THE MAKING OF A KING.

If our Semi-Weekly readers will turn
to Book of First Samuel I'm the Bible
and read the 10th and 18th chapters l
feel sure they will find increasing inter-
est i'm the subject of king making. We
have such clear exposition Of what kings
are doing over in Europe that the story
Of SaUrs early life will teach as a whole
some lesson. Saul was a good boy when
his father sent him to find some runa-
way mules and he was gone so long that
his father "sorrowed after his son" and
forgot about the missing asses. And
Saul was elected of God to be the king
of the Children of Israel after these
children grew weary of trying to run
the government for themselves Samuel
the prophet forewarned them of what
the king would do to them. He ruled
Israel all the days of his life and he
ruled them wisely and. well, but the
Israelites became tired of the ruling of
Samuel and plead for a king. At that
time there were three hundred and six
ty thousand trained soldiers in Israel.
They were equipped for war and could
be called into battle on a days notice.
II is irresistibly conclusive that the
aforesaid children were thirsting fol
war. Samuel was not warlike. They
said. "Give US a king" So Saul was chos-
ell. The king was selected from the
smallest of the tribes, Benjamin. 1t was
the midget of the family, and remarka-
sble for no deeds of valor, but Saul was
fine specimen of manly vigor and his
father trusted him on his farming oper-
ations. Nobody was more surprised than
Saul when Samuel poured oil on his head
and told him of the hOnors in store for
him. Saul was timid about telling of
the oil ana the kingship Until he was
crowned king by shouting multitude on
4 battlefield he was modest to a degree
and the young man was actually startled
to hear the masses cry out, "God save
the king" You can read for yourselves
how he acted after the kingdom was
turned over to him.
Another touching story is related of
old Samuel when he asked the multi
tude some searching questions as to
his own record: Whose OK have taken ?
Whose ass have 1 taken? Whom have l
wronged or defamed? Whom have /
oppressed, and where's the bride l have
ever taken"' ETC., etc. They publicly
cleared the old prophet of all wrong
doing, but they clamored still for a king!
The war in Europe where millions
have been killed and wounded within two
yeras shows us what kings can do to
their subjects. Yet the world of mankind
shouts for a king.

GERMANS PREPARE ATTACK

PARIS Oct % - The intensity of the artillery fire which the Germans have inauguated at Ancre the north bank of the Somme indicates that they now pre- pairing to make terrific assault for the purpose of trying to remedy situation which is daily becoming more crt cal The kaiser is reported be at Baupaue personally directing the movements of the troops and exhortng the commanders to greater efforts Near Baches and Aban court the French and German artillery is battering away at terrible rate but the infantry is inactive. As matters look now military experts express the belief that the Ger mans will deliver their attack Perronne in the hope that success at that point will compel the French and British who have been advancing north to fall back for the protection of their line of retreat This would destroy the allied wedge that has been driven in by much loss ot life and material but it is known that full care has been taken to guard against such a contingency.
