Text of the Lesson, I Sam. iv, 1-15, 18, Memory Verses, 10, 11—Qolden Text, Jas. 1, 22—Commentary Prepared by Rev. O. M. Stearns. As we read this chapter and the two following and vil, 1, 2. we cannot.- but notice the frequent mention of the ii rk of the Lord, or the ark of God, or some of Its other titles, and when we recall that it was the principal vessel In the tabernacle and the only one of all the tabernacle vessels that con tinued to be used in the temple of Solomon, that it was made specially to be a receptacle for the two tables of the law. that over Its blood stained lid or mercy seat and between the cherubim the glory of the Lord was revealed, and that from above the mer cy sent the I,ord communed with Mopes, we must be persuaded that this vessel bad a wonderful significance. And when we rend In Rev. xi. 19, of the temple of God in heaven being opened and there being Been In It the ark of His Testament we stand in still greater awe before this holy vessel. It is mentioned forty times In the books of Moses and twenty-eight times in Joshua, chiefly in connection with the crossing of the Jordan. In our lesson chapter and those following it Is mentioned thirty-seven times, so that we can easily see that the Interest cen ters upon it. Lesson verse 2 shows us Israel smit ten before the Philistines, and we think that we hear again the words of Joshua. "O Lord, what shall I say when Israel turneth their backs before their enemies?" (Josh, vli, 8.) But, as then, so now, it was because of sin in the camp. As the elders considered the present defeat they did not seem to think that the difficulty might be with Israel, nor did they turn to the Lord, but said. "Let us fetch the ark of the covenant of the Lord that it may save us" (verse 3). The presence of the ark caused Israel to shout with n great shout and when tbe Philistines understood that it was because the ark was come Into the camp tbey said that God was come Into tbe camp, the gods that smote the Egyptians. On the part of both Israel and the Philis tines It seemed like pure superstition. The latter knew no better, but for Is rael to put confidence In the ark rather than In the Lord reminds us of their worship of Aaron's golden calf and, away beyond the time of this lesson, their worship of the serpent of brass (II Kings xvlii. 4). Is it not the same today with those who think there Is any benefit In the mere reading of a chapter in the Bible, or saying a prayer, or taking the com munion. or in any religious formality? Anything that is not real heart deal ing with the Living God Is only a form of superstition. The Philistines were stirred to great fervor by the cry of their leaders. "Be strong; quit your selves like men and fight" (verse 9), and the Lord delivered Israel into their bands so that 30.000 were slain, in cluding Ell's two sons, and the ark of God was taken (verses 10, 11). Poor old Ell waited with fear and trembling for tidings from the battle, and when he heard the sad news and that tho ark of God hnd been taken he fell off his seat backward and broke his neck and died. He was ninety-eight years old and had Judged Israel forty years (verses 12-18). I think that while outwnrdly it was a broken neck it may have been Inwardly a broken heart. In the same day it seems as If Phlne has' wife was also taken away (verses 19-22), so thnt a great calamity came to tbe bouse of Ell in one day (il. 34). Thus suddenly have great events trans pired again and again, and so shall it foe at the end time. The story of the ark In the hands of the Philistines (chapters v and vi) makes us think of Jerusalem, a bur densome stone for all people, and that all that burden themselves with It shall be cut in pieces tZech. xii, 3). The Philistines found the ark a very griev ous thing to have in their midst, and after a few months (vL 1) they were glad to send it back to Israel. The story of the new cart and the two milk cows tied to It with their calves shut up at home and the cows taking the straight way to Betb-Shemesh, lowing as tbey went, but not turning aside to the right hand or to tbe left (vi 7-12), is a wonderful record of the hand of tbe Lord upon dumb beasts and brings to mind the dominion over all sheep and oxen, beasts of the field, fowl of tbe air and fish of the sea that has had some foreshadowings all the way along, but will be fully seen when the kingdom comes (Ps. vlli, 6-9; Heb. il. 8, 9). .. The men of Beth-Shemesh rejoiced greatly to welcome the ark. and tbey offered burnt offerings and sacrifices unto the Lord, but tbey made a sad mistake when they looked Into the ark. and they suffered greatly for It As we said at the beginning of this study, the ark was made to keep the holy law of God. which Israel could not keep. The blood sprinkled upon the mercy seat from year to year (Lev. xvi) told of the demands of the law met by a substitute, even Christ, the end of the law for righteousness to every one that bellevetb (Rom. x, 4i. Life never was nor could be by the law. which can only bring us all In guilty before God and is therefor* railed the ministration of death (Gal. Ul, 21; Rom. ill. 10; II Cor. ill. 7). The Wrecker.
