SCHOOL MOTES
Canadian county field meet was
lield Saturday, April 17. The day
was alt that could be desired and
a large crowd ot boys and girls,
parents and friends of education
assembled to spend the day.
Owing to some of the players
coming late only one game, that
of volley hall, was played before
noon.
The teachers of Calumcnt, Suu-
nyside, Manner, Meridian, Darling,
ton and District 36 deserves u
great dpal of credit for the inter-
est and enthusiasm displayed in
getting their pupils entered in the
events and encouraging them dur-
ing the meet.
Calumet and Danner had more
of their patrons present than any
of the other districts. The school
haring the largest representatior
has not been decided yet as w*
have not been able to get the cor.
rect number from each district.
We will report on that next week.
Danner school received the Ok-
lahoma pennant for winning the
greatest number of points. They
won 89 points in the day’s events.
District 115 came second and Culti-
ment third.
The championship was lost by
Ray. Alexander to his school mate,
Earl Blanton. Karl won 14 points.
The champion girl athlete of the
first class was Nellie Fanning, of
Danner. Champion hoy, second
class, was a tie between Harold
Ureenwood and Allen Patton.
Champion girl, second class.
Gladys Price.
Three girls, Marie Peterson.
Edith Mohnike and Dorthy Panics
of ltanner, tied on points.
The teachers, patrons, pupils and
county superintendent take great
pleasure in expressing their thank,
and appreciation to the business
men of El Reno, Calumet, Union
and Piedmont for their generosity
in providing the numerous prizes
won in the meet.
These business men are interest,
ed in the boys and girls of Can-
adian county and show by their
interest in the meet that they real-
ize the true worth of well trained,
well educated boys and girls.
The gold medal contests will
be held during the month of May
at the following places: Yukon,
May 15; Calumet, May 21; and El-
Reno, May 29.
We will have a speaker to pre-
sent the medals and some music
and expect to have a splendid pro-
gram in the evening at each place.
I hope a large number of pat-
rons will attend these contests.
Next year the three who win the
gold medals this year will compete
for a grand gold medal.
I have not received the names of
all those holding silver medals yet
and I trust that all who are inter-
ested will see to it that they are
ready and at the place of meeting
ut the date given above.
The May examination will he
held May 13 and 14 at Piedmont,
Yukon, Calumet and El Reno and
District 87.

reminding hinillut he was but a shep-
herd ivv. 26-29). David’s words are
carried to Saul slid ha Is Introduced to
ths king.
I. Boastful Frida, vv. 1144 Fear
and dismay were aroused sst ths very
sight ot tills proud Philistlas <tt. 11,
24, 32). yet such fear was foreign to
David, for hla eyes were not upon man
but upon God If. 37). He relatad to
Saul hla exploits not as boasting hut
as giving him assurance that God wee
able to deliver him out of the hand of
this Philistine. Saul, who had ones
been a man of like simple faith, ia now
as much in fear as any of his army.
David was perhaps about twenty yeara
of age and verse 56 calls him e “atrip-
ling," hence it was that Saul'e armor
would not lit bint Icf. 10:21). Human,
ly apeaklng. it wai an impossible thing
David offered to accomplish single-
handed. Even Smtl (v 32) sought to
dissuade David, but David was not
trusting in man nor depending upon
the armor of the king (v. 39; Pe. 27:1-
8; las. 12:2; Rom. 8:31). David took
his familiar staff and eling (see 1
Thefts. 6:2’) and sallied forth, “strong
in the I-ord, not In himself; armed not
with steel but with faith." Crossing
"the valley" (v. 40 marg.) ha prepared
hla eling. with which every Israelite
was skilled (aer I 8am. 12:1923). On
came the giant, n man about nine feet
tall (v. 4). “a stalking mountain, over;
laid with brass and iron,” preceded by
his protector (v. 41). Why such a sol-
dier after his period of triumph should
desire this added safety is not quite
clear. It suggests, however, the sin-
ner's timidity which reveals his essen-
tial weuknesa in that he trusts him-
self. takes no chances, and is even sus-
picious of his own supporters. What
a contrast! This armored giant and
this ruddy-faced, unarmed youth, car-
rying only the staff, wherewith he waa
wont to fight wild beasta. and hla
eling! When God calls a man he utea
that weapon with which the man is
moat familiar, and when the church or
the Christian soldier seeks to fight In
the armor of another, or by using the
weapons of the world, it Is foredoomed
to failure (Ex. 4:2; Judges 3:31).
II. Conquering Humility, vv. 45-51.
David acknowledged Goliath'a su-
perior armament, yet armed with the
name of the Clod of the army of Israel
which Goliath had insulted, his confi-
dence overtops that of the Philistine
and be hurls back his bwoud boaat.
Furthermore, the victory wai to be an
immediate one. “this day" (Zech. 4:6;
James 4:7). With calm assurance he
informs Goliath of tho outcome of
their conflict, but takes no credit to
himself. David bad naught but naked
faith and the sense of a Just cause to
■trengthen bis arm. Ha would do to
Goliath and the Philistines the things
that Goliath had boasted he would do
to David (vv. 44 and 46) "that all the
earth may know that there it a God
ia Israel;" see also v. 47. David's
asemlngly insufficient preparation ia
now revealed to be abundant, for be
had four atones more than ha needed
(T. 40). It Is (hue that God chooses
the weak things to confound ths mighty
U Cor. 1:27).
III. Summary. We have before us
three lessons. Fire* the lesson of Indl-
vidual responsibility. A sinful king had
paralysed the effectivenese of the
army ot Israel. David, ‘‘a man after
God’s own heart,” refuted 8tuTs ar-
mor, crying out "I cannot go in these."
Baul, bound by tradition, must use
conventional weapons. Every greet
advance In the history of the church
hae been led by tome man who atruek
out boldly, insensible alike to the con-
rentlonaliem of his friends and the
gibes of the enemy. God would have
every man work according to himself,
not copying, not imitating, but with his
own equipment. Second, all the giants
of tin have not yet been overthrown.
We atill have the giants of Intemper
anee, Unchastily, Graft, Selfishness.
Ambition and tht Inequalities of out
civic and social life. These can only
ho overcome In the strength of God
Bunyan mentions three giants,
Pride, Grim and Pagan; to theaa wt
may add, Anger, Untruthfulnese. Belt
