which all his best efforts were given
was tc build home for God. He
was not satisfied to have palace for
himself and only a tent for God
David was - poet and musician, war

lie did his best to carry It out, gath
cred the material, gold, cedar, but
God purposed that Solomon should
build the house. None of Gods great
servants have realized their ambi-
tions. their dreams. Did Abraham?
Did Moses? Did David? Did Paul?

righteousness, because he sought that
Paul Is credited with Christ likeness
because that was the passion of his
life. We should give out souls high
aims and great pGr poses.
AT night. DR.. White took for b:s
subject that most interesting of
themes, "The objectionable Sin" us.
ing for his text Matt. IL, therefore

doom of sin, and SO for years he
