Monday night the residents of this
section had the privilege of witness
ing one of the finest eclipses of the
moon that has occurred in the mem
ory of most of the residents here
the longest eclipse in fifty years and
also one of the most beautiful.
The first shadows of the earth
crept onto the moon surface shortly
after 9 o'clock and from then to 11
o'clock the moon was gradually en
veloped in the brassy hued rays of
the earth shadow.
Emil Weyrich, local enthusiast in
astronomy, with his powerful tele
scope, entertained a large group cf
the watchers at Garfield park where
he had placed the machine and
through which the progress of the
earth shadow could be followed
closely.
There were hundreds in all sec
tions of the city who followed the
progress of the eclipse closely and
remained up to see the last of the
shadows roll away and the moon once
more shine in all of its glory of a
mid-summer night.

4-G; 2G:11, 12). (6) He was the
greatest poet and hymnologist of
Israel, which fact is accounted for in
the beck of Psalms.
David's boyhced and youth was
spent in Bethlehem. His father ws3
Jcszc, the sen of Obed, who wa3 the
t.on cf Bcaz and Ruth. He had seven
brothei s he being the youngest. No
mention is made of hi3 mother nor
sisters. Some scholars are wont to
trace his beauty and charm to Ruth,
his great-grandmother. His occupa
tion was that of a shepherd. More
great dclivrers in Biblical history
came cut of tending cheep, than from
any ether single profession. Abel,
Isaac, Jacob, Mcses, Gcd is named a
Shepherd (Ps. 23; Jesus John 10;
Ileb. 13:20.)
When abcut 20 ycar3 eld he was
anointed King, to succeed Saul, who!
had rulod over Israel abcut 30 years;
(See v. 2C in lesson). The great-
heartedness of David is the shining
i mark of his character.
Who cannot see the deep sorrow cf
his soul, as he recounts only the
good qualities of his enemy, King
Saul, forgetting all the anguish, the
torture of his past years, as Saul was
determined to kill him, and how he
had to flee from place to place for
his life; but he, hearing of the death
of his enemy composed the dirge,
expressing the most beautiful lan
guage the good qualities of Saul.
Hence we recount at funerals enly
what i3 good about tha dead.
David was human, and very much
so, as we see in later years, w hen his
uncontroled passion brought deep
grief and sorrow to his soul. Having
committed sins fcr which the law de
manded the death penalty, he show
ed himself to be a man. when con
fronted by God's prophet Nothan
who rebuked David, he did not try
to find an alibi, but confessed to Gcd,
the wrcng done (See Ps. 51) and
God graciously pardoned him (See Ps.
32). So the greatest sinner can find

this lad was a Gcd-fearing young

of schooling in the court of King

Parked on the Highway
Three of the celebrators of Bacchus
carried on their celebration to such a
degree that they became sleepy and
stopped their car on the curve lead
ing from Highway 75 to Highway 24,
opening both doors, presumably to
get more air, slumbering peacefully
on until they were discovered by
Charles Land, the duly qualified con
stable of Liberty precinct, whose duty
it is to see that the law is obeyed
and it happens that the law denies
anyone the privilege of parking across
the highway and then going to sleep.
It was with some difficulty that
Constable Land was able to awaken
the three sleepers, and whn he did
;et them aroused they were in an
ugly mood, one of them taking a bat
at the officer and striking him along
the side of the head.
The beligerant celebrant, however,
mistook the prowess of Mr. Land, and
it was not long until the constable
had the entire trio in jail, where they
were held until bonds were provided
for their appearance In court Monday

Ralph Opp was to hear the charges.
