saul's Spiritual Strength.

We have been accustomed to under
estimate Saufs character because we
recall his failures. But Saul showed
his spiritual life to be Of high order
when he rejected the popular plan to
destroy his personal enemies. The
warrior proved himself to be man of
peace and OF a magnanimous spirit to
his foes. refusing to allow any Israelite
to be sacrificed during their public re-
sG,icine y,nan % oyer I the triumph God had
No one can successfully lead others
In the way of life without first learn
Ing the lesson Of self-mastery Our
attitude toward those who oppose us
should be higher than that Of Saul,
because Christ has commanded us to
love our enemies. The battle that the
recently consecrated king was called
upon to fght in his own soul to crush
the natural hatred that sin breeds In
terry of self and the sin that doth SO
easily beset u.s. Is one we must all
fight. The more refined and genteel
the temptation the more difficult will
be our task Of overcoming.
In our emphasizing the love of God
We have been in the danger of over
looking the wrath of God. He that
loves the sinner hates sin that mains
his loved ones. Science, the handmaiden
of religion, has revealed more terrible
pcudi(lSS Nldh tAoSC IcIoIoCu III lHc
Scriptures. 'It has its hell. he'll Of
moral atrophy, a hell of moral de-
generacy. which any brave man might
well dread more than medieval fires"
The man that fails to see in the drapery
of eastern speech the certainty of a
future punishment may awake too late
to find himself a victim OF his own
failure to fight the battle against sin
with the aid of the power of God.
Saufs strength was more than self
mastery. He was conscious of the pres
ence. power and PURPOSE OF God. who
had called him to do His will. Our
Lord summons each one of US by His
divine spirit to obey His word, and
do His will. and Paul learned that the
secret OF strength was dependence upon
the power Of Christ.
Saul Joined his name with Samuel in
summoning the people to assemble at
Gilgal. where their fathers had, after
crossing the Jordan, erected their first
memorials to His guiding and saving
power. There they acknowledged the
| real victor by sacrifices and rejoicing
| as a people over their deliverance out
of the hands OF the Ammorites.
They had foretaste of the joys of
| heaven and of eternity as they renewed
the covenant of the kingdom.
If we are to share the joys of spirit
| ual victory both here and hereafter
we must recognize Christ as the source
| Of spiritual strength, and obtain from
Him the power by which we can con-
Quer our own personal sins and all the
foes Of our spiritual life.

j !, ,.-,,. Citrus (kO'.s
The Crop, It Is Believed, Can be
Increased At Least IS Per
Cent, at a Small Cost.

| Washington, D. Gin order
to minimize the damage done by
insect pests to citrus fruits IN
Florida, which on the average
amounts to from IS to 40 per
cent OF the crop, the Department
of Agriculture has worked out a
spraying scheme which has CIV
en- striking results in the three
years that it has been practiced.
Practically all of the damage
that insects do to citrus fruits IN
Florida can be attributed to SIX
species. The most destructive IS
the citrus whitefly; the second
the purple scale; and the third
the rust mite. To do away with
these pests Government special
lists advocate four spraying, two
of which are primarily intended
to kill the whitefy and scale in
sects and the two others to de-
stroy the rust mites. The num-
of sprayings, however, is not
fixed but depends to a large
measure upon the thoroughness
of the work and the seriousness
of the infestation.
The first spraying should be
done in May after the adults OF
the first brood of whiteflies have
disappeared and before the ap'
pearance of those of the SECOND
brood, At that time the fruit
should be an inch or more in di
ameter. A paraffin-oil emulsion
is used, prepared in accordance
with the formula described il
Bureau OF Entomalgy Circular
'I68. Following is the formula
i Whale oil soap, 8 pounds or
gallon, Paraffln oil, 2 gallons
, water, gallon,

stirred throughout the process
1t is important that the OF
! sh.auld be added in small quaint
ties and the stirring be sufficien
; to keep oil and soap in the form
|. of an emulsion. After the re
