THE STORY.

CHARP indeed the contrast between
- the departure from and the return
to Jerusalem of King David.
But few days before he had gone
out of the royal city with great re-
joicing followed by 10000 of the
chosen men of Israel to bring up the
ark Of the Lord and that evening as
the shadows were gathering he had
gloomily and silently returned, follow
ed only by his body guard and his
few attendants and without the ark.
That had been left at the place where
the awful Judgment had fallen upon
Uzzah; king and people with super
stitious fear stunning 1t and refus-
Ing to bring 1t further.
The representative men whom
David had summoned from the vari-
Gus tribes and who had come SO glad
ly and In such high spirits had re-
turned home again disappointed and
troubled in heart. And they had
taken the word everywhere of the
failure of their mission, of how Uzzah
had been suddenly stricken before the
ark and the expedition abruptly ended.
Thus 1t was that as the king en-.
tered his house that night upon his
return to Jerusalem not only he but
the whole nation as well were trou-
bled by the strange and untoward
things which had come to pass. De-
tectedly King David looked about him
as he sought the seclusion OF his pri.
vate apartments. All the beauty of
the cedar palace which he had built
seemed to have passed away and In
place Of the Joy and satisfaction he
had found in the new surroundings
there was now only disappointment
and anxious forebodings.
Why is this thing come to pass :"
he asked himself, dejectedly. Did
! err In my desire to bring up the
ark! How beautiful Is the situation
In this city and how fitting 1t seemed
that the ark Of the Lord should rest
within the tabernacle which has been
reared upon the rocky eminence over
looking the Kedron. How joyful was
our going forth and how sad has been
our RETURN It may be that the ark
can come hither. for who ID there
that dare bring It. uxzah, but touched
II and IL dead, and 7 remember hear
Ing my father tell Of the awful things
which befel the Philisdnes when they
mad the ark. and after that how the
men Of Bethshemesh were stricken
with a grievous plague when they
looked within the ark And now this
tragedy has fallen upon us at . time
when we would bring up the ark and
VINO is there dare approach unto It
more Of to bring Il np over the didicult
pathway Of this city?'' And be bowed

so that little rest or refreshing came
to him. And the days which followed
brought little relief. for the Inexplain-
ed mystery does not cpntribute to
ones peace Of mind. Day after day.
yea, night after night ere slumber
came to his weary tired brain, he
went over and over again the sad incl
dents Of Uzzah's death. he tried to
analyze his own purposes and desires
In bringing up the ark. He searched
his heart for answer to the many
questions which arose. kAtT
He did not doubt God. He did not
feel rebellious against him. But he
did want to understand 1t all. 1t seem
ed as though he never again could
come into close and loving touch with
him again. His longing was after God.
and yet how dare he approach unto
him or come near to the sacred en-
blems of Israers worship. or bring
them to their proper place in the
royal city il such fate as came to
uzzah awaited him or others in Is
rael? Ek EST
He thought that the presence Of the
ark in Jerusalem would bring the
blessing and favor of God, but how
could he now hope for such thing
when on the very journey thither the
ark brings death to those in whose
care it was placed?
How all Israel had rung with the
joy of bringing up the ark, and now
in what reproach must he be held be-
cause his plans had ended in such
disappointment and tragedy. Thus
the days passed in troubled thought.
The weeks grew to be month and
then the month stretched to two and
still no relief came to poor King
David.
So 1t was when the third month
was drawing to close. Weary with
the struggle and the questionings
which filled his heart David resolved
that he would send for the Prophet
Nathan, who in the course of his
ministry through Israel had come TO
Jerusalem
What think you concerning this
matter?" questioned David when the
man of God had come into his pres.
ence. Il fear to bring UP the ark,
and yet ! cannot be content while it
abides not in the tabernacle where
the word of the Lord which came unto
Moses declared it should be placed.
But since the Lord smote Uzzah all
the nation fears the ark as some ter
rble thing which will bring them
hurt"
"But thinkest thou that the judg-
ment of the Lord rests upon any who
deserve it not?' replied Nathan.
"Knowest thou not that God must
punish violation of the command
concerning the touching Of the ark?
If plague came to the Philistines be-
cause they kept the ark trophy to
their gods, knowing not GOD neitneI

ment be on Leyite VINO, instructed

chemisette Is entirely separate and is
arranged under the waist and closed

tucked or gathered at their lower
