Game Of Acid Drops.

Let the company sit In two rows.
facing each other, the ladies' in one
row and the gentlemen opposite them.
Two leaders must be nominated. Of
whom one. a lady. walks along behind
the row of gentlemen, and whispers
to each a serious question, which they
must in turn address later to their
vis-a-vis.
The gentleman leader walks behind
the row of ladies and to each whispers
something of a perfectly absurd. or
very biting character, which each must
repeat in answer to the question ask
ed of her by her opposite. Neither
leader must know anything of the
questions or answers proposed.
The gentleman at the head of his
row, then. at a given signal, asks with
due gravity of the lady opposite to
him the question that was given to
him. She will reply, with equal gravr
ity, in the exact words of the answer
that has been given her. Question and
answer must be repeated thrice with
out the shadow Of a smile.
The next couple then take up the
task, and SO on until every couple has
gone through the ordeal. Failure in
any respect whatever puts the person
out of the game.
This game is SO popular that an en-
core is sometimes demanded. In that
east the ladies will ask the questions
given by the gentleman leader and the
gentlemen give the answers prompted
by the lady leader.

is not so much OF ill-gotten wealth that
we may sacrifice to the Lord; 1t is not
so much of the proceeds acquired, di
rectly or Indirectly. by wrong doing

sacrifice must be from the heart. First
of all must be the will. Whoever gives
his will to the Lord gives all; whoever

by the Lord.
Although the Lord, through the
Prophet Samuel, announced King
Saul's rejection, the prediction was evil
IDENTIFY mol fulfilled for several years
afterward. Quite possibly the king
was properly exercised by his rejec-
ton and became more attentive to the
Divine will: and David, who was prob
ably anointed about this time, was not
yet sufficiently developed to be the
Lords representative in Saul's stead.
King Saul's next severe trial was In
connection with the Amalekites, a
fierce nomadic people who had on sew
eral occasions done injury to Israel.
In sending the message to the king.
the Lord gave special instructions that
the Amalekites should be utterly de-
stroyed. He also specified that the de-
struction was on account of Amalek's
opposition to Israel in the way when
the Israelites came out of Egypt, sew
eral centuries before.

KING saurs WiIfuI pisobedisnoe.


La this trial King Saul's error was
his failure to carry out the Lords COM
mands explicitly. He slew all the
Amalekites except the king, whom he
kept alive, possibly thinking to exhibit
him in a triumphal display. AS for the
f1ocks and herds, he consented with his
people to spare all that were good and
desirable. At this juncture the Prophet
Samuel arrived, and the colloquy of
our lesson ensued-
The Prophets Indignation and the
Lords positive statement clearly indi-
cate that King Saul had not misunder-
stood his instructions, but had deliber-
ateiy violated them. Consequently his
words to the Prophet must have been
to a great extent hypocritical. The
Prophet stopped the King in his ex-
PLANTATION. and told him in the Lords
words of the night preceding-in Jew
fish reckoning ''this night" because
their day begins In the evening.
King Saul sought to defend his
course and to lay the responsibility
upon the hosts Of Israel. The Proph-
cts answer is the pith of today's

sympathy and love. There is but one
answer to this matter, and it should
be satisfactory to all who understand
1t. 1t is this:
The slaughter of the Amalekites did
not mean, as usually inferred, that they
went forthwith to eternal torture. To
them, death had the same meaning that
it had to their cattle-a termination OF
whatever was desirable In the present
life. Slaughtered by the sword, the
Amalekites suffered far less than IL
they had died of hunger or disease.
All went down to the great prison-house
Of death-Sheol, Hades, the tomb.
God had already arranged a great
redemption. not only for the Amale-
kites, but for all mankind. That re-
demption, secured by the great sacrifice
of Christ centuries after their death,
viii by and by secure to them release
from their imprisonment-an awaken
ing from the death sleep. They Will be
amongst those mentioned by our Lord,
saying, "All that are in their graves
shall hear the voice Of the Son of God
and shall come forth" They will come
forth under much more favorable on
ditions. to learn OF Divine grace in
Christ and to be amongst the families
Of the earth to be blessed by the Seed
Of Neutrality-suspicious. Israel.
