rCreamedptol I CommentS/MI on s.s.«f«ra| i Lesson “ v ' ...a - v —r— rs — Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson, The Kingdom Established 1 Samuel 1:1.2 11:12, 11, 15 1-35. for Bunday, April 13 Our lesson today resumes the ; story of Israel's history at the point where It wis discontinued at • the end of the .first quarter of last year There were three reasons (that lead Israel to demand a king. : First. Samuel's sons were not qualified to rule. Second. Israel had a growing dewire to be like it rounding nations Third, Israel argued that they needed a stronger leader to fight their enemies VI "Now there was a man of ; Benjamin, whose name was Kish. • the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror. the son of Apiah. a Benjamlte, a : nighty man of power.’* This man •of Benjamin wae well born as to 1 ancestors and as to physical power. V. ‘ And he had a son, whose j name was Saul, a choice young man. and a goodly; and there was i not among tlie children of Israel .» goodlier, pe son than he; from his shoulders and upward he wae 'higher than any of the people" ' Ills noble appearance and gigantic stature were well fitted to impress and over-awe a semi-barbarous people, who were better able to form an estimate of his physical qualities than of the high mental and moral gifts possessed by Sam1 itel V 12. And the people said unto ! Samuel. Who is lie that said. Shall Saul reign ovei u-’’ Bring the men that we may put them to death." The people w.inted to celebrate thei victory under Saul over the Am-1 mobiles by killing the remnant of them V 13. "Ami Saul Said. There I shall not a man lie put to death this day; for today the l-ord hath \ salvation in Israel. Here in the, beginning of Saul's reign are seen . his noble qualities; he would not be revengeful and he would give < redit to God. VI. "Samuel also said unto Saul. The 1,0 d sent me to anoint thee to lie king over his people, over Israel; now therefore hearken thou unto the voice of lhe words of the • Lord." Saul is reminded of his j [ I Wisdom Not for Long A certain rich man. married to a nagging wife, asked that she carve on his tombstone the words: "He rests in peace." This she did upon his passing, but when hie will was read and the widow discovered that someone • else had inherited most of his proI perty, she added these words to the ' inscription on his tombstone: "Until we meet again " 0 — Lesson Prayer ■ Lesson prayer: We are grateful for th*- knowledge of right and I wrong made possible by our Lord. We pray for such strength an not to follow the crowd when the crowd is wrong in what may seem the most inconsequential thing. We pray for such a receptive condition ! of mind and soul that we may hear the Voice at all times. o

having been anointed as King with the strict commandment to destroy utterly the marauding Amelekltes V 22 "And Samuel eald. Hath the laird as great delight in burnt [ otter Ings and sacrifices, as In obey- 1 Ing the voice of the Imrd? Behold ' to olrey is greater than sacrifice., and to hearken than the fat of * lambs Saul disobeyed the command 1 to utterly destroy the Amalekites * and tried to appease God by sac rificing some of the captured an- * Imais as an ottering to God. No * sacrifices, no ceremohies, not 1 worthy habits, such as church at--1 tendance or aime-giving, can take 1 lhe plate of obedience to God and heart religion V. 23. "For rebellion is as the sin ' of witchcraft, and stubltornness is ’ as iniquity and Idolatry. Because 1 thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he has also rejected thee, from being king." Saul is informed that his dieoliedience and rebellion were on a par with sins that were recognised as heinous. Saul was starting ;1 downward course by the common road of disobeying God. 1 V 24 "And Saul said unto Samuel 1 have sinned for I have trans- ' greseed the commandment of the Lord, and thy words; because I feared the people and obeyed their ' voice" Evidently Saul’s confession was not sincere; he was sorry that j he had been c aught in his sin. He showed his weakness in fearing the people more than tearing God. V. 25 * Now therefore, I p:ay the e pardon my sin. and turn again I with me. that I may worship the Lord." He ie anxious tiiat Samuel , should appear to approve of hint that his prestige with the people may not be weakened V. 26. "And Samuel said unto ( Saul. I will not return with thee; for thou hast rejected the word of , the Lord, and the Lord hath re- , I jected th<e from being king of I Israel." This was a severe penalty; . j and it should serve as a warning , j to men still V 25 "And Samuel came no more to eec- Saul until the day of his death nevertheless, Samuel mourn'd for Saul, and the Lord repented that he- had made Saul king of Israel." In the language of the Old Testament. God is said to repent ■ J when a change In the conduct and ''character of those with whom he j is dealing leads to a correspond- , Ing change in his plans and purj posee toward them. The world s problem today, ac- , cording to Dr. Fosdlck. Is that of , making nations fit to live with. The United Nations is absolutely indispensable to a secure world. If nations are to be capable of workI ing together, we as individuals , have a part to play in miking races and nations decent "Every unfair discrimination a white man practices against a negro, every nasty slur voiced by a Gentile against Jeww, or by a Jew against Gentiles, every expression of contempt against a whole race or uation. every outburst of meaneas, dis- > courtesy, prejudice and bad temper, | makes less possible the solution of I mankind's gigantic problem.” It is evident that making nations tit [i to live with is everylmdy's reI sponaibility, yes. but a spiritual > problem that "must start in the i Intelligence, the conscience, lhe II good will of us all." .

He seems to ask you to put on nothing, only to be what you are. He does not want you to get better or worse- When you are with him you feel as a prisoner feels who has been declared innocent. You do not have to be on your guard You can say what you think, express what you feel. He is shocked al nothing, offended at nothing, so long as it is genuinely you. He understands those traditions in your nature that lead others to misjudge you. With him you breathe freely. You can take off your coat and loosen your collar You can avow your little vanities and absurdities, and in opening them up to him they are lost, disolved in the white ocean of his loyalty. He understands You do not have to be careful. You can abuse him. neglect, berate him. Best of all you can keep still with him. it makes no matter He likes you. He is like fire, that purifies all you do Through and underneath it's ail he sees, knows and loves — you. A friend, I repeat, is one with whom you dare to be youiself. Dr. Frank Crane. o Harold E. Rtaasea, former governor of Minnesota, resumed his duties as president of the International Council of Rellgiouai Education at a special staff meeting at the Council's headquarters in Chicago. 111.

The Methodist Church has gained 1.050,b99 new members ia 40,264 churches as the result of a "year of evangelism" conducted as part of its tour-year Crusade for Christ campaign. A report here covering a 16-month period showed 567.233 of the new members were received on confession of faith and 483,655 by transfer. A total of 894 new and reopened hutches was also i eported.
