Lesson XIII.—Sunday, September 27, 1896.
REVIEW.
Golden Text: “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” Prov. 18:10.
Lesson 1.—David King of Judah. 2 Sam. 2:1–11. Golden Text: “The Lord reigneth; let the earth rejoice.” Ps. 97:1. David, the son of Jesse, was born in Bethlehem in Judah about B.C. 1085. He was anointed to be the king of Israel when he was eighteen years old. After the death of Saul, David reigned seven and one-half years over Judah before the throne of all Israel came into his possession. Thus he was prepared for the greater responsibility by the faithful performance of the duties involved in the lesser.
Lesson 2.—David King over all Israel. 2 Sam. 5:1–12. Golden Text: “David went on and grew great, and the Lord God of hosts was with him.” 2 Sam. 5:10. The Israelites gathered to David at Hebron, and proclaimed their desire to have him rule over them. He was their bone and their flesh; he had led the people under Saul, and had been anointed king by the prophet of the Lord. David was thirty years old when he took the throne of all Israel. His entry into Jerusalem (formerly called Jebus) was accomplished by strategem, as the Jebusites held the strongly fortified citadel. David’s work in rebuilding and extending the city caused it to be called the city of David. He also had the satisfaction of knowing that the Lord had established him king over Israel.
Lesson 3.—The Ark Brought to Jerusalem. 2 Sam. 6:1–12. Golden Text: “O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.” Ps. 84:12. Ever since the Philistines had captured the ark from the sons of Eli, it had remained in partial neglect at Baale (or Kirjath-jearim); but David desired to inaugurate a revival of religion and religious institutions, which had been sadly neglected during the latter part of Saul’s reign. The representative men of the kingdom were gathered together, and the ark, contrary to God’s command for bearing it, was placed upon a cart. For this error, and the steadying of the ark by one not commissioned to touch it, Uzzah was slain, and the ark was left for three months in the house of Obed-edom, a Levite, from whence it was conveyed in triumphant procession to the city of David. The people had learned a lesson of reverence during this time.
Lesson 4.—God’s Promises to David. 2 Sam. 7:4–16. Golden Text: “In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust.” Ps. 71:1. David suggested to Nathan, the prophet, the advisability of building an appropriate house for the service of the Lord. God through the prophet reminded David of the humble position from which he had called him to be ruler over Israel and of his care over him in all his doings, but informed him that upon his son and not upon himself would be placed the responsibility of building the proposed temple. He also promised David that if his son should do wickedly, his punishment would not consist in having the throne taken from him and given to another house, as had been done with Saul, but that the kingship of the house of David should be forever. This finds its fulfilment in Christ.
Lesson 5.—David’s Kindness. 2 Sam. 9:1–13. Golden Text: “Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love.” Rom. 12:10. David’s kingdom being now firmly established, he set about finding a descendant of Saul, that he might show him a kindness for Jonathan’s sake. Mephibosheth, Jonathan’s son, was found in the house of Machir, in Lo-debar. He was given the possessions of Saul, and honored by eating at the king’s table. This special kindness was due to the lasting love between David and Jonathan.
Lesson 6.—David’s Victories. 2 Sam. 10:8–19. Golden Text: “The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?” Ps. 27:1. Before David became king he was engaged in a battle with the Amalekites. His victory over them was soon followed by his accession to the kingship of Judah. The Philistines, jealous of his growing power, attacked him at two different times, and were defeated. His next victory was over the Moabites, who were made vassals. This victory was followed by his successful battles with the combined forces of the Ammonites and Syrians, and resulted in the tributary kings of Syria becoming subjects of Israel’s ruler.
Lesson 7.—David’s Confession and Forgiveness. Ps. 32:1–11. Golden Text: “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” Ps. 51:10. This psalm is supposed to have reference to David’s great sin and his forgiveness, an account of which is given in 2 Samuel 11 and 12, with the warning of Nathan and the death of Bathsheba’s child. David confessed his sin to God and published it to the world, and then, notwithstanding his punishment, praises God for the forgiveness which he received.
Lesson 8.—Absalom’s Rebellion. 2 Sam. 15:1–12. Golden Text: “Honor thy father and thy mother; that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.” Ex. 20:12. Absalom’s mother, Maacah, was the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur, a heathen king; and with his heathen grandfather Absalom lived after slaying his half-brother Amnon. Absalom’s enmity was stirred against his father for not sanctioning his course in killing Amnon, and for not summoning him into his presence for so long a time after returning to Jerusalem. By a crafty plan Absalom stole the hearts of the people, and finally instituted at Hebron the revolt which carried him to the throne of his father.
Lesson 9.—Absalom’s Defeat and Death. 2 Sam. 18:9–17, 32, 33. Golden Text: “The Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, but the way of the ungodly shall perish.” Ps. 1:6. The lesson opens with the account of Absalom’s death at the hand of Joab, while suspended in the boughs of an oak, and the peculiar disposition of his body; and closes with that singularly pathetic lament of the heartbroken king for his wayward and lost child.
Lesson 10.—David’s Love for God’s House. 1 Chron. 22:6–16. Golden Text: “Blessed are they that dwell in thy house; they will be still praising thee.” Ps. 84:4. As the end of David’s life drew near, he called his son Solomon, “The Peaceful,” and charged him to build the Lord’s house, an undertaking for which David had made ample provision, but in which he was not permitted to take part by reason of the blood which he had shed. He also cautioned the young king to keep the holy law of God if he would have prosperity and peace at his hands.
Lesson 11.—David’s Gratitude to God. 2 Sam. 22:40–51. Golden Text: “The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer.” 2 Sam. 22:2. In this hymn David praises God for subduing under him nations which had risen up against him and for delivering him from the strivings of his own people. David died at the age of seventy, “full of days, riches, and honor.” His last recorded words are found in 2 Sam. 23:1–7.
Lesson 12.—Destructive Vices. Prov. 16:22–33. Golden Text: “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man; but the end thereof are the ways of death.” Prov. 16:25. This lesson is a practical one, and deals with many of the evils of daily life, showing the desirability of true understanding as opposed to folly and the instruction of fools. The work of the ungodly and the froward man are compared with the work of him who is slow to anger, and who speaks words which are “sweet to the soul and health to the bones,” showing the power of the one for evil and the other for good.

NEWS AND NOTES
FOREIGN.
—A Cairo, Egypt, despatch of the 2d inst. announces another outbreak of cholera. Of sixty-one cases, fifty-four proved fatal within three days.
—The Chilean Congress has elected Federico Errázuriz president of the republic by a vote of 62 to 60. This close vote is the cause of much excitement.
—King Humbert has authorized the reëstablishment of an Italian squadron in South American waters. The report states that the fleet will consist of three cruisers and one despatch boat.
—Prince Lobanoff-Rostovski, prime minister of Russia, died suddenly of heart disease while traveling in company with the czar from Vienna to Kieff. They were on a tour of Western Europe.
—An Athens despatch of the 4th inst. says that fighting has occurred in the Ekaterine district of Macedonia. The Turks lost forty-four killed, and the insurgent loss is said to be much heavier.
—The entire Japanese ministry has resigned, on account of a difference of opinion regarding the appointment of a representative at some foreign post. Count Kuroda has been appointed acting premier to succeed Count Ito.
—A New York Herald correspondent reports that the Cuban insurgents captured a Spanish convoy on the 23d ult., killing, wounding, or capturing the entire force of 300 men who were escorting the convoy. The commander and staff were disarmed and released.
—It is reported among the delegates to the Trades Union Congress, now in session at Edinburgh, Scotland, that a gigantic strike of dock laborers of the world is being planned, and that the most extensive labor movement yet conceived may be commenced this fall.
—It is reported that Captain-General Weyler has decided to prohibit the gathering of the sugar crop as a measure to cut off a source of subsistence from the Cuban insurgents. If both parties to this cruel war pursue the work of devastation, great destitution must certainly follow.
—Reports by way of Stornoway, Scotland, state that a severe earthquake occurred in Iceland, August 26. Two churches were destroyed, a number of cattle killed, and several farms seriously damaged. The center of the disturbance was in the vicinity of Mount Hecla, the noted volcano.
—A writer who claims personal acquaintance with the territory in dispute between Great Britain and Venezuela, says much of it is very rich in gold, and predicts a boom within a short time. Being an Englishman, he appeals to the home government not to yield possession of the disputed region.
—The foreign ambassadors at Constantinople have sent a joint note to government demanding a strict inquiry into the causes of the recent massacres in that city. The note quotes the declaration of two Musselmans, that they were provided with weapons by the police, and sent to kill Armenians.
—It is reported that the Russian Government proposes to establish a popular school system in Siberia. This, with the proposed cessation of the political exile system and the Trans-Siberian Railroad completed, will add much to the prospects of that extensive region. The present population is more than six million, and the productive capacity of the soil and mines beyond computation.
—The U. S. cruiser Cincinnati has been ordered to Constantinople for the double purpose, it is said, of making an imposing display of force, if President Cleveland should deem it necessary, and to relieve the Marblehead when Turkish affairs resume their normal condition. It is also expected that the Minneapolis will be ordered to join the San Francisco, Marblehead, and Cincinnati outside the Dardanelles.
—Sad stories come from Labrador of the destitution of the Indians in that region. The coasts frequented by them are almost depleted of game and fur-bearing animals, and the taking of beaver has been prohibited until 1900, in order to prevent a total destruction. Wild fowl eggs, which used to be a source of supply to the Indians, are now nearly all gathered by fishermen and other sailors from Newfoundland, and shipped to market.
—A former Californian, named Tibbits, who recently arrived from the scene of the Matabele insurrection in Africa, says: “The revolt is to be attributed to the unreasoning prejudice against whites, engendered in the natives by their ‘endunas,’ or witchcraft doctors, who went from kraal to kraal and preached animosity. At every convention of natives these ‘endunas’ were to be found telling them they should rise against the whites and drive them from the country.”
—Bishop Ingham, of the British colony of Sierra Leone, who is about to resign, anticipates disestablishment in that colony. The secretary of state for the colonies announces that he will not advise Her Majesty to appoint a successor to Bishop Ingham unless there is a strong opinion in the colony favorable to the appointment.
—A London paper criticizes American preachers in that city for their habit of introducing the names of Americans who are but slightly known in England. It reminds them that “many people may be well known in America who have no fame worthy of note abroad.” If all preachers would confine themselves to that which pertains to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they would not be subject to such criticism, which is no doubt a just one.
—The Mexican Government is seeking the extradition from the United States of the female “healer” Santa Teresa, her father, and the editor of a Mexican paper published in El Paso, Texas. They are charged with inciting an assault by the Yaqui Indians on the Mexican custom-house at Nogales, A. T., August 12, which resulted in the death of six Indians and three Mexicans. The Mexicans and Indians are passionately devoted to the young woman “healer.”
DOMESTIC.
—Natural gas and petroleum deposits have been discovered in Livermore Valley, Cal.
—Dr. C. A. Smith, of San Francisco, has taken out a patent for a flying machine, and a company has been formed for its construction.
—The California State Fair, at Sacramento, is said to be the finest exhibition yet inaugurated by the association, and to be unusually well attended.
—Fire at Norfolk, Va., on the 2d inst., destroyed a large plow factory and twenty-five other houses. The loss is estimated at $200,000. Many families are left homeless.
—A Los Angeles despatch of the 3d inst. brings the news that a cloudburst in Piru Cañon, Ventura County, caught three persons in its flood, and they were torn to pieces by the rocks and timber.
—A new phase of woman’s rights comes to the front in her assuming the role of circus clown. A great show now exhibiting in San Francisco boasts of three female clowns and a ringmistress.
—Two men, one aged 70 and the other 55, engaged in a fight with knives for the possession of a bottle of whisky, in Fresno County, Cal., last week, and the elder of the two was fatally wounded.
—The U. S. revenue cutter Perry has arrested two British sealing vessels and one American for pursuing their vocation inside of the prohibited area. This makes five arrests the present season.
—At the time of the recent rains in California there was also an extensive downpour in Arizona. Washouts occurred along the line of the Santa Fe Railroad for a distance of 100 miles, causing a delay of four days in the arrival of trains at Los Angeles.
—The Indiana Bicycle Works, at Indianapolis, have been shut down till after the election, and, as a consequence, 1,500 employees are out of employment. The president of the company gives as a reason that they can not risk further investment until the financial question is settled.
—Prohibition has wellnigh gained a complete victory in Georgia; that is, as far as human law can complete anything in the way of reform. Morgan County has just been carried by over five hundred majority, and now it is said that ninety-nine hundredths of the state is covered by prohibitory statutes.
—The gold Democrats have nominated Senator John M. Palmer, of Illinois, for President, and Hon. Simon B. Buckner, of Kentucky, for Vice President. During the civil war the former was a Union commander, and the latter was a commander of Confederate forces. They are aged, respectively, 79 and 75 years.
—A meeting of representatives of all the various railroad brotherhoods was held in Indianapolis August 30, to consider the matter of a general federation. The result was the adoption of a resolution favoring such a move. The death of the Railway Union did not quench the spirit of confederacy, which now pervades all classes of society as well as railroad employees.
—A Portland, Ore., despatch of August 31, reports an eruption on Mount Hood. A party of twenty persons had ascended to the summit, and were on the way down, when their attention was attracted by a roaring noise. Just over them was a cloud of smoke and steam, and the air was filled with flying stones and ashes. Then came an avalanche of bowlders right towards the party. However, the party all escaped injury excepting one young lady who was struck and thrown into a crevasse. She was subsequently recovered in an unconscious condition. She was considerably bruised, but was resuscitated, carried down the mountain, and when a physician was summoned she was pronounced not fatally injured. The eruption lasted but a few minutes.
—The powder works at Pinole, Contra Costa County, Cal., were almost entirely destroyed by an explosion on the 1st inst. Four white men and eight Chinese were killed, and several others were more or less injured. Fifteen months ago an explosion occurred at the same institution, which caused a loss of fourteen lives. The present disaster throws 130 men out of employment.
—China has become a competitor of the Pennsylvania and Welsh coal mines in the Pacific Coast trade of America. The Chinese coal comes from Tonquin, is practically unlimited in quantity, and is said to be fully equal in quality to the best in the market. The Tonquin anthracite can be sold in San Francisco a dollar or more per ton less than is now asked for Pennsylvania or Welsh coal of the same grade.
—A Denver, Colo., despatch tells of a family—husband, wife, and child—which arrived there on the 29th ult., having walked from Ogden, 800 miles. They had started from Sacramento, Cal., and before arriving at Ogden were robbed of their tickets and money. As the railroad men would not believe their story, they could not continue their journey by rail. They suffered terribly from exposure and lack of food, having been fifty-eight days on the way.
—Leadville, Colo., is in danger of being starved out in consequence of the prolonged strike of miners. Mine owners have decided to let the mining operations cease altogether rather than to yield to the demands of the Miners’ Union. As a result of the stoppage of pumps, the mines are being filled with water, which, in case of a desire to resume work, will retard actual work for several months. As 10,000 men and their families are dependent upon the mines for support, the business interests of the town are at a standstill, and the utter financial ruin of the place is said to be imminent.
—Li Hung Chang, the noted Chinese viceroy, who recently arrived in New York, takes much interest in our great industrial concerns, such as manufactories, railroads, etc. He says that the railroad men in Europe told him that they never had any railroad accidents, that such accidents all happened in America. When the Grant Monument is completed next year, a tree is to be planted in the name of the viceroy as a token of his regard for the great general. On entering New York Harbor, he asked to be shown President Cleveland’s metropolitan residence. He was under the impression that of course the head of a great nation must have a number of palatial residences, in different localities.
—An attempt to hold up a train about six miles from Sacramento, on the night of the 5th inst., was foiled by the coolness of the engineer. One man sat on the tender, covering the engineer with a revolver, while another conducted the fireman back to make him uncouple the train. The engineer kept his eye on the man who was guarding him, and, as the latter looked away to see what was delaying the operations, he quietly picked up his own pistol, which was lying near. He held it close to his side, and as his guard looked away a second time, he fired, and the highwayman fell dead. The engineer then opened the throttle and sped away. The other robber jumped from the train, which did not stop until it reached the Sacramento depot.
CHRIST IN THE GOSPELS,
By James P. Cadman
—OR—
The Life of our Lord in the Words of the Evangelists,
By JAMES P. CADMAN, A. M.
Is, as its Name Indicates, a Compilation in which the four Narratives of
THE LIFE OF CHRIST
ARE WOVEN INTO ONE CONNECTED STORY, MAKING A COMPLETE HARMONY OF THE GOSPELS IN THE EXACT LANGUAGE OF THE SCRIPTURES.
The text is that of the Revised Version, and while every word in the four Gospels appears, the work is so arranged that the reader can tell at a glance the words used in each Gospel. Those who have tried to gather all the facts concerning some miracle, or other event, and at the same time properly locate and credit the various parts of the narrative, will appreciate this book, which is the very best of its kind and gives evidence of an immense amount of careful and painstaking labor.
The book is fully indexed so that any text or subject can be readily found; and the maps, notes, and diagrams which it contains are alone well worth the price of the volume. The following partial (less than half) TABLE OF CONTENTS will give an idea of the scope of the work:—
Index to chapter and verses; Life of Our Lord (333 pages); Index of persons, places, and subjects, with dictionary of proper names; Explanation of maps and diagrams; Map of the pathway of Jesus; Diagrams illustrating the principal events of crucifixion week.
This work is invaluable, and all who love the Bible should have a copy. It contains 394 pages, is well printed on good paper, and is neatly and substantially bound in cloth.
