withdrawing in safety to the hillside,
David shouted back to the captain Of
Saul's army, "Abner! Abner" and
when this sleepy captain, with Saul
and the encamped soldiers awakened,
they saw David on the hillside,
stretching forth his trophies that they
might see that he could have taken
Saul's life IL he had chosen. Then II
was that Saul, realizing that he had
left God out of his reckoning in his at
tempt to Stay David, exclaimed: II
have played the fool"
And so does every one who does not
take God into account. The man or
the woman who schemes or plans and
lives as If there were no God in the
world Is as big fool as the person
who says in his heart: "There is no
God" Both are fools because they
deny the existence of God; one by his
words processes his atheism, while
the other lives his.
Ill. The Rich Fool.
He is the man whose ambition In
life Is to accumulate wealth.
Christ portrays him In the parable
of the man who, having a great har-
vest pulled down his barns and built
greater and when they were filed said
to himself, "Soul, thou hast much goods
laid up for many years; take thine
ease; eat, drink and be merry" But
God said unto him, "Thou fool, this
night thy soul shall be required of
thee; then whose shall these things be
which thou hast provided?"
How many folks there are In the
world with whom the supreme thing
In life is the getting of material things,
| their one ambition to accumulate
wealth? They strain and scheme and
work and worry to get gain, forgetting
that day Is coming when their souls
shall be required of them, and then,
if they have succeeded, like the rich
man in the parable, 1t will be peril
nent to ask then, "Whose shall these
things be?" And If they die, having
| laid up treasures for themselves, and
are not rich toward God, they have
gone into the other world as paupers
One night in New York city q
/ wealthy man lay dying. He had every
material thing the heart could desire
but one thing he felt his need of. and
| that was prayer. Sending for his
gardener, a godly soul, he asked him
to pray for him. and when the garden
er had finished his simple, fervent
prayer. the dying millionaire said:
"John, now sing for me- What shall
singT' asked the gardener. And the
man who was rich in houses and lands
4 and bonds and mortgages replied
"Sing, John, the song, Come We sin
ners, poor and needy, weak and way
ward, sick and sore,' and the gardener
sang this blessed song of Invitation to
the millionaire who knew that with

! Now the Bible does not set out to
prove that God Is. 1t assumes that
every intelligent man will believe this,
and so It's pages open with the sublime
and stupendous statement: I'm the be-
ginning God" The Bible, however,
does tell us that "the heavens declare
the glory Of Cod" and that "the invisi-
BILE things Of him from the creation of
the world are clearly SEEN" So while
the Bible does not try to prove that
God is, it does tell Us that God, whose
existence 1t assumes, may be known.
It tells lis that nature Is .one Of
the books which God has given us,
In which he tells us about himself. 1t
tells us that another book in which
God is revealed Is the Bible itself, the
written word Of God, and that third
one is the living or incarnate Word,
the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom 1t is
said: mo man hath seen God at any
time; the only begotten Son, which is
in the bosom Of thu Father, he hath
declared him." that Is, '1ed him
