Those were men OF heartfelt devotion.
David communed with God often without
spoken words. This man has spoken
words enough, but there Is sad dearth OF
communion. Aud did you observe the
classification Of mankind he was Just now
makingY Il occurred to mo that his was
more exclusive even than that Of Indian

But am to say all condemnatory OF the

slightly commendatory. He gave; gave

have heard OF the wants OF Gods cause.

confess that increasing years bring
with them an increasing respect for men
who have not succeeded In life, rs those
words are commonly used. Heaven Is
said to be place for those who have not
succeeded on earth; and Il Is sure that &C.

success sometimes arises from u super

from conscience too sensitive, taste too

The parallels OF our Lord were called
