IS. S. LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 3
Lesson Topic—Dayid.
Lesson Passage -1 Samuel 16:4-13,
Psalm 78:70-72.
Golden Text—I Samuel 16:7.
David, the youngest son of Jesse of
•tine tribe of Judah, was born in Beth-
lehem, according to the comwnon
reckoning, B. C. 1085. White a fugi-
tive from Saul, he headed a band of
freebooters whose centre of opera-
tion was the cave of Adullam. On the
death of Saul, the tribe of Judah
—chase David king, and he reigned for
seven years at 4Hebr•on. After a time
matters came to a climax and the
whole twelve tribes cam under pay -
id's sway and Jerusalem became the
capital. The character of David has
been
very • ditferentl y • judged. In his
own day he was t1ie idol of his peo-
ple, to the subsequent prophets and
priests he was the model king; to
the later Jews his kingdom typified
the Kingdom of the Messiah, of whom
he was himself a type. His piety, his
zeal for Jehovah, his tender contpas-
s;ion, his generous sympathy, his bold
enterprise, h{ie dauntless courage, en-
title him to admiration. He is recog-
nized as the worthy leader kit' the
chosen people, and, next to Abraham
the Father of the Faithful, comes
David, the man after God's own
heart. Some wr•it.ers have sought to
,emphasize his faults so that they
Might sneer at his religion. But the
best 'reputation of this detraction is
the Bible record, so free from flat-
tery, so candid and comprehensive,
and yet leaving the impression that
its subject was a hero, a man cast
in a rare mould. He comes before us
in every light—as shepherd. -musician.
Champion, courtier, fugitive, chief,
warrior, king; what life could be
more varied? In a more domestic
sway 'he appears as obedient son, re-
spectful younger brother, modest
youth, ardent lover, faithful friend.
tender 'husband and indulgent father.
All along the line of his development,
private and public, his piety is mark-
ed. The psalms he wrote attest the
depth of his love for God, and his
unwavering confidence. His character
was essentially the sante from the
+days when under the glistening stars,
as boyish poet, he sang, "The heav-
ens dreclare the glory of God," until
the, day when as aged monarchs it
was said of him, "The prayers of
David, the son of Jesse, ars ended."
He was by no means perfect. He was
compassed with infirmities, but he
• enour?ted his defections and was ,par-
do'ned. The struggle with his pas-
sionate nature, strong and proud, was
kept up incessantly, and, though oft
defeated, he conquered at last. The
sins for which he is to -day mocked
were precisely those of an Oriental
king. (Hie was the, man after God's
own heart, not in his sins, but in his
lrepentance•anlain his earnest effort
after a higher and purer life. He re-
mains forever the "Sweet Singer of
Israel," and the Father of. Hebrew

was apparent in many ways in Dav-
id Livingstone's character. He modi-
field the democratic influence of his
early years, when he lived among the
cotton spinners of Lanarkshire. It
enabled hint to enter more readily
into the relations of the African
tribes to their chiefs. It showed' itself
in the dash and daring•which were so
rlemarkalbly camibined in him with
Saxon forethought and persevesanee!
The many -sidedness of his character
showed itself early;. for not content
with reading, he used to scour the
eountry in search of botanical, geo-
logical and zoological speciinens.
lIt was about his twentieth year
that the great spiritual change took
place which d•eterined the course
of, Livingstone's future life, There
can be no doubt that David L.iving-
; tone's heart was very thoroughly
penetrated by the new life that now
flowed into it. He did not merely ap-
prehend the truth -,--the truth laid
hold of hint. The Divine blessing
flowed into him as it flowed into the
heart of St. Paul, St. Augustine, and
others of that type, subduing all
earthly desires and wishes. The love
that began to stir his heart in his
lather's house continued to move him
all through his dreary African jour-
neys., arid was still in full play on
that lonely midnight when he knelt
at his 'bedside in the hut in Ilale, and
his spirit returned to his God and
'Saviour.
WORLD MISSION'S
David Livingstone
(By W. G. Blaikie, D.D.)
Livingstone has told us most that
is known of his fore -fathers; how his
great-grandfather fell at Culloden,
fighting for the old line of kings, how
his .grandfather could go hack for six
generations of his fancily before him,
giving the particulars of each, and
crow the only tradition he himself felt
proud of was that of the old man
who had never heard of any person
in the family 'being. guilty of dishon-
esty, and who 'charged his childre
never to introduce the' vice. He used
also to tell his children. when spur-
ring them to diligence at school, that
neither had. he ever heard of a Liv-
ingston who was a donkey.

Ontario Egg Situation
"In Ontario, as practically over the
whole of Canada,' said T. A. Ben=
son, Federal Poultry Branch, Toron-
to, "the production of eggs has drop-
ped;, and with any increase in de-
mand' may easily ;drop below the level
of consuereption.
"The lack of an alctilve demand
for eggs from Ontario, and to some
extent on the Ontario markets has
caused a temporary further reduc-•
lion in prices, This condition, how-
ever, is not unusual at this season
and may result in a somewhat in-
creased consumption, as indicated by
a better clearance of eggs on the
market early this week.
"Receipts on the Montreal market
as of August 8th were considerably
lighter than those of the same date
"last year. All 'this may herald the
turn of the market in an upward di-
rection, 'which is about due. Usual-
ly such a turn comes quite quickly at
this season.,,
"E;very'thing would appear to de-
pend upon consumptive demand ra-
ther than upon any likelihood of in-
creased supplies. Although to some
extent economic conditions have
handicapped sales of the higher
grades, the demand for extra would
appear to be increasing at the larger
centres.'t- ,
Lake Superior's Volcano
(From the Owen Sound Sun -Times)
!How many vessels have been lost
over the submerged volcano in the
middle of Lake Superior? For the
last two or three years "the Lake
Superior shoal" has been marked on
marine maps, and so is not now the
menace to shipping that it once was.
But previous to that charts showed
168 fathoms of water there. To -day
the peak of the volcanic outcrop reef,
six miles in length, is marked 31/2
fathom or 18 feet. There are ships
navigating Superior drawing more
than that. The shoal is unmarked:
The wreck of a ,ship lies close to
the peak of theold volcano. When
a U. S.' Hydrographic ship sailed out
to investigate the shoal the sounding
apparatus set to ring at 20 fathoms
found the shallow water. The Do-
minion •Department of Marine sent
its steamer Bayfield, and its lead hit
the deck of a sunken ship. The"grap-
pling iron was caught in a piece of
rigging, which gave considerably,
but could not be brought to the sur-
face. I1owe'ver, a new axe was re-
covered from the sunken ship.
A Volcano in Action.
At least three ships reported their
experiences at the shoals previous to
all this. The old Algoma Central
Railway freighter. Leafield, had a
terrifying passage across the shoal
190*). The weather *as 'fine and
the sea as, smooth as glass. The
ship expected to begin. unloading
its cargo rel' steel rails from the Soo
promptly on its arrival at Fort Wil-
liam. So that there would be no
time, lost in removing tarpaulins
then. preparations had been begun
to remove the coverings of two of.
them, Suddenly the lake began to
hoil all around the Leafieltl,, Waves
came over hoot' sides.. Foe 20 or 30
minutes the storm continued without
a breeze. Then suddenly the lake be-
came calm again.
When the ship reached Fort Wil-
liam the crew read about the earth-
quake that had been recorded over
a considerable part of the earth's
surface. The officers of the ship be-
lieved that they had passed aver an
"extinct" volcano, that had been af-
fected by the general seismic dis-
turbance Brut mariners scoffed at
the story.
' Emperor Hit the Shoal.
Capt. Dave Burk of the Emperor,
on his way to Fort Williaim had been
supplied with coal at the Soo that
had been recovered from a ship that
.sisal gunk. About iMiehipicoten Ise
land he started to use this clean fuel.
It was hard to handle; running over
the bars of the fire box. So the
ship was stopped and a certain a-
mount of water ballast put into her
to prevent her drifting while the
grates were (being cleaned. Sudden-
ly the ship bumped on a sunken nock
The charts stowed 169 fathoms or
1840 feet of Water in the area, Capt.
Burke told the story at.Fort William
to incredulous mariners. '
IThe James E, 'Davidson, down from
Slate Island In Lake Superior during
a snowstorm in, Novemiber received to
head on sea aver her 'bow. The weight
of the water on her deck released
the device for heaving her two an-
chors. The chains snapped and the
sea poured into the bow through the
damaged hawse holes. The fore part
of the ship settled several feet. When
she finally reached port the ship was
almost foundering, drawing 26 feet
of water at the bow. And on the
fore part of the (tortoni of the ship
was ,an immense dent, ten feet long,
the result of her slmlashing down on
a rook ---a jar which had been felt by
everybody on board. The scoffers
looked at the dent and- thought there
must have been something in .'the
captain's story.
The Tragedy of the Trawlers.
Three trawlers were built at Fort
William ,in 1918 for the allies. They
left there on November 22nd -'in a
howling gale, in charge of some salt
water men. Two„of them were nev-
er heard of again, and the third acci-
dentally sighted Michipicoten Island
through a snow storm and found' re-
fuge in Couzin's .Cove there. Sixty-
six men were lost in the other two.
Lake sailors havethat, an idea at, t he.
wreck found on "The Lake Superior
Shoal" is one of the trawlers. No-
body knows how many ships have
left their bones there..
The submerged ' volcano is also
mentioned as a passible solution of
the "Leafield” mystery. Also about
10 years ago the "Midland 'Prince,"
in charge' of Capt. Arch. 1Melntyre,
reported ''bumping in this vicinity.
But though the Department of
Marine has all the story, the ma-
riners cannot get the whistling
buoy they have asked for on the
peak of the old volcano. It has been
urged that the need is great, but
the Department says it hasn't the
money., A buoy like the one on
Seguin Bank is suggested.
If the "officials of the Marine, De-
partment had to sail • Lake Superior
they would speedily find the money
to warn ships away from the rocky
ridge in the centre of that vast ex-
panse of 'water. ,
The Funny Papers
Of 2300 U, S. daily newspapers,
only two of any importance, (New
'York Times, Boston Transcript) see
lit to exist without funnies. There
are 230 comic strips now appearing,'
and some 20 comic -strip headliners
eve paid at least $1,000 a week for
their labors. It is an old publishing
axion that features, not news, mean
steady circulation and comic strips
are the most popular feature in news-
papers.
If you want to -become a comic
artist the first point is to stay away
from art schools. The •• academic
training is likely to give you an Il-
lustrator's ' technic. Your • wisest
course would be to get a job as of-
fice boy in the art department of a
syndicate. You will get your tra]n-
ing by imitating the local stripper
By and by one would let you do the
lettering for hip "'balloons" (i.e., dia-
logue), 'pa in *backgrounds, suggest
gags. Then you might rise to the
position of becoming his understudy,
doing the whole strip when he was
unwilling or unable to turn it out
himself. You night even become his
successor, for syndicates own the
copyright to most strips ' and- so are
able to substitute a new artist for
the original creator" Thus for two
years Eddie 'McBride has carried on
Mr. and Mrs., the f mous creation of
tilt late, Clare Briggs .in the New
York Herald Tribune, • But lest you
become'so imitative that you can
never 'become creative, you had bet-
ter devote your spare time to devis-
ing a strip of your own.• And—per-
haps in• one year, perhaps in ten—, -
some syndicate may decided to give
it a trial.
If you have acquired a strip of
your own you will probably occupy
a studio with several. others of your
kind. It will take you from two to
three hours to draw a daily strip
(four or five panels) and from eight
to ten hours to draw a Sunday page
(usually 12 panels). The Sunday
page is also a color page, but this
does not bother you because you
make a black -and -white outline and
the syndicate takes care of the color-
ing. The fact that you have to "be
funny" every day of every week nev-
er ceases to bother you. But after a
year r so you realize that nobody
expe your strip to be excruciating-
ly fu ,ny on all occasions.
'No ting looks more serious than
a cot is artist bent over his drawing
hoar , whittling out his little crea-
ture • with all the verve and elan of
a 'h icklayer laying bricks. But the
coin c artist usually develops a very
hea hy ego. "This is the :best strip
in t to world,' Percy t roshy (Skippy)•
used to tell his syndicate, 8idney
Smith feels that Andy Gump consti-
tutes a valuable human ,d6'tument
which archaeologists of the future will
no doubt unearth with glad cries.
Mr. Smith has a six-foot bronze sta-
tue of Mr. Gump on his Lake Geneva
estate. Mr. ;Hlam .Fisher, whose Joe
Palooka has been one of the great-
est successes of recent years, is quite
definitely of the opinion that Palooka
is the leading comic character pro-
duced hy the Fisher tribe, despite
the fact that another Fisher, Harry
Conway (Bud), no relative of Hain's,
retains a wirier fame with Mutt and'
,Jeff, Bud Fisher has, in Mutt and
Jeff, the oldest strip still living and
the first of the daily strips. Back
in his early San Francisco days he.
went around telling other cartoon-
ists that he was ,goiti.g to have the
most popular strip in the world and
make a million dollars out of it.
This game his fellow worktrs a loud
laugh until Fisher did have the most
popular strip and did make a good
deal more than a million from it.
As a cartoonist, you work under
certain definite taboos. You can not
show a character taking a drink, or
drunk. You can show the•' Wife char-
acter assaulting the 'Husband with
fists; dishes, rolling pins, fingernails,*
and all manner of miscellaneous wea-
pons, but you cannot show the Hes-
band inflicting reprisale on the Wife.

dashes, exclamation marks, and stars
may indicate expletives. Advertisers
must never be offended. Once Cliff
Sterrett (Polly and Her Pals) drew
a strip in which a bullet-proof vest,
after resisting bullets, axes, steam
rollers, etc., was sent to a•..laundry
,and eame back in ,unrecognizable
shreds. Whereupon laundry men ev-
erywhere protested and suits were
threatened. Mr. iSterrett also had
the habit of using the word •"prune"
as an epithet, i.e., "You poor prune."
Whereupon California prune growers
wrote to Mr. Sterrett, complaining a-
bout this reflection upon a worthy
agricultural :product. Strips with
"pretty •girl" characters can make
the girls pretty but not too fleshly.
Thus the comic heroines run to the
mannequin type and conduct -them-
selves
hemselves with notable decorum.
All comic strips fall into one of
two classes—the "gag" strip or the
"continuity" strip. In. the gag strip
something funny has to happen ev-
ery day. Rube Goldberg (Boob Mc-
Nutt), Cliff Sterrett ('PoIIy and Her
Pals), and Milt Gross (•Count•Screw-
loose) are specimens of the gag strip;
H. T. Webster (Timid 'Soul.). and Fon-
taine Fox (Toonervile Fplks) of the
gag strip in a single picture,
For the continuity strip the, same
characters are carried] through an
endless series of episodes, interest
depending upon following them -from
day to day, week to week. One of
the continuity strippers;'Frank King
of Gasoline Alley, has had Skeezix—
who started as a small....Asaby—grow
up with the strip, but thus far the
other serials have avoided this final
realistic touch. Andy Guntp started
the continuity vogue- in 1917, and
there was a time when the question
of whether Uncle Bim would marry
the widow Zander agitated the same
millions who later hung breathless
on the progress which Antos and
Andy were making with Madame
Queen,
'Many of the continuities do not
pretend to be funny and some pre-
tend not to be funny. The latter
clash has entirely replaced 'humor,
with cheap narrative. The most pot-
ent of the latter serials is Tarzan of
the Apes. This carries the signature
of Edgar Rice Burroughs, although
Mr. Burroughs actually signs noth-
ing but the cheques he cashes. The
Tarzan strip is even more inane than
the famous Tarzan -hooka and suf-
fers from; the fact that different men
work on -the daily and Sunday strips.
Not much attention is paid to where
Tarzan was left last week or even
yesterday. The strip wanders
through continents and cannibals with
incredible coherence, and millions of
people follow it with 'bated breath.
;Comic • strips have occasionally
been reported by the intelligentsia
(such as Gilbert Seldes and the late
th"iliiard Bolitho) as great and in-
digenous records of U. S. life. In
their early days they did function as
crude satires when American litera-
ture in general was saccharine and
imitative. They lampooned the lit-
tler aspects of American life long
before Sinclair Lewis discovered Main

But with the substitution of nar-
rative for humor and the reproduc-
tion of cheaply sentimental stories,
the comics have lost much of their
old vitality. Mr. Heri•iman with his
Krazy Kat and 'gnats Mouse retain
a remarkable imaginative reality.
Mr. Goldberg, Mr. Gross, Mr, Web-
ster and Mr: • Fox arestill effective.
But the strip has suffered from mass
production and humor hardening in-
to a formula, and from the fact that
the novel, the stage, and even they
motion picture have caught up with;
its hardboiled and wisecracking spir-
it. It is something which time has
a little withered and custorp.a,.rather
staled.
