Nathan was not seht. as a hernia of
vengeance, but to eprove ana con-
vince of ••sin. His parable touched upon
the experience of David. He had known
what it was to be poor, lie knew what
it -was to Possess and love the iambs,
The wise prophet led David to pass
unconscious verdict upon himself, The
effect of the application of the parable
is rt remarkable illustration of the
power of conscience. The force of
truth came in the partiettlar applica-
tem of it. The wicked man utak the
throne saw for the first time what his
sin really involved. It -was guilt cal-
culated upon, persisted in, covered up
by sophistry and self -excusing. Ile

faithful servant Uriah, a brave soldier,
whom he had sent without warning to
..his doom, through the help of ;real), an
able, but unsceupulous, general and a
ready accomplice in David's sin. In
that fatal letter to Joab, David signed
away his liberty and surrendered him-
self to his accomplice, who served him
that hemight gale power over him.
David seemed to have lot sight of the
ene Witness of the whole transaction
of his guilt. The most potatt element
in Nathan's utterance was the direct
charge of God. His words contained
an* inquiry and a statement. it was
a time of conviction, of probing and
0
heart-searching.
11. Led to confession of sin. It be-
came evident to David that his long -
kept secret was known to ' his most
influential and incorruptible subject
aad friend and that God was speaking
(erectly to his conscience, The' eye of
conenience, turned in upoh himself,
gave fresh life to the olCsuppressed
loyalty to righteousness and God, and
as a consequence full confession came
of hie sin against God. The purpose of
the parable was reached. He was self -
convicted, self-condenumel. His sense
of ain was the beginning °earls salva-

love melted the hardened heart. It
was a rapid transition , of feeling'
through which David passed front tra

the ackeowledment of his own actual
crime, •

dn. The history here recorded may
be regarded as a strong argument in

scriptures. Th0 sacred biographer did
not la any sense try to cover up
David's sins, nor did he seek to shield
him front blame. He tells the story
with a simplicity ad a candor that

David would epeak of his sins in

altogether. David was of mature age

he was plunged into infamy. His in
Mews that good men must remember
their liability to fall, and must be
constantly watchful lest they yield to
temptation- Bath-sheba, who was par-
taker of his sin, did not exercise be-
coming prudence. She exposed herselt
to the view of David, and she later
seems to have offered no resistance to
Ids desires; thus sloe contributed to
the downfall of both.
6-21. One sin ted to another, as Is
usnally the case, Uriah, the husband
ot Bath-sheba, was one of David's most
faithful and capable warriors. So de-
voted was he that he would not leave
the king's service in time of war to
enjoy the comforts .of his home, even
when urged to do so by the king.
David .becante desperate, for the death
Penalty, the punishment for adultery,
was likely to be inflicted upon Bath-
sheba and himself.. Uriah must be put
•out of the way that David might take'
ltis wife for himself. He would not
'slay him, but he would give instruc-
tions to joab, the general of his army,
to place him where he would be almost
certain to lose his life. He thus be-
came guilty of shedding Innocent -blood
to cover his own guilt: Uriall was
:slain in the battle, for Joab followed
the directions given hime by David,
.and thus apparently became in some
degree involved with David in the
etime of murder. Dr Clarke sant, in
summing up the whole affair: "For
my own part, I must say that 1 pity
Dm id, I venerate Uriah, I detest Joab,
tine I think meanly of Batheslieba";
but while Davie. was to be pitied, he
deserved also to be strongly condemn-
ed, for of what greater On could he
bare been guilty?
11, Bath -Sheba becomes David's wife
(13.22-27). 22. The messenger-Joab,
sent a messenger from Rabbah, a city
of the Ammonites, twenty-two miles
east of the Jordan, to David with worel
regardifig the war which he was wag-
ing. The main purpose, however, in
sending the meseetiger was to inform
David that Urialt was dead. 23.

the city, made a sally against „Thab's

Uriah., .,is dead-Joab alad so cares

tali fell, and sPeelal mull= is made
of his death , by the meesenger. 25.
Thus shalt thou eay unto deab-This
raessage was dictated by an abomin-
able hypoerisy, He Wound thils affect

and seek to cover his own guilt in

another-Joab was thus apPrOved by
David, though David knew that a pilot
had been laid by him and Joab to have
Urlalt slain.
26, Mourned for lier husband -How
aeeply Batlasheba mourned for Uriah
we can uot keow with eertainty, bet
all the eirbumstances incline's that the
mourning- Was mostly foental. Her in-
fatuation had cost her her lathes and
a noble husband. 27. When the mourn-
ing was past -The usual period of
mourning was seven days. In the case
of promfreent persons it was thirty
days. The length of time that widows
should mourn for their husbands ie no-
where stated. David sent. .,.and she
became his wife -The guilty pair were
acting contrary to all sense ot pro-
priety. They seemed to think their sin
was not known and they would enjoy
themselves in their new relation. Dis-
pleased the Lord -David had not yet
settled with Clod. This record show
God's mind regarding DJ rid's course.
God'disp-easure was about to find
expression in so emphatic a way that
David weuld keenly realize the en-
ermity of his sins.

that he was thus strongly condemning
himself. The parable was having the
designed effect. "It fastens on the es-
sential guilt of David's sin;' not its
sehsuality or ite Impurity, so mueh as
it meanness and selfishness" -Stan -'

Boots That
Woo "the Test
AE 5 II 0 I( D N aleCREADY LIMITED,
Canada's largest slam maaufacturero, sup-
plied, within thirty-three days, 32,217 pairs of
leather ankle boots and 30,000 pairs of canvas
oboes for the outfitting of the First Canadian
Contingent, the lergest quantity supplied by
any manufacturer.
These boots wero worn by our mashers on
active service both in thin country and in the
training tamps In England, They were sub-
jected to the most severe tango that boots
could be subjected to. They travelled over
rough roads and smooth. They waded through,
Mud and through slush past all description.
They were soaked by the never-veasing rains
of an abnormally wet English winter. They
wore baked on hot stoves, grilled on steam
radiator's and roasted before open fires, Yet,
vim STOOD THE TEST.
Out of the- entire a2,217 pairs of leather
boots supplied by this compitay only a single
pair was shown, to be open to criticism when
the• Government enquiry was made six months
later.
Experts employed by the Government exam -
teed 1365 pairs and 348 odd boots made by
various manufacturers. Among the number
were found only seven 'pairs of boots of Ames
Holden McCready manufacture, of which nye
were found to be repairable, one pair uurepair-
able, and ONE PAIR HAD A SOLE UNDER
GAUGE,
The best proof of the durability and service-
ability of the Ames Holden McCready boots,
however, was afforded by tbe sworn state-
ments of soldiers who had worn these boots
constantly from the time they were issued he
September, 1914, right tarough to March, 1915.
They swore that they had worn the boots
she through all the rough experiences at Whew -
tier and on Salisbury Plain and' that theY
had given excellent service throughout. Ser-
geant Nussey, 'of Toronto, wao had served
twelve years in the British Army, appeared be,
fore the Committee with a• pair of sued" boots
still on his feet and submitted them to the
committee's inspection.
The testimony of thesewitnessee has since
been amply corroborated bY namerous reporte
and letters reeeived from °facers and soldiere
at the trent all testifying to the good wearing
qualities of the Ames Holden McCeeady boots.
* *
Mann the equeetiOn. Was raised concerning
the quality of the Canadian soldiers' beede,
4ntes Bolden McCready Limited aliteed them-
selves IMMEDIATELY upon record, by writing
to the Government, as desirous of having the
most thorough Investigation of the matter. The
aPPeintment of a Parliamentary Committee mad
the °Metal enquiry followed. It occupied sev-
eral weeks' time, The Committee stopped at
nothing in their efforts to get at all the facts.
'Phis Company Purebaged the best leather
And eupplice available in Canada and spared no
expense in manufacturing the boats, All our
invoices, and shop and manufacturitig records
were produced before the Parliamentary Com-
enittee for their Inspection and information.
We had nothing to hide and were proud of the
boots winch were furnished to the Government.
THE AMES HOLDEN McCREADY BOOTS
CAME 013T OF THE ORDEAL 'UNSCATHED.
The Committee reported to Parliament that
the boote supplied by this company substan-
tially complied with the sample, thaat paperbeen 001-
ur other fraudulent substances hdene
ployed in their manufacture and that alt
charges involving the integrity of this company
or of the boots supplied by them had been
abundantly disproven by the sworn evidence
taken before the Committee.
The report, which was adopted by Parlia-
ment, was A COMPLETE VINDICATION FOR
AMES HOLDENakteCREADY LIMITED.
* s. *
In bringing these facts prominently before
the people of the Dominion, Ames Holden
McCready Litnited are actuated by the desire
not *only to protect their own good nettle -
which needs no vindication with the thousands
of Cauadians who are familiar with this Com-
pany and its products - but Also that of a
, notable and important Canadian. Industry,
which has been unwarrantably aspersed.
