The STORY.

MOT only had the religious life of
~ King David been quickened by the
bringing OF the ark to Jerusalem. but
that Of the whole nation as well. and
the King found new delight and pur.
pose in the performance of his relig-
ious devoiions as he came to realize
how the people looked 10 him as ex-
ample and leader. and were pleased
to follow him in a closer observance
Of the Mosaic law.
The sad tragedy connected with
bringing up the ark had stirred the
nation profoundly. and the depression
which had followed gave place later
to more profound reverence for God.
for David had corrected his own mis-
apprehensions regarding the incident
and had completed the task of bring
ing up the ark to the royal city and
placing II within the holy OF hoIies in
the tabernacle. Thus he had treasured
the people.
What glad time that had been and
how King David had won the admira
tion and love Of the people as he had
mingled in common with them in the
joyful procession that danced before
the Lord as the ark progressed upon
its journey. And what a new mean
ing the sacrifices had taken on In the
regard Of the people as the solemn
service was performed at short inter.
walls upon the journey. David having
caused the erection OF altars along the
line OF the march. And following the
glad but solemn ceremony OF install.
ing the ark in its place in the temple
had come as we have said, a revival in
the heart of the king as well as in the
hearts OF his people, so that the obli-
cations to the Lord were regularly and
faithfully performed by all the people

people in this respect
One day after King David had been
to the tabernacle to present his offer
