which our New England ancestors
who went down to the sea in ships
were wont to shudder, and with good
reason, is now closed by sand bar,

sairs would not dare to cross In their

the bad country is still a pirate,
though the times have driven him in
land from the seas. Until recently he
preyed upon the passing caravans as
a century ago he swooped down with
his hawklike galleys upon our be-
calmed sailing ships. The Kabyle
horsemen who rush with so much fury
and reckless daring up to the French
batteries and rifle pits, do it not only
because they have a hatred OF the
Christian which their church sancti-

starving to death and want to get at

the most profitable.

most prominent man in this part of

Uzzah's death troubled David
and caused him to fear God with
a superstitious fear. The bless.
ing upon the house Of Obedom
where the ark rested filled his
heart with Cody fear. There
is a vast difference In the two
kinds Of fear. One Is grounded
In suspicion and distrust, the
other In love. The one repeIs,
the other attracts. For perfect
love casteth out fear.
Gods hand Of Judgment fell
! upon uzxah, while his hand OF
blessing rested upon the house
Of Obedom. Why the difference?
Just this: One knew God, the
other did not. One was sensitive
to the Divine presence; the
other was not. One had due
reverence for holy things; the
other was Of that profane nature
that dares violate the sanctlty
Of holy things and disobey the

David did not let any false

up the ark he laid aside his
I royal robes, his crown and scep-
ter, and attired In the garment
which betokened complete con-

fore the Lord. This was az II
should be, for the heart which
would truly worship God must

could prevail among the wor-

Great strides have been made with the

labor is not cheap. Some parts of Texas it is
