This, of course, is reâ€" cognized by all Christians. Yet this Ig cot all. Temporal affairs are to be arranged. David appointed his own son Soiomon to reign in his stead. He ‘was very particular to rro'flde for all the minor divisions of his kingâ€" dom. This was right. But tbhat which David regarded as of supreme dmp ttance, was God‘s cause, and Gods ‘work. It was in his heart to build a house of rest for the arxk of the coverant of the Lord, and for the footstool of our God. God had denied him this privilege. Still he took great care to get all things ready for the building, and he was made glad because the people joined in the preparations so hbeartily and gave so generously.

The language of scripture, as it again and again refers to a fathâ€" er‘s love, brings out this truth clearâ€" ly. Jesus has exalted the word "Father" to the hbighest place in the prayer beginning "Our Father." That David had the heart of a loving fathâ€" er is made very apparent in numerâ€" ous instances mentioned in his hisâ€" tory ; but chiefly in his manifestaâ€" tions of grief at the death of his wayward son, Absea‘om. It is doubtâ€" fui if history records a more vivid picture of heart anguish. The adâ€" vice of such a father is the expresâ€" «sion of wisdom, the result of a lifeâ€" time of personal experience, coupled with the outgoings of a heart yearnâ€" ing with solicitude for the very highâ€" est interests of his child.
