Lesson for August 27 L«s»on «üb;»ct« snd Seripturo <««<• —■ lscte-1 and ropvrighted by International Council of Religious Education; uMd by parmliaion ISRAEL'S FIRST KINO LESSON TEXT-I Sarnual *:IS-21; »«: 25 27 11 12 15 GOLDEN TEXT—Honor aU men Lws th« brotherhood. Fear God. Honor tM hint -I Frier 2 It •'Wei! begun is half done." says the old proverb, reminding us of the importance of a good beginning. While it does not guarantee success (see next week's lesson), it Is eminently desirable, and truly helpful. Israel had foolishly tired of being a God-ruled nation and had begun to demand a king. Samuel was directed of God to the map of His ehoice. Saul, in a very remarkable way. He entered upon his service as king as an obedient and earnest ruler. (Would God that he had continued in that way!) We note a number ot favorable elements which indicated the possibility of a successful reign. He was— I. Wanted by the People (9:13, 19>. A ruler forced upon a nation is sure ot opposition, but here the people were clamoring for a king to rule over them. The way was wide open to the interest and the affection of their hearts. Saul was just the type to please them Physically he was head and shoulders above the people —a desired thing in a ruler <see 10.231. He was mentally fitted (10: 25>— humble (9:21), spiritually right (10:6-9), tolerant and kindly (11:13), ard a good military leader (ch. 11). IL Chaaea by Ged (9:17). All these qualities commended Saul to God as well as to the people. I.i fact, he was God's choice. A man could not enter upon high office with any more auspicious token for good. Observe that what looked like a purely chance visit to Samuel, when Saul was on business for his father, was the occasion for the making known ot God’s choice. Out of a simple experience in dally life came an event which changed hie entire destiny. 111. Anointed by the Prophet (I: 18-20). The man of God's choice had met God's man. Samuel, who proceeded to instruct him, and to privately anoint him as king, It was a tender scene The aged prophet, rejected by the people as God’s ruler over . them, quietly and sweetly obeyed God's command to anoint the young man to be king Public recognition, which came later, was important, but. with Saul as with every servant of the Lord, the personal anointing of God, in the 1 hidden place of communion with Him, was the matter of highest importance. IV. Humble in Attitude (9:21). That pride, which was ultimately to be Saul's downfall, was beautifully absent at the beginning of his reign. Although of good family, and i well-equipped, he saw himself as poor and insignificant, not ready for such an honor. That is the right attitude for one who is to serve God Pride and selfassurance do not befit the man who stands in the presence of the Almighty. V. Guided by Principle <lO 23) Saul did not enter upon his office. ■ new as it was to both him and to Israel without a Constitution, that is. without principles of action. Samuel, the Lord's prophet, wrote ' down "the manner of the kingdom" in a book. How interesting, and how important.

Ruler* who imagine themselves so ■ wise that they need no controlling II law*, and to powerful that the law I may not question their decision*, are eertainiy not ruler* after God * plan Knowing the heart of man. hi* weakness and pride, God has provided true principle* by which the ruler is to be guided, yes and controlled. V!. Forgiving In flpirit (10 M 27; 11:12. 13). Some "worthless fellow*" despised Saul and would not recognize him as king. The urge of the flesh was to destroy them, and especially did that seem proper because of their worthless nature. But Saul, in true kingly spirit, said that there was to be no revenge, just rejoicing | To be of the right spirit toward I one's enemies is the hall mark of Christian character. Vtl. Established to Office (11: 14. IS). While there Is the secret whisper of God in the heart, and the personal anointing by the Lord's servant, there should be the public recognition which establishes the Lord's servant in the eyes of all people. Saul had this at GilgaL it placed him among the tings of the earth, and prepared the *v for hM dealing with other nations as weU as with his own people. Applying that truth to those who serve Christ, we *ay that there is upon the church the obligation to recognize God's call and anointing by giving that official recognition wfcjch sets the testimony tO 4 Hrv . ice of the Uta to w else itself aasocg men ip gegargl * ' * — | W

Smith said lhe new legislation should specifically prohibit any "Implied power*" by government agencies In lhe absence of congressional provisions of powers to any agency, he said, their "asaumption" Is "a usurpation of leglsla five authority and an infringement upon constitutional government." In previous reports, the < ommittee singled out lhe OPA lor special criticism for "usurping" authority. In particular. It denounced what it called the agency's kangaroo courts where It acts as "investigator, prosecutor and judge" lu complaint cases. To correct this situation, the committee today outlined legislation under which the president would name hearing officers to settle disputes between Individuals and tederal agencies, with provisions for ultimate court review These officers, it said, “would he independent of the agencies in volved iu the litigation. Instead ot being subservient to the agency heads." One section, apparently an outgrowth of the government's seilure of Moutgomery-Ward A Co., would require any government agency to notify in writing under what legal authority and jurisdictio nit is proceeding before acting In any case involving the rights or other legal relations of auy person.
