I Comments J&l On [ Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson, the Beginning of the Knigdom, I Samuel 941,2; 10:24-27; 13:5-7; 13:19-2?, for Sunday, August 10. Samuel, now old jwith profligate sons, and the surrounding nations having kings, and the need Os a central government,: all entered into the calling of some one qualified to be kiiiig even if Israel ought to have recognised God as king. V.l. "Now there Was a man of Benjamin, whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zefor. the son of Becheroath, the son of ing a king. Kish was a strong man of power.” At this point the hisbegins to relate a new Series of events relating to the working out of God's purpose concerning. a king. Kish was a rstong man physically. so there was inherited a physical kingly quality. V. 2. "And he had a son, whose name was Paul. a choice young mail, and a goodly; and there was not among the..children of Israel a goodlier person than he; from his shoulders and upward he was higher than l any of the people.” Saul was goodly in physical stature.- strength and that day battles were w-on by phys- ! ical force and a large mail would haye a better following than any other. Skill and brains count most : today. t J V-4. “And Samuel said to all the people. See ye him whom the : Lord hath chosen, that there is none like him among all the people? God has acquiesced ih Israel's demand for a king, who in their . estiiijation could not be surpassed.' Their joy took the form of Shoutting, “God save the King,” meaning long live the kin£; Citizens' welfare depend on good government. worthy leaders. V 25. ‘‘Then Samuel told the pie the manner of the kingdom, end wrote it in a brink and laid it before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his own house” The kingdom iof Israel was to constitutional government; the king was\ to be guided and governed by law. Tnejre was present a large-assembly to witness' the anointing' of Saul kV king, at the conclusion of whiyh all were to return home. \ I Sincerity marks a good man. Sincerity is speaking what we think, doing what we profess, performing or making'good what we promise, and ‘being what we seem or appear to be. The most regrettable experience is insincerity, not the: failure to reach a'worthy goal, a high ideal, but thfe consciousness oT having aimed tooJow. No honest; sincere, worthy attempt is ever a vain endeavor. ! '!■■: J ( Clericus bays: ; I ■ ■■ ■ul JI Clericus says: “dur own purposes w? may kpaw, buj God's, we dp not;: know There is something awful? in the thought ot the issues , thajf may spring from the Smallest J affairs, and we shall be bewildered and .paralyzed if once we get a giiitopse of the complicated web I •vhh l.i is ever being Woyeq in thfe > loom, of time, unless we, too, can. bv faith, see the weaver; then we shall be at rest." <

V. 26. “And Saul also went home to Gihea; and these were sent with him a band of men, whose hearts God had touched.’’ Saul was' humble and took his abode in his obscure home. God'a presence is evidenced by Iris having touched the hearts of a body guard. V. 27. “But the children Os Belial said, How shall this man us? And they despised him gnd brought him no prepent. But he held his peace?” Saul showed good pense jp paying no attention to tho rabple mongers. Not to be easily offended is-a mark of character. ■ ■ -V5,5,6. “And the Philistines gathered themselves together to fight ; with Israel, -thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen . . . when the children of Israel saw they were in a strait (for the people were in distress) then the people hid themselves in caves and ' -thickets, ahd in rocks, and in high ! places.” The odds were against Israel so grea,t that there was! nothing to do but to flee for their lives. I Man’s extremity ! is God’s op- , portunity. j V.7. “And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to the land,' of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him treiphling.” Saul with only the help God could give him went forth to battle fololwed by a crowd so poorly equipped , that they trembled. Vs.l9-21. “Now theye was ,no smith throughout all\ jthe land of i Israel; for thfe Philiptines said. ILest the Hebrews make them ; swords or spears; but all the Is- , down to the Philistines., to sharpen every man his i share, and his coulter, knd his ax^., and his mattock.” The Philistines ! had so robbed the Israelites that i there was no chance for them to j make instruments of j war. Thi.4 ! shows the helplessnesp of Israel, j V. 22. “So it came to pass in the day of the Imttle, that there, was neither sword nor spfegr found in the hand of any,of the people that i wete with Saul and Jonathan. But wltii Saul and Jonathan his son wa* there found-,” Here was a crucial'test of SaUl.
