IC—tUpentance: What It I , and What
It Do**.
I. David'* Crimea (II Sam. 11).
1. Adultery (vv. 4, 5).
Be by his kingly authority brought
Bathsheba, the beautiful wife of
Uriah, one of his brave *oldIers, Into
his harem.
2. Murder (vv. 14-18).
DaVId" sought to cover up his shame
ful' &ct of adultery with Bathsheba by
c&lUDg Uriah from the field of battle
and glvlug him a furlough at home
with hi* wife. (He first gave him hon
orable recognition by sending a por
tlon of meat from the royal table—
r. S.) Uriah's high sense of military
duty and propriety would not allow
tilui to do this.
Falllug In this, David corrupted hint
Dy making him drunk, with the ex-
pectation that Uriah would thus go
home. When these schemes would
not work he resorted to the terrible
crime of exposing Uriah to the most
dangerous place In the battle where
he would surely be killed.
II. Contributing Factors In David'*
Fill.
t idleness (11:1).
it was the king's responsibility to
go forth with his army to battle.
David tarried al Jerusalem because
of Indolence or self-Indulgence.
2. He looked upon a beautiful worn
an (11:2).
As he was lounging in idleness, this
temptation was too great for him. He
yielded to his lustful impulse and sent
lus servants to bring the woman to
iiitn. This action on the part of David
is absolutely inexcusable. David had
the power to turn from this s!n and
i hus escape temptation.
III. David Rebuked by Nathan, the
Prophet (12:1-12).
What David had done displeased
the Lord (11 :27). What lie had done
grutlfied his own carnal lust, but the
serious thing Is that It displeased the
Lord. Because David was God's own,
God could not let the matter rest. He
therefore sent Nathan. His prophet
to him.
1. The parable of the ewe lamb
Hvv. X-fl).
Among the Jews It was cu.-touiui)
to have pet lambs which wi re hrouglii
up with the children of the family
&ud therefore regarded >\litt tender
affection. Nathan plciui > > before
David a poor man whose sole posses
ston consisted of one such lamh. and a
rich neighbor when entertaining a
guest had appropriated unto himself
this lamb lnstend of drawing upou his
numerous dock. This so aroused
David's anger that he declared that
the rich man should restore fourfold,
and In addition forfeit his life Na
than declared: "Thou art the man
in spite of David's awful sin, he had
burning Indignation against the wr«>ug
doer.
2. Sentence of Judgment (vv.7-12).
Perhaps no history record* an In
dlctment o terrible as this one.
(1) He recounted unto David God's
peculiar favor (vv 7. 8).
God had taken him from the sheep
cote und lifted liini to the throne
made him king over all Israel He
t.ao delivered him from Saul's iiiur
derous plots and he had Inherited
Saul's royal possessions.
(2) David's shameful treatment ut
God's law (v. 9).
He pointed out that tie had violated
Both tables of tbe law by worshiping
i he (kid of passion and had practiced
covetousness. robbery, lying and mui
der.
(3) The awful Judgment pronounced
( tv. 10-12).
l'he prophet declared that the sword
should never depart from David's
house. He had used (he sword to
■lay Uriah. God in His retributive
Justice permltte^ the sword to re
main In David'* house.
IV. David** Confesaion (vv. 13-23)
The confession of sin was so real to
David (bat he declared that It hud
been committed against God (Ps.51 :4)
He now wa* made fully conscious of
his broken condition. He realized
what It meant to be without Inno
,'*nc*. Though he confessed bis sin
a* recorded In Psalm 32. and God for
tit* Mm, he had to suffer its cotise
ilMAce. "Whatsoever a tnnt> sowetli
that shall he also reap."

Let any man examine his thoughts,
and he will find them ever occupied
with the past or the future. We scarce
ly think at all of the present; or if
we do, it is only to borrow the light
which it gives for regulating the fu-
ture. The present is never our object;
the past and the present we use as
means; the future only is our end.
Thus, we never live, we only hope to

sweet potatoes and peas. Every-
one at the party resolved to in-
troduce it into the home meals.
Soon it was seen everywhere, in
any course, in dishes hot or cold.
It is amazing how many ways peo-
ple are finding to use pineapple.
History Like a Romance
Indeed, the quick acceptance
of pineapple by the American
people as an everyday food reads
like a romance. In J892 an
English nurseryman, Captain Kid-
well, and his friend, John Em-
meluth, after many difficulties
shipped the first canned pine-
apple from Hawaii to the United
States. They operated their
modest canning plant until 1888,
when they sold out, little suspect,
ing what they had started. Then
James D. Dole, a young Harvard
most was the cleanliness apparent
everywhere, and the high health
standard of the employees. Every-
one looked happy and worked
cheerfully. There can be no doubt
but that the Hawaiian Pineapple
Company ranks among the most
advanced plants in the United
States from the standpoint of size,
sanitation and efficiency."
So, we shall always feel safe
eating canned pineapple—indeed,
many doctors have said that
canned food is the safest food
that comes to our tables—for we
know that it has been picked in
its fullest maturity, and canned
with the utmost care and clean-
liness. Its stimulating flavor is
imprisoned in the cans, and we
have only to open them to taste
pineapple as it tastes in the fields
of Hawaii.
Here are a few recipes for sal-

man, came ^to Hawaii, intending , ads jn which pineapple is the dis-
tinctive feature:
Pineapple Supper Salad: To
make a salad for six people,
mix one and a half cups of drained
crushed pineapple with two cups
finely shredded cabbage, one-half
cup seedless raisins, one-hnlf cup
French or mayonnaise <l:v.-s'ng,
and arrange on shredded rontaine
or lettuce leaves.
Pineapple Jf'aldorf Salad:

to grow coffee. Instead, he be-
came interested in pineapples.
This fruit, he concluded, was the
ideal crop of Hawaii, and canning
the ideal way of sending it to
market. So he urged his neigh-
bors to plant pineapples, while
he himself went back to Boston
to raise money W< build a cannery.
In 1908 Dole's cannery put up
1898 cases of pineapples. Fifteen
years later the output from
Hawaii was 6,000,000 cases, and
on crisp lettuce leaves.
of each put a mound of
celery, diced apple, and
all well combined with
nalse. Decorate each
with prunes stuffed with walnuts.
Mixed Fruit Salad: In the
center of a nest of lettuce place
a slice of canned Hawaiian pine-
apple. Arrange on top and
around the pineapple, slices of
orange, grapefruit, banana and
dates. Thinly sliced fresh pear
is also a welcome ingredient in
this salad. Use a whipped cream
or mayonnaise dressing.
Pineapple and Chicken Salad:
For six people mix two cups of
diced cooked chicken with three-
fourths cup chopped celery, one
cup drained sliced pineapple cut
into small pieces, and one cup
mayonnaise dressing. Arrange on
lettuce leaves either shredded or
whole, and garnish with thin slices
of cucumber and stuffed olives.
Pineapple and Cream Cheese
Salad: Arrange slices of pine-
apple on lettuce leaves, sr.d in
the center of each slice put a
smiare of cream cheese decorated
with slices of stuffed olive. On the
outer rim of each slice of pine-
apple put thin rinfs of sweet
green peppers snd inside of these,
slices of orange.
With any of th<-"e salads encept
that which has chicken in it a
cooked pineapple dressing may
be used if desired. The recipe
for this dressing is as follows:
Melt one tablespoon of butter in
the top of a double boiler, add
one tablespoon of flour, and one-
eighth teaspoon of salt. Stir
well : nd add one cup pineapple
juice and two tablespoons lemon
juice. When smooth, remove,
chill and fold in one-half cup of
whinped cream.
