(Continued from last week)
"Take care of her, Ma," said the
sheriff, his voice coming thickly
through the bandages on his face.
"I'll 'tend to Abbot."
Ab Abbot and Joe Blake were
pushing their horses hard. They
cursed one another as they rode.
"ain't I told you not to monkey
with that girl, Abbot?" snarled Joe
Blake. "You thinkili she was stuck
on you. As if any purty girl would
lie stuck on a big hunk of red
taller like you. And you talked
aplenty I bet after you got drunk,
She leads you along, then busts
out through the window," He
chuckled.
Ab Abbot cursed him back. "She
was eatin' outa my hand when you
busted into the gauge. She set there,
talkin' and flirtin' with her eyes.

By Rev. R. B. Warren, B.A , B.D.
Samuel, the Upright Judge

Golden Text: And Samuel grew,
and the Lord was with him, and
did let none. of his words fall to
the ground.—I Samuel 3:19.
A period of transition is always
a time of testing. Samuel, the last
of the judges of Israel, saw the
people change from this type of
government to a monarchy. They
had no fault to find with Samuel.
Said they, "Thou hast not defraud-
ed us, nor oppressed us ,neither
!cast thou taken ought of any man's
hand." Unfortunately, "his sons
walked not in his ways, but turned
aside after lucre, and took bribes,
and perverted judgment," The people
said, "Behold, thou art old, and
thy sons walk not in thy ways:
now make us a king to judge us
like all the nations." God spoke
to Samuel, "They have not re-
jected thee, but they have rejected
Me, that I should not rule over
them."
Samuel proceeded to establish a
monarchy, though warning them of
the increased taxes that would en-
sue. When he stepped aside from
the leadership, he said, "God for-
bid that I should silt against the
Lord in ceasing to pray for you:
but I will teach you the good and
right way." Not everyone steps
down from leadership with such
graciousness.
A nation is no greater than its
leaders. Leaders ought to be de-
vout mien who prize God's favor
above the people's applause. They
ought to be examples of godliness
in their private lives. In public
policy they ought to act upon those
principles that will tend to the
moral upbuiiding of the nation. God
will bless the nation which has such
leaders.
