that the dead are alive contradicts
Gods Word, and is the foundation OF
the grievous errors which have dis

for the dead or say masses for their
release from Purgatory, If they knew
that their dead were merely sleeping
until the resurrection.
"Ths Song Of the Bow"
When David heard of the defeat, his
sympathy for Saul and Jonathan was
expressed in beautiful poem z Sam.
uel 1:17-2O. The Dead March from
Saul is an attempt to put into modern
music Davids Song Of the Bow.
In the battle Saul's sons were killed,
including Jonathan. Saul himself was
wounded. Fearing lest the Philistines
would torture him to death, he finally
suicided. A young Amalekite brought
David the news, telling that he had
dispatched King Saul at the latter's
request-probably, however, manufac-
turing this part to bring honor to him.
self. But David commanded him to
be put to death.
Realizing that the time had come to
move from the Philistine country, Da.
vid inquired of the Lord by the priest
and the ephod. The answer was that

Saul's son 1shbosheth had survived
and Abner, Saul's chief general, had
him anointed king Of Israel.
Finally Abner, angered with King
Ishbosheth, proposed to become Da
vid's vassal. King David appreciated
the proposition. doubtless considering
it the Lords will. However, the mat

 Coming on the heels of Carrizal the raid offering fresh evidence of Mex ican inability to protect the interna- tional boundary, seemed to add to the difficulties of the situation.
 Military authorities here tonight doubted that the marauders, who are believed to have been members of the stock thieves, known to have lair in the fastness of the Sierra Madres south of the New Mexico border, would be overtaken before they recrossed into Mexico. pointing out that the ranch is but four miles from the line.
 Officers of the American border patrol had been unable to learn tonight whether any of the cavalry detach . ments ordered in pursuit had crossed the. border because of the isolation ot the district. Conviction was also eX- (Contfnued on Page Three)
