PRACTICAL SURVEY,
Topic. -A Nation Seeking God.
.T. Held to Strict observance of law.
II. Blessed in united consecration.
Held to strict observance of
taw. The establishment of a strong
centre of government at Jerusalem
was David's first kingly victory. As
shepherd of the nation, he saw that to
11111111 its highest destiny it must rest
upon a strictly religious foundation.
The union of all the tribes, the con-
quest of Jerusalem, the defeat of the
Philistines, all prepared the. way for
the re-eetablishment of national re-
tigion. The thought of a restoration
of the piety of former days was an in-
spiration to David. His ruling passion
was zeal for the hoese and worship of
God, There appears to have been at
this period a general neglect of the
law of Motes and ignorance of its
requirenients. The glories et the ark
had largely passed into history. To re-
cover the ark would be to Israel the
coming back of God elivaself to a peo-
ple whom He had temporarily fOrsalt-
on. David exhibited a commendable
desire to interest the whole nation, as
far as possible, in the solemn service.
Ills sou). was aroused to grasp spiritual
realities, and through him came the
awakening of a new enthusiasm, re-
markable in the national life contrast -
ea with the stolid indifference during
the reign oe Saul. In placing the ark
on a new cart drawn by °ten,' after
the manner of the heathen, they acted
contrary to the divine ordinance, as
David subsequently acknowledged. The
death of ()kali was an impressive de-
monstration that Jehovah their God
was still among there the letting God,
the Almighty, the Holy One, observing
and punishing sin. It showed that their
lame were not obsolete though forgot-
ten. It formed a 'tart of the education-
al process by which God was bringing
the people out of their low spiritual
condition that they might be Mote ef-
fective in carrying out Ills purposes in
the world. • By none was the death of
Uzzah tnore keenly felt than by the..

11. Blessed in united eonsecration,
Through Obed-eclom Davitre faith was
quickened, Although he was shocked
and alarmed by the dealt of Uzzala he
did not give up his purpose, At length
he led the people in united consecra-
tion to bring the ark to Jerusalem.
The accomplishment of his delayed
purpose was marked by strict obedi-
ence to the law of God, and carried out
with more careful end diligent pre -
Aeration than before,. It was accom-
panied with retreated worship. A tab-
ernacle was made ready for it be-
fitting its nature. It was a united na-
tional transaction, It was a season of
great gladness. it wan the inaugura-
tion of a, better era in religion. It
was the greatest day in David's life,
the turning -point la the history of the
nation, a glorious consummation. It
made manifest the charaeter of Is-
rael' e king. The spring of David's joy
lay in his restored perception of wbat
the ark of the covenant really was to
himself and his people. Michael, Dav-
id's wife, the daughter of Saul, could
not appreciate Um religious element in
David's character. She was not in the
spirit of the day. Her words of in-
sult and reproach bespeak the charac-
whiele led Saul to become a snare
to David. They were bitterness in Dav-
id's eup of joy, Of all Israel Michel
was the only one to despise David.
His gentle, but firm, reply revealed his
suffering while it bespoke his firm
purpose to be true to the religion of
his nation, -.'j'. R, A.
