Grlswold waited and three barges went by and lis wold yelled at them, but they swept on without their Captains taking heed. Another anxious half hour went by and then the City of of the Norwich Line, hove In sight. -Again Mr. Grlswold sent forth his cry for' help, Capt, Keener, in the pilot house of the City of Lawrence, heard the voice and wondered whence It came. Aa he wondered several passengers on the deck below shouted to him: "Captain, there's a man overboard "Where cried the Captain.

"Right over there," they replied, pointing in the direction of the Long Island shore. Capt. Keeney looked sharply, and. sure enough, aaw Mr. Griswold in the water.

Mr. Griswold continuing to cry for a life preserver, a passenger threw him one. He was more intent, however, on catching the heaving line, which by order of Capt. Keeney. waa now being thrown to him by a deck hand.

At length Mr. Grlswold caught the line, and a strong pull and a pull altogether by half a dosen able-bodied rescuers brought him close to the steamboat. Then he waa pulled aboard and taken to New Tork. He waa put to bed and given stimulants, so when he reached New Tork he waa O. K.

The Influence of the sun varies enormously on Afferent Individuals, some of SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON FOR JULY 19. By Brv. J. E.

Gilbert, D. Secretary of American Societal of Seligious Education. THE ARK BROUGHT TO JERUSALEM II. Semnol vt, 1-12. CONTEXT.

After the account of David's prosperity, aa In the last lesson, the sacred writer record the Increase of his family. (Cb, u-ic.) Like other Eastern kings be practiced polygamy and "took him wives and ooncubines," becoming the head of numerous households. This fact la stated without approval. The di vine law of marriage Is the same In all ages, but David's conduct must be Judged In the light of the times in which hs lived. The reference to family matters Is followed by recital of exploits in war.

Learning that Jerusalem had been taken the Philistines came up to battle. Repulsed, they came again and were defeated. (Cb. 17-26.) Having conquered the strongest nation east of the Jordan, Israel devoted lta energies to Internal affairs. David conceived the purpose of bringing the ark of the covenant to Jerusalem.

(Ex. a) Captured by the Philistines and returned. It had been twenty years in Kirjaxh-Jearlm. Baal of Judah. HON OR.

David gathered together at Klrjath-Jearim 10,000 chosen men of Israel. This vast representative congregation had no military significance there would be no need of force. Primarily It waa Intended to honor the ark. aa the sanctuary of God's presence. Made by Moeea 400 years before, lta very age aa well as Its assooiatlooa also entitled It to reverence.

Moreover, the popular approval waa desired for its removal. Many thousands had repaired to worship during It stay at Klrjatb-Jearim. In its transfer to the national capital -It was proposed to make that the center and seat of public worship. Hence these thousands present to participate would afterward go Into all parte of the land to report. Such appeals to the favor of the people attended the whole course of Jewish history.

(L Kings vtiL. L) They were indications of the dignity with which revealed religion Invests the Individual. David's seal on this occasion waa afterward celebrated. (Pa 4-e.) ESCORT. When the people were assembled at Kirjath-Jearlm the ark was brought out of the house of Ablnadab and placed on a cart made for the purpose.

Ths sons of Ablnadab, Usaab and Anio. were appointed to drive the cart, the latter going before and the other behind or at the aide. These two men had probably been consecrated to keep the ark In the place of their brother, Eleaxar (L Sam. vlL. 1), first appointed, supposed then to be dead.

The great procession, comprising the king, his counsellors, the eiders, the men of war, moved away eastwardly toward Jerusalem. The distance, about fifteen miles, might have been easily covered in four or five hours, and the head of the column might have reached the capital as the rear was leaving Ablnadab'a house. The whole of the way would thus have been filled with a moving mass of people, one ot the most notable processions of history. Its significance fsr exceeded any triumphal march ot a victorious general returning from a foreign war. MUSIC While tending hie fathera flock David cultivated the harp, and hia skill In It use brought him early fame and Introduced blm Into the service of Saul.

(L Sam. xvU, 23.) His youthful tastes were carried to the throne. He employed men singers and women singers and Introduced all manner of musical instruments Into Jerusalem and Into the palace. All thla he turned to religious account (L Chron. vL, il).

rendering public worship a delight. So on this occasion, the harp, the psaltory, the timbrel, the cornet and the cymbal were played, as the ark and its royal escort moved toward their destination. David himself was among the musicians, all the ardor of his early years being awakened to express ths gladness of his heart In melody. The text Implies (verse S) that the people united with him, forming a grand orchestra, aa they passed along the way, a kind of festival. No shouts of laughter, no boast of personal achievement, no loud acclaims heralding the approach of the mighty were beard, but the sweet tender sounds that echoed the heart's emotions and wafted praises to God.

RASHNESS. At Nschoo's threshing floor the procession suddenly halted. Us-aah, one- of the keepers of the ark, had been instantly smitten with death. Thla event waa regarded as a direct visitation from God. (Verse 7.) The manner of the death or some incident not recorded indicated the divine displeasure.

The precise nature of the offense la not stated, but be islam, eaan. who ware it An Unsolicited TcstimonlaL (From the Democrat, Atlanta Tex.) "Being constantly asked by many of mf frlands if Dr. Williams' Pink Pllla for Pale People were doing me any good, I offer this unsolicited testimonlsl and answer: Never having seen a weU day. since I had typhoid lever last summer, I could retain scsroely any food, my I'mba and joints ached and pained all the time.

It arrests the light, which often works such Injury, but It 'Is uncomfortably hot, and soon becomes objectionable from lta absorption of perspiration. "According to a royal engineer, who is stationed In India, the boon and Messing beyond compare to those who have to spend part of their Uvea under a tropical sunlight Is an orange-colored shirt.

He declared that he frequently fell alck after duty In the sun until he treated himself as a photographic sensitive plate and surrounded his body with, yellow light. All clothing, however thick. allows certain rays to pass, and although thick clothing would arrest all the Injurious elements of sunlight. It would interfere with the escape of bodily heat. The yellow shirt, for sensitive people who are much In hot sunlight, la aa excellent protection, only Inferior to that -simplest and best of ail Indian proteo-tives, a white umbrella, which has not yet been widely used In this country." i hauling the ark, stumbled and caused It to shake, and Uasah put out hia hand to steady it.

There should have been no oxen employed. David appears to have followed the example of the Philistines (L Sam. vU, 1-16), and to have forgotten the law which required the ark to be borne on the ahould-i era of priesta (Numb. lv a) The terrible death may hava been a punishment for this irregularity. It may be that Uasah had become careleee and Irreverent, partly because of this mode of handling the sacred vessel, and partly because of his long connection with it.

As its custodian, he may have indulged in a familiarity, net longer tat be tolerated, somewhat after the spirit of Nad ah and Ablhu In the wilderness. (Lev. 1-4.) FEARING. The purpose to carry the ark to Jerusalem was abandoned. In the presence of the dead.

David waa con-! i -fused and afraid. He had reason to think' that to some extent he also was Involved. Waa God pleased with his undertaking? Ought the ark to be removed? Had the right method been employed? Such, questions would naturally arise in the mind of the king, as he sought for an explanation of thla disaster. How often In this life good men find themselves and their projects overwhelmed by mysterious interpositions of Providence. There wss nothing for David to do but to wait and learn the will of God.

The ark was therefore carried aside to the house of. Obed-Kdom, the Glttlte (L Chron. a Levlte of the family of Kohath, entitled to receive It. Then the people dispersed, to their homes. Ordinarily one would be greatly disappointed at the failure of a measure, so publicly announced.

Did David lose prestige with the people? Were they disposed to criticise him or to question his leadership? The Scripture does) not answer. BLESSING. The entrann nt the ark. Into his home proved Immensely profitable! to Obed-Edom. The verv act of niacin it there waa a mark of confidence and dis tinction mat gave nim national honor.

Besides, the ark was the sanctuary of Divine presence, and God dwelt In It and blessed those who received it. During the three, months which the good man kept hlsi trust, he wss abundantly and openly re-1 warded, even as Laban m-j, f.vnri f. Jacobs sake, (Gen. 27.) The Messing of God waa both spiritual and material. There was a direct Influence upon the soul.

Ktaanes. ana an at-, tending good, entering into all worldly af-' fairs. (Deut Such waa the blessing that came upon Joseph In Egypt (Gen. 2). upon Job in the latter end of his life (Job 12).

upon Abraham and the patriarchs. (Gen. L) Solo- mon understood this and referred to It (Prov. 111., 10). as did also the last of the prophets.

(Mai. 10.) ENCOURAGED. The blessinr that came upon Obed-Edom waa spperent to all. The Sifts of God can not ha m.ih They are so rich and numerous, withal so peculiar, aa to point directly to the Giver, and thus become the distinguishing marks i-tim ivur mail is), comment la excited and ere long the prosperity of a good man becomes a standing proof that God loves His own, a most valuable method of advancing religion (Prov. vilt.

1S-17). Word was brought to David concerning Oned-Edom's fortune. He learned that th ark was not to be feared, that lta pre- ence was greatly to be desired. Ths interval since Usxah's death may have bees) Improved In medltaxion upon the whole matter, and his purpose was reawakened and his plan revised. Particularly did he provide this Urn thst the ark ahould be born by the priests (I.

Chron. Z). and that a place, a tabernacle, should bo prepared for it In advance. Moreover, the Levlte sanctified themselves for the occasion (I. Chron.

xv 12). And when all d. tails were arranged a procession waa formed as before and the ark was carried with rejoicing into the city. CONCLUSION. His care for the ark was a proof of David'a piety.

Unlike hia predecessor he relied upon the help of God for success in the administration of his government, and like Moms, deter-, mined to employ all rightful means to so-cure the divine presence. (Ex. His set wss therefore a return te the theocratic spirit. From that day forward the nation grew more and more into Its original form, and gradually advanced toward the golden era of its history. A few years later a temple waa substituted for the tabernacle in which the ark was deposited, and that became the center of hope and Influence for centuries In many passage, prepared for worship, David breathed the noblest sentiments of the heart, inspired aa he considered himself in the very bouse of God.

(pa. 2-4.) And no there went forth among the people a peculiar reverence for the ins0- tutions of religion. That reverence waa undoubtedly Increased by the circumstances attending the bringing of the ark Into Jerusalem. -7 v..
