[the 2 jksaiMisJ Bible Material: I Samuel 8-11. Devotional Reading: I Samuel 12:19-24. Os fleer Mattrill Lesson for April 12, 1959

THE NAVY HAS a word for a school where men from the ranks are studying to be commissioned officers; the "Officers’ Material School.” Not every enlisted man can be admitted; only those who seem to have what it is going to take to be an officer, and that

is a good deal. ■ The Bible tells || a story of a man r J from the ranks I who was good J "officer material” but who (like ; ’ some Navy can- „ didates) flunked S out. He did not ■ fail, however, for ■ lack of the stuff 1

of which success can be made. Next week’s study concerns hia failure; this week’s thought is given to what could have been his success. He held a good hand, we may say, but he played it badly. Head and Shoulders Look over the cards he held. First, he had what everyone noticed the first moment they looked at him: he stood out in any crowd, head and shoulders above the rest. He would have sat tall in the saddle (only no one around there rode horseback): he stood tall on the ground. He was strong enough to butcher and cut up a yoke of oxen by himself, and in a fight he had proved himself a lion. Men have been successes in life without extraordinary strength; but for a leader of men, a store of extra power and energy is important. Some investigator found that executives in business are on an average, taUer and heavier than the men lower down the ladder. The executive needs the extra power for the extra drive. But of course a giant can be a fool. You cannot predict how much of a leader a man will be merely by measuring the distance from his :rew-cut to his heels. "When they molded him, the molder broke the mold.” it is said of some people. It could have been said of Saul. He was not only head and shoulders taller than most, ha was a head smarter than most Good brains, originality — always high cards in the game of life. Some people, with original minds are quiet, mousy— and un-noticed. If to originality there are added of decision, a forthright approach to all problems — then you have the makings of a great leader. Now Saul started out as such a man. We read of him that a foreign army was besieging the city of Jabesh, and threatened to make a "treaty” by putting out the right eye of every man in the town. All Israel heard about it, and there was loud wailing in the land. But when the news came to Saul he did not weep a tear. He took a yoke of oxen, cut them up with his own hands, sent pieces around to every tribe, with the message: Be at Jabesh, ready to fight, or have your oxen made into soup-meat like, this!” It may have been rough, but it got results. A Modest Patriot Above an, the Tsralites were looking for a man who loved his country, the whole land and people of Israel. Saul by his action at Gilead had proved himself such a person. He not only would make a sacrifice for his country’s sake, he had the ability to inspire others also. He had shown there too that he placed the interests of the tribes as a whole above the Interests of any one tribe or city; and that conversely the fate of any one city was the concern of all. Our country could use more patriots of this stripe today, men who like George Washington can see beyond the limits of their own state and live as citizens of the American Union. We need men who will not be indifferent to the troubles of other parts of our land, who realize that the tragedy or the glory of one city is the tragedy or the glory of all. We don’t need men who shout and brag about how much they love their country. Senators Snort and Phogbound are always with us; but politics with them Is away of making money without too much work. Patriotism is nothing to be shouted about; It is a quality that shines best In a modest life. Saul at the beginning was almost too self-effacing. The office had to seek him, and that was good. He was king only because the people demanded him and God through the prophet destined him.
