International Le ison Comments For Octo?
ber 18.
Subject: David's Confession, Psa. 51, M7?
Golden Text, Psa. SI, IO?Memory Verses,
1*4?Commentary on the Day's
Lessen.
I. David's prayer for forgiveness (vs.
1-4). 1, 2. "Have mercy," etc. Or, be
gracious unto me. Mark the gradation in
the three words expressing God's love: 1.
Haye mercy denotes that kind of affection
which is expressed by moaning over an ob?
ject we love and pity. 2. Loving kindness
denotes a large and liberal disposition to
goodness and compassion. 3. Tender mer?
cies denote the most tender pity of which
the nature is susceptible. "Transgres
pions." Sin is described, as in Ex. 34:7,
in three different aspects, as transgression,
iniquity, sin; the Hebrew words thus ren?
dered mean respectively, (1) defection
from God or rebellion against Him; (2)
the perversion of right, depravity of con?
duct; (3) error, wandering from the right
way, missing the mark in life. "Bl<ft out
. . . wash . . . cleanse." The removal of
guilt is also described by the use of three
different expressions. 1. Sin is regarded
as a debt recorded in God's book which
needs to be blotted out. 2. Wash is fre?
quently used for ceremonial purifications
(Titus 3:5). 3. Cleanse suggests the com?
parison of sin with leprosy. This shows
that the un is deep-seated and needs a
thorough treatment.
3, 4. "I acknowledge." I know my
transgressions and freely confess them.
The willingness to know sin i.s the first
step towards repentance. Observe also
that David otes the plural form as in verse
1. He had (1) broken the seventh com?
mandment, (2) caused thc death of Uriah,
(3) used deceit, (4) covered his sin, (5)
hardened his heart, (6) dishonored bil
family (7) injured his friends, (S) weak?
ened his kingdom. Thus no sin ever stands
alone, but "each single transgression is tho
mother of many." Atrainst Thee, Thee
only." All sin, even tfiat by which man
may be most grievously injured, is sin
against God. God alone was greater than
the king, and to God alone David, as king,
was responsible. "Mightcst be justified,"
etc. From the relation of all souls to God
every sin against man lies primarily against
God, so that God, who is the supreme
judge of nil human conduct, will bc justi?
fied in His sentence upon the wicked.
David thus recognizes God's justice, how?
ever severe the sentence may bc.
II. David's confidence in God (vs. 5-8).
5, 6. "Was shapen." David means Here
that he was born with a sinful nature. Se3
Kph. 2:3. This confession is not made ns
an excuse for his sins, but in utter self
abasement. David bewails the depravity
within, ard thus abandons all hope of re?
storing himself. "Thou desirest truth."
David admits that he is the very opposite
of what he should be. God desires truth
in the most secret springs of thought and
will. Truth here takes thc sense of integ?
rity nnd uprightness: and wisdom that of
the knowledge of God.
7. 8. "With Hyssop." The figure here
is borrowed from the ceremonial of the
law. llvssop was a common herb which
frequently grew on walls. This was used
ns a sprinkler, especially in the rites for
cleansing the leper and purifying thc un?
clean. Dr. Clark calls attention to the
fact that in thc case of the leper the cere?
mony of sprinkling was not performed un?
til the leper had been healed, and the
ceremony declared to ihe people that such
was the case. "This." says Clarke, "David
seems to have in full view, hence he re?
quests the Lord to show to the people
that he was accepted and cleansed."
"Whiter than snow." The Lord :s able
to take every clement foreign to holiness
out of our nature. See Isa. 1:18. "Bones
. . . broken." A strong figure showing how
a sense of God's displeasure lind, ns it
were, crushed his bones and shattered his
whole frame. He had repented deeply.
III. David's praver for a clean heart
(vs. 9-12). 9.10. "Hide thy face." Do not
longer gaze upon my sins, cast them behind
Thee. "Create." "Mending will not avail;
my heart is altogether corrupted; it must
be made new." "The word create is the
strongest known in the Hebrew for bring?
ing into being that which did not before
exist, as Gen. 1:1. Compare Lpn. 2:10;
4:24; and 'new creation,' 2 Cor. 5:17; Ga).
G:15." "Clean heart." A sanctified heart
?one cleansed from all sin and made per?
fect in Ihe love of God. "A right spirit."
A steadfast, established spirit, fixed in its
allegiance to God. that could stand firm
and resist temptation.
ll. 12. "Cast me not away," etc. God
p.dmits the upright to His presence, and
they behold His face (Psa. 11:7; 2:12).
David knew that God would be justified
in removing His Spirit from him, but he
prays for mercy and asks that the divine
rejection might not follow in his case as it
did with Saul. "Uphold mc." The idea of
uphold here is to confirm, render perma?
nent. David desires that the restored
?tate bc sustained and abiding. This is the
point of the petition. But he has not in
himself the elements of this stability.
God only can "restore thc joys of salva?
tion," and lie alone can cause him to stand
firm in this restored life. "Free spirit."
Set- R. V. He desires perfect freedom of
spirit so he will easily and naturally do
such thing.--, aa are right.
IV. David's resolve to emplov his life
in God's service (vs. 13-17). 13, 14. "Will
T teach." Thus David would show forth
his gratitude for that renewal and estab?
lishment in righteousness for which he
agonizes. How he fulfilled his promise is
shown in some of his subsemicnt psalms.
See Psa. 32; 40; 103, which should be read
in this connection. "From bloodguiltiness."
From the punishment of my sin. Hero
David no doubt had in view the death of
Uriah. His blood was crying for ven?
geance against him and only God could
deliver him. "Thy righteousness." God's
righteousness is seen in His pardon to the
penitent as well as His punishment to
the impenitent.
15-17. "Open thou." His lips had been
clor.ed. for a guilty foul cannot speak the
praises of God; but God could open them,
for the power to praise aright is the gift
of God. "Desirest not sacrifice." See R.
V. The law of Moses made no provision
for the forgiveness or expiation of such
sins as David had committed. See Num.
15:30, 31. Forms and types would now
avail nothing. "Sacrifices of God." Tho/o
which God desires and approves are a
broken spirit and a contrite heart; that
is, a heart truly penitent nnd humble.
Such a heart will never be cast out. Mercy
will always be shown the humble, penitent
MAYOR SCHMITZ'S APT REPLY
How City's Chief Executive Got Rio*
of a Bore.
Mayor Schmitz of San Francisco
tells of an untiring politician who do
mantled a position. To escape him
and kindred men the mayor hied him'
self to the suburbs. And in the sub?
urbs the applicant halted the mayor.
The politician placed his cane behind
him and rested on it as a seat. Better
opportunity had never been presented
for arguing his just claim. His fidget?
ing caused the cano to move slightly.
"Yes, slr," said the office seeker. "1
am entitled to a position in the city's
sendee and ara looking fer an open
ing."
"Is there any kind of work to which
you are adapted?" asked tho mayor.
The man took courage from the
question and said that any kind of aD
opening would snit.
By this time the man's unsteadiness
had brought the cano, which was bear?
ing his weight, precariously near a
kuo't hole. The mayor thought. In
expectancy tho applicant shifted his
position. The next instant ho was
endeavoring to follow his cane through
a hole in tho board walk.
"There," said the mayor, "very
much relieved, "is an opening for you,

COMMERMAL REVIEW.
Gcnrrn! Trade Conditions.
Bradstreet's "Weekly Review 01
Trade" says: Mixed trade and crop
conditions still present themselves,
though some improvement in tone is
noted where crop estimates as in the
case of corn, show expansion. Lowci
prices for cereals point the way to fu?
ture large business and induce a larger
foreign interest in our farm products,
Trade reports vary with sections con
Bidered, the best reports coming from
thc Southwest, thc Northwest and the
Pacific Coast. Spotted trade reports
rome from sections of thc Middle West.
From the South the reports arc in the
main favorable as to trade and collec?
tions, but crop deterioration is wide?
spread, except from thc lower Missis?

Pp-m-na Drug Co., Columbus, Ohia: ___ m . . _
CentlemSn:-"! can cheerfully say that Mrs. Schley has taken Pe
ru-na and I believe with good effect."?W. S. SCHLEY?washington, d. c.
fU "aCi ? Thc fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and has won its way to tho
hearts of the people. The natural timidity which so many people have felt about
giving -endorsements to any remedy is giving way. Gratitude and a desire to
help others has inspired thousands of people to give public testimonials for Pe
ADMIRAL SC4ILEY, one of the foremost, notable heroes of the nineteenth
century. A name that starts terror in the heart of every Spaniard. A man
of steady nerve, clear head, undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached hy a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to the efficacy of
Peruna, the national catarrh remedy. Without the slightest hesitation he gave
tills remedy his endorsement. It appeared on later conversation that Peruna
has been used In his family, where it is a favorite remedy.
Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that Peruna has
upon the minds of the American people. It is out of the question that so great
nnd famous a man as Admiral Schley could have any other reason for giving
his endorsement to Penina than his positive conviction that the remedy is all
that ho sn vs it is.
nina who heretofore would not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has it happened that so many men
of national and international reputation have been willing to give unqualified
and public endorsements to a proprietary remedy. No amount of advertising
could have accomplished such a result. Peruna has won on its own merits.
Peruna cures catarrh of whatever phase or location in the human body. This
L< why it receives so many notable and unique endorsements.

Lost In t'le Grass.
There is surely no country half a
world away in which the Occidental
traveller expects so much delight and
so little danger as in Japan. Yet Mr.
Ernest Foxwcll has recently related a
tale of terrible adventure experienced
in Japan by an Englishwoman but a
few days after her arrival. She was
staying at a little country village among
thc hills and had gone out in thc morn?
ing to gather flowers. The path ran
across thc uplands, where there is a
wild and lonely stretch of country ex?
tending for several miles, and the
beauty of some wild flowers growing
in thc tall grass led her to leave thc
trail unthinkingly and press farther and
farther into the waving tangle. She
was a short woman, and it reached
above her head.
"If I had been a foot taller," she
said, in telling her story, "I should have
laughed and been out in a minute or
two; but those few inches buried me
alive. Almost instantly I felt sick, as
you do at thc beginning of an eartn
quake, for, although I must have been
quite near the path, yet with thc grass
all round above my head, there was
no knowing what would happen. I
might bc going right away at that very
moment, and thc possibilities came like
a shock. I believe I lost my head at
once. I could not think, so I kept
moving first one way, then another.
But pushing through this tall, tough
grass is very tiring work, even if you
arc on sloping ground, and can judge
where von will come out; and when it
is level all round thc heart is taken out
of you from thc feeling that every step
is probably burying you deeper. It was
like being drowned." It was not until
sunset, after a whole day in thc blaz?
ing sun, without food or water, con?
stantly wandering, constantly pushing
and tearing at stems so stiff and ser?
rated that they quickly make thc hands
bleed, that she walked suddenly out
on to open ground and fell fainting in
a heap. When she recovered thc stars
were shining and she was alone on an
unknown mountain side. She slept
from exhaustion and the next day fol
lowed a winding mountain torrent over
rocky land, her shoes and her stock?
ings worn from her feet, only to find at
sundown that it had lcd her to a nar?
row gorge without one inch of foot?
hold or shore. The stream dashed
through in a torrent that hopelessly
barred the way. Light-headed with ter-,
ror, hunger and weariness, she crouch?
ed for a time in despair. Then, actuat?
ed by a sudden whim or instinct, she
waded into the stream and stood until
after dawn waist-deep in water, while a
rain storm pelted upon her from above.
She believed that by thc rush and stine
of the water her reason and strength
were preserved. Thc next day she re?
traced her weary way along thc water?
course back to thc heights; thence, fix?
ing anew the point to which she must
direct her steps, she made her way back
to civilization.
He Went Away Satisfied.
An old-woolly-headcd darkey appear?
ed at thc dispensary of one of the hos?
pitals the other morning.
'"Well, uncle, what is it?" inquired
the young medico in charge of the dis?
pensary.
"Ah'vc got de mishuy pow"ful bad,
boss," said thc aged darkey.
"Where have you got thc misery?"
inquired the young doctor.
"Ah dun got it evuhywheah," replied
the ancient colored man.
"Well," inquired thc doctor, "what do
you think ails you?"
"Ah think," solemnly answered thc
old black, "dat Ah've dun got some
thin' de mattuh wif mah vermifuge dc
pendix."
"What makes you think that that's
your trouble?" inquired thc doctor,
smothering the chuckle^hat rose up in
his throat.
"Well, sub, Ah had de nose bleed
pow'ful bad las' night an' Ah hain't no
ap'tite 'tall fo' watuhmillyons dis yeah."
"Well, it's your vermifuge dependix
that's bothering you all right, uncle,"
said the young doctor, "but I'll fix you
out quick enough.' Take one of these
before each meal."
He handed thc old darky a little box
of bread pills, and thc old woolly-head
departed with a broad grin of happi?
ness, no less because he had got free
medicine than because his own diag?
nosis of his case had been so promptly
accepted.

In His Element.
A clergyman who was traveling stop?
ped at a hotel much frequented by
wags and jokers.
Thc host, not being used to having a
clergyman at his table, looked at him
with surprise; the guests used all their
raillery of wit upon him without elicit?
ing a remark.
Thc clergyman ate his dinner quietly,
apparently without observing the gibes
and sneers of his neighbors.
One of them at last, iu despair of his
forbearance, said to him: "Well. I won?
der at your patience. Have you not
heard all that has been said to you?"
"Oh, yes, but I am used to it. Do
you know who I am?"
"No, sir."
"Well, I will inform you. I am chap?
lain of a lunatic asylum*, such remarks
have no effect upon mc."
The Nearest Pattern.
An elderly lady entered a draper's
shop and asked to bc shown some table?
cloths. Thc assistant brought a pile
and showed them to her, but she said
she had seen those elsewhere.
"Haven't you something new?" she
asked.
The assistant then brought another
pile and showed them to her.
"These are thc newest pattern," he
said. "You will notice the edge runs
right round the border and thc cen?
tre is in thc middle."
"Then I will take half-a-dozen," said
thc lady.?Tit-Bits.
He Was Dull-Minded.
"You must no't imagine," she said,
"that I would be willing to sit out herc
alone with you if you were not so big
and strong, and able to pick me up in
your arms as if I were a mere child?
in case anythiucr happened.
Then because nothing happened she
told her friends that he was dull-wilted
and probably had a soul like a with?
ered lemon.

American History.
Washington had just issued orders
for thc army to winter at Valley Forge.
"But," insisted thc soldiers, "thc ad?
vertisements say wc should go to thc
Bermudas or California."
Confronted by a new perplexity, it
look all of thc great general's diplo?
macy to appease the rebellious troops.
Jefferson was expounding thc doc?
trine of simplicity.
"But," he was asked, "why did you
ride a horse at all? Why didn't you
walk?"
"That," replied thc Father of Dem?
ocracy, "would have created the impres?
sion that I owned an automobile."
Realizing thc man's great wisdom,
they decided he should have a second
term.
Chicago's Grit.
"You can't get around the fact," said
Mr. Packcnham. as he proudly moist?
ened his handkerchief upon" his tongue
for thc purpose of removing a streak of
soot from his nose, "that Chicago is full
of grit."
"I admit that," replied thc visitor.
"I feel it in my very teeth the minute
f vt cn into one of vour streets."
Decidedly Otherwise.
Thc two young persons had consent?
ed for a consideration to stand on an
elevated platform in thc open air and
bc married in thc presence of thc im?
mense crowd at a street fair.
After the ceremony was over their
friends surrounded them.
"Wasn't it dreadfully embarrassing?"
they were asked.
"Embarrassing?" echoed thc bride?
groom, with a broad grin. "I should
say not. It relieved thc embarrassment.
We'd have been married a month ago
if I'd had money enough to pay a
preacher."_
Call Dick Orum!
At a certain petty sessions the other
day a great amount of laughter was
created during thc hearing of one of
thc cases. One of thc justices of the
peace rather pompously exclaimed:
"Let us have decorum in thc court,
please."
An official rushed at once to the door,
calling out, "Richard Orum! Richard
Orum!"
Needless to say "decorum" was still
wanting for a brief period in that
court.?Tit-Bits.
