Judge Horner Tells License

The court had ascertained that ir
the specific case the refusal to provide

Loving others Into tho Truth.

We need more than a clear knowi-
edge of the truth in order to get 9th
ers to see the truth. We may even
know the truth and live the truth, and
vet utterly fail in winning others &c
live that truth for themselves. To
knowing and doing we must add love
"a loving c~onfideSce in others, freely
and constantly expressed; a quick ap-
probation of their best points, and a
loving blindness, most of the time, to
their weaker and unworthy side.
Only thus can we lead them on into
the knowledge and the acceptance OF
the truths that they lack and need. II
we would effectively close the door to
their recognition of truths that we
know they lack, all va need to do is to
tell them of their lack, to show our
d~isapproval of this in critical deter
mination that they shall realize their
failure and adopt our course. Probably
no human being that eve lived re-
sponded to this course of treatment
Yet it is mistakenly administered by
some of the best-meaning followers Of
Christ, who fail to follow their master
In the love without which they them
selves would never have been won to
him.

When the Altar

W A MHEN Joab the warrior n
MIAMI tered the Tabernacle court
SAIzSM and laid hold Of two Of
WA2NW the two horns or corner
WMS projections Of the altar OF
burnt offerings, he had
found the place of all places that was
safest for him. And yet it was not
safe.
Joab was David's nephew, and for
many years he had been true to the
great king; only, he was true to the
worst side of David. and not to the
best side, and so he was no true &c
David at all.
To be sure, he had fought IN David's
side against Saul, and David had made
him commander-in-chief; but Joab
chose to follow his own Judgment
rather than his kings, and that Is trea-
son.
In the first place, Joab slew Abner.
the mighty warrior, whom David was
moved by the wisest motives to pre-
serve, and whom the king mourned as
"a prince and a great man."

the fathers heart
In the third place Joab slew Amasa,
as he was in the act of kissing him.
and thus became the Judas of the Old
Testament.
Joab's Final Treachery.
In the fourth place, worst of all. he
pandered to David's lust by placing
Uriah where he must be killed>in the
battle, that David might marry his
wife, Bathsheba.
AS a final treachery to David, defy
ing his royal masters will that Solo
mon should succeed him, Joab joined
David's Oldest son Adonijah, the sec
and Absalom in his plots for the sue
cession; and when those were foiled.
Joab, the mighty general. had 10th
ing left but to flee for his life to the
house of God.
The four horns of the altar re-
ceived the blood of the sacrifices, and
In a special way summed up the sane
tity of the altar itself. From of old,
painting fugitives had laid hold upon
them, and gained that protection from
merited punishment which the altar
and its sacrifices gloriously symbol
lied. Joab seized upon his last hope
when he grasped in his despair the
horns of the altar.
The objectionable Sin.
But wilful murderers, by an express
provision of the sacred law, were for

Joab was a wilful murderer, trebly

as well as wisely for his kingdom,
when he sent Benaiah, who slew
him.
There is an objectionable sin!-that
is the lesson taught by the Joabs.
There is a flthiness that must remain
filthy STILL" that even the blood Of
the Lamb cannot wash away There
is a laying hold even of the horns Of
Gods altar that does not avail, be-
cause the hands alone lay hold and
not the heart.
No one has committed the unpara-
donable sin if he breads sin and longs
after holiness; those that brood over
this teaching are least of all those
that need it. The sin against which
the altar of Gods mercy is closed is
the sin that, through years OF acquies-
cence in it, has closed the heart against
Gods mercy, and made holiness no
longer desired. The Joabs fall by
inches, till at last Aey fall yen from
the horns of the altar.
