Now the Philistines fought against Israel: and the men of Israel, fied from before the Philistines, and fell down slain in Mouut Gilboa. 2. And the Philistines followed hard upon Saul and upon his sons and the Philistines slew Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchisur, Saul's sons. 3. And the battle went sore against Saul, and the arcbres hit him, and he was sore wounied of the archers.

Then said Saul unto his armorbearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith, lest these uncircumcised come and thnrst ine through, aud abuse me. But his armor-bearer would not, for he was .sore afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell upon it.

And when his armor-bearer saw that Saul was dead he fell likewise upon his sword and died with him. 6. So Saul died, and his three sous, and his armor-bearer, and all his men, that same day together.—1 Samuel xxsi, 1-6.

THE ORDEIt OF EVENTS.

Be it remembered that in Bible history, as in secular, the events did not always occur in the order in which you find them on the sacred page. The writer of annals always arranges his materials in exactly consecutive order. But historans consult the efFe^t which the whole course of aflfairs is intended to bring out, and then group the facts with reference to such an issue. Here lies before me history with a few chapters devoted to events which occur in England, followed by chapters concerning the Spanish conquest. Just so the verses and even is recorded at, the close of chapter xxx, do not connect in matter of time with those in our lesson. The thread of events in chapters xxvi'i, and xxix. stops short xxix., 11. The Philistines lackiog faith inDavid had him dismissed. This done, David and his followers came to Ziklag and enacted the thrilling part described in chapter xxx. Chapter xxxi., 1, catches up the account that was dropped at xxix., 11, and disclose* Israel in actual

ENGAGEMENT WITH THE ENEMY.

Verse 1: "Now, the Philistines fought that is translated literally, "were fiehting." Six miles west from Bethshan the haughty Philistines, who once melted away through fear of the name of Saul (1 Samuel, xiv. li,) are now ontdointr Wellington at Waterloo while the Hebrews under Saul are beaten before they strike a blow. Confidence in the commander is half the battle. And long before this time the weakness of their king must have cut the nerve of Israel's courage. Philistia, inherently strong, hot with revenge, allowed by the Lord to act as his agent, urges the battle. They empty their quivers of arrows upon the poor Israelites, and fill the woods with flying showers of death. The faithful fight feebly, and then break and fly_8outhward up over the steeps of Gilboa.

THE DEFEAT AND KOUT.

It was an easy defeat. No record Is made ef recovering ranks and ral lying the lines. And because it was so easy it was not natural. The na* tion that had the renown of Joshua in rememberance and the battle-flag of so many well-fought fields under Saul were not made of the stuff to own au easy defeat. In modern times the haughty Corsican captain announced it as his miltiary creed that the Lord is always on the side of thestronsest battallion3. He also snuffed and sneered the piety that says man proposeth, but God disposeth. Yet Bonaparte beheld a day, just as King Saul did, when all his schemes miscarried, and numbers were nothing. After all the history of success and defeat is studied we have no reason to change the statement found iu Psalm lxxv, 5-7.

It was a complete defeat, (xxxi 9-7) a Hebrew Bull Run rout upon the mountains of Gilboa! As the discipline of Israel at that time was conducted by the severest methods, a crushing defeat like this looked much worse than ours did in the late war. It is much more discreditable to a boxer or a bruiser to be worsted in the fray, than for some- person who was never trained to fight. This rout remained on record to reproach the Jewish people long after.

The saddest figure in the whole affair is THE DESOLATE KING SAUL. 1. His kingdom has been rent. God, by the mouth of Samuel, said it would be. It is, from top to bottom, and the throne is empty. 2. His sons are out of sympathy with him. His son Jonathan, his pride and hope, has not been in harmony with his father's mind foi a long time- For some cause, possibly under the influence of one of those frequent spasms of repentance which came on Saul, ha had enforced the law of God as found in Leviticus xx. 27, and Deuteronomy xviii. 10, 12. But now, in his desolation, he has hunted up an old wizard to show him away out (xxviii. 7,) and disgraced his crown by disguising his royal person for an interview [xxvvfi i. 8] Falle forsaken, savage, stultified, Saul is fast sinkieg to the bottom. Not only had men forsaken him: God shut up his compassion against him. The lips prophesy lny silent in the grave of Samuel at Barnah. The mysterious evidences of the divine mind on the Ephod were no more visible Urim would say nothing— xxxviii. 6.

The last battle of his crumbling cohorts hfis iven dismay and demoralization to every mm of tlura.

His shree sons have fallen, (xxxi, 2.) The very shield of the king himself, no longer a symbol of security, has been—(Napolean'ssword at Sedan) "vilely castaway the shield of Saul, as though he had not been anointed with oil." (2 Samuel, i, 21.) DEATH OF THE DESOLATED KING.

There are two different ideas of the manner of his death. From

vxxi.,

His death was succeeded by the most shamful indigDities to his royal character (xxxi, 9-liJ.) What a fall was there, my country. They that sow to the wind shall reap the whirlwind.

Now, "When tliehurlv burly's done. When the battle'^ lost an'i won," we may best close the lesson by taking a look at, DAVID STANDING OVER DEAD SAUL.

To appreciate this we need a poetic sense at.d a study of Second Samuel, first chapter. 1. We might expect Davi to pronounce proclamations of victory and ring his rejoicings through the land. How opposite were his sentiments and assertions. Historians have tried to make Cromwell appear mag* nanimous over the dead aud beheaded Charlss 1, but the fanciful fabric of their building will not stand the test of time. But David lameuting Saul's downfall is au impeii?h:ible fact. 2. For the unsullied luster of Da« vid's character it was fortursate that the Philistine lords would not allow Acuish to let David follow with them, xxix, 4 otherwise the death of SauL might have been somehow associated with the presence, prowess and purpose of David.

LESSON.

1. Unrepented sin and uureformed sianers are sure to meet the measure of their deseris. This is the most central, cotapreheusiv^ aud impressive lesson of the hour, so soon as Saul was exalted to power he commenced to do wrong, 1 Sam* uel xiv. Then he disobeyed the com mand to clean out Ame'.ik, and prac ticed unblushing duplicity. A«aiu and again he repented. That is for a moment repented a little on the surface repented to -escape suffering. Bnt he never reformed. He went sraight back into his old sins of pride, imperiousness, turbulence of temper, and impiety. And when at last he had, rather by his conscience than by any real ghost of Samuel, called up a recital of of his course, the sentence came down clear, xxviii, IS, God pardons penitents who actually turn and do better. But lip repentance, followed by further and deeper relapse than ever, will and must issue in the dishonor that befell Saul the king. The bible holds no word of warning more momentously true than the text, ''Be sure yoursins will find you out." Ask the sufferers of the whisky ring. 2. Jonathan the good died with Saul the bad.

Theinnocent often perish with and on account of the wickedness of the wicked. Beside the guilty who have corrupted others and themselves in the infamy of the rum traffic, there arejresults of misery which ramify through thousands of families, bearing a stream of bitterness) to the mouths of the innocent.

Why is this permitted? For causes which are too big for our feeble mind to fully measure. An iunocent sheep or lamb lying on the shearer's table might well ask, "Why shear me of my beautiful fleece—my ornament aud covering?" Could the lamb understand the shepherd's language this reply would have reason in it ^sufficient to reconcile the sufferer: "It will not seriously hurt you. Except for a short season it will only incommode. A better will grow out instead. Meantime the cropped fleece will be woven into fabrics for the comfort and life of men." Out of every seeming sorrow aud suffering which befalls an innocent child of our Heavenly Father their arises remedy, relief, riches for some other interest of his great family. At present we caanot comprehend the language of Providence. But "then we shall know even as we are known." Now, Oh death, 'Thou strik'st the dull peasant—he sinks in the dark,

Nor saves e'eu the wreck of a namp Thou strik'st the young hero—a glori-.'us mark.

He fails in the blaze of his lame." Saul the sinner, forsaken of God and man,aud reaping the retributions of wrong doing, died ignomin iously. But the noble Jonathan did, we venture to say, die with the bra* very which Barns sings. "Ob, what is death but parting breath?

On many a bloody plain I've dared his face, and in this place I scorn him yet again." But far above the verse of Robert Burns rises the beautiful Song of the Bow, of which David is the author. 2 Sam. i, 18-»27.

we would infer that he was a suicide. When men have had the training of war they often become so reckless of life that suicide is a favorite course for a defeated commander to escape shame. A man who commits suicide is amoral coward, unless he be insane at the moment of the deed. Wc have no notion that all suicides are crazy when they commit the deed. The plea of insanity does not prevail in the court on high, as it commonly does now-a-days. Many a man who has brute courage has no moral. Many who are dauntless amid the display and dissonance of a battle are the basest cowards in the quiet of single combat. gaul had no such stuff in him as David had. Saul trembled before Goliath. David grappled with the ant2. Saul may not have been a suicide nevertheless. In 2 Samuel, i, 510 we find a record which justifies a probability that his attendant took bis life, either through servile submission to the king's commands, or because he saw no escape from capture by the enemy, and determined to end their lives together. This we say is probable. But it must be confessed that the mauuer oj Saul's takine off is clouded in mystery.

"I am reduestcd to give notice that there will be no this afternoon, as Mr. L. is goins fishiug with another clergyman."

A religious journal thinks that if a person brings his opera-glass to church -'as he does to a theatre, the concert4 or the opera, it. is most certainly not allowable,"aud that "if he brings his jjJass to at the audience, criticise the choir, or in any manner use it as an instrument of amusement, he had better stay at home." At thesame lime the paper in question thinks thata near-sighted person mav very properly use operaglasses in church, as may also those hard of hearing who can understand better by seising the movements of the preachers lips,

Clergymen ou^ht to be a little careful in the administration of sym pathy. There are some beautiful doctrines which will probably have to be modified tosuit certain emergencies. One of the cloth was the other day consoling an afflicted brother on what he supposed to be the loss of his wife by death, and as sured him of the certainty of meeting her on the other side, when the afflicted interrupted him by sayiog, "I hope that what you say is not literally true, for I have just beet) divorced, and expected that the bill covered this world and the next If what you say is true, you would pity me, indeed, for my prospect is anything but enchanting." The medicine is good, but it ought not to be i»iveu to the wrong patent.
