A JEALOUS KING.
The International Sunday school les
for Aug. 16 la found in I. Samuel
xviii, 5-16. The victory over Goliath
seemed to lay everything that was de
sirable at David's feet. It made him
the hero of the hour. It secured him
the fervent friendship of Jonathan.
But soon the jeaious> of Saul made his
good fortune appear like a calamity.
It was through the jealousy of the king,
however, that God was training David
to b.e the ruler of Israel. The disci
pline, though hard, developed the man- j
hood that was necessary to make him
an ideal king.
After his anointing by Samuel, David
was summoned to court to charm away
"the evil spirits that troubled Saul" by
means of his talent with the harp. But
the narrative studied last Sunday in
troduces David as a stranger to the
king. David's visits at court may have
been few, and Saul's failure to. recog
nize him at Socoh may have been due
to his older and altered appearance, or
to the fact that Saul had seen him only
during his fits of madness. David's
appointment as armor-bearer was
doubtless subsequent to his victory
over Goliath.
Here begins the close comradship be
tween David and Jonathan, which is
one of the famous friendships of his
tory. His great courage and faith,
manifested at Israel's time of need, won j
the heart of Jonathan, who was him
self a hero.
The slayer of Goliath had been prom
ised the hand of the king's daughter.
But he won instead the hearts of the
king's son and all the people. The
adulation heaped upon him by count
less admirers and the honors bestowed
by the king were a severer test of his
sturdy character than was the conflict
with Goliath. The immoderate flat
tery of the women waa the beginning
of David's trouble. "Woe unto you,
when all men shall speak well of you."
His excess of popularity proved his un
doing. He would have been far better
off without It, for it aroused the ting's
jealousy.
Anger, jealousy and suspicion rank
led in .the king's heart because of the
praises of the popular hero. Hereto
fore David had been but a shepherd
youth In Saul's gyes. : Now 'he views
him as a rival. He remembers, with a
guilty uneasiness, the keen .words of
Samuel warning' him that Jehovah
woud "rend the kingdom from him and
jive it to a neighbor who was better

than he." The very thought brings on
his old-time madness, and when David,
as before, tries to comfort and calm
him with his music, the jealous king in
a burst of passion hurls his javelin at
him. David twice escapes, which led
Saul to fear that David had a
"charmed life," and then he began to
fear him*. When fear is added to jeal
ous suspicion, treachery soon follows.
Fearing to^oppose David publicly, Saul
secretly plots to cause his death. His
hope that.he may die in battle is not
realized, so he urges him to special
deeds of boldness in order to win in
marriage the king's daughter, Mlchal.
The plot is a mean one, but David
passes the ordeal unscathed and wins
the prize, becoming the king's son-in
law. Constantly baffled in his jealous
plans, Saul nurses his wrath and bides
his time.
TACT IN DEALING WITH MEN.
The Christian Endeavor topic for
August 16 is found in I. Corinthians
ix, 16-23... rr lt, is another lesson from
Paul: "How to use tact in dealing
with men."
Paul exemplifies in. a large meas
ure the necessity and the successful
ness of tact in dealing with men from
a feligious standpoint. He was a
great soul, winner and most success
ful in developing Christian character.
And one .of the secrets of his success
with all nationalities and classes of
people was his tactfulness. "Unto the
Jews," he says, "I became as a Jew
that I might-gain the Jews; to them
that are under the law, as under the
law, that I might gain them under the
law; to them that are without law,
as without law; • * * to the weak
became I. as weak, that I might gain
the weak; I am made all things to
all mea, that-I might by all means
save some."
Paul did not, of course, in any ig
noble sense become all things to all
men. He was not •or.c thing to a Jew
•and something that was inconsistent
with that to a ftoman. He studied
the ■ dispositions of all classes and
adapted himself to their peculiarities
and their wants - that he might win
them to Christ. He talked to men in
a -language* that they could under
stand and presented Christ from a
viewpoint that they could compre
hend, and thus only can any one be
successful in dealing with men in
their.relation to. ; God in Jesus Christ.
To be able to adapt himself to the
peculiar dispositions of "men required
thought and study on the part of the
apostle. A Jew had to be dealt with
in one. way and a Gentile in another,
and to deal with each in the proper
way. required .a .certain kind of knowl-

edge which can only come from study
and experience. Parents to deal suc
cessfully with children, teachers with
scolars, pastors with peopte — and
Christian people with the unsaved
and irreligious must study theor par
ticular dispositions and thus learn
how to reach them. The acquirement
of such skill requires time ajtui labor,
but it should be cheerfully given.
ENDURE HARDNESS AS A GOOD
SOLDIER.
The Ep worth league topic' for
August 16 is found In L Timothy.ii., 3-4.
Paul had become well acquainted
with soldiers and military life. From
the time he was rescued from the Jew
ish mob in the temple at Jerusalem by
the Roman commander of the garrison
until the time of the writing of ttfis
his last letter his companions night
and day had been Roman soldiers. In
Caesarea he had been for two years
handcuffed to one of them. On his
voyage to Rome, in the shipwreck aad
after the journey he was kept a pris
oner under close guard. His residence
in Rome was part of the time in the
camp of the Pretorian jruard, and when
he was allowed to live in his own hired
house he was still, in all probability,
chained to a soldier of that guard.
In these trials Paul had become very
familiar with the customs and manners
of that class of men. Their vices and
good qualities were known to him. He
had largely entered into their experi
ences and modes of thought and feel
ing. It was a natural result that his
speech and writings should be colored
by this life. His own privations and
sufferings would be looked at by him
as a kind of military necessity in the
service of his sovereign Jesus. He
was prisoner of Christ. He endured
all things for the sake of Jesus, who
had enrolled him as a soldier. He
was in active service and must take
his share in the sufferings and the
hardship common to all soldiers In
such service. *
- This view of Christian life has ever
been of great influence and of much
value in shaping character. Difficitt
ties and trials come to nearly every
one. Very few have a course shel
tered from care and temptations. Ad
verse circumstances must be met. The
way in which they" are treated very
largely determines the individual char
acter and destiny. Many sensitive
natures, like Timothy, shrink from the
rude shocks and are inclined, as per
haps he was, to avoid as much as
possible the disagreeable things. To all
such this warning exhortation of the
aged apostle rings out. like ;' a bugle
call: "Suffer hardship with me, as a
[ good soldier of Christ Jesus!" ;. ,f* '

He who rejects the Apostles' Creed
substitutes a creed of his own. A de
vout, rational man cannot approach
the Scriptures without asking the
question, "What is there taught?" The
answer is his own personal creed,
later expressed in words. A creed is
as inevitable to an honest minded stu
dent of God's Word as an impression
is to sensitive photographic plate. Do
not be afraid of creeds, but be sure
that your beliefs are Scriptural.
jAfter the day of Pentecost, when
the Holy Spirit descended upon each
of the apostles, they separated to ful
fill the command given by the Lord to
go and preach Christ to every nation.
They probably all used the yerse,
Matt, xxviii, 19, as a baptismal form
ula and also as a rule to guide the
future preaching of their disciples, so
that they might teach the faith alike
to all Avho were invited to believe in
Christ. In time they and their succes
sors formed a short and clear rule of
faith which is called a symbol. It
was not written in any book, lest it
might fall into the hands of perse
cutors, but taught those who believed
and kept as a watchword by which to
recognize those who taught apostolic
faith. In later years additions were
made until it assumed the form we
now have.

Of fickle fortune's frowns;
I've braved and borne
The cold world's scorn
And had my ups and downs.
Yet I can still
A ditty trill
Or sing a roundelay,
For, though I hold
Nor lands nor gold.
My skies are seldom gray!
The stress and strife
Of toilsome life
Have taught me one glad truth—
Not he who must
Crawls in the dust.
But he who will, forsooth!
And so I sing
My song and fling
- My load of care away;
For, though I hold
Nor lands nor gold.
My skies are seldom gray!
I would not give
. A fig to live
Divorced from fret and moil;
~~ The"bread I eat
v Is rendered sweet
Because of daily toil.
And so I still
A ditty trill,
A blithesome roundelay;
For, though I hold
Nor lands nor gold
•My skies are seldom gray!

"AT THE CLEAR FOUNTAIN."
"From the little seven-year-old child to
the gray-haired old man everybody in
Canada knows this song. There is no
French-Canadian song that in this re
spect will compare with it, although the
melody is very primitive'; and-it has little
to interest the musician beyond its great
popularity."—Ernst.- ■•■ • v ■■■■■> .
It is often sung to a dancing tune, and
is even brought into, the fantasies of a
concert. It is known in France, where it
has nearly the same words, but with this
difference, that the French song express
es the sorrow of a young girl at the loss
of her friend Pierre, while the Canadian
lad wastes his regrets upon, the rose that
his mistress has rejected. Some years
since this song in its Canadian dress
was brought out in all the principal thea
ters of Paris with immense success
On the occasion of the visit of the
Prmce of Wales, now King Edward, to
America in 1860. a little incident occurred
on board the Hero, on the last evening be
fore the landing at Quebec, that brought
this song into notice upon a much wider
field than before. Several prominent
Canadians had come on board, and as
the evening wore away Mr. (afterwards
Sir George) Cartier, a high official in the
government, stepped forward and began
to sing this song in a clear and melodious
voice.
The chorus was easily picked up by
the listeners;, and after once hearing it a
few voices joined in; at first in subdued
and gentle murmur, but at each return
more clear and strong, until at the end
the whole party were in full accord -and
singing with enthusiasm the oft-repeated
declaration: . : -.
"II y a longtemps que je faime,
Jamais je ne roublierai.'"— "
I loved thee from the. hour we met.
And never can that love foregt.

DON'T DO IT.
Of all form? of human effort and
execution scoldftig Is the most useless.
When a parrot, a chipmunk, a squirrel,
or bluejay scolds, he is ludicrous. For
people to scold is ludicrous, too, but
with a difference, and assuredly the dif
ference is on the unfavorable side.
It never did and never will do any
one any good..- --It has done much
harm. Besides scolding grows to be
a habit. We have all suffered because
of the shortcomings of some one else,
receiving tremendous tirades over what
we had no hand in, because we hap

425.—The ceremony of blessing, or pro
nouncing the benediction, is Of very re
mote antiquity. The patriarchs, before
they died, solemnly bestowed their bless
ings upon their sons. In the Book of
Numbers, in the sixth chapter, may be
found the words in which the high priest
was to bless th« • people of Israel, and
later Aaron blessed the people, "lifting
hia hand toward them." In like manner
the Master, after the resurrection, and
before parting from thfe disciples, at
Bethany, "lifted up His hands and blessed
them." In the >early church, the bishop
or presbyter gave his blessing to the
people with hia Jiands .extended toward
them. Thus the ceremony has grown,
until in the church the world over the
custom prevails.

And Their
Authors.
From this time onward till the end
of the prince's Journey In America, this
simple melody became the favorite piece,
or was brought in as an accompaniment
to other music, at receptions and parties,
and. in short, upon all occasions wherever
music was in order; and for this reason
it is now better known outside of Canada
than all the rest of French-Canadian
songs put together. The English words
are as follows:
As by the crystal fount I strayed.
On which the dancing moonbeams played,
The water seemed so clear and bright,
I bathed myself in its delight:
I loved thee from the hour we met.
And never can that love forget.
The water seemed so clear and bright,

But I could weep, for mine La sad;
For I have lost my lady fair.
And she has left me in despair.

A USELESS HABIT.
habit was yielded to by one of its
victims.
Scolding Is easy. It takes neither
power of brain nor h.eart to scold. It I
does not even make any great draft
upon the physical being. Any fish
wife alive can be a grand success at
scolding! Why compete with her?
Scolding should be compelled to per
ish from the earth. The tongue, the
voice, the eye, the face —all should be
trained not to scold; yes, and the pen,
for of all things a scolding pen is the
worst. And the habit once formed
with the pen Is apt never to be en- ;
tirely. shaken on*.

some other pernicious evidence of lack ,
of balance and control.
Many Europeans make merry over /
"the American breakfast," but they are '
easily caught up by the observation '
that they eat late at night, so that in '
the morning the stomach or intestines
are still filled with undigested and un
asslmilated food. Moreover, they do
not fail to pour into the stomach a lot
of coffee at breakfast time, and they
will also take a late breakfast as one
of their five or six meals a day. The
stomach should be empty on going to
bed. and, if so. the normal system de
mands a breakfast of good food soon |
after rising. Harm may result from ;
the no-breakfast folly if people do.not f
properly regulate their general dietary
and personal habits.

grain of gold has been made into a wire ,

been drawn so fine that their diameter
