Away on the Limited Train
These lines are not original with me. They
are taken from tunetul little ditty sung
in George AIDES comedy Peggy from Paris "
The jingle danced through my brain the
other day we lay on the siding al Prairie
junction, or some such place, to let the
Santa Fes west bound California Limited
go by. 1t was a gorgeous train OF palace
cars, and behind the plate glass observation
windows beauty and fashion and youth and
old age were loling among the luXurlant
cushions, some visiting, some reading, some
pleasantly doZing, some making wreaths Of
cigar smoke, some gazing dreamIly through
the windows at the passing cities, and
fields, and forests and rivers.

ear of our train and watched the California
Limited as she faded away toward the gold

between travel now and travel in the days
of 40, when it took the gold-seeker half a
long, weary year, filled with all kinds Of
hardships, to travel the distance that is now
covCsed in three days. | thought OF the
slowly moving wagons the dust, the stones,
the joting, the thirst, the hunger, the
homesckness. the Gna-like crossing of
plains, the laborious climbing of mountains,
the weary dragging seeks, the never ending
trail.
In these palaces that had just gllded by
were people going to the same place to
spend the winter months where the climate
is perpetual summer. And they were not

their seats were to De made deeper still by
pillows-and thy were to spend delightful
part of their time in the gilded and glttering

God King Over All.-Though. in
a certain sense, Israel had rejected
the Lord as their king, when thew
had asked Saul to rule over them, vet
the prophet now assures them that
God IS supreme over all. He advises
them that there are still before them
the two alternatives either of hearing
the Lord or of rebelling against his
commandment. Upon their choice
of these two alternatives, the proph-
ct reminds them, depends their fu-
ture welfare and prosperity. The
king himself was included in the ma
ton, as respects the choice between
these alternatives, and it is evident
as we study the later history of the
people of Israel that the king had a
large influence in determining the
course of the nation as to whether
they should obey the Lord or not.
A Miracle and It's Results.-In or
der that his words might have great
er weight with his hearers, Samuel
now performed a miracle to impress
the power of the Lord upon their
minds and hearts. It was the time
of wheat harvest, when, in ordinary
seasons, we are told, rain never falls,
and the sky is usually serene. To
prove the divine attestation of his
message, Samuel now called upon the
Lord to send thunder and rain, which
was promptly done, with the result
that the people prayed for mercy.
An Earnest Internationally the
appeal of the startled people Samuel
now made a reassuring reply, accom-
panied by a fervid exhortation that
they should serve the Lord with all
their heart. He promised them the
presence of the Lord if they would
not tHRp aside from following after
Him, and pledged to them his pray
ers in their behalf, and his aid in in
s~tructing them in the right way. He
appeals to their sense of gratitude
for the past favors they had received
from the Lord and also to their
sense of fear in view of the awful
doom they would incur in doing
wickedly.
A Noble Valedictory.-This fare
we'll address of Samuel is a noble
speech, revealing the inner springs
of the life of a man used of God
from earliest childhood to the end
of a long and honored career. It is
an argument for piety, an appeal for
righteousness and an exhortation to
faithfuIness which should stimulate
us all to nobler living.

NOTES ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON FOR JULY 10.
Samuel's Farewell Address.
q Samuel u :13-25.)


Golden Text.-Only fear the Lord,
and serve him in truth with all your
heart. Il Samuel u :24.)
SauIs appointment as king was
followed shortly by a war with the
A~mmonites, in which he inflicted a
sweeping defeat upon these enemies
of Israel.
While the nation was still rejoic-
ing in the flush of victory, the aged
prophet Samuel took the opportunity
to confirm Saul in his kingship, and
at the anne time to release himself
from the responsibilities which had
rested upon his shoulders. for so
many years.
The Gathering at Gilgal.-It was
a notable assembly which convened
at Gllgal in response to the prob
cts call. Sacrifices of peace offer
mgs were made before the Lord; and
Saul and all the people greatly re-
Jolced in the divine favor which had
enabled him to gain the victory over
the A~mmonites. Most striking of
all the features of this gathering
was the address of Samuel.
An Upright Judge.-After a few
Introductory words touching upon
the establishment of the kingship,
and referring to his sons-an allu-
sion which is almost pathetic in the
~obScurlty of its meaning-the proph-
ct reviews his past life among the
people, and challenges them to cite
any instance of unfaithfulness on
MS part during the many years of his
administration of the national af-
fairs.
The Lords Faithfulness.-Turn-
ing now from himself, the venerable
prophet dwells upon the fidelity of
Jehovah to his people. at is the
Lord" he cries, chat advanced Moses
and Aaron, and that brought your
fathers up out of the land of
Egypt" and then he proceeds to
trace the way in which the Lord had
LED the people up to the very time
IN which he was speaking.

San Francisco Sports Think the
Brooklyn Terror Can Knock
Out Young Corbett.
Eddie Graney Has Been Selected to
Referee the Contest To-
morrow Night.

McGovern is a pronounced favorite in
San Francisco for his fight with Young
Corbett tomorrow night. The sports OF
the coast city. according to dispatches re-
ceived this morning, figure that Young
Corbett will not be able to get down to
weight without weakening himself. Yes

pounds over weight although he has been
working to the limit for Two weeks 10
make the figure If he is forced to resort
to such extreme measures as he employed
in his contest with Hanlon, he must
weaken himself in a degree. and this he
cannot afford to do when p1tted against
the Brooklyn scrapper. = ..E =.
1t Is said that Corbett will never again
try to make less than 130 pounds as he
finds that is the best he can do, and, re-
tain his strength.
An old ring follower of San Francisco
thus sizes up the contest: .a.

Terry, but there is every. chance that he
will be able to make a successful demon

"McGovern has pretty much everything
in his favor in the. coming combat. To
begin with, the weight will favor him,
for. to bring Corbett down, to the required
figure will tax him to the utmost Indeed
it is even reported that he wi: never
again attempt such a figure, but 5l1ere-
after will content himself with trying to
do 1870 pounds and no better. = In the
present instance he will be forced to do
127 pounds or forfeit $500, The fight
should be one of the fastest that has been
seen In this country in a long time Nc
Governs only chance will be to tear into
the Denver man at the fastest sort of a
pace and thereby try to break up his
guard and get one of his knock out
snlashes home to the point of the Jaw.
This is exactly what he tried to do in
the fight a year ago Thanksgiving day at
Hartford, but somehow or other Corbett
got to the point of the jaw first and then
there was an awful fall of @MoGovern to

Judging by his last fight, which was with

the Hartford reverse, he is still good
enough to defeat the man from Denver.
Taken at all stages, Corbett is nothing
but lucky accident. He has little Of the
element of the good fighter True, he
has the punch, one of the first things that +
