While we cannot now have such a regard for
the ark as the old Israelites possessed, while
we could not in the degree they did make it a
fetish, we can see the propIiety of guarding the
chest of holy relies from famlliarity.-Uzzah's
putting his hand on the ark is sign that the
ark had not been held in peculiar awe while in
his house,-The shifting of God was purely

THE ARK BROUGHT TO JERU-
SALEM,
Lesson III.-Julv 10. 1896.
INTRODUCTION.

In the day when belief in omens
was universal, when every Oriental
carried his talisman, when charms were
supposed to be more curative than
fresh air and pure water, it was natural
that Israel should ascribe magical
power to it's chest of relics. Such senti-
timental faith is in it's place powerful.
1t is to be respected wherever it is held
in sincerity. The old superstition is in
essence identical with the modern belief
in amulets. When we, out of the glass
house of modern Christendom, cast
stones at ancient Israel, for regarding
the ark of the covenant as fetish. it
may be we'll for us to remember how
many Christians of our day believe
in the crucifix and in relics of saints
as having magical qualities In
jesus teaching concerning Gods
spirituality and omnipresence we
have positive contradiction of the as
sumption that Gods dwelling place was
in any exclusive sense between the
cherubim above the lid of the ark
Israel's Ideal is the abundant correc-
tion of Israel's pardonable superstition,
pardonable because in the early stages
of spiritual evolution inevitable.

LESSON STORY.

The Ark of the Covenant was
the chest made in the wilderness to be
the repository of the most sacred en-
blems and relics of Israel. 1t is des
cribed as three feet nine inches in
width and height; it was made of en-
during acacia wood. and plated with
gold within and without, and covered
with lid of solid gold. At each end of
this golden lid rose a golden cherub.
These cherubim faced each other, with
wings outspread, bending downward to-
ward the ark. According to the He
brew's belief, God himself dwelt in the
space between the cherubim, resting
upon their wings. How they reconciled
this belief with their faith that Gods
presence fills the sky and earth we can
not explain. 1t was perhaps self con-
tradiction in Israel's religion which was
never susceptible of rational explanation,
and was therefore in due time out
grown.
This valuable chest served as the ar.
chive of the nation. In it were kept the
two stone Law-Tables from Sinai, a
memorial pot of mama from the wilder
ness, the rod of Aaron, which was the
symbol of priestly authority.
Two gold rings were attached to the
body of the ark on each side; through
these rings we're passed slaves or poles of
acacia wood; these poles, which were
never taken from their places. we're for
use whenever sanctified hands removed
the ark from place to place.
The ark was the token of the covenant
which united Jehovah and his people.
1t was thought of as the shekinah. the
very presence of God.
1t was to the early Isfaelites the most
precious and the most awful object
which the world contained.
About seventy years before our
lesson.date, in the war of Israel against
the Philistines, the ark was taken to the
battlefield in the expectation that it
would insure victory for Israel. But
the Philistines overpowered the army of
Israel, killing thirty thousand warriors,
also the two sons of the high priest Eli,
Hophni and Phinehas, and completed
Israeps humiliation by capturing and
bearing away the ark Il Sam. A. When
the news was told to the aged Eli, the
mention of the loss of the ark was to
him death stroke; he fell dead man,
The ark remained seven months in the
possession of the Philistines. 1t was,
however, regarded by these superstitious
people as to them an ill-omen. In the
hope of propitiating the anger of Israel's
Jehovah the lords of the Philistines re-
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-07-11

turned the ark to Israel, on a new cart,
or car, drawn by cows, and accompanied
by expensive peace-offerings.
The ark was received by the people Of
Beth shemish, city of Judah eleven
miles southwest from Jerusalem. The
men of Beth-shemish were prompted by
curiosity to look into the ark; the result
was fearful shifting of many of the
people with death. The men of Beth
shemish were therefore alarmed; they
sent to the men of Kiriah- jearim, a for
est city three miles at the northward.
asking them to come and take away the
ark. The men Of Kiriath- jearim, not
having such fear of the presence of the
ark as their southern neighbors, brought
it for safe keeping to their obscure-vill-
age. 1t was given to the keeping of Lev
lite named Abinadab, whose house was on
hill; and Abimalech's son Eleazar was
by priestly ceremonies set apart to guard
and keep the sacred chest, until priest
ly demand should be made for it's sur
render.
And the ark had remained in hiding
seventy years in the house of Abinadab.
This fact signifies the lapsed religious
interest which had prevailed under
Saul's military reign.
1. The Ark Brought Toward
Jerusalem with Rejoicing, - vs..
Is.
AS soon as David after ascending his
throne had rest from his external enc
mics, he summoned a national assembly
to decide on the question whether the
ark should be brought to Jerusalem.
The representatives of the people. both
military and priestly, enthusiastically
voted that the ark, with befitting pomp,
should be brought to Jerusalem, and
Jerusalem thus be made the religious as
we'll as the political capital of Israel Il

jearim, or Baale Judah. The Abinadab
family recognized the authority of those
who demanded the sacred chest; and
two of the family. Uzzah and Ahio, were
delegated to have charge of the car
which had been brought to convey the
ark to Jerusalem.
This car was two wheeled, and drawn
by oxen,-the OK being from immemorial
times in the far East devoted or sacred
animal.
The journey was begun with festal
gladness. All the musical instruments
then in use.-of which harps and psal-
teries and timbrels and castinete are
specially mentioned.-were employed to
make the march triumphal procession.

GENERAL SURVEY. - After
David had become established on his
throne by military power, he determined
to bring the ark of the covenant from
the obscure place in which it had lain,
about seventy years, since its return by
the Philistines Il Sam vii, ~ and to
make for it tabernacle in Jerusalem;
thus making the city the religious as
we'll as political capital of Israel. With
thirty-thousand chosen men he went to
Kirjathjearim, eight miles westward,
and taking the ark from the house of
Abinadab. started with it in imposing
array toward Jerusalem. On the way,
Uzzah, descendant of Abinadab, put
his hand upon the ark, which he had no
lawful right to do Mum. iv, 15); the re-.
suit was the immediate death of Uzzah.
This event instantly turned the gala
scene to one of CONSERVATION. David
was so shocked that he feared he was
committing sacrilege in attempting to
move the ark. He commanded it to be
carried to the house of Obededom, near
Jerusalem. Here it remained three
months. Then David. beholding that
there was no evil coming to Obed edom
because of the presence of the ark,
caused the holy relic to be brought to
Jerusalem.
The Universalist. [volume] (Chicago [Ill.]) 1884-1897, 1896-07-11

salem had been almost reached; then q
most unexpected and memorable event
caused the march to be suspended. The
way led along the side of threshing-
fioor,-which was raised level plot Of
about fifty feet diameter made smooth
for the threshing Of grain by trampling
Of cattle. There was canting of the
car on the bank; there was a stumbl-
ing Of the oxen; there was apparent
danger that the ark would fall to the
ground.
Uzzah, to steady the ark, placed his
hand upon it.
A sacrilege! A cry must have gone
up from the whole company Of priests
1t was forbidden that any hands what
ever should touch the ark.
Uzzah himself was struck with such
CONSERVATION THAT he Immediately be-
came dead man. According to the
thought and speech of Israel, he was
smitten Of God because of his error.
The shock caused panic through ali
the procession. David was at first impa-
tient at the delay; but displeasure
speedily became fear. David acas afraid
of the Lord that day.
He named the place where the touch
ing of the ark had wrought such start
ling result, The Breach of Uzzah; equiv
alent to The Folly of Uzzah. By this
name the spot, the historian tells US,
was still known six hundred years after
wards.
David was apprehensive that Jeho.
vah's displeasure had been incurred by
his attempt to make Jerusalem the ma.
tons shrine. By his command the ark
was sent ito the house of Obed edom, a
Levite living near Jerusalem. Obed-
edom fearlessly received the ark into his
house.
3. The Ark a Means of Bless
ing,-vs. IL, r.
When three months had passed the
general panic had subsidized. David re-
gained his assurance. The desire to
make Jerusalem the center of the ma
tons worship was revived in him. When
it was told him that the house of Obed.
edom had prospered while tie ark was
in its keeping, he was favorably inn
pressed with the omen. He had learned
meanwhile that the old law was violated
in the former attempt to bring the ark in
a car, after the example of the Philis.
tines. The old law Mum. 7: 81 declared
that only the sons of Kohath should
move the ark, and that they should bear
it upon their shoulders.
David therefore. having meanwhile
built a tabernacle for worship in his
capital. organized another procession for
| the bringing the ark from the house of
Obed edom to Jerusalem. At the head
of the procession, having charge of the
ark. were hundred and twenty of the
sons of Kohath, Uriel being their chief
Il Chron. 15: 81. This procession, alike
as military pageant, musical display,
and as an array of Levites, surpassed
| the first. The psalm of David which is
still extant Il Chron. 16: 1867 was sung
on the route; and it is tradition which
has much to support ii that the Twenty
fourth Psalm. with its refain,-
| Lift up your heads, ye gates.
And be We lift up. e everlasting doors,
And the King of glory shall come In.
was sung as the procession entered the
city.
