BRIEF SUMMARY.
GOD’S COVENANT WITH DAVID.
Text of tho Lesson, II Sam. Tii:lß~29.
Golden Text -“Of this man’s sood hath God,
according to His promise, raised unto Israel a
Saviour, Jesus.”—Acts xiii:23.
Time and Occasion. —The time of
this lesson is considered to be abont
1042 B. C. Having brought the ark up
to Jerusalem successfully, and installed
it in the new Tabernacle, prepared for it,
and having built a cedar palace for
himself, David proposes to build an
appropriate templo for God, and con
suiting the prophet, Nathan, is told to
proceed. But that very night, God re
veals to Nathan, in a dream, that
David is not to build the temple, but
tliat bis son and successor is to have
that honor. Nathan is sent to an
nounce this fact to David, not that
God disapproved of David’s proposal,
for we learn from I Kings, viii.lß, that
God commended him for it, (“thou
didst well, that it was in thine heart,)
but that it was better, or more fitting,
that the temple’s erection should be
the achievement of a more peaceful
reign. David tells, himself, (I Chron.
xxii:B; xxviii:3) that hie being“a man of
war, and had shed blood,” wns the rea
son God would not let him build the
temple. Indeed, all his reign was al
most a series of wars to establish the
permanency of his kingdom, and it
was only when the kingdom was per
manently established, as in Solomon’s
reign, that it was fitting that a dwell
ing place for the Almighty should be
built.
So David was to do no more than
collect the material, which he did
abundantly. But while God prohibits
David from building Him a house, He
say s,“I will m ake thee a house,” (versell)
and he goes on to speak of the perma
nent establishment upon the throne of
David’sdynasty, and three times asserts
that He will establish his kingdom for
ever. Thus is intimated that the promise
of an earthly kingdom merges into the
promise of a heavenly kingdom, which
will belong to one of David’s de
scendants —in other words, that the
Messiah should spring from the family
of David. Thus “ God’s covenant with
David” amounts to a promise, or rather
a renewal of his ancient promise, that
a Messiah should come, and Ho asserts
that this Messiah was to be of the lin
eage of David. Hence the propriety
of our golden text. Overwhelmed by
the magnitude of graciousness of this
promise, David proceeds to the taber
nacle and prostrates himself before the
Ark in adoring joy and gratitude. His
feelings find vent in the most humble
and grateful expressions, concluding
with a prayer founded on the pj omise.
The promise as we gather it from verses
12-16, is “ I will set up thy seed after
thee ; I will establish the throne of his
kingdom forever ; thino house and thv
kingdom shall be established forever;
thy throne shall be established for
ever.”
The primary reference was to the
earthly throne and kingdom; and
so David understood it. A part
of what was said could only thus apply,
while another part points to the spir
itual kingdom, of which the earthly
was a type, and to Jesus, David’s son,
who now sits upon its throne. Thence
forth in the Psalms and Prophec’es, the
son of David rises into prominence, and
the kingdom is expected to find its
permanence, and glory in him as the
Messiah. When he came he was the
true and legal heir to the throne of
Israel, and in him as the exalted king,
the promise has its proper fulfillment.
See Psa. 89: 3, 4,20, 2g, 36, 37 ; 132:
11 ; Isa. 9: 6, 7 ; Jer. 23: 5,6; 33: 21;
Luke 1: 32, 33 ; John 12: 34; Acts 13.
23 ; Heb. 1: 8. Keil well says, “The
■posterity of David could only last for
iver by running out in a person who
fives forever, that is, by culminating in
the Messiah, who lives forever, and of
whose kindgdom there is no end.” How
much of all this David perceived we
cannot tell; but we well know that it
is fully realized in Christ.

A meeting of the Board of Trustees
of Mercer University is hereby called
in Thomaaville, Ga., at the next session

Board are earnestly requested to note
this call and be present; we have busi
ness of some moment which claims at
tention, for all of us are interested in
the prosperity of our cherished Uni
versity. The Institution is now doing
well, in numbers, order and health.
The young men are in perfect health,
and the President gave a very satisfac.

and attainments of the students in
their studies.
Hon. C. B. Cole, Chairman of the
Law School and Professor of Equity,

MINUTES OF BAPTIST ASSOCIATION'S.
Bro. Jiiß. P. Harrison, the business manager
of the Franklin Printing House, Atlanta, pre
sented us, last week, with a copy of the min
utes of all the Baptist Associations of Georgia
for 1876, bound in one volume. The work is
valuable to Georgia Baptists, and displays the
enterprise of The Index company. This
house is perhaps unsurpassed in the State for
enterprise and dispatch in their line of busi
ness. If all the Associations in East Tennes
see and Southwestern Virginia will send us
their minutes to print next fall, we will get the
Franklin to bind, at our expense, a number of
copies sufficient to present the clerk of each
Association with a copy of all the minutes
bound together.— Boptiul Reflector.

Popularity.
It is a self-evident fact that unless a person
possesses sterling worth, lie will not have the
esteem of his fellow-men. It is true, that for a
time lie may deceive, but eventually hiß faults
will be exposed.
Tliis is applicable also to articles recommen
ded to 1 lie confidence of purchasers. For a brief
period, by false commendations and glittering
exterior, they impose on tlio people, but as soon
as tested they are cast aside. The test of teu
years has proven tho intrinsic worth of Dr.
Tim’s Hair Dye, and to-day no preparation en
joys greater popularity. From year to year the
demand for it lias increased, and now it is in gen
eral use both in this and foreign countries. No
stronger proof of its value could be given.
The Early Stages of Disease.
Those conditions of the body in which its func
tions are not performed witli healthful activity,
hut sluggishly and irregularly, are in fact the
early disease. They are, moreover, almost in
variably the result of local or general weakness,
which can only he overcome by an efficient ton
ic. There is no medical fact more clearly estab
lished than that Hostctter’s Stomach Bitters are
admirably adaptod to infuse vigor into the de
bilitated system, and to restore regularity to its
interrupted functiouß. As weakness and irregu
larity are sure to develop into disease, the Bit
ters," by overcoming them, are tho means of ad
verting far more serious evils. Debility most
frequently manifests itself in the organß of di
gestion and evacuation, two important offices,
whose vigorous performance is insured by the
Bitters, which also rectify weaknoss or irregu
larity of the bladder or kidneyß, and fortify the
system against malaria.

About Two Years ago my wife had a very
troublesome Cough, of so serious a character
that we all became very anxious; indeed, it
seemed that we had but little to hope for, as the
lungs were affected. We tried various medi
cines, bnt very little if any benefit seemed to be
derived from any of them ; so that it appeared
the disease had complete mastery, and nothing
but death would bring relief. Y was then ad
vised to give Dr. D. Jayne’s Expectorant a trial,
and doing so, to our surprise found great bene
fit from its use. Persisting with it, she gradu
ally commenced improving, until the principal
symptoms disappeared entirely, and she has en
joyed reasonably good health ever since John
Musgrave, Hublxtrdsville, Kentucky.
Throat Affections and Hoarsf.nkss.— All
suffering from Irritation of the Throat and
Hoarseness will be agreeably surprised at the
almost immediate relief afforded by the use of
“ Brown's Bronchial Troches.”
If you have a discharge from the nose, offen
sive or otherwise, partial loss of the sense of
smell, taste, or hearing, eyes watery or weak,
feel dull and stupid or debilitated, pain or press
ure in the head, take cold easily, you may rest
assured that you have the Catarrh. Thousands
annually, without manifesting half of tho above
symptoms, terminate in consumption, and end
in the grave. No disease is so common, more
deceptive, or leas understood by physicians. R.
V Pierce, M. D., of Buffalo, N. Y..’ is the pro
prietor of Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy—a per

Can’t do without it. —No well regulated
household is complete without a copy of Web

We would as soon think of getting along without
a cook-stove. One young man in this vicinity,
bought two copies of Webster at the bookstore,
within a few weeks. When he purchased the
second one, the proprietor asked him what he
was going to do with two. “Why," said he,"
“ I have just got married, and my folks won’t
let mo take away from the house the dictionary
I first bought, so I am obliged to get another,
as I cannot get along without it;” and the young
man was right.

EPILEPSY OR FITS
Successfully treated by the use of
DR. ROSS* EPILEPTIC REMEDIES
READ THE FOLLOWING:
Dr. J. L. Pratt, of Quincy, 111., in writing to us May
5, 1874, says: The wonderful succets that has attend
ed the use of your remedies in the case of a friend of
mine, prompts me to write to you in behalf of others
suffering with this terrible disease. . . . lam not
now engaged in the practice of my profession; if I
were, I should not hesitate to recommend your treat
ment for Epilepsy, inste and of my own or any other
persons that I am awaie of.
A case of sixteen years standing cured in one month:
Mr. B. F. Craig, formerly of Miami county, Ind.,
now at Montkello, Piatt county, 111., was attacked
with Epilepsy, in 1852, the spasms occurring at first
about once each month, becoming more frequent and
severe, that as he expresses himself,“ after takingeve
rything I could hear 01, Iconsidexed my case as hope
less.” In February, 1868, he commenced taking our
Rimcdies, and after continuing their use for one
month, he considered himself cured, and to this day,
he has never felt the least symptom of the disease.
Mr. W. I*. Maxwell writeßto us as follows :
Bay Si’BINGS, Tishomingo co., Miss., \
January 14,1875. f
Some four years ago, I wrote to you in regard to my

to write to you before, hut you h ve my grateful
thanks, and as long as I live, I shall continue to rec
ommend you and your mode of treatment May God
bless you io your efforts to relieve the unfortunate.

The Best English Dictionary.
"WEBSTER’S UNABRIDGED!"
“The Best Practical English Dictionary Ex
tant.”—London Quarterly Review, October, 1873.
From Bev. W. H. H. Murray. Boston, Jan. 12,
1876: “The sermons which I have preached to
my people, during the last three months, have
been the outgrow th of Bible meditation alone.
I have not made a library reference in construct
ing one of them. The two volumes which I
have by my side or on my knees when dictating
them, "are the New Testament and Webster’s
Dictionary. The former I find to bo worth more
to me, as a preacher of the gospel to the people
than all the books of theology in the world. And
the latter contains not only the germs, but the
expressed wealth, of all English literature.
From the one I get my facts ana my inspiration;
from the other, I am "taught exactness in defini
tion and precision of statement. Never until I
shut myself off from all other books and confined
myself exclusively to these two, did I know how
perfectly equipped for flight the mind is that has
on either side of it these wings of power.”

OPM AFFLICTED!
YOUR attention is called to the following ex
tract of letter from Dr. K. P. McNorrill, a
physician and planter of high respectability, in
telligence and veracity, who took morphine,
more or lees, for five years, and the last year of
the five took fifty to sixty grams of morphine
per day and whiskey in abundance.
Alsoj read the following certificate from Major
J. A. Treadwell, a gentlemen well known and
easily located:
Waynesboro, Ga, December 25, 1875.
Dr. W. T. Park, Atlanta, Ga.:
Dear Sir—Language is inadequate to express
the virtues of your Preparation, for it immedi
ately took the’place of both morphine and Whis
ky, rendering me perfectly comfortable from the
very first dose, and what is more remarkable, has
killed off the appetite for both completely. I do
not want them—feel better without them. I
have not had the slightest headache ; my bowels
have been neither too loose nor constipated ; ap
petite has become good, digestion good, and my
general health, both mentally and physically, is
improving. Sir, I can assure you, from the
depths of an honest and grateful heart, that
your Antidote is all, and more, than you claim
for it, so far as my experience goes. My wife
is perfectly delighted, and says she wants to see
you, talk to you, express her gratitude to you
personally : "that you have done that which she
thought no human on earth conld do. She speaks
of it a great deal. Very respectfully,
K. P. McNorrill.

This is to certify that I was addicted to the
Opium Habit eleven years, contracted under the
administration of "opiates for chronic camp
diarrhoea and dysentery, became a perfect wreck,
and very neav being driven to desperation July
Ist, 1875. About eight months ago I applied to
Dr. W. T. Park for his Opium and Morphine An
tidote ; took five months’ supply ; improved
from the first day, and I am now entirely cured,
having quit the Antidote, aud do not want it or
Opium in any shape.
