HOW TO HAVE A SUCCESSFUL
UNION.
BY CLARA H. ODER.

The first and greatest foe we have to
meet in our denomination is lukewarm
ness in those who claim to be of our
faith. And so it is with our Unions. We
want workers and earnest workers. We
can better work those who fight us, who
are bitterly opposed to US, and can more
quickly gain their assistance than We
can those who are favorably inclined
and occasionally look in to see how the
Union is getting along.
The Unioner who says "Oh yes, be-
long to the Union, but don't go very
often. or havn't been in long time" is
detriment to auy Union and their name
better be stricken from the list.
Lukewarmness is foe of little energy,
but one that takes hard work and long
perseverance to overcome. So l place
earnestness as the first needful element
to make a successful Union. Earnest
ness that our Union may be one of the
best; earnestness that our church may
advance; earnestness that Christ's work
may go on until each and all shall have
reached the perfection of the "fullness
of the stature of Christ"
Next on my list is interest. 1t is
necessary to have every member inter
ested in the Union work. But some
may ask. "How create this INTEREST,""
By putting every Unioner to work. Civ
ing each one something to do, and max
ing each one feel that they are of i'm
portance to the welfare of the Union.
If your Union is small and you have
little people among your number give
them something to do and make them
feel that they. too, are responsible for a
prosperous Union. We have such in our
Union,-ive, which, il we we're stronger
would be 10 the Junior Union. A short

DAvID'S GRATITUDE TO GOD.
Lesson XI.-September 10, 1896.
INTRODUCTION.

We stand for moment at the
threshold of our lesson and glance over
the Old Testament Psalter as whole.
1t is the Hebrew temple hymn book. 1t
is collection of worshipful utterances
which grew through the ages.-Its au-
thor, as the experts tell US, is probably
but in small part David's. Yet because
he struck the key-note to which all these
rhythmic utterances are set, the entire
collection may still be properly and gen.
orally designated as the Psalms Of
David. Certain of the psalms we may
believe were written after the return
from the exile; some may be by the
weight of evidence assigned to the later
Maccabean period. Manifestly the He
brew temple hymn book which comes to
our hands must be the hymn book in it's
latest form,-the one which was used in
the temple of the time of Christ. Such
a hymn-book would naturally be a
treasury of things new and old.-But
this fact does not touch the essential
value of the Psalms. The Psalms. as
worshipful utterances, are unequalled in
the literature of the ages. No other
poems, of whatever age, so directly
recognize the vital presence of God;
none so penetrate the human heart
That David confessedly stands at the
head of the Hebrew poets who have thus
uniquely sung to Jehovah, is an import
ant fact of his wonderful life. We do
not beco me acquainted with the real
David, except we feel the fusing power
OF his inspired muse.

LESSON STORY.

1t is reasonable conjecture that the
psalm of David which is assigned for
our lesson-passage was first written
about midway in the reign of David, be-
fore his life had been darkened by deep
transgression, and that it was after.
wards, in his last years. reproduced, and
sung by the tabernacle choir, as the
kings expression of what had been
dominant in his entire public life.
This psalm is substantially the same
as the eighteenth psalm of the psalter;
and there is difference enough between
the two renderings to lead scholars to
infer that neither is directly copied from
the other-a supposition which coin
cides with the conjecture that the origi-
nal psalm was written by David in the
days of his prosperity, and that it was
in his last days published as his com
prehensive expression of gratitude to
Jehovah.
-Wepause to glance at some things
in the last days of David. The author
OF Chronicles Il Chron. 29:29) says: He
died IN a good old age, full of days,
riches and honor. AS his end drew
near hegave to Solomon Il Kings 2:1-1D
final charge. With utmost solemnity
he warned him to walk in the ways of
the Lord. as written in the laws Of
Moses. He gave to him special three
fold injunction: l. Concerning Joab,
now an old man. David charged Solo
mon: Do according to ting scisdom and
let not has boar head go dolon to the
grace IN peace. 2. Unto the sons of Bar
zillai the Giieadite.-Barzilai had heroi-
cally befriended the king in his fight
from Absalom-DaVid charged Solomon
to show kindness. 8. Unto Shimei,
who cursed David with grievous curse
when he was fleeing from Absalom, and
who on the kings triumphant return
made obeisance and was forgiven, David
said to Solomon: Hold him not guilt
ess. for thou art a a0ise man; and thou
a0iH knoao aohat thou oughtest to do
unto him, and thou shalt bring his
boar head dolon to the grace in blood.
Here is an enigma, that David should
in his last days sandwich a charge of
kind remembrance to benefactor be-
tween charges of vengeance against
enemies.
1t is fair to recall, however. that Joab,
although he had been for his military
genius retained in command of Israel's
army. had assassinated Abner and
Amasa. He was also. at more recent

GENERAL SURVEYING have
here psalm of David; il is specimen
of the utterances of his poetical genius.
The entire psalm q Sam. %: 1-51) is
almost identical with Psalm Is in the
Psalter. The minor variations are &C.
counted for by some scholars by the
supposition that psalm written in his
early years passed under David's own re-
vision when. late in his life. he offered it
to the temple choirs as the expression of
his prevailing faith in Jehovah. 1t as.
cribes gratitude to God for all the de-
liverances which marked his eventful
life. The whole lesson chapter should
be carefully read; our lesson passage is
only its concluding portion. David
gives praise for victories over Tsrael's
enemies, for deliverance from internal
dissensions, and for the apparently firm
establishment of the nation.-In Ro-
mans Q5:9) Paul quotes vs.. 80 of our
lesson passage as indicative of David's
provision of Universal Gospel.

TEACHING POINTS.

INTRoDUCTIoN.-After all the negatons of
criticism have been considered, we esteem
David as 1.-The sweet pSalmist of Israeli" who
stands at the head of all the religious pOets-
No other has sung such universal songs of wor-
ship; none has expressed such direct vision
of Jehovah; none has sung from such an IRE
slstible impulse. From The few psalms which
all scholarly criticism co 1cedes to Davld's hand,
we conclude that he had Unreasonable alb lily.
We concede the late origin of some of the
psalms of the Psalter; we must admit that some
psalms have probably been mistakenly ascribed
to David; we cannot doubt that his psalms must
in some cases, have been transformed to accord
with subsequent stages of progressive Ian
guage,-Yetiti is not reasonable to us to believe
that poet who could write the Requiem to
Saul and Jonathan, and the psalm we have for
our present lesson, would have been content to
write but seldom A real poet writes under a
cheerful necessity. David was surely real
poet. We think some critics have been too
Jealous In endeavOrlng to eliminate David from

sumo, we have an old mans "reminiscences of his

source of all its achievements and victories.

litical Affairs.
LONDON, FEB. 2.-Lord Salisbury's
remarkable speech at banquet Friday
night continues the talk of London.
Seldom has Premier spoken so freely,
or, it is thought so compromisingly.
The Transvaal, Venezuela and Ar
menia were touched upon in succession.
His declaration that he believed in the
Monroe doctrine as Monroe stated it
was Justify cheered by his audience.
With reference to Armenia the Pre-
mier was apologetic, finding much fault
with the Church people for their con-
slant urging of drastic action toward
the Turk. He declared that interfer-
enoe with the Sultan's administration
was fraught with greater peril than
any possible atrocities in Anatolia.
1t is this reference to Armenia which
is chiefly condemned, the Daily News
saying: What Lord Salisbury says is
not true, and will come as a last mes
sage of death, misery and despair to
those Armenians who have not yet suf-
fered death by torture for worshiping
Christ. Unless we are much mistaken.
it will be read with inexpressible shame
and disgust by thousands of decent men
and women in England"

The pending session Of Congress
promises to be most important and
far reaching in its consequences 10
the American people and to the com
mercial world. The inglorious defeat
OF the income tax, the steady increase
OF the treasury deficit, tend to produce
feeling of uneasiness and distrust in
the public mind. The whole matter
OF representa- t'on, and that also of
taxation, is quite likely to come up
Tor re-examination and is likely to be
reviewed from the standpoint of first
principles in civil government.
Already the air is filled with rumors
OF proposed amendments of the con.
stltution, and in some quarters it is
cited as being significant fAct that
