LESSON

LESSON FOR MARCH 14
SAUL GAINS HIS KINGDOM,
LESSON TEXT-—I Samuel, chapter 11.
GOLDEN TEXT-—He that is slow to an-
ger is better than the mighty: and he
that ruleth his spirit, than he ‘that taketh
a city.—Prov, 16:32.
In order to repay Israel's victory un-
der Jepthah, Nahash the Ammonite de-
manded the right eye of those hesieged
in Jabesh in Gilead, knowing that the
left eye would be hid by their shields
and they would thus be incapable of
warfare. For Israel to make any cov-
enant with the’ Ammonites was con
trary to God's commands (Ex. 23:3 $
Deut. 23:3). : :
I. The Cry of Jabesh, vv. 1-3. This
event probably occurred about a month
after the previous lesson. It was a
proud, haughty demand made of these
Israelites. Exhausted and hopeless.
they had offered to become servants in
order to live. So today we frequent-
ly find men willing to compromise
with the world and the devil, who only
hold them in derision and contempt |
(v. 2). Compromising Christians arc
always blind leaders of the blind (Matt.
15:14; 6:22). The demand of Nahash
would also bring reproach upon Israe!
yet this same king afterwards showed
kindness to David (II Samuel 10:2).
History records that Emperor Basi
II actually sent an army eof 14,850
sightless men back to the king of Bul
garia, who died of grief and horror
Il. The Conquest of Ammon, vv. 4
11. Nahash granted the request for
a seven days’ respite. Here was Saul’s,
opportunity—wrongs to be righted and
people to be saved. Saul had held his You will find St Peter was keeping tab
peace since being anointed by Samuel,

and duties (v. 5), for the messengers |

tidings of this insult were told to the
people who lifted up their voices and
wept. (v. 4). The news of this threat-
ened calatity reached Saul’s ears and
his conduct effectually put to silence
those “worthless fellows” who de-
spised him and had brought no pres-
‘ents at his anointing (10:27). Instead
of tears Saul is moved to deeds. Like
Cincinnatus and Israel Putnam, he left
the plow to take up the sword. Saul
did not, in his own strength, under-
of God came upon him” (v. 6 ; See also
Judges 3:10; 11:29; 13:25; Luke 24:
49; Acts 10:38). This moved Saul to
anger, not alone at such an evidence.
of cruelty, but more at the contempt
Nahash had for God and his people.
‘Saul associated himself with Samuel,
the man of God, and summoned the nas
tion of Israel to his side.
The Holy Spirit gave Saul clear as-
surance of a call from God, and he re-
sponded with unquestioned faith
(Rom. 8:31). The people - responded
with great rapidity, for the fear of
God came upon them also. We have
the good news of a better deliverance
from a more subtle foe to proclaim
in the present age. They all resorted
to Bezek, west of the Jordan. Tho
messengers returned bearing a mes-
sage having two meanings (v. 10), and
that helped to keep Nahash ignorant
of Saul’s actions on the other side of
the river. Dividing his army into com-
panies Saul attacked the enemy “in
the morning watch,” and completely
overwhelmed them and put them to
rout. As the Ammonites had refused
to show any mercy, they in turn were
judged unworthy of mercy (v. 11, see
also James 2:13; Matt. 7:2).
Ill. The Crowning of Saul, vv. 12-15,
Saul’s victory so impressed the people
that they demanded to know of Sam: |
uel who it was that had refused him
as king, ‘desiring to put them to death.
Saul showed his wisdom by not peor-

You may take this world as you come
and go,
And you will be sure to find
That fate will square the account she
owes,
Whoever comes out behind.
And all things bad that a man has
done,
By whatsoever induced;
Comes back to meet him one by one,
As the chickens come home to roost
You’ may starve your soul and stint
your heart,,
With the husks of a barren creed;
But Christ will know if: you played
your part, ©
Will know in your hour of need,
And then as you wait for death to
come
What hope can there be deduced;
From a creed alone you will lie there
dumb,
While your chickens come
roost. :

Sow as you will there's a time to reap
For the good and bad as well;
And conscience whether awake or

Is either a Heaven or hell,
And all things bad must take its place
By whatsoever induced;
Comes back to meet you face to face,
As your chickens come home to

Whether you are over or under the sod
The result will be the same,
You’ cannot escape the had of God,
You must bear your sin and shame.

Schmidt sued Jones for slander, al-
leging that Jones had called him ga

Of this time item, Jones’ attorney
made capital, saying scornfully:
‘Why, you haven't got any case, Mr.
Schmidt. If your feetings were so
badly hurt, why didn’t you take action
Six months ago?”
Yeh, I know,” answered Schmidt
easily, “but I neffer saw a hippopota-
mus until two veeks pasdt already.”
During the last G's R. encamp-
ment there was one woman amid the
crowd of spectators on the day of the
parade who made herself conspicuous
by her noisy hurrahs and excited wav-
ing of a flag as the old veterans march-
ed past. One of the . bystanders told
her sharply to shut up.
“Shut up yourself!” she retorted.
“If you had buried two husbands who
served in the war, you would be hur-!
rahing too.”
3 WHAT BABY SAID
The good grocer calls dt their house
every day to get orders. He is good
because he brings candy to the chil-
dren.
A morning or two ago he passed a
few dainty bits to_the baby, who is just
learning to talk.
“What do you say to the man,
dear?” mother said to the recipient,
her heart bent on teaching her chil-
dren politeness. The baby didn’t get
it for a moment, then blurted:
“Has you dot any more ?”’-Ind. News
mitting such a course of action. Many
today refuse God’s divinely appointed
king who will yet be glad to acknowl
edge him (Luke 19:27; Phil. 2:10).
In the next place Saul did not claim
credit for the victory for, said he,
“The Lord hath wrought deliverance |
dn Israel” (v. 13 R. V.). All real vie. |
tories come ‘from God (Ps. 44:4-8; 1
Cor. 15:10). This was the true king- |
ly spirit. Saul reaped the reward of |
his humility, his. forbearance, cour- |
age and activity in the loyalty |
pride of the people. Samuel gla |
shared in the success of Saul and led
the people to Giigal for the crowning
ceremony. This was the pla whera |

Saul had natural and physical char-
acteristics calculated to make him a |
great and useful king—self-restraint, |
modesty, military invention and a ca-
pacity for leadership.
He was shrewd, patient and gener-
ous . |
He thus stood on the threshold of |
his kingdom with the possibilities of |

Fashionable lines have changed so
completely that it is difficult to bring
last year’s costume up to date, éspeci-
allyif it is a tailormade, but here and
there one sees smart new models that
are helpful in this direction. Long jack-
ets can be made into short ones, and
panel pleatings widen a narrow skirt
into modish fullness. Even in the best
‘imported models one still sees the
narrow petticoat topped by a long all
round tunic, and on fussy frocks lacey
petticoats that display their flounces
for several inches, below the dress
skirt, ‘are rather more used than at
jer introduction last year. A dress

charmeuse falls over an undertrim-
ming of net flounces edged with elab-
‘orate jet embroideries which form the
popular scallops at the foot.
