THE CITY OF DAVID
THE CITY OF GOD.
. Samuel 6:l-19; Psalm 24.-May 30.
Jerusalem the New Capital-God's
Presence Desired-The Ark TO BE
BrOught-Uzzah Slain-0bed- Edom
Blessed-The Lesson Learned-Thc
Ark Properly Brought S0lemnity
With ReiOicing-Tabernacle Of God.
81 was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go into the House of Je-
hOvah."-Psalm 122s1.
Guided by Divine providence. King
David captured Jerusalem. FOR cen
turies an impregnable fortress held
by fhe Jebusites, and made il the
capital of Israel. One of his first
acts was TO provide himself a palace
heftting the dignity of the nation,
To this end he obtained from King
Hiram of Tyre material and skilled
craftsmen.
Soon King David's spiritual nature
SO marked in his Psalms, asserted IT,
self. and he prepared to transfer the
Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem
The Tabernacle at Mob had fallen into
disuse when King Saul destroyed ths
priests because they gave comfort &C
David: and King Saul had II removed
to Gibeah: but the Ark had not beer
in the Tabernacle for a long time
Ellis wicked sons had taken II into
battle: and Il was captured by tho
Philistines, who received chastise
ments from the Lord until they re
turned It to Kiriathjearim. There 4
had remained for seventy years.
A Great Lesson In Reverence.
Intent upon honoring God. Kinl
David had nevertheless neglected {,
look particularly into the Divine Law
regulating the Ark and its movements
Divine providence now gave him
great lesson respecting reverence TO
the Almighty and carefulness for tn
Law. He had not esteemed the Arl
highly enough. Really, II was th
most important article of furniturl
in the Tabernacle. The Divine di
rection was that the priests shoul'
cover the Ark. and that the Levite
should bear il upon their shoulders
Neglecting these instructions, tn
king had a new cart made, drawn b.
oxen. But this was not Gods way
and a lesson of reverence for tn
Ark, which symbolized Gods char
acter and His Mercy-Seat, must b.
given.
The appropriate time came whel
the oxen, drawing the cart over
smooth sloping surface tilted II
little Uzzah attempted to steady tn
( Ark. and was Immediately smitte
! dead with lightning. This evidenc
/ of Divine displeasure brought tn
/ festivities to a sudden termination

 Democratic Senators Reach Capitol

Washington. Feb. 4-vice-Presi- dent Marshall probably will cast the vote which decides whether the ad- nainistration ship bill lives or dies at this session of Congress. ThA last of the few instances in which the Vce-President of the United States has swung the balance was when the late James s. Sherman cast the de- ciding vote for the Bristow resolution which put a constitutional amend ment for direct election of Senators before the people.
 Administration Democrats reform ed their lines today and found they had only 46 votes against 4S Repub- licans waiting to send the bill back to the commerce committee without in .tructions. Their only course was to stave off a vote while Senator Newlands hurries back from Califor- nia and Senator Smith, of South Car olina can come from his wife.s sick room. .s-s

JANUARY HOLDS RAINFALL RECORD
 FOR 22 YEARS
Only Once Before In AZ Years Has Precipitation
 Been Equalled

January 1915 has been record slasher. when it comes to weather conditions. Greater rainfall, lower minimum. temperature and higher number of cloudy and partly cloudy skies than have been on record for over quarter of a century is the re- port of U. s. cooperative meterolog- icaI observer, William Jennings, in his report filed today.
 A total of T.67 inches of rain and snow fell during the month with 2.07 inches in one day, Jan. IS. There was total fall of but inches snow
 with Is inches remaining on the ground during the rain of January 31. There were but 12 clear days, 1s either being entirely overcast or partly so. The first hailstorn was re- corded January 25 with sIeet on the 25th and 27th.
 The precipitation for the month is the greatest on record for January in
 22 years and has not been equalled in this section in the A years that weather statistics have been kept
 here.
 Temperatures during the month va ried greatly the maximum being that
 ba1rny spring figure of 58 (Jan- D with an opposing wintry minimum of 10 degrees above zero on Jan, 80, or a mean of 34 degrees. Both of
 these graduations of the mercury es- tabIish new records here. for the ab-
 so1Iate maximum temperature on rec ord here is CT degrees, obtained in January 1907. The minimum for the month was smashed for it has never been lower that 14 degrees which was recorded in 1904.
 As the mean temperature for A 1 has been 28.1, with 8 mean of 34 for January! another smash in past per fornances has been completed by a running start of 5.9 degrees. l The greatest daily range in the thermometric registration was 29 q > grees, occurring on Jan. 5, while the least fluctuation of the column was noted during two consecutive days Jan. 27-8 when but a three degree variation was observed. The prevail ling wind direction for the month was westerly Altoget1Ar an interesting d and indictment month.

DAVIS WILL PLAY
 PAPPELMEISTER IN
 1.-THE MELTING POT

'
 Samuel w Davis was made for the heavy parts that dramatics re- quire in various instances. He was .sborn'' for the roles of Butchy char acter. Avoirdupois accomplished the first and Pennsylvania the second for him. But no matter how it hap pened he is just right for the Pappel- meister in The Melting Pot'' which is to be given by the social department Of the Young Mems Christian associa- ton at the Park theatre next Monday evening.
 MT Davis has lived in Bridgeport about 18 years and much of that time has been connected with the ' oung Mems Christian Association. In fact he is the dean of the secretaries at the association. At present he is an Instructor in the educational de- partnent, weekly handling large cIas- ses, although for time he gave his whole effort to association work.
 As a youth MT. Davis spoke at school and in debating societies. He has been one of the students in the debating class at the Y. M. c. A, and through his duties as secretary had quite number of speeches to make. As much of his part in the play de- bends upon the force and quality of his speech his experience stands him in good stead. MT. Davis is a grad uate of WiIliston Seminary and he has had a teaching experience of ten years In theatrica1s, minstreIs, etc, given by the Y. M. c. A. he has taken many parts with credit to himself and will add more 1aureIs in sThe Melt | ing Pot.''

CORONER READY TO INVEST IGATE DEATH
 OF CHARLES SMITH

Coroner PheIan will tomorrow be- gin an inquest into the suicide of Charles Smith. who hanged himself in cell at the L4akeview detention ward. The inquest will include a personal visit to Lakeview, inquiry into the methods used in guarding mentally unbalanced persons de- tained there as well as the number of orderlies CT nurses provided.
 Smiths suicide is attributed to a mental anliction resulting in his be- 1ieving that God had called upon him to end his life. He first came into public notice about two weeks ago when he approached Policeman Beamer on Water street and asked to be shot. He afterwards made the same request sof the emergency hos pitaI surgeon. Under the treatment of pr. MaconaId, Lakeview superin- tendent, he had apparently recovered sufficiently to be allowed outside work.
 His dead body. swinging from a pair of saspenders attached to the bars of his cell. was found by a night watchrnan when he made his rounds about A o'clock in the morn ing. Nothing has been learned con cerning smiths past history. home or relatives
