 David restored all the possessions of Saul to this crippled son. and then gave him place at his own fatle.
 David never lost sight of the di- vine relationship. When he arose from fall, he went back io Cod, 10 have bis bruises and wounds dressed, even when he thought God had closed the door against him. We see Dim standing without apd hear him lift ing up his voice. pleading for anoth- CT hearing
 With this conception of God the Father. we ought not 10 be surprised that he tried to treat his enemies as a father would treat his children.
 David was the government and was once king
 We are the government, and not kings or queens. but because we are able 10 consider who shall sit at the municipal table, not as em- ployes but as absolute responsibilities of this government, as having a just claim upon the great father the Unit. ed States government. or upon the children of that government. the municipalities
 
 been lame, l. e.. afflicted from their youth. First. and those whom pity most. are the sufferers from mental anliction
 We may not. like our Master. be able to arouse in them the mental
 uength which the Book calls right mind. but a paternal government does not send them to the tombs and caves to prey upon each other and to hurt themselves. but it spreads a able, provides clothing and comfort abse homes. and employs trained and talented men and women who under L. ke. as a lifelong service, to heal them.

 Tomorrow we will celebrate the -Ithday of a man who taught the earth her greatest lesson since Jesus Christ, Of asking a whole na. ton to sit down at the table Of an. other nation.
 William Mckinley. by his decla. ration of war. asked a strange peo- pie to sit down at the table of the united States and partake of our liberty. both civic and religious. to partake Of the system of free edu- cation, and our nation told those peo- pie that there was a big piece of cake in the cupboard, in the way oi self government. as soon as they d. gested all they had.
 We hardly realize just to what extent We have invited the Mephibo. shets of this whole world to sit down al our table with our own children. and, leaning back in contented, fatherly fashion, have told them to help themselves.
 We are doing more than this. we are adding blessing upon blessing; we have added to the old school the graded school, ana to the graded school the high school, and now in the state the normal school and the university
 In giving, this nation, this state, this county, has been good and gen erous, and will be better and more generous. In the face Of this, shall We permit men to say that the father shall have no authority in his own evil in it's 2cmfwyp mfwyp mfwypw house to withhold that which is evil in it's effects? Will we give to the children of day schools (without price) that which strengthens the mind and nourishes the body, and not prevent evil men from giving them for profit that which undoes the good accomplished?
 We have a right 10 invite Mephi- bosheth, a nation, to our table and protect him.
 We have a right 10 invite Mephi- bOsheth, a stranger, within our gates and educate and protect him.
 We have a right to lead the bliud to our table and protect him. We have a right to invite any and al unfortunates to our table and clothe and protect them. and K is ! privilege learned Of Jesns Osukt to serve them, but we learned from Him another lesson. namely, the pri- vilege and opportunity and duty Of in. viting the hale and hearty, the lame and sick. the hungry and homeless, ! 10 the table. then he painted for us | the picture found in Matt.
