H STORY.

THE. news of the defeat of the army
i of Israel in the preliminary Skin,
mish with the Philistines had reached
Shiloh where the Tabernacle or Tenn
pie of the Lord, as it was called.
stood, long before the messengers who
had been sent after the ark arrived. so
that when they came with GREATNESS
haste to the city they were imme-
diately surrounded by an excited
throng who were eager to hear the
latest report. But without making
reply to the flood of questions. save
to say that Israel was preparing to
renew the conflict, they pressed on
toward the temple.
I'VE would see Hophni and Phine-
has," they demanded, impatiently of
the Levites in attendance, and in
their eagerness pressed on within the
entrance to the court which was be-
fore the temple.
Impressed by the evident urgencv of
the case, the Levites turned and quick
~ disappeared within the doors of the
temple, while the throng without the
temple c%ourtway, by that quick intui-
ton so marked in a crowd at times
surmised the errand of the messenger
and began to cry:
The ark of the Lord, The ark Of
the Lord. Let it go forth 20 give vic.
tory to Israel"
The shouting grew louder and loud
er. and reached at last the Mace
where Samuel was engaged in his
morning duties. Startled and puzzled
TO know the meaning of the tumult
he came running forth and entered
the court of the tempt. just as Phine-
has and Hophni accompanied by the
messengers appeared, and just behind
them were TWO of the Levites bear
ing the ark.
The words which the crowd were
shouting and the sight which his
quick glance took in, revealed to Sam
uel the situation.
Commit no such folly!" he shouted.
"Only disaster can come from such
sacrilege."
Art thou the high priest or the son
of the high priest that thou should
dictate to us7" angrily demanded
Hophni.
But consider what thou doest, for
the Lord cannot be with thee in this
thing" implored Samuel, standing his
ground.
Hophni and Phinehas hesitated for
an instant, and her ENCOURAGED by
the continued shouting of the people,

PAT SET ONLY ONE LlMIT.>
Would Quit When He Was Done With
All Things Earthly.

A rich mar out in the suburbs who
owns a large place has among the
many people employed to keep it in
shape an Irishman of whom he is par
ticularly fond on account of his In
conscious wit, says Harper's Weekly.
This Irishman is something of a hard
drinker, and, as his income is limited,
he is more particular as regards the
quantity than the quality of his
liquids. The other day the employer,
who had been awaiting a good oppor-
tunity, remarked in a kind tone, as
the closing sentence of a friendly Ice
ture:
Now, Pat, how long do you think
you can keep On drinking this cheap
whiskey?"
To which Pat instantly replied:
"All my life. if it doesn't kill me-"

Wonderful Engineering Work,

The admirable accuracy of the work
of civil engineers of the best class is
shown in the wonderfully slight devi-
alton of the great Simplon tunnel from
the calculations of the men who
planned it and executed the work.
The tunnel is 12k miles long. 1t
proved 81 inches longer than it was
expected to be. When the two head
ings came together in the depths Of
the mountain their levels were less
than 3h inches apart.

SERMONETTE.

A corrupt priesthood, a low
state of spiritual life in the ma
ton, which encouraged a super
stitious regard for the Outward
signs and symbols of religion,
led the children of Israel into
the sacriIese of bringing the ark
forth from the holy of holes and
using II as a fetish to give
them victory over their enemies.
They had seen the heather ma
tons about carrying their gods
into battle. Why should they
not find in their religion similar
encouragement and help? And
! SO the army of Israel, defeated
in the preliminary skirmish with
the PhiIistines, takes up the cry,
. saying: "Let US fetch the ark of
} the covenant of the Lord out of
: Shiloh unto US, it may save US
out of the hand of u enemies"
This they did, the corrupt and

} consent and going with the ark
: into battle. And what follows
is but the inevitable fruitage OF
this long series of sinful acts.
!. Defeat and destruction for the
} army of Israel, loss of the sacred
i, emblem of Gods presence in
|. their midst. and bitter servitude
} to their victorious foe.
! What lessons may be drawn
: from this dark period, from
. these tragic events. First of all,
/. we must recognize the immi-
} hence of God in all the affairs
! of life. Though he was forgot
ten and dishonored he was
moving in human events to the
v~indication of his name and the
punishment of sin. We here find
I but the fuIfilIment of what God
said would come to pass. Gods
warning had come to the house
s of Eli. but regardless of the mes
sage, the sons of Eli and the ma
!, ton of Israel plunge to their
|. ruin. We may forget God, we
may be living in sin and yet
|. strive to maintain an outward
form of religious observance, un-
. til at last the mere ceremonial
/, becomes the fetish, the charm,
} the taIisman which we think
} will give US help and deliverance
: in the dark hour. In that fatal
|, hour of battle Israel discovered
: that their help did not lie in
} that mere creation of wood and
; gold; that its presence with
them, and the careful observance
!, of their forms of worship did not
{ insure them victory. And SO is
} it ever true. Religion is a thing
! apart from things and outward
. forms and ceremonies. Reii-
eion is a thing of the heart, and
the heart cannot become the
} holy of holes in which God will
|, take up his dwelling place ex-
!, cept as sin is repented of and
} cast out. This is the second
{ thought, then, which we would
; emphasize. That even though
! God is imminent always in the
, welfare of man, he is far, very
far, from the individual heart
J that is given up to its own Iusts
, and desires. And let us not for
: get that while sin is in the
|. heart and the life, the presence
} and favor Of God cannot be won
by zeal in religious forms and
} ceremonies. 1t is the heart which
} repents and turns from sin that
!, can hope for the Divine pres
. ence.

ris, cashier of The Farmers Bank of
Delaware has issued a statement ask
ing the people of Kort and Sussex
counties to form a large stock COM
pany and subscribe S25O.OoO at once for
the equipment of modern electric rail-
ways. Mr. Norris says in part:
The Delaware Railroad Cannot cater
20 the needs of the people of Delaware
They are busy hauling through freight
from the South. 1t would only take
S62,500 TO pay 8 per centum on tha
bond and stock OF an electric line.
Electricity is less expensive than
steam, ana gasoline is cheapest of an.
The gasoline ear is a success. 1t re-
quires no central power house
stock would be $50 a share and
farmers, business and professional men
should all subscribe They cannot af-
ford not to. We all need it i'm our
business. Farms would increase in
value 20 per cent. Freight and pas
senger rates would decrease 20 per
cent Business would increase because
more people would move TO Delaware
II we had good railway communication

vice restriction as we'll as the provi-
sion which withholds militia organi-
zations when called into service for
the United states from going beyond

ties should not be confined merely To
state duties, but their usefulness
should be broadened
