Samuel. the last and mightlest Of the
Judges and the prophet OF God. the
maker of kings with all his human
wisdom would never have selected the
neglected shepherd lad to be the sue
cessor of his beloved Saul. but the di-
vine revelation directed him to anoint
the lad summoned from the fields as
the king TO succeed Saul. who had been
rejected because he imperiled the ma
TONS existence by his sin. Filled with
the spirit Of God. he saw in the expert
ences of his daily shepherd life the
spiritual revelation of Jehovah that en-
abled him to write the shepherd psalm
that touches the heart of humanity
wherever found. because it embodied
in familiar figures the truth that God
cares for those that trust Him.
1t was during his shepherd days that
he learned not only to trust Jehovah,
but also to use the sling SO ekillfully

Disciples of Christ are undertaking
for the fourth or fifth time to secure in
New York city strong center OF wor-
ship and work. Some former movements
have stressed the building of great
plant in some prominent location. The
Disciples of the middle west have been
sounded on proposition to subscribe
money to make this plant possible
The latest effort looks rather to a
man than "a building. The one consld-
cradle Disciples Church in New YORK
has elected as it's pastor Rev. DR.. Flnls
Idelman of Des Moines. and disciples
of prominence are urging him to give
up one of the large Christian pastorates
of Iowa and the west and so to New
York a Disciples missionary.
1t is reported that there are involved
in the present effort besides the Des
Moines pastor two of his classmates at
college. One is Rev. DIR. Peter Ainslie

The moral fall of David was hardly
less grievous than the political failure
of Saul, who upon his first appearance
before the people, who had selected
him, appeared to be great enough for
the task of establishing the monarchy.
Our opening lesson for the quarter
considered his rejection, and for the
first half of the quarters study We
considered his jealous persecution of
David, whom the Lord had chosen az
Saul's successor. We saw in our les
sons the natural development, though
whose success meant the end of all that
Saul considered worth while in life
Jealousy bred suspicion, suspicion
malice, and this. working upon his pre-
disposition to melancholy, led him to
ruin"
With the rejection of Saul our atten-
tion was centered upon David, the
coming king. whose life and labor will
furnish US the material for this quar-
ters review.
In our study of these two great Is
raelitish rulers we learned that the
fundamental difference between Saul
and David was not in their sins, but in
their attitude toward God after they
had sinned- Saul gave no evidence OF
repentance or desire to reform his life,
while David humbly sought divine for
riyeness and implored the help of his
God to start anew and continue with
divine assistance his life over again.
il was this that made him "a man after
Gods own heart" The whole quarters
lessons have been fun of encourage
ment TO the men that have failed to
come up to the high calling of God in
Christ Jesus, our Lord, who died and
rose from the dead to save US all.
AS We come to review the career of
David. who by common consent is one
of the most fascina ting figures in his
tory, we recall the words of one Of
Americas foremost preachers summing
up the career of David.

WAVE OF ENTHUSIASM FOR FAMILY PRAYERS
SWEEPING OVER ENGLAND AND SCOTLAND

ing has been held in London. hav-
ing for chairman a free church lay
man, and as speaker the Archbishop of
Canterbury.
The subject was family prayer and
worship. and the archbishop argued
that England on her knees at home
might accomplish more than England
in trenches abroad. The meeting was
attended by free and established church
people in about equal numbers.
1t is reported that u national move
ment has sprung up in the churches of
England and Scotland in favor of fami-
ly prayer in the home. Free and es-
tablished speakers in its behalf are
setting out from London to the prov
lnces to argue for it.
Rev. DIR. j. Stuart Holden, known to
some extent in this country. having
just assumed the editorship of well
known free church newspaper of Lon
don, himself an Anglican, mentions in
his inaugural editorial these move
ments toward family prayers. better

Singer.

AS a youth David had commenced to
compose psalms. and his skill as a
musician had brought him to the at
tention Of the king, whom he queted
by his musical ability. His cry for
forgiveness and his thankfulness for
the blessedness of being forgiven, as
well as his prayer for the tempted, all
grew out of his failure. While these
songs grew out of the foul crimes of
the sweet singer of Israel, yet they
show the possibility of salvation
opened through the grace of God to
every troubled soul.
Davids greatest influence rests not
upon his achievements az soldier.
shepherd and statesman, but in the
realm of religion that has been nodded
by his songs and psalms. No historian
has ever penned the complete story
of the songs of the shepherd king
that have inspired men in all walks
and conditions of life "All the ex-
periences of human life seem to have
been emptied into David's single ca
reer. that he might know how to in
terpret the universal elements of the
human race" so that whether moved
by the spirit OF penitence, praise or
prayer. they have found in the psalms
the expressions that fitted the emo
uons of their soul.
God cared for David, and He cares
for us, for He has said. II. myself, will
be the shepherd Of my sheep"

In Central New York the Rev. DIR.

Every soul who is faithful to God

lad. whose songs had Influenced the
king and whose skill in the use of the
sling and as a leader of men in battle
had won him high honors from the
people, found that his success caused
saul to be filled with jealousy, fearing
lest David was going to take the KING
dom from him. Twice the king had
tried to kill David, his trusty friend,
without success because David was pro-
tected by the Lord. his Shepherd.
1t was during these dark times that
Jonathan proved his friendship for Da-
vid, who had won his friendship during

David revealed a spirit of chivalry
when he twice spared Saul. who had
been providentially, as his soldiers
thought, brought to a place where his
life was in the hands of David, who de-
clined TO take advantage Of his enemy.
He spared Saul. He tried to conquer his
enmity as We ought any that we may

In this David showed the spirit of God

Sovereign.

After the dark days of trial as a
prosecuted outlaw, David finally, upon
the death of Saul and Jonathan, be-
came chosen by the elders of the peo-
pie, first the King of Judea and then
of Israel. Realizing the necessity of
religion as the only means by which
the discordent and disorganized tribes
could be united, David started to es-
tablish Jerusalem, the new capital, as
the religious center of the united peo-
pie, by bringing the ark to Jerusalem.
His first effort failed. because he had
not followed the plans outlined in the
law that provided for the carrying of
the ark. The second attempt succeed
ed. because the scriptural commands
were obeyed
Prosperity proved the undoing of
David morally. He was tempted and
fell. In a base, cowardly, intensely
depraved way he committed the worst
of crimes. He alone was to blame. 1t
is all a mistake to try to find any eX-
tenuating circumstances. He yielded
to temptation that God would have
given him strength to resist This
brought upon him the condemnation of
Jehovah, whose hatred of sin has al
ways been marked by His love for the
sinner and His efforts to reclaim the
sinner so He sent Nathan, the prophet,
to rebuke the king for his double
crime.
Courageously, tactfully and kindly,
pented of his sins and found peace and
pardon when he returned as a penitent
to Jehovah. The dark experiences and
restoration of the joys of his salvation
was the source of several psalms that
