DISCOVERING THE LEADERS OF FUTUREJIMES Story of the Failure of Saul and of a Suicide. The International Uniform Sunday .School Lesson tor July 17: Discovering Future Leaders—l (®amiU, 16:4-13. BY WM. E. GrSLROY, D. DEditor of the Congregationalist Out of the failure of Saul and the tragic suicide of a man who came to the kingly leadership in Israel under most favorable circumstances but who went down to defeat through lack of moral discipline and through the insidious power of jealousy, comes another kingly figure whose career also was to be characterized by deep and tragic sins, but in whom, in contrast with Saul, the finer elements ultimately triumphed. David, whom in our lesson Samuel is represented as annointing king of Israel, has become, through the Hebrew scriptures a world figure of traditional greatness and interest. Sweet Singer of Israel The Psalms, the beautiful and in some respects terrible poetry of Israel, are associated with his name, though probably only a limited number of these were actually psalms of David. He is known as the “sweet singer of Israel” though there are psalms that are terrible in their wrath and grandeur and that reflect the awful, rather than the sweet and tender and beautiful. This varied character of the Psalms is representative of the strang contrasts in David himself. The “sweet singer of Israel” was a man of war, so bloody in his career and achievements that, according to the records of the Old Testament, he was not permitted to fulfill the aspirations that he had for the building of the temple, and passed on that great achievement to his son Solomon. David stands as a great representative figure in human life, and in the records of that life we can discern a great deal that is necessary for a well balanced judgment concerning humanity. David represents the way in which the highest and best aspirations of men have been oftentimes associated with the most MOTION PICTURES

tremendous temptations and with serious moral lapses. David, it should be remembered, besides being a man of blood and an adulterer and a murderer. In fact his adultery led to murder, for having wronged Uriah he sent that valiant man to his death under the most atrocious circumstances. Show Honesty of Scriptures We must not, in justice to the Old Testament narrative and the proper study of the Bible, neglect these terrible facts and indictments that are recorded against David. Is it not a profound tribute to the high integrity of the Scriptures that they should record with such impartiality the evil deeds of David as well as the good things that were in him? On the other hand, we should not allow even the foul sins of David to blind our eyes to the good that was in him. If there is one thing that stands out very strongly and clearly from the records of his life, it is this —that even an adulterer and a murderer may still have strongly marked upon his soul the image of his Creator and may have deep down in his heart, beneath his temptations and his falls, the appreciation of good and the aspiration for the higher life.. Lesson in David’s Life The study of the life of David is calculated to produce in men a rare spirit of discernment in their quest of good and it is in the power to see the good even in the hearts of men who seem wicked that we attain most nearly to the vision of Christ. Even concerning those who crucified Him Jesus said, “Father forgive them; for they know not what they do.” Our lesson brings David before us in the attractive quality of his youth, ruddy, and physically very beautiful. It is well that v/4 grasp this picture as the necessary starting point in the study of a varied life strangely full of intense contrasts.Future lessons tell the story of David’s development, both in good and in evil ways.
