IL was great exhibition OF how

have read somewhere that David
over the gate is picture OF Gods
grief over the sins OF the ruined world.
The world is Gods Absalom dead in

crying his own purpose to die for the
sins of the world. Perhaps that is so,
but the parallel cannot be pressed. God
is sincss. and in no manner the cause
OF human rebellion and ruin.
Here is the great lesson. For par

your children keep. Hold them to
strict account for their lapses, and
never lei them see a lapse in you, not
because you successfully hide it, but
because there is not one to be seen.
For children Obey your parents in
