„ i Making of a King Lesson for August 24, 1952 the most romantic and figures known to song andr story is that of David, King of Israel. Even when Christ came to earth, his fellow-countrymen could think of no grander

title for him than **Son of David.” Now David has been idealized almost beyond recognition. The whole story of his life (as seen in the Bible) reveals a man in whom strength and weakness, good and evil, were strangely

mingled. \, But that to not the main point here. The fact to, David made a strong and successful king; and if there was evil in him, it was more in the older man than in the young one. The story of how he became king is too long even to review here. Let us concentrate on that eloquent little one-sentence portrait of him drawn for a description of him by one of his friends when they both were young. It to, found in I Sam. 16:18. ' His Family and His Fun The big argument for & David by his friend who . recommending him to the king, k that he was son of Jesse of Bethlehem. \ . * ■ A manto family to not an\ important fact Men do not often reach high places merely on the reputation of their ancestors; but having the right parents will make a good start. This to seriously true; for a manto heredity to what goes . . into the making of his bone and - muscle, brain and nerves. The kind of place where a man lived as a boy, the kind of father he had, spells volumes about the \ man, even years later. Can we forget that David was the son of a sheep-rancher, a boy who grew up working out of doors? ’ That his parents were God-fearing people? David's friend also mentioned his playing the harp. No doubt David did this as a recreation; he was no professional musician. But his avocation, his spare-time enjoyment, turned out to be the first rung on his climb to fame. It to important to know about any man: How does he spend his spare time? e e • His Brawn and His Brains 14a VID’S FRIEND, recommending him for a position in the royal court, spoke of him as a “mighty man of valor, and a man of war.” This was an exaggeration, for David \a|! that time had never seen military service, as the story in Samuel shows. However, it was a good prophecy; and so far as the valor went, it had well been proved. A man who can take a bear by the beard and kill him, may be a bit rash but he to certainly no coward. And what muscles that young man must have had! Never think of David as a little boy when he killed Goliath the giant; he was an athlete better than mpst But David, unlike some athletes, did not need a manager. He was a “man of war,” or at least the young friend who was describing him thought he was| , and time proved him right. Now it takes more than muscle to be a successful general. Almost anybody can be a private; and a man can rise somewhat in the ranks on sheer brute power. But when it comes to staff work, planning campaign!, handling large numbers of men and supplies, fitting everything together like a gigantic chess game with nations at stake, —that calls organizing ability, farsightedness, mental powers of a high order. • e ie His Face, His Fluency, His Faith rWHE UNKNOWN young man whose L word-picture of David we are following, was like many young people in mixing together items that an older person would take up separately. Almost in one breath he reported that David was a good speaker, good-looking and godly. But the best thing about him, Ms friend saved to the last: s the Lord is with him. We make a mistake if we tMnk that h ly gifted, fortunate people ca. afford to get on without God. It to just these who need God most. If we can say that any one person needs God more than ethers. Lfet us rather say that it to more important for the rest of us that the superior men and women among us be God-fearing, God-loving, Godobeying men and vfomen, than that important persons should be so.
