WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBILc.
From the day when King David. lament.
ing tho plague hat was sweeping over
Israel. resolved to sacrifice unto the Most
High God that he might stay his hand. the
hill Of his sacrifice has been holy ground.
From the door Of the Kings house In
Jerusalem David looked W to- Mount Mo-
riah. His heart was heavy with the 10000
dead of Israel from Dan to Beersheba. and
the angel OF the Lord led him up the steep
to the thrashing floor Of Araunah. the
Jebusite. There would he sacrifice. and the
picture Of the King and the h~usbandman as
they met retains its charm Of majesty and
courtesy to this day. for David had taken
the city OF the Jebusites with the high
hand. and though he spared them they did
not love him.
When Araunah saw the King approach he
cowed down before him n asked him
what he willed. Tho King answered that
he would buy the thrashing door and build
an altar TO the Lord thereon. that the
plague might cease. and Araynah. "as .
King. answered the King that the place
should be the Kings. and his implements
would furnish nre for the altar and his
beasts food for the sacrincial flames. But
David, would not take 1t from the hauyhty
Jebusite az . gift, and forced payment on
Araunah-5o shekels Of silver. according
