I CommentsJ3l P On Ij^LessonJgSH 1 Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson. The Tragedy of Saul, I Samuel 15:17.-22’; 48:6-9; 31:3,4, for Sunday, August 17. Saul made a good beginning, but by his own \ choices followed his own reasoning, making one* nrtstake after another so that he wasfinally defeated. V.lt. "And Samuel said. When thou wast little in thipe own sight wast thou not made head of the Tribes of Israel, and the Lord anointed thee king. ovor Israel?” These words foildvr one of j Saul’s failures wholly to follow the Lord. Samuel recalls haul’s modesty and humility in his having counted himself small because he was of the small tribe of Benjamin. His eajTy qualifications pleased the Lord who anointed him king. V.lB. “And the Lord sent thee on a journey, and said, Go and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites and fight against them till they be consumed.” By these weirds God does not commend war. By an illustration, G,od teaches that there will be pronounced oh all - sinners divine judgment which,, in most Cases will be administered at the final day. Here is a tremendous though for all wrongdoers. It jjs a great mistake to think that God’s mercy will shut out the judgment doom. '' ' y v. 20. “And Saul said to Sainuel, Yea. I .have obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have gone the way which the Lord hath sent me, and have brought Agag t|ie king of the Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Anialekites.” Saul obeyed and disobeyed. He obeyed in utterly destroying the Amalekites but disobeyed in saying the king. Failing to obey God just at one point makes a man guilty of sin and he must be classified with sinners that disobey Gpd wholly. There is no such thing as a respectable sinner., V. 21. rßut the people took Os the spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things that should have been utterly destroyed, to sacrifice unto ' the Lord thy God.” Saul tried to plead his innocence by the way tfLOu&eac/ie* ! Cr|ticisni acts like a mustard; plas|pr on, laziness. Lazy pains are euret| by blistering criticteni, if it is kind and just. It acts I like a mirrqr in which you can see whether the hair of your conduct is disheveled or the petticoat of your j ambition is hanging down; it en- j ables., you to see yourself as others see you. Be thankful tl|at, instead of constant praise, now and then you get kind and just criti- ’] clsm. fe? ■. ' Lesson Prayer: Lesson prayer: We are grateful that ds children we were accepted of t-he Lord. Forgive us for liaving spoiled the good beginnings by allowing exceptions here and there io the will of God and attempts to justify ourselves by expressions of compensation. We pray for the constraining influence of divine love and for the undergirding of the everlasting arms. Grant us cohtimldl over sin that we may triumph in the end. | • i • ? , T- -7

of compensation. It is such a common practice to cover up wrong by acts of kindness and say, “Forget it.” V. 22. “And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold to obey is greater than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.” The inner life must be right before righteous expresions have any value. It is a great take\ to attempt to build one’s Christian life on church going, . church membership, church giving, Observing the Christian ordinances and not be truly converted and wholly consecrated to the Lord. V. 6. “And it came to pass as they came, when David was returirep from the slaughter of the Philistines. that the women came out I of all the cities of Israel, singing I and dancing, to meet king Saul, with tabrets, with joy, and with instruments pf musick.” The victory over the most fierce enemy, and especially the slaying of Goliath, was cause of great rejoicing, j Victory over sin and the enemies ' of our souls is our greatest cause of rejoicing. V 5.7,8. “And the women answered one another as they played and said, Saul hath slain his thousands and David his ten thousands. And Saul was very wroth, and the saying displeased hijn; and said, They have ascribed toj David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed thousands; and what can he have more than but the kingdom/’ One sin begets another, so here crops up the bitter jealousy which bred murder in Saul’s heart. V. 3. "And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him; and he was sore wounded of the archers.” Sin often finds itsown punishment. V. 4. "Then said Saul to his ar-mour-bearer, Draw thy sw‘ord and fhriist me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and thrust me through and abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not; for he wds sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword, and fell upon it.” Here is demonstrated, “T)he wages of sin is death.” —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Chrisj tian Education, National Council ’ of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and used by permission. Bette® Owl Caring for Korea “When we hear the word “Korea” we too often think only of a battlefield —of tanks and planes i and guns, of the hill or the town or the mountain pass which was l the scene of some great Allied victory or some crippling defeat. We forget that “Korea” means people. 1 too — 30,000,000 men and woineh and children 4ho are surrounded by sickness, hunger and death. Bpcause w-e have not seen the shivering Koiean baby who stretches out tiny arms toward the bod}’ of his dead mother . . or the old man who is dying alone in a ditch beside a inine-riddled Korean road ... or the Korean womail who sobs out her grief in the night for the husband who-will never return —because we have not seen all this we forget that “Korea” means destitute, sick, starving paople.” I Evidently the greatest need in the world today is Korea? and the universal response speaks well for the people.

Ralph W. Stockman, pastor of Christ church. The council is com--posed of interchurch and other Protestant organizations in four of the five boroughs of New York. The Golden Rule Foundation’s annual estimate reveals that a total of >1,992,576,688 was contributed in 1951 by U. S. Protestants, Catholics and Jews through their churches and synagogues. This is an increase of >98,576,000, or 5.2 percent, over the amount estimated tor 1950 by the Russell Sage Foundation. The number of foreign missionaries from Canada and the United States going abroad in the five postwar years has reached 935 annually more than double prewar years. In-the five years before the war, the average was 389.
