T' Exploration* by Nevada Archeolo glsta Prove Truth of Piute Leg ends of Loat Cavern?Sealed Up by Nature. Kansas City. ? The archeologlcal department of the University of Ne vada has nearly completed the ex ploration of a cave In Nevada, sealed up by nature 3,000 years ago. It con tains relics of what is believed to be the ancient race from which the American Indians sprung, a race far older than the Axtdcs. Among the thing brought to light Is a skull de clared to be more than 5,000 years old certainly and possibly In existence several hundred thousand years ago. If these surmises are correct It Is older than the Plltdown skull, found In Kent, England. Along with the skull were found many relics of a prehistoric race In a remarkable state of preservation, be cause they have been hermetically kealed In nature's own preservatives. The first mention of this ancient civilization that Is remembered by white men dates back to 1844. when Oeneral Fremont led from California a little band of whites across a new tr^|l through the Rockies. He fol lowed the Humboldt river until he came to the shores of what Is now called Humboldt lake, a half mile east of the main Humboldt rangh of mountains, and a mile south of Love lock, Nev. in the region of the-lake he entered the land of the Piute, the chief of whom was Wlnnemucca. The trallmakera were met by the Indian chieftain with open arms. Oeneral Fremont and his party were guesU of the Piute band for many days. Familiarity with other tribes ? : 1 had taught Fremont a method of com munication by means of signs. He asked the Indian chief If he, In his great wisdom, could tell the white man whence came the red men?their origin. The aged chief by signs indi cated that the history of the Indians wer' back to the beginning of the world. It told how his ancestors had driven a whole nation into a huge cavern and sealed them there to pen lsh. ' "J *' When years later Chief Wlnnenrac ca had learned the white man's tongue the Piute legends spread -among the pioneer miners and finally reached the ears of scientific men. At Wlnnemucca's death bis daughter Sarah became attached to the fam ilies of army officers, and through them the legends became public. Her granddaughter,. Sarah Wlnne mucca, was educated In a reserva tion school. Her Imagination fired by the legends of her people, she re peated them to her instructors, until finally Prof. J. C. Jones, chief of the archeologlcal department of the state university, determined to make a search tor the lost cave. The stories Indicated that it must be some where near the Humboldt lake ' Sa rah Wlnnemucca picked a spot as near as the legends could guide her, from which point the scientists con ducted their search successfully.

HELLERS. Actio* Director of Sunday School Course. Th<e Moody Bible Institute. Chicago. 111.) LESSON FOR MAY 2 SAUL TRIES TO KILL DAVILI.J LESSON TEXT?I Samuel OOLDJCN TEXT?Whoso putinh his trust la the Lord aball ha sate.? l'rov ?:?. Although anointed by Samuel, vic torious In amis and promoted at court. David was many years In reaching his throne. At first both codrt and army did him honor (ch. 18:1), yet he con ducted himself with great modesty <18:18, 23). He also obeyed the king explicitly though he knew fully that he was the God-appointed succeeaor of Saul. Escapes pa wonderful and aa providential as David's occur In the lives of most of us if we jould but know them. I. David and Jonathan, w. 1-3. The story of the love of David and Jona than la a claaale. With such cloae family relations and a son-in-law so successful at arms it la strange that Saul's anger should vent Itself upon David. At first Saul was much at tached to David but the admiration of the people for David aroused his Jeal ousy, (ch. 18:?) and Jealousy Is pecu liarly a soldier's disease. The slave of Jealousy never has peace. As sin and disobedience developed In his life Saul became subject to Ota of Insane rage during one of which, as David played upon his harp and endeavored to quiet the monarch's spirit, he hurled' a Javelin, which served as his scepter, at the harpist (ch 19:10) Saul felt that David was divlnaly protected and he knew that God had departed from his own lire (15:28;' 1?:14). Saul did not keep his grief and rage to himself for Jonathan and the nation alike knew all about It. Jonathan gladly accepted God's decree, willingly gave up his rights In the kingdom yet he was loysl to his father. It la a tender and touching story of Jonathan's love for his friend David, and at the same time his loyalty to -bis father Saul. He "delighted much In David" It. J), gave full, explicit warning to David, and also sought to Intercede with Saul II, Saul and Jonathan, w. 4-7. It took courage and self-sacriflce on Jonathan's part to speak on behalf of David. Prudence and principle are combined In Jonathan's plea. Those who envy Include In their hate and anger all who speak kindly In behalf of their enemy. But Jonathan s argu ment (rv. 4. 5) la unanswerable. David had not sinned against Saul: It was Jehovah who "wrought a great salvation for all Israel" on the day David took his life In his hand and overcame Goliath Jonathan pleads for God as well as for bis friend He called to Saul's memory his former Joy at seeing Jehovah's victory through David and for the time being Saul was persuaded (v. () and made another of those Impetuous promises which proved so fleeting. Ushered by Jonathan (Matt. 5:9) David returned to Saul's presence, entered once more upon the discharge of his duties and desisted only when he saw that his presence only aggravated the king and that he was'hselesslv exposing his life In Ssul's presence David was faith ful to God and to God's anointed king III. Mlchal and David, w. 9-12. Saul's hatred was too deep to be per manently overcome. David went out and won a great victory over the Phi listines and as he followed his courtly duty, Saul burst out with a fresh at tack (w. 8. 9). David had married Mlchal when about twenty-one years of age and Saul's attacks occurred dur ing the next three years. The evil spirit mentioned was a demon (18:10: AcU 16:1?-18: Mark 1:28-24), a mes senger of Satan permitted by God for Saul's discipline (II Cor. 12:7). God permits evil to come upon men not to tempt them?solicit them to do wrong ?but-4<x bring them to repentance or to refine them as pure gold Thus evil may be said to do God* 'work (ch. 4:1) "to be sent from Jehovah." On the other hand If men will not have the good spirit, the spirit of truth, then God gives them over to error and evil'spirits (II Thess. 2:10 12). Doubtless David was on his guard for when his insanity caused Saul again to attack him he fled (v: 10). Messengers were at once dis patched to his house (vT>ll) and Mlchal lowered David frotrf'a window at some ungusrded point, and as the spies escaped from Jericho, and Paul from Damascus, so he escaped from his dangerous position. There are, suggestions In the Psalms which would Indicate his gTlef over these experiences. Michel's stratagem (vv. 13-171 was "one not necessarily sanctioned by God, though he bore s^tth It for It oc curred at that 'time of Ignorance' which 'God overlooked. Ederaheltn IV. Summary. All who envy are murderers at heart (Matt. 27:18: I John 8:12. 15). The present day murderers hurl their javelins of slander, lying and vituperation against the reputa tion of the men w6om they hate. Or else they hurl unfair and unjust busi ness methods at others that they may perpetuate their power or else build themselves up upon the ruins of those whom they envy. Sanl missed David but he was no, less a murderer. Satan always overshoots the mark when he assails one of God's anointed, chosen ones. Saul could not harm David though he wished to ever so much (Pa. 37:82, 33: Isa. 54:17: Luke 4:30: 10:39). Saul's hatred stopped not even at the threshold of David's house but Invaded the sacred precincts of his borne. Envy Is blind. It assails all that" g man has, spares none with whom he Is connected and colors ev ery act and relation of life even to the relations of father and child. Saul was frustrated by his own children. Jmiathan and Mlchal David's danger was Imminent, hence his speedy es cape. t'' * GERMANS IN THE EAST PRUSSIAN SNOWS i.?fias* t li Below, General von Bulow (In cap at left) holding a consultation with hla staff officers In East Prussia.
