DAVID RECosEs KING-H Samuel, ii: i
Success After Delay.


David was now nearing trfumphantly
the goal of success in his eheckered ca
reer after long waiting, suffering. and
delay. II was a triumphant success, be-
cause no unholy act had marred its at
tainment
David had firmly resolved in his own
soul that If he ever wore the crown as
king of Israel that no blood should spot
the crown. Hence he had frequently
spared saul's life and had refused to
make war upon his own people, or even
TO be a disturbing element in Israel
to obtain the crown. He realized, as
many of the natives did. that it was pre-
destined by the choice and providence
of God that some day he should be king
But Davtd's purpose was to patiently
bide his time, act wisely in all circum-
stances. and humbly to walt upon God
TO bring about what he in his infinite
foreknowledge and counsel had deter
mined should come to pass.
David is an example of honorable sue
cess in life. A great many men in al
walks or life experience what the world
calls success, but their success is tainted
success after all is said, and is not wortt
having, 1t may be built upon the blood
OF other men, or it may have been OBJ
tanned by deliberate sacrifice of manhood
or the use of some dishonorabIe means
1t is great triumph If a man say. "a
nave obtained my success in a clean. fair
square and honorable way" How many
great estates have been amassed by rob-
berry? How many high positions in poll
tics have been secured by trickery? How
many influential places in society have
been obtained by sycophancy? 1t was the
glory of David that he wore the crown
OF Israel through merit and uprightness
and the favor of God
Seeking Divine Guidance.
When Saul died David was partly {
voluntary and partly a compulsory exile
dwelling with his six hundred men and
their families in a heather land under
the protection and friendship of a
heather king. He had been prosecuted
into going into this land by Saul and his
generals. David's position was like that
OF Christian who is driven from the
church of Christ back into the world b,
the meanness and unfriendIiness OF his
own Christian brethren.
David was not altogether without ex-
cuse in going to live in the country OF
the Philistines. for If he had had more
faith in Jehovah he might have been
able to stand his ground at home, even
If it should have been with difficulty
but his presence in Israel was practi-
cally untenable as long as Saul lived
yet David's exile life marks period OF
spiritual declension. NO psalms are
credited TO this period The sweet sing
er was mute. There was something in
the air OF those lowland plains that
closed the utteranees of the sweet voice
that had sung 10 God amid the hills OF
judah and the caves OF Engedi."
But when the terrible disaster Of The
death OF Saul and his three sons IN bat
tie occurred at home David took this
providence as a sign of deliverance and
g call TO renewed faith and action.
There is something very beautiful in
Lis movements at this juneture, evil
dencing how completely his soul hal

sufferer has to sit up in bed to breathe are
the most common symptoms OF weak heart.

do not understand their meaning should be.

There is a great labor unrest
throughout the country. Just why
this should be 30 at this time is
hard to define. Wages were never
better in this country than they are
now. Work was never so plentiful
- now. So great Is the demand for
men in the great enterprises now
under way all over the country that
the countries Of Europe are being
drawn on in great numbers to sup
ply the unsupplied demand in this
country. Everywhere there is a
constant demand for short hours
and strikes are ordered to enforce the
demands. But still the question is,
what 10 to dome out Of all the labor
agitation now going on? Is there
no aaager that a commercial panic
viii yet be sprung upon the country
and the goose that 10 now laying the
golden egg will be plucked of her
rich and downy feat hersS We only
hope not.

given this paper by gentleman who
is in position TO know what is on
foot and what is determined TO do
He does not want his name 10 be used
iD connection with the statement.
Morgantown was to have been on
the road but so many obstacles have
been thrown in the way OF the road by
the B. s. o. and the rights OF way
would have been so expensive that
The Wabash has decided to give up
the fight and follow the lines OF least
resistance.
Rights of way are so much cheaper
the way that has been selected and
the route itself is several miles shorter
and the determination has been made
to change the route.
Final surveys are now being made
10 the section to be traversed and
rights OF way are being secured.
Morgantown however will be con-
nected with the Wabash. Senator
Elkins is to be the means whereby this
salvation is to be souchsafed - ms.
He will connect US with both trolley
lines and railroad.
The railroad to be built by EIkins
will have two branches. One will
run up the west side of the river from
Morgantown and the other will go to
the Wabash by the most direct route
from the town. The Monengahela
river will be bridged at this point and
the NJ. & X. will be connected with
the lines which be will build in the
county.
He does not ask for any subscrip-
tion in bonds or in any other way. He
has never done this in any case where
he has been interested In railroads
and he will not do it in this instance.
One of the greatest coal deals that
the county has ever seen is now on
taps. We are not in position to use
the information which is now in our
possession in regard to tins but can
state that millions are involved and
when it is consummated the Senator
Will have doubled his already vast
holding in the county.
He now has between three and four
millions invested in and near Morgan
town. He will put in as much more
before he stops investing. When he
has this done he will get ready to de-
velop it, In a few days we shall be
able to tell what his plans are and
what he proposes to do.
No matter If the Wabash does not
come directly to the town we shall be
connected with it and the rates for
freight shipments will be made all
right
The M. & X. will be extended south
ward to connect With the Wabash in
the, interior but the extention TO the
western end of the county will receive
first attention.
Work of construction on the Wa
bash through the county will begin
