T.KPFON" TEXT-I R.imurl l:17-10:L (Ji)l.HKN TEXT-l'car Coil, liunor the kiiitf.-I 1'ifUT 2:17. Eccaimo of the acts of Samuel the people petitioned for a king (eh. 8:5). They are told plainly what to expect if a king is set in authority (ch. 8:19). God, however, granted their petition and spoku "in the ear" of Samuol, say ing, "I will send thee a man," telling him of the work whkh this man is to undertake (ch. 9:15, 16). I. "Samuel Saw Saul" vv. 17-21. Saul i was a man to gaze at and to admire (ch. 9:2). His fruitless search for his father's esses lepds him to the city wherein Samuel was residing. There he is advised to consult the "mnu of God" about his difficulty a good sug gestion for us all. This experience (ch. 9:6-14) exhibits Samuel in a new .light. The word "seer" indicates "one who sees," one who sees the things God makes manifest In dreams (Num. 24:4-16). While the word is similar to 'the modern term "clairvoyant" yet the latter are not the successors of these Old Testament "seers" or "prophets." They are rather the successors of the false prophets (Jer. 17:14), and of those who dealt with familiar spirits (I Chron. 10:13-14; Iaa, 8: 19-20; 2 Kings 21:1, 2, 6). Saul evidently did not know Samuel (vv. 16-18). Samuel took Saul with him for the night to take hiB mind off his father's asses and to prepare him to receive the word from God. Christians take far too little time to withdraw them selves and take their restless minds off the things of time and sense to be still and hear the word of God. What were a few asses to Saul, to him "for whom oil that Is desirable in Israel" (v 20 R. V.)T Christians who are heirs to the heavenly kingdom ought not to set their affections on the poor possessions of earth (Col. 3:1, 2; 2 Cor. 4:1S). In response to Samuel's infor mation, Saul disclaims any greatness; indeed, ia he not from one of the least of the families of one of the smallest ot the tribes (v. 21). Such humility gave great promise for Saul's future usefulness. Such was the mental and spiritual attitude of the man whom God chose to be king (ch. 16:17). It was later, when pride and power had puffed him up, that the kingdom was taken away from him (ch. 15:23; 16:1; Luke 14:11; Hefa. 13:1.- II. "bair.ue Tofck 3u!'' vv. 22-2'-Saul was then led into iiiu tutLt chan: ber and placed in the chief seat. Read our Lord's parable found in Luke 14:7-11. Samuel then bade the cook bring the thigh, which was a choice piece of meat especially reserved for those thus honored (Ezek. 24:4). Such a portion belonged to the priest (Lev. 7:32). That which did not belong up on the altar Saul was to eul (v. 24). Samuel and Saul may have had the preference and eaten before the other guests (v. 13), and Saul is made ac quainted with the special honor con ferred upon hira. Following the feast, they return to Samuel's home, where Sa ;t Is conducted to a couch upon the fiat housetop (Acts 10:9). Here Sam uel .had private converse with Saul (v. 25 R. V.). What that converse may&ave been we know not, but we are reminded of one such nocturnal conversation which .gave to the world God's most precious summary of b,r love (John 3:1-16). Samuel poured oil upon Saul's head Prophets, priests, kings and cleansed l-3ora-erj so nnc a typo of tha anointiuy; by the ttci spit'it (i luiis 39:15, If; Lev. 8:12, 14:2, 10-18; Isa. t.l:l; I jTohn 2:2i .

Kis ear is always open to the cry of his people. Even though they Lad sinnsd, and their sorrow v. as because of lUesr own disobedience, yet God ntvarded their alliic-tion (Ps. 106:43, 44). On?y God's anointed oiis can save (Isa. 61:1-3). Saul's .selected ta: K Bits to save Israel out of the Jiands of the I'hilis tims (See Luke 1:(J-71). God's rye seea the ojipressioi of mackind and his ear is always open to tl.e cry of the jioor and needy; of innocent chil dren suffering because of the sins of parents ; of nu?n defrauded of justice.

Fill their lives with sweetness. Speak approv ing, cheering words while their ears can hear them and while their hearts can be thrilled and made happier by them; the kind things you mean to say when they are gone, say before they go. The flowers you mean to send for their coffins, send to bright en and sweeten their homes before they leave them, "If my friends have alabaster box es laid away, full of fragrant per fumes of sympathy and affection, which they intended to break over my dead body, I would rather they would bring them out in my weary and troubled hours, and open them; that I would rather have a plain cof fin without a flower, a funeral with out an eulogy, than a life without the sweetness of love and sympathy. "Let us learn to annoint our friends beforehand for their burial. Post mortem kindness does not cheer the troubled spirit. Flowers on the oof fin cast no- fragrance backward ever life's weary way. Selected. , i , STATE DEBTS Toward the close of the late &m paign our .Republican friends attempt ed to make out a case against North Carolina as a debt-burdened state, for which condition Democratic misman agement was charged. From figures supplied by the State Treasurer, The Observer satisfactory laid the charge, r f t no ernes some facts from the United States Census Bureau furnish ing additional support to the state ment made by this paper. The eVbt of North Carolina is placed at $8,058, 430, or a per capita of $3.64. The per capita in a number of other States is less, but it is larger in a still great er number. The State with the least per capita debt is Oregon, where it is only four cents. Massachusetts tops the list with a per capita of $22.78. Nearly al). the New England States, being heavy borrowers, have large debts. Virginia has the highest per capita of any Southern State $10.48. The per capita in Texas is only $1.14. In South Carolina it is practically th same as in North Carolina, th dif ference being 44 cents in favor of tills State. The census report indicates that all the Southern States are either reducing their debts, or holding them down, no increases having been no ted. And the Southern States are aM in the hands of Democratic Adminis trations. It seems to be true that whenever it comes to a show-down on State' Government, either in the North East, West or South, the Democrats make good. Charlotte Observer. i d a a s.
