peace." It was the usual word of greeting. Fell down -An act of homage to the king. Delivered up - Literally, "shut up," restrained and confined t-itein bounds, instead of leaving them at large. 29. is Absalom safe -There is a tenderness in the words which re- veals tiie yearning of the fatnerly heart. He seems more anxious about the welfare of the "young man" than about the issue of the battle. Is the young man safe ? „Phis is a queston every parent and every friend of young men should ask. Is the young man safe from intemperance, from bad companions, from b ad books, from dishonest conduct, from bad habits ? Is he safe in Jesus Christ ? Is he sate in a good home aaid among good influences? Is he sale for this world ? Is rte sale for eternity ? Ask yourself, also, what you are doing to make blin and keep him safe. 80-82. Stand here.

Bottle of Liquozone and Give it to You to Try. I,iquozone-liquid oxygen -is the only product that can kill germs in the body without killing you. No man knows any other way to destroy the cause of any germ disease. It is new to America, and millions who need it don't know of it. ror that reason we snake this remarkable offer. We will buy the first bottle and give it to you if you need it. We will do it willingly, gladly, to convince you at once and for- ever that Liquozone does kill germs. We Paid $100000 for the rights to Liquozone for America. We tested this product for years in the most difficult germ diseases ; then we bought these rights for the highest price ever paid for a scientific discovery. We paid that price because Liquozone does what all the skill in the world can- not do without it. Any drug that kills germs is a poison to you and it cannot be taken internally. The best physicians, the world over, employ Liquozonealone for germ troubles ; and any physician who doesn't is almost helpless in any germ disease Just Oxygen. Liquozone is simply liquid oxygen -no drugs, no alcohol in it. Itisthe discovery pf Pauli, the great German chemist, who spent 20 years on it. His object was to get such an excess of ox',pgen in staple form into the blood that no germ could live in any membrane or tissue. Liquozone does that. The results are so certain that we publish on every bottle an offer of $x,000 for a germ that it can- not kill. Vet oxygen is Nature's greatest tonic -the very source of your vitality. Its effects are exhilarating, purifying, vitalizing. But germs are vegetables; and this excess of oxygen -the very life of an animal -is deadly to vegetable matter. We spend r4 days in making each bot- tle of Liquozone, and the result is liquid oxygen -the best thing in the world for you, yet certain destruction to disease germs, wherever the Liquozone-laden blood goes. Germ Diseases.T These are the known germ diseases. All that medicine can do for these troubles is to help Nature overcome the germs, and such results are indirect and un- certain. Liquozone kills the germs, wherever they are, and the results are inevitable, I3y destroying the cause of the trouble, it invariably ends the disease, and forever.

Thegreat prosperity of this land of opportunity has recently been marked by a clistingniE1l d visitor, Hon. Hamilton Fish, Assistant United States Treasurer. Mr. Fish " saw nothing that impressed him more than the LARGE BUSINESS being done on the Pacific Coast, the ap- parent PERMANENCY of its prosper- ity, and the NEED of more WORK- ERS." The basis of this prosperity is first of all CLIMATE, then ELECTRI- CAL ENERGY manufa:0turers, and finally IRRIGA- TION. Given WATER to turn on at will, in a country so full of SUN - SHOE, and growth is continuous. Something is growing EERY MONTH to put on the table, to fatten stock, or carry to market. ONE ACRE of alfalfa will support one cow as pasture, and for hay can bo cut five times a year. Larger than England and Scotland combined, California has ROOM for a MILLION IXORE people, and this make:: land CHEAP, i and OPl'ORT,CNITY GREAT. A ST'LF- SUSTAINING home, the VALUE of which will RAPIDLY INCRE.ISE, can EASILY be secured where life means COMFORT as well as COIN. Thus, Glenn County farms aver- age 1,595 acres each, and there are but two children to the square mile. Yet Glenn County has plenty of rain and can support as dense a popula- tion as the valley of the Po in Italy. Forty families can bo provided for where one now lives. The great ranches are now being broken up and this makes lend cheap. Books about California will be sent free to any address. Tho San Joaquin valley is 250 miles long .by 60 miles wide, and the book describing it has 100 pages, well illustrated. An easy and com- fortable living can be made on 40 acres by keeping cows or raising alfalfa for market. Water is plenty and terms for land are easy. COLONIST RATES now make it easy to see how it is yourself. They are based on a rate of $33 from Chi- cago, or $25 from Missouri River points, via. Southern Pacific. Cali- fornia books can be had of any agent. Write to F. B. Choate, Gen. Agent, Detroit. Mich.

Three creameries of the creamy eriss foimeily managL.d were closed by the Le1.artmcnL in 1902, owing to the lack of sufficient patronage.. The failure of the farmers in this dis- tricts ietiicts to support the creameries dole not appear to arise from any leek of confidence in tiie dairy business, but, simply because they are now in ie position to go into she stook raising, and grain growing and because they, prefer the latter means of livelihood. Tile changes of Lhe past few years have altered the aspect of farming operations in many parts of the Northwest. Last year five car loads of butter from the Government creameries were exported to Great Britain; one carload was sold for ixe port to Queenalancl, Australia, and: shipments were also made to China, Japan and the Yukon. The re-, mainder was disposed of in local and British, Columbia markets. Up to Oct. lst of this year, the output of butter from the Govern- ment creameries exceeded that of last year by; 10(1,000 'pounds. The Increase has been mainly in Alberta. This year all the butter has been taken by, the markets of Western Canada, or bas been exported to the Orient, none have been shipped to Great 13ri- tain. The exhibit of Canadian dairy products at the groat Japanese Ex- position at Osaka was an excellent advertisement, and has already' borne fruit ; three new customers for butte.' have already' been secured by, the department in that country as a direct result o8 that exhibition. The trade in butter for the Orient is for the European residents there, and not for natives, and Mr. J. A. Ruddick, Chief of the Dairy Division, hopes also to develop an extensive trade with the warships touching at Nagasaki for coal. It is a good thing that this trade with the Orient has been worked up by the govern- ment creameries, an it requires some financing, and could scarcely' be handicd lye well by private enterprdsel as It le necessary' to have every fa- cility foe studying the markets] and also to be in a position to ship at once on receipt of cablegram. In the case of the trade with the warships for instances. Tiley sometimes 5tayi several weeks at this coaling station' and in that time it would be possible to get a supply of fresh butter tO them from Canada. Part of the but-, ter chipped this season, especialli' in the summer months, went forward in tins, blit a considerable gtrantitgj has also been sent in boxes of as- sorted nines. It stands the journey very well In tha latter, and has been reported xri very good condition on' arrival. The Yukon trade is la- ereasing, and rl'ie"i''nts lin re been made to that district in boxes aisgil
