David's success brought with
It no bitterness of regret over
the means by which that suc.
cees had been won.
Had David purchased success
at the compromise of principle ,
or the commission of crime , It i
would have cast a cloud upon
his life which would have over.
shadowed him to the very grave
Itself.
Take success In the world to.
d.i'Y which Is achieved by quest
tlonable means , how certainly
do the misdeeds uncover them.
oelves at last , and relentlessly
I and persistently follow the per.
petrator.
Success won by any but fair
means brlngtJ unreot of soul ,
; : md merits' the contempt and
scorn of the orld ,
What shall It profit a man
If he gain the whole world at
the sacrifice of honor , or obedl.
ence to God's Jaw , or service to
his brother man ?
Faith th t can walt brings
succeso which will endure. The
, road of preGent expediency docs
not lead to , the land of perfect
realization.
It was a long time from the !
anointing at Bethlehem until the
crowning at Hebron , But the +
God who promises at '
hem Is the God who can keep
through the vicissitudes Bethle'l
years 1nd cn fulfill to the min.
utest detail his Gpoken word.
i The man who Is willing to
i take only the success which
God gives Is the man Into whose
hands God commits his most 1m.
portant trusts.
David's chIef adviser was the
Heaenly ! Friend whose wisdom
Is above man's wisdom , and
whose faithfulness never slack.
ens.
ens.How often In the chapters be.
fore us we find the statement
I that David Inquired of the Lord
as to the course he ohould pur.
sue. Even thlo man of affairs
with the dlGclpline of the years
upon him dare not trust to his
own wisdom. He must seek
the Divine guidance , by which
alone he could walk In the
straight path which would dellv.
er. him from the snares of the
enemy and estilblloh him In the
kingdom which so long before
had been plomlsed : to him.
In all of his tribulations and
. adversities David was the cheer.
ful optimist whose vision was :
from &bove even while his feet .
walked the un.certaln pathways :
. of the world.
We may not all be called to :
kingdoms , but we may all have .
the privilege of the Divine :
.
guidance and the consciousness
that God's presence Is with us , :
be the place we fill ever so :

quently blllhe aud willy souls.
. The present method by which the
rude law casts those men Into the
common jail with murderers and an.
ar hlsts Is , according to Mr. Geotlng ,
the destruction of many of them , who
are only suCferlng from a sUght moral
twist which . .might be straightened
out by the application of much milder I
mothods.
The scheme which Mr. Geotlng In.
tends to urge on the governor and legIslature -
Islature of Illinois Is the formation of
a IIttlo town along novel lines. The
town wHl bo sltuatod In the center of
a little garden , where peaches and
roses may grow. For fear the rural
simplicity of the place might pall on
the clly bred InhalJltants and tempt
thom to return to wicked places like
Chicago , a stout wa1\ \ wilt bo erected
a1\ \ about the town , whose ugliness can
bo concealed with 'tralltng vines and'
gooseberry bushes.
A1\ \ criminals who have not homicidal -
cidal tendencies or have not been In
