woods and shoot his own.
As for taste, we'll, these
domesticated turkeys are poor
fare beside their wild cousins.
BEST eating on earth," the
judge says.
Turkey seasons now on in
Virginia and West Virginia and
there's good hunting as close as
Fairfax County, but don't think
it's easy.
Wary Bird
In fact, Judge Duncan calls
turkeys the wariest Of game.
Their eyes are keener, hearing
sharper and as for making
tracks. a running gobbler can
outdistance a deer.
Now Judge Duncan is a tur-
key hunter from way back, 80
years or more. A civil and po-
lice Judge for 81 years, he goes
whenever he can get away from
his post on President Eisen-
hower's Subversive Activities
Control Board.
Last year at this time he had
a fine turkey for the table This
year he wasn't so fortunate,
possibly because this writer had
a nagging cough. Here's the
story, but first let's explain
about turkeys.
Truly American
The wild turkey is truly
American. now regarded as the
only native representative of
the pheasant family. The COB
bier is indeed regal, growing 4
feet long with plumage of iri-
descent opper-bronze. The hen
Is smaller with duller plumage.
The turkey is a bird of the
deep woods or borders of
swamplands in Virginia, West
Virginia and Maryland.
The Maryland season has
ended but in Virginia it con-
tinueS through January IS and
IN West Virginia, January 2.
Bag limit in Virginia is one per
day and two per season while
West Virginia limits the kill to
one per season. Many counties
IN both states are closed to
hunting, so check the regula-
tionS.
Good Turkey Dog Rare
Most generally turkeys are
hunted with dogs and a good
turkey dog is rare. Judge Dun
can had one once, a pointer
named Sport that was equally
adept at hunting turkeys or
quail.
The dog finds and fushes a
flock of turkeys, scattering
them in all directions. There
upon, the hunters build a small
blind of logs or brush, camou-
f1aging it to blend with the sur
roundings.
Then they call in the dog and
Hit down to wait. After an hour
or so, they begin calling the
turkeys. Old timers make their
calls from the wing bone of a
turkey and sniff at newfangled
devices.
These are merely sounding
boxes with chalk or slate, the
rubbing Of which produces the
peculiar turk, turk, turk" notes
Of a gobbler.
Uses Wing Bone
Judge Duncan sticks to the
wing bone, followed out and
with one end cut off as a
mouthpiece. At the other end,
a piece of rubber tubing
leads to a horn made from a
telephone operators mouth
piece.
After initiating the assembly
calls OF a turkey for awhile, the
lucky hunters may get two or
three birds because turkeys
have a habit of returning to
the point from which they were
scattered.
ShotgunS are used with No 2
or No. 4 shot in super-x or
bagnum grade.
We first met the Judge a
year ago while we were deer
hunting at Bath Alum, Clinton

estate near Warm Springs, Va.
Duncan had Just bagged a |

SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
BY Rev. Geo. A. Harper
511 Avenue G.,
Greenwood, Miss.

SAMUEL AS JUDGE - l
Samuel 3:19-21; 7 Print / Sam
uel 1916.
MEMORY SELECTION -
God forbid that | should sin
against the Lord in ceasing to
pray for you: but will teach
you the good and the right
way. Samuel 1929. The prop
het Samuel considered prayer
1essness as a sin. We wish that
every Christian could feel as
did Samuel and pray one for
another. Two New Testament
commandments are to pray
without ceasing," and pray
one for another" the Israel
ties asked Samuel to pray for
them at that time, and Samuel
promised to continue his pray
er for them and not to cease as
long as he lived. 1t is we'll to
pray for ourselves daily, for
the church, even the body of
Christ, for Israel, for govern
mental leaders and for sinners
in general.
SAMUEL ASSEMBLIES IS
RAEL AT MIZPEH:
And Samuel said, Gather all
Israel to Mizpeh, and | will
pray for you unto the Lord
When Samuel reached the age
of responsibility he took over
the affairs of the country and
one of the first acts was to call
for a national gathering at
Mizpeh. The purpose of such
a meeting was to offer prayer
unto God for the people as a
whole, for there had been great
neglect of the religious inter
est of the people during the
time of Eli and in subsequent
days. 'And they gathered to-
gether to Mizpeh, and drew
water, and poured it out before
the Lord, and tasted on that
day, and said there; We have
sinned against the Lord. And
Samuel judged the children OF
Israel in MiZpeh" - The act
of pouring out water before
the. Lord was an essential part
of worship among the He
brews. Sometimes they used
other liquids such as oil or
wine, especially in offering
sacrifice. In this case wine was
mostly used by being poured
upon the creature after it had
been killed. Fasting was also
a part of reverence and r0r'
ship. 1t was practiced on pari
Gus occasions, but Iii this case
it indicated the state of repen
lance into which Israel as {
people had entered as the re
suit Of tehir long years Of sir
against God.
THE PHILISTINES MOB
lLIZE FOR WAR:

Mizpeh, the lords of the Philis-
tines went up against Israel.
And when the children of Is
rael heard it, they were afraid
of the Philistines" = When Is
rael gathered at Mizpeh to
pray the Philistines thought
they were mobilizing for war,
for there had been fightingS
between these two peoples
with Israel getting the worse
of the warfare most of the
time. The Israelites were
frightened when they heard
that the lords of the Philis-
tines were preparing for war
against them, for they knew
they had but little chance in
battle against these people
who were better equipped and
better organized for war than
the Israelites. "And the chill.
dren of Israel said to Samuel,
Cease not to cry unto the Lord
our God for us, that he will
save us out of the hand OF
the PhilistineS"
There was definite evidence
Of religious progress in the
nation under the leadership
and influence of Samuel. He
had trained the Israelites to
rely upon the Lord instead OF
solely upon themselves in diff
ficult times. "And Samuel took
a sucking lamb, and offered il
for burnt offering wholly
unit the Lord: and Samuel
cried unto the Lord for Israel
and the Lord heard him"
He knew that God was ISraefs
only salvation at a time like
this, but his task would have
been made extremely difficult
in interceding for them had
they not been willing and anXi
Gus to commit themselves into
the hand of the Lord for then
deliverance and salvation.
"And as Samuel was offer
ing up the burnt offering, the
PhilistineS drew near to battle
against Israel: but the Lore
Numbered with a great thun
Ger on that day upon the Phil
istines, and discounted them
and they were smitten before
Israel" The Philistine:
launched the attack and STRUCK
the first blow as a safety mea
sure while the 1sraelites were
yet engaged in religious wor
ship, and the Lord struck bach
in Israefs stead and threw the
Phlistines off balance. Israe
had faith in the prayers O.
Samuel.
ISRAEL DEFEATS TIKI
PHILISTINES:
And the men of Israel wenr
out of Mizpeh, and pursued tht
Philistines, and smote them
until they came under Beth
car" When the Philistine!
had been routed by the inter
ventior OF the Lord, the mei
of Israel left the rest of thu
congregation of Israel at wor
ship and pursued the feelin,

host of would-be invaders.
"Then Samuel took a stone,
and set it between Mizpeh and
Shen, and called the name of
it Ebenezer, saying, Hitherto
hath the Lord helped u.s." =
EbeneZer means 1.-The TOOTH"
and was probably a sharp
point as the name suggests.
Ebenezer for the "stone of
the help" and is so called
because Samuel intended for
the stone to bear testimony
to the help which God had
given Israel and to Israel's
humble gratitude for having
been saved by him. $50 the
Philitsines were subdued, and
they came no more into the
coast of Israel: and the hand
Of the Lord was against the
Philistines ali the days of
Samuel" - There is no further
mention made of warfare be-
tween Israel and the Philis-
tines until the time of Saul
as king over Israel. "And the
cities which the Philistines had
taken from Israel were restor-
ed to Israel, from Enron even
unto Gath; and the coasts
thereof did Israel deliver out
of the hands of the Philistines,
and there was peace between
Israel and the Amorites" :.
The Amorites were also
formidable enemies of Israel
III times past, but during the
time of Samuel they we're at
peace with Israel.
SAMUEL JUDGES ISRAEL:
And Samuel Judged Israel
all the days of his life.
Samuel was not deposed from
his position of authority but
gave it up because of the pres
sure of declining years and
because of the insistence of
the people that they be given
a king like other people. ':And
he went from year to year
in circuit to Bethel, and Gilgal,
and Mizpeh, and judged Is
rael in all those places" -.
Apparently Samuel was the
only judge who went from
place to place to hold court in
the land. Those who had pre-
ceded him had some perman-
ent place of abode and judged
the people from there.
PRACTICAL POINTS ON
THE LESSON:
Gods ordained method of
saving people is through the
foolishness of preaching the
Word of God. In order for
the preaching of the gospel
to be effective, the ministry
needs To be anointed with the
Spirit. The Lord calls for a
pure worship and a separated
life. Separation leads to pur-
ity and purity leads to power.
All the people gathered them
selves together to Samuel in
Mizpeh. They hearkened to
| the preaching of Samuel and
put the idols away, then took
their rightful attitude before
the Lord. The offering of this
lamb prefigured Christ and
Calvary, assuring us there is
salvation and deliverance in a
crucified and risen Christ.
