Place.â€" Kirlathjearliu waa lo- cated about seven and onebait miles troni Jerusalem; Mizpah was In the tribe of Benjamin, and may be v/liat is now known as Mount Scopus, immediately north of Jeru- salem; Ejeuezer was also a few miles north of Jerusalem, between the cities of Mizpah and Shen, though we do not know its exact location. 3. Aiii: Samuel. Where had Samuel been all of these years, and what had he been doing? How we should like to know deflnitelyl Already his fame as a prophet had spread throughout the land, and the Israelites, though depressed, were Inclined to listen to his words more than to the words of any other leader of their day. Levite, Nazirite, prophet, he pos- sessed every qualification for at- tracting respect and acting as teacher. A life of holiness and self-denial, consistent in every par- ticular, well known to all Israel, carried with it an authority that could not be acknowledged by ev- ery real Israelite. Spake unto all the bouse of Israel, saying. If ye do return unto Jehovah with all your heart, then put away the for- eign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts unto Jehovah and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of ihe PBilistines. At Ra- mah, where his influence was great- est, he raised an altar and per- formed the worship of Jehovah with such faithful Israelites as he could find to join him. Steadily and warily he won his way into the hearts of his countrymen. With unwearied zeal he went up and dowu among them from one end of the land to the other reproving, rebuking, exhorting. He recalled to mind their ancient glory, infused into their hearts tha long-forgotten ideas so familiar to their fore- fathers â€" the special providence that watched over them, the guid- onca exercised, the prosperity con- sequent upon obedience, the pun- ishment that followed the infringe- ment of divine commands. Paganism Put Away 4. Then the chiidren of Israel did put away Baalim and the Ashtar- oth and served Jehovah only. It is a great day for any family, for any man, for any nation, when strange gods, false deities, idols of eve;-y kind, -are definitely put away. 5. And Samuel said, Gather all Is- rael to Mizpah, and I will pray for you unio Jehovah. "Mizpah" means watch-lower, and was the meeting- place of the national assembly. It was located in the tribe of Benja- min. 6. And they gathered together to Mizpah. And drew water, and pour- ed it out before Jeohvah, and fast- ed on that day, and said there, Wo have sinner against Jehovah. And Samuel judged the children of Is- rael in Mizpah. The pouring forth of water may have implied that they poured from their full hearts fruits of peni- tence and tears; that they desired by the heaviness of their grief to wash their land free from the ac- cumulated evil of the past years. Here is probably the first time la twenty years that Israel made a public confession of her sin. Defeat of the Philistines 7. And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the childreu of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines. S. .â- Vnd the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto Je- hovah our God for us, that he will sa*e us out of the hand of the Philistines. 9. And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt-offering unto Jehovah: and Samuel cried unto Jehovah for Israel; and Jehovah answered him. How altogether different is the condition of Israel now from what it was twenty years before this when they suffered defeat at the hands of the Philistines! Then they had only the symbol of God's gracious presence, now they had the reality. Then their spiritual guides were the wicked Hophnl and Phinehas; now their guide was holy Samuel. 10. And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philis- This Curious World % William rguson rr IS TO na/rjte; CHECKS.. , PdfeLESSThANI HAVING NO VOCA,L CORDS THEIR ONl_V VOICE IS A mSS, CAUSEO BV AIR.

Waring plans to use youthful college glee clubs or other similar semi-ama- teur experienced voices. Arias from operas as well as the best in semi-classic and popular f!eld will constitute the basis of this new male choir singing. TOSCANINI TO CONDUCT Comprising one of the most complete schedules in the history of Metropolitan Opera, Great Plays and the NBC Symphony Or- chestra, Arturo Toscanini will di- rect 12 of the' orchestra series which begins October 15th. WALTER DAMROSCH BACK The famous XBC "Music Ap- preciation Hour" will be present- ed for the 11th season under the direction of music counsellor Wal- ter Damrosch. METROPOLITAN OPERA For the eighth consecutive year, radio will again afford listeners the opportunity of enjoying the greatest music dramas right in their own homes. Each Saturday the NBC Networks will carry a complete performance by the world's outstanding artists, direct from the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House. "BANDWAGON" FOR DANCERS From the smooth strains of Guy Lombardo to the swing arrange- ments of Benny Goodman, a live- ly new NBC Red Network program starts Sunday, September 4th. Other big names for this series in- cludes Lopez, Duchin, Bernie, Dor- sey and Kemp, thus giving a com- plete picture to listeners of to- day's popular music â€" Hot, Sweet and in between. This replaces the "Interesting Neighbors" program. "PIPE FOR BERGEN" No matter where Bergen and Charlie McCarthy spend their va- cation late this month, NBC "Mikemen" will be there with a microphone and "Pipe" him (as they call it) into his usual Sunday night broadcast. NEW RADIO SETS The latest contribution to "Mag- ic of Radio" is the spreading out of short-wave bands so that what previously had to be cramped in- to two bands has now been ex- tended to five channels â€" thus pre- venting overlapping of stations â€" making short-wave reception as easy to tune in an local reception. This is a feature of the new 1939 DeForest Crosley, Music Master, Symphony Series. tines drew near to battle against Israel ; but Jehovah thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines and discomfit- ed them; and they were smitten down before Israel. The word here translated "discomfited" expresses the idea of a confusion resulting from suddsn panic. 11. And the men of Isratl went out of Mizpah, and pursued the Philistines, and smote them, until they came under Beth-car. "Stone of Help" 12. Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying. Hitherto hath Jehovah helped us. The exact lo- cation of Ebenezer, the word mean- ing "the stone of help," is not known, but it must have been situ- ated a few miles north of Jerusa- lem between the cities of Mizpah and Shen. Ebenezer was the exact place, where, twenty years before, Israel had suffered defeat at the loss of the ark. 1.3. So the Philistines were sub- dued, and they came no more with- in the border of Israel: and the hand •' Jehovah was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel. From this time Samuel was cer- tainly without any question the su- preme leader of Israel, and so he continued to be down to the time of his death. There is a lesson here for every child of God ; when We really turn to God in confession, willing to yield to him, and he wins a victory tor us in our life, as he absolutely can on every occasion, we not only recover all the terri- tory in our life which had been lost to the eneni". but we ?ain even more. A Wo.iderful Leader Samuel is worthy to stand at the side of Moses. It is not without reason that he has been regarded as lu diguity and importance occu- pying the position of a second Moses in relation to the people. In his exhortations and warnings the Ueuteronomic discourses of Moses are reflected and repeated. He de- livers the nation from the hand of the Philistines, as Moses from Pha- raoh and the Egyptians, and opens up for them a new national era of progress and order under the rule of the kings whom they have de- sired. Claims Crime Is "Necessary" Psychologist Says It Keeps The World Away From Savagery â€" Moral Acts Those in Ac- cord With Public Welfare A prominent psychologist as- .serted last week if there were no law breakers and all laws were obeyed the world would revert to savagery. In the law-breaking class he put the Christian marytrs. The psychologist â€" Dr. Knight Dunlap, professor of psychology at the U^niversity of California at Los Angeles â€" championed the "necessity" of crime in an article for the forthcoming (September) issue of the California Monthly, publication of the University of California's alumni. Some Laws Are Wrong Dr. Dunlap argued that there was nothing really wrong about violating a "bad" law and that the "crime" involved might even bene- fit society in the end by contribut- ing to the elimination of the im- proper statute. "If we assume that it is one's duty to promote public welfare and to avoid acts against public welfare," he said, "we can hardly avoid the conclusion that under certain circumstances it is one's duty to commit crime. This situa- tion arises because there are laws which really are detrimental to public welfare."

Says the King Coming in 1939 To Canada and U. S. â€" Liver- pool Paper Declares Trip 'Almost Certainty' The Liverpool Post in its London letter last week said the King and Queen will "almost certainly" visit Canada and the United States dur- ing 1939, although no plans have yet been discussed and no Invita- tions issued. It was understood, the column said, that Lord Tweedsmuir, Gov- ernor-General of Canada, mention- ed unofficially the possibility of a visit though an invitation from Canada would come through the prime minister. Will Make Arrangeinents The column added that Lord Stanley, dominions secretary might discuss arrangements with Prime Miniser Mackenzie King. At Ottawa, Mr. King recently said the King needed no invitation Jo visit the Dominion. Canada al- ways stood ready to welcome its sovereign. Negroes Propose African Homeland Would Ask Gifts of Territory From France and England â€" Liberia as Nucleus A demand that the British Gor- ernnient act to improve the social and economic lot of the negroes of the West Indies was contained in a resolution passed at the final ses- sion of the convention of the Uni- versal Negro Improvement .\ssocla- tion in Toronto last week. The resolution pointed out that IS-IS was the 100th anniversary of the West Indian negroes, and call- ed on British authorities to rescue them from what it termed wretched economic conditions.

They re- elected Marcus Garvey of London, Eng., President-General, and Miss Ethel Collins of New York City, Secretary. Thomas Harvey o£ Philadelphia, was elected Chancel- lor. Ultimate objectives of the asso- ciation is the setting up of a home- land for the negroes of the world in Africa, with the present negro State of Liberia forming the nu- cleus to which would be added ter- ritorial gifts from France and Eng- land. How Daylight Saving Began Was Adopted Generally in Eu- rope During the Great Wau: â€" Called "Summer Tir^e'' Daylight saving was adopted in nearly every country in Europe in tho second year of the War, the idea b<;ing that, by getting people up an hour earlier, there would be a great saving in fuel for lighting ani' heating. In many countries, howe. ^iv it was drop- ped when war ended. "Summer time" is observed to- day in France, Belgium, the Neth- erlands, Spain and Portugal. Sum- mer time bills were also approved in Canada in 1U34, and in New Zealand in 1927. The United States seems unable to make up its mind. Some states use it, while others do not. He Originated It The idea was advocated long before the war by a Chelsea (England) builder, William Will- ett. Wiliett was himself an early riser, and used to ride in Petts Wood, Chislehurst, on summer mornings before coming to town for business. In the evenings h« It was while enjoying those recreations in 1907 that he con- ceived the idea of extending the hours of daylight available for leisure. He devoted himself to a campaign, and in 1908 Mr. (af- terwards Sir Sibert) Pearce iniro- ilueed a Bill in the British House of Commons to put the clock on by law. Xl first it was laughed at, but the Bill continued to come up year after year with increa.-^ing support. Wiliett never lived to see the .Act in force, for he .lied in March, 1915. .\ memorial to him now stands in Pelts \\'y.,rt Summer •;„„„ ^^^ introduced rST tlie first time on May 21, 1916, but it was not until 1,925 that the final and permanent -Act was passed. Nurses of Ireland threaten to organize and demand shorter hours, better pay, greater oppor- tunity for rest and recreation in off-time, and pensions after long service.
