made q sad blunder. for David had

Why You Sneaxa.

There Is more than one cause for
sneezing. and persons may differ in
their susceptibility to them. A bright
light will cause some persons to sneeze.
the pollen of certain plants will affect
others, and most people are likely TO
sneeze In the presence OF dust. Such
sneezing is due to superficial irritation.
The sneeze caused by the effect Of
cold is different. 1t is an attempt of
nature to cure you. She makes you
sneeze for the same reason that she
makes you shiver-to generate heat for
warming the blood and preventing you
from taking more cold-to help relieve
the cold you have.
The sneezing from cold is not an ACT
Of the nose alone. this being merely the
part Of the body where 1t explodes. 1t
is an act of the entire body during
which every muscle gives a jump. The
body is affected by a spasmodic effort
to warm the entire system and throw
of the cold.-Boston Herald.

The Lesson Explained. Chapter ii,
1-4a.-The new king.
After David had demonstrated to
Saul that he was not guilty of the
charges that were directed against him
he still remained in foreign parts. For
sixteen months he served Achish, the
king Of Gath. During this time he
was often in the dilemma Of trying to
be loyal to the interest of Achish and
not do harm to his own people. At an
opportune time he was released by
this king, for when he returned to
Ziklag, his city, he found that the
Amalekites had attacked 1t during his
absence. Everything was in ruins, but
he and his warriors lost no time in
pursuing after these marauders and
recovering their W families and prop
erty. He also distributed a portion Of
the spoil among the elders in the cities
Of southern Judah, where David him.

Gilboa with great slaughter. Saul also
persisted there. David's opportunity
had at last come, but notice how dis

that God was at the helm of affairs.
and he took 10 step without divine
guidance. He therefore inquired of
the Lord at this crisis by means OF
the Trim and Thummin which We're In
charge of the high priest Abiathar.
These oracles gave answer by a 'Yes"
or a mo" go up The answer was
interpreted favorably. and on further
inquiry he was directed to go unto
Hebron" This city was twenty miles
to the south of Jerusalem. Its central
position In the land of Judah, its
mountainous location and the fact that
David was well known In this region
were among the reasons why this an
cient city with sacred associations was
an appropriate place for him to be
crowned king.

his family and his followers, altogeth-

cities of Hebron" They settled in
and around this city, while David wait

taken by "the men of Judah" his fell
low tribesmen. David was about ff-
teen years old when Samuel anointed
him to the high office Of king. and

At a distance Of about 5000 yards the
