come back to its equipoise ic God. He
had resumed his old attitude of waiting
only upon God, and directing all mis-
expectation to him, and, therefore, he
refused TO take one step toward the
throEs apart from the direct Divine in
pulse"
At this great crisis of his own and his
country's career. David acted reverently
and wisely. AS man of faith he humbly
sought the guidance of God. He felt that
his opportunity had come. but he would
not seize his opportunity without a
prayer TO God. He desired God to lead
him.
He did not rush in where angels might
fear to tread. His pathway was still
beset with difficulties. If he had ever
needed God to keep him from going
wrong it was at that moment. II he
had gone back anywhere into the bor-
ders OF Israel he might have been re-
jected, even by his own tribe of Judah,
and have Immediately precipitated civil
war. So he said to God. probably through
Abiather. the high priest. who was with
his company. and who had with him an
ephod and the Urim and Thumimino.
Shall I go up into any of the cities
of Judah?'' And Jehovah said unto him,
60 up" And he said whittier shall
go up?" And he said. Unto Hebron. -
Hebron was the central and capital
city OF the tribe, and a city of many
sacred memories and associations. There
Abraham had pitched his tent for many
years. and there he was buried. and
there the hero Caleb had settled after
the conquest of the land under Joshua.
Now God gives it to David as a tempor-
arY home.
David in his conduct after the death
OF Saul started right.
1t is often the first steps that count
most. Many people settle all their busi-
ness and choose all their changes with
out taking God into their affairs. All
can learn lesson here from David. We
should walt for God, never hurrying his
proYidences. There is a Scripture prom
ise which counsels US to acknowledge
the Lord in all our ways, assuring us
that IL we do this he Will direct our
paths.
we should move reverentIy through
this world, praying continually, Show
me thy way In even the smallest mat
ters we should seek TO learn Gods will,
and then we shall be sure of blessing
David was as deyout as he was dar-
ing. and his firm purpose was not ire
vocable till he had submitted it to God
and let him say yea or nay TO IT. We
should make a question to God of every
purpose before We make resolution of
it. Our prayers should be interroga-
tions as well as requests"
Various Lessons.
David showed a noble spirit in taking
with him to the city of Hebron all
those who had shared with him the
hardships and sufferings of his fugitive
and exile life. Men in peace and pros
perity often forget the companions and
friends of their distress and poverty.
Not so David. He took with him TO
Hebron his wives that had married
him when he was an outcast. and his
men and their households.
He had not been long at Hebron when
the men OF his own tribe rose up en-
masse and crowned him as their king.
thus confirming the choice OF God which
had taken place years before. Thus
God brings TO pass in time by the free
will of men what he has ordained in

Gospel for the Fifteenth Sunday after
Pentecost is taken from ST. Luke vii: /:
11-16.
AT that time Jesus went into a city
called Naim; and there went with Him
His disciples and great multitude. And
when He came nigh 10 the gate of the
city, behold a dead man was carried out,
the only son of his mother, and she was
a widow, and a great multitude of the
city was with her Whom when the
Lord had seen. being moved with mercy
towards her. He said 10 her: Weep
not. And He came near and touched
the bier. And they that carried il stood
still And He said: Young man, 1 say
10 thee, arise. And he that was dead
sat up and began to speak And He de-
livered him 10 his mother. And there
came fear on them all; and they glori-
fed God, saying: A great prophet is
risen up amongst US, and God hath visit
ed His people.

eternity. Our God is not an arbitrary
God.
Why did David allow the second
amounting? Was it not a disrespect to
that first solemn amounting over in Beth
lehem, at the hands of Samuel, Gods
holy prophet and priest? Not in the
least, and it is here that many well
meaning folk are less wise than David.
refusing to receive human conformations
and utterances, Surely the call of God
is enough. and whoever is sure of 1t must
obey II in the face of the world; but If
the divine call is not in some way at
tested from the human side, we may we'll
begin 10 question our ears When God
calls there Is always some echo, even
from the hard cliffs of the world. An
other good lesson we can learn from
David at this time is his magnanimity
and tact in praising the men Of Jabesh
Gilead, who lived far from David across
the Jordan. for their bravery, loyalty and
respect for the dead, In rescuing the
body of Saul and giving it honor .
able burial. We often undervalue the
Ing with men and the propriety of con-
ciliating them and winning them to our
side by just recognition OF their vir-
tues and noble deeds
The men of Jabesh Gilead had shown
an act of reverence for the enemy and
rival of David. David not only pardoned
the deed, which might have been con-
strued into an offense to him, but publicly
commended ii and by innuendo invited
the dOers of it TO transfer their loyalty
TO him. David's sanctihed tact did not
win at first, but in after years II bore
fruit.
Renewed Opposition.
Abner, the old-time chief captain Of
Saul's army. either his cousin or his
uncle, proved for a while to be David 5
implacable enemy. He took Ishbosheth.
Saul's remaining son, q man of very
weak character, and made him king
over all the northern and eastern tribes
Of Israel. But there seems to have been
no general enthusiasm for his person
or reign among the people of those
tribes. The high-handed and goddess act
Of Abner soon bred civil strife with the
tribe Of Judah. but David and his army
wen in battle. Later Abner and his
puppet quarreled, and Abner deserted
TO the government of David. Ishbosheth's s
government fell TO pieces in conse-
Quence. and David then soon reigned
over all Israel. as God intended he
should and as his merit deserved.
David showed all possible respect for
Legitimate rule" when he kept his
hands from the support of 1t. never at
tackled or fought till it attacked him,
and so allowed it to fall by its own
decay.
When, with our free institutions. we
allow the Ishbosheths to mount the
seats OF power and hold them we are
no magnanimous Davids, but craven
Ishbosheths ourselves-men of shame.
Ishbosheth was the last straw in the
way OF David's God chosen rulership
He had one difficulty after another to
surmount before he reached his appoint
ed place. God makes US strong by op-
position and struggle. Saul was no
sooner out Of the way than Ishbosheth
was in the way. II is always so. We
have no sooner reached the summit OF
one range OF mountains, by long and
slow ascent, than another heaves in
view"
