THE KINGDOM STRENGTHENED AND ENLARGED International Sunday School Lesson ' .For April 20 Golden Text: "David waxed creat or and greater; for the Lord, the God f hosts, was with him." II Samuel 5:10. U" " I Lesson' Text: II Samuel 5:3-7; 9 Uf 7:8-13. y Our lesson for this week shows the part David played in the plan of God for Israel. The book of II Samuel is 4 continuation of the first and is the record of David's kingship. , After David's annointment at the hands of Samuel, the prophet, there was a long period of preparation dur ing which God's hand can be definitely seen. There were the years which the young kmg-to-be spent as a shep herd lad, during which he com muned with nature, deepening his poetic temperament and his religious fervor, not to mention the effect the kmtdoor life would have on his phy sical well-being- There were also the years which the young; man spent ft the palace as the "court musician," Awhere he became accustomed to court- lly ways and gained some knowledge of the affaire of the state and the needs of the nation. 4 The jealousy of the king, Saul, -led ij his years in exile, which were not futile years for David. Seeking refuge as an outlaw in the wild coun try west of the Dead Sea, David drew around him a motley crew of follow ers. His .ability to keep this group ih order and to win them to loyalty fto him gives proof of his great power Of leadership. v Thus, during the intervening years between his call by God to the king ship of Israel and his assuming the throne upon the death of both Saul, and the heir-apparent, Jonathan, God was preparing this man of his choice Unchanging Through The Years Time does not dull the lustre . 1 11.. 11J It. j nor weuen uie buiiu Bircugiu tV of the monuments we supply.

C. : 4.. t. . ne naa oeen tveaiuMiig. uie rexpuiioiuuiuea m jiis position David went t -God asking for guidance God told hint to go into Judah and make his headquarters t Hebron. , David obeyed, moving his family . and large force of1 men there. David was asked by the princes of Judah to accept the crown over their tribe and thus David was recognized as king by his fellow; tribesmen, but by them only. The result was that although David's , designation by Samuel to the kingship was generally known, and he was st popular choice, yet for seven and a half years he ruled over "only a small fraction of the people of Israel. .' The first act of David, .upon as cending to the throne of Judah, was to send thanks to the men of Jabesh Gllead for their kindness in burying King Saul. -. This was an act of thoughtfulness and also one of tact, because, by this act, he expressed his real appreciation to them, but also hoped to gain their friendship and al legiance to himself. It should be pointed out here that, although he had been persecuted by Saul, David loved and respected his king. This is evi denced by his beautiful funeral ode to Saul and Jonathan. Forgetful of his personal wrongs, David eulogized the king and his son in words of deepest sorrow and affection. However, the men of Jabesh, to gether with all the other northern tribes, united with Abnerj the captain of the northern army, and for seven and a half years there was a dual kingdom in Israel. Continual feuds broke out between the rival generals, Abner on the north and Joab on the south. David took no part in the re bellion. He defended himself when attacked but that was all. He was waiting on the Lord to act and relying upon God, he became stronger all the while. Finally, representatives of the northern tribes came to Hebron and asked David to become king of all Israel. The reasons they gave for desiring David , as their king are in teresting. David was gracious in his acceptance and "made a league with them . . . before the Lord." As Heb ron was too far south for the capital of the reunited nation, David selected a site more centrally located, Jeru salem (of Jehus), and proceeded to take it from the hands of the occu pants, although it was strongly for tified. Having captured it, he chang ed its name to "city of David," to commemorate the importance of the conquest Wisely. David not onlv made Jeru salem the seat of the government of Israel, but he also made it the center of the religious life of the people. e had the ark of the covenant brought into the city and placed in a tent set aside for it and made definite plans for the building of a temple. Because of a great sin he committed, God would not permit David to build the temple, but gave this privilege to David's son, Solomon. David's name has been brought down to us as the greatest king that Israel ever had. It is apparent that he never could have brought this about for the fact that he had in his heart faith and hope and love toward God and toward his fellow men. He was a man of deep and genuine piety. He was "a man after God's own heart." j, zr0 ft i 1 ' - I fin A 4ick refresher , I jijl , BUBBJJE UP, , J '! 1 5 i QUESTIONABLE GRATITUDE Goshen, Ind.

Departmtni Spawning Areas C osed To Fishing Waters which will be closed to fish ing during May and June as spawn ing areas for warm-water species of game fish were announced today by the Division of Game and Inland Fisheries. Establishment of these spawning areas is carried out under authority granted by the State Board of Con servation and Development last July when it abolished the closed season on warm-water species. In setting up year-round fishing, the board specified that the division could sel ect waters to close as spawning areas for protection of these species. Mountain trout now are the only game fish on which there is a closed season. The trout season will remain unchanged April 15 through August 31. The streams closed as warm-water spawning areas will be posted. They will be closed to all fishing from May 1 through June 30. The list of spawning areas in this county includes the Perquimans River from State Highway 37 bridge to head of river. eases known to veterinarv science are caused by parasites, this authority declared, and a spring parasite con trol program should be basic in any 1947 livestock program.

Fewer Turkeys This Season Is Predicted North Carolina turkey growers have expressed their intentions to produce four per cent fewer birds in 1947 than last year, the Federal State Crop Reporting Service says in its first turkey report of this season. Based upon reports from many tur key growers, only 380,000 turkeys will be raised this year as compared with 396,000 raised in 1946. This number, however, is 68 per cent greater than the five-year (1939-43) average pro duction of 242,000 birds. The trend in turkey production in this State has been increasing for several years. In the nation, turkey growers anti cipate reducing turkey production in 1947 by 16 per cent. This will be the second successive reduction since the peak production year of 1945. If growers .carry out their intentions, the number of turkeys raised this year will be about 34,500,000 turkeys, compared with 41,000,000 in 1946. The 1947 crop would be 23 per, cent smaller than the record crop of 45, 000,000 in 1945, The 1939-43 acre age number was about 33,500,000 tur keys. 1 Rotation Of Pastures Aids Livestock Health Before turning livestock out to pas ture this spring, farmers should re member the value of pasture rotation as a means oi. controlling parasites. This word of advice is issued by the Veterinary. Division of the State Ag riculture Department, which points out that much parasite infestation can he avoided by alternating cattle' pas tures with those pastures used by swine, sheep or horses. These ,other steps were also sug gested as part of the same program: Clean, fresh wator supplies should be provided. Stagnant ponds and pools should be drained or fenced off. Bonemeal in the ration helps discour age' the- eating of dirt, Which often contains parasite eggs.- Clean bed ding is vital, and young stock should be kept a way from ' refuse . piles.
