DAvIps LOVE FOR GODS HOUSE
Lesson x.-september 6, 1896.
INTRODUCTION.

Some men Of old endeavored to per
petuate their fame by splendid sepul-
chres. Pharaohs endeavored to perpetu-
ate their names in massive pyramids.
Many in our day prepare 10 life to re-
mind men Of themselves after life is
over by costly stone monuments. David,
therefore, in his desire to build himself
a monument that would remain after
his body had been given back to the
dust, exhibited specifically human
trait.--But in his choice of monu-
ment he was peculiar. He coveted no
splendid sepulchre, no massive pyramid,
no stone monument. The monument
he preferred was temple dedicated to
God. He was content that the temple
should bear, as its builder, another
name than his own. In many ways was
David great; here is an aspect OF his
greatness we ought not to overlook. He
would hide himself in temple and be-
hind another name. He was great in
self -abnegation.

The Care of the Temper.

Temper" is valuable possession, but
it is one that requires careful handling
It's wise use. or it's misuse, is test of its
user rather than of itself. II confess that
lost my temper said one of the par
ties in an unpleasant discussion. "And
l confess that found my temper" said
the other party. 1t is we'll to know that
we have temper. which requires watch
ing, so that we shall not find it out un-
expectedly. And when we know that
we have temper that needs watching,
it is important that we be on guard lest
we lose control at critical moment.
We cannot have too strong temper. if
we know it's existence, and never lose
control of it.-Sunday School Times.

TEACHING POINTS.

INTRoDUCTIoN.-The essential greatness of
David appears in this lesson. He lived in the
hope that one who was to come OTTER him would,
under more favorable clrcum stances. do better
than he had ns.-In his last days David
was profoundly religious. He turned with I'M
speakable longing to the Lord, The God of Is
rael.-Israel was the only place in the Orien-
tai world where there was King recognized
above the earthly king.
ID v.6-1O. David Forbidden to Build
the Temple. The Spirit spoke to David
through Nathan in exact Interpretation of the
nature of things. David's age was not an age
of peace. He could not safely give his attention
to temple building, or become absorbed 10 its
destinations. He could not, being man of war,
be an expert in architecture. He had his own
work to do; more elementary work, and then
more essential than temple-buildiny to the ma
tion.-But like many father who has himself
wrought under untoward circumstances, he
hoped he should have his lfe-plan carried to
completion In one who would come after him,
bone of his bone and flesh of his fiesh.---Da-
vid is old and decrepit: he makes TO Solomon
a solemn charge, as of the dying to the living.

GENERAL SURVEY i 1t re-
quired the utmost urgency Of Joab to
rouse David from the lethargy into
which he was thrown by the death of
Absalom q Sam 1919. Shimei who
cursed David was. as matter OF policy,
forgiven; yet his insult ranked in
David's heart z Sam. 19:18-23). Mep-
hibosheth, Jonathan's son, was impa-
tiently and partially forgiven q Sam.
1924 30). There was formidable re-
bellion of the northern tribes instituted
by Sheba, against which Amasa, who
had been Absalom's general, was ap-
pointed to lead the army of Israel; this
awakened Joab's jealousy, and he as
sassinated Amasa, and then himself led
the kings army against the rebels.
Sheba was betrayed and beheaded by
his followers q Sam. 20: 1927 There

granted the demand, devoting for the
inhuman sacrifice seven of Sauls des-
cendants, exempting the descendants of

deavored to excuse this barbarism by
special honors to the bones of Saul and

against the king by his son Adoniiah,
similar to Absalom's and the old war
rior Joab gave his favor to Adonijah.
Because Adonijah was manifestly unfit
in personal character to be king, David.
by Nathan's advice, caused Solomon to
be declared king. to serve jointly with
himself; and in this choice of Solomon
the people concurred 1t was in the sea-
son of peace which followed these agita-
tions that David made the declarations
to Solomon, of which our lesson pas
sage is specimen.

LESSON STORY.

A memorable scene in the life of
David comes to us from the original an
nalist through the Book of Chronicles.
We see David in the royal audience
room. with Solomon his son standing be-
fore him. to hear his final CHARGE; which
will be to Solomon as his fathers last
will and testament.
David is now seventy years old; but
because of his life of strain and tumult,
and especially because of his self-con-
formations and anxieties in his later
years. he is permaturely old. A lethargy
has been of late creeping over his body
His mind has not been active as in
other days. He knows that his earthly
end draws near. He has already be-
queathed his throne to Solomon; he has
even raised him to joint participation in
the administration of the government.
Solomon is barely twenty years old.
While to his father life is now almost
entirely thing of the past with him it
is as yet reckoning future. He has
surely been born to splendid inheri-
lance. He has been shielded from all
rough usage. He has had all the adj
vantages of training possible to any
mortal in his day. He has even thus
early in life. shown such wisdom in pub
lie affairs that the nation now turns to
him with confident hope.
While the young Solomon, with expec-
fancy and reverence. stands before his
father to receive his final charge, let us
in rapid retrospect review the recent
years of David's life.
We last beheld David in NJ ,hanaim
when his agonizing grief for Absalom
was fresh upon him. He was for sea
son oblivious of his royal duties; he took
no note of passing events. From this
passive state he was aroused by Joab,
who bravely warned him that its con
tinuance would endanger his crown.

THIS Is CIRCUS DAY.
Route Over Which the Parade Will
Pass This Morning.

This ts circus day, as well as knight
Templar day in Scranton and to the
youth, perhaps, the former fact seems
the most important Of the two. The
Barnum and Bailey show will arrive
early this morning, and will pitch its
tents on the old fair grounds on the
Providence road, near the base ball
park. 1t Is coming from Wilkes Barre
over the Delaware and Hudson The
street parade will leave the grounds
and come down as far as Penn avenue
and Vine street, about ten o'clock,
where it will wait for the knights
Templar to move out of the way, so as
not to interfere with the fine military
display. and will take the time to put
flags in the chariots, 1t being impossible
to bring them under the Carbon street
bridge fully decorated. The circus will
move on as soon as the knights have
started. The parade will follow the
Knights down Franklin avenue, up
Lackawanna avenue, and Adams ave-
nue. to Spruce street. where it win turn
and go to Penn avenue, then to Car
bon street, and back to the grounds.
The exhibitions will be given at .
o'clock in the afternoon and s o'clock
at night, but the man who wants to see
the entire show--to study the wonder
full Johanna, to watch ths interesting
exhibition of life on the other side of the
world given In the oriental India viii
!age. and to hear the fine concert by
Carl Clair's military orchestra and Miss
Jessie Millar. will come an hour earlier
and take time in the menagerie pavil-
lion and the big top" inspecting the
novel and entertaining exhibits at his
leisure.

More About Supt. Taylor's Salary.

VI Inc lTlpune.
Sir:-It has been currently reported that
the purpose OF electing county superin-
tendent, made the motion to raise the sal
ary from 5000 to s3,Gc0 The truth Is
know Mr.. Cure was opposed to raising The
salary because we sat side by side during
the convention and conversed together
about II. After the voting had commenced
Mr.. Cure whispered to me and said that he
was afraid the motion CT 81 900 would carry
ana my reply was that they were soi,fs
Ike sheep over u wall.
Long before his name was called II was
evident what the result would be. When
Mr.. Cures name was called he voted Tor
the motion on purpose, as back lire
that he might be in u position to move fer
before the convention again and by 80
doing keep the salary where II belonged.
For SO moving Mr.. Cure was severely
scored by man who was in favor OF
raising the salary After Mr. Cure hal
moved for n reconsideration which was
the only motion he made. and 1t was
seconded, not a director spoke in favor Cf
his motion and 1t was lost by a vote OF
~ to 30 odd.
Now 20 report that Ar. Cure mad, the
motion to raise the salary or that ne voted
for 1t because he wanted It raised Is un-
Just. because ! know 1t Is untrue. l make
this statement not because | am particu-
larly Interested in MIR. Cure. but In the
straightforwardness is to be ignored, un-
Just :mpttatiOns and treachery 10 be re-
warded, what inducement is there for
honesty? Half the truth Is always "a lie.
