When the dog bad got hi Jaw about the enemy he found that he could not get out owing to the small aire ot the animal's bole. Rather than lose bis prey the dog retained his hold on the woodchuck over night, and was helped out by his master In the morning. The dog was nearly exhausted, and revived after feeding and drinking in a curious man ner. He consumed about two quarts of unguarded ice cream, which had been set aside tor a party, and capped the climax by falling into a bucket of lem onade, Worcester (Mass.) Telegram.

I MADE BY Vat I M OLD DUTCH jT 1 f If A MESSAGE TO SKEPTICS OO There are but three positions we can hold with reference to Christ. "Some .said he is a good man, others said, nay; but he de ceiveth the peo ple." (John 7:12.) Jesus Christ was either a madman, a bad man, or a God. None but a God, or a mad man, or a de ceiver could have made the claims that he did. The strongest minds on earth stand with uncovered heads in the presence of his teaching. The Sermon on the Mount, even infidelity is willing to admit, was the utterance of a clear head and a pure heart. The whole trend of his life indicates the soundest mind, filled with the healthy enthusiasm which a great mission inspires. The charge that he was a madman no one is fool ish enough to defend. Then we are driven to one of two other positions. He was either God. or the worst of men. A good man cannot claim to be what he knows he is not. A good man cannot be a hypocrite. Now, does any one in this day contend that Jesus was a deceiver? I have yet to hear such a one. A Rabbi's Admission. A candid Jewish rabbi admitted in a sermon some time ago that Jesus was a good man, whose object it was to do good, and said that he died a martyr to his mission. Such an admis sion puts a man who rejects the divin ity of Christ in an embarrassing posi tion, for now he must prove that a good man can be a hypocrite; that a good man can be the worst of men. .There is no middle ground. Jesus pressed this fact home upon the young man who came to him. saying: ""Good master, what must I do to in herit eternal life?" when he replied: "Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is God." (Mark 10: 17-18.) "To say that I am good, Is equal to saying that I am God; and if you admit that I am good, your place is at my feet as a worshiper, and the place for your money is on the altar of my service." The ques tion of Jesus: "Which of you con vlnceth me of sin?" challenges not only his hearers, but ail the ages; and their verdict has echoed the words of Pilate: "I find no fault in this man." Friends and foes who lived close to him. and inspected his words and actions, confirm the claim that he was good. Peter says, "He did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth." (1 Peter 2:22.) "Ye know." says John, "that he was manifested to take away our sins, and in him was no sin." (1 John 3:5.) We believe that no man lives to-day bad enough to deny this claim, and assert tbat Jesus wrs a de ceiver. The very thought shocks the consciousness of one who is at all fa miliar with his character. If then, no one can be found foolish enough to claim that he was a madman, or bad enough to assert that he was a bad man. surely the verdict that he was good is universal. And it good, he was God. His Work. His work was to establish a king dom not of this world. (John IS: 36.) Such a thought was not of this wor'd" The Jews were looking for a tempore king, to deliver them from Ronta) rule. If Christ had taken hold of the idea, and used it for his own advance ment, he would have acted like a man, and bis success could have been ex plained as the success of Napoleon and Washington can be explained. On the contrary he opposed the leaders of public opinion, and began the estab lishment of a kingdom which lives to. day after the kingdoms of Greece. Rome and Egypt have ceased to exist A young man. a poor mechanic, from a mountain village, with no rich, pow erful allies, does this in three yvars! And he does it by the deliberate sacri fice of himself. Men have died mar tyrs to their mission. But man has never yet planned martyrdom as a part of his mission. Jesus told his disciples that he would go to Jerusa lem and be crucified, and on the third day rise again. (Matt. 16:21.) He pro vides before his death for a memorial of that death. Men do not build monu ments to their defeats. The French have no monument to Waterloo. But Jesus would have his followers re member not the Mount of Transfigura tion, but Calvary; not his glory, but his shame. Indeed, he makes h!s shame the test of discipleship, he tells his followers that they must expect to be hated, persecuted, killed. Men do not try to establish kingdoms in this way. All these things go to prove that Jesus was not native to this world. He was more than man, and, as I see him standing out distinct from and above all others, I cannot resist the impulse to fall at his feet, and say with Thomas: "My Lord and my God!"

DRUM OF THE REVOLUTION. Hoeaier Has Instrument That Sound ed Call to Arms 133 Years Ago. Indianapolis. Ind. This is the pic ture of a drum, the veteran of all drums In Indiana, with an authentic history going back to the early days of the American revolution. This drum, one head of which is broken, and one of the two original sticks that sounded the call to arms 133 years ago, is now in the possession of Joseph W. Church of South port, Ind. The story of the drum is fur nished by James H. Kimberlin of this Drum Which Sounded Call to Arms During Revolution. city, a veteran of the civil war, who served in Company C, One Hundred and Twenty-fourth Indiana, and mar ried a great-granddaughter of John Church, great-grandfather of the pres ent owner of the drum. John Church, with three brothers, living in Connecticut, enlisted when the colonies rose against George HI. One of these brothers, named Tim othy, was a drummer. He was taken prisoner by the British in 1778. and was taken to Nova Scotia, where he died of smallpox. The drum came into possession of his brother, John Church, and has remained with his de scendants, first coming to his son, Isaac Church, born September 11, 1790. From him it passed to his Boa, George W. Church, born April 12, 1814, who removed to Lawrence town ship, Marion county, Indiana, in 1S45. From him it passed to his youngest son, Joseph W. Church, the present owner. When George W. Church came to Indiana he brought with him besides the old drum a number of other relics. Among these was the old family Bible now in possession of his widow. Mel- vina Church, S6 years old, who is liv ing at Lawrence, this county. John Church, the brother of the Connecticut drummer boy of the revo lution, was with Gen. Benedict Ar nold at Quebec He and his three brothers, Philemon. Simeon and Tim othy, were in the battle of Saratoga, the turning point of the revolution, where the victory of the Americans over Burgoyne brought France to the aid of the revolutionists as a for midable ally. At Quebec John Church. so the family tradition goes, was near Arnold in the charge on the British, and when Arnold was wounded helped him from his horse. NEW SECRETARY'S RECORD.

On the northern slopes or Mount Gilboa -were encamped the army of Saul: the Philistine army at Shunem. The valley of Jexreel lay between them. Comment and Suggestive Thought. Saul and the Witch of Endor. Saul, brave as he was. felt a deep depres sion of spirit. Why? It was not so much the numbers and battle array of the invading army, as his feeling of guilt and of loss of the favor of God. There is nothing so weakening and depressing as a guilty conscience. Saul made every effort to obtain the favor and aid of Jehovah, except the only one that could have been suc cessful; complete repentance of sin and turning with his whole heart to God. Like the king in Hamlet, he could not try what repentance could do, because he would not repent. His last resort was to find a sorcer ess or witch, the whole tribe of which he had driven from his kingdom, be cause they led men away from God. Saul learned that eight or ten miles away to the north in some of the re mote gorges of Little Hermon, near Endor, a sorceress "had built herself a cabin, and there in gloom and ob scurity plied her unholy arts." There are two possible interpreta tions: First. That the woman was inter rupted and frightened by the unex pected, actual appearance of Samuel, whose voice Saul heard, but whom he did not see; and that Samuel uttered the terrible words of condemnation against Saul. Second. That the whole scene was a deception on the part of the woman. She recognized Saul, and was glad of an opportunity to revenge upon him the evil he had done to her race. She acted astonished, and made Saul think she saw Samuel. Then she put in the prophet s mouth only the doom which seemed probable, and, as Mil man says, "excepting the event of the approaching battle, the spirit said nothing which the living prophet had not said before repeatedly and pub licly." V. 1. "And the men of Israel fled before the Philistines." Saul's three sons, including Jonathan, were slain. The Philistines drove the people out of their town and occupied the terri tory (v. 7). "Gibeah, Saul's own city, was thrown, into terror. The royal family fled for their lives. In the flight the nurse let fall Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, then a child of five years of age. "He was lamed for life' (2 Sam. 4:4)." James Sime. The Death of Saul. In the general rout, Saul realized that there was no way of escape. He was in despair. His army was gone, his son slain, he himself was wounded and weak, and God was not with him. He had "supped full of horrors." Finding he could not escape, "Saul took a sword and fell upon it" (4), the hilt on the jrround and the point at his heart. Thus father and son lay dead together on the field of battle. 9. "And they cut oft his head." To send as a trophy and proof of their victory. It was hung in the temple of Dagon at Ashdod (1 Chron. 10:10). "Stripped off his armor, and sent Into the land ... to publish it in the house of their idols." A Heroic and Loving Deed. V. 11. "The inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead heard." Jabesh-gilead was a city of Manasseh, east of the Jordan, about ten miles across the Jordan valley from Bethshan. The inhabitants re membered the splendid feat of arms by which King Saul at the very begin ning of his reign delivered them from the Ammonites under Nahash, who agreed to spare them only on condi tion of the loss of their right eyes. The men in grateful memory res cued these trophies, burned the decay ing bodies, and gave their bones an honored burial. What Aids Did Saul Have Toward a Blessed Life? (1) He had a long pe riod of home preparation and testing in little things till his powers 'were matured before he was called to sus tain the strain of the court and the battlefield. (2) Saul as king was re quired (see Deut. 17:18-20) to write out a copy of the law. thus becoming thoroughly acquainted with it, better than by almost any other means; and then , he must "read therein all the days of his life." (3) Saul received special influences of the Holy Spirit (1 Sam. 10:6), fitting him for his great duties. (4) He had the ability to become a warrior and statesman, a great benefactor of his nation, edu cating them in religion, defending them against enemies, building them up in prosperity and true success. What Was the Central Source of His Failure? It was a wrong choice. He would not yield himself heart and soul to God, as David did? Everyone makes mistakes and- er rors, but they are not absolutely de structive so long as one's central aim and purpose is to do God's will. "The will is the ranking official of all in man." "It is the will which creates the man." A wrong choice is "as a poison In the blood which permeates arteries, veins, nerves, brain and heart, and speedily brings paralysis or death."
