The above passage is connected
with one Of the dramatic incidents re-
corded in the Old Testament. After
one of the most serious conflicts of his
life, wherein ne had disclosed remark.
able bravery OH the field of action,
tired and worn at the close of the day,
yearning for refreshment and repose,
David cried out. "Oh. that one would
give me to drink Uf the water of the
we'll Of Bethlehem, which Is by the
gate"
In the hour Of his great need his
one supreme desire was. to be re-
freshed with waters drawn from the
well with which he had been familiar
in the days of his youth. Other wa-
ters could not be satisfying in. such
a crisis in his life. His expressed de.
sire discloses yearf,ihg for the asso:
citation Uf other days. Overwhelmed
with the great problems that has accu.
mulated with Increasing hOnors and
responsibilities, his mind turned to
those earlier days Of the simple, home
~ life. before the burdens of his great
office had bent him beneath their
weight. Even the successes and emol
umerts that had come to him were
not the things that he most yearned
for. In the hour Of his triumph he
longed to know something of the
peace and happiness Of former days.
There Ia nothing novel or unique
about this expressed yearning on the
part Of the King. 1t Is common to
ali of us. No matter what the world
may confer upon us. no matter how
great it's gifts, and hUhors and dis.
tiflcti0iis may be. there is something
within us that inevitably turns. now
and again. to old associations. old en-
virUfiment. old friends and those
whom we ''have loved and lost awhile"
No matter how appealing and ornate
our new environments. nor yet how
great the honofs that come to us may
be IN their satisfactions. there. is
something within us that is ever
turning backward to recall incidents,
places and experiences that were
charact cteristic 0f the days of Youth.
There is within the sUul bf every man
that which is responsive to the M
t'eal 1T the simple. homely things Of
life. When we lose this sense OF re.
sp0iisiveness. when these things cease.
to make their appeal to lis. we are
certainly beginning the period Of our
decline. Some one once said "My
mind tn me kingdom is What he,
was attempting to say was simply
