Tsxt of the Lesson, II Sam. 11, 1-Tj v, 1-5 Memory Verses, v, 2, 3—Golden Text, Ps. xxviii, 7—Commentary Pre pared by Rev. D. M. Steams. In the two portions assigned for thU lesson we bnve the record of David's second and third anointings over Judah and over all Israel (11. 4; T, 3), the llrst anointing being at the hands of Samuel (I Sam. xvl, 13). As all anointings are suggestive of the work of the Holy Spirit and of Him whom God anointed with the Holy Ohoet and with power (Acts x. 38), who also anoints and seals the believer with the Holy Spirit (II Cor. 1, 21, 22). we will for a few minutes to the other lesson for today In I Cor. xli, 1-13 to notice that no one can say that Jesus Is the I/ord, but by the Holy Spirit, and that by the same Spirit each believer receives gifts for service as the Spirit sees fit; to every man ac cording to his several ability, to every man his work (Matt, xxr, 15; Mark xiil, 34i. As our Lord Jesus Christ, the son of David, Is waiting for His king dom. when He will occupy the throne of David, so all true believers, anointed kings and priests, associates of Him who shall be a priest upon His throne, the true Meichlzedek, nre waiting with Him and for Him, He at the Father's right hand and we In the conflict here (Luke 1. 32. 33; Rev. i, S, 6; Zech. VI, 13; Gen. xlv, 18; Fa. cx, 1, 4*. While we wait it Is our privilege to suffer with Him and to serve Him in any way or place which He may assign to us, knowing that the glory of His king dom will abundantly recompense for all suffering or service during the little while of waiting. Returning to our lesson In Samuel, we note that, though Saul wag dead, the rule over all Israel did not come to David at once, but in Hebron over Judah for seven years and then in Jerusalem over all Israel and Judah for thirty-three years (chap ter v, 0). We may tinU an analogy In the com ing of the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ when all the kingdoms of this world shall have become His (Rev. si, 13j, and we may then see more dearly the significance of David's three anoint ings. We cannot help noting David's la mentation over Saul and Jonathan, with its thrice repeated "How are the mighty fallen!" (II Sam. i, 19, 26, 27). How he could say that Saul and Jona than were lovely and pleasant in their lives I do not know unlees on the same principle that God did not see iniquity in Jacob nor perverseness in Israel (Num. rxiil, 21), grace covering up tha wrong. We can more easily under stand how David could say of Jona than, "Thy love to me was wonderful, passing the love of women" (1, 26), and thnt leads us to the greatest love that was ever seen or known—the love of God In Christ Jesus to slnnera (Rom. v, 8; John 111, 16; I John 111, 16; iv, 10). See David's habit of inquiring of the Lord concerning guidance In all matters of the kingdom (ii, 1; v, 19, 23; also I Sam. xxlii, 2, 4; xxx, 8), remind ing us of some of the good advice of his son, Solomon, "In all thy ways ac knowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths" (Prov. iii, 0). Although David knew that the king dom was now his, he would not flo anything without tbe Lord's guidance as to when and where. At the Lord's command he went to Hebron with his own and his faithful followers' house holds. end there the men of Jiidali anointed him king over the house of Jndab. See the story of Hebron in connection with Abraham and Isaac and Caleb, and let us learn to live in fellowship with God. David's words to the men of Jabesh-gilead are for us also, that we may be strong and valiant for God (11, 7). The Intervening chapters in our lesson story tell of the opposition to David by the house of Saul, but that David waxed stronger and stronger and the house of Saul weaker and weaker (ill, 1). In our present conflictlt cannot be said that the devil is waxing weaker and weak er, for his greatest effort will be Just before his final overthrow, but in due time he will be overthrown, and Jesus Christ shall reign (Ps. lxxli, 11). After David became king over all Israel It Is written that "David went 'on and grew great (went going and growing—margin), and the Lord God of hosts was with him" (v, 10). That the Lord was with him Is repeated again and again In his story (I Sam. xvl, 18; xviii, 12, 14, 28) and reminds us of this blessed assurance to Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, Gideon and oth ers and of His word to all who go forth in His name as His messengers (Gen. xxvi, 3; xxviii, 15; Ex. 111, 12; Josh, i, 5; Judg. vl, 16; Isa. xll, 10; Hag. 11. 4, 5; Matt, xxviii, 20). The Lord's presence does not insure us freedom from all adversaries, but it does assure us of victory over them. David had to say concerning some with whom he had to deal, "I am this day weak, though anointed king, and these men, the sons of Zernlah, are too hard for me" (ill, 39). Compare Num. xl, 14; I Kings xix, 7; Ps. xxxv, 10; lxxlii, 16, and then thank God that nothing is too hard for Him (Gen. xrill, 14; Jer. xxxli, 17), and roll all cares and burdens upon Him, and trust Him to carry you and them. AH real work for God must be by the Spirit of God, and when He is In control we will fear no mountain nor despise any small things (Zach. Iv). The Proof Conclusive. They had disagreed. They had disagreed about her cook ing. He had sprung the bromide aboul her not being able to cook even as his mother did. Whereupon she asked him. "If that he so how is it that you haven't chrdn ic dyspepsia, as your father bad?" Whereupon they disagreed more thor oughly than ever.—Philadelphia Ledger.
