and do now, that gray or white horses
were the handsomest, toughest breed
on the planet.

boxes and beds along the swampy
track for half a mile.

THE STORY.

A FTER the ocean tempest come the
IA subdued winds and the subsiding
waves; the heavens stretch blue and
beautiful from horizon to horizan, and
the golden sunshine fills all the balmy
air. But along the rock-bound shore
the wreckage lies In mad confusion a
sad reminder Of the storm of the night
before. There in mute protest to
Natures friendly mood are the torn
and shattered timbers of the noble
ship which has gone down into the mer-
ciless nav of the mighty waters.
There strewn along the beach is the
water-soaked cargo, and from beneath
the confusion of piled wreckage ap-
pears the hand, the foot, the battered
mead of some hapless victim. Nature so
peaceful and reassuring, and yet bring
Ing but poor comfort to the heart
which contemplates the ruin before
It.
So was It In Israel. The storm of
battle has passed; the clash of arms
Is stilled, the thunder Of rushing war
chariots and the mad cries OF multi
tudes Of men joined in death strug.
gle have died away. and those who
have not fallen in battle have scatter
ed to their homes while the victorious
army of the Philistlnes laden with
plunder has returned home again.
The sky is blue as before, the sun
CHEEKY and warm, the breezes laden
with perfume from the Towering fields,
and the birds, unconscious Of the trag-
edy of war-of the King and hin
sons slain, and of the mourning In
many a home In Israel whittier the
father, and the son, the sweetheart
and brother would never more return
pouring out their little souls in glad
melody, but in the hearts Of the peo-
pie note Of deep anguish and anxious
forebodipg. Oh, the agony Of those
days, weeping for the lost and fearing
for the living. With blanched cheeks
and trembling lips the people talked
together OF the tragic end Of King
Saul and his sons, Of the mutilation Of
their bodies. Of their hanging from

Brave All Dangers.
The experiences of the Revs. Bear
and Turner in the Philippines would
alone fill volume of varied adven-
ture. Night and day on one tour they
travelled through almost impossible
swamps in clumsy OK carts, and bare
ly escaped drowning more than once
while descending swift rapids on a
rudely built raft.
In South America, from the Equator
to Cape Horn, the Bible carriers are
on the march, and the political revo-
lutions, wars, storms, poisonous rep
tiles, and thousand other obstacles
only increase their enthusiasm. The
Bible is carried into the camel-hair
tents of the wandering Bedouin Arabs
of Syria, and If these men are not able
to read classical Arabic then they
have Bibles in their own dialect for
which they pay-coined money being
unknown to them-in butter. eggs,
milk, horns, and brass ornaments.
Steamship and train are but the
first step in transportation. Then
como little sailing vessels among the
coral islands of the Pacific; canoes
and hsuseboats for Indo-China and the
west coast of Africa; bullocks and OK
carts in South Africa; dogs and
sledges with fur-clothed drivers above

necked supercilious camels; smartly
stepping llamas for rough mountain
passes; pack horses, hard-headed ne
gro porters, and hundred other
methods of transport, according to the
region.
The work OF a colporteur Is one Of
terrible risk to life and limb. His BIZ

Y Q gin. 1t takes tremen-
"a dously successful novel to
sell 10000 or $4,000 copies
in a year, whereas this record
is easily beaten by the Bible in
a single day the world over! Last
year 100000 copies, translated in
TO a vast babel of nearly 500 tongues,
were scattered broadcast over the
earth.
The American and British Bible So
cieties led the way with nearly 9,000,-

At last he was able to put the Lords

Gilbert tongue. Later on came the Cos
pels, and so ON. But the first edition
of such Bible Is necessarily full Of
errors. More than $4,000 was recent
ly spent in correcting the Lifu Bible
for the Loyalty islands, and 1t was
found necessary to make the enor-
nous number of 52,310 corrections.

David's success brought with
II no bitterness Of regret over
the means by which that sue.
cess had been won.
Had David purchased success
at the compromise Of principle,
or the commission Of crime, II
would have cast a cloud upon
his life which would have over
shadowed him to the very grave
itself.
Take success In the world to-
day which 10 achieved by ques-
tlonable means, how certainly
do the mIsdeeds uncover them
selves at last, and relentIessIy
and persistently follow the per-
petrator.
Success won by any but fair
means brings unrest Of soul,
and merits the contempt and
scorn Of the world.
What shall II profit man
II he gain the whole world at
the sacrifice Of honor, or obedi.
snce to Gods law, or service to
his brother man?
Faith that can wait brings
success which will endure. The
road Of present expediency does
not lead to the land Of perfect
realization.
II was a long time from the
amounting at Bethlehem until the
crowning at Hebron. But the
God who promises at Bethle-
hem is the God who can keep
through the vicissitudes Of the
years and can fulfill to the min
utest detail his spoken word.
The man who ls willing to
take only the success which
God gives 10 the man into whose
hands God commits his most I'M
portant trusts.
David's chief adviser was the
Heavenly Friend whose wisdom
is above mans wisdom, and
whose faithfulness never slack
ems.
How often In the chapters be-
fore us we find the statement
that David inquired Of the Lord
az to the course he should pur-
sue. Even this man Of affairs
with the discipline Of the years
upon him dare not trust to his
own wisdom. He must seek
the Divine guidance, by which
alone he could walk In the
straight path which would dellv-
er him from the snares Of the
enemy and establish him In the
kingdom which so long before
had been promised to him.
In all Of his tribuIations and
adversitIes David was the cheer
full optimist whose vision was
from above even while his feet
walked the uncertain pathways
Of the world.
We may not all be called to
Kingdoms, but we may all have
tho privilege Of the Divine
guidance and the consciousness
that Gods presence is with us,
be the place we fill ever so
