Ram. viil, 81—Commentary Prepared
by Rev. D. M. Steams.
The ermine of the living God defied
end the people of God reproached de
scribee the state of affairs at the open
ing of thie lesson (verse* 10, 26, 861.
1 have lost reed In the papers of a
deficit in each of two mission boards of
over $280,000 and of one denomination
that has lost 300,000 members In six
years. Does there seem to be any
parallel,, and If so where Is the David
for the occasion? We have reason to
thank God for a man like Rev. William
Sunday, who Is rescuing more soul*
from the hands of the enemy and slay
ing more giants than any other man
in America today (May, 1914), as far
as we are able to Judge, because he
has learned how to sling stones with
deadly aim In the name of the living
God. We cannot but thank God also
for such a witness as Daniel Crawford,
from the heart of Africa, who has been
standing for the living God -before the
preachers and students and hundreds
of thousands of the people of our land.
Oh, for more such Davids and Daniels!
Who la willing to be another such?
How pitiful to see the men of Israel
sore afraid and fleeing from one defi
ant Philistine! (Verse 24.) The words
of Joshua are applicable, “O Lord,
what shall I say when Israel turneth
their backs before their enemies?”
(Josh. vll. 8.)
David, the shepherd boy, of no ac
count in the eyes of his brethren, found
this condition of things when be came
to the camp, sent by his father to see
bow his brethren fared' and to bring
them some good things from home
(verses 18-18), he having returned from
being Saul’s armor bearer to feed Ms
father's sheep at Bethlehem. Ellab,
his eldest brother, misjudged him and
spoke unkindly to him, hot he meekly
replied. Is there not a cause? (Verses
28, 29). David’s Inquiry as to why
this man should be allowed to defy
God and reproach Israel was told to
Saul, and be sent for David, and be
said to Saul: “Let no man’s heart fan
because of him. Thy servant will go
and fight with this Philistine. The
Lord that delivered me out of the paw
of the lion and out of the paw of the
bear. He will deliver me out of his
hand” (verses 32-37).
Saul armed David with bis armor—
his helmet, his coat of mall and his
sword (what a snapshot that would
have made?)—but be could not go thus,
for he had not proved It So he pat it
all off him, and with his sling and live
smooth stones, wMch he knew how to
use, and with his staff In his hand he
went forth to meet the giant the great
mass of blaspheming flesh and blood
(verses 38-40). The giant disdained
him and cursed him, which Is about
the way that flesh always acts toward
the spirit or mocks, as Ishmael did
Isaac (verses 41-44; Gen. xxt 6; Gal.
v, IT). How grand are the words of
David, “I come to thee In the name of
the Lord of hosts, the God of the
armies of Israel, whom thou hast de
fied” (verse 46). The Invisible God was
much more real to David than this
visible giant who made Israel to trem
ble. He reminds us of Caleb and
Joshua, to whom giants and walled
cities were nothing, because they saw
and believed God. Mooes also endured
as seeing Him who Is Invisible. Most
people, however, see the difficulties and
eee themselves as grasshoppers (Num
kill. 33). ,
Then notice David’s one desire, that
all Israel and all the earth might know
the God whom he knew, the living
God, the God who could deliver from
an actual lion and bear. He had no
thought of hhnself nor desire for any
glory for himself, but be honored the
Lord, and the Lord did honor him, ac
cording to I Bam. tl, 30. It Is greet to
see no nun any more save Jesus only
and to say from the heart: ~The Lord
Is my light and my salvation. Whom
shall I fear?" (Mark lx, 8; Ps. xxvli, 1.)
Nothing can be compared to such a
confidence In God as David;had. Now
see him running toward the giant,
placing a stone In his sling, and with a
prayer to his God sending It In the
name of the Lord of hosts and for the
honor of His name. Do you wonder
that It went straight and struck hard,
sank Into the gtint*s forehead and fell
ed him to the earth? The eyes of all
the thousands of Israel and of the
Philistines were upon David as he ran
to meet his enemy, but he gave that
no thought, for his eyes were upon
the living God, and God’s eyes were
upon him. according to II Chron
ivl, &
David had no weapon, so he ran and
stood upon the giant (can’t you see
him?) and, taking the giant’s sword
cut off his hesd and carried It away In
triumph, first to Baul and then to Jem
salon. He took the giant’s armor also
(verses 48d8). This was all written
for your' bsneflt and mine that we
might learn to be strong In the Lord 1
and In Os power of His might I do
sot understand how neither Saul nor
the captain of his host knew who Da
vld was, although David had been
Saul's armor bearer, but 1 rejoice to
meet Jonathan again sail to ess him

By N. BARNETT DODSON.
Much Interest baa been aroused In
educational circles among our people
throughout the United States by the
tact that the West Virginia Colored
taetltute hoe been raised from a second
ary school to college rank. President
Byrd Prillerman. of this institution.
Ml been the recipient of letters of
Congratulation from many of the lead
ing Negro educators in all sections of
t|>e country.
On Wednesday. Feb. 17. 1915, both
houses of the West Virginia legisla
ture passed a bill without a dissenting
tote, changing the name of the Institu
tion to the West Virginia Collegiate in
stitute and authorising it to do college
work and also* extension work. Too
much credit cannot be gtren Governor
BYRD PRILLERMAN.
I B. D. Hatfield. who recommended to
i (be tefbUtare In hts annas] meeaege
that each a change be made
The governor la very thoroughly In
tweeted to Negro education and has
rahen advantage of every opportunity
to demonstrate this Interest. The move
ment among the colored people of the
state to have this college established
wee led by Professor J. W. Scott, prin
cipal of the Douglass school. Hunting
ton. W. Va. It is highly creditable to
the race In the state that It was for
ape time almost unanimous in the
, aCtart and plans for this college course.
She school Is Just completing a new
: dining hall, which will have a seating
1 capacity of 800. It is a three story
> brick building and thoroughly fireproof.
When completed it will bo the finest
wheel dining hell to be found In the
its to of West Virginia. The state
board of control, of which the Hon.
James 8. Lakin Is the president, de
serves much commendation for the im
partial manner In which It has manag
ed the financial affairs of this lnstltn
tioo. The board has thoroughly demon
strated that It Is highly In favor of the
Negro youth of the state having the
very best facilities for education.
The summer school at this institution
win begin on llonday, Juno It and
continue for six weeks. Some of the
■blest speakers In the country have
been secured to direct the work of the
rammer school session, which from the
very beginning of this special oppor
tunity afforded teachers to better equip
themselves for their chosen work has
(wen a popular success. It Is already
dawning upon the teachers In the city
and country schools of the state that
since the West Virginia Colored Insti
tute has been raised to college rank
they should bestir themselves to make
the pupils In the schools which they
teach more proficient In tbelr studies.
Thu Idea Is also gaining In public favor
that, these urban and rural schools
should fit pupils to enter the West Vir
ginia Collegiate Institute.
Professor Byrd Prillerman has won
Hu spurs as an educator upon merit
He hoe been prominent in the work of
education In West Virginia for a good
many years, and by his loyalty to the
Institution of which he Is the honored
hand he has won a wide reputation as
a eons tractive genius In bringing things
to pass for the advancement of his
men. He Is one of the officials and
strong promoters of the Land Gram
roUsge movement, of which hie fellow
educators have seen lit to make him
tee presiding officer. The raising of his
I Chip I at Institute. W. Vs., to college
rank Is at once a high recognition of
Us ability end service on the part of
Governor Hatfleld. s
si Interest will be manifested
