It calls out the best faculties in men, such as gel{-saerifee, gallantry, and idealism. It makes me feel like ccusnders for a better day; all the things that would make for a Kingdom of God on earth. But the result Is that it produces a hell."

'The reason was that David. having been a man of war, ud having been cruel to his fellow: men, could not be a man of worship. 'Also, David felt that, instead of God being behind him in' war, man used the name of God to justly his ova hie ig almost inhuman, only one justieation {orees; he Uelieved in them for defensive purposes, Such an army should be international, and it should not be used to further' national ambitions.
