only keep His holy amendments.
And so He does not crush us at once
with a heavy burden of despair, but
He lets us hear. even In our conscious
guilt the voice of hope

NATHAN'S REBUKE LEADS
DAVID TO CONDEMN HIMSELF

Notice three points in Nathan's re-
huke. First. he leads David to crr-
denim himself ! think that God al
ways deals with us In that way. He
wants 10 make US realize the horror Of
sin and so He opens our eyes to the
stain and the shame of it all. a true
man is conscious OF his vrongdoing
or wrong thinking or wrong speaking
not because Of exposure or because OF
Judgment, but because Of conviction
lie suddenly sees himself and knows
how vile he Is. II is "A wonderful thing
that God thus proves His high regard
for us in letting us judge ourselves.
II Is kind Of kingly thing. after all.
which makes us almost Indifferent to
the Judgment Of others and wonderfully
r-verent as we recognize the judgment
Of God speaking through our own
judgment. When ! recognize my own
condition and need, then ] am not
cast down. but rather lifted up with
my eyes fixed upon the path that lends
to reformation.
Notice secondly. that Nathan. speak
!nG for God. did not dishcarten David.
He did not threaten him. He only
opened his eyes so that he might see
the wickedness OF what he had done
and then he suggested n way out What
the world needs to-day is just that
kind OF treatment

We have In these chapters a sad

We have In these chapters sad
period In David's history. All OF the
hi"!e characters are essentially human,
OUT some Of them seem to be more hu-
man than others. And perhaps the more
himan they are, the nearer they seem
Z" come to us. as we realize our own
"eaknesses. I think most people pre-
Ter Jacob to Joseph, although Jacob
was poor, weak sinner. and Joseph
seems to have been nearly perfect. So
IN the New Testament. Peter appeals to
US even more than John. though we
love them both. We cannot for an in
stant excuse or palliatc the double sin
81 David: he committed adultery and
"a" committed murder; the sixth and
seventh commandments nc wilfully
ground under his feet. IT is only be-
cause God was merciful to him that we
feel drawn TO him even in his trouble
But how wonderful was the mercy OF
Cod. which sought for David even in
the darkness OF his crime and appealed
10 him. God always comes after us
when we wander away. He wants to
bring US back to Him We are His
children, and when we sick with a
stroke Of sin. He, the Great Physical n
longs to heal us. Let us never forget
the infinite love Of God. which never
condones sin. but which. with loving
hand. tries TO draw the sinner away

DID DAvIDS CONSCIENCE
TROUBLE HIM AFTER HIS SINt

How far David's conscience troubled
him after his sin we cannot say The
Holy Spirit speaks 10 us through our
conscience. and If we are not hardened
the message brings us TO ourselves,
even az it brought the prodiSal to him
self est. Luke XIV. ID But God dealt
with David even more forcibly than
through his conscience. He sent spe-
c!al messenger TO Observation-Disclosures
through parable made David realize
ais sin. And what a beautiful parable
~ vas! How we love TO read IL be-
cause II is story told us by the dear
Lord Himself-the little lamb nour-
shed and then taken away by strong
ana brutal force. The story has "A thou
sand applications even to-day. and we
feel like crying with David in indigna-
ton and wrath: The man that hath
done this thing shall surely die" And
then we are forced suddenly to look at
ourselves as God says Thou art the
man II IS one of the curious expert
snCes OF the honest man that he never
condemns anything in another but that
nc becomes conscious either that he has
himself committed a similar ofensc or
else that he is quite capable of COM
hitting II. Philips Brooks beautifully
says in one Of his sermons that when
We SOC a man do wrong, we instantly.

have done a Ike wrong II we had been
