letter, or to sign some statement.
Once the signature Is secured. ficti-
tious deed to the farmers land is pre-
pared and this Is fixed up in such a
manner as to show the seal Of some
notary or other officer. Then with
this deed the swindler is in position to
negotiate loan upon the land. This
game has been successfully worked in
a number of western states. seq.
Residents Of agricultural districts

THE STORY.

TOAB with feverish haste adjusted
d his garments and started towards
the palace of King David. The few
who were in the market place at that
early hour were startled and surprised
to see the captain of the hosts of Ju-
dab abroad at such time, knowing
that only the most important matters
could take him to the presence of the
king at that unreasonable hour. But
Joab was too much absorbed with his
own thoughts to notice the startled
glances which followed him, for that
morning a secret messenger had
brought to him alarming tidings from
Mahanaim, the royal city of Israel,
where Ishbosheh, the son OF Saul,
reigned. These tidings were to the
effect that the king had been slain
upon his bed.
And now is David's opportunity,
muttered Joab to himself as he hur-
ried on. Now will he be able to
bring Israel under his hand Will he
but give his consent, l will start
with the army this very day"
And arriving at that moment at the
palace door, he knocked impatiently,
loath to let one precious minute be
wasted. Urging the surprised servant
to hasten he entered the audience
room OF the king, and not long after
David the king entered.
What brings you here at such un.
seemly .hour?" he exclaimed anx.
iously.
What but the kings good?" re.
sponded Joab, reassuringly. 81 seek
the bidding of thy king to go and bring
Israel under thy banner"

Mrs. Pringle was second wife.
The gentle mother of these children
lay sleeping in her grave. She had
died when Rosie was born, and the
grandmother had brought the babe
through the perils of infancy in add
ton to her other cares. Martin Prin-
gle had married again, after a decent
interval, much more snowy and styl-
ish woman than his first wife had
been. In strict justice to her, it must
be confessed that she was a tolerably
kind mother to the children; but the

sERMoNETTE.

II was David's integrity rath-
err than his military prowess
which conquered Israel.
David knew how to forgive.
Israel had shared with King
Saul in the persecution Of Da-
vid, but David was ready to re-
turn good for evil. He had no
scores to settle when the prov
licences Of God brought his for.
mer enemies under his power.
Selfish ambition David had
not. On the contrary, his career
strikinely illustrates the posi-
bility of human soul gaueine
his ambitions in harmony with
the will Of God. He wanted
only what God in his own time
and his own way was willing to
give. Hence he escaped the pit
falls Of human plotting and in
trigue and his hands were free
from the stains Of the blood of
his enemies.
David desired the kingdom be-
cause God had promised it to
him and because his ambition
was to serve God through such
exalted office. He wanted to be
king that he might lead the ma
ton in the paths Of righteous
ness.
There is no loftier or holier
ambition in the world to-day
than the desire for power and
position that such may be ex-
ercised and used to the honor
i and glory of God and the bless
ing of mankind.
Schisims in families or in ma.
tions are sad and distressing,
and the sooner they are healed
the better. But reunion must
meet the voluntary approval of
both factions. David might
have subdued Israel by force
of arms, but he chose rather

truth and justice.
God can give what human
scheming and plotting cannot
gain.
The question arises: "WouId
David have been justified in the
use of force in gaining posses
sion of that which God had
promised should be hls?" Is the
injunction: "Suffer wrong rath.
err than do a Wrong" a safe
principle to follow in our deal
ings with others.
David in the Twenty-third
Psalm, declares that after the
walk through the valley of the
shadow of death the Lord pre-
pared for him a table in the
presence of his enemies. Such
proved literally true in his ex-
perience. God laid the united
Kingdom at his feet after all
the pIottings of his enemies
had failed. II is surely true
that they that wait upon the
Lord shall not be ashamed.
