The R1SG's FAREWELL What a
great assembly was found gathered
together by the aged ruler. There
were the princes OF the tribes, the
captains OF the companies, the cap
tains OF thousands, the rulers over
all the substance ana possessions OF
the king, and the mighty men OF val
OF. What a brilliant assemblage
this would be in this modern
day when the high art tailors hide
a mans deformities, There never
was in past history a more respect
full gathering than this one. The
aged king arose and addressed the
gathering. ThereaFe thpe points IN
the address.
l.. The Kings Past.-He had been
called to a greatposition, from being
a shepherd boy TO be "A king OF a
mighty people. Let us never lose
sight Of this truth that God never
puts us in q position we cannot al,
put to often we fail TO DO what we
know the Almighty wants us 90 do.
So the old king stood before his
people as n Representation Of what
God a accomplish In "A man who
yields himself to God. Shall not we
yield ourselves to the Great Father

we will iii the largest place la life.
David still lives because he yielded
himself TO God.

IN this statement from the old king,
Whose life has not been eolored
with the roseate hues OF ideals nc

Every true Ideal has its influence
on the personality OF It's possessor,

God" David at one time Was led to
exelaim: Are not my tears written
IN thy book" Did not Christ realize
this when he spoke Of the woman

So bet ms never loose our ideals for
