the narratives that give the facts con-
cerning the shepherd-king, whose an
ointing as king took place ten years
before he received the crown OF the
kingdom as the successor Of Saul,
whose rejection of Israers king we
considered last week.
Samuers rupture with Saul was per-
manent because the penitence of the
latter was caused by his disgrace. not
by his sin. He failed to secure a re-
versal of the Judgment of God, because
he sought not the restoration of divine
favor, but q return to his proud posi-
ton of power before the people.
The mental condition of Saul. who
had shown signs of incipient insanity
that finally developed into acute melan-
cholia. filled Samuel with sorrow. for
he loved the king for his many fine and
noble qualities. He regretted that the
condition of Saul and the Judgment OF
Jehovah prevented his ever again as
sisting the rejected king.
Samuel feared the future outcome for
the nation. He saw the danger of pos
sible tribal jealousy and the nation d.
vided by civil war through the ambi-
tions of those who might desire the
considerations. The dark outlook which
he foresaw-or at least thought he
foresaw-was the cause Of the patri-
otic prophets sorrow that God rebuked
when he called him to service. The

Dangerous Mission.

The best cure for sorrow and disap-
pointments Is found in doing God 8
work and will Frequently We find. as
Samuel did, that there is no foundation
for our dark forebodings. for God has
not allowed, and never will permit. the
failures of men to interfere with His
plans for the advancement of the race.
Samuel was summoned from his sor-
row to service, for God desired to an
oint the lad that He had selected in
Bethlehem to rule over the kingdom
He had taken from Saul and his family.
1t is our privilege today to overcome
our sorrow by service for the King that
was born in Bethlehem centuries ago,
whose power over death, the last en-
emy to be destroyed. the world remem-
bers every Easter.
Samuel did not lay aside his fears
until after he had started to obey the
commands of Jehovah. He feared that
he was to be sent to an unknown
youth, whose anointing would mean at
once the starting of a rebellion against
Saul, that would divide the nation and
cause Saul to seek his life as traitor.
Samuel's faith for time had been
weakened by his brooding over the re-
lection of Saul, SO that he exaggerated
its difficulties and dangers. Unbelief,
despondence and fear all disappear

A Modern Singer.

On the 18th of last February there
passed out Of this life the one who,
more than any other In history, has
been appropriately called "the singer
with the consecrated voice"-Mrs. Van
Alstyne, known and loved the world
over by her maiden name of Fanny
Crosby. The familiar story of her LIE
Is simple tale, but eternity alone can
reveal the results produced by her
songs. Stricken with blindness in In
fancy, she became teacher OF the
blind in the school she attended as
pupil, and there experienced the change
of heart which gave her the conscious
ness of forgiven sins and the love OF
God, "unspeakable and full of glory"
Inspired by this wondrous love and
atonement, she soon began to pour out
her message in a stream of song sweet.
simple and direct. and
LAS effortless as woodland hooks
Send violets up, and paint them blue
The sincerity Of her message was at
tested by the response 1t evoked. In
the days of revival that followed the
civil war, when the words of such
man as Moody stirred the continents
to their depths and when the gospel
was sung everywhere to the melodies
of such men as Sankey, Bliss and
Doane and host of others, the name
of Fanny Crosby became known and
loved throughout the eEnglish-speaking
blind singer were sung and her story
told the Interest of the multitude was
aroused. and often by the searching
message of her songs hard hearts
were melted. and lives fired with de-
votion for the Master.
Not all of her hymns will live, and
perhaps only one or two of them will
survive the test Of time. Charles wes-
ley wrote more than 5000 hymns. yet
there are but about three dozen in
common use today. But. regardless of
the future fate of her hymns. no man
can ignore their influence on the life
of our own times. 1t is impossible
to imagine the evangelistic, the Sun
day school or the prayer meeting
world of the last generation without
such songs as Though Your Sins Be
as Scarlet" Safe In the Arms of
Jesus" Pass Me Not" Rescue the

Message to Epworth League.

The lesson is interpreted for US In
Jesus parable of the talents. The
servant upon whom he pronounced
such awful judgment had done nothing
with his talent. but hid it in the earth,
excusing himself by saying: My talent
is SO small, and the talents of these
other people are SO large! I can't do
as much as they can. SO what Is the
use of trying to do anything?" Many
an Epworth Lacquer will recognize
this as the very same excuse he or she
has been using for shirking RESPONSE
bilities and falling to take advantage
of opportunities.
There Is here, too a double lesson
for the chapter. First, the latent pow
er and undeveloped talent should be
sought out and given the opportunity
and made to feel the responsibility Of
developing by service. And second, the
power Of music as spiritualizing force to
Christians and a soul-winning force to
others. should never be lost sight Of To
illustrate this one need but mention the
name Of Sankey, Bliss. Phillips, Wesley,
Matheson, Luther, Watts. or David. or
any one of the many. many others whose

DISMISSED CLAIM FOR
FURTHER COMPENSATION.
Commissioner Donohue Gives Decision
in c. M. Nelson's Case.

After a hearing. in the case of
Charles NJ. Nelson to determine
whether disability had ceased at the
end of six weeks from the time the
the United States Finishing company
because of injuries that Mr.. Nelson
received while at work, Compensation
Commissioner James J. Donohue has
rendered q decision in which he says
that, considering all the facts in the
case, and from the evidence presented.
it is found that the claimants dis
ability ended at the time he received
his last payment of compensation, and
therefore his claim for further COM
pensation is dismissed.
Mr.. Nelson who lives at 566 North
Main street, was injured and had both
legs bruised on Aug. II, 1915, while in
the employ of the United States Fin
ishing company.
Compensation was paid to the in
jured employee in this case at the rate
of IS week for a period Of six weeks
said compensation amounting to $50.
From the evidence presented it ap
pears that after Nelson's disability
caused by injury previously described
had ceased, he returned to work again
for the same company and continued
in their employ for three weeks lack
Ing one day, at which time he was dis
charged for causes in no way con-
nected with his disability or injury.
ABOUT week after leaving the en-
ploy of the United States Finishing
company claimant went to work for
the Shetucket company of Norwich, in
whose employ he remained for some
three weeks, and, according to the
OVerseer. he would have been continued
at the same work were it not for the
fact that the work became slack and
he was laid off simply for lack of
work and not because Of any physical
disability. In fact while in the en-
ploy of the Shetucket company, Nell
son earned $13 a week. a sum consid-
erably in excess of what he earned in
the employ of the United States Fin
insh company, his average wages there
for IS weeks being $9.06, which would
tend to show that Nelson was able to
earn much more money after the in
jury than before; in other words, it
appears that there was no lack of
earning power due to any disability
| which was occasioned by the injury in
question.
At the hearing it was suggested by
the overseer of the Shetucket COM
pany that he would give the claimant
work in another department of the
mill which was running more steadily
If he so desired, and the claimant &C.
cepted the opportunity offered.
