MiU. * In order to repay Israel's victory un der-Jepthah, Nabaab the Ammonite de manded the right eye of thoee bealeged In Jabeah in Ollead. knowing that the left eye would be bid by their eb|elda and they would tbua be Incapable of warfare. For laraal to make any cov enant with the Ammgnttes waa con trary to Qod'a commanda (Ex. Skill; Dent 11:3). i I. The Cry of Jabeah, w. 1-1- Thle eveat probably ooourred about a month after the pravloua lesson. It was a proud, haughty demand made of these Israelites. Exhausted and hopeless, they had offered to become servants In order to live. Bo today we frequent ly find men willing to compromise with the world and the devil, who only hold them In derision and- contempt (v. 1). Compromising Christian* are always blind leader* of thf blind (Matt It: 14; 6:12). The demand of Nahasb would also bring reproach upon larael. yet this same king afterwards showed kindness to David (II Samuel 10:1). History records that Emperor Basil II aothally sent an army of 14,860 sightless men back to the king of Bul garia, who died of grist and horror at the sight. II. The Conqueet 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 hie peace since being anointed by Samuel, employing bis time In everyday toll and duties (v. 6), for the messengers did not find Saul at boms Idle. Ths tidings of this Insult were told to the people who lifted up their voices and wept. (v. 4). The news of this threat ened calamity 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 Clnclnnatos and Israel Putnam, he left the plow to take up the sword. Saul did not. In his own strength, under take to relieve Jabesh, for "the Spirit of God came upon him" (v. ? ; see also Judges 2:10; 11:20; 13:26; Luke 24: 40; Acts 10:28). This moved Saul to anger, not alone at such an evidence of cruelty, but more at the contempt Nahash had for Qod and his people. Saul associated himself with Samuel, the man of God, and summoned the na tion of Israel to his side. He not only challenged the people, but threatened to execute their oxen In like manner If they .failed to obey (v. 7). The Holy Spirit gave Saul clear as surance of a call from God. and be re sponded with unquestioned faith (Rom. 8:2i). The people responded with great rapidity, for the fear of Ood came upon them also. We have the good news of a better deliverance from a more subtle foe to proclaim In tbe present age. They all resorted to Bexek, west of the Jordan. The messengers returned bearing a mes sage having two meanings' (v. 10), and that helped to keea Nahash Ignorant of Saul's actions on the other side of tbe river. Dividing bis army into com panies Saul attacked the enemy "In tbe morning watch," and completely, overwhelmed them and put tbem 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). III. Th# Crowning of 8aul, w. 12-15. Saul's victory so Impressed the peoplp that they demanded to know of Sam uel who It was that had refused him as king, desiring to put tbem to death'. Saul showed bis wisdom by not per mitting such a course of action. Many today refuse God's divinely appointed king who will yet be glad to acknowl edge him (Luke 18:27; Phil. 2:10). In the next place 8aul did not claim credit for the victory for, said he. "The Lord hatb wrought deliverance In Israel" (v. 12 R. V.). All real vic tories come from God (Ps. 44:4-2; I Cor. 15:10). This was the true king ly spirit Saul reaped the reward of his hpmlllty, his forbearahce, cour age and activity In the loyalty and pride of the people. Samuel gladly shared In tbe success of Saul and led the people to Gllgal for the crowning ceremony. This was the place where Israel had first encamped under the leadership of Joshua and where the twelve atones from the river had been set up as a testimony to God's real presence and deliverance. Surely this wis a suggestive place for Saul to receive his. crown and be ratified as king for all' real vloG *ies are by God's help and Should be acknowledged by sacrifices and peace offerings upon his r I tars.

A lieutenant, warned by telephone, waa expecting me. In a penetrating whlaper he aaid: "Hint! they're only fifteen me ter* off." I aooo reached a faggot hedge, and peeping through, with th* aid of a fleld-glaaa, I could dlatlngulah a heap of freah aoll ahead. It waa the Oerman trencbea "Don't look too long," *ald the lieu tanant. "or a bullet will whip that perlacope from your hand. What we'd Ilka to know 1a whether they're 'bad boy*' or 'good boya'" By "bad boya" he meant the Prua ?Ian*, who fling grenade*, bomb*, or mlnenwerfer ahella morning, noon., and night; and by "good boya." th* Saxon*, who are lazier, and leave u* In peace for hour* at a atretch.

In the valley below How glorious th* lit*! He (topped. We never moved a muscle. Then from the trench oppo site came the concluding couplet, whis tled in the same key: El da let's so wunderschorn. Da moecht' Ich Jaeger selnl How glorious tlis life I With the huntsmen you knowl I could hardly believe my ears. At my side a soldier exclaimed: "Look, I there's a German. That's the first we've seen alive since the war be gan." "Hold your tongue! Do you want to be bombarded?" This from the lieu tenant. "Heavens!" pursued the soldier, whom artillery had made deaf, "there's a couple, one with a green cap and something shining on It." With my glass I could easily see two German heads Just appearing above their parapet of earth?a sharp shooter and a Bavarian infantryman. They saw the blue kepi of our im pudent "ptou-plou." In genial tones tbey called out. " 'n Morgen Kama rade." (Good morning, comrade.) Then other heads appeared. 1 counted five;' one belonged to an officer. This seemed to be the psychological moment to get a useful and curious record. So I handed the lieutenant the camera and he held It above the trench and cried out "Photographlren?" "Ja, Ja," called back the Germans, whose round faces broke into a broad smile. I quickly scaled our trench, and get ting possession of the kodak I stretched myself flat on the loose soil and focuaaed the German trench. "Click," and with a salute to the en emy I dropped back into .the trench, lust as a cheery "Dagk" came across the intervening space. They seemed quite happy. One of them went ao far aa to throw ua 4 packet of clgarettea. A bough a topped It. and Inatantljr a Oerman came out of hie trench, apparently with the ob ject of picking It up and handing It to ua. But the lieutenant, with a grim emlle, pointed g revolver at him; the Teuton returned, and the clgarettea atayed where they were.
