Comment ai;v,-1. The Lord calls Sam-
uel (vs. 1-10.) 1, The child Samuel—
"Samuel fa supposud to have been about
twelve years old at this time. His duty
in the tabernacle was to perform those
easy services which his strength would
allow, such ns opening the doors, light-
ing the lamps, ate, He did not reside iit
the sanctuary, but in one of the apart-
ments wound_ it, which were kept for
• the use of the priests and Lovites, Evi-
the high priest, kept Samuel as his apo -
_4 +eia1 attendant, not because such an of-
fice tuna assigned hitt, but because of
the deep interest he felt in him, IIe was
Samuel'» instructor." Wats precious—The
meaning is that direct revelations from
God had become exceedingly rare. This
was because of the sinfulness of the
priesthood turd the people; As sinfulness
in the individual heart drives away the
lloly Spirit, so in the Hebrew nation it
drove away the spirit of prophecy..—

was some time in the night. Samuel was

111. Samuel tells the message to Eli
(vs. 15.180 The boy Samuel remained
on his eouoh until morning and then
arose and performed his usual duties
about the tabernacle. But he hesitated
about making known the message to
Eli. How could onto 50 young 'bear a
message reproving all old ran, and he
the high priest? But Eli insisted that
nothing be hid from him, and Samuel
told him all. 'Then said Eli, with n
sense of ]tit own uuwort-hiness, "It is
rho bard; Id him do what seemotli hint
good."
IV, Samuel increased in influoneottnd
power (vs. 10-21), Suannul grow and the
Lord was tritli him filling kiln with
grace and wisdom, Gad "let none of his
words fall to the ;mound," but fitlfil.hd
His predictions and caused IIis counsels
to be received by the people, through-
out the whole extent of Palestine. All
Israel knew that Samuel was faithful
end a prophet of the Lord. And the
Lord continued to reveal Himself to
Samuel in Shiloh.

Mm'ie were convicted tu•day of the mur-
der o1' Emma, Levin Imre lust summer,
The court found that \Irs. Goold was
the chief instigator of the crime, and
sentenced her to death by the guillotine,
and that Goold was less responsible by
reason of Itis being wide' the influence
of liquor at the time the murder wi15
conuuitted, and sentenced him to im-
prisonment for life.
Great crowds -that had gathered with-
in and without the building received
tie anaonneeniett of the conviction with
great excitement, applause following the
rendering of the verdict by the court.
The trial of the Goolds consumed less
than three days. It attracted attention
Trout all over the world because of the
enormity of the e'illW, the manlier in
which the murder was committed and
the dramatic arrest of the principals,
who were taken by the police while seek-

showed, however, that the woman had

Some time after the autopsy, when

The Christian's Bank.
1 hate a never failing Bank,
A more than earthly store,
No earthly ?Monk is half so rich;
flow then can I be poor?
"Pis when my stock is spent and gone,
And 1 without a groat,
I'm gi al to hasten to my ]tank
To get a little note.
Sometimes my Banker smiling, says
Why don't you oftener come?
And when you draw a little note
Why not a larger sunt
Why live so niggardly and poor?
Your Bank contains a -plenty,
Why come and take 'a one pound note
When you might have a twenty?
Yes! twenty thousand, ten times told
Is but a trifling sum
To what your Father has laid up;
Secure in God and his Sona
Sinter then, my Banker is so rich,
I have no cause to borrow;
I'll live upon my cash to -day
And draw on hint to -morrow,
Fre been a thousand times before
And never 00115 rejected;
Sometimes my ]tanker gives me more
Tlian asked for, or expected.
Sometimes I felt n little proud,
I managed thing, so clover;
But all before the day was gone
1 felt as poor as ever.

MAYOR ARRESTED.
I know my Bank can never fail,
Its funds, always the same,
The Fhm, "Three persons in ono God,"
"Jehovah" is his name.
Should all the Banks in Britain' break,
The Bank of England smash,
Bring me your note on Zion'6 Bank,
You'll surely get your cash;
And, it you have but one small tote.
]rear not to bring it in;
Conte boldly to the throne of grace,
The flanker is within.
All forged notes will be refused,
Man's merits be rejected;
There's not a single note will pass
That God has not accepted.
'?here's none brit those beloved of God,
Redeemed by precious blood,
That ever had a note to bring;
These ,are the gifts of God.
Though thousands often sey
They have no notes at all;
Because they feel the plague of sin,
So ruined by the fall,
This Bank is full of precious notes
111 signed and sealed and free;
Though ninny a ransomed soul may say
"There is not one for me"
Base unbelief will lend the most
'.Co say what is not true.
1 tell all souls who foci they're loot
These notes belong to you.

"Lord, if yott will you cera;"
The Banker cashed this little note,
And healed the sickly man,
We rend of one young man indeed,
Whose riches did abound; ;
But in the Banker's book of grace
His name was never found,
But see the,wretehcd 'dying 'thief
Hung by the Banker's side(
Ho cried, ``Dear Lord,'remember no!"
He got his cash and flied,
The above beautiful poem was writ-
