THE KING*3 TRAYER, 16-27, ( Introduction — Our lesson story appears twice in Old Testament his* • tory, here and in 2 Samuel, chap. 7. • The books of Chronicles were written long after the books of Samuel and ; Kings and cover in part the same : ground. The story of David is found in 1 Chron., chaps*- 10-29, and is drawn from older sources, one of | which may have been our books of ; 1 Samuel. That other sources were : used seems clear from the reference ; made in 27: 24 to “the chronicles of ; king David,” and in 29:29-39 to “the book of Samuel the seer,” “the book < of Nathan the prophet,” and “the book of Gad the seer.” It is evident that there were early histories written by prophets, and these may very well have furnished a considerable part of the matter now- contained in the older books of Samuel and Kings as well as in the later books of Chronicles.! See also 2 Chron. 9:29; 12:15, e'.c. * Is it possible that this story of the prophet’s message and the king’s prayer was drawn from the book of Nathan? I. THE PROPHET’S MESSAGE, 1-15. Nathan the prophet was the friend and confidential adviser of David throughout his reign. Here he resists David’s desire to build a temple. On ' a later occasion we nd him rebuking 1 • David for a serious crime.

Tiny hand-made pleats and small piping are fashionable'. Some dresses are decorated either with wide or narrow tucks in circular form, at regular intervals up the dress, and tucks may be used to indicate a bo­ lero e£oct at the back, Another dres" lias sectional tucking, showing groups of six or seven tucks at the original waist line and another group at a, low hip line. If the sleeves are long, the same motif may be intro­ duced hero. Novel Effect A novel effect is achieved with sun­ burst tucks. These may be effectively used at the back of a coat, radiating from the neck, or on the bodice of a gown showing a side teniug. Several models this some form or another side of the figure, both on the bodice and the skirt, and ties are much used for fastening. Thi3 style of design is particularly effective for printed chiffons. For tea parties and smart gatherings printed chiffon dresses will be much worn, though cream-color or black lace dresses are likely to be equally popular. Tho latter "are worn with a transparent cape or printed voile coat. The printed voila coat is a new notion this season and it would be difficult to picture a more pleasing effect than that suggested by a lace dress and transparent pattern coat. With this ensemble will be carried a email parasol of printed silk, trimmed with a ruched edge and depending fro^i a, strap made of colored beads.

I Lord, David said, remaineth under I curtains, that is, in a tent, which had apparently teen set up for it in cherries 'Jerusalem (2 Sam. 6:17; 1 Chron.. 116:1). The king’s words suggested a desire on his part to build a teqiple, which would be a fit dwelling place for the holy presence which, was al­ ways associated with the ark. Nathan said, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee. But in the night there came to Nathan a clearer rev­ elation of God’s will. David was a( warrior and a nation builder. His task wa3 not yet complete. It may have been that Nathan was led to see that David’s energies were better employ­ ed at that time of crisis in consoli­ dating and strengthening the king­ dom which God had1 given him. An­ other man, of a different type, was to be the builder of the temple. (Com­ pare 1 Kings 5:1-5 and 1 Chron. 22: 6-11.) Nathan saw clearly too that Je­ hovah’s dwelling with his people was n-ot dependent upon the size or qual­ ity of the house which they might: build for him, nor even upon the place whereupon it might be set.

It became an article of religion to believe that the succession of David’s royal line was fired and established forever. To David himself it was “an everlasting covenant, ordered in all things and sure” (2 Sam. 23:5). Out of this declaration sprang th9 hope of the coming of a great and perfect and glorious king, the Messiah, the Sa­ viour. When the kingdom came to an end the prophets and people recalled this hope with questioning and dis­ tress of mind, as in Psalm 89 (see es­ pecially the poetic version of Nathan’s Add the Seal ATTRACTIVE NEW This charming one-piece quite simply fashioned' and cbedingly smart style.
