PaUukcA *■ Stir tod Wire mIt THE FIRST THING FIRST. Charles A. Dana, of the New York : Sun, said to his reporters "Take the Bible for yonr model." I would add, "And for your life." Just read this accoant from the second chapter. The sacred historian writes like telegraph messages. Not a word wasted. Picture follows picture with a few maaterly strokes. The narrative of war, intrigue, murder, love, tears and rejoining goes with thrilling rapidity. If you commence to lead you cannot stop. Hiram, King of the ancient "Yankees" comes into the story and the greatest city in the world is 1 founded on Mt. Zion. David takes on more wives and future trouble. Establishes himself firmly as King of United ' Israel and settles the Philistine! forever. Proceeds co put his kingdom in ^ order. Being a statesman. Religion comes first. CHOSEN MEN. Verse 1 : "All the chosen men. " Would a David choose you? Why not? As I write this lesson the "panic" is on. Shops all over tbe land are laying off men by hundreds. Who ], are the first to go? Not the chioce men The business of life is the choosing of men. The "boss" chooses his "help," the "help" chooses his boss "Well hardly, have to take a joD where can you get it." No, Tom, cot if you are a choice man. What have yoi^ mastered? Tell me and I will put a dozen "bosses" after you. The hardest men j to find are "top notch" men— the easiest, "pick and shovel" men. Some time ago-* put an advertisement in the papers for a man of high skill and also one for an office man. I got one application at a high rate of wages for the place of high skill and over five • hundred for I the office place at any • wages tbey conld get. Remember how we used to choose sides at school with ; an old base ball bat? The world chooses that way. But God don't. God don't 1 choose the best, if he did where would 'you and I be? When Christ chose His Disciples what a poor lot. Peter, the chief one, could curse and «wear and was a liar (Mark 14: 71). , John and James, two of the best, were i cruel, selfish and bloodthirsty (Luke 9:54). Judas was a thief (John 12: 6.) All of them were poltroons and \ cowards (Matt 26 : 56.) God is still fining the same. Look [around your ownjtown. But when the chosen get filled with the spirit of God ! David and his chose" now have, their hearts openedfGodward and Israel is coming into her greatest glory in consequence. Men and families and nations always do when true to God. GOD IN THE HOME. 2: "To bring up— tbe ark of.God." ' ' The devil must be an expert memory tahffler — It la so easy to forget God. The wonderful ark which^had so splendidly led them and blessed them nil those early years— neglected, forgotten God who so splendidly led and blessed you all those early years— neglected' forgotten, deserted, despised, rejected ! You will find the ark in Sam. 7:1,2,. where it has rested for about seventy years. And what a sad and disastrous -seventy years it has been. Catastrophe followed catastrophe. The United States of Palestine had become thekingdom of a Fool and Crazy man. America, be wise. Without religion we perish as a republic. No leligion in the home— no religion in the State. The most patriotic thing you young fellows can do in starting your little nests is to act up God's altar in them. Too and yoar little wife kneeling

around that altar can solve all the many problems of life which will come to you (Matt. 18fl»). You will find out presently what tfae'ark of God did for a Hebrew. It will do tbe same for you. "HARD TIMES." 7 : "The anger of Jebdvab was kindled against Uzsah— he died." "What! just for touching that box in, trying to save it?" Yea, Tom. "Why weren't tbe men killed who put it in the eart?" Because they used the things made to handle it with (Ex. 25 : 14). No doubt Abinadad's folks loaded it and knew how. Big men dont' know everything. Humble people can tell Doctors of Divinity iota— and to their profit. The whole troQfele with the -world is that it thinks Gm dont mean what He says.- For example, God Bays every seventh year should be a Sabbath year (Lev.2 5: 2-7). Go slow and rest. The worid has always thought it knew more than its maker and refuses to come into its Sabbath year reverently, expectantly and gently. So we . get knocked into it with the club of i our own foolishness. And here we are. , (Christmas. 1907) How do you like * I it? Suppose, we had obeyed God and 1 came into it all prepared! David for- ( got Uzzah forgot. Ignorance no ex- { cuse. No business to forget. These 4 1 God neglecters had to be taught rever- 1 , ence for holy things. So do we. Ir- ' ? reverence for holy things the crying " sin of the age. ^Irreverence for mar- ( riage — the divorce mill (Matt. 19 : 6). j { Irreverence for the Sabbath— Sunday 7 base ball, golf, etc., (Ex. 20:8.) ; reverence for our .bodies— jails, hofipi-^ tals and asylums (1 Cor. 3: 16, 17.) j ' i God never changes. Beware ! { WHERE DO YOU KEEP IT? ( 11 : "Jehovah blessed Obed-edom and all his bouse. " When David was in a hard place he 1 asked God, "Shall I go up?" God di- . I : tec ted him. When he reached the essy . place just like thu rest of us, he did not consult God but gathered a band of , music and wrote songs and' prepared . for a good rime. God will direct your i praise as well as your progress. David ; . now believed the urk to be a dangerous . thing— and man like {let the other fel- , ' low have it! We would like to kcow j . more about Obed and how the blessing ' manifested itailf. Perhaps in tlje • same way God now blesses a home ; when he gets into it. Instantly and ; materially. We do not read the pres- , ence of the ark 70 years in Abinadab's I i house blessed it. Maybe 'be kept the : ' . ark up in the garret or down cellar or ' I out in the barn and not in the living c . room. Out of sight is 'where some e i people keep their religion. Obed-edom 1 ! kept tbe ark of God where the house- * hold could see it. At uny rate tbe neighbors knew all about it and spread ' I the news. Acts 4 : 13. , J WHERE THEY RAISE THEM. I 12: "David went and brought up the I I ark of God." , Read the account of the greatest day I , in David's life In 1 Chron. 15 and 16. ^ , Psalm 24 iB one of the great songs | i David composed for the occasion. ' i When David saw the ark of Goa I , blessed the other fellow be wanted it. 1 1 i That was because David was smart, j I How is it with you? Look around 1 1 i town and note those homes in which j 1 , God lives— bumble like Obed-edom ; ' . homes probably- but see the happiness 1 i and contentment here. Tbe splendid ' , young men and women who come out of j , them. Compare with tbe other homes I . where God is "not. Which for you? ' . Why not take the ark of God up into ' , your house and sing and dance for joy ! 1 ; WOMEN'S WOES. i ' ' Cape May Court House Women Are Finding Relief at Last.
