history was a theocracy god himself was her king who re- veaied his will through his prop hets and through the inspired word as committed to moses and his successors it was when the priest hood had broken down and even the prophetic office failed in a mea sure that the people demanded a king in order that they might be more like the nations surrounding them they were out of touch with god and so they wanted an arm of flesh on which to lean in response to their insistent plea god gave them saul after warning them through samuel of what his reign would mean but nothing could dis suade or turn them aside from their determination to have a leader who could rule over them and command their armies in time of war saul was their choice as well as gods in vociferously acclaiming him their king they were only carry ing out what he had decreed little as they realized it long years after ward he declared through hosea 1 gave thee a king in mine anger and took him away in my wrath hos 1311 saul seemed at first to be an ideal choice lowly yet brave determined yet subject to the word of the lord but he soon ceased to be little in his own eyes 1 sam 15 17 and became arrogant disobedient to god and insanely jealous of others chap 189 for this god set him aside after repeated warnings chap 16 1 and he ended his unhappy reign when he fell in battle on mount gilboa chap 31 with him perish ed

pounds during the time beet sugar production was rising in canada it was in the process of falling in the united kingdom and the united stales all the sugar we produce goes into the world pool and is divided equally that means we cannot get more sugar than our allocation by simply turning out more beel sugar though naturally any increase we achieve is of bene fit to all in 1915 we had available for use 920 million pounds of refined sugar as against 985 million pounds in 1911 each year the demand for sugar with increases in population is going up in 1910 before the period of sugar devastation got under way we had 1217 million pounds of sugar for consumption although the 19351939 average was 99g million pounds during 1915 the overall sugar target for individual usage in the three countries was set al 70s pounds but each nation is free to distribute that amount as it sees fit amongst consumers restaurants industries and institutions there fore there- may be and often are differences in the amounts granted to different types of users in different countries no sugar goes to breweries or distilleries in canada although a small amount is allocated to manu facturers of grape wine stories of sugar surpluses circu late from time to time these stories should be weighed in the light of circumstances very often a years production of sugar may be turned out in a relatively short lime and is

three months of the year furthermore as much sugar as possible is brought into canada be fore water transportation closes because of the low haulage cost and this sugar must be stored for monthly consumption the claim has been made that there is plenty of sugar in java the quantity is uncertain and much of it has deteriorated during the years it has been stored it has been suggested canada should buy sugar from peru should we do so we would not be allowed any more sugar per year than our allocation permits and at presents prices we would have to pay double what we are paying suits for

they were putting them selves by insisting on a king that they might be like the nations around them v 5 verse 12 he will appoint him captains to make his instru ments of war a king without a great standing army is almost un thinkable they must expect to be regimented and put as a people at the disposal of the monarch they clamored for verse 13 he will take your daughters to be confectionaries the kings authority would be exended even unto thei- homes so that their daughters would be at his disposal versell he will take your fields and your vineyards the king would look upon the whole land including the homes and farms of the people as belonging to him because he represented the state in his own person verse 15 he will take the tenth and give to his officers and lo his servants by heavy tax ation in order to maintain a great body of officials he would make thr- lives of the people burdensome verse 16- he will take your goodliest young men and put them to his work the king of their choosing would not hestiate to conscript their finest young men together with servants of both sexes and employ them in what ever he considered to be of advan tage to himself verse 17 ye shali be his ser vants they would surrender the liberty that they enjoyed under god and become bondmen prac tically to the king how frequently has this been the case in various lands where arbitrary rule has come into effect verse is ye shall cry out in that day and the lord will not hear you when the conditions depicted by samuel actually came to pass israel would plead with the lord for relife but h3 would leave them to he results of their folly in rejecting him as their king and insisting upon a man to fill that office verse 19 nay but we will have a king swayed by selfwill the people refused to obey the voice of samuel but declared they would go on as they had planned verse 20 that we also may be like all the nations this was the very thing god would have pre served them from he had said the people shall dwell alone and shall not be reckoned among the nations num 239 it is always a sad mistake when the separated people of god seek to copy the ways of those about them who do not know the lord verse 21 samuel rehearsed them in the ears of the lord un moved by selfinterest but deeply concerned because of israels defec tion samuel took it all to god in prayer verse 22 the lord said herken unto their voice and make them a king when people insist on having their own way god often allows them to do as- they desired in order that they may learn by experience the folly of selfwill

insubordination and back sliding they asked for a king in order that they might be like the nations round about them this was the very thing god had warned them against from the beginning but when they asserted their will he complied with their wishes not because it was according to his desire but because of his indigna tion at their disobedience to his will he gave them saul that they might learn the folly of turning away from a theocracy to a human monarchy in saul himself we see at first a man after the flesh at his very best but he soon degenerated into a proud selfish person in whom
