temple is nevertheless counted in his favor.
Although the temple David had seen in his Vs.

to be rewarded as the originator of the INVISIBLE
temple. That he was not ali wed by prophetic
and priestly consent to build the temple, was
not to be by him construed as the disfavor of
Deity.-His reign was to prosper, and long

manifest fact.

LESSON STORY.

The time had come when David was
impressed with the thought that he
should, out of his accommodating wealth,
build temple in Jerusalem to Jehovoh
that would, by it's SURPRISING magnif-
cence and appearance of permanency,
express to the world both the greatness
and perpetuity of Israel's faith.
All surface appearances seemingly
favored this enterprise. David had been
uniformly victorious against his exter-
nal enemies; the name of Israel was now
held in awe by all the envious Gentiles.
He had also greatly strengthened and
adorned Jerusalem; his capital was reck-
oned among the splendid cities of the
earth. He had completed the building
of his palace on Mount Zion; his royal
residence was as magnificent as art
could devise and wealth procure. He
had also, in connection with the ark of
the covenant, instituted an imposing
ceremonial worship. The scattered
priesthood was restored to its priestly
office. The musicians, as Asaph. Heman
and Ethan, with instrumental accom-
paniments. rendered the national psalms.
-David's own psalms being models for
all the others,-with such volume and
harmony, such charm of strophe and
anti-strophe, as had never before capti-
waited human ears and ravished human
hearts. The king had Furthermore be-
come renowned for his administration of
justice; he was loved for his paternal in
terest in his peoples welfare. Such was
David's wonderful prosperity.
Readily would the question rise in an
observer: Why should not this prosper
Gus and happy king add to his own glory
the building of temple in Jerusalem to
Jehovah,-a grand stone temple, more
enduring and magnificent than his own
palace, temple which will declare to
the world the greatness and permanency
of the religion Of Israel?
This query rose in David.
He sent for the prophet Nathan, that
he might consult with him on matter
30 vital to the future of Israel. Nathan
came to the king, Now for the first time
in the pages of history we see this nota-
BILE prophet; one of the most consecrated
and courageous servants Of righteous
ness of all the ages.

said David to him. dtoeH in a house of
cedar, but the ark of God d,1elleth NTH
an curtains. Cedar, the vari-colored,
gnarl-grained, aromatic wood Of the
giant trees of Mount Lebanon, was ia
David's day the metaphor of tasteful
luxury. For the king to live in a house
OF cedar while the ark of God was shelf
cred by paltry tent, did not seem to the
generous heart of David to be congruous
or reverent.
The response of Nathan was prompt,
Go, and do all that is Ia thine heart for
the Lord is Nth thee.
The prophet spoke as a man of the
world would speak, when guided by WISH
BILE appearances.

GODS PROMISE TO DAVID.
Lesson Iv.-July IS, 1896.
INTRODUCTION.

We have in our lesson to-day TIE
first glimpse of the prophet Nathan. He
is one of the notable and admirable
characters of the Old Testament history.
He is faithful servant Of the Inner
Voice. Concerning his early life we
have no direct information; but it is
probable that he was a member of the
school of prophets founded by Samuel.
He had, at our lesson. date, attained to
such a reputation as man of God that
David summoned him for advice in re-
gard to the building of temple in Jer
usalem. There we're other men of God
on whom David might have called.
There were at this time two high priests,
Abiathar of his own appointment, now
living in Jerusalem. and Zadok, of Saul's
appointment. at this period serving in
the old tabernacle at Shiloh; each high
priest holding the Office by such right
that the other could not be deposed.
There was also the prophet Cad. who
had long been David's spiritual adviser.
The fact that David, passing by these
men, sought divine guidance through
Nathan, is evidence OF the high estimate
placed npon this prophet After
giving direction and prophecy concern
ing the temple Nathan disappears from
view, to reappear to David as Judge in
the hour of his guilt. His fearlessness
in declaring judgment upon the fallen
king, and the subsequent tempering of
his severity with forgiveness when the
king had repented of his sin. prove Nath-
an to be one of the most faithful expon-
ents of the eternal equity Nathan
was influential throughout the reign of
David. He wrote annals of his period.
which, while unfortunately lost to us in
their original form. probably form in
part the basis Of the history preserved
to US in Kings and Chronicles. His
sons, Salad and Asariah, held high
offices in Solomon's court.

Tin Cans and Old Shoes.

On every dumping ground where the
city contractors of Brooklyn place their
ashes, one may see constantly Italians
working hard leveling the heaps. as load
after load is deposited, and carefully
placing the tomato cans and other cast
off pieces of tinware in piles by them
selves. The contractors do not object if
the householders put old cans among
the ashes, for this insures careful
leveling by the Italians at the dumping
grounds at no expense to the contract
ors. The revenue from these cans that
are collected by the hundreds and thous-
ands is matter of surprise to most
persons. A two. horse load brings from
Sc to S. 1t takes several days of hard
work to get big wagon load, but the
Italians don't seem to mind the labor of
it, for there is money Immediately in
sight as the piles of tin cans grow. They
watch jealousy their picking grounds,
and sometimes make special arrange
ments with the contractors for the priv
lege of scraping and raking the ash
heaps over. The tin cans are sold to
men with furnaces. who place them in a
big caldron, and under slow fire melt
the tin and solder and run that part off
for future use and sale. Almost all the
tin and solder is saved by this process,
and is salable for use in making more
cans for preserving vegetables. The
heat is then made intense, and the iron
that remains is melted and cast into
sash weights. The demand for these
old cans is said to be greater than the
supply, and one of the most valuable
of the scavenger privileges that the It.
alians in large cities assume is that Of
working over an ash dump. The Ital-
ians also collect old bits of leather in
heaps. Old shoes of large size are al
ways special delight to them. A wag-
on load of them is always salable for
use in making lamp-black. There are
other sources of profit in ash heaps. but
the chief sources of revenue to those
who pull them to pieces are the cans and
the shoes.-Neso York Sun.
