Smarll PriCat AN EMPEROR'S JEST. can Court Dignitaries lime to Run Itaces for Enjoyment. Recent Japanese papers recount incident of palace life in Corea ch, according to Japanese inter- retation, illustrates the delicate wit of the Emperor of Corea. It appears that the Emperor was about the only one in the palace who ap- preciated the joke. Sonic weeks ago he got the idea of entertaining sonic of the school children of Seoul within the palace enclosure. A day was set for the entertainment and a general invi- tation sent out to the two schools that pass under the name of public institutions in that shabby old town, About 400 children went to the pal- ace grounds. Some of the palace chamberlains received the youngsters and arrang- ed a series of athletic games for their competition. In the height 4 the running and leaping tho Em- peror, accompanied by the Empress, her court ladies and the soothsayers, astrologers and court eunuchs, ap- peared on n porch and seemed to enjoy the spectacle hugely. The Emperor became so interested in the races that he went down nmong the children and took per- sonal direction of the events. After all the competing children were red with el4Taustion his Corean scnse Qf humor asserted itself. "Now," said he, "we will have a race for the court chamberlains and another for t'.ue soothsayers." There was no gainsaying orders of his Majesty, and all the chamber- lains had to pair off in teams and run the required distance, irrespec- tive of girth, weight of years or of dignity the grave court attendants had to grin childishly, gird up their flowing rglies and give nn extra tie to the :strings of their outlandish bonnets -and then run. "His Majesty seemed to take pleasure in the spectacle," says the IVrichi Nichi Shimbun of Tokio. Se melt -.w a compliment is pleasing to a woman even when she knows It isn't sincere.

Anything was "devoted" which was utterly given to Jehovah. This might be done in either of two ways, (1) by giving priest g ng it o t the 111 t fur personal or ceremonial use, or (Y) os render- ing it unfit for any use at all. Com- plete destruction was the most thor- oughgoing form of devoting to Je- huvah, and as every oat• was a holy war the fate which often awaited not only the property, but the persons of the vanquished was annihilation in the name of a religious vow. 1Gilgal-A town prominent in the history of Israel at this time. It was a sacred place (1 Sam. 13; 9. 10) and was the scene of Saul's pre- vious crowning (1 Sani. 11. 14, 15) as it is now of his rejection. 22. And Samuel said -This reply which is in pontic form is worthy of the great eighth century prophets and greatly resembles them in its emphasis on moral rather than cere- monial excellence (compare Amos 5. 21-24; Hos. 6. 6; Mic. 6. 6-8, and Jesus's words in Matt. 9. 13). i To hearken -Means the same as I "to obey" in the previous line. So, the fat of rams corresponds to "sac- riftce." The repetition of thought in parallel expressions was part of the poetic form. 23. Witchcraft - Or, divination, was held in disrepute among the Hebrews, especially in later times. It was a Canaanitish practice and condemned by Jehovah - indeed it amounted to apostasy from him. Idolatry - The worship of images of which teraphirn seems to have been one sort. They were probably in the human form and were sternly denounced by the later prophets. 25. Turn again with me, that I may worship Jehovah - Samuel's placation was necessary before any approach could be made to Jehovah so completely was he Jehovah's rep- resentative. 27.

These may not be formal codes; we niay have freed ourselves Iron the authority of tred:tonalisin, but every man who reasons on his Lie sets up standards of goodness and right and these standards constitute laws to hits. How can one be free while seek- ing to kve by his laws of the right and Pic true? What, after all, is freedom? Is it the absence of all restraint? Is it Lfe with telt the fences down? Is it ungoverned, unguided ir,esr:onslbility? Freedom is sanely the capacity, within us, to choose cur own way, to will what we will do, and the opportunity without to put into lire and conduct the results of such free choosing, The power to choose is the first thing in moral freedom. This belongs to us a.: end none can take it away from us. We may lose the power through dis- :se. habit and oppression may make it sluggish, but still it is there. In every man is this divine possibility of eying ho will or he will not. YOUR WILL IS YOURS. ne of the eternal tests is, \Vhat are we doing with our wills? - • Such a power constantly involves the xerdse of choice. We elect every mo- ticnt between rossible courses and we sways elect on the ground of some good, choosing that which seems to us e tffer the greatest good. Our ideas of ecd may be poor, grass, perverted; we lay choose death, but we choose it be. ouee it seems good. As the powers and the intelligence de- •elop the choices of freedom involve widening considerations.

HENRY F. COPE. THE S. S. LESSON IN'1'E1{N.t'1'IO.\AL LESSON, J LLT 26. Lesson IV. Saul Rejected by the Lord. Golden Text, Josh. 24. 24. THE LESSON WORD STUDIES. (Based on the text of the Revised Version). Sail's Campaigns. - The people had not overestimated the powers of their leader Saul, who at once began a series of brilliant campaigns against their enemies on all sides. One of the strains of popular report even has it that his selection as king was the result of a successful calling of the clans and leading them out to the rescue of the men of Jabesh-gilend at the time of an Ammonite invasion (1 Sam. 11). Much of his reign was taken up with battles against Israel's foes, and Chapters 13 and 14 are devoted to the record of these conflicts. First, there is the Philistine campaign, which is one of defense. The appear- ance of these powerful enemies with their war chariots and overwhelm- ing numbers fills the heart of Saul's men with fear, and they either de- sert or folow him trembing (I Sam. 13. 6, 7) but he gains a number of important victories. Several stories concerning Jonathan - Saul's son and a popular hero -are told. In n wonderful exploit he and his ar- mor -bearer start the rout of the Philistines single handed (1 Sam. 14. 1-16. Later, when he breaks a vow which his father, unknown to him, has made, he is saved by the demand of the people. At this time also Saul shows signs of the self -dependence which was later to cause his rejec- tion (1 Sam. 13. 8-14). In succes- sion he meets the Moabites, the Am- monites, and the Edomites, the three great people whose territory ranked Israel on the south and east. Fin- ally, he goes out Against the Amale- kites, with whom Israel has an old score. They formed the first line of opposition to her advance front the wilderness into Cannan and she has not forgotten (Exod. 17. 14). It is the part of justice and religious duty to visit upon them the sin of their fathers, and this S..ul sets out to /.o impelled by the command of Jehovah through Samuel. The war is one of extermination, and is to include none but the offending nn - tion, so the Kenites who live among the Amalekites are given an opportunity to flee before the final attack. Israel' victory is decisive and complete. it is the disobedience in the di'pesal of t he spoil which causes Sannrel to leave his place of retirement and come hurrying down with the word of ,iehovah against Snail, whose eellahneee has prompt - cd it. The brilliancy of David's con quests and the shameful death to which Saul finally came have tend- ed to dull the lustre of his own lifo, but it must be remembered that he was ono of the very greatest of Is- rael's military leaders, and that his victories Laid the foundations for the successful reigns of David and Soo - mon. Verse 13. Samuel -The aged judge is still regent in any time of crisis, although he has given up formal power. BlcsICd--.\ gracious form of greet- ing, though it savors of hypocrisy here. Thou of Jehovah-IIe represents the conscience of Israel and is the one link between them and their God. I have performed the command- ment of Jehovah -Samuel, speaking for Jehovah (15, 2), had renewed the old command given to Moses and handed down to Joshua (Exod. 17. 14-10) to fight against the Amale- kites till they are destroyed. It was essentially n religious act and Saul was accountable in its perform- ance to Jehovah. His word was un- true, as lie had not followed the ex- plicit command of Samuel (1 Sani. 15. 3). 15. Amalekit.es-Israel's oldest and most hated foes. They were a rob- ber, nomad people living in lower Palestine who harassed and molest- ed the twelve tribes from the time of the battle at Rephidim, when Moses prayed while Joshua fought in t.ha pain, all through the period of the Judges, till their final exter- mination at the hand of David. If it is true, ns is thought,that they were at the head of the confederacy of Canaanite tripes who possessed the land, and represented them in the conflict, the bitter rivalry between them and Israel was to be expect- ed. 'fhe peopo spared -A falsehood. They dare not have done so except at Saul's command. The best -A suspicious selection. To sacrifce---A flimsy pretext, for their destruction would have amounted to a sacrifice to Jehovah. I'tterly destroyed - Put to the ban. This was the execution of a religious sentence ; hence the seri- ousness of disobedience even in a do - tail. Acllan's sin with its tragic re- sults corresponds to this and is of the same sort. There were degrees of severity in the enforcement of the ban, but in the case the extreme penalty of absolute annihilation of every living thing was imposed. 17. Though thou west little . . . . of Israel - Compare Saul's own words in Chapter 9, verse 21. His elevation should have increased his sense of responsibility to Jehovah. Jehovah -The agent of God's will is overlooked. According to He- brew thought all things were due to the direct netien of Jehovah. 19. Didst fly upon the spoil -A graphic expression indicating lack of self-control and personal greed. eje ROYAL SPINSTERS WELL. OFF. lltichelor Prinre••ces Need Nqt Enter Cle,isIers Now.

FRUIT -CROP PROSPE('T& \Veather Conditions. -- The wea- ther conditions throughout the Do- minion for the past m 'nth have been generally favorable for fruit. The first three weeks were exceptionally dry in the fruit districts of Ontario, but occasional showers after the 20th have prevented serious injury, except that the samples of strawber- ries in some eases are not so large . as usual. Light frosts on the 15th ' did only u very slight damage. Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island have had exceptionally favorable weather. In British Columbia, though the weather was cowl and wet till the early part of June, con- ditions were not seriously affected. !During the latter part of the month the temperature has been higher, with occasional showers. Apples. - Prospects are not so good as was expected, and the dry ' weather has probably increased the Juno "drop." A fair estimate of the present n t cont ltwns would be an ay- ; erage or slightly above the average ' crop of early and fall apples, with winter apples somewhat below a medium crop. The districts produc- ing the larger' quantity of fruit, in Ontario, such as the counties of Hastings, Durham and Northum- berland, have rather a light crop of winter apples. I Speaking generally for the whole apple belt, Spies, Baldwins and Kings will be light or very light; Russets a medium crop; Ben Davis nearly a full crop; Greenings a me- dium crop; the Fameuse above the average almost everywhere, and at least an average crop of fairly clean, good-sized fruit in the Ottawa and St. Lawrence Valleys. In Nova Scotia the prospects for the apple crop as a whole are parti- cularly good, this being a bearing year for the Gravenstein. There are no unfavorable conditions in British Columbia, the prospects showing a medium crop. Pears and Plums. -The prospects for pears and plums are only medi- um. Barlets and Keiffers have the best showing. Peaches. -Early varieties will be fairly abundant, somewhat above the average; lato varieties a medi- um crop. In the early varieties, Alexander, Early Rivers and Tri- umph are reported bearing full crops. Of the latter varieties, St. John will be only a medium crop, the Early Crawford light, Smocks and Elbertas show for something over a medium crop. The Elbertas are bearing heavily where they were sprayed for curl leaf; those not sprayed have in many cases a very light crop. Tomatoes -The prospects for to- matoes are excellent. Should there be plenty of moisture during July, there seems nothing in the way of a hull crop this year. Cherries. -Sweet cherries some- what scarce; sour cherries more plentiful. (,rapes. -Grapes look well and promise a full crop. Small Fruits. -\\lith a moderate amount of rain small fruits will likely give a large crcp. The con- ditions are so favorable over all the fruit -producing sections that the aurogate of the crop will likely be very large. Insects. -Insects are not more prevalent than at this time last year and fungous diseases are not speci- ally in evidence. Up to the present time most injury has bene done by the cigar -case bearer, the bud moth, canker worm, green-fuit worm and oyster -shell bark -louse. Foreign Crop Conditions.- The United States will have only an av- erage crop. but very generally dis- tributed over the apple -growing dis- tricts. The prospects for stock suitable for marketing during the winter months would indicate about an average crop or somewhat less. The prospects for apples in Great Britain, and for the fruit crop gen- erally, are particularly gond, and there are no serious adverse condi- tions reported from the Continent. A.
