Text, LIST SAM, al, "And she named the
child IchAbod, saying, the glory is departed
from Israel"
From the death of Moses until the time
Of Saul and David, a period Of more than
400 years, the Israelites were engaged in
frequent wars against the heather ma
tlons dwelling in the land of promise,
disputing with them the possession of
the land. During this time the chosen
nation was ruled by succession Of
Judges, under God who was their only
king. OF these judges Ell was the next
to the last and was also the high priest.
In his day the warfare was against the
Philistines, one Of their greatest and most
persistent foes. At their hands Israel
suffered overwhelming defeat and slaugh-
ter, and the ark of God was taken, and
the two sons of Eli slain. And when
the aged man heard this crushing news,
his heart was broken and he fell from
his seat and died.
Immediately after, his daughter-in-law
also died, having given birth to son,
"And she named the child Ichabod, say
ing, the glory Iis departed from Israel,
because the ark of God was taken and
because of her father.in-law and her
husband" The word Ichabod means
''where the glory, "'no glory" ''the glory
Is departed" It is a striking phrase, a
very suggestive name, constant re-
hinder of circumstances most unusual.
And there is something at this season
of the year much in keeping with these
words. A few weeks ago the trees were
clad In groenest leaves, gardens were
productive, the grass was everywhere
green and the country might have been
said to be glorious with signs of fertility
and vigorous life. More recently this
greenness of the trees has been changed

MASTER ARTIST.
But now to-day, after coming back
from brief absence and looking thought
fully on the scene one-can not help OBJ
serving the marked contrast. There has
been the one grand final burst of beauty
and brightness and now It is gone. The
trees are stripped of their leaves. The
foliage has faded and fallen. The use of
the tree has been fulfilled. The shade is
no more. Instead of the refreshing
refuge underneath the boughs, the limbs
are now bare, the branches are stripped,
and the grace and symmetry disappear.
with all this outward change there ls
produced In US corresponding senti-
ment OF sadness and gloom and dreari-
meas and death. And almost every one

seeking to detect her in wrong. The
duty of the Christian Endeavor Sunday
school teacher is to help the scholars
form true ideas of religion, and by
rightly managing, boys and girls, can
be taught to love God with a sincerity
and earnestness that older people may
we'll emulate.
THE INFLUENCE
of the Christian Endeavor in the Sunday
school room, should be, without ques-
ton, power for good. The story is
told of Christian Endeavorer who took
up Sunday school work. One day he
found neglected boy and invited him
to Sunday school. The boy shook his
head. The teacher sat down beside the
boy in companionable way and said:
''We have nice lot of books and you
can take new one each week"
"WouIdn't you like to come to Sunday
school for that?" The boy said mo"
"Do you like music?' asked the teacher :;
'we have an organ and good singers, and
the music is fine. Won't you come to
hear the music?" The boy was unmoved.
Every Christmas we have a tree and
every summer a picnic" continued the
teacher, feeling that now the highest in
ducements were being put forward. The
boy said, "Nope," and the teacher was
moving away feeling that this was an in
corrigible case, when the boy stopped
him-"Say, will you be there?' Yes"
was the answer,"I will be your teacher"
"Then," said the boy, 81 will come"
This shows that above everything else is
the personality of the teacher, and that
impressions are being made on the souls
of the scholars as surely as the sun prints
an image on the sensitive Photographic
surface. 1t is the duty of the Christian
Endeavorer to become q Sunday school
teacher, and as such he should
cultivate certain qualifications if he does
not already possess them. One is ANNA
ton. There Is nothing which dispels all
efforts at interest as slow, lifeless teach
er.I
ANOTHER QUALIFICATION Is EARNEST
NESS.
Cheerfulness is another requisite. A
cheer fulness which communicates to 9TH
ers the happy spirit that inspires it.
Sympathy is an important factor of sue
cess. The teacher should enter into the
life of his scholars, place himself in their
surroundings. There should be no re-
serve between them. Their experiences
should take hold upon his sympathy.
The success of the Sunday school de.
depends upon Christian EndeaVor loyal
ty.
The matter of living up to the duties
towards the regular Sunday services de-
ponds upon the individual, who obeys the
dictates of heart and conscience. With

THE COMMON HEN.
A Woman Tells Farmers and Their wives
How to Improve Stock.


At the Minnesota farmers institute
recently Mrs Ida Tilson told farmers
and thor wives how tho common hon
may be improved She said.
"The common hens are Of all the
shapes and colors that fowls ever grow,
and they are usually neglected, abused,
half starved and left to shift for thorn
selves generally; but for all that they
Ngeuerally pay their own way nnd moro,
too--live and thrive and bring up big
family Of healthy chicks under the most
discournging circumstances.
"Tako the same pains with them as
YOU would with stock Of thoroughhrods
and they will respond quickly aud Pcn-
orously. There is sumcthing-a good
doal-in blood md thcro is an immense
deal in care and food. II you have not
the cash with which to buy purc breed
cocks to mate the hens with to begin
with, don't think that you can do moth.
ing to improve the common fowls.
Common fowls can DO greatly i'm.
proved in point of size by always select.
ing the largest and hest to keep over
to breed from, and the laying qualities
can be improved by sitting only eggs
from hens that are known to be the best
layers. On some farms whore this course
has been followed year after year the
fowls have greatly increased in size and
rival the Leghorns and Hamburgs in
egg production.
I'm one case which came under my
observation, in five years from the timo
when the improving process commenced,
the average egg product from the hens
had increased Une-third and tho aver
age weight in the same proportion. In
that time no fresh blood had been in
troduced into the flock. The improve
ment was wholly due to food care and
selection of the best each year. Of
course the Same results could be reached
in two years with thoroughbred roost-
crs, but the woman who had these hens
didn't have the Thoroughbred ROSTERS
nor the money to buy them, yet she
went ahead and did the best she could
with the fowls she had, and her best
was very good indeed II is fact that
the third winter after her work Of i'm
provement commenced her hens laid
more eggs than any other flock in the
noighborhood, and there were some
thoroughbred flooks among her neighbors
'If size be your object, select your
largest common hens and mato them
with a rooster of some of the larger
breeds; il you desire better egg pro-
duction, select the hens you know to DO
the best layers, and for any other spo-
cial purpose select males that possess
the qualities which you desire Chick
ons from these crosses will be half
blood and much superior to common
fowls. Tho next year mate the half
breed pullets to pure cooks and keep tho
best of the pullets from this cross for
breeding stock the third year.
In this way always keep your best
hons and pullots each year, and by
using only thoroughbred cocks you will
in few years have Is flock of fowls
that for all practical purposes will be
just as good as though you had started
out with thoroughhreds.
