TRUMBULL tJ (editor of Tho Sunday School Tirnrs) DAVID BRINGS THE ARK TO JERUSALEM. Sunday, Aug. 14--2 Sam. 2: 1-4; 5: 1-5; (: 1-15; Pea. 24. Golden Test. We shall be satisfied with the goodness of Thy house, 1717,11 Of Thy hely temple tPere 05:4.) Se It was seven years eince that a young man or 23, had 1, eln anointed be, Samuel as God's choke for King of Israel. Seven strange and etormy years they were. After God ha. disclosed His plans for ue, and we have fully accepted, Ills will, we often mistakenly suppose that all our troubleare over. Instead, we may find they have just begun! Satan is likely to attack us then harder ehan ever, and contest every foot of the way, as he did with Davie. David patiently waited God's time for receiving the Kingdom ,and re- fueed to hurry matters by taking them into bis own hands. Finally, as we saw last week, Saul the apos- tate King, was elan in battle, and with him the Royal heir Jonathan, David's best friend. ,Even then David !mle no move of his own; but ehe lesson opens with his question asked of the Lord: "Shall I go up into any of the cities of Judah?" God answered by a plain command to go to Hebron; and there the men of Judah made David their King. And then came another seven years' testing and waiting. For Judah was only one of the twelve tribes; the other eleven promptly made another son of Saul, named Ishbosheth, the King. Civil war fol- lowed—long war between the house of Saul and the house of David; but David waxed stronger and stronger, and the house of Saul waxed weaker and weak(r" X. Sam. 3:1). Yet David's enemies were the aggreseon. For seven years and sex months this went on; then, after Ishbosheth had been assassinated by two of his own Captains, all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and asked him to become their King. He was formally acelahned; and thus after fourteen years had passed God's Promise was fulfilled to the letter, as it alwaye is. At 30 David began his reign over Judah; at 37 he com- menced his reign over all Israel and Judah. His total reign lasted forty years. David's conquest of Jerusalem fol- lowed, in 1048, 13. C., almost three milleniums before General Allenby took the Holy City again, and made possible, under the British mandate, the return of David's people, the Jews, to their own land. "David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David" (5: 7). Just before David's greater son was born in the shepherd's boy's native city, Bethlehem, the angel announced to Mary, His birth, and His name, .Tesus and promised, "the Lord God shall give unto Him the Throne of His father, David; and He shall reign over -the house of Jacob for ever; and. of ,His Kingdom there shall be no end," (Luke 1: 82, 88), The Lord Jesus Shrist is sail awaiting the fulfilment of that ,prornise: it will be kept to the letter when He re- turns to this earthto take His King. darn, as David, after patient waiting, took his. And now David wanted to bring the Ark of God to Jerusalem. It was right that he should; the ark is one of the most perfect types oi Christ to be found in the Old Testa - meat, It was the very centre of the worship of God. But David 'Made the common Mistake of doing a right thing in a wrong way. The ark had had strange. expeei- eines -for a hundred years before this. Early in Samuel's public min- istry as prophet and judge in Israel, the ark had .been captured in battle by the Philestines. The wife of an apostate Phinehas, gave birth to a tohill in that time of tragic de- feat for God's people, and "she nam- ed the child Ichabod, saying: The glory of the Lord is departed from Israel; because the ark of God was taken" (I. Sam. 4:21), The cap- tured ark had brought a curse, not )chasing, to the Philistines, who soon returned it, en a new cart drawn ny cattle, t othe people of Israel (I. Sam 6). It was moved from one place to another, remaining finally at Kirjathejearim, or Baala, in Judah. From there David planned to bring the ark to Jerusalem. But he "set the ark of God upon a new cart," just as the Philistines had done. He should have known better. Dr. Scofield had a striking comment on this in his Reference Bible: "The story of David's new cart and its results is a striking illustration of the spiritual truth that blessing does not follow even the best intentions in the service of God except as that service 10 rendered in God's way. It is a constant point of failure. God had given explicit directions how the ark should be borne (Num. 4: 1-15), but David adopted a Philistine ex- pedient (I. Sam. 0: 7, 8): The Church is full of Philistine ways of doing service to Christ (compare I. Cor, 1: 17-31; II. Cor, 10: 4-5. Sea also I. Chron. 15: 2)." As the oxen drawing the cart stumbled, and one of the drivers, Uzzah, reached out his hand to steady the ark, the man fell dead. "God smote him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God." It was a terrible lesson, 'out at needed one. The law of God, and the holiness of God, cannot be trifled with. There are well-inte.ntioned people who aro trying to "steady the ark of God" today, and unconsciously setting themselves against God in ways of death. David learned his lesson, and later he brought the ark of God into Ser- usalem in God's own way, and there was great blessing and joy this time.

In India, the bull is regarded as a sacred animal and almost every town and city is worried by its herd of vagrant animals that nobody owns. A writer in the Ti1711111, of India, states that the great city of Delhi suffers most from this nuisance. These animals are encouraged to roam about the streets to the incon- venience and sometimes the danger of passing traffics pedestrians and shopkeepers alike. The explanation, nr course, lies in the veneration in which bulls and cows are held among Hindus, who see no harm in letting these animals loos, on public thor- oughfares. It may come as an surprise to read- ers that many of the district boards in the Punjab maintain bulls from local funds n.nd permit them to wan- der wherever they like. Such however, serve a purpnee. tor, spring- ing as they do from a 'elect they are used for breeding and are hence as famous in their way as were the historic bulls of Dash:tn. As already hinted. the practice of freeing oxen 0, not without attendant dangers, owing to the animals some- times getting beyond control. For instance, the case may be cited of an unoffending cyclist who was recently attacked by a null in the Chandni Chowk, Delhi. Ilia only means of defence was his cycle, which he was obliged to use as a shield and had the melancholy satisfaction of seeing smashed beyond MI recognition. But this menace apparently must con- tinue to be ever present in Delhi be- cause of the religious susceptibilities or its people. Laid 351 'Eggs in 3(58 Days. "Maisie," the white leghorn hen, that last year established the world's record by laying 351 eggs in 365 days, is proving a big money-maker for the University of British Colum- bia rarm. Known as Hen No, 6, she not only presides over the world's re- cord pen, but with her eggs is bring- ing into the treasury, or the univers- ity, 32,000. "We have actually Sold 31,625 or stock from Tien No. 6, and have reservations for 31,275 worth, which will bring the total up to 32,000," says Prof. E.

As the onward march of the Eu- ropean corn borer advancewest- ward into the corn belt areas of the United States, farmers are being forced to adopt new crop rotations and different systems of farming. Indiana contains the center of population of the Republic. Vast in- dustrial concerns employing thou- sands of men are located there. The American mother places a higher value o fpure wholesome milk for her children than on any other food. The annual consumption of milk has increased from 43 gallons to nearly 00 gallons of milk per capita during the last six years in this country, It is little wonder therefore that clairy• ing is receiving a good deal of at- tention in the new plan of agricultur- al readjustment. So far as the entomologist can learn at the preesnt time the corn borer does not attack legumes to any extent if at all. This is very fortu- nate for the dairyman, as it forme an excellent roughage for the dairy herd and adds to the fertility of the soil. STOOD' TEST For several years the corn belt farmer has been gradually increas- ing the acreage of alfalfa. One of the greatest obstacles encountered was that of securing a handy strain of seed at a reasonable price. Grimm offered the greatest resistance to winter killing but the limited supply available kept the price high. Experiment stations began to search for some other strain which would withstand the climate and re- duce the cost of seeding. The Michi- gan experiment station selected On- tario Variegated as a possibility. The rigorous conditions of Ontario's win- ters has developed" hardy character- istics . in this strain. The station placed a high valuation on the seed tested. Other states including Indiana learned o fthis satisfactory results and made similar trials. During the last two or three years the variety has been tried out under ordinary farm conditions chief among its NOT IN CONTEST sponsors being the intlimst S -,ate Fi.rm bureau, Last suntim n t;ILL: or- ganization sent its seed speciali,t to Ontario to inspect a number of fids before the crop was cut. The Canadian thistle is considered a very serious weed in Indiana Great care was exercised to choose seed from this impurity. So well has this variety of seed been re- ceived here that more than 2,5000 bushels have been imported into this state alone during the last 12 months. Reports received indicate the: On- tario Variegated seed is proving just as hardy and is yielding juet 00 well as Grimm, and it has the advantage of selling at a much lower price. CAMPAIGN ON. Although alfalfa acreage, in In- diana has nearly doubled durieg the last three years, at the present time less than 2 per cent, of the land cul- tivated within the state ie devoted to the production of alfalfa. Cam- paigns are being conducted; insti- tutes, short courses end dairy -le- gume. schools are being held at var- ious points over the state co ac- quaint the farmer with the best ways to produce and harvest the crop. At all such meetings Ontario Variegated alfalfa seed is recommended as one ; of the best strains to sow. Similar interest is being shown Inc other states Inc the middle west. It is quite likely to suppose that the de- ; mend will increase as the hardy nature of the seed becomes better known and the purity of the stock placed on the market more widely advertised. Every effort is being put forth to control the corn borer, but even if the fondest -hopes of entomologists are realized it will mean a reduced acreage of corn for a time, at least. The .sale of alfalfa hay gives a sub- stantial return from each acre of the crop. Undoubtedly farmers will con- tinue to produce it on the proper types of soil at least for years to come, once they learn its merits. WILL INCREASE The yields of seed are small and quality somewhat inferior in this warmer climate. There is every likelihood that. Ontario exports of the past year can be increased twiny times. Ontario farmers are fortu- nate in having developed a strain of seed with such ,a wide range of adaptability.

Many improvements have been made. This year the 1927 Western Fair is being looked forward to with in- terest by everybody. There has been an unprecedented demand by 111411U- fiteturers, merchants and dealers. for space in the various buildings to dis- play their products. The new manufacturers' building, which is the finest of its kind Inc the country, will be filled to capacity with excellent exhibits, featuring Can mines enduetrial achievements. The old Horticultural, Agriculture and Ladies' Work buildings have been torn dawn, and are being re- placed by a magnificlent red brick building with greatly increased Poor space. Exhibitors are busily engaged erecting booths painting -and de- corating, sparing no efforts to make their exhibitthe most attractive, and artistic of its kind. Entries have been received from all parts cof Can- ada and the United States, a certain indication that the Western Fair's generous Prize List is being received with enthusiaem.
