How Thermopylae Was Fought
In a class of Greek history at an
Indianapolis school recently, a youth
was asked to tell the story of the
battle of Thermopylae.
The lad had unusual descriptive
ability, and he proceeded Into the
story with .great zest. None of the
detail was left out. The heroic stand
was described as few others could do.
'? and they fought and fought
and fought," said the pupil. "They
fought until they lost their arms.
Then they used their hands."

"And the animals and the birds, the

such interesting things all the time.
"But tonight I mustn't forget to tell
you about the Fairy Queen's latest

"The Fulry Queen sent out her Invi

have noticed that not long ago on a
lovely sunny day, which happened also
to be quite windy, that many of the
leaves were blowing about. (
"Well, this time the Fairy Queeq^

know.

LESSON FOR MAY 6
SAMUEL ? JUDGE AND PROPHET
' LESSON TEXT? I Sam. 12:1-25.
GOLDEN TEXT? Only fear the Lord,
and serve him In truth with all your
heart; for consider how great things he
hath done for you.? I Sam. 12:84.
REFERENCE MATERIAL. ? 1 Chron.
?:22; 28:29; Ps. 99:6; Jer. 15:1; Hb. 11:32, 83.
PRIMARY TOPIC? Samuel, the Boy
Who Served in God's House.
JUNIOR TOPIC? The Boy Who Heard
God's Call.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC
?Samuel, the Upright Judge.
TOUNO PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
?Samuel, the True Prophet.
Samuel means "asked of God." God
gave him in answer to his mother's
prayer. She promised to give him
back to God. In his early childhood,
his mother cared for and taught him.
There fc no teacher or nurse like the
mother of the child. At an early , age,
she handed him over to the care of EH
to minister unto the Lord In thetaber
nacle. While ministering unto the
Lord In the tabernacle, God called him.
He responded to this call and spent a
long life in useful service to God and
his nation as judge and prophet. Our
lesson today Is his farewell address.
After Saul was made king, he retired
and turned over the authority to the
newly-chosen ruler.
I. Samuel's Challenge to the People.
(TV. 1-5).
1. Reminder of the Way the King
Had Been Given, (v. 1). He showed
that they were directly responsible for
the change in government. Though
keenly feeling the reflection upon him
self and their ingratitude to God In
their demand for a king, he has not
resisted their wish. He reminded them
that they now had what they wanted.
2. Review of His Own Administra
tion. (fv. 2, 3). (1) Walk from child
hood (v. 2). Samuel's was a remark
able life; from childhood to old age
he had lived an upright and pure life.
How satisfying it must be to come to
the end of life and to look back even
to childhood days without regrets. (2)
Career as Judge and ruler (v. 3). He
boldly challenged them to show where
and how he had even In the smallest
matters defrauded or oppressed any
one. He courted the most searching
Investigation of his life, even calling
upon the Lord Himself to bear wit
ness.
3. The Vote of Confidence by the
People, (vv. 4. 5). It was Samuel's
right as he laid down the reins of gov
ernment to have his record vindicated
and to have his integrity established
beyond a doubt so that no evil-minded
man could ever be able to cnat re
pronch upon him.
II. Samuel Reviews God's Dealings
from the Time of M*eea. (vr. 6-15).
He reasoned with them concerning
the good hand of the Lord upon them
from the time of Moses. Though they
with Ingratitude turned from the Lord
and demanded a king' like the other
nations, he had acceded to their re
quest and set a king over them.
1. National Prosperity Conditioned
by Obedience, (v. 14). Though they
had displeased God In choosing a king.
If they would fear the Lord and render
obedience, national prosperity would
still be given. The nritlon which will
not walk in God's war cannot expect
God's blessing.
2. Disobedience to God Mennt the
Nation's Ruin (v. 15). It is folly to
ask God's blessing upon a nation whilg
! It is living In rebellion against Him.
True statesmanship is to find out God's
will concerning the nation and so di
rect it that in all its laws and customs
there may be harmony with that will.
III. Samuel's Own Vindication, (vv.
16-19).
This was such a critical hour in the
history of the nation that Samuel
sought to indelibly Impress this mo
ment on their hearts. This he did by
means of the thunder and rain out
of season. Harvest timu was not the
season for thunder and rain so when
It came at the call of Samuel, the
people were frightened. The sign had
its designed efTect. The people con
fessed their sin of asking for a king
and besought Samuel to pray for them.
IV. Samuel's Gracious Response, (vv.
20-25).
1. "Fear Not ? Serve the Lord With
All Your Heart." (vv. 20-22). Samuel
did not minimize their sin but assured
them if they would serve the Lord
wholeheartedly. He would not forsake ,
them. ?
2. "God Forbid That I Should Sin
Against the Lord in Ceasing to Pray -
for You." (v. 28). Though the people
bad rejected Samuel, jet he had such
magnanimity of soul that he had not
allowed their ingratitude to keep him
from interceding for them. Such fail
ure on bis part he regarded as sin.
Paganism.
To worry about carnal things is
pure paganism. He who has done such
grand things for the soul will not
atarve the body. ? W. L. Watklnaon.
Letting Go.
Shall I hold on with both hands to
every paltry poapeaaion? All I have
teaches me fbl trust the Creator tor
all I have not geen. ? Emerson.

THE PROVERBIAL LAST STRAW
Flora's Papa Had Stood Much, but
This Time Mickey Had Gone Be
* v yond the Limit.
Mickey is a collie pup.
Flora's sister gave Mickey to Flora
last Christmas.
Mickey has done a" great many
things that a little dog should not do,
but his wagging tall, roguish expres
sion and rolypoly antics have always
won him forgiveness. But now Mickey
is In disgrace.
Flora's mamma didn't get angry
when Mickey pulled the cover off the
table and broke one of her best china
cups.
Flora's papa forgave Mickey when
he chewed the sole off one of his
house slippers.
And, of course, Flora couldn't do
anything when Mickey tore one of her
best silk stockings.
Rut last week, the assessor came to
Flora's house and Mickey met him on
the front porch.
Flora's papa says: "It's too much."

Another girl and I are studying home
nursing during the evening, . which
necessitates our staying downtown for
dinner. In order to save expenses we
cook our meals in the office and conse
quently have had to take down a lot
of kitchen utensils.
I was bringing a trying pan down
one morning. It was an awkward bun
dle to carry, and when I got in the
crowded street car away up In front
so that every one could see me some
thing went "clang," like a fire alarm.
Everybody looked, and there In front
of me was my frying pan, which had

RESENT TAKING OF CENSUS
Enumerators in India Find Their Jobs
Full of Undesirable Thrills ?
Many Are Beaten.
The trials aiid tribulations of a staff
of some 2,000,000 census takers to
find out there were approximately
319,000,000 people iu India in 1921,
have been related by J. Marten, cen
sus commissioner for India.
The employment of this Huge army
of enumerators, said Mr. Mnrten, was
necessitated by the fact that, owing to
the illiteracy of the population, the
employment of the householder as
enumerator of his household was im
possible. He told of instances of
enumerators being stabbed by suspi
cious Hindus, who considered the cen
sus takers too inquisitive. Some of
the natives, on the other hand, resort
ed to violence when bribery failed to
Induce (he census takers to make
false entries showing that the natives
enjoyed higher stations in the social
scale than was really the case.
The census, Mr. Marten said,
showed gals of 1.2 per cent over the
population of 1911. The average
density of population over the whole
of India was 177 to the square mile.
The maximum density of any province
was In Bengal, where there were
found to be 008 to the square mile.
World Needs Such Men.
The man who is just and resolute
will not be moved from his settled pur
pose, either by the misdirected rage
of his fellow citizens, or by the threats
of an Imperious tyrant. ? Horace.
THIS WORM FINALLY TURNED
Really Asking Too Much of Him to
Sort Out Cats at That Time
of Night.
Every cellar window was broken In
Mr. Jones' old tumble-down bouse.
Consequently, all the smali domestic
nnimals In the neighborhood ? particu
larly the cats ? ran in and out at will.
Sometimes there was quite u gather
ing in the cellar, and when a pet was
missing, it was the regular thing to go
to "Uncle Bin's" door with, "Have you
seen my cat?"
One evening a nearby family missed
their "tortolseshell" at bedtime, and
concluding that she had Joined the
1 happy throng at Uncle Bill's, sent their
man over to ask him If he would take
a look and see If she was among the
number. It may have been a day of
many similar demands; at all events.
Uncle Bill was not in his usual good
temper.
"Your cat may be there, or she may
not be there," he said, "but I ain't a
goln' to light up no lamp an' go down
in {hat cellar this time o' night sortin*
out cats for nobody !"
Fielding's Rank as Author.

greatest novelist of the Eighteenth
century. He was playwright, a law
yer and a police court Judge. His
pages teem with life and humor. His
masterpiece, Tom Jones, written In
1749, was selected by Coleridge as
one of the three most perfect plots In
literature. \
