LESSON
Tor May 16—I Sam. 7
BY DB. MABION M’H. HULL
Golden Text: “Direct your hearts unto
Jehovah, and serve Him only.’’ 1 Sam. 7:4.
The ark o£ God was not so valuable a
possession to the I’hilistiues as they liau at
lirst supposed. It was placed in the temple
of Dagau at Asudod as a trophy of their
victory and as uu evidence of their thanks
to their god for his help; but in the morn
ing Dagon was fallen on bis lace before
the ark of Jehovah. They set him in his
place again, but next morning he had
fallen down again before the urn, and his
head and arms were cut off, so that only
the stump remained. Moreover, the men of
the city were afflicted with a terrific epi
demic, in -which scores died. The ark was
then moved to Gath, and the epidemic broke
out there. They were about to take it to
Ekron, but the men of that city objected,
it was a “white elephant’’ on their hands.
They were at their wits’ end to know what
to do with it. A great conclave of priests
and divines was called to solve the problem.
The outcome of this was that the ark was
to be returned to the country of Israel, but
with a trespass offering of five golden
mice and five golden emerods, representing
the five cities of the Philistines and their
leaders. The mice were probably chosen
because they had been most likely the car
riers of the infection and the exciting cause
of the spread of the epidemic of emorods
which had wrought such havoc among the
Philistines.
The scheme the diviners planned was an
interesting one —a new cart was to be made,
on which the ark was placed, and it was
to be drawn by two -cows fresh-in milk, their
calves being kept at home. They were not
to be driven. If the cows came back to
their calves when turned loose, the epidemic
was due to something else; but if they did
the unnatural thing and drew the ark toward
tlie land of Israel and away from their
calves, it was to be proof that the epidemic
was due to the displeasure of God against
them.
Well, the unexpected happened! The
cows left their calves lowing as they went
and wade a straight course for Betbshe
mesh, in the land of Judah. There was
great rejoicing when the Jews saw it; and,
in the sight of the five lords of the Philis
tines who had followed to see what would
be the result of this test, they made an
offering to God, using the wood of the cart
for fuel and the cows for the sacrifices.
But the men of Bethshemesh sinned. They
looked into the ark. It may have been out
of curiosity, or it may have been to assure
themselves that the Philistines had not re
moved any of its precious contents —the
tables of the law, Aaron’s tod, and the pot
of manna. The result was that 50,070 of
them were slain. Why so disastrous a re
sult? They knew better; the Philistines
didn’t. God will excuse some things in a
heathen Chinee for whl&i He will hold you
strictly to account; for you know, and the
Chinee doesn’t.
The men of Bethshemesh were terrified
and sent messengers to the next town —
Kirjath-jearim—whence proper men came
and brought it, and cared for it properly.
Here it remained for twenty years in the
house of Abinadab. It had been in the land
of the Philistines seven months.
Repentance
There Is no evidence, however, that this
became the center of worship. The taber
nacle was still at Shiloh, and the ark at
Kirjath-jearim. The inference is that Is
rael neglected the worship of Jehovah all of
these vears; it is certain they were under
the yoke of the Philistines. Only an idea
can be gained from this as to the lowness
of their spiritual state. During all these
years Samuel hud been urging them to re
turn to the Lord. At first the young
prophet’s words made no impression, but
after a while they began to mourn before
the Lord, and to do what Samuel had all
along been urging—to return to the Lord.
Repentance, then as now, involved more
than lamenting. It meant renunciation and
restitution. They had to put awmy their
idols and put on God. They had to pre
pare (or as the revised version has it, di
rect) their hearts to the Lord and serve
Him only. It had to be a complete sur
render of themselves and all they were.
And Samuel was safe in promising them
complete deliverance from their enemies
when they had turned to God “with all their
hearts.” To their credit be it said that
these erring Israelites obeyed. They re
turned to God with all their hearts. They
showed their sorrow for their past deflec
tions by a complete change of life. They
put away the strange gods that were among
them, and served only. You are
conscious that you have sinned, you are suf
fering for that sin, mentally and otherwise;
you lament before God. But that is not
enough. You must put away the thing that
has caused you to sin—it may be the dear
est thing that your heart possesses, but it
must be put away, if you are to serve God
only. I am glad the Holy Spirit put that
“only” in verse 4. It is the only kind of
service God will have. Until you put away
the thing that has made you sin, you are
putting something else or someone else in
your hearts’ affections God demands for
Himself only.
Restoration
Samuel gathered the people at Mizpah for
a great prayer meeting. The nation, as
well as individuals in it had sinned, and
public confession was necessary. So the
people drew water and poured it out be
fore God, and fasted, saying, “We have

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
Miss Mary. Here comes a lonelv
boy from Collins, Ga., for advice. 1
have been going’ with a girl for four
months, and I love her dearly and
she seemed to think lots of me, until
I disappointed her. I made three
dates with her, but something arose
which prevented me from filling the
engagements. But I wrote her and
explained. The last letter that I got
from her she said I needn’t come any
snore to see her, that she was sorry,
but she couldn’t go with me again.
Please tell me how I may go to see
her again. I hate to give her up.
Hoping to see this letter in print
soon. W. G. J.
W. G. J.—ls you willfully broke
an engagement with the girl,
that was wrong, but if you told
her it was unavoidable, and ex
plained the reason, she did not
treat you right. And it appears
to me she cares very little for
you. And took the first oppor
tunity that presented itself and
let you slide. But if you are
willing to eat “humble pie” then
go to her, or write to her and
implore her to take you back.
But that will only wake matters
worse, for she will treat you
more indifferently in the future.
Dear Miss Mary. I am coming to
you for advice. I am a boy of six
teen, am in the eighth grade. My
father does not treat me right for
he makes me do all of the house
work and he does not give me any
thing but my clothes that I work in
the fifeld with. And he is always
quarreling with me all the time. And
my brothers, older than me, pick
on me all the time and shove the
smaller ones ahead of me, and told
me if I wanted to leave to get my
hat and go the road. My uncle told
me if he were me he would leave.
Please give me your best advice. I
am a lonely boy at home.
GRAY EYES.
Gray Eyes.—ls your father
treats ycu meanly and abuses
you, you are old enough to look
out fcr yourself and even if you
have to work in some other
farmer’s field, it is best to do
that than to lead a dog’s life at
home. *
I can readily understand and
appreciate your position. I have
spent a great deal of time in
the country, in many states, and
not only the country but the
cities hold fathers just like yours.
They have an idea that a child
is a dog, to be cuffed about at
will. Some men are so brutal
to tbeir wives and children they
ought to be put in the peniten
tiary. Many a boy and girl have
left home and owed their down
fall to their “good-for-nothin n ’
father.” However, maybe you
aren’t doing your part. Have
you tried to help and not fall
cown on the job when you were
told to do something? If you are
sure you are not to blame, then
try to find a place and go to
•work for yourself.
I am coming to you for advice.
I want you to tell me where there is
a place in Atlanta where I can go
and learn hair dressing. Please tell
me their address and their prices
on learning. And have they a board
ing place for girls, or not, and what
does one have to pay for board.
Please answer this through The
Atlanta Tri-Weekly Journal. Thank
ing you for your advice.
Yours truly,
SUGAR-LUMP.
Anxious.—Yes, there are sev
eral hair dressing parlors here in
Atlanta, and I think they take
girls to learn the business. You
may write to the S. A. Clayton
company, 18 East Hunter street,
Atlanta, and find out directly
from them, just what you wish
to know. They have the largest
establishment in the city. And
are very nice people. They will
give you full information. Di
rect your letter to Mrs. Blake,
manager.
I am a boy 13, coming to -you for
advice. I have been going to school
but had to quit. I can’t do any good
with my books. I anj thinking of
Binned against the Lord.” The pouring out
of water, the fasting, and the verbal con
fession were all one and the same thing.
The lirst typitied their drawing out from
the depths of their souls the thing that
had caused their sins and pouring it out
before God as an evidence that they were
emptying themselves of it before God. The
fast was another way of putting away from
them the thing that had been pleasing them.
The confession was the outward and ver
bal expression of it.
This was the necessary thing to do, but
it was the very time that their enemies at
tacked them. The Philistines may have
thought the gathering for another purpose,
or they may have been afraid themselves i
of a praying Israel. At any rate, they at
tacked them, and Israel was afraid. Don’t
blame Israel, you would’ have been afraid,
too, if you had been in their sandals. But
they knew what to do this time. They
didn’t make the same mistake twice. They
asked Samuel to pray without ceasing for
them and to claim the promises that God
would deliver them since they had turned to
Him with all their hearts.
And as an evidence of this Samuel offered
up as a whole burnt offering a sucking
lamb. Have you ever noticed especially a
sucking lamb? No better symbol of weak
ness, and helplessness, and wholeheartedness
could have been chosen. God heard such a
prayer, and even while the sacrifice was
being made (notice the “as” of verse 10)
tlie Lord fought for them, and discomfited
the Philistines and smote them before
Israel—using thunder and lightning as His
means. The victory was complete, for it
was the Lord’s. Israel followed as He led,
and the Philistines were driven out of the
land of Israel, never to return! The cities
which they had takek were restored to
Israel, and not only was there peace be
tween Israel and the Philistines, but be
tween Israel and the Amorites also.
Midway between Mizpah, where the at
tack was made, and Shen, where the victory
was completed, S'amuel set up a stone which
he called Ebenezer, “the stone of help,”
saying, “Hitherto hath Jehovah helped uus.”
It was a memorial to the fact that the vic
tory had been won by God and given them as
a gift. It was a continued reminder to
them of His grace and a stimulant to praise
and thanksgiving. Then all their cities
which the Philistines had taken from them
were restored, and peace reigned every
where.
Reunion
One of the most interesting touches is
then given; it is almost hidden, so little is
said of it. Samuel judged Israel all the
rest of his life, going from place to place
as a. circuit rider or circuit judge. But his
headquarters were at Karnak, his boyhood
home! He was still a young man when the
victory over tlie Philistines was accom
plished, and it is more than probable that
his mother was still living. How wonder
fully delightful it must have been to her
then to have him come back to the old
home to live! To have him as the comfort
of her declining years! To have the pleas
ure and the natural pride, too, at having
with her frequently her firstborn and to
appreciate that he was the leading man of
his people! Ah! it was delightful to Han
nah. She had given him to the Lord before
he was born; when lie was five years old
she had lent him for the temple service,
but now. in her declining years, God gives
him back to her as His representative and
as the leading man of Israel! Good meas
ure pressed down and running over! Does
investing witli God pay?
Have you been defeated? Have you been
in bondage to your arch enemy? Has the
devil been cheating you out of the joy and
power and peace that belong to you as a
child of God? Has he possession of some
of your cities? Have you been finding
him a hard taskmaster like the Israelites
found the Philistines? Have you allowed
yourself to fall into his easy ways and
away from God’s strait and narrow way,
until you have well-nigh lost sight of the
God of your fathers?
Then if you will return unto Him “with
all of your heart” He will deliver you
out of the hand of your enemies. Tlie
steps are very simple, they are very plain,
but they are very exacting. Repentance
involves not only lamenting over your con
dition, but return to the Lord. Returning
to God involves putting away all other gods,
and pouring out your soul in confession,
emptying yourself of every known sin.
It is just at this point that your enemy
will attack you most severely. He doesn’t
want to lose you; at the very moment of
absolute renunciation of self and siu, you
may expect a violent attack from him.
You may tremble, but cast yourself wholly
on God in all your weakness (as Samuel
offered up the sucking lamb), and God will
discomfit and drive him away completely,
even if it takes a thunderstorm to do it!
The victory will be so somplete that all
the cities he has taken from you will be
restored. And it will all be without effort,
on your part—just a gift, accomplished
for you by the work of Another, and handed
over to you. Your part is receiving what
He has done for you.
Then raise an Ebenezer: and often look
back to the cross of Jesus Christ where
the victory was won for you, and say.
“Hitherto hath the Lord helped me” —and
“Henceforth He will help me,”
traveling some. Do you think it
would be best for me? I can’t get in
terested in school. So I will close.
Thank you for advice. H. D.
You are not the only boy who
has felt that way. In the early
springtime you may go where
you please and you will find lots
of boys your age and older, who
are going over in their winds the
wonderful voyages they are going
to have. Some want to be pi
rates, some conductors on trains,
some want to ride around at
breakneck speed on a bucking
broncho, others, fall millions of
feet from an airplane into a
dashing automobile. Little boy,
there are others just like you. I
have had them to tell me what
they wanted to do. But my ad
vice has been pretty much the
same. Stick to school a while
longer. Now when you are fif
teen and school is still unat
tractive, and you will have made
up your mind you shan’t study
at the tiresome old desk any
more, find out what you want
to do and go to it. But stick to
whatever you undertake, if it is
right.
I’m a little girl of thirteen years.
What colors would suit me most? I
have light hair, fair complexion and
blue eyes. Am I too young to wear
silk hose? Won’t you please tell me
where I can get the music, “Long
Boy?” Thanking you for advice.
RAINBOW.
You can wear most any color
and look well in it, for you are
young, and young girls can wear
most any shade. Silk hose are
all right if one can afford them,
but lisle hose look much better
than very thin, cheap looking
silk hose. If you will write to
the Cable Piano company, in At
lanta, on Broad street, they may
be able to send you the song,
“Long Boy.” They have a large
store and carry all kinds of mu
sic.
Here comes a North Carolina girl
coming to you for advice. I am go
ing with a boy of nineteen. I am
sixteen. I love this boy dearly, but
on account of him being my second
cousin I hate to marry him. Do you
think we are too close kin to get
married? He asked me to marry
him now, but I told him I was too
young. He says he will wait until
I get old enough. Do you think he
loves me? My folks do not object to
me going with him, but his parents
say we are too close kin. He comes
to see me nearly every Saturday
night and Sunday. Thanking you for
advice. SUGAR LUMP.
Second cousins have been
known to marry, and their mar
riages turned out well. If he
loves you and you return his
love, I can not see any great
harm in your two marrying. I
do not think first cousins should
marry. There are so many men
in the world, I never could un
derstand why a girl would want
to marry a near relative. How
ever, there is no harm in you
choosing your second cousin for
a life partner.

JUST A CHICKEN TALK
Every poultry journal and the ma
jority of the people who have writ
ten to me for day-old chicks have la
mented the fact that their hens were
not hatching 50 per cent of the eggs
set. Some want to change breeds on
that account. In an editorial, the
Rhode Island Red Journal says:
“Owing to the extremely backward
season there will be a tremendous
scramble for eggs and baby chicks
in May and June. If the signs do
not fail, the present boom in poultry
will increase for next season. If you
want to get the full benefit of the
wave of prosperity that is bound to
strike poultry breeders next spring
you must prepare now by hatching
as many May and June chicks as you
can raise to advantage. By giving
th© late chicks the same care that is
given the early ones these late chicks
will prove even more profitable than
those hatched early in the year.”
I am sure that this is true, for I
prove it every year. I do hatch a
few in February and some, as a rule,
in January, but the bulk of my Match
and April chicks I sell, because I do
not like to ship chicks in warm
weather. I set a hundred eggs, un
der seven hens, last week, and from
now till June shall set a few.
Push your young stock. Get out of
the idea that a range of a few acres
can supply everything a yoi»g chick
en needs. Put your common sense to
work. How many grasshoppers can
you find now? Have a feed coop that
the young chickens can go to at ail
times and find a clean vessel with
fresh buttermilk or firm clabber.
White diarrhoea cannot flourish in a
system that is full of clean butter
milk. Keep these late-hatched
chicks to themselves. I have a. run
about thirty feet wide and nearly two
hundred long that will have no grown
fowls: the mother hens are to be in
boxes about 2 1-2 feet wide and that
high and three feet long. I put a
piece of poultry wire over one end
and a cover of rubber roofing. The
hen stays warm and dry and the lit
tle ones have a happy time in and
out. After a week I let the hen
out In the middle of the day and
gradually lengthen the. time. At
night every mother hen is shut up.
The runs are not fixed so that our
dog can protect them, so I have to
look after the midnight prowlers.
There has been so much rain that
my rape has never been planted.
There are gardens in this community
that have not a seed in them. This
run will have sunflowers, Shallu and
I shall scatter some rape for the
chickens to pick. Later we may sow
some peas in the lower hundred feet.
Do not hatch off more young chick
ens than you are willing, or have
the time to handle individually. Ev
ery two weeks catch every one, and
put a touch of carbolated vaseline
on the head, under the beak and each
wing. Do this in the afternoon so
Taking Care of Blankets
During the Summer Time
Preserving the softness and fluffi
ness of woolen garments, blankets,
etc., is often a problem to the house
wife. In spring when everything that
is to be packed away must be clean
ed, the task of washing sweaters,
blankets and the like arises. Fre
quently the process of laundering
leaves woolen materials harsh and
stiff. The reason is not hard to
guess. The lanolin fat which keeps
wool soft and fluffy has been re
moved by the use of too strong a
soap. So let us use only a neutral
soap when washing woolen articles.
Always have the soap in solution.
This can bo easily accomplished by
using some of the prepared, reliable
flake 3 that are on the market. Or,
if you prefer, shave a mild soap into
flakes or allow the soap to stand in
hot water until it becomes a jelly.
In any event add the quantity of
soap needed to boiling hot water. Dis ■
solve thoroughly and whip the solu
tion into a foamy lather.
The next step is to add sufficient
cold water to this lather to reduce
its temperature to blood heat. Now
all is in readiness for the article that
is to be washed. Immerse it in the
suds and squeeze it much in the same
way as though you were squeezing
water from a sponge. It is the
squeezing that constantly works out
the old suds and causes more suds
to penetrate the fiber. Continue the
washing process until the suds leav-

can buy the stock dip In gallon cans
easier than the others and it does the
work. I paint my roosts with it.
Crude oil or black oil is good, but
the hens get smeared and it will
| prevent the eggs from hatching. A
letter received last week said, “Please
tell me all about running an incu
bator.”
There are no two incubators made
alike. Get the one you want and
study its directions ’ carefully and
lose the idea that you know more
than the manufacturer. I had a
woman to argue with me that it was
all foolishness not to open the door
of my incubator after the hatch
started. She opens her and takes out
the shells. I afterward heard an
experienced poultry raiser say that
the objection he had to a certain
make (the sort she had) was that
it sweated the eggs too much after
the chicks begaji to hatch. Study
your incubator instructions as long
as you . use the machine, one little
oversight may cause you to lose the
entire hatch.
Feed the really young ones spar
ingly, but after four weeks old give
them all they will clean up three
times a day. I have some that are
three weeks old today and they
average eight ounces each. They
are not fat, just big frames and
good bones. They averaged one
ounce when a week old, three when
two weeks old and must weigh al
most three times that when eight
weeks old. I am not pushing them.
I simply let them have just enough
feed, clean water, one good morning
meal of buttermilk, before they get
anything else, and a place entirely
to themselves.
By the eighth of May I like for
my turkeys to be hatched. This
year they had been under the hen
just a week. But I hope great
things from those eggs. Now re
member, one heaping teaspoonful of
powdered nux vomica to a pint of
meal, mix with water and make a
crumbly dough. Feed night and
morning three times, then every
morning or at noon, according to
when the hawk comes. This kills
. rats and possums, but does not hurt
people. If —ou haven’t chickens
enough to eat that much before they
leave the place do not mix so much,
sour dough causes bowel trouble.
This is my proportion for chickens
under a month old, so it does not
pay to mix a pint unless you’ve a
number of chickens. It’s the only
time I feed dough.
ing the sweater are snowy w’hlte.
Just how many waters will be re
quired to,bring about this snowy
whiteness depends upon the condi
tion of the article that is being
washed.
All the water that is used must
be of the same temperature. Each of
the successive suds requires less soap
than the preceding one. Both a
cleaning and semi-rinsing process <s
being accomplished at one and the
same time. When the actual rinsing
takes place dissolve a very smaL
quantity of soap in each of the wa
ters. ThiS prevents any possible
loss of the all too valuable lanolin,
fat.
If it is a sweater that has been
laundered squeeze out all the water
possible, never wring through a
wringer, and lay flat to dry. Never
hang a woolen garment to dry. Tlu
distribution of weight would be un
even and the garment would lose its
shape. Too rapid or too slow a dry
ing process causes wool to shrink.
Dry all woolen articles out of doors
if possible. The sun and air will not
only act as drying agents, but as
purifying agents as -well.
If blankets are to be laundered
follow the same process as for
sweaters. When ready to dry fold
evenly corner to corner. Hang on
a line so that half of the folded
blanket is on one side and half on
the other. The weight will then bJ
evenly distributed and the blanket
will retain its original shape and
size. It may be well to add that
washing machines are an ideal con
trivance with which to wash blankets.
