"Tim Ixrd said unto him. Heboid the man!" All prophets, priests and klnjrx in Israel were as to their olllin .not tlicir cliar- acterl tvpea of the jrivatost prophet I l'rlc-it-lviiig, Jesus of Nazareth; am nnd true and as wo rend of this first kinr chosen to reign over Israel and hear the words: "Heboid the man," wo nre at once carried forward to a day when tho tbwl of Samuel and of Israel stixxl in human form before the jxsiiile for their acceptance or rejection, and the Komaii Governor said : "Heboid the mini! Heboid i,i,f l.'iiore I.Tnl.n ,iv K 1J ho, I nil iwtin-li then and still rej.i-t.il lie slinll yet sit ou the throne. if linvi.l ami reign overthe house or Jacob forever ami tho people shall I hi nil righteous. (Luke I.. :J. ftl: lsn . Ix.. SI.) It. "Tell me, I pray thee, where the seer's house Is." A prophet wax Is'f. .re time cnllisl a seer (v. II;) that Is otiewnn sissntiut nnlur al eves cannot see. Haul nud hi servant had civen up seeking tho nsn-s and were now seeking the man of Ood if ix-rchnuco hn might tell them where the lost nniinals might be loiind; and a they .Mine near to the city certain young tnniilcus going out of theclty to irraw watr inform them thut the seer is Just before them haviiigconie to thecity that any, linn that there is a sacritice m the tnii place (vs. U-IU), so Saul stands face to face w itii tne mnn he socks, tint Know in,; mat Daimiel vxix-ctcd him. 11). "I am the seer." Hon- like this is to the renlv of Jesus to tlie woman nt the well ami to tho blind man: "I that six-ak unto thee aill He." "It Is Ho that talketh with thee." (John lv.. lit!; U.. 37.1 "Yo shall eat with mo to-day." How surprised ho must ha 'v been; a much so, fierhiip, nsZaechous. will onlv wkhUhI to sis Jesus, but was called down from the tree to receive liiui into his house. 50. "Set not thy mind on them; for they are found." If we would consult Him who is crfcct in knowledge mid is always with us (Job. x xx vl., 4) wo would more readily ilnd our lost things. 51. "A Henjamlte, smallest of the tribe, my family the least of II the fnmiltes." Henjiimin, siiuo tho slaughter of Judg. xx., 4W, was literally tho smallest of the trilx-s in jxiiut of num bers, and It may havo Ixvii in the same re spect that Haul's family was also tho least, for his father is said in verse 1 to havo been u inlghty man of x)wer or substance. "Ho Suul did not cat with Samuel tluit dny." What a day of surprises for Haul! Samuel exports him, ssnks to him of a high place In Israel, invites him to a fixist, gives him tho chief place at the feast, mid tlie chief portion of the feast, a portion spis-lally reserv.il for him, while all that Saul had iii view w hen lie came to Samuel was thnt ho might recover tho lust asses of liis father. How many people nre to-day intent upon earthly things, thinking of ln'ilhing higher, while there Uu teat and a kingdom and great honor awaiting thorn, of winch they aro utterly ignorant. S5. ".Samuel commune! with Saul upon the top of the house." This wax after the feast when they were come down from tho high place into the city, mid Saul and Samuel weroulono. We nre not l. l t i'i ignorance a to tho subject of their convei -atinii, forchup tor x., IH, implies that tho communion wu concerning the kingdom. S. "Up, that I may send tlieo nwny." So spuko Samuel to Saul, very early next innii'V lug. Just as tho three nKstles hnd soon i J como down from tho Mount of Transfigura tion where they would fain havo remaiiied, o Haul must go forth from this holy place and return to tnko up for a little season the oriliuary affairs of life. Though by faith in Christ Jesus wo are now chili hen of (txl uud Joint heirs with Christ, sent.sl with Christ in the huuveiillueM iKoui. viii., 17; Kph. ii., 0); yet wo must go forth .lav by luy into the or dinary affair of life, tliero to glorify Uod while we wait for tho kingdom. S7. "Stand thou still a while, that I may show thee th Word of Uod." Tho servant was told to pass on and thus Biuuunl aud Haul were again alone with toil. Suuiuel then annouited him Captain or 1'rlnce (It. V.) overthe Lord's inheritance, foretold four events which should come to pass t hat day, and gave him certain commands until he should see him again and shew him what to do. The events foretold that morning, ull of which come to puss that duy (chap, x., V). tiiach me that as I lxgln each now day, all tho event of the day, all tho puople 1 shall meet and all they shall say to inn, are all forokuowu to U.xl and for.tx-n by llim, and therefore it becomes me to Ixi still ami know that He is U.xl, and thut He U making all thing work together for my gixxl (l1, xivi., 10; Iloui. viU.. tfii.
