One would need 10 be very sure OF
the fact before taking the response
bility OF telling another that God had
rejected him. Samuel seems to have
been sure.
Goo never rejects man without a
reason But when he has reason he
is always true. Hebrews says, Our
God is a consuming fire"
Saul was told to do a certain thing,
and was also told exactly how thor
ough he should be. He had no option
in the matter because he was told by
God When God says do" or do
not, there is no room for human OPP
ton.
Samuel was well known 10 be the
messenger oi God. The nation had
learned that ne could be believed when
he ead. Thus saith the Lord" Saul
knew this better than any other man
OF his nation.
The story is familiar to Bible stud
ents. Tie teacher, however, must go
on the sapposi,'on that no Sunday
school scholar knows what God had
told Saul TO do. The teacher must
read or tell what is said in chapter Is,
verses l-I2.
The king and the prophet were very
close in touch with each other. The
prophet was the kings chief counsel
Tor. He went one day TO the king with
fearful message, 1t was this: GO
destroy whole people" The people
called Amaekitcs were old enemies
OF Gods people. Moses had had
trouble from them, God had a reason
for his order. When he says do" il

THE CHURCHES

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Rev. Hcnry-SIartyn Campbell pastor, preached Sunday morning on The Christians Secret of a Happy Life" using as a text Psalms S7:1, 5, 1, , and :.
 In the verses chosen for the text David. writing in his old age. gives five exhortations. Surely David was speaking. not alone by inspiration, but from a life of experience. How differ. ent the experiences of David and Solo, mon. Vanity of vanities," said Solo mon. "all is vanity" David had his afflictions, but God had delivered him out of them all. and now when he is old he sings with the greatest joy the songs of God and assures us that he l. rejoicing. The experience of David, the king, ought to be the experience of every true child of God. These words are written to make it possible for you and for me to rejoice, for they express the Christian secret of a happy life.
 \ most important part of this SC Cret is revealed in the eXhortatiOn, Fret not myself because of evil doers- Don't worry is a command that has back of it the wisdom of all wise men and women of ali ages. Literature is full of exhortations that emphasize this Our proverbs repeat the thought again and again. What can't be cured must be endured.' serves as an illus tration of this common eXaortation. It is possible for us to shut out the clouds. to be happy in the midst Of trouble. if we take God for our helper. If you. because you are child of God. compel yourself to laugh with the ris- ing sun. you will laugh voluntarily be fore the sun goes down. David had had much experience with evil doers, and so his words come to us with ad- ded force. God doesn't want us to spend time worrying about things that are not going right. God has promised great victories and he is giving them.
Arizona republican., 1908-03-23

Another eXhortation in setting forth the Christians secret oi a happy life is. Trust in the Lord" Trust means 10 confide in, to have confidence in. You can trust no person or being in whom you do not have confidence. We trust the bank. the physician, the business house. the friend. we trust men in every relation in life. and so we ought to have confidence in God. If Napol- con could be down and sleep in the midst of a great battle. just because he had confidence in his trained bat talions. how much more should we trust in Almighty God.
 Delight myself also in the Lord and he shall give thee the desire of thine heart" What is it to delight ones self in the Lord? No answer is better per haps than the words Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteous neSs.' Seek for God in everything and seek everything in God. If we delight ourselves in him. he has promised to give Us the desires of our heast. God doesn't mean anything by that that He doesn't say and if we really delight ourselves in him, there will be no de- sire of our hearts unsa tisfied. It is Gods absolute guarantee of happiness to those who delight in him. Your happiness depends not upon your en- vironment. and conditions, and sur roundings. but upon yourself. If the heart is right and the purposes of the life noble. the life must be a happy one.
 If we delight not ourselves in the ord Ina, hs .r our heart. Why is it true? Because of the fact that things cant satisfy the soul. As certainly as I am a spir- ituai being, a~- certainly as I am made in the image of God. as certainly as my time to live is foreN CT and forever. so certain is it that only the things that are spiritual and God-like can satisfy the soul Philips Brooks well said: You can easily fill a chest with grace or a vessel with virtue as to satisfy the heart with things" Things are too uncertain to satisfy the soul. The man who tries to satisfy his soul with wealth never has the satisfaction he seeks He does not find happiness The moro one has of things. the more he wants. Things do not satisfy.
 Trust in the Lord; wait patiently for Him." Those words contain wonderful meaning. For one thing they mean that you and I are not to con cern ourselves about the workings of Gods providence in the world. Wait until He has completed His plan. 1T the days are lark and dreary. if into your life the rain is Calling fast, if mystery is all around you and you can not begin to comprehend the providence of God, if you say there is no anchor for your soul, just listen and forth from the future. perchance from the very threshold of eternity you will hear the voice of God saying to you earnestly and pleadingly. Trust me. Believe that I am working out my plan; don't doubt my goodness: wait patiently on me; rest in the Lord.

SUFFRAGISTS
GAIN GROUND
MOVEMENT WHICH FIRST AMUSED
LONDON HAS NOW COMPELLED
UNWILLING RECOGNITION.

LONDON, December 25.-There is no
phase Of English political life at the
present moment more curious and in
teresting than the development of the
woman's suffrage movement. 1t is not
at all impossible that it's clamorous
adherents will wiring from one party or
the other within a comparatively short
time the full adoption of their pro-
gram. Their agitation has pretty
well survived the stage of ridicule and
they have at last reached the position
of a faction which compels political
recognition.
The writer attended the first meeting
of the doctors league for women suf-
frage held at Queens Hall recently. 1t
was a public meeting only in a res
tricted sense admission being by ticket
only, and every precaution being taken
to exclude the "lRttle brown dog"
agitators, who copy the sunragettes'
own methods and break up every suf-
frage meeting to which they can gain
admission. So there were no live rats
or offensive chemicals to district and
terrorize the female portion of the
audience.
There were prominent speakers, but
Israel Zangwill was the most enjoyed.
He assured his audience that the strug-
gle for women suffrage was not a
duel but duet. Just as the cowl did
not make priest, so petticoats did not
make a suffragette, and there are many
suffragettes in trousers. He announc-
ed the fragrant injustice of denying
women equal recognition with men IN
their work in the professions. Now
she could not be elected a member OF
the Royal Academy.
Rev. Reginald John Campbell, pastor
of the City Temple, attacked the social
side of the problem. arguing that sur
frage for women would help to cure
prostitution, because the resulting le-
gislation would tend to put womens
labor on a par with that of men in its
financial Tecompense.
1T is damnable." he exclaimed, "to

ty which chiefly recruits the army of

Lord Russell criticized some of the
extreme tactics of the suffragettes in
breaking up all public meetings, but
the audience, which was composed two
thirds of women, did not agree with
him, and there were many Kisses He
paCified them by assurances of SYM
pathy with their cause.
1t is said that the secret of the mill
tant features of the suffragettes' cam
paign which first amused and has now
compelled unwilling recognition of
their claims by the leaders of both
parties in England is the advice given
to the suffragette managers by former
Prime Minister Balfour more than a
year ago. He told them that only by
extreme agitation at any and all times
could they hope to gain their point
One may imagine that Mr.. Balfour is
now sorry that he spoke.
It was significant that at the above
meeting, although the speakers dis
Cussed all manner of objections to wo-
men suffrage. not one touched the
fundamental one which governs most
objections in this country namely that

TERRORRIZING THE NEGROES.
ALBANY, Ga, Dec 24-Advices
from Kestler, on the Georgia, Florida
and Alabama railway, where a negro
secret society hall was dynamited sew
eral weeks ago, state that the outrages
are being repeated, two secret society
halls in the county near Kestler hav-
ing been dynamited Friday One OF
the buildings was the Odd Fellows
Hall at Corea four miles south of
Kestler and the other the Supreme
Circles meeting place at Salem
Church.
There appears to be a campaign OF
destruction waged against negro Sc
cret societies, whose halls to the num-
Der of at least five have been demol-
ished within the last month. As the
result of the dynamiting of so many
lodgerooms, there is a reign of terror
among the negroes in the vicinity OF
Kestler.
They believe that whites are dyna-
hitting their halls on account of the
difficulty in securing labor the labor
troubles being blamed on the secret
orders.
