David's development well illustrates
Gods method, for though his path was

them; and though he had to suffer

In the Bible references given we get
three glimpses of David. The story
of David's life Is all told in the two
books of Samuel, and one can hardly
start reading anywhere in these BOOKS
without becoming absorbed with inter

and priest, to be King of Israel. David
was the ninth and youngest son of
Jesse, poor sheep-rancher OF Bethle-
hem, and about the last person in that
country whom he himself or any one
else expected to become king. He is
pictured as a healthy. rugged. and
beautiful boy, a character IN the
beautiful Valley of Promise" As
soon as he was anointed, the Spirit Of
the Lord came upon David from that
day forward" and as we follow the
narration through his busy. eventful
life we see that this Spirit dominated

churches who have become interested

The Chapel.

The practical Christian is seldom abb
sent from the house of worship. He will
find delight in the chapel of Ecclesiastes
listening to the words Of wisdom as they
fall from the lips Of the wise preacher.
Here we have the great sermon on
Vanity Of Vanities, All Is Vanity" A
doctrinal, a penitential, a practical and
profitable sermon, the conclusion Of
which is to establish the truth that Ito
fear God and keep His commandments is
the whole duty OF man.
There is sadness in the discourse Of
the great preacher in his lamentations
over the follies and mistakes of his
past life, but as has been well said,
'Ecclesastes is favorite book, in spite
of its sadness, because it emerges from it's
sadness unto the true life, which is eternal

the Christian is ready to enter the
workroom Of the Proverbs and en-
gage in the practical service of his
Masters business.
The design of tho book of Proverbs
is to instruct men how to carry on
the work of righteousness.
It's words of instruction apply to
every class of men and to every con-
dition of 1ife-to rulers and all in sta
tions of power and influence and to
those in the humblest walks of life.
1t presents rules for the regulation of
conduct under all circumstances and
environments. 1t teaches the respective
duties Of fathers, mothers. wives. hus-
bands, sons, daughters. masters and
servants and enforces its teachings by
appealing to the highest motives of
life, such as natural affection, love,
honor and piety toward God, in order to
lead men to the practice of morality
and right living. And in order to de-
ter men from immortality. impiety. i'm

ligacy, injustice and every vice 1t
paints such sins in darkest colors and
points out the fearful destruction at
tending them.

favorite with all who seek "to know
wisdom and instruction and practical
Rodliness.

IDAHO IN ROLE OF BEGGAR.

Sundays Statesman contained a
cartoon that seathingly rebukes those
who would bring back to Idaho the
pass evil. 1t pictures Idaho as a beg
gar soliciting aims from the railroad
company.
The same paper states that three
state officials-Governo Alexander,
Treasurer Eagleson and Secretary
Barker-have refused to accept pass
es. The two latter officials arc to be
commended for the position they have
taken. But Governor Alexander lays
himself open to the charge of being
hypocrite. By his signing the bill
which amended the aEti-pass act 50
that officials might accept passes, he
gave his approval to the nefarious
law. His present action is to say the
least inconsistent.
The reasons given by Secretary Of
State Barker for refusing free trans
portation from the railroad company
are high-minded and logical He says:
| refused to make application for
free transportation because of my be-
lief that public officials should not |
ride upon passes. The so-called pass
bill' has been a political issue in near
ly all the states, and an anti-pass law
has beer upon the statutes Of this
state. The last Legislature made eX
ceptions to its provisions and in a
large measure nullified it.
The present law was passed by the
legislature in answer to an appeal of
poverty in behalf of the state. 1t was
in measure reflection of the repu-
diation plans of Governor Alexander
did not think at that time, nor do l
think now, that under the most IA
vorable commercial conditions, can the
state afford other than TO pay for val
ue received. There should be no more
reason for the railroads to give free
transportation to state officials than
there is for the baker or butcher TO
give free bread or meat to the sol
diers' home or penitentiary. II

Idaho has become SO INDECENT that 1t
