HOW TO STOP DANDRUFF
AND LOSS OF HAIR
Here Is a simple, inexpensive treat¬
ment that will almost always stop
dandruff and scalp itching, and keep
the hair thick, live and lustrous: At
night, spread the hair apart and rub a
little resinol ointment into the scalp
gently, with the tip of the finger. Re¬
peat this until the whole scalp has
been treated. Next morning, shampoo
thoroughly with resinol soap and hot
water. Work the creamy-resinol lather
well into the scalp. Rinse with grad¬
ually cooler water, the last water be¬
ing cold. Resinol ointment and resinol
soap are sold by ail druggists.—Adv.

Lesson
(By E. O. SELLERS. Acting Director of
Sunday School Course, Moody Bible In¬
stitute. Chicago.)
LESSON FOR APRIL 4
SAUL REJECTED BY THE LORD.
LESSON TEXT-I Samuel 15:10-23.
GOLDEN TEXT—Behold, to obey is bet¬
ter than sacrifice.—I Samuel 15:22.
Jonathan's victory (cli. 14) brought
with it a sinning on the part of the
hungry, harassed Israelites in that
they ate of the spoils “with the blood”
(14:31, 32; Lev. 3:17, 7:26). In the
emergency Saul erected “the first al¬
tar that he built unto the Lord” (ch
14:35), a rather dilatory act on the
part of a God-anointed king. Saul had
resorted to the subterfuge of com¬
manding the people “to roll a great
stone,” i.e., cut the throats of the ani¬
mals of which they had eaten that
they might bleed, and thus be an evi¬
dence that’ the animals had died be¬
fore being eaten. This the people did,
fearing Saul, but having no scruples
in transgressing God’s commands.
These same people rescued Jonathan
from the foolish vow of Saul, for it
was his faith and valor that had chief¬
ly brought about the victory.
I. God’s Sorrow, vv. 10-12. Samuel
had first revealed God’s purpose in
making Saul king, and likewise first
declared God’s purpose to dispose of
Saul (v. 10). Saul’s actions (vv. 1-9)
had stamped him as being no longer
worthy of God’s confidence. The
word “repenteth,” meaning “to sigh”
(v. 11), denotes a change of feeling
due to Saul’s actions and not to any
change in the character, purpose or
desires of Good. God was sorry that
Saul had proved himself unworthy.
A half-way obedience of God’s com¬
mand only heightened his guilt.
"Whatever moral difficulties seem to
lie, for a later age, in Saul’s commis¬
sion aga ; nst Amalek, there were none
such for him” (Vaughn). Man’s re¬
pentance involves a change of mind
and purpose. In Saul’s case God re¬
pented, changed the instrument of his
execution, because of the change of
circumstances and relation. God is
ever the same; it is man alone who
changes. Saul had given Samuel
cause for anger (v. 11 R. V.), but he
did the wise thing in taking-it to God
in prayer. Arising early the next
morning Samuel hastened to acquaint
Saul with Jehovah’s message. It is
remarkable of how many of the great
men of the Bible it is said that they
rose early, Abraham, Gideon, Joshua,
Job, Jacob, Moses, etc., not to forget
our Lord Jesus.
II. Samuel’s Rebuke, vv. 13-19. It
must have been a striking scene when
the aged Naza.ite prophet faced the
proud but recreant king. A guilty
conscience is often covered by a great
show of piety (v. 13), but such acts
cannot stifle the conviction of the
heart nor deceive the righteous judge.
Sin proclaims itself even as Samuel’s
sharp question brought conviction
from the lips of Saul (v. 14; Prov.
28:13). Saul thought to deceive Sam¬
uel by using a falsehood (v. 15). The
only safe course is to confess our
sins (Ps. 32:15; I. John 1:9). There
is an interesting suggestion in the
way Saul uses the impersonal “they”
and “we” in verse 15, as if to lay
the guilt of his acts upon others. It
is easy for the sinner to blame others
and seek to minimize his own guilt
(Rom. 14:12). Verse 9 clearly in¬
dicates why Saul and the people had
spared the best of the cattle. To use
a part only for God and the rest for
self in direct disobedience to God’s
rights or the rights of others is to
incur his righteous wrath (vv. 22, 23).
Samuel did not tell Saul what he
thought of him but simply and direct¬
ly delivered words (v. 16 1. c.). Re¬
calling Saul’s beginnings as king of
Israel, emphasizing God’s mercy and
grace, Samuel recounts God’s com¬
mand regarding the Amalekites.
These are a type of the flesh and for
such God has no mercy except that
of Calvary (Gal. 5:24). Samuel ef¬
fectually swept aside Saul’s sophistry
by his direct question (v. 19) which
demand a straightforward answer.
III. Saul’s Self-Rejection, vv. 2C-23.
God set Saul aside because he had
rejected the right and chose the
wrong. Face to face with his sin
Saul could not dodge the issue. Sam¬
uel’s “wherefore” (v. 19) must have
aroused Saul’s guilty conscience. It
is a question which should reach every
tempted soul. Samuel characterized
Saul’s sin as being due to stubborn¬
ness, rebellion, disobedience and a re¬
jection of God (v. 19). Again Saul
seeks to evade his responsibility (vv.
20, 21). Then Samuel speaks plainly
(v. 22) comparing his sin of disobedi¬
ence with witchcraft, stubbornness,
iniquity and idolatry. Plainly he tells
Saul, “Because thou hast rejected the
word of the Lord, he hath also reject¬
ed thee from being king” (v. 23).
Driven thus to a corner Saul made
a confession of his guilt (v. 24) but
spoiled it all by acknowledging that
he had greater fear of the people than
of God. His sorrow was that of the
man who was caught in an act of
transgression and not because of the
sinfulness of his deed. God had for¬
saken Saul and therefore Samuel
parts company with him also (vv. 25,
26). Saul’s rending of Samuel’s gar¬
ment (vv. 27, 2S) is used as a parable
of the forthcoming rent kingdom.
Samuel takes occasion to suggest that
God, “the Strength of Israel,” had
won the recent victory and that God
was not guilty of lying nor had he
changed. Saul makes one more plea
in which he acknowledged his depar¬
ture from God by the words, “that I
may worship the Lord thy God.”
There was a continuance of the out¬
ward form of worship before the eld¬
ers add the people but both God and
Samuel separated themselves from
Saul; the cruel, Woody Agag is exe¬
cuted and Samuel retires to Ramah to
mourn over this fallen, prodigal king,
and never to see him again.

A contributor to the Docket sends
the following concerning a law of
North Carolina:
“It was probably a surprise to the
justices of the North Carolina su¬
preme court to learn the general as¬
sembly’s opinion of their needs, as ex¬
pressed in chapter 156 of the Public
General Laws of 1911 as follows:
‘Section 1. ThatKhe fireman of the
court building, shall be ap¬
pointed by the chief justice and as¬
sociate justices of the supreme court,
and when not engaged in his duties as
fireman shall act as assistant janitor
of the supreme court, and shall assist
in the cleaning and care of the su¬
preme court and perform such other
duties as may be designated by the
said justices of the supreme court.’
“It seems that the general assem¬
bly has here created the office of fire¬
man-bath attendant-nurse.”

A Lady Writes She Suffered So,
Would Have To Stay In Bed For
Days. Is Now Well.
Cartersville, Ga.—The following is
from Mrs. Will T. Lawhon, of Carters¬
ville: “I am writing this because I
want other women to know what
Cardui has done for me.
Before I commenced taking Cardui,
I had headache so bad, I would have
to stay in bed for days at a time. I
suffered untold misery with my head
and back.
I saw Cardui advertised and decided
to try it. 1 took three bottles. After
taking the first bottle, 1 could see a
vast difference in my feelings, and de¬
cided to take the second, and took
three in all.
After taking the third bottle, I felt
like a new woman altogether, and I
will always praise Cardui as a boon to
woman’s ills.
I believe it saved my life and I am
now a well, healthy woman, and my
husband joins me in my praise for
Cardui.
Before I began taking Cardui, I was
irregular, but since I began taking it,
I have been regular and without any
pain.
Everyone tells me I am the picture
of health since taking Cardui. I will
recommend it to every suffering
woman.”
If you suffer from any of the ail¬
ments so common to women, or if you
feel the need of a good strengthening
tonic, why not give Cardui, the wom¬
an’s tonic, a trial? Begin today.

Scientists Have Been Giving the Mat¬
ter Attention and Now Are Out
With Explanation.
The alleged harmfulness of moon¬
light is at last receiving scientific at¬
tention. It seems that the light of the
moon, being refleeted, is polarized;
that is, the vibrations are in one plane
instead of all planes, as in light com¬
ing directly from its source. It; is
also said that it has less germicidal
power than direct light, and that de¬
cay is therefore quicker.
All this may be true, and it may ex¬
plain some of the folklore as to moon¬
light. We have so long believed these
tales to be the myths of primitive peo¬
ples that we are not inclined to take
any suggestions in this line seriously.
They are really mistaken attempts at
the scientific explanation of phe¬
nomena noticed for the first time.
The folk-tales seem to have orig¬
inated in lands of very clear atmos¬
phere, and it is extremely doubtful
whether in northern misty climates
moonlight has any ocular or nervous
effect one way or the other. Still we
are often surprised at the facts elicited
from still more bizarre investigations.
Surely polarized light must have in¬
jurious rectinal effects, and it might
he well to find out that much.

Victor Emmanuel, king of Italy, is
a keen fisherman and spends hour
after hour with his rod, though the
best of luck does not always attend
his piscatorial expeditions. Once,
after several hours’ angling had
brought him only three poor fish and
he was returning to the castle, he was
met by a peasant with a magnificent
catch of trout. “You seem to be no
great fisherman, to judge by your
catch,” commented the peasant. “I
should say you were about as lucky
as the king.” “Why?” inquired his
majesty. "Oh,” replied the peasant,
“he thinks a great deal of himself as
a sportsman, but he is a poor body,
much more fit to be a king than a
fisherman.”

Certainly Not Scotch.
Guests of the late Sir Henry Camp¬
bell-Bannerman were discussing the
nationality of J. H. Taylor, the former
golf champion, writes a contributor to
Fry’s Magazine, and one of the party
asserted that the player was a Scot.
Sir Henry was inclined to agree with
him.
“Well,” said one of the visitors, “all
I know about Taylor is that he’s a very
nice man. My club engaged him to
play an exhibition match at a fixed fee,
but it was so wet that play was impos¬
sible. When he was offered the fee
he firmly refused to take it, and would
receive only his bare traveling ex¬
penses.”
Campbell-Bannerman turned to the
other man who had been so sure of
Taylor’s Caledonian birth and said.
“I’m afraid that fact is fatal to our
contention.”
