PRODUCTION AND MARKETING
AIDED BY COMMUNITY FAIRS
Neighborhoods Should Begin Now to Plan for- Fall Exhibits—Well-
Managed Events Advertise Producers and Their
- Products and Promote Community Spirit.
If a community bloweth not its
own hofn- by some fOrni of com
munit yactiVities, verily by whom
shall it be blown?
Advertisers have discovered that
good characteristics of their prod
ucts which are so familiar to them
as to ?eehi commonplace are often
not so well known to the great buy
ing public. must be talked
about if business is to be secured.
The same holds true with communi
ties. The excellence of neighbor
hood products and the special lines
in which various individuals excel
may seem like a very old story to
those immediately concerned, but
there are plenty of folks near by
who have not heard this story, or,
if by chance they have heard it, it
is very much worth while from a
business standpoint to repeat it —
and more than once.
Exhibits Stimulate Business
It follows that promoting some
form of community fair, such as an
exhibit of local products, is profita
ble from many points of view. It
stimulates better production of stock,
farm produce, and garden truck. It
engenders community pride, and ad
vertises in an attractive fashion
good products and those who pro
duced them.
As a result of careful stoudy of
the methods of conducting commun
ity fairs specialists in the United
States department of agriculture
outline a definite procedure for those
interested in promoting such neigh
borhood events. Community fairs—-
the successful ones—are not gotten
up in a day or a week. Prepara
tions, should begin weeks in advance.
It is not too early now to begin
planning for an exhibit this autumn.
The first step is to get together the
leaders of different organizations for
a discussion of the proposed fair. At
this meeting a general outline of the
plan to be followed should be pre
sented for approval. The meeting,
to be thoroughly representative,
should be \vell advertised with post
ers, newspaper notices and post
cards addressed to eac hfamily.
If the community decides to hold
a fair, an organization should be
formed, officers elected and commit
tees appointed. The latter should
include committees on amusement
and entertainments, arrangements,
decorations and publicity. These are
general committees. In addition,
there should be exhibit department
committees for such exhibits as live
stock, farm products, women’s work,
and fine arts, school and club ex
hibits, and historical relics.
Too much emphasis cannot be
placed upon. properly advertising
the fair through articles in the lo
cal papers, printed handbills, hand
made posters, notices read, prefer
ably several times, in the schools
and churches, and in various other
ways. The publicity committee
should give special attention to ad
vertising in neighboring communi
ties. extending an invitation in
such cordial terms that many who
QUICK WORK REQUIRED IN
PREPARING CORN FOR DRYING
Dried Corn Is Delicious, no Cans, Keeps Well, and Is Easily
Stored; Start Corn Drying Soon After It Is
Gathered and Cut Off
A vegetable which, when dried. Is
above criticism even by the most
critical, is corn. Other kinds of
garden products may or may not be
liked by many people, but dried corn
is the equal if not the superior of
canned corn and can be used for.
practically as wide a variety of
purposes. The following directions
for drying it are those advised by
the United States department of
agriculture.
Any'of the varieties of sweet corn
having qualities desirable for table
use will make a good dried product,
Corn intended for dryring should be
gathered when in the rrillk stage,
before glazing and hardening have
begun and when the corn is in an
ideal condition fbr immediate table
use. It should be gathered only as
it can be prepared for drying, as
corn deteriorates rapidly.
Careful Preparation Essential
Husk the ears and trim with a
knife to remove any injuries. The
silk need not be removed, as it can
be readily separated from the corn
after drying. Place the ears in wire
baskets or boxes and
plunge into boiling water for eight
to twelve minutes, or until the milk
is set. A little salt may be added to
the water if desired. Divide the
corn into older and younger lots be
fore blanching, as the younger ears
require somewhat longer cooking
than th© older ories.
After cooking, remove corn from
the water, allow it to drain and
cool sufficiently to be handled and
cut from the cobs with a strong,
sharp knife, taking care that none
of the cob is removed with the ker
nels. The glumes or the hull at
tachments at the tip of the grains
ordinarily do not visit the communi
ty holding the exhibit will be in
duced to do so.
Grouping of Exhibits
Th© exhibit should represent as
nearly as possible the normal pro
duction of the community, for one of
the purposes of such a fair is to
stimulate interest in increasing the
quantity and improving the quality
of the average produce, as well as
giving special recognition to the
leaders in different lines. Freak ex
hibits are to be avoided. The com
mittees should make it a point per
sonally to solicit exhibits from all
persons eligible, not failing to em
phasize the business benefits which
may result.
Satisfactory results are usually
obtained by grouping certain classes
of exhibits. In the live stock de
partment, horses, cattle, swine, poul
try and pets are exhibited. In the
farm-products department are shown
grains, seeds, grasses, forage crops,
beans, peas, peanuts, potatoes, to
gether with dairy products and bee
products. The orchard and garden
department includes such exhibits
as fruits and vegetables, ornament
al shrubbery. and flowers. The
women’s work and fine-arts depart
ment has large possibilities, and can
include a great variety of products
prepared by the mothers and daugh
ters.
Much of the success of the exhibit
depends upon securing judges of
ability and experience—preferably
persons from outside the community.
Usually judges are available who
can be secured at little or no ex
pense.
Cash Frizes Not Necessary
A community effort is most suc
cessful when the primary aim of
an exhibitor is not to win money
prizes as compensation for prepar
ing his exhibit. Experience has
proved that the awarding of money
prizes not only makes the cost of a
community fair prohibitive, but
places the emphasis on money in
stead of the honor of achievement,
and so tends to defeat one of the
purposes of the event. Excellent re
sults have been obtained merely by
awarding blue, red and white rib
bons to. designate first, second and
third prizes, respectively.
Such a fair as described here does
not require the expenditure of large
sums of money. No charges rieed
be made for entry of exhibits or
gate admissions. A small fund, how
ever, is needed for printing, general
advertising, lumber for tables,
shelves, live stock pens, premium
ribbons, decorations, etc. This can
be raised either by subscription or
by selling advertising space in the
premium list or fair catalogue.
Persons interested in securing fur-’
ther information on the successful
management of community fairs
should w’rite the United States de
partment of agriculture for litera
ture on this subject.
ar© easily gcreened out after the
corn becomes dry. Spread the ker
nels upon trays to a depth of one
Inch if drying is done in a drier,
or one-eighth to five-eighths inch if
the corn is to be dried in 4he sun.
Stir the grains thoroughly several
times during the drying to break up
any compact masses.
Sun Factor in Drying Corn
It is practically impossible to
bring corn to a sufficient degree of
dryness by the unaided heat of the
sun. If corn is dried in the sun it
should be finished by pouring into
bread pans, placing in the oven of the
stove, and warming to 160 degrees to
165 degrees F. for two hours. Wheth
er the drying is done in the sun, in
a cook-stove drier, or in a commer
cial drier, it should be continued until
-the grains are hard, semi-transpar
ent, and will break with clean, glass
like fractures if crushed.
Before storing free the corn of
silks, glumes and bits of cob. This
may be done by pouring the corn
from one vessel to another in a
strong draft. When the corn is dry,
store in closely woven muslin bags
or heavy paper bags. Tie tightly at
the neck and place within a larger
bag, which also should be tightly
tied.
Do not allow the drying process
to stop from the time it is started
until the corn is fajrly dry. Corn is
a product which contains consider
able sugar and protein, and if the
drying process is allowed to stop
bacteria are apt to develop and sour
ing take place. Protect it from ' in
sects. If sun drying is interrupted by
cloudy weather or showers, remove
corn to the stove and continue dry
ing or the product may spoil.
The Future and the Past
The boy, hat askew, on uncombed
locks, sat barelegged on a brooklet’s
shaggy bank. In full splendor the
soothing sun fell on the careless hand
that held a pole whose baited line
swayed in the ripping water’s whirl.
Near the bandaged foot a dog lay
sleeping. From over the hills came
the faint sound of a lumbering wagon.
A little space away, in a quiet spot
of water, frogs gulped and chirped
and splashed. The boy, his back
against a kindly tree, his eyes near
closed, sat in God’s busy stillness
and dreamed. For him time took a
flight of years—he dreamed of him
self, A MAN.
A man, thinning of whose hair no
hat could hide, stood likewise on a
brooklet’s shabby bank. The filtered
sunlight coming through the trees,
fell upon his well-groomed hand,
which held the gloves he usually
wore. His well-shaped hat, his fitted
clothes, his polished shoes bespoke
success. His head held high, he
breathed the life-giving air with hun
gry impatience. He smelled the smell
of living things and heard the sounds
of growing life with an unwonted
smile upon his town-bleached face.
And, as he stood, he dreamed—dream
ed of a time not long gone—dreamed
of himself, A BOY.

OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O.THOMAS
FOR MRS. HOUSEWIFE
Mrs. M. D. eneburages just When
I need it, for I have often wondered
if the time and thougltt I put on
solving these home problems really
helped the housekeeper, and at this
time, when things are even beyond
the war prices it is quite an encour
agement to be told that even one
family has corn and beans and toma
toes because I taught the housewife
how to make her canner and sterilize
her jars.
Two letters asking for a "recipe for
a tomato catsup recipe prompts me
to give one at this time. In looking
over the proportions I am carried
back by memory to a home in Flor
ida. I arrived Friday, and found the
mother unable to do much canning—•
there were bushels of tomatoes ready
to use, or lose. So early next morn
ing they were gathered and the best
were canned. The riper ones were
to be used in catsup, and here is the
recipe.
Tomato Catsup—Wash and slice
one bushel of ripe tomatoes, put them
on in their own juice! You do not
peel them, so there is no need for
any juice to be wasted. Boil them
briskly until quite tender. Take
them off the fire and put them in an
other vessel, so as to cool quicker.
When you can handle them, rub
through a sieve, then wafeh the
boiler and put them over the fire
and boil until thick. It takes hours
for this, and after the pulp has thick
ened till half has gone, you should
put in three cupfuls of sugar, three
cupfuls good cider vinegar, almost
one of salt, and a tablespoonful of
black pepper. Let this boil until
there is about two gallons. Have
your bottles ready, take them out of
the hot water one at a time. Put a
teaspoonful of vinegar in the bottle
and fill with the hot catsup, seal
while hot. If you have new corks, a
little larger than the bottle mouth,
keep them in boiling water and it
shrinks them. Use them as hot as
you can handle them and you will
not need any wax.
Now is the time to can some of
your hens. They ought to be fat,
and you can’t get much for them.
To Can Poultry—Kill the fowl and
let all the blood drip out. Pick off
the feathers and draw at once, wash
carefully and cool. Place in a wire
basket or thin bag and boil until the
bones will come out clean. After
yoh have removed all the meat from
the bones put it carefully in a hot,
sterilized jar and fill with the liquor,
add a level teaspoonful of salt to
each quart jar. Put on the rubbers
and caps and process three hours.
Seal each jar as you take it out and
set in a cool place. Turn them up
side down one day, then put in the
box or wrap with paper. If you
cook frying sizes three-fourths done
fill the jars with boiling water, add
ing the teaspoonful of salt, and ster
ilize (or process) ninety minutes
Let each jar have some of the grease,
and finish with hot w’ater. The jars
of meat must really boil the time
specified. Always invert to test the
jar tops.
MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
After reading your very good ad
vice in the dear old Journal I
though I would write and ask you
a few questions as you have given
some very good advice.
I have been corresponding with a
boy for about a year until a few
weeks ago, anfl he made a date with
me and didn’t come or did not e-tfen
write ana tell me the reason.
Then the following Sunday night
he took a girl to church near my
hdme and did not even speak to me.
Then a few days later I wrote him
and asked him the reason he did
me such away and I did not even
give him a reason, but he did .not
answer it. ..It was something in the
tetter concerning the girl he was
with and he gave the letter to the
girl and she has it now and is mad
with me.
I have been with the young man
once since then, but at that time I
did not know he had given the girl
the letter. He seems to be just like
always.
He says he loves me but now I
do not believe it. It seems just the
other way.
Is it proper for a girl to read an
other girl’s letter when she objects?
and would you call her a lady or not?
She does not want any boys to call to
see me or my sister.
I have never given her any reason
for such behavior.
What will take freckles off a per
son’s face? I have freckles and fair
complexion. Auburn hair. I weigh
one hundred and forty pounds and
and five feet eight Inches tall.
Is there any harm in girls to go
bathing wiph boys?
Is there any harm in going with
your second cousin?
Is it proper to wear a hair net?
What will make grow?
What is the best powder to use?
Is it all right to use flesh color
powder on fair complexion? Please
answer these questions through the
Semi-Weekly Journal as I am anx
ious to hear from you. Thankiijg you
for your advice.
ANXIOUS BLUE BELL.
Evidently your boy friend has
grown tired of you. I expect
you let him see how much you
really cared for him, and there
by spoiled it all. As I have said
often before, it does not pay to
let a bov see how crazy you are
about him.
It is very rude and unlady
like for a girl to read another’s
mail without her consent and no
well-bred girl would do it. Pay
no attention to the other girl
—you act like you are jealous
and she will only laugh at you
if Y ou let her see that you care.
There is no harm going with
one’s second cousin. Summer
time is hard on freckles. There
is no permanent cure. Stay out
of the glare and sun and if you
have occasion to go, wear a veil
and use a sunshade or umbrella.
Massage the face well each
night with a little peroxide cold
cream and on going out, use a
, good face powder freely. It will
help you. White or flesh powder
is good. It is a matter of prefer
ence. There are so many good
cold creams, and face powders
on the market I can not take the
liberty to tell you which is
best.
I am coming to you for advice;
but not concerning 'the boys. If I
were to go away to college in the
fall, what yould you advise me to
take in xegard to my . wardrobe?
Please tell me what kind of materi
als to use, that will look stylish and
be inexpensive. And about how
many dresses of each kind would it
be necessary to take. Also advise
me about what kind of hat and
shoes will be needed to wear to i
school. I. expect to stay the whole
term, -which is nine months. I am
seventeen years of age, 5 feet, 2
inches tall, weigh ninety-eight
pounds. Do I weigh enough for my I
age? If not, please tell me how to i
gain more flesh. I have blue eyes,
fair complexion and don’t go with
the boys at all. I don’t care any
thing for them; I had lots rather
have a good education. I am in the
ninth grade. Do I write a good
hand? Should my brothers and
sisters be so inquisitive about who
my letters • are from? They seem
to think they should read every one
I get, no matter who it is from.
Although I do not correspond with
boys, I don’t like for them to be so
inquisitive. Should I let them read
them or not, if I don’t want to?
Please answer my questions through
The Tri-Weekly Journal, as I think
th© orphans should cpme first.
DOLLY DIMPLES.

When you are sure all the others
will have apple or berry pies and
the meringue forbids packing, make
this pie.
Lemon-Raisin Pie —To the juice
and grated rind of one lemon add one
cup of boiling water, one cup of
sugar, one cup of seeded raisins, a
lump of butter the size of an egg,
and two tablespoonfuls of flour mix
ed with a very little cold -water.
Boil all together and bake in be
tween twe crusts. Double this
amount makes three pies.
When one has raw tomatoes served
for breakfast the cooked ones are
relished at dinner. To three large
tomatoes sliced add two large sliced
onions, equal amounts of sugar and
salt, and a pinch of soda sis large as
a pea. Cover with water and let
cook thick. Crumble three stale bis
cuits in the cooked mass and add
butter and a cup of sweet milk. Mix
■well and put in the stove to brown,
and I believe you will enjoy the
scalloped tomatoes.

Appreciates The Journal
Dear Mrs. Thomas: As you have
been so much help to me thought
I would write you a few lines to
let you know that you have been a
real help to me. I have learned to
can anything I want to by following
your directions given in The Jour
nal of May 25, 1917. I have canned
quite a lot of corn by itself and just
one can spoiled. I can by the cold
pack method all the time. You also
taught me how to make my own
canner and it is so much easier than
the old way, after you get fixed for
it. But there are so many that
think it too much trouble to fix for
it, and they will say, “I wish I
could keep canned beans or corn
like you do,” when they will not
even try after you tell them how it
is done. Just a word about my
chickens. I am trying the reds
this year and like them fine, have
not lost one by disease, but I could
not get eggs to set to raise as many
as I wanted this year.
I enjoy reading what you write
for The Journal, for I always know
I am going to learn something that
will be a benefit to me, and that is
what I want and what I read it for.
If more would read to learrn things
that would be of benefit to them
instead of reading just to pass off
time, they would know more about
the things they need to do.
I certainly enjoy reading good pa
pers like The Journal. There are
some that say they don’t have time
to read newspapers, but I can’t see
but what I get my work done as
well as they do and read some too.
So hoping you will live long to
carry on your, good work, I am,
Your friend,
MRS. M. D
should wear low-heeled shoes
for school hours and general
wear. A pair of dress shoes,
and if you cannot afford several
kinds of slippers, get black pat
ent leather pumps for evening.
Black satin slippers always are
appropriate with most any kind
of evening frock. You should
weigh about a hundred and five
or ten pounds. Drink plenty of
milk and get lots of sleep. It
is unnecessary to show your
brothers and sisters your letters.
They haven’t any right to read
your mail. Never put anything
in a letter when writing to any
one you would be ashamed to
have anyone to read, for one
never can tell whose hands a
letter might fall into.
I am coming to you for advice. 1
am a lonely girl of nineteen sum
mers, have black hair, black eyes,
fair complexion'and weigh about 121
pounds. I have been going with a
boy twenty years old for four
years. He says he loves me bet
ter than any other girl in the world.
He always treats me with respect.
•My people don’t want him to go
with me. His brother married my
sister and I suppose that is the rea
son why they don’t like it. I don’t
know any other reason because he
is a real nice young man. I go to
the high school, but I have gone
only one term. Do you think I can
ever finish the high school course?
What do you think Os my hand
writing? Pleaße advise me what to
do. Should I continue to let the
young man go with me or turn him
off because my people don’t like
him? He really loves me I believe.
There is another boy who writes me
often but I don't care for him. Can
you tell me where I can get a good
job? Thank you for advice. Hope
to see this in print. BLACK EYES.
Perhaps your parents a
good reason for not wanting
you to marry your sister’s hus
band’s brother. But if the son
in-law “made good” I see no
reason why you cannot be happy
with his brother, if he loves
you and you love him, and if
he will take care of you, pro
vide for you and is honest and
upright. Marriage has many du
ties besides love. It is toler
ance and respect, and, duty first
you will both have to consider
each other’s wishes.
I do not know just what job
would suit you.
I am a girl of nineteen summers,
coming to you for a bit of advice. 1
am not like most girls—lonely—for
I have anything I wish for my pleas
ure. But I am just in trouble about
my love affairs* I was engaged to
a boy three years, and then we broke
up. I grew to love him better than
anyone else. But my father, mother
and friends all said he was not the
boy for me. As he has a rambling
disposition, and wanted me to go
with him to a distant state to live
which my people would not agree
for me to do. So I gave him up,,
though I don’t believe I can ever
love anyone else as I loved him. Do
you think I can overcome this and
learn to love another? Have a large
circle of nice boy friends that seem
to enjoy my company. I try to hide
my troubles from them all. Any ad
vice you may give will be highly ap
preciated. Please print this in The
Journal and do not put my name to
it.
“MERRY SUNSHINE.”
T agree with your parents in
regard to the young man of the
roving disposition. So many
women have regretted marrying
a man of that type. You would
never feel settled and secure. I
know whereof I speojk. And it
is wiser for you to give him up.
It will seem hard at first, but
"time” heals all wounds and if
you will let your “good sense”
control your emotion you will be
better off in the future. If you
were to go away with the one
you love, I am afraid you will
find only unhappiness in the end.
Dear Miss Meredith: I am com
ing to you for a little advice, not
about boys, for I only care for them
as friends. What would be the best
color to dye a cream satin partj' dress
and please tell me a good dye I could
use.
What is best for traveling and are
they using dusters or loose dresses
on long trips?
Please give me a good remedy for
nervousness.
Thanking you for your advice.
“BERT.”
Satin will dye very well. Any
shade you think most becomin.”
Green is being used a great deal
this season, or Robin’s egg blue.
That is a pretty shade for either
brunette or blonde.
Often nervousness comes from
indigestion. Unless you digest
your food properly you will have
it. Plenty of sleep, and if pos- •
sible sponge several times a day
the body in ice-cold water. Get
plenty of fresh air. Drugs do
more harm than good. If you are
run down you had better see a
physician.
SABBATH SCHOOL
LESSON
For August I—fid Sam. 6
BT DR. MARION M H. KVLIi
Golden Text: Enter into his gates
with thanksgiving, and into his
courts with praise. Fsa.
David’s first efforts after being
anointed king over all Israel were
directed toward the cementing of
the tribes into one nation. Abner
had done his work well for there
were 325,000 men that could keep
rank, who came out of all the tribes
of Israel to anoint David king at
Hebron. Among them were many
mighties—the three over thirty, the
one who did many mighty deeds, the
one who single-handed killed 300,
those of Benjamin who could shoot
an arrow or cast a speei’ equally
well with either right or left hand,
and many others. (If you like hero
stories, read these carefully.)
The Philistines resented David’s
growing power, and laid siege to his
City twice; but he utterly defeated
them and made a bonfire of their
idols. Finally his kingdom became
so powerful that it was recognized
by the surrounding nations, hiiram,
king of far-away Tyre, sent great
timbers for the purpose of erecting
a house for him, and sent men to
work with them.
Yet in spite of David’s wonderful
. successes there was a craving in his
heart for something more. He real
ized that all of his successes were
because Jehovah was with him. He
knew the value of having one, all
powerful, all-wise, all-loving, who
would work for him. He wanted all
Israel to share that blessing.
appreciated that no kingdom would
remain secure without religion as
its center.
For over twenty years the Ark
of the Covenant had been in the house
of Abinadab in Kirjath-jearim, just
about ten miles from Jerusalem. He
had the Urim and the Thenmin with
him. Why not bring the Ark to
Jerusalem, too, and make Jerusa
lem the religious, as well as the po
litical center of his kingdom?
The ark was the most sacred thing in
Israel. It had been built by Bezaleel
1,500 years before this, at the di
rection of Moses, and, according to
the pattern God had showed him in
the mount. It was a box of shittim
wood covered within and without
with gold. The Talmund says Beza
leel made three boxes, the outer and
the inner ones of gold, and fitting
perfectly. At any rate this three
in-one was very significant of the
trinity, for it was meant to be a
symbol of God’s presence and a sign
of His covenant with His people.
It had been at the center of the
camp when It had rested and in
the center of the line of march when
they moved. It was when the feet
of the priests bearing it touched the
water that the Jordan banked up
like a wall and let the children of
Israel march across dry shod. It
was borne around Jerieho seven
times before the walls fell. Joshua
had wept beside it at Ai. It had
been at Shiloh until Eli had let the
elders of Israel take it out as a
talisman. When it was captured it
was then victorious even, for the
idol Dagon fell down on its face be
fore the ark, and the men of Gath
and Ekron begged that it be taken
out of their territory. It had been
sent by the Philistines on a new cart
to Bethshemesh, and because tn o
men here had more curiosity than
reverence, 30,000 of them were slain.
By their request it had been car
ried to Kerjith-jearim, where it had
remained ever since.
David thought of it again. Would
it not be great to have , thls . ®^ rab T 01
of God’s presence in His city. In
it were the tablets of the law, Aa "
ron’s rod that budded, and a pot of
manna. David might have taken a
few men and brought it to the city
of Jerusalem; but he was wiser than
that He wanted every man to want
it. So he consulted with every cap
tain and every leader of the P e pPl o
until they became so enthused over
the idea that 30,000 of them accom
panied him to Kerjoth-Jearim to
bring the Holy Ark, the Ark of the
Testimony, the Ark of the. Covenant
of Israel, the Ark of the Covenant
of Jehovah of hosts that dwelleth
between the Cheribim, to Jerusalem.
The revival of religion had begun.
A Good Thing Bone In a Bad Way
In transferring it they adopted it
the Philistine way. A new cart was
made and the Ark placed upon it.
This was entirely contrary to the
command of Jehovah, for He had in
structed them that the Ark should
be carried on the shoulders of the
Kohathites, the descendants of the
Levi. Why they should have adopt
ed this heathen way in the face of
God’s explicit instructions is hard
to imagine. They placed Uzza and
Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, to walk
along beside It. They had grown up
since it had been in their father's
house, and the Ark had become a
familiar object to them. Familiarity
had bred contempt (in the sense of
lack of appreciation of its real sig
nificance).
With great pomp the procession
started, and all went well until the
oxen drawing the cart stumbled on
one of the rough by-paths of that
mountainous region. Uzza put out
his head and steadied the Ark and
dropped dead! It looked like a se
vere punishment but God fiad had
staves made to go through the rings
at the four corners with which this
Holy Ark was to be handled and
these only by the Kohathites. No
one was to touch it, for it was the
symbol of His presence. A flag is
just a cheap piece of cotton, but it
cannot be used as the cloth to pol
ish your shoes, for it represents oui;
epuntry and must not ’be lightly
treated. Men have been shot for
tramping it under foot. The Ark was
a gold chest, but it was much more
■ —it stood for God’s presence, and
could not be handled in any but
God’s way without dire consequences.
David was displeased and afraid.
He didn’t want his parade so abrupt
ly ended, and yet he was afraid to
move another step; so he put the
Ark in the house of Obed-edom! It
was to be noted that while David
was not afraid. He was a Levite,
it is true, and was afterwards ap
pointed by David as one of the door
keepers of the Ark. I't stayed there
three months, anj[ ever-; day Obed
edom was glad that he h*>3 found a
place for it. ‘‘God paid O-'ed-edom
well for his lodging,” for all of the
family was blessed. Every family
will be blessed that has God’s pres
ence, for “in His presence there is
fullness of joy and at His right
hand there are pleasures forever
more.’’ Every life will be blessed
that makes real the Word of God in
it; for the Bible reveals the Living
Word to us who is the Antitype of
the Ark and makes real the Presence
of God in our lives today. “Godliness
is profitable for the life that now is.
as well as for that which is to come.”
The Bight Way
David heard about it and saw no
reason why he should not have the
blessing of God’s presence in his
city. He had learned his mistake,
and was big enough to confess it.
He called together the Levites and
had them sanctify themselves, and
with a great company of people he
Went to the house of Obed-edom to
finish his undertaking.
So the procession started, walked
six paces and stopped. Why six
paces? Why not two or four or five
or three? Six is the number of
man. When David walked six paces
and stopped he made a man’s es- !
fort to bring the Ark of God; before
he could do any more he must have !
done with himself and all human i
efforts and accomplish the work
only in God’s way. You will re
member that we learned last week
that one of David’s lessons was to
“lean not upon thine own under
standing.” Occasionally he forgot
it. as you and I do; and always
with disastrous results. His first
attempt here was one of them. But
now after six paces after exhaust
ing hujjjon efforts, Me stops, and of
fers a sacrifice to God of seven bul
locks and seven fallings—a sin of
fering and a thank offering; asking
forgiveness for his sin of doing
things without God, and thanking
Him for the chance to do it now in
His way and by His strength. He
sang the thirtieth Psalm here (used
the revised version) —"His anger is ‘
but for a moment; His favor is for ;
a lifetime, etc.”
Then the procession resumed its ;
march, David leading it. r.r.d ds.nc- i
ing with all his might. He had talc- i
cn off his royal robes and was clad i
in the dress of a priest. He leaped I

and he shouted, he played on his.
harp, he sang, he made the most
graceful circles as he skipped around
and around—he was beside himself
w’ith jey. And David was no mere
boy now, he was more than forty
yea r s.old. His joy was contagious;
others followed his example and
ten milts this remarkable perform
mance continued.
As they reached the gates of the
city, they sang the words of Psalm
24, the resppnse coming from those
inside the walls. Michal, Saul’s
daughter, and David's first wife, saw
him from her window as he danced
roui.d and round the ark. (By the
•way, this kind of round ' dancing is
all right.) She was carnally mind
ed; she didn’t see anything in the
ark but a golden box; it had no’
spiritual meaning to her at all. As
she saw how undignified her rOyal
husband’s behavior w.as, to her ma
terial mind, she dispised him in her
heart She had loved the warrior
David and risked' her, life
she disfflsed the W’orshipper David,
for she could not appreciate his feel
ings. It is funny but some folks
think that it is all Tight to yell at ■
a football game or a political meet
ing, and to laugh and have a jolly
time at a social gathering, but think
that one is crazy if they show any
signs of joy gt anything religious!
There’s a reason.
Finally the ark was placed tn the
tent that had been erected for it,
and David offered peace offerings
and burnt offerings, thanking GoJ
for the successful issue of their ei--
forts, and pledging to Him their
whole-hearted service and devotiop.
They, sang a, psalm composed by him
for this occasion and recorded it in
I Chron. 16. Probably a part of
Psalm 132 was sung then. .. •
Then David gave a great feast in
which he put the women on the
same footing as the men—an un
heard of thing until then —each of
the people receiving a cake of bread,
a good piece of meat, and a flagon 1 -
of wine. And when the shouting
and the rejoicing was all over, David
blessed the people and sent them
to their homes rejoicing, while he
went to his—people and sent them
to their homes rejoicing, while fie
went to his —where he got a bucket,
of ice water thrown on him by
Michal. Sneering at him she said;
You certainly did make a fool of
yourself today before all the women!
Poor Michal though David. But he 1 '
just said, Well, I am willing to make
a fool of myself like that every day,
and a bigger one even, if I can hon
or my God who has chosen me and;
exalted me.
The curse upon Michal was that'
she was childless. Every Hebrew
woman wanted to be the mother of
the .Messiah. This possibility was--
denied Michal even because she fail
ed to see in the ark the symbol of,
which the Messiah was the Reality,
