THAT ALLEN CASE.-Would you
invite a starving man to your fes-

and thereby expect to conjure show
of angelic fortitude? Would you ex-
pect to place your head into the
mouth of a notorious man-eating
tiger with IMMUNITY, simply because
the beast was theoretically Gagged?
If you answer to these questions is
affirmative, would expect you to
unqualifedly endorse the honor"
system of Warden Allen, which Of
fered the wife of that official as a
sacrifice on the altar of primary nat
ural instinct and passion. 1t is really
astonishing how many well-meaning,
unsophisticated people ignore, or at
tempt to evade, the memorable laws
of nature.

The Lesson Explained. Chapter xi,
22-25.-The sin of David.
The fidelity of the sacred historian
is seen in the fact that he does no
pass over any defects. The man who
was an ideal king in many respects
fell %grievously into sin. Nc attempt
was made to defend him because he
was a king. However exemplary ne
was, it was not possible to overlook
the fact of a g~rievOus sin that he had
committed. This dark blot on his char
acter could not be removed without
suffering, and ever after he was par
doned the consequences of it contin-
ued to the end of his days. The story
of David's fall in connection with Beth
sheba, the wife of Uriah b Hittite, is
unsavory reading. 1t was not record
ed in the sacred pages to satisfy any
prurient taste. The purpose was to
utter a protest against the defiance of
the sanctity of the home and also to
point out that immortality Is an unpar-
donable crime committed against So
ciety. The ancient law was very strict,
for it required that the culprits should
be stoned to death Compare Deut. xxi,
22-24). This deed of David was ex-
posed with stern simplicity and i'm
pressive directness. After he had COM
mitted it he tried to escape the conse-
auences, but he found that this was
impossible. He had grievously insult
ed Uriah. and to this he added the
crime If plotting against his life. He
issued instructions to Joab to set Uriah
''in the forefront of the hottest battle
that he might be slain.
The report of this particular engage
ment was sent to David in Jerusalem.
1t was a bloody encounter and result
ed in severe losses to the army of
Israel. Under other circumstances
Joab would have been censured by
the king for his bad leadership, but
