Hartford. Feb. 3.-saTfere never was
a time in the history of the United
States when there was more reason to
encourage greater agricultural activity
- when 81 greater responsibility rest
ed on the farmers Of this western
world said Howard Elliott. president
OF the New Haven road, in addressing
the annual NEE ting of the Connecticut
genealogical society here last evening.
Continuing he said: With increased
demand for corn, wheat and beef prod
ucts by Europe, now in the gigantic
struggle Of a horrible war. its pro-
ducing population threat ened with ex-
Termination and much Of the county
devastated, drawing heavily on this
country for its staple food, with our
own rapidly increasing population and
respondingly demands upon our re-
sources. the responsibi1ity of cur gov
srrl 1nent and those engaged In Amer1-
can agriculture is very great.
THAT there will be some shortage
in the worlds food supply is one of
| the results of the war this
country can produce more. New Eng
land can produce more and can feed
her own people and have g surplus for
the unfortunate people on the other
side, if we can devote ourselves to
this important work. and waste less
time in interfering with and cTfticixing
business. :.
MT. Elliott said there was a close
inter-relation between farming and
railroading, and it was to the farmers
selfish interest to see that railroads
were so treated that they will at all
times be ready to handle their bust
ness.

On this occasion, David and his
nephew entered Saul's camp and took
from beside his head his spear and his
water-bottle. Then from al opposite
hill, a ravine between, David pointed
out to the king that he was not only
more vigilant than Saul's soldiers, but
mere loyal to the kings interests; and
that to pursue him was a mistake.
A Profitable Lesson
David's explanation of his unwilling.
ness to take his enemy's life was that
Saul's was the Lords anointed, and
that to assault the king was to attack
the Almightyss arrangements. This he
could not conscientiously do. 'Touch
not Mine anointed."
1t is well to have this principle in
mind. We are not to think Of the kings
Of today as the Lords anointed, how.
ever. They are their own anointed
Their kingdoms are kingdoms Of this
world. On the contrary. Israel was
Gods special kingdom. under a special
covenant arrangement. By Divine au-
thority King Saul had been anointed
with the special amounting oil, typify-
ing the Holy Spirit. David's amounting
with the same oil was not to give him
a right to interfere with the Lords
amounting previously accomplished in
SauI, but to assure him that he was
to be Saul's successor.

Saul and making him his successor.
1t was because David was thus full
of faith in God and possessed the spirit
of obedience to Him that he was called
a man after Gods own h~eart-not that
he was perfect, but that the Lords will
was his real hearts desire, and when
ever through weakness he took a differ
ent course, he promptly repented on
seeing the mistake, implored Divine
forgiveness and changed his course.
While %sojourning at the cav OF
Adullam, David, in a fit of homesick-
ness, referred to the fine well-water of
his Bethlehem home, intimatlng how
much he would relish 1t. Thereupon
three of his followers undertook the
periious journey, unknown to David.
They were outlaws, and Bethlehem
was in the hands of the Philistines;
yet these brave men obtained a water.
skin from the favored well. When
they presented it to David, he de.
clared that the water was gotten at too
great a cost to be lightly used. Then

This brought to David one of Anime

prophet had also Joined David. All
this convinced King Saul the more that
Gods favor was departed from him
Nevertheless he continued to fight
against the Divine Program.
On one occasion David and his COM
pany were occupying a cave on the
west side of the Dead Sea, when King
Saul and his men entered the cave fol-

associates were further back in the
cave; and when Saul's company enter
