For one who assumes to bo a chronicler of ihtnxs seen and heard slong Die Cape Mar beach, there la much to praise,and not a little to call forth adverse criticism. For example. to contemplate the condition which prevail along the ocean from of the Cape from the cltr Hue to the point of the Cape, Us past as remembered hr many now living. Us present and Its prospective or possible future, Is really painful. Land 1m provement Companies have gone to the bad within the past thirty-three years, or third of a century, because of the feeble efforts of man to cope with Old Neptune’s progressive for eea, have gone for naught. Witbl.. thfe period many thousands of dollaia worth of property have been swa. lowed up by the sea. These devests ting forces are still at work, and wi.i continue to work until the stale or federal authorities awaken to In. necessity of appropriating suffick... money to bulkhead the shore line i a manner that shall successfully wit stand the power of the sea to oevou-

the land.

This Idea may he "pooh-pooheu. but just think of the millions appi. prialed by politicians for some simter purpose, or for their owu person, advantage or benefit. A coniiu. ous stone-based bulk-head should ha. hewn constructed at public expens years ago, done In the best an.. strongest manner that eugiueeu... ■sin could devise, to be fouowud n. a continuous beach drive dear > Delaware Ray.

Comment sed Suggestive ThoughL David s victory over Goliath had severa! issues which affected bb whole

life.

L It led to Ue bbeeed friendship which bound together Ue hearts of David and Jonathan "as with hooka of steel” (va 1-4). 2. It led to David's advancement to Ue head of Ue army, and bis training in the arts of war, for Ue defense of hb country (v. t). 2. It led to hb long and difficult training In daallng wlU men of aU kinds, to self-control and srtodom. Thb Is put last In Ue story, because of Its connection with Saul, which require# conslderahb detail (vs. d-t). V. t. "And Saul eyed David." "kept his eys on David ... In suspicion and dislike."—InL CriL Com. We often speak of Jealousy as "Ue green-eyed monster,” and no emotions show themselves move unmistakably In Us eye. Envy and Jealousy. L They are most unhappy vices. Of all the passions Jealousy Is that which exacts Ue hardest service and pays Ue bitterest wages.—Colton. In Laron 2. They are Ue fruit of selBshnesa. of making self one's god. one's supreme object of Iova I. The cure of Jealousy b to seek first Ue kingdom of God. and test evryUlng. not by Its effect on ourselves, but by Its power to aid or to hinder Sod » kingdom. He Uat doe* Uls will rejoice la 1U coming, even though It be throngh others. So John said of Jesns. "He must Increase, but I must decrease." 4. Therefore overcome evil with good; overcome It In Its very beginning*. for there U nothing which grows so rapidly. V. 10. "The evil spirit from Sod came upon Saul." made use of Uli malady which opens wide Ue door for such Influence*, and all evil passion* of Ue king find easy expression. "And prophesied,” that Is be went through the frenriee and terrible struggles and convulsion* which charac1 a certain form et pro»ba*rtac Ue heathen (vevr dlRerenl from aayUbg dene by Ue BibUoal prophet*). An eye-wltnes*. is describing U# Egyptian dervi*he». says of Ue devotees that "some writhe In agony, some swoon, some are In fit*, while stUl wlU foaming llpa Uey jtrive to murthe praise of Allah.”—Gordon Gumming. It survives among Ue fakirs of dla and sheiks, or dervishes, eff Mohammedanism. They “rave” (margin of r. v.). they foam, and Urow Uemsalves Into many an unnatnral posture. They become dangerous, not only to others, but also to Uemselves when so frenaled; still, lookars-on regard them as performing religious exercli or prophesying.—Shwelr. Mount Lebanon, Syria. First Attempt to Murder David. 1L "Saul cast Ue Javelin." or ebort spear. Twice did David escape by hb

aglUty.

Second Attempt to Kill David, v. 13. Saul sent David awsy and made him a colonel of a regiment: Ostensibly, to promote David, and canqner Ue king's enemies. R rally that David might be slain by the Philistine*. The result was to bring out David’s virtues mors oonsptcoously. After this Saul tried to make David disaffected, by refusing to keep hb promise to make him his son-in-law; sad agafn through Ue love of his daughter for David. A Hero In Trial. — Vs. 14-16. (1.) v. 14. "David behaved himself wisely.” prudently, skillfully. wlU all Us wisdom of goodness and love. There was no treachery In him. He learned self-control and grew to wisun and knowledge and grace. (I.) One of the sources of Ub wisdom was to his singleness of heart, hb devotion to right and duty at any cost, absolute unselfishness.
