WHIT DDES JEHOVAH j REQUIRE OF NATIONS?, J In AU Lands Thoughts Are Called Back to the Supreme Being by Crisis SAUL'S HEAD WAS TURNED I International S. S. Lesson Is "Saul Rejected by the Lord," I Sam., Ch. 15 . (By William T. Ellis) Not for a generation have people been so ready as to-day to consider I the dealings of God with nations. | In all lands the thoughts of mankind' are being called back by the present! crisis to tho elemental truth of a Su preme Being, whose purposes are I somehow being worked out in human | history. This lesson story of a royal i tragedy in old "Israel's Hie will be | read with unwonted interest. Fori Iwe now are all eager to learn the los-I sons which God has written in the 'past for the present. What does Je- Iho vail require to-day of nations and I their rulers? I A handsome big king had the Jews'" | got for themselves, in order to bo irrt the fashion of the times. Head and I shoulders above his fellows was Saul j j —but the' head was easily turned. , I The son of Kish, who at his election' was so modest that he hid himself ! among tho baggage, had become a thorough convert to the doctrine of divine right of kings, lie felt him self competent to revise the mandates of God's prophet,.and the will of the Lord Himself. Probably Saul woitW have found our own times congenial for we aro nowadays particularly fond of dismissing, with a wave of the hand, all of the law of God which docs not please our fancy. A popular pastime Is to sit in easy judgment upon the judgments of Jehovah. When the Powerful Patronize God The Golden Text of the Old Testa ment, found in this chapter, is the key to the whole story: "Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice. Many men in our day are patronizing the Lord of Hosts, paying Him compli ments, making gifts to His causes, endorsing the church, and speaking favorable words about the Bible— but not for a moment yielding their own lives in obedience to God's re vealed will. They have fallen into the blunder of King Saul, being, like him, so self-inflated that they fail to perceive the arrogance and insolence of their assumption that God can re ceive compliments from such as they. Over many a public subscription to a righteous cause from a godless man; over many a benevolent institution or foundation similarly established, may be written these burning words spoken | by Samuel, "Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice." Nobody can do any acceptable service to God until be has first yielded Him obedience. To at tempt to honor by word or deed the great God whom we refuse to honor by word or deed the great God whom we refuse to honor by discipleship is insufferable presumption. Would that the image of foolish, vain and overthrown Saul might stalk amid the rich and self-compla cent non Christian patrons of religion in this generation; and would that the heroic figure of the prophet Sam uel, repudiating with biasing: scorn such insults to the Almighty, might arise before the eyes of all the syco phantic and time-serving leaders In the church who fawn for favors upon the rich and tho mighty. Until a man has.yielded himself to the Lord, the Lord wants nothing from him. Verily, this old story is pertinent to our own times. The King Who Did Not l)o llis Errand The popular pastime of revising the program of God is not new. The men who would eliminate hell from religion and justice from God's deal ings with man, making the* Creator and Ruler of the universe merely a sort of incarnate Good Nature, whom nobody is bound to obey or respect or fear, aro in line with some Old Testa ment figures, of whom King Saul is a conspicuous sample. Even our poor wisdom can see rea son and justice in the divine com mand to Israel to exterminate the Amalekites, those first persecutors of the children of Israel. The same spirit of large justice which dooms a murderer to the electric chair may decree the punishment of a nation. As a sacred duty, Saul was ordered to destroy tho Amalekites, making them and their possessions a "de voted" thing. That is, no spoil was to be taken and no prisoners captured. This was not a mere military forav, to be- rewarded by loot and triumphal processions. The expedition belonged in the high realm of the execution of a holy decree of Jehovah. But Saul thought ho knew better; even as there are thousands -of our fellow countrymen who aro to-day re vising the Decalogue, so far as their own personal conduct goes. The old fogey notion of God's just decrees could not be held without modification by such a wise and liberal and mighty monarch as So he blue-penciled aud interlined his instruction from God. He would obey so far as torn ported with his own pleasure and dig nity and discretion. Therefore he re fused to slay Agag, the Amalokite king, reserving him to grace as a pris oner his own triumphal return to his capital. As for the spoils of war, why, it was most impractical of Je hovah to require that all be destroyed; so Saul would have the best for him self and tho people; He would make a sacrifice of a portion, of course, but only in the presence of the people, that the full glory of his exploit might appear to all. When the Doom Fell So it was a very self-complacent Saul who greeted condescendingly the man who had made him king. "I have performed the cpmmnnd mcnt of Jehovah," he said, thinking of himself, doubtless, "of course, I found it necessary to revise the or ders given me; but then, you know, the practical worldly wisdom of the laity, and of thd successful man of affairs, must supersede the absurd literalism of you old-fogey preachers and your rather out-of-date God." "What meaneth then this bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and tho low ing of tho oxen which I hear?" The stern mein of the prophet, and this disconcerting query, must have pene trated even the thick shell of Saul's pride and egotism. For his royal high ness began to squirm and evade—poor, pitiable figure. Why did he not at least stand up, man-fashion, to the conse quences of his own sin? Instead, he blamed it on the people, as if they were king and not he. Ho nad been quklc enough to take the glory of the victory to himself, building a monu ment by the way; but he was not HORLICK'S The Original MALTED MILK Vfiloss you may "HORIIOK'3" you may got a SubatHuXo, Easter G j From the "Live Store" I That's the one day above all other days in I the year when we menfolk try to keep jij' j| pace with the fair sex in the matter of M 3 new and correct attire—ths day that never seems 11 j| || quite compete without at least something new to | ml 11 XASBSKT i wear.

Perhaps Saul had really become In capable of seeing his own sin, for that Is the dreadful fate that follows per sistence In sin. Certainly he gave the wrong reason for his offense, a mere subterfuge. A successful personal worker told me the other day that he commonly llnds personal sin clouking behind professed Intellectual difficul ties, whon a man Is called to face the question of accepting Christ. Saul was dishonestly trying to hide behind the acts of his followers, and behind a profession of pious purposes. In tho same way there is many a person who i:i breaking the laws of God and man in order to become rich, who avows that he wants money for the good It can do. Does heaven have greater ■pity or contempt for the miserable self-excuses of earth? Swiftly fell the word of doom upon the disobedient king. "And Samuel said, .Though thou wast little in thine own sljjht, wast thou not made the head of the tribes of Israel? And Jehovah anointed . thee kins over Israel; and Jehovah • sent thee on a journey, and said, Go, t and utterly destroy the sinners the Amalekites, and fight against theni un til they be consumed. Wherefore then didst thou not obey the voice of Je hovah, but didst fly upon the spoil, and didst that which was evil In the sight of Jehovah? And Saul said unto Samuel, Yea, I have obeyed the voice o!' Jehovah, and have gone the way which Jehovah sent me, and liavo brought Agag tho king of Amaiek, and have utterly destroyed tho Amale kites, But the peoplo took of tho spoil, sheep and oxen, the chief of the devoted things, to sacrifice unto Je hovah thy God in Gllgal. And Samuel said, Hath Jehovah as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, us in i obeying the voice of Jehovah? BeholdX 1 to obey is better than sacrifice, gnd ' to hearken than the fat of rams. For < rebellion Is as the sin of witchcraft. . and stubbornness is as Idolatry and i i teruphlui. Because thou hast re- i I jected the word of Jehovah He hatli also rejected thee from being king." When God Outlines His Plans Not His mind, but His method, was changed by God in the rejection -of Saul. Tho breaking of the tool in His hand compelled Him to seek another. Even God is conditioned by human nature's willingness or unwillingness to conform to His purposes. What a different world this would be to-day if men had been obedient to all of God's beautiful plans! The large in tentions of God are always inevitably fulfilled, but He constantly is forced to altar His procedure. This is the mystery of man's free will under God's sovereignty. We can not understand it; but wo are all con versant, even in our own lives, with j the way in which man can insist upon! having God's second best, Instead of j His best. What took place in the case i of Saul later became necessary with Israel itself; God had to set aside tne i nation which would not conform to j His will. I i All of which demonstrates the ex- ' treme gravity of the consequences of disobeying God. There are strong colors in this a,ncfent picture of Is rael's life; but thej' are needed to bring out in its true light the su premacy of obedience. Before all else, and in all else, and above all else, and after all else, God, because He is God, demands obedience to His will. "Be hold, to obey is better than sacrifice." Tho lesson for life is ulso a lesson for tho church. Not ritual or ministry or popularity cur power or wealth can be any substitute for a church which, throughout its membership, is obedient to God's law. "Why call ye me Lord, and do not the things I command you?" The throne of the soul, like] the throne of Saul, may be most eas ily lost through disobedience. I ! J j CASTORIA For Inf-ints and Chilton.
