be the king-elect. But the voice of the
Lord whispered: "Look not on his
countenance, or on the heighth of
his stature, because have refused
him: for the Lord seeth not as man
seeth; for man looketh on the out
ward appearance, but the Lord look
eth on the heart" Then in procession,
at the call of their father, the other
sons of Jesse passed in review before
Samuel-Abinadab, Shammah and the
rest-except the youngest, who kept
the sheep. Samuel refused to go on
with the feast until the last of Jesse's
sons, the youthful David, had been
summoned. When he was brought in
Samuel found that he was but lad,
ruddy and withal of beautiful coun-
tenance, and goodly to look to. In the
quiet of the prophets soul the Lord
said: "Arise, anoint him, for this is
he" Then Samuel took the horn Of
oil and anointed him in the midst of his
brethren; and the spirit of the Lord
came upon David from that day for
ward.
Having completed his mission at
Bethlehem, Samuel went to Ramah.
An evil spirit now seemed to possess
Saul; black melancholy filled his
thoughts so that he could no more
find peace. His servants, oppressed
by the fearful change in their master,
sought help. Some of them suggested
music as a means of dispelling his
gloom. By strange providence one Of
SauPs courtiers, who had heard David
play on his harp, recommended him
to be the kings minstrel. Messengers
were sent to Jesse with the royal COM
mand for David to appear at court.
| Whereupon Jesse ladened an ass with
bread, wine and a kid, and sent them
| by David to Saul. It was not long un-
til Saul greatly loved the bright young
minstrel and made him his armour
bearer. The king was so satisfied with
David's department and received such
comfort from his playing upon the
harp that he sent to Jesse, saying,
"Let David, 1 pray thee, stand before
me: for he hath found favor in my
sight"
And so it came to pass that
when the evil spirit was upon Saul
that David took his harp and played
melodies of haunting sweetness that
spoke of starry skies, and green fields
and quiet pools of cool water, and
lofty mountains that speak of divine
help. So as he listened, Saul was re-
freshed and was we'll, and the evil
spirit departed from him.

THE MARYLAND BIBLE
SOCIETY'S CORNER
"The Word OF Our God Shall
Stand Forever"
DAVID AND GOLIATH

The Philistines had gathered togeth-
er their armies in the province of
Judah, having pitched their camp be-
tween Shocah and Azekah. Saul and
the men of Israel were encamped on
the hillside, by the valley of Elah, and
were prepared for the expected as
sault of the enemy
1t was a custom in ancient warfare
to decide the conflict by a duel be-
tween two champions, the, repre-
sented by the vanquished warrior to
become slaves to the side represented
by the victor. ia
The Philistines had attithis time a
mighty warrior of gigantic, size, named
Goliath, of Gath, whose. height was
six cubits and spanEor nine and a
half feet. Him they chose as their
champion. Daily in full armor, helmet
coat of mail, greens, and massive
shield, with spear and sword of pro-
digious size and keenness, he came
forth from the hosts of Phihstia and
hurled his defiance at the frightened
Israelites. But no man DATED engage
him in single combat. \ 5
Goliath had a regular speech that he
The Republican., 1936-11-26

delighted to make in clarion tones
which echoed from mountain to noun
tain: "Why are ye come out to set
your battle in array? Am not I a
Philistine, and ye servants of Saul?
Choose you a man for you, and let
him come down to me. If ne be able
to fight with me, and kill me, then
will we be your servants; but if pre-
vail against him, and kill him, then
shall we be our servants, and serve us.
l defy the armies of Israel this day;
give me man that we may fight to-
gether." Only fear and dismay on
the part of Saul and his men answered
this challenge.
At length came a day when Jesse of
Bethlehem longed for a word from his
three sons who were serving with
Saul. Accordingly he called David
from the sheep fold, and sent him with
present of bread and parched corn
for his brothers, and ten cheeses for
their captain, with instructions to in
quire how the young men Jared.
David's arrival coincided with the
opening Of the battle Having let his
presents with the commissary officer,
he proceeded to inspect the camp, and,
mingling with the soldiers, sought out
his brethren. Just then Goliath's
mighty voice came across the valley
with it's accustomed challenge.
David was astonished that none of
the soldiers accepted it, and at once
offered to meet the giant. The king
demurred because of David's extreme
youth and unfamiliarity with the
weapons of war. But when the youth
persisted in his purpose to fight Co.
Hath, Saul offered him his armor. The
lad laid this aside, with the remark:
81 have not proved them"
However he had a weapon which he
had proved, his trusty sling. Choos-
ing five smooth stones from the brook,
he put them in his shepherds script,
and ran to meet his enemy. Replying
to Goliath's boast that he would give
David's flash unto the fowls of the
air and the beasts of the field David
answered: "Thou contest to me with
sword, spear, and shield; but come to
thee in the name of the Lord of hosts,
whom thou hast defied. This day will
the Lord deliver thee into mine hand
and I will smite thee"
So saying, he placed a stone in his
sling and threw it with such accuracy
that the giant, struck in the forehead,
crashed like a cedar of Lebanon to the
earth. Whereupon David ran forward,
drew Goliath's sword from its sheath
and severad the grizzled head which
he bore as trophy to Saul.

To- My car'll win again this year"
Doc Mckenzie of Eddington. Pa
the Eastern dirt track champion
who finished ninth here last year
in young Gil Pirrung's car, has been
entrusted with the assignment of
proving that Keliy's triumph was no
freak. Debonair Doc, smiling from
behind his mustache and goatee, is
not as optimistic as his boss, but is
confident that the chances are bet
ter than last year.
Doc, who drew the checkered flag
in 81 races last year, believes he is
lin form" He believes in luck
streaks, and, since he won his first
three starts in the East this year,
figures he has set sail on the right
track.
"And, say, about that haywire
special business" said Kelly, "that
car had a new OffenhauSer motor
and new chassis and there was no
bailing wire or tractor parts in it.
Wilbur Shaw had the only other
Offenhauser ir the race, and we
finished one-two.
Even after I won the race they
said it was junker and that my
lucky driving won it. And when
won the AAA championship with
the same car, they still said it.
Well, I'm going to show them that
I can stay in the pits and beat
them with my mechanical engineer
ing just like I did last year behind

Gas No Worry
The gas limitations? The little
italian who first climbed behind a

truck claims there is nothing to
cause alarm.
Petillo promised himself and fam
lily that if he ever won the Indi-
annapolis race and the national AAA
racing championship he would re-
tire. That is why Mckenzie has
been enlisted to pilot his car. Kelly
also is looking for a sponsor.
