DAVID: FIVE SERMONS
NOTE:--The first four of these Sermons were preached before the
University of Cambridge.
SERMON I. DAVID'S WEAKNESS
Psalm lxxviii. 71, 72, 73. He chose David his servant, and took him
away from the sheep-folds. As he was following the ewes great with
young ones, he took him; that he might feed Jacob his people, and
Israel his inheritance. So he fed them with a faithful and true
heart, and ruled them prudently with all his power.
I am about to preach to you four sermons on the character of David.
His history, I take for granted, you all know.
I look on David as an all but ideal king, educated for his office by
an all but ideal training. A shepherd first; a life--be it
remembered--full of danger in those times and lands; then captain of
a band of outlaws; and lastly a king, gradually and with difficulty
fighting his way to a secure throne.
