DAVID ESTABLISHED KlNG—Lesson for Feb. 20
Scripture Lesson, II Sam. v : 17-25.
Golden Text Relieve in the Lord your God,
o shall ye establish d— II Cbrou. ix : 20.
Time and Occasion.— Saul’s defeat
and death look place 1065 B. C., and
the same year David was anointed
king of the tribe of Judah at Hebron,
and so continued seven and a half years.
All the country north of Jerusalem was
in possession of the Philistines, who
dwelt in the deserted cities. The only
remaining son of Saul fled to Maba
naiin, beyond Jordan 51 miles, N. E.
of Jerusalem, where, supported by
Abner, the general, he assumed royalty;
but five and a half years were con
sumed in expelling the Philistines from
Israel, aud then Isliboshetli became
king de facto, and reigned two years
in Mahanaim. War is waged be
tween the two rival factions; and Joab,
David’s general, defeats Abner, Ish
boshetk’s general. A quarrel then oc
curs between Isbbosbetb and Abner,
and the general determines to desert to
David’s standard, but is privately and
v .ngefully slain by Joab. Then Ish
boshelk deprived of Abner’s powerful
support is soon assassinated, which
completely ends the dynasty of Saul.
All the tribes now rally to David, and
assemble in one mighty concourse at
Hebron, and anoint him king of the
whole country. He resolves to remove
his capital to a more central position
and captures Jebus or Zion, (the pres
ent Jerusalem,) which had remained in
possession of the Jebusites owing to
its hitherto impregnable position.
David then, with the help of Hiram,
king of Tyre, on the Northern coast,
sets about building a palace, and estab
lishing his capital firmly. By this
time, howovor, the fears of the Philis
tines, (those fierce invaders who had
been expelled from Egypt, after a rule
of three hundred or more years,) were
aroused, and they determined to attack
and overwhelm David beforo his power
■should become sufficiently strong and
concentrated to be dangerous to them.
So they marched up in great force and
encamped on the plains of Ropliaim,
south and southwest of Jerusalem.
David, on this sudden irruption, had
concentrated his forces in a stronghold
among the mountains west of the Dead
Sea, and then inquires of the Lord if
he shall attack. He is instructed to
do so, and falls with his trained war
riors upon the Philistine host like a
moutain torrent, and disperses them
aud burns their captured idols. They,
however, soon recover, and return in
great force, aud encamp again in the
same plain. Again David, instructed
by the Lord, circumvents them and at
tacks in the rear, at a signal given by
the Almighty. The signal is as the
sound of a mighty host marching into
battle. The Philistines are signally
defeated and pursued aud slain all the
way to their own country. Thus David’s
kingdom beoomes established. He is
seated on his throne, king of the en
tire country, in a strong capital, where
his palace is built, a neighboring king
has acknowledged his sovereignty and
his invading enemies are subdued.
TEACHINGS.
1. David’s faith in God is finally re
warded—so will ours be. He will take
care of ns in this life, and bring us to
the house of safety,|if we trust in Him.
2. God’s decrees fail not; His prom
ises are sure. Let us believe and trust
Him.

SrNDiY-SCnoOL WORK.
The Institute at Madison,* Florida,
was in every respect a success. There
was an earnest enthusiasm from the
beginning, and it seemed to increase at
every meeting. The Sunday-school is
small, and consists almost entirely of
girls and boys, the young ladies and
young gentlemen as well as the adult
part of the church, from some cause,
have not as yet identified themselvos
with the school. This, however, may
be truly said, that more faithful offi
cers and teachers will rarely be found.
The superintendent is growing old, but
his heart is in his school, and he dearly
loves his scholars. He is aided by a
noble band of women.
After leaving Madison, pleasant meet
ings were held at Redland church, Al
bany, Smithville, and Americus. At
the last named place, the house was
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST.
crowded to overflowing—was glad to
find that brethren Mallory, Cawood,
and Campbell were doing well and
winning the confidence and affection of
their people.
At Macon we began an Institute ac
cording to appointment, on Friday
evening, and which continued till Sun
day night. We have rarely held an
Institute which was more pleasant to
us and which seemed more satisfactory
to the people. The audiences were
large and the interest highly gratify
ing. The Sunday-school under the
wise and energetic management of its
pastor, brother Skinner, and its super
intendent, brother Zettler, is rapidly
increasing in interest and in numbers.
Brother Zettler is superintendent of
the public schools of the city, and
seems to he not only well qualified for
the Sunday-school work, hut has his
heart in it. He has gatheied around
him a splendid corps of teachers, and
if he can induce them all to attend his
teachers’ meetings regularly, I predict
that in a few months, the Macon school
will he one of the best in the State.
Its several departments, including the
missionary, are already well organized.
If it were proper to say so, I would
add that the secretary and his assist
ants contribute no little to the pros
perity of the school. The pastor is,
deservedly, very popular. T. C. B.

ANNUAL REPORTS
Of tbo Secretaries of Individual Churches to the
Executive Committee of their Association—
(such as may occur before very long.)
Dear Bao. Keepatem, Secretary—
In making the annual report for our
church, to the Executive Committee of
the Association, I will briefly state our
method of raising the benevolent fund
of our church. After trying various
plans we adopted the following, which,
thus far, has succeeded best with us.
We have a church committee called
“The Mission Committee,” composed
of some of our best, most efficient and
most zealous members, male and female,
who hold office permanently with the
single object of collecting Mission
funds, and the duty of that committee
is to see every brother and sister in the
church, and obtain a contribution in
support of Home Missions, Foreign Mis
sions and the Sunday-school work, which
we consider Mission work. This com
mittee reports to the church every
quarter. It is composed of three males
and two females, and has for its sole
object the promotion of the Mission
cause in our church. We feel that the
great duty of a church is to carry out
the commission, “Go into all the world
and preach the Gospel to every crea
ture,” and wo do not feel that our
church is completely organized until it
has in operation some systematic plan
for the collection of Mission funds.
“Go or send,” is our church motto.
And it is the duty of our Missior com
mittee to originate and carry out some
systematic plan for the collection of
Mission funds. Their plan is to see
each member of the church personally,
and obtain from each as liberal a Mis
sion contribution as possible, payable
monthly or quarterly. Each quarter
the committee renders a report at church
conference, giving the amount contrib
uted by each member. In this wav
not only has our church been aroused
to a full sense of its duty in the Mis
sion work, but we have been able to
induce many single members of our
church to aid in supporting Missions.
Our church contains 150 members,
and the sum total contributed for Mis
sions and the Sunday-school work for
the year is S6OO, divided as follows :
Home Missions, $350; Foreign Mis
sions, $100; Sunday-school work, $l5O.
This money was generally sent to the
Treasurer of our Association, by whom
it is forwarded to its proper destination.
Seventy-five dollars of the amount
given for Home Missions was appropri
ated to Associatioual Mission work, and
$75 to State Mission work. One hun
dred and ten dollars of the Sunday
school fund was dedicated to our own
Sunday-school, and S4O were sent up
to the State Mission Board for general
Statel Sunday-school work. Thus, the
average donation of our membership
to the Mission and Sunday-school
cause was $4.00.
The work of this committee is en
tirely separate from that of the Dea
cons and Treasurer of the church,
whose duty it is to collect the pastor’s
salary and the money to defray the
ordinary expenses of the church. We
have, this last year, given our pastor
$1,500, and have paid him promptly.
For church expenses (about $300,)
each member pledges a certain amount
and the Treasurer collects faithfully.
Some of our members know the luxury
of giving at a personal sacrifice, and
they are the very ones who love the
church most and attend to its duties
most promptly. After all, the average
amount contributed by each member
was only sl6, for all purposes.
Our Sunday-school contains 130
scholars and 30 teachers and officers,
and meets every Sabbath. It is in a
flourishing condition, and, itself, has
contributed a considerable amouut to
Missions during the year—say SSO,
out of its own collections.
Our pastor has served us faithfully,
the church being blessed with two re
vivals during the year, and twenty new
members joining by communion and
baptism, of whom twelve came from
our Sunday-school. The accompany
ing tables will give you the full statis
tics of our church and Sunday-school,
together with the amounts contributed
for all purposes. Owing to deaths and
dismissions our church has increased,
as you see, six in number only. Very
fraternally,
James Faithful,
Church Clerk.

THE UNFINISHED PRAYER.
“ Now X lay”—repeat it, darling— .
“ Lay me,” lisped the tiny lips
Of my daughter, kneeling, bending
O'er her folded linger tips.
“ Down to sleep,”—“ To sleep,” she nmrmered.
And the curly head bent low :
“ I pray the Ijord," I gently addod,
“You can say it all, I know.”
“ Pray the Lord"—the sound came faintly,
Fainter still—” “My soul to keep
Then the tired head fairly nodded,
And the child was fast asleep.
lhit the dewy eyes half-opeuod
When I clasped her to my breast,
And the dear voice softly whispered,
“Mamma, Ood knows all the rest.”
“THU'S HOW.”
After a great snow storm, a little
fellow began to shovel a path through
a large snow bank, before his grand
mother’s door. He had nothing but a
small shovel to work with.
“How do you expect to get through
that drift ?” asked a man passing
along.
“By keeping at it,” said the boy
cheerfully ; “that’s how !”
That is the secret of mastering al
most every difficulty under the sun. If
a hard task is before you, stick to it,
and by little it will grow|smaller, until
it is done.
If a hard lesson is to be learned, do
not spend a moment in fretting; do
not lose breath in saying, “I can’t,” or
“I do not see how but go at it and
keep at it—study. Thst is the only
way to conquer it-
If a fault is cured, or a bad habit
broken up, it cannot be done by mere
ly being sorry, or only trying a little.
You must keep fighting until it is got
rid of.
Amelioration and Care-
Amelioration of the symptoms of a disease is,
of course, one desirable object of medication,
and there are, no doubt, pallativos which pos
sess considerable remedial efficacy The tempo
rary disappearance of the ndicia of a disease,
in too many instances, however, delude the Bick
into a belief that they are cured. Many of- those
who have home grateful testimony to the per
manent remedial effects of Hostetlers Stomach
Bitters, in cases of liver dlsord-p', chronic con
stipation. iutormitient and romitt nt fever, uri
nary and rheumatic ailments, have also recorded
tlie'fact that the temporary rehe' occasionally
afforded by tbe medicines whlctf th% tried be
fore using the great restorative insp 1 id hopes
which wore speedily dissipated by & i-etnrn of
the malady. The Bitters not only relieve, but
if persistently and regularly taken, cube the
maladies to which they arc adapted.
Gratuitous Advice-
This species of advice is not always aceepta
table, but, donbtle6s, in many instances mnch
benefit would be derived were it promptly acted
upon. No section of . the country is exempt from
disease, and everv region lias its “ ills that
flesh is heir to.” to know the best means of
combatiDg this common enemy, with the least
injury to our pockets and tastes, is certainly a
great advantage. At this season we must ex
pect Torpid Liver, congested spleen, vitiated
bile and inactive bowels, and all prudent persons
should supply themselves with Terr’s Liver
Tills, which will stimulate the liver, relieve the
engorged spleen, determine a healthy flow of
bile, thus regultaiug the bowels and causing all
unhealthy secretions to pass off in a natural
manner. Remember that “an ounce of preven
tive is worth more than a pound of cure.”
