I Comments J&l On s.sz:grvl |i Creamed Comments bn the Sunday school lesson, The Reign of David, II Samuel 5:6-10; 8:13-18, for Sunday, August 31. This lesson has to do with the part David had in clearing Israel from warring enemies; it is noteworthy that he constantly inquired of God and -proceeded to carry out the divine purpose of providing a homeland for God’s cliildreh. In most cases, the enemy nations were the aggressors so that there could be no peace. j Z y. 6. “The king and hiii men went to Jerusalem unto thel Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land; which spake unto David, saying, Except thou take away the blind and lame thou shalt not come in hither: thinking David can not come in hither.” For many years the Jebusites held the territory of Jerusalem and had it so well fortifield that they boasted that the lame and blind could stand guard and defeat David . and his army. Only with supernatural force could this Gibraltar be taken. V.7. “Nevertheless. ; David took the stronghold of Zion; the same is the city of David.”] The details are not given, only the results are recorded. It was such a signal victory that the city took the name of David,—City of ’David. It is always the victory that counts hn life. \ ’ y \ ■ V.B. said oh that day, Whosoever gejteth up to the gutter, and smiteth the Jebusites, and the lame and the blind, that arq hated of David’s soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said. The lame and the blind Shall not come into the house.” Ewald translates this somewhat obscure’ passage metrically, thus, “Whoso shall conquer the Jebusites, let him hurl down from the cliff the lame and the blind together, hated of David's son.” The absence of full partciulars makes it impossible to envision the situation. Regarding the proverb to which this incident led, Whedon remarks. “The spirit and the meali-

I want to look at some tolerance which iti being , used for wraps this season. And : by the wajC 4 must try to match some, patience that my neighbor wears. It is very' becoming to her, and I think it might loolf well on met I might try on a little garment of lohg-suffering. 1 need some everyday goodness, too. Surprising. hoW quickly one’s stock of goodness is depleted! —Watchman Examiner. Clericus Says: t’lericus says: “David had al-1 ready given signs of a wise and good ruler. He was kind to hio enemies; he inspired men to follow him and to love him; he <litl not push - forward his claims :o the throne, but waited patiently until the people acclaimed him as; their leader and ruler; above a’4, he always sought the guidance of ! Jehovah to help him in his daily tasks.”

are repulsive and hateful to us, ing of the proverb is, “Those who we shall not allow to enter our dwelling.’* V 5.9.10. “So David dwelt in the fort, and called it the City of David. And David built round about from Milo and inward. And David went out and grew great, and the Lord God of hosts was with him.” Milo was the northern fortification; by this side of an army could be best made; hence,/David reconstructed it; Jerusalem was to become the center of salvation; physical fortifications being symbols of spiritual fortifications. The steps to David’s success were perseverance, growth, and God’s prescehce. V. 13. “And David begat him a name when he returned from smiting of the Syrians in the valley of salt, being eighteen thousand men.” The preceding parts of this chapter v of extensive Expeditions against the Philistines, the Moabites, the Zohabites, the Syrians and the Edomites. In. verse 14, “And the Lord preserved David (gave victory to) whitber-f soever he went.” So in David’s PsaliAs he ascribes all victories to God. i

V. 15. “And David reigned over all Israel; and .David executed judgment and justice unto all his people.” By ruling righteously, David proved himself to be a true representative of God. V. 16. “And Joab, the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehosaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder.” Joab was noted for courage and bravery which qualified him as a great general. The recorder was the right hand man to the king, having in his possession necessary records. V.J7. “And Zadok, the sonof Ahitub, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were the priests; and Seraiah •••was the David proceeded according to The law, having priests and scribes. In the following verse we see how David responsibilities: David shared his work as ruler with many others.

C., Korean Ambassador You Chan Yang declared that the work of American missionaries is almost solely responsible for the historic friendship which has existed between Korea and the United States. He said that at the beginning, Korea, a hermit empire, had been opened by the shiashing volleys from gunboats, but after the military, came missionaries who brought the knowledge of God to the people and led the pepole into better forms of life. The Koreans’.; hunger for democracy is traceable, according to the ambassador, to the spiritual training of the missionaries. \

The American Bible Society has just brought Ou the Gospel of Lhke in Korean, and The Book of The Acts in Greek in magazine form, profusely illustrated. These books are the latest in the program begun two years ago which now provides volumes of this sort, not only ‘ln English, but in Japanese, Portuguese and Spanish.
