David Brings the Ark into Jerusalem.
II Sam. 6. Read chapter 5; | Chron.
1916.
Enter into His gates with thanksgiving,
And into His courts with praise.
Psalm 1904.
WINNING THEIR INDEPENDENCE.
For seven years the two little princi-
palities had paid their tribute and been
under the dominion of Philistia. Their
constant struggle against each other
was probably fostered by their oyer
lords much as we played Carranza
against Huerta in the Mexican disord-
ers. To keep Israel weak was good
policy. Suddenly Ishbosheth was
snuffed out, Abner dead and the north
ern group collapsed in the arms of the
Son of Destiny, David. The united
kingdom was a declaration of war so
Philistia lost no time in writing notes
but showed her forces into the hills and
the new King made swift getaway
to his familiar refuge. His own city of

and peace settled over the riotous world
David had proven his right to the king
dom; independence was won and the
people could turn to the hard task of
reconstruction. Immediately there
was lnaugurated thing which Saul
had never attempted, the establishment
of settled capital. Like the war con-
sui who was asked, 'Where is the
United States Consulate?" and answer
ed, I'm my coat pocket" so Saul might
have spoken of the seat of government.
With statesmanIike ability David chose
a spot removed from all the old jeal-
ousies that separated Judah from the
other tribes. Uniting central loca-
tion with almost impregnable position,
a spot never controlled by Israel offer
ed the thing he sought. That it was in
the possession of another made little
difference in that day as it made small
difference to Germany in our own-it
was needed for the nation so the ma
ton took it. All the forces were united
in the conquest so felt an equal interest
in the common achievement and felt
taller by the choice of the place they
had fought and won. So the political
heart of Israel began to function and
the new King had a definite name and
place. Imagine what the United States
would do without Washington and see
the effect that must have followed this
act of David.
THE CAPITAL OF THE SPIRIT.
Every advance made by the Hebrew
was a religious one. A revival of Je-
hovah worship marked the succession
| of the Judges and the accession of Saul
Their wars were crusades for the God
of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and it
was in this spiritual spring that they
devout determined that these spiritual
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1920-07-29

aspiration should have a centre about
which to gather and the new capital
must become the heart of its religion
as we'll as of its politics. Now Hebrew
worship hung about symbol that had
carried the sense of Presence all along
the wilderness way, across the Jordan,
thru the conquest and into the confus-
ION of the period of the Judges. For
four or five centuries it had caught up
the devotion of the people and its his
toric link if nothing else would make it
an object of reverence. Captured by
the Philistines and held under their
jurisdiction since the days of Eli its use
had been practically abandoned but its
possible restoration must have stirred
the spirit of all the people, David de-
termlned that Jerusalem should be its
place of refuge whence no power should
remove it and where its presence would
centralize the religious elements and
stabilize the government that also was
housed there. Politically it was one of
| the best moves possible but it was his
own heart hunger for the presence that
caused Dayid's determination to be-
come fixed that the Ark should be hous-
ed in the Capital.
J IhE I'M EhhUf1ED JOURNE1.
| God is ever on the march and the Ark
was designed for travel. A stationery
Deity is the bane of paganism and a
progressive God the heart of Christian
civilization. David gathered a great
throng and went down to the house of
Abinadab to bring up to the place pre-
! pared in Jerusalem that wonderful Ark
between the wings of whose Cherubum
Jehovah manifested Himself. Placing
it upon new cart the procession start
ed on its joyous journey only to Rave it
interrupted in most disastrous fashion.
1t was halted by the specter of a great
fear Suppose God should fall? Uzzah
reached out his hand to steady the
swaying burden and swift death came
shocking every man in the shouting
line and blanching other cheeks for who
knew what this Deity might do! David
feared also and turning aside the Ark
was carried into a nearby house where
it remeined for three blessed months
and the soul of a foreigner sang as
never before and rejoiced over the man
ifest Presence in his home. That new
altar sanctified all the life of the home
and brought unexampled prosperity to
all beneath its roof. That is always the
characteristic of the Cody home. Do
we fear lest the Bible be discredited
and in sudden terror reach out steady
ing hand? Does the church tremble in
these days and fear clutches to stay its
topping? Certainly then the process
ion will be halted for no institution or
revelation of God can be overthrown
but fear for its disaster and despair of
its fate will bring heart-failure and
spiritual death always in its train as
surely as 1t did in this far distant day.
THE JOURNEY OF JOY.
Faith restored by the effect upon the
home of 0bed-Edom started again the
marching feet. Sanctifed hands lifted
the hallowed burden and bore it toward
its new home. Sacrifices marked every
stage of the journey and music swept
the marchers into ecstacy as they sang
the sonorous lines of that great ode

which David probably wrote and found
in the Chronicler' s account of the event,
The King wore no royal purple that day
but IN clean. pure linen danced in exu-
berent JOY along the ascent to the city
and along its streets sharing all the
religious enthusiasm of his people in the
restoration of the sense of the presence
among them. Tears of gladness, shouts
of joy, resonant Amens, exultant Hall
eluiahs, rhythmic music and antiphonal
chanting make that march one of the
worlds great joy journeys.
ENTHUSIASM CROWNED.
David never thought or cared what
impression he might make on others as
he danced dervish-like thru the streets
of the Capital. His feeling of delight
demanded expression and he gave full
vent to it but as the procession passed
their home Michal, Saul's daughter.
sneered at the whole proceeding as vul-
gar and unkingly. The common herd
might make spectacle but such a dis
play of emotion was utterly out of place
for him. 1t is no sign of great intellect
that one has no feeling Smothered
fire dies. Ice has its place but not with
the klndlings and the kindlers are those
who from David to Christ have blazed
or cheered upon occasion. Imagine the
bleachers filled with Michals! She had
greatly changed from the night she
lowered her husband from the window
stemming Saul's fury with her love.
Perhaps she was not to blame for she
had been tossed about as a pawn and
must suppress all heart until 1t had
been buried beneate her mask of
haughtlness. But the condemnation
visited upon her instead of upon him IS
witness to the place enthusiasm holds
in the religious life. God and man
crown the loser of himself in a cause
that thrills and thrals him.

W. o. Minor, rancher, banker, and
leading spinner of fish yarns in his
native heath, Heppner, spent a few
hours in Enterprise Saturday. Mr..
Minor is heavily interested in the
Oregon Black Marble company and
made a trip to the county to look at
the property. He is thoroughly con-
vinced that there is plenty Of marble
and the quality Is genuine, but as to
the development of the quarry he had
nothing to offer. Mr.. Minor is one
of the pioneer stockmen of the Hepp-
ner country, having been engaged in
raising sheep and cattle on a large
scale for many years. He was the
proprietor of the Mountain Valley
stock farm where one of the finest
herds of Shorthorns in the entire
west was built up. There are few
important shorthorn herds in the west
today that do not contain some Of
the stock developed at the Mountain
Valley farm at Heppner. Mr.. Minor
disposed of the Mountain Valley farm
a few years ago expecting to retire
from the Shorthorn game but soon
found life a dull proposition without
at least a few of his favorite animals
to care for, consequently he stocked
up another ranch and is again in bus
mess on a smaller scale than former

Oregon Forest Notes

AT a conservative estimate Ore
CONS four hundred fifty billion feet
Of standing timber is worth $780,
100000 on the stump. Harvested
and cut into lumber, its value is in
creased tw~enty-fold and becomes ten
billion dollars.
Oregon's timber pays a large part
of the States taXes-in some counties
the bulk of them. The logging and
milling of her timber supports the
largest payroll of any industry in the
state.
Oregon's sawmills cut two and two

ging, and restocking, these forests
will provide for the lumber industry
