Levites undertook to see to the trans
portation. They had q new cart. Ahio
went before and Uzzah walked at the
side. When the ark came to certain
place. Nachon's threshing floor, it
seemed as if it would fall because of
the roughness of the road and the
shaking of the oxen. Uzzah put
forth his hand to steady it, and was
struck dead for touching the sacred
thing with profane hands. David
was quick to understand that some
thing was wrong, and that God
was displeased. He ordered that the
ark be left where it was, and abandoned
for the time bringing it to Jerusalem
Later. as told in Chrinicles Is he did
bring the ark to Jerusalem. This
time he ordered that the Levites or
the ordained priests care of it. In
the 13 verses he says that the death
of Uzzah and the failure of the first
expedition came because Gods way
was not consulted.
Among many things to be gained
from this lesson are these: 1st.
David did we'll after he had been so
signally favored by God to make a
place for the sacred ark and call the
people to worship as did their fore
fathers. End. Men cannot even with
good intentions disobey the express
commands of God. David forgot
when he cid not ask the priests to go
with him. and Uzzah forgot when he
put his hand on the ark. A visible
showing that Gods command must be
kept was needed for the people and it
came through Uzzah's death. 3rd.
The people living in the house with
the ark were blessed. because God s
presence was especially there. so His
presence in the hearts of men, or In
a christian home will give blessed
satisfaction. 4th. There is line
beyond which men cannot go in dis
regard of bible commands. and it is
we'll to beware of transgressing thai

Jerusalem. 2 Sam. 6: 1-l2.
The lesson of this date allows a
wide range of history. az to the
making of the ark, the commands of
God as to its keeping, what it con-
tanned. and the place assigned it in
the tabernacle. and then in the temple
after it was built. Suffice it here
to say that it was a box or chest
which could be carried by means of
rings and pule, Inade of precious
wood. and it contained the tables on
which the commandments were
written. the rod of Aaron. which
budded. pot of the mama which
the Children of Israel fed upon in
the wilderness. and some other sacred
things. 1t had place in the most
holy place. and Gods special presence
was with it, no matter where it
might be.
1t will be remembered that one of
the incidents of the death of Eli the
high priest was the ark falling into
the hands of the Phillistines. The
Israelities took it out in the battle
field expecting that it would give
them victory, but they had sinned and
as punishment the ark was captured
from them. In Sam. it is told
how when Eli heard the ark had been
taken he fell over and broke his
neck. The Phillistines were rejoiced at
the capture of the ark, but it made
them so much trouble that they
were glad to send it back to the
Israelites. They put it on cart,
attached two cows. and drove them
off to the country of the 1sraelites.
The lowing of the cattle attracted
attention and the ark was taken by
its friends. Some Of the Israelites

The Iowa State College at Ames is
sending to the County Superintend-
ents, for them to send to all schools,
excellent suggestions on saving and
caring for their choicest corn to be
exhibited at the Local Corn Shows,
or at the State Corn Show in January,
or at the National Corn Show at
Omaha in December, or to be used for
seed next spring. The information
is so valuable that we print it for
the benefit of all the farmers in this
locality.
Gathering Seed.
l. TIME. The last 10 days in
September. Corn to be used for seed
should not be left in the field later
than Oct. 9TH. because it is likely
to be frozen during the cold nights.
Corn which is frozen when it con-
tains as much water as unhusked
corn does during October and Novemb-
er is likely to be killed or weakened.
This is why much of the seed corn
gathered at husking time fails to
grow.
2. METHOD. Go into the best
part of the best field on the farm and
select the seed there. Slip back the
husks on all desirable looking ears
which are growing at medium height
on strong, sturdy stalks. If an ear
is we'll ripened, that is, the kernels
