While they may differ some as to forms of worship and methods of gov: ernment, {t {s foolish for one to allow hig attention to be diverted to these side issues, and lose sight of the main question. Besides, it 1s an indication of mental laziness when one is not willing to search the Scriptures and form an opinion of his own. God has given us the Bible which reveals his will, and a mind capable of under- standing {t (John 20:31). God's will concerning the way of salvation ts re- ‘vealed so clearly that even a child can understand it. What excuse have we then for deferring our duty? We have no right to hold this mat- ter of repentance in suspense simply because there are some things in tifd Bible which we do not understand. There always will be things in the Bible which we do not understand, and if we walt until all things are under- stood by us we shall never be saved. If we will obey that part of God's word we do understand, we will soon get light on some of the obscure things. 1 once met a man on the train who claimed to bea skeptic. He sald there ‘were so many different religions that he did not know what to believe. “One claims that we ought to worship Budd- ha and another Confucius. Some say that Mormonism is the true religion, and [I suppose you would say that Jesus Christ was the only Saviour. In the midst of all these conflicting opia- fons, how is one to know what to be eve?" T sald to bim, “My friend, did you ever embrace any one of those relig- fons?” - “No, air.” “You remember the fable about the horse which stood between two stacks of hay. He was about to take a bite from one when there came a smell ot clover from the other eo inviting that he hesitated; then he caught a ‘whiff from the other which led him to turn again, and finally he starved to death between the two stacks, be cause he could not decide which to eat from. “Now m; friend, are you not making the same mistake which the horse made? Here you stand in the midst of all these religions starving your soul because you do not know which one to .hoose. Had you not better em- brace some one of them, and do it quickly? If you think that Buddhism is the most promising become a Budd- hist. If you think Mormonism is from God, become a Mormon. If you find salvation from sin in these religions continue in them, but if not, then ac cept’ Christ as your Saviour, and I am sure you will find salvation tn him He is the truth; seek no further. But by all means embrace some religion, and do it quickly for you are starving your soul for the lack of some one to worship and obey.” “I believe there {s some. truth in what you say,” said the man, “but this is my station and I must leave you. fam glad we have had this con yersation and I hope we shall meet | again.” i || Apparently the maa was convinced of his mistake, and was becoming in || terested, but he was leaving the caj |and what could I do?

Saul ceased from pursuing David (1 Samuel 27:4) when he fied into the land of the Philistines for he feared them greatly (I Sain. 28:5, 6). David fought with Saul’s enemies but never theless was not wanted (29:¢-11), His wives being taken captive, he, with 400 men destroyed Ziklag, sending the spoil to his friends in Judah (1 Sam 30). Following the death of Saul and Jonathan (II Sam. chapter 1) we read David's wonderful- lament (ch. 2). 1. David, King of - Judah. (1) Davida Kingdom, ch. 2:13. It is now. Seve * ct eight yeara- since Samuel anointed the young shepherd to be king in Saul’s place. David was prob- ably twenty-nine years of age. He had now a fourfold assurance of his throne (a) God's decree (I Sam. 16: 11-13); (b) The death of Saul (ch. 1: 4); (c) God's command (v. 1), and (d) The choice of the people (v. 4). His every step seems to have been led of God, therefore he had made no false moves (James 1:6-7, see also Ps. 19:18, 14). How God.Dy means of the stones in the priest's breastplate made known his will we are not told and It {s {dle to speculate. We have a bet- ter way, the inspired word and the Uving ,spirit through which we may receive guidance. Such guidance is conditioned upon obedience (I Sam. 28:6; Acts 5:82). “God directed David, after Saul’s death to “go up” to Heb- ron, which means. “fellowship.” It was here that Abraham, the man of falth, had lived. David thus began his conquest of the land in fellowship with God. . David tmplicitly obeyed God's decree (v. 2), took his family with him and also brought his men with their households. This is a sug- gestion relative to household fellow- ship with God. They left nothing be- hind to lure them back as Lot was lured when he left Sodom These men had been David’s partners in his adversity and are now to share in his glory (Luke 22:28, 29; I Tim. 2:12; Rom. 8:17, 18). (2)— David's Diptomacy,~2:6-7:~ It was good politics for David to honor these men of Jabesh, yet he was hon- est and sincere for he honored Saul as his rightful and God-anointed sow erelgn (I Sam. 24:48; 26:7-11). These men had shown kindness to San! and now Jehovah would show kindness: to them (7. 6). As we sow wo reap Matt. 5:7; 6:14, 15; I Tim. 1:16-18). David took pains to inform them that he had been chosen king but assures them that he would strengthen them. As they had been faithful to Saul, let them support the one who had been anointed in his stead. To‘have adopt ed any other policy would have alien- ated thetr support. * (8) Ish-bosheth’s Kingdom, 2:8-11. As contrasted with this God-directed Kingdom of David's was the man-direct- ed kingdom of Isb-bosheth. His name means, “name of shame.” Ho wat ‘about forty years of age, Saul's oldest son, but not his intended successor. Ish-bosheth was: (a) selected by maz (v. 8); (b) ruled by man (v. 9) and (c) made war upon God’s elect (x. 17, cb. 3:1). He only reigned two years and his kingdom fn the northern part of the land was separated from that of David by-that portion in the center controlled by the Philistines. Abner’s untimely death at the hand of Joat (ch. 3), deprived Ish-bosheth of leader.“ He was slain by his own serv. ants and his kingdom became a part of David's. ; 1. David, King of terael, 5:18 David passed through geven and one half years of delay in his progress towards the throne. It was not long after Ish-bosheth's death that a great assembly met at Hebron. It was & truly national gathering. Every tribe sent soldiers—280,000 in all—and the '| elders of the people were the spokes men. They proclaimed David “bon¢ of their bone” (v. 1) and that ever while Saul was king, David had beer | their real shepherd (v. 12). But bette | stil, they recognized David as God's chose: successor to Saul and pro | claimed to all men that they had loy '| ally accepted his choice. |The story of David's conquest o ‘| Jerusalem and the. éstablishment 0 | the seat of his government at tha '| place is interesting'and suggestive and |ghould be studied before next Sun Gay's lesson is considered. : | After being’ anointed tm Hebros '| David began at once to subdue theland ‘| Thus we see the loose tribal gov -| ernment molded tnto.a powerful, dom!

This day was also the covenant meeting day. In both the afternoon and evening services large crowds were in attendance. The pastor, Rev. Jno. Deshields was much enthused over the success of the meetings. Verily, Rev. Deshields is a mighty power in the religious life of East St. Louis. Monday evening at St. John A. M. E. Zion Church, Mrs. B. Buchanan rendered a unique program. She was the sole performer on a program twelve numbers long. The numbers were well executed and all present enjoyed themselves to the highest. Last Saturday at Kyle's Park, East St. Louis, Sumner High School, baseball team defeated the St. Paul Baptist Sunday-school team with a score of 8 to 7. Next Saturday, May 29, Sumner plays Lincoln High School in East St. Louis. It is thought that this will decide the championship of the series. So far Lincoln has not been defeated and this fact should bring out a large crowd from East St. Louis and St. Louis. Monday evening at St. Paul Baptist Church an entertainment was given, known as the cabaret entertainment. It consisted of a delightful program by some of the best talent of the city. This was one of a series of entertainments that is being given by this church to help raise money to pay off the church debt. The rally closes in June. Miss Bertha Turner, of Lebanon, Ill., returned to her home Tuesday after a pleasant visit with Miss Alethia Miller on Market Avenue. Friends of Mrs. Laura Thomas, of 1415 Boismenue Ave., surprised her with a party in honor of her birthday last Friday afternoon. A very nice time is reported.

"FRAM Gouveneur Morris- AMONG all the framers of the Constitution of the United States none were more adept at constructive statesmanship than the "father of the American decimal system" and originator of the copper cent. The finish, style and arrangement of the Constitution fairly belong to the brilliant and eloquent Morris." From his youth to the hour of his death he was a devoted and dauntless worker for American progress. His unrivaled ability as an orator was known throughout Europe, and his funeral orations on Washington, Clinton and Hamilton are treasured American classics. Gouveneur Morris was an indomitable supporter of the Louisiana Purchase. He it was who rescued LaFayette from prison walls and aided him from his private purse. Personally he was very handsome; his nature was impulsive, but his heart was warm and Visitors to St. Louis are courteously invited to inspect our plant—covers 143 acres.

All his life he drank the creative brews of malt and hops, and who will dare say that it weakened his will power or detracted from his success, his fame, his glory and his might? It was upon the tenets of the Constitution of the U. S. A. that Anheuser-Busch 58 years ago founded their great institution. During these 58 years they have daily brewed from the finest barley and hops beers famous for being alive with natural force and nutriment. Their great brand BUDWEISER, because of its quality, purity, mild- ness and exquisite flavor, exceeds the sale of any other bottled beer by millions of bottles. BUDWEISER'S popularity grows daily, and 7500 people are daily employed to keep pace with the public demand.

LOUIS ARGUS Oxford College I have a friend by the name of Mrs. Sarah Miller, and have been personally friendly to her for over three years, and during the time she wore a wig. I have been treating her hair for about two months, and now she has taken the wig off, and uses her own hair except a small piece in the back. This treatment is wonderful, I must say. Another lady by the name of Mrs. Emma Tuks, when I first saw the lady I was afraid to touch her hair, I thought I would burn the scalp, her hair was so short, and if you had seen her before I began to treat her scalp you would not believe it was the same head; it was the worst one I have met with. I will mention some more next time. Your agent, Mrs. Muriel Hall, Tampa, Fla. Dear Madam: Yes, Nineteen Fourteen, in the month of August, I was visiting my friend, Mrs. Emma B. Wills; she and I were looking over the Voice of the People, a newspaper, and found Major's advertised hair grower, and we both decided to work for the Oxford College. I have tried everything for my hair and nothing did it any good, until I began using Major's Hair Oils, and I feel proud of my hair today, and feel more than able to speak for it anywhere and any time. I can truly say it is the real thing and does the work. And I will say to all ladies, let us work hard, and use W. L. Major's face, creams, hair oils and powder, and look good Your Oxford Complexion Cream is among the best I have ever used, it shall always be on my dressing table, and you may be sure that your number of customers will be made more numerous by my advocating the use of it among my many friends and acquaintances. I have seven patrons who are taking the full course of treatments; they are perfectly satisfied with the treatments. Says your representation of different articles just as represented. I have a gentleman patient, who has ring-worms in face, I have been treating him two weeks and have taken all out of face excepting one. I feel that I am in a growing and prosperous business. Your chemicals are wonderful, and I am more anxious to go on and do everything for the future success of your business and my growth. Yours very truly, (Miss) Peoria Black, Parsons, Kan. I can say, truthfully, that I have seen a great many who have had treatments from others firms, but none to equal the Oxford treatments. Had I taken some other course of hair treatment as many of my friends wanted me to, and afterward seen the work of your course, I would have been very jealous. Your treatment does just what it says it will do, and to be without it I would miss the very pride of womanhood. So many of my friends are wonderfully surprised since they have seen my work and say—they mean to take the Oxford Course of Hair Culture. One or two ladies that are having treatments from other agents have already said they were going to take the Oxford treatment of me and buy some of the oils. It works like a charm. Thanking you for what you done for me, and looking to do a thing for you in the future. Dear Madam: Dear Madam; Sir:— Dear Sir: Madam: My friends, and myself, think there is no other course like this one. We like it better and better. I can't help but smile whenever I open a box of Oxford Pressing Oil. My friends are always glad to hear of me making a new order; it is doing a wonderful work on some heads I deal with. I am compelled to say the Oxford hair preparations are among the best on the market, as you would certainly have heard from me in case your course of treating the scalp had not pleased or helped me. I think it no more than fair to let you know that the opposite is the case. Now, when I say that I am pleased with all that came to me from you, I am speaking the sentiments of my friends, for those that have received treatments assist me greatly in advertising my work. Now that I am out again I am determined to do all I can for the work. "FORSHAW" REPAIRS FOR "ANY OLD" STOVE 111 NORTH 12th STREET CENTRAL 3491-R MAIN 2043 NOTICE!

Big Crowds' See Our Boys Beat Indians in Two Close The West Baden Sprudels, a team of heavy stickers, will be here Sunday and Monday to play Charlie Mills Giants at Kuebler's Park. The visitors have been burning up the diamond this season and bid fair to give our speed boys a couple of hard battles. The aggregation includes Blackwell, l. f.; Brown, c. f.; Kimbro, 2d base; Kenard, c.; Downs, s. s.; Brigge, r. f.; Johnson 1st base; Harrison, 3d base; Miller and Dandy, pitchers. The fact that the Giants and Indians were able to play after the rain Sunday proves that nothing but a deluge during playing time can put Kuebler's Park out of commission. Out of a score or more games scheduled, last Sunday, the Browns, Terriers and Giants were the only teams that could play. GIANTS TAKE TWO FROM INDIANS The Giants won two hard games from the Indians. Sunday's game went 11 innings, the Giants winning 1 to 0. Williams pitched a one-hit game, while Mills' boys hit Watkins, the Indians' star twirler, five times. Monday's game was an exciting slugfest. Each team made 12 hits, and the score was a see-saw affair until Jimmie Lyons crossed the pan in the ninth with the bacon, score 8 to 7. More than 3,000 fans saw the second contest. Crenshaw started on the mound for the Giants in Monday's game, but was too wild and was relieved, after passing two men, by Thomas, a new pitcher. Thomas was taken out in the sixth and Williams went in to balance Watkins, who had been called in by the Indians to relieve Cleghorn. Kid Carrey is hitting the ball hard and playing 3rd base like a veteran. The Indians have the best team in their career. They will be here again in August. Hewitt and Bennet starred as pinch hitters in the two games. Captain Wallace will probably be seen at short Sunday, and Hewett will return to right field. CARNATION CAFE OPENS AT BEAUMONT AND LAWTON The doors of the Carnation Cafe, at 2644 Lawton Ave., over Dix's Buffet, opened to a big crowd of patrons Thursday night, May 20. The new place, under the assistant management of J. H. Wisdon, presented a picture of artistically arranged palms and roses. The three rooms, with a seating capacity of 85, were filled from an early hour until the strains of "Home, Sweet Home" were rendered by the entertainers, Walter Farrington and Webb Ousley, in spite of the steady rain. Each lady present was presented with a large Marshal Niel rose. Messrs. Dix and Hawkins received much praise from the guests. The prompt service of their assistants was also lauded, and they wish to thank their many friends who braved the weather to do them honor. Every night will be a big night at this new cafe, but Wednesday nights will be the regular souvenir feature. All are invited all the time.

CONNOR AND MANN BIG HIT AT BOOKER WASHINGTON McCrea and Brown, Lottie Grady, and "Hamtree" Harrington on Big Bill. Pay Day Draws Another Big Crowd. Edgar Connor, the original Sambo, and Miss Cecil Mann, two of the daintiest and most artistic little performers that have ever visited St. Louis, are making a decided hit at the Booker Washington Theatre this week in a novelty singing and dancing act. This little couple comes to us with much distinction. Connor is a protege of the famous Rosamond Johnson, and was the star of the Sambo Girls in the Red Moon Company. He and Miss Mann have been playing white time and would have been filling an engagement in Europe had it not been for the war. 1. They are by far the classiest of the footlight stars. Miss Mann is a graceful little lady, young and pretty. She displays a wealth of beautiful gowns. Their graceful dances and jingling melodies are going so good this week that they are forced to take several encores. Lovely Lottie Grady, a gingery comedienne, beautiful and handsomely costumed, makes a hit with her characteristic and descriptive songs and imitations; especially her imitation of Williams and Walker. She is very good and gets the applause. "Hamtree" Harrington, with a repertoire of songs, dances and monologue jokes, does well. His song, describing characters in the audience, causes much merriment. McCrea and Brown, a sister team, do some singing and talking that scores nicely, but their biggest asset is their sprightly dancing. Both excel in this art, doing much fancy and acrobatic work. They take well with the audiences and are generously applauded. Pay Day, Monday night drew another big crowd. Everybody attending received an envelope containing their pay and every one was satisfied no matter how small the amount. The Moore-Bowman Players, consisting of Tim and Hester Moore, Ursel Burnette, Henri Bowman and others have been engaged for an extended stay at the new Tokio Airdome in East St. Louis. The principal are the same who appeared here for several weeks under the name of Turpin's Artists. Battling Ball, of this city, knocked out Hamilton, of Memphis, in the first round at the Future City Club, May 14.

Since the opening of the Garden Airdome many patrons have requested the management to secure the well-known and popular serial "The Trey of Hearts," which is conceded to be the best drawing and most thrilling moving picture serial ever produced. This request has been compiled with and beginning Monday, May 31, and continuing every Monday thereafter, "The Trey of Hearts" will be shown at the Garden Airdome, 2120 Market St. This is the serial which features Clio Madison, the queen of moving picture actresses. Miss Madison successfully portrays a dual role in "The Trey of Hearts," that of Rose and her sister; her superb acting is the kind that goes straight to the heart and the many thrilling situations in which she risks her very life have made her the idol of movie patrons, as well as bringing her fame and fortune. Thousands of moving picture lowers who have already seen this great serial will take advantage of the reproducing of "The Trey of Hearts" and witness again this most thrilling play. The first episode will be shown at the Garden Airdome, Monday night, May 31. Don't forget that the first show starts at 7:30; second show starts at 9 and the last show at 10:30. The garden also offers its patrons a high class picture program each evening; our up-to-date musical program starts at 7 p. m. every day and we will be pleased to have you come and see the garden before the show starts. It is our desire to have everybody know that this place is under new management, with new ideas and innovations and we feel that it will be refreshing to you if you come and look the place over, so kindly accept this as a cordial invitation and remember that you are welcome at all times.
