Their many friends were glad to see Vir ginia able to be out, after a long, serious spell of illness. One of the supreme stories in the Old Testament is that of David, the lad who rose from a humble station as shepherd boy to the- highest office at the disposal of the people, and the. most cherished place in their affections. Little he was at first, ’ a pygmy amongst giants. What, chance had he in competition with seven stalwart brothers? Yet this lad rose to be king. What were the qualities that made his spetacular rise to fame possible? First of all, he was faith ful in little tasks. He made himself an expert shepherd, and became so skilled with the sling that he felled Goliath with one perfect shot. Such men always advance to re sponsible posts. Then, too, David had plenty of courage. Both in his fight with the lion and the bear, and in his famous combat with Go liath, he exhibited plenty of pluck. Again, he had a genuine capacity for friendship, as shown in his in- Little Sara Goff spent Tuesday very pleasantly with Mrs. T. A. Dillashaw.

Furthermore, David was gener ous. Soon he had to face the fierce jealousy of Saul, v/ho determined to put him out of, the way. But he would not kill Saul when he had the chance, checking hi§ men with the words, “The Lord forbid that I should stretch forth mine hand against him, Seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.” Finally, our shepherd-king had religious devotion. David was far from being a perfect man, as the record makes abundantly clear. His career reminds one of a kaleido scope, so varying and contrasting are its scenes. Certainly he had much of the earthly in him, for he was very human. Guilty he was of adultery, murder, and deceit. But, in the midst of all his sins, there shines a redeeming piety reflected magnificently in the psalms. He made many mistakes, but his face was often turned upward toward God. He fell only to rise again, through penitent contrition, into, fellowship with the Eternal. fiftuct Barton • • of 4 th e^mster executive” Supplying a w«c4c t»-wccfc inspiration for tb« heary-burdened who will hnd Mr. and Mrs. F.

Jesus, too, retir ed into the wilderness and there met the first crisis of his career. I When he emerged he had formed his own plan for his work; asceti cism and denudation, he knew, were not the role for him. His first success was swift beyond all expectations. Out of the Temple, shreiking and cursing, went the money-changers, while the crowd cheered his name to the echo. That night the whole city was stirred by the story. When he left, at the end of the feast, and went back into his own north country, he found that his fame had preceded him. Crowds flocked to hear him talk; news of his deeds of healing gravel ed ahead of him everywhere. His vision of work began to take definite shape. He would restore the self-respect of the people, abol- ishihg the rule of formalism, and establishing a fresh, glorious con ception of the Fatherhood of God, and the brotherhood of man. It all seemed so natural, so easy, there in the warm sunshine of Galilee with the responsive faces of the multi tude turned eagerly toward him. The year or year and a half that followed were filled with the joy of increasing reputation and success. Apparently there was not a single cloud In the sky. But there were pepole in Jerusa lem with whose private affairs his ideas would seriously interfere. He- was not left long in doubt as to their attitude. Incensed at htar cleansing of the Temple, they sent their spies into the north country to report his movements and made every effort to turn the crowds away. Perhaps at first he had hope of winning even his enemies to Ms teaching—so altogether simple and satisfying his gospel seemed to him. If so, the hope soon vanished. Opposition crystalized; it made itself felt in every audience he ad dressed, in every town he visited. Reluctantly he had to face the fact, that the time was coming when he must compromise or fight. It was with this realization that he faced a second and a greater crisis. He had crossed the lake one day in a little boat to get away from the crowds; but they).were too quick for him. Running around the end of the lake, and gathering re cruits as they ran, they wafted for him at the ' landing place—more than five thousand strong. He was tired, and wanted a chance to rest and think. But here were tfie peo ple, pathetically eager, and he "had compassion on them.” So he sat down among them and went on with his teaching until the day was almost over.
