WITH SLING AND PEBBLE.

Having Invested himself OF these I'M
couth equipments that Saul had placed
upon him, do we fnd David rushing
recklessiy, without any preparation,
against the arms of this mighty warrior,
to throw away the life the Lord had
given him? By no means. While his
reliance was on the Lord OF Israel, he
made the best possible preparation for
him, for successful conflict: thus teach
ing the lesson that while the "battle 10
the Lords" the Lord works through
human iustrumentalities. "And he tool
his staff in his hand, and chose him five
smooth stones out Of the brook, and put
them in II shepherds bag which he had.
oven in a scrip; and his sling was In his
hand: and he drew near to the Phillis.
tine" Taking the precaution, however,
motto come near enough to be in reach
OF the huge spear and sword Of the de-
FAINT giant, In point OF equipment he
WIS thus really at great advantage over
his adversary; for the sling and pebble
in the bands OF the practtced shepherd
boy was farther reaching han the sword
and'spear OF Goliath. Just so the plain
statement OF the truth, simply formu-
lated, can stand at safe d stance from the
swords and spears OF error, and carried
by the unerring spirit OF God, can reach
at long range and penetrate the armor Of
the giant sin.
The state republican. (Jefferson City, Mo.) 1871-1896, 1895-12-05

We can well imagine the stir and ex-
element in both armies, as this unex-
pected, aud unequally matched Iced was
about to proceed in full view Of the
opposing hosts on either side the valley.
As the mighty giant, armed as we have
seen, and preceded by his shield bearer,
drew near enough to discover she insig-
n~iiolnt form and equipments OF his
adversary, he was filed with wrath and
disgust, saying: "Am / a dog that thou
contest 10 me with stone? And he cursed
David by his gods and said, Come to me
and | will give thy flesh unto the fowls Of
the air, and to the beasts of the ield.''
In striking contrast with this braggdocia
and buster, was David's calm and cour-
ageous reply: "Thou contest to me with
a sword and with a spear and with q
shield; but | come to thee in the name OF
the Lord OF hosts, the God OF the armies
Of Israel, whom thou hast detied," etc,
concluding his speech with the state
ment, "And all this assembly shall know
that the Lord sayeth not with the sword
and the spear: for the battle is the
Lords, and he will give you into my
hands"

and inquired the price.

the shopman.
sBegorra, that's cheap enough"
said Pat. ''I'M take it,"
When the parcel was tied up, be
put 1t under his arm, and laying eight
ehii ings on the counter, was going

~ intercepted him, and demanded
another eight shillings.

THE MODERN IDEAL KITCHEN,

From the Ladies' Home journal.
Mr.. Thompson Gays that in the
model kitchen of the present, the
wall should be of glazed tiles or
enameled brick to the height of six
or eve feet. In place of these,
painted brick or plaster may be used.
The tiles or brick should be carried
clear to the floor, no wooden base
board must be used. The floor
should be of tiles, plain mosaic, stone
or cement, all hard and dirt. resisting
and easily kept clean. Have as lit
tie woodwork as possible, and what
you are obliged to have let it be
plain, with as few joints and crew.

PRACTICAL LESSONS.

1. Have we not in the story OF David
n Goliath, n parable OF the fight be-
tween the spiritual and material; truth
and error; holiness and sin; right and
wrong?
2. David clad in Saul's armor is a true
caricature OF the apist. Be yourself.
Use sling and pebble, II these be the
weapons familiar to you.
3. David mad faith in the Lord; but he
had also faith in his staff and sling.
4. 1t is a dangerous thing for the
Christian to attempt to fight with the
worlds weapons. The weapons OF our
warfare are spiritual, not carnal.
5. Sin is self destructive. Goliath per-
ished by his own sword in the hands OF
David.
6. Often the best defence is attack.
David hasted and ran to meet the
Phtlistine.
Z. Pride must have a fall. There il a
ira it on that when Goliath came neal
enough to see the diminutive stature OF
David and the staff in mis- hand, he threw
II s head back and laughed in derision.
At This iata! moment the helmet I'M
covered his forehead and the unerring
aim Of David sent the stone to his brain.
5. Erute force does not rule in this
world. Victory comes through the use
OF our best means, in reliance on God, In
the path OF duty.
"For the God Of David still
Guide the pebble at his WILL"
0, But perhaps the chief lesson for ouI
study to-day, as suggested by the story,
is: "Mo-ern giants and how to over.

ALWAYS.


by DANIEL o'coNNEIL,
n sweethearts were sweethearts always,
whether as maid or wife,
No drop would be half as pleasant
In the mingled draught of life.
But the sweetheart has smiles and bushes
when the wife has frowns and signs,
And the wife's have a wrathful glitter
For the glow Of the sweetheart's eyes.
II lovers were lovers always,
The same to sweetheart and wife,
who would change for a future Of Eden
The Joys OF this checkered lifeY
But husbands grow grave and silent,
And care on the anxious brow
Oft repIacoS the sunshine that persisted
With the words OF the marriage vow.
Happy is he whose sweetheart
Ia wife and sweetheart still.
Whose voice, as of Old, can charm him;
Whose kiss. as OF old, can thrill:
who has plucked the rose to find ever
Its beauty and fragrance increase,

who sees In the step a lightncss.
who finds In the form a grace;
who reads an unultersd brightness

Is he crowned with such a lifel
who drinks the wife p!etgug the sweet

And toasts in the sweetheart the wlfel

THE RESULT.

We need not give the further details.
This word battle soon ended in the hand
to hand conflict, resulting in the death
and decapitation OF the giant at the hand
OF the "ruddy youth OF a fair counten-
aucs."
The effect of this was the uttermost
and almost entire destruction Of the
Phillistine army. And David took ths
head OF the Phillistine and brought it tc
Jerusalem, but he put his armor in hii
tent.n
