SHARP CHAPTER FIVE (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. Chino taken care of that nieddlin' Judge Anders when lie tried to stip in the back way. You gummed the cards, you drunken fool. Say, who put Webb Winters on our Trail, anyhow? Tell me the answer to that?" "He's been wise for a long time, So has Hanle Roberts. That's why I tool: that shot at Roberts to- night. Dropped him the first shot, and in a bad light, too. One sheriff less, and the Hoot -Owl Pool Bits the blame. We'd be sittin' on the world if you hadn't made a fool ,u£ yourself over that girl. I bet you offered to marry her." "Supposin' I did? She jumped at it like a trout after a fly. He was goin' to elope. She never liked Bob Anderson. She hates Webb Winters. But she shore fell like a. ton of bricks for Ab Abbot and the Triangle outfit.

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.
