THE TRIUMPH OF TRUTH By GEORGE G. DOWEY "David and Goliath" is one of the beat-knoicn hero stories of the Bible. It details are fascinating; how David, the strlpplina. una sent to the camp to fnqulro about his big soldier-brothers; how he found the two opposing . I, ..,.! ....1. i.nllfnn n tilt, ft tt unmvs on opposite inns, tutn imnwa !" .... -strike; how the conflict then centred upon two chosen combatants; the daily challenge of Oollath; the fear pos sessing Israel; the courage of David in accepting the giant's challenge, and his brother's rebuke; his appear ance before King Saul and rejecting Saul's armor. Then the selecting of flee stones for the sling and David meet ing the giant jingle-handed. The combat was short; one stone from the shepherd's sling felled the Philistine champion and his army was routed. iP m The central truth has special typical significance Am&rfr, JM today. Head the last clause of verse 43, "The Philistine Ptffiiis $Bt cursed David by Ms gods"; then the words of David in S . fl ver3 -5 "l como t0 thee '" the name 0 the Lord f B ' I MM hosts, the Ood of Vie armies of Israel, whom thou has B JH defied"; and in verse 7, "Th battle is the Lord's." In IS-sB! all this wo find more than a yaffle of human armies; it Uo. G DOWEY teas a conflict of principles, of riant ana of wrunu, u, trvth and of falsehood. The armies representing these principles had met ond clashed often, but the issue was finally decided by the two individual cAomploiu. Goliath represented the gods of evil and falsehood; David came the name of the God of Truth, and Truth was triumphant. The conflict of these same principles is waging today. The Divine Principle of right and truth against the world principle of evil and error, WW church and the world have been in constant clash; first one, then ' other, seems to triumph. If the Bible be true, all these battles will head "P in a combat between two individual champions, Christ and Satan, and ' great issue of the universe will ultimately be decided when the two cAfe meet Christ is Truth, of whom. David was a type, and Truth will ( taith and u-Uiotn are arrayed on the s0e of Truth NEW PASTOll TO ASSUME CHAllflE HERE ON MAY 23 Tho Hev. Gcorfto E. Whitchouao Com ing to Eleventh Bnpttst. The Rev.
