CHRISTIAN ENDEKVOR

The Christian Endeavor topic for to-
morrow is Religion Between Sundays" 8"
The scripture lesson is TO be found at
Acts 2:42-47.
Reports are being received by the Dis
trict Chritian Endeavor Union OF the
progress of the extension campaign for
the first SIX months OF the year. So far
twenty-three societies have been heard
from. and they show a net gain OF 4O4
members. Of whom 3l5 are active, rs as
sociate. and IL honorary. This is an
average OF II new members TO each so
ciety, or an increase OF over Is per cent
In view Of the strong obligation of the
Christian Endeavor pledge for active
members. the large proportion of that
class of membership is considered very
gratifying. One or two societies show
slight losses by reason OF revising their
rolls, but these are stated to be really
in better condition than before. The
Christian Endeavor Society of Calvary
Baptist Church reports the largest gain,
having received SO new members.
That Christian Endeavorers do not
suspend religious work when on their
vacations is shown by the fact that Miss
Ruth Richards. president of the Chris
tian Endeavor Society OF the lexington
Presbyterian Church, has assisted in
organizing a society at Clifton Station
Va. where she is spending the summer.
The society is to hold It's first regular
meeting on Sunday. the 26th.
The monthly meeting committee Of the
Christian EndeavOr Society Of the Yer
mont Avenue Christian Church was held
last Tuesday night at the home of the
president. r. A. Balderson.
Considerable interest is already being
shown in the arrangement for Christian
Endeavor day at the Washington~Grov
Chautauqua, Monday, August 3. Picnic
parties for the day are being made I'D
in some OF the societies, the details be-
ing placed in charge of the social COM
mittee or a special committee. The
Endeavorers of the GuTley Memorial
Presbyterian Church have placed Miss
Grace Burger at the head of a commit
tee to provide the luncheon for their
party. The members who are so situ-
ated that they can are expected 20 take
along certain things for the repast, ac-
cording to a plan previously agreed up
on, and those who cannot conveniently
do this are to pay small amounts TO
the committee to be used In buying
fruit and other articles that may be
needed. At the Vermont Avenue Chris

respects Washington's valedictory ad-
dTesses-one to the army of the colonies
which he had led for eight years. and
whom he had served as President for
eight years. The nearest parallel Is
Joshua's farewell address to the nation
at the close OF his life. SamueIs old
age was a bridge between the past and
the future. He played his part nobly
and well. II is the ending of a life
that tests itself. Though himself de-
posed by the election OF king Samuel
yet made the great sacrifice cheerfully
and mHnfully. leading the people in each
step and guiding them with his clear
vision and steady hand. He did not
sulk in his tent as too many men do
in similar experiences. The worlds
greatest heroes are those who have
bridges over It's transitions" Abraham
was such a man. So was Moses, John
the Baptist. Washington. and Abraham
Lincoln.
Samuel laid down the reins OF Office
with clean hands. He had lived an ex-
ceptionally spotless life, even from
sublime when at the coronation OF the
new king he could challenge the people
TO a thorough scrutiny of his public
career, and ask them 20 point out sin
gle incident in which he had robbed any
body. or~defrauded anyone. or mistreat-
ed anyone in any way. The answer was
q unanimous, No" IL Is hard now for

scrutiny. A ruler. great or small. should
live In the open, and take into his con-
fidence the people whom he governs, and
boldly lay bare his every act. The ten
dency Of all governments now is toward
fuller publicity and a more strict ac-
counting. Light Is the best antisep-
tic" The spotless beauty OF Samuel's
life fulfilled the sentiment expressed in
the epitaph on the English General Cor
dons tomb: Major General Gordon,
who at all times and everywhere gave
his strength to the weak. his substance
to the poor his sympathy to the suf-
fering his heart to God" Samuel was
true both to God and the Israelites in
his farewell address, when he pointed
out TO the people the origin. foundation.
and continuation OF their government
and existence as a nation, by reminding
ter receiving the unanimous testimony
OF the people to his own faithfulness
Samuel reminds them OF the faithful
ness Of God. He reviewed their past
wonderful history and showed them how
their deliverance from Egyptian bond
age and their many triumphs over their
oppressors at many times was 1ue to
the goodness and faithfulness OF God.
Lycurgus said: Il make no law punish

Platform of National Prosperity.
The Israelites had decided for a mon
archy for themselves and God had grant
ed their request in the matter, but
Samuel points out to them that the
principles Of their prosperity had not
changed. that God had been the refuge

BURNS WILL CONTEST
BEGUN IN PROBATE COURT

Issues have been framed in the Pro
bate Court in the matter OF the contest
over the estate OF the late Margaret
Burns. She left two Wills, one made in
1900, and the other in July last. BY the
former she left the greater part OF her
property to Catholic charitable institu-
tions. BY the second will she left her
estate to her two sons The last will
was made only few days before Mrs
Burns died, and is contested on the
ground that 1t was executed under stress
OF undue influence. 1t is also contended
that she was Of unsound mind when she
signed the document.

Saul Wins His Spurs.

Saul had been divinely appointed and
humanity acclaimed as king But at first
he assumed no kingly prerogatives. hav-
Ing retired quietly from the great ma
tional assembly at Mizpah, where he
had been proclaimed king. to his simple
home at Gibeah. He was king in name.
but not in fact. Position does not make
a man influential OF great in itself. True
authority and greatness come from
ones own character and deeds. ONCE
and position only give one a chance to
exercise his native gifts and powers.
Each successful man must really win
the crown for himself The true knight
must win his own spurs.
The opportunity for Saul TO establish
his throne In power and in the conf
dence and affections OF the people soon
came. Sudden news was brought j.. to
Saul that the men of the two tribes Of
Israel. who lived on the east side of
Jordan, were sorely besieged in Jabesh-
Gilead by an army led by Nashas, king
OF the Ammonites. and who had de-
manded their surrender and promised
them their lives on condition that each
man would submit TO having one of his
eyes put out. Messengers were dis
patched for help from the other tribes.
Saul acted with great zeal and prompt
ness on this occasion. He exhibited
great military genius. He mustered an
army OF 330. 900 men. struck the Ammon-
ties an overwhelming blow and ami
hilated their army. The result of this
victory put Saul on the crest OF the
top wave Of popularity with his fellow
countrymen. His admirers wished TO
put to death any "sons Of Belial'' who
had been opposed TO him as king. but
he showed great magnanimity of spirit
and refused to punish anyone for this
cause.

gather together at Gilgal. where Joshua
had once established the tribes in
their liberties. This meeting was for
the coronation of Saul and the ratiflca-
tion OF the kingdom. 1t meant the pass

new order in civil government. Here
