TIE editor of the Nashville NT-,rs has
been Furnishing up his ancient history
evidently has been vcadiue rae EiJls--nnd
coming across the romantic story of the
first dusi-at least so fara tie records had
been kept at that early perio hats un-
dertaken to give it modern application.
"Sacrad History" therefore, is ;hus made
protane
When Goliah issued his challenge, it
would have been nice piece Of business,
had he objected to Dav;d's acceptance,
that sling loaded with pebble was II
Vulgar and bsrbarous weapon. Goliah
carried n sword whose hilt weighed more
than twenty pounds; and yet Saul, who
had some faint inklings of the "code,r we
suppose, tried to persuade David to use n
sword. The shrcwl shepherds hoy was
not so green. After "trying on" the Kings
nrmor he calmly remarked: II cannot go
with these, for have not proUsd them"
lie had not practiced with that sort of
weapon, and he knew very we'll that was
the instrument used by the giant of CATH
for he had heard he carried slaShing one.
aud that he WAS accompanied by some frt-
lows bearing a great wide shield. So
David did just what every man has right
to do under similar circumstances. He sc-
lected his own weapons, and brought down
the Philistine's greasy carcass. lie was
under no more obligation to use sword
than was Goiiah of Gath to nsc q sling,
had David challenged the PhiIistincs.-
And when he knocked the monsters trot-
ters from under him, he did it fairly. Had
David missed his aim. and had the giant
knocked him into small Jumps of dog feed
with one stroke of his great sword, that
would have been fair too. 1t was so re-
garded before refined lodging was invent
ed; and we read of no controversy ahout
this fight. On the contrary, those who
''pitted' Goliah, and stakci their interest
and reputation on his proves, complied
with the terms, and "knockcd under"
when the Philstines saw their champion
was dead, they fed
