SunUtlL. Lesson V.— Second Quarter, For May 2, 1915. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of ths Lesson, I Sam. xix, 1-12. Memory Verses, 4. s—Golden Text, Prov. xxix, 25—Commentary Pre pared by Rev. O. M. Stearns. The work of the devil is not a pleas out meditation, but it is necessary that we should know our great adversary so as to successfully resist him. The topic of the lessou today Is Haul trying to kill David, and ever since Caia killed Abel the devil baa been very busy killing people. He is spoken of lu Heb. il. 14, as having the power of death: but. although be has been per mitted to follow his occupation so long, the time will come wbeu be shall be eent to the lake of Are forever and there shall be no more death on this earth iKev. xx, 10; xxl, 4; I Cor. xv, 26t. Meantime it Is the believer's priv ilege to be delivered from fear of death and from all bondage In connec tion therewith (Matt, x, 28; Heb. 11, 35). All envy and Jealousy and strife are also of the devil and should not be tolerated in a believer (Jas. Hi, 14-16; Eph. lv. 30, 3D. Although chapter xlx or a part of It Is our lesson chapter, we must look at xvlli for the connection. The first four verses of chapter xvlil are tbrilllngly beautiful In their assurance and mani festation of the love of Jonathan and David, but we shall come to that topic in our next lesson. After David's vic tory over Goliath Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all tbe people, and the women sang his praises, magnifying him much more than Saul (xviil, 5-7). This made Saul angry and jealous, and twice he tried to kill David with a Javelin, but each time David escaped (xviiL 8-11). While God may allow His saints to be sorely tried, persecuted and even slain, no real evil can befall them, for in the resurrection they shall be as manifestly without injury as were Daniel's friends when they came out of the furnace or Daniel himself when he came out of the lion's den. Because the Lord was manifestly with David and lie behaved himself ■wisely (or prospered, xvlii, 5, 14, mar pini Saul became afraid of him, re moved him from being head of the army and made htm captain over a thousand. But all Israel and Jndah loved David (xviii, 12-16). The rest of chapter xviil tells how Saul sought to get rid of him by subtlety; but, fall ing In that scheme, be became David's continual enemy. Chapter xlx opens with a command to Jonathan and to all the servants that they should kill Da vid, but Jonathan advised him to hide a little while until he could talk with his father. The result of this Inter view was that Saul swore to Jonathan that David should not be slain, so Jon athan brought him back, and he was In Saul's presence as in times past cxlx. 1-7). So frj- so good, but a man liable to give way to an evil spirit at any moment cannot be trusted. How Badly suggestive the opening words of verse 8, "And there was war again!" So it has been, and so it shall be until the devil is removed from the earth and the air, and the whole age in which we are now living is described by our Lord as a *ime of wars and ru mors of wars, famines, pestilences and earthquakes (Matt, xxlv, 6. 7), but the time will come when the nations shall learn war no more, for He who alone Is able to do it will make wars to ceas» unto the end of the earth. In the war with the rhilistines Da vid was victorious again and slew them with a great slaughter, and the Lord wrought another great salvation for all Israel (verses 5, S>. But there was war again iu Saul's heart and home, for the evil spirit was yielded to. euvy and anger had control, and the javelin almost did its deadly work with David (verses 9, 10). Again the Lord was his shield and deliverer, and the weapon did not prosper (Isa. liv, 17). As some one has said, the devil Is very persistent," and so David had not much peace. Now he seeks to kill David in his own house, and his wife, Michal. proves to be his human deliverer, helping him to make his es cape through a window and putting an Image in his bed, for when she said to the messengers that he was sick Saul then sent to bring him on his bed. Saul was so angry when he found how his daughter had deceived him that he spake of killing her (verses 11-17). What fearful control of Saul the dev il did obtain! And It is so still that if the Spirit of God is resisted the ad versary comee in with great power. If people will not receive the truth God allows them to receive a lie (II Thess. li. 10-12). David, seeing himself so persistently persecuted, fled to his friend Samuel at his home in Kamah. and they both went and dwelt In Nal oth. Three times Saul sent to take him there, but each time the Spirit of God hindered and even took hold of Saul himself as he went after him (verses IS-24). We bnve a right to sing fro-n the heart: "If God be for ns who ean be against us?" "The Lord is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord !s the strength of my Mfe. Of whom shall I be afraid?" (Bom. viil. 31: Ps. xxvii. 1.) There is great comfort also In Isa. liv. 17. "No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper, and every tonsroe that shall rise against thee in judgment tliuii shnlt condemn." See also Isa. I. 7. 10. and 11. 12. 13, with Heb. 11. 14. 15: I John HI S. Maybe. New Torkers who see America This season, by the way. Perhaps may like it well enough To stay. —Kansas City Journal.
