Second Samuel.

Second Samuel.
King David was introduced in our
last lesson, and acted q prominent
part in the affairs of Isruel after he
was anointsd to be king. Saul's al
ternate admiration and treaehery to-
ward David was wonderful, but it APP
pears that David was more charita-
bic toward him than most modern
critics, for. more than once, be spared
his life when be could have slain him.
and, furthermore, his lament at hear
ing Of Sauls death, oh. /: 1929, does
not indicate spirit of revenge. Da-
vid'slovefor my brother iona than"
1: 26, has become proverbial. David
slew lion and q bear when he was a
boy, 1st Sam. II: SO, and was victo-
rious over the giant when but youth.
v: 1881. These facts proved his d.
vine call, and inspired the people
with confidence in him, but, at the
same time, they aroused the insane
jealousy Of King Saul. Saul's down.
fall and David's promotion to power
illustrates the facts that God does
not forget, that He is not slack, that
He will fulfill, though He is never in a
hurry. David. with his capital at
Hebron, reigned as King over the
tribe OF judah seven and one-half
years, and reigned at Jerusalem over
all Israel, thirty-three years. He was
a man Of war, but the rebellion OF his
son Absolum was certainly the dark
est page OF his biography; which
proved almost too much for the poet
ic king. This, it appears. was a par
tial fulfillment of Nathan's prophecy.
IL: 0-12, and the punishment for
David'sgreat sin in having Uriah kill
ed to get his wife. Nathan said to
David, Thou art the man." verse 7.
This was the great sin of David's life.
LIST Kings Is: 5, and all of 81 Psalm,
and especially verse 4. The 32d
Psalm expresses his JOY at forgiveness.
King David was again reproved for
his conduct, "a: 1, IA, II, but still We
are assured that THE sweet Psalmist
OF Israel" Yves guided by ssthe spirit
OF the Lord" %: 1, 2, and his inter
national uttsrance, He that ruleth
over men must be just, ruling in the
lear OF God, %: 8, should be Impress
ed upon every ruler in the world. But
what does he mean when he continues,
although my house be not so with
God?" v. 5. Probably at least one
halt OF the Psalms were written by
David, and many OF them are, no
doubt, reflections from his spiritual
diary. But to review, the prophecy
and promised blessings to the house
OF David, 7: ID, 16, refer not alone to I
solomon, but certainly to Christ, az
the eternal and universal ruler from
the throne OF David. Notwithstand-
ing Joab's sharp rebuke, 10. 6. about
which critics may differ, his great sin
and errors, all were forgiven, rs. 81:

cHuRcHooINn IN oLpEN TIMES

Attendants at Divine Service Used to
Have . vsry ssoiabls Season.
Sir Walter Besant writes whimsical
ly, giving a glimpse of ohurchgoing a
couple of hundred years ago. He says:
did you ever 80 to church in the
year 1903? I bsve just come from
service at st. Stephens, Walbrook. a
Sunday moTping service in that year.
The congregation began to arrive
quarter Of an hour or SO before the
service commenced. The ladies were
dressed finely. A footman or a page
or an apprentice walked behind them
carrying their prayerbooks; he pre-
ceded them up the aisle, opened the
door of their pew and placed the books
on the desk before the seats. This
gallery, where the domestics sat. The
women in the pew stood up and ex-
changed smiles Of greeting with their
acQuaintances; with those in the pews
before and behind they conversed
openly; the church was filled with the
buzz of conversation. When the SER
vice began a great many, to show
their devoutness, repeated everything
out aloud, even the absolution and the
verses assigned to the clergymen. They
even read out loud the lessons Of the
day and the gospel and epistle. Some
of the people continued to talk to each
other from one pew to the other. A
psalm, not hymn, was sung. and only
one. During the singing most Of the
people sat down. After the service
was over the congregations renewed
their civilities toward each other and
their conversation on things of the
most worldly kind. My companion la
mented the ill-timed talk of the people
and the foolish habit of repeating the
whole service out loud; as for sitting
while the psalm was sung he said it
was to be excused on the ground that
the version was miserable. Besides,
1t was custom so inveterate that
there was no hope of getting 1t al
tered. Yet when went to church with
Hegafth thirty years later the people
all stood up for the singing. How and
when was the custom changed? How
long did the people continue reading
the service aloud? And when was the
practice of conversation and the ex-
change of civilities before the service
discontinued?"

Besoher on Influence.

Mr.. Beecher one day attended a

newspapers criticised him for so doing.
A few days later, while he was sitting
on the edge of the platform in his lee
ture-room, young church officer said
to him: Il don't believe there is any
harm in billiards, but don't you think
you injured your influence by attend
ing the game" Mr.. Beecher tucked
one Of his legs under the other, and,
nursing one knee, said slowly: i've
noticed all my life that ministers who
are always taking care of their in
fuence never have much influence to
take care of. Very early in my minis
try made up my mind to take care of
my work and let the Lord take care
of my influence. Those ministers who
keep looking behind them to see what
