for Saul's pursuit of David with ven

that followed David in his rapid move

their crops. as David did with Nabal

David Stirs Saul.

Following a goat path that he knew.
the three venturesome spirits were soon
on the opposite side of the valley. where
they could awake the camp of Saul by
their shouts. The clear air and atmos-
phere of Palestine carries the voice
easily over q long distance. The ironi-
cal protest Of David against the effi-
ency of Saufs protection aroused the
sleepers of the camp, who learned from
David's lips how he had Saul in his
power. but refused to punish his most
bitter enemy.
Saul recognized the voice of David.
The king was stirred by the magma
nimity of the one whom he pursued
with bitter hatred. He acknowledged
spirit of love conquered Saul. We have
been in the habit of thinking that the
greatest courage is shown on the bat
tiefield and have tried to develop the
heroic spirit of the nation. The fact
Is. that IL took moro heroism on the
part OF David to spare Saul and refuse
permission even to his servant and
brother-in-law. who asked to be al
lowed to take Saurs life. The last
words of Saul that David recalled were
those that confessed the mistakes of
Saul. and predicted the coming success
OF David.
The magnanimity of David fulfilled
the divine commands to love your
enemies. do good to them that hate
you" II points out to US the way to
win is the pathway Of love that crushes
animosity and destroys enemies by low
ing Kindness. We are summoned as a
nation to a similar conquest. leaving to
God to settle with the nation or indi-
viduaIs the rewards of life that call
for vengeance. The greatest overcom-
ing force in the world is love. Let us
love our enemies. and do good to all
that hate us. exhibiting the spirit OF
the Christ, that has made the poet sing
How wonderful. surprising great.
The holy love that cannot hate
That stoops not 10 retsliate-
But bears reproach and cruel scorn-
A love like Gods-of heaven born.
That harb0rs resentful thought.
But At the cross of Christ Is taught
To pray for enemies, and pleads
For Gods compssston on their deeds
And grace TO meet their souls deep needs.

David Seeking Saul.
David, in his plans for visiting the
camp Of Saul. was moved by other mo-
tives. He recognized that Saul stood
between him and the throne as well
as the men who volunteered to go with
him. but David. although he had kill
ed more than one man. would not strike
a blow against any one who God had
selected for His service.
Saul was Gods anointed and David
was unwilling to secure tho throne by
means of murder. He was not afraid
of Saul. nor of his army. SO he selected
two trustworthy attendants, with

Get Rich Slowly,

The American Bankers association,
through its savings bank section. is
circulating some facts that the Herald
is very glad to pass along, because
they emphasize and enforce the
strength and possibilities Of personal
thrift.
1t is no "get-rich-quick" scheme the
bankers offer. But IL any experience
in life is proved, 1t is that "get-rich-
quick" schemes do not work. They
work Just often enough to prove the
rule, and to prove the companion rule
that nothing is appreciated. nothing
does any good, that is not worked for
and earned. Riches gained quickly are
lost quickly.
The plan proposed by the bankers Is
based on this proposition: That If a
man earning $40 a week saves $5 a
week he can double his income by the
end Of 20 years; and, Of course, he
will be increasing 1t all the time
