LESSONS FRcM AesALoms LIFE
Ia Hanover Presbyterian Church last
night the Rev. William l.. Freund, tho
pastor. preached an interesting sermon on
the life of Ahsalom. Tho preacher de-
Quoted these important lessons from his
study of the SON OF David He said that
in looking al that life everyone should
ask themselves whether or not they could
stand life of luxury and ease. of sue
cess and prosperity. Hardness, poverty
and adversely. as history has proved, are
often the uplifting OF men, but il is sell
dom that success aud prosperity have
brought about the moral uplifting Of man.
Another lesson To he learned is that
everyone should be careful of the friend
ships they form. for in large measure
Absalom' life was made according TO his
friends, until he became the greatest liar
aud deceiver % fsrgl Everyone should
be- careful TO choose only those for friends
who appeal 10 that which is good true
and noble in them. mo- mattcr what their
I'LL res u
teleci may Dee. for often those of ability
and bright utellocts do not appeal 10 the
moral nature Of anyone.
The third lesson Is that everyone should
learn 10 resist temptation. to take mat
ters into their own hands and do things
immediately without waiting for Gods
time. The temptation for a man 10 do
things in his own way and not Gods is
thing that frequently occurs 10 an and il
should bee resisted.
