left the city and failed to take
provisions for himself and his
body guard. He soon found
himself a good distance from
Jerusalam, amongst enemies
and without food. God moved
a few faithful ones to prepare
food and all things necessary
for his comfort. He thinks of
this and remembers that God
had prepared table for him
right in the presence of his en-
emies. So God will take care
of his followers in spite Of all
our enemies, if we only trust
Him.
The shepherd boy had the
greatest honor of the time con-
ferred upon him-he was
crowned king. He gave God
the credit for it. All who ac-
cept Jesus and become his fol-
lowers are kings with Jesus.
God annoints the Christians
head with the oil of grace in
this life, and in the life to come
we will be joint heirs with
Jesus Christ our Lord. The
greatest honor to a Christian is
to be annointed with the Holy
Ghost, and this amounting
must take place if the Chris
tian has any influence for good
in this world.

do for them. If we look to
worldly affairs we shall want,
because worldly affairs must
perish. Lands, merchandise,
art, trade, profession, all these
may fail us at any time and we
be reduced to want; but if we
are letting the Lord be our
Shepherd, and if we are look
ing to him for everything, we
may boldly say with the Psalm
ist, II shall not WANT
David was thinking of the
untold blessings, both temporal
and spiritual, he was enjoying,
and compared his blessed estate
to that of the contented sheep
lying down in the green pas
ture. If we think of the many
blessings we are enjoying to-
day, blessings of freedom of
thought and worship, blessings
of schools and churches, bless
ings of home and community
life, blessings of prosperity
and then remember we have
the Bible, Gods Eternal Truth,
for our souls to feed upon, and
remember that the Scripture is
always fresh and can never be
exhausted. Can we not say
with the Psalmist, "He maketh
me to lie down in green pas
tures"?
Sheep have a natural aver
sion for running water. They
do not like to cross running
water, nor do they like to drink
where there are ripples on the
surface. The good shepherd
would find still waters for his
sheep to drink, and thus try te
crafty their peculiar desires
So it is with our great Shep
herd-Jehovah. He is willing
to crafty not only our needs
but our peculiar wHIMs, a
times, in order to make us hap
pv and more contented in ou1
service.
Then sheep do not like noise
They are best contented out il
pastures where all is calm ant
perfectly serene. Thus Coz
leads the Christian into cain
and serene life where they ar
not disturbed by doubts AM
fears and where there are still
calm waters.
There had been times Il
David's life when he wa
broken to pieces by trouble
such as when Absalom rebelle
and was killed. But God ha
lifted him from the bitter depth
of deep dependency and cause
him to rejoice and praise Coo
Trouble, SERIOUS trouble, too
will sooner or later come
every one Of us. The Christia
has the advantage over the III
E godly persons, because 20
helps the Christian to bes
:, trouble. What a blessed priv
lege to be able to say with tt
! Psalmist, 'He restoreth m
, soul".
The Psalmist recognizes tt
fact that God is leading hin
:, not because of any merit {
- his part, but for His name

- leads us in the paths of rigf

DYNAMITE BLAST
SHAKES NEWARK

For a brief period yesterday after
noon the residents Of Newark thought
there was another explosion at the du-
Pont powder mills in this city. The
town was shaken from one end TO the
the other and houses fairly rocked on
their foundations. Sashes were torn
from windows and many panes Of glass
we're broken.
The houses most seriously damaged
were those occupied by Frank Willis
and Thomas Long, the latter a cigar
dealer.
The shock was caused by railroad
employees putting down a big charge of
dynamite on the railroad spur be-
ing laid from the Pomeroy Branch to
the plant OF the American Vulcanized
Fibre Company. The workmen en-
countered some rock on the line and
IN order to remove this made a blast
The stone was not only removed but
the country for a half mile around

DESIGNS NEW
LETTER BOX
G. B. MCAlIiSter'S Newest In
VentiOn Intended For
Street Corners

George B. McAllister, the inventor
OF the street car mail box now In use
on the Delaware avenue line Of cars,
has had transmitted to him by the
Post Office Department at Washing
ton a novel street corner letter box,
Of which he Is the designer.
The box has an open top, or mouth.
FOR the reception Of mail matter like
tho mail boxes now in use on tho
street cars. Il was devised 10 admit
Of the dropping Of letters into Il, when
in position on corner. without the
trouble and time involved in the
manipulation OF lid as with the ex-
listing street corner letter boxes. Per-
sons wishing to deposit mail into il
can do while walking by the box, and
without the necessity Of hating for a
moment IN the act.
The box has several ingenious feat
ures aside from that of its exposed
opening. 1t is provided with a series
Of drafts so arranged as to divert the
highest winds that may blow into it's
opening away from the compartment
within it for letters. and its construc-
ton is alsdasuch as TO render Il ddip-
less and "splashless," at any point. IL
combines also a wind buffer" which
arrests currents OF air blowing up
wardly into a box through these
drafts.
An interesting result OF experiments
made by the Government with the box
has been that, in the heaviest snow
storms, no snow adheres TO any part
OF it, so that, IN the midst Of such
storms, Il is always seen as free Of the
snow as on a clear day. The boz
has also internal parts that serve e
make it burglar proof, notwithstanding
the entire exposure of its opening.
