 City Hall Guarded
 The muddled mayoralty situation today tended to ease the tension in another quarter. Last night Duvall locked the doors Of the City hall, an unusual procedu dure, and called detail of policemen to guard the doors.

Tomorrow's Sunday School Lesson
DAVID AND
GOLIATH
BY Rev. Edward Taber

a splendid audacity that was
destined to make him a general
greater than Saul.
The story of the youthful
David's triumph over the giant
Philistine, Goliath of Gath, is too
well known to need repetition in
detail. It represented. the first
spectacular achievement of a life
that was destined to bring to
Israel her greatest glory. The
incidents in that achievement are
in brief outlined as follows:
Goliath, q giant of the Philis-
tine army, had challenged the
lsraelites to send forth a cham
pion to meet him in mortal COM
bat. The challenge went I'M
answered for several days. Ter
ror was in the camp of the army
of Israel. There was none so
brave as to risk a fight with
this huge Philistine. The youth
full David came to the camp.
The young man did not hesitate
to make some very pertinent re-
marks about the failure to &C.
cept the challenge. He announced
that he himself would go forth
to fight. His statement was at
first ridiculed, but it was soon
seen that he meant what he said.
Saul urged the young man to
wear the kings armor. This
David refused to do. He would
fight in the way he knew best,
and with weapons with which he
was familiar. He carried to bat
tie a stick, a slingshot and five
smooth stones. The fight was
short and decisive. A well d.
rected stone stunned the giant,
and he fell to the ground. David
rushed upon him, and with
Goliath's own sword cut off the
giants head.
Thus did David achieve that
which we would today call ma
tional recognition. 1t was a
daring exploit, but one that was
well planned and well executed.
AS has often happened since,
blind strength was defeated by
faith, intelligence and courage.
