The old adage, 'It takes two to make
a quarrel" is invariably true, and while
silence is an aggravating response to
an irritating remark, it's effect is in
evitable. The temptation to repudiate
an unjust accusation is strong. but il
it is unjust it will be regretted more

both parties lost their temper.

Sunday Study
SAUL REJECTED AS KING.

The International Sunday school les
son for July 26 is found in l. Samuel.
XIV, 1923. The golden text is the
twenty-third verse. When Saul was
made king he promised to obey the
commands of jehovah This he did not
do and was twice rejected. One should
study the whole lesson history, begin
ming with 1. Samuel, xiii. to learn all
the reasons.
The news of the union of the scat
tered clans of Israel under King Saul,
and their victory in Gilead. soon reach
ed their long time oppressors, the Phil
istines They Immediately plan to in
wade the land to reassert their author
ity and again to terrorize the people
into subsection.
Saul recruits the faithful at Gilgal,
where Samuel had instructed him to
wait before striking the first blow for
independence. After waiting a week
for the prophet, the king prepares to
begin the campaign, and as the initial
step. sacrifices burnt offerings. At this
juncture Samuel appears and rebukes
Saul for disobedience. Sauls sin was
not the mere act of assuming priestly
functions. 1t was his self-assertive-
ness in failing to wait for Samuel's ad-
vice as to Gods will in this national
crisis Yet Sauls little army succeeds
in repulsing the PhilistineS, through
than and the strange panic he causes
among the foe.
Some years after this first campaign
with the Philistines, the events of to-
days lesson occurred. Samuel, still
the adviser of the king, brought word
to Saul that ISraePs ancient foe the
Amalekites, must be destroyed. Such
wholesale slaughter could not be justi-
fed in Christian times. The Cambridge
Bible says: "Such commands were an
accommodation to the moral and reli-
gious state of the nation to which they
were given. Revelation is progressive,
and Gods dealings with the chosen
people, while designed to raise and ed
ucate them. were necessarily condition
ed by their moral state at the given
period" DR.. Strong gives another
view: "An eXterminating war was
the benevolent surgery that amputated
the putrid limb. and SO saved the re-
of the after world" Saul oisobeyed
the prophets command in that he
spared Agag, the king, and the best of
the spoil.
Saul met Samuel on his return ard
lays upon the soldiers the blame for
his own disobedience, and untruthfully
claims that all the animals spared were
intended for sacrifice. Now we have
the golden text. ITO obey is better
than sacrifice" Saul showed remorse,
but it was not genuine. He begged the
prophet to spare his pride and save his
prestige with the people. This Samuel
consented to do. but he left his pres
ence, never to return. Deprived of
SamuePs counsel. the weak king grew
steadily worse.

and commissioners are instructed to
enforce the law. and there is a penalty
of $50 for failure on the part of any

OF course. the scornful will at once
ask, What new kind of cleaning and
disinfection is that which occurs but
once year? But, also, of course,
there is mouth closing answer to that
in the counter that it is far better to
wash up once a year than not even
once in any year. 1t would certainly
be of advantage to health and longevi-

DO NOT BE DECEIVED.

A medical writer says that with the
professional crusade against pulme-
nary tuberculosis there have arisen a
number of fraudulent 'tcures" which
should receive the attention of city and
state governments. Medical societies
should institute suits and "elean the
rascals out" wherever it is legally pos
sible to prosecute them, for hardly
any crime is more heinous than to de-
fraud the ignorant poor as these scoun-
drels are doing. There is said to be at
least dozen of these absolute con-
sumption-cure" concerns in New York
city. Every trick of the quack scamp
is skillfully carried out to deceive the
unwary, and as money is easily got by
him it is freely spent to fleece the un-
fortunates. The worst feature of
many of these companies is sl<illful use
of the names of eminent physicians
and scientists in such way that it
becomes difficult to trap the rogues.

the smallest, being twice the size of
Ireland. The population is composed
of mixed people of Spanish, Portu-

remarkable for it's lofty mountains
and noble rivers. The Amazon is the
greatest of rivers, and the Andes
mountains, with peaks of extraordinary
height, extend for $500 miles along the
entire western coast. The continent
