to the rejected Christ unless under the
pressure of debt, sorrow and dis
content. How marvellous the attraction
that drew Saul's own kin to him.
The conditions of following Christ were the
same now as 800 years ago, when ms lol-
lowers forsook father and mother and FOL
lowed him. The principle that enabled
men to do this was faith and love- Oh
serve what Is said of these men, using
both the right hand and the left in handling
stones" Many were using the left hand
for God and the right hand for the world.
We wanted 200 men.
THE SECOND MEN
mentioned were the Gadites, linen of war
fit for battle" whose faces were like the
faces of lions. and who are swift as the roes
upon the mountains. This passage seemed
to be fultillment of prophecies concerning
God in Genesis and Deuteronomy. If we
kept our faces toward the Dord they will be
like the faces of lions. Young men who
wished to be as bold as lions and as fleet as
roes In the work must conse-
crate themselves wholly to God
The third men mentioned were the chill
dren OF Benjamin. ''If ye come peaceably
unto Me, My heart shall be knit unto you"
NO promise OF reward here. but My heart
shall be knit untu YOU" Such was the
promise of Christ. Let sacrifices for Him
recall David's expression.
The next mentioned were the children
OF Benjamin who had kept ward in the
house of Saul" Here were men who held
places of honor and riches, and yet they
were drawn to the rejected David. Was
there no significance in this for us? We
should esteem all things as loss except the
knowledge of the Lord Jesus.
THE CHILDREN OF GsAcHAR
came also; men who had understanding of
the time" There was great need Of wisdom
in the transaction of the business of the as
sociacion. He was glad there were so many
of our solid business men giving the benefit
of their wisdom to the work. The day de-
manded integrity and earnestness. IF
any man lack wisdom let him ask of God"
''Of Zebulum there came $4,000 fighting
men which could keep rank" The trouble
with many associations was they could not
keep rank" There was discord, envy
ings, jealousies and ''crank folks" Fulfill
the new commandment, that We love one
another"
Of the last that came there were women
and children bringing offerings. But all came
with one purpose-to crown David king.
Small personal services would be re-
warded at the second coming of Christ.
There was no act of service in this work that
would be forgotten Men talked about the
immortal thoughts of Shakespeare and
Plato, but the only immortal thoughts were
those recorded in the great book above.
Saving souls to swell the glory of heaven
was helping to crown t e Lord. s.
