jUNDAY SCHOOL
Lesson Vlll.—First Quarter, For
Feb. 21,1915.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
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.
Fire can wreck the home end leave It
Desolato and In despair;
Bursting bnthroorii plumbing also
Scatters ruin everywhere;
Papcrhangers have a knack of
Topsy turveylng a place.
And a healthy boy can always
Change its neatness to disgrace.
But there's nothing so completely
Puts the home upon the blink
As a busy little baby
And a nickel's worth.ofjok.
