THE STORY.

FROM his earliest recollection Sam.
\ son had been lmbued with the am
bition to become great general like
Jephthah, or Gideon, or Barak. With
his mothers milk as babe he had
drunk In an intense spirit of patriot.
ism. and as he had grown into man.
hood and had listened to the stories
of the mighty men of valor whom God
had raised up to deliver Israel from
her enemies the purpose had grown
within him to some day march at
the head Of a conquering army as
these other men had done.
His mother told him over and again
the story of the angels visit, of his
birth. and Of the promise that he
should be a deliverer unto Israel from
the power of the Philistines. She
had told Of the Nazarite VOW and
had by her faithful ministry inspired
him with the same spirit of loyalty
and devotion which had moved her
own heart and kept her pure and un.
spotted from moral and spiritual de-
cline which was manifest among her
people on every hand. And in all
this early training and discipline, the
father, Manoah, had nobly seconded
the Cody woman.
In such an atmosphere 1t was that
Samson had been reared, and as he
developed into young manhood, and
felt the vigor Of his strong physique,
and the impelling motive of his deep
spiritual life, the irresistible impulse
moved him to go out among his peo-
pie and seek to arouse their patriot.
ism and begin the organization of an
armed force that should drive the
Philistines from among them and
break the yoke of their oppression.
But spiritual conditions were at low
ebb, and people did not seem to feel
the need Of or care for anything diff.
ferent. And while they felt the bur.
den of the Philistine rule, there were
compensating features, such as pro.
lection from other enemies, and GER
tain commercial and social advan.
tages. which appealed to them, and
which rendered the efforts of Samson
practically without effect.

prowess before them revealing his
powerful physique? What II he did

which God had given deliverance to

that everybody in town knows that
he is a hindrance rather than help
to the community. He is not wanted
In public positions, and when Ques-
tions of local interest and Importance
are discussed. his opinion carries far
less weight than the man who con-
tributes his share to the prosperity of
the community by spending his mon
ey where he earns IL.
In addition to losing In large de-
gree the respect Of others and his
own self-respect. the man who does
nothing to build up the town In which
he lives fails to find the contentment
which is necessary to happiness. Hav-
ing done nothing to make the town
better, he is unable to see the many
advantages 1t possesses. and is con.
tinually talking and thinking of its
deficiencies. He does not move out,
however, but stays on year after year,
a discontented parasite. getting all he
can and giving as little as possible in
return. There is an unwritten law Of
nature that makes 1t impossible for
one to really taken an interest in a
place until he has done something for
It, and it Is only when we have done
our share toward building up the town
in which we live that 1t becomes a
real home to us.
Perhaps the local dealers in country
towns do not always have in stock
just the articles you desire, but they
are usually willing to order whatever
their customers want, and under or
dinary circumstances can supply you

SERMON NETTE.

"Teach US what we shall do
unto the child that shall be
born" Samson had the ad.
vantage of God-fearing parents,
and his training began before he
was born. These are two con.
ditions which exert a lifelong
influence upon the character and
destiny Of life. It Is the her.
itase to which every child has
right to lay claim, but oh! how
seldom does It come into its
right.
The coming of the child into
the home Is too often the unWel.
come accident to be followed by
haphazard rearing, with no posi-.
tive religious training.
God has a claim on every life,
and that claim should be recog-
nized by the parents Of the un'
born child, II should inspire
them to the faithful discharge
of the parental obligations, and
it should guide them In planning
the future Of the child.
In the case of Samson his
career was definitely indicated
by Divine revelation before his
birth, privilege not vouchsafed
to many, especially in this day;
but notwithstanding this, there
should be the definite consecra.
tion to the Lord and the seeking
to follow the Divine will in the
training of the child SO that
eventually he shall come to fill
the place best suited to his abil-
tiles and the needs Of the world
in which he lives.
"The child grew and the
Lord blessed him."--Does this
sound like Divine favoritism?
Has God those he picks as par
ticular recipients Of his bless.
ing without consideration of
the individual merit? Perhaps
il would seem so from the su.
perficlaI and imperfect knoWl.
edge Of man, but recognition Of
the perfect love and perfect jus.
tice of God eompels the convic.
tion that God always blesses
where the conditions of life and
heart make It possible.
Some children are allowed to
grow up like weeds Of the mead.
ow, and It Is only by a miracle
Of grace through the saving and
cleansing power Of Jesus Christ
that sometimes such lives are at
last brought into harmony with
Gods will and In the way Of
divine blessing.
The development Of the child
should be Godward, so that II
may receive Gods blessing. The
upward walk always finds the
descending blessing. What Sam.
son stood for In the war Of
Righteousness and truth In Is
raei was the result Of the early
influence Of that Cody home In
which he was reared.

new CANNERY
BEING PROPOSED
FOR WAIMEA DIST

There seems to he every prospect
for an increase in the number of pine
apple canneries on oahu. During the
rush season the Canneries now in 1p-
Grafton are not near equal to the de
mands made upon them by the daily
isceipts of fruit from the western end
of this island. There are many new
pineapple plantations being developed
through the Waniawa and Waimea
districts, and in q short time will be
adding large quantities of fruit to the
aiready heavy shipments for canning
purposes. A movement is on foot at
the present time looking toward the
establishment Of Il new cannery in the
Pupukea district, and If indications
count there will be a first class plant
in operation there before long.

be held in Marysville will be between
Kyle Whitney and Dick Sullivan, who
lave signed articles to fight there on
the 25th of this month. The weight
will be $50 pounds at Z o'clock, and
each has posted $3.50 for weight and
appearance. This will give Sullivan
, big advantage from a weight stand
point, as the colored bruiser can train
as low as 14O, although he will be

Sullivan Is by far the best man he
has been pitted against, and as the
Honolulu champion is a pretty shifty
boxer, he may be able to outpoint
Whitney.

he asked the court to return to him, a
reconciliation followed and action was
withdrawn, leaving the attorney a
lemon for consolation. He promptly
sued for $500 and his claim was allowed.

alarmed to see a man standing in the
bushes that border on the road, pale
as death, trembling fearfully. In the
right hand of the nan was a bunch of
small twigs and leaves and branches
from blackberry bushes. His arm was
vibrating like it was being worked

PROHIBITION IN OKLAHOMA
New Constitution Adopted and Dem

Oklahoma City, Okla.-After the Bit
tereSt and most strenuous campaign In
the history of the territory the election

ular State ticket, the prohibition ques-
ton was also voted upon throughout
the two territories.
Democratic State Chairman ThOmp-
son declares the constitution will be
ratified by 100 900 majority, that State
wide prohibition has been adopted and
Haskell and the Democratic ticket
elected by from 10000 to 40 1000 major
ity. The very few reports received
bear u Mr.. Thompson in his views on
State wide prohibition and the consti-

The Oklahoma majority for prohibi-
ton is expected to be so great that if
Indian Territory, whose vote is difficult
to predict on this question, should, by
any chance, flop to the vets, Oklahoma
would carry the entire State dry.

FIND A RICH VEIN OF GOLD.
Indians Make Discovery and Kiondike
Fever Breaks Out Again.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE Klon-
dixie gold fever has broken out anew
at Sitka, Alaska, according to Brig.
Gen. George F. Elliott, commandant
of the United States marine corps,
who has just returned from a trip of
inspection in the northwest. General
Elliott says a rich vein of quartz has
recently been uncovered on an island
45 miles from Sitka which yields a
heavy percentage of leaf gold. The
story of the discovery, as told to Gen.
Elliott, is that two Indians while fish
ing noticed particles of gold. They
told the Jews to a Presbyterian cler-
gyman at Sitka. A company opened
the vein and succeeded in mining and
transporting to Sitka in canoe 80
tons of ore. This one shipment yield
ed after paymer of freight more than
$16,0 00. The knowledge of the find
soon spread and the island now is
practically all staked out by gold
seekers.
