A Modern Sin in olden Times

Modern photographers can soften a
negative so as to eradicate blemishes
in their subject. There is no retouch-
ing in the Bibles picture of David's
sin. In strong, clear, lines the king is
shown idle on his housetop when he
should have been off at battle. He
saw Bathsheba, the wife of a brave
soldier, Uriah, who was off at the
front; and he let his eyes have free
reign. He was thereby. according to
dictum of Jesus, an adulterer before
even he possessed the woman he de-
sired-as truly an adulterer as the
toul-minded men who loaf along our
city streets, ogling women and girls.
David yielded to his vagrant wishes
and took Bathsheba. Then, by a base
plot, he put noble Uriah, whose con-
duct shames that of the king, at the
battlefront where he would meet sure
death. After a period of hypocritical
mourning for Uriah on the part of
David and Bathsheba, David made
the woman his wife. 1t looked as If
the horrible strategem had succeeded
perfectly. But had it? Does any
scheme succeed which leaves God and
the moral law and its inevitable retri-
button out of the reckoning?
Read the classic tale of how the sin
ful selt-complacency of the adulterous
king was pierced:
And Jehovah sent Nathan unto
David. And he came unto him, and
said unto him. There were two men
in one city; the one rich and the other
poor. The rich man had exceeding
many flocks and herds; but the poor
man had no thing, save one little eve
lamb, which he had bought and nour-
ished up: and 1t grew up together with
him, and with his children: it did eat
of his own morsel. and drank of his
own cup, and lay in his bosom, and
was unto him as a daughter.
And there came a traveller unto
the rich man, and he spared to take
of his own flock and of his own herd,
to dress for the wayfaring man that
was come unto him, but took the poor
mans lamb, and dressed it for the man
that was come unto him. And David's
anger was greatly kindled against the
man; and he said to Nathan, As Je-
hovah liveth, the man that hath done
this is worthy to die; and he shall re-
store the lamb four-fold, because he
did this thing, and because he had no
pity.
And Nathan said to David. Thou
art the man"
The Probe For Today
Timelier story could not be studied
by mature minds to-day. Here is ex-
posed the greatest weakness of our
generation. Most observers agree that
the social evil is at present a worse
blight upon humanity than even strong
drink. All about us we see a grow
ing laxity with respect to the Seventh
Commandment
The commonest of current philoso-
phies is that which defies desire into
duty. Do as you please il you would
attain highest happiness, says this de-
vastating teaching. The simple fact
that a person wants a thing makes his
getting it right Unbridged desire is

words. Duty" Self Restraint" Self

tie rests as lightly as summer ROBE
"I want" has been substituted for Il
ought"
Bearing down strongly upon this
contemporary evil comes the Bible
story of David. 1t shows the sinful
ness and folly and suffering of un-
restrained passion. The sovereign laws
of Jehovah swing into view. God is
concerned in the moral order, and He
holds men accountable for their sins.
The nation itself is involved in the
moral misdeeds of men: for none OF
us liveth to himself, and none of us
dieth to himself" Some day, some

of God is going to be pointed directly

When the Good Go Bad

What are We 10 say concerning the
moral lapses of Christian men? Ger
tainly we must face the fact, and not
try to cover it up. The ecclesiastical
court that let's loose upon the COM
munfty man. be he minister or lay
man, who has been proved guilty of
crime. is worse than dishonest. Let US
at least be brave enough to refuse to
cover up vile sore with an all
effacing plaster like the Chinese doc
tors of the old school. The examples
OF the Bibles historical passages
should be our guide.
All such moral lapses of religious
leaders should admonish us to hu-
mility. No man or woman is beyond
danger. There is no room for spir-
itual pride or elf-complacency.
Let him that standeth take heed lest
he fall" From the intimate circle of
Christs own companions two of His
friends fell foully on a single night
The ripest saint never outgrows the
need to pray daily. Lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us from evil"
The other message to all of us from
the sins of the saints-from David
down to the latest preacher whose
wrong-doing has got his name into to-
days paper-is that faith to be
founded upon Christ, and not upon
any Of His followers. Men stumble:
Jesus stands fast. The holiest come
short of being perfect patterns; Jesus
shines truer the better He is known
His character and that of the other
men are like photograph and an oil
painting beneath a magnifying glass
The painting shows coarse and un-
lovely mere masses of pigment; the
photograph reveals new lines. not ap-
parent TO the naked eye They who
know Jesus best see the most beauties
in Him. Other examples become in
adequate; Jesus suffices to the end
The long stretches of eternity will be
needed to reveal His eXcelIencies.

The Book That Tells the Truth

One peculiar evidence that the Bible
is an inspired book is that IT preserves
life's proportions. It does not make
its heroes demigods as do the other
ancient sacred writings. There are
only two important characters in the
Old Testament who are not shown to
have serious blemishes We are shown
the bad as well as the good in this
record of race struggling upward
toward God.
In reading great deal of current
literature one easily gets the impress
sion that all the world is evil Many
of our popular periodicals are passing
through a depressing stage. They
present a lopsided view of life, ignor-
ing the vast majority of husbands and
wives, men and women, who are true
and pure, and bravely struggling to-
ward spiritual excellence. AS I go
through the magazines from month to
month, and read also the reviews Of
the stage, l am reminded of an IL
lustrated lecture l once heard upon
Philadelphia housing. The lecturer
showed only pictures of novels and
huts and tenement and human kennels
such as most of his hearers had
on the screen single example of the
comfortable. sanitary, beautiful homes
which have made the city famous
around the world. A stranger, hear
ing that lecture, might have got the
impression that Philadelphia is one
vast slum. Likewise, 1t is possible to
get from the periodical press of our
time. daily, weekly and monthly, the
idea that human society is going to
the dogs, and that nobody is thinking
upon whatsoever things are true
whatsoever things are honorable
whatsoever things are just, whatso-
ever things are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely whatsoever things
are of good report"
Not so with the Bible. It preserves
proportions and perspective. 1t tells
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-06-04

fearlessly the story of King David's
shameful sin-and also of his spiritual
aspirations. He is shown in his fall
a marred man, punished in soul and
estate for his sin-and also in his peni-
tence and forgiveness. Despite the
moral lapse which he so bitterly re-
pented, and which hung as a clank-
ing chain to his life until the end
David was a man whose dominant pas
sion was a yearning after God.
