3 Internatlonal Sunday School Lesson For August 17 SAUL—A MAN OF GREAT ABIL ITIES WHO FAILED 1 Samuel 9:15-27: 10:1; 19:9-12; 28:31 » > Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D. k Character study is always of In terest. Opposites In qualities are In all of us. The strife between good and evil was especially marked In Saul, who had everything in his favor at th e start but mads a most Ignominious ending. The few verses indicated above are merely sugges tive. Read all' in 1 Samuel from chapter eight to the end of that book. Samuel had been the repre- of Jehovah among the Israelites but the people, for the sake of being in style with the sur rounding nations, wanted a king. Everyone who has lost something valuable can enter into the spirit of the search for the asses of Klsh. Saul the son was sent out with a servant and the, hireling might have made a far better king. This young man suggests approach to Samuel, the man who Is on speaking terms ■vfrith God. and meets each objection that Saul puts forth. There are many interesting details about the sacrifice that is booked for that day and how the tender morsels of meat are «set before the young man who is enroute' to the kingship. The anointing the next day is in private but a formal induction into, office takes place at Gllgal. The modest lad is found among the bHggage when he is sought, for at the time of the casting of lots. But that is the last commendable trait tlrat can be indicated. He cer tainly mude good in his first battle under, the favor of the Lord,* but the people soon had reason to change from shouting to groaning. When the Philistines came with their challenge which was voiced by Goliath the giant, Saul was ready to promise a reward to anyone who would kill the boaster, but did not suggest that the honor of trying be accorded to him. David was the victor and the breach between the men started when the maidens, after the victory, sang that Saul had slain his thousands and David tens W-h-e-w-o!

Jealousy was the un doing of thi s man who had so much in the midst of which to b e both happy and thankful. Meljt/i. holy was a custom with the 'tlngj Instead of snapping-out of it, as we would say to-day, he sought to be soothed as David harped for him. Big heart anger was seeking for mastery at the same time, for already Saul "eyed David" In his miserable jealousy. Anyone that cultivates jealousy is nursing a monster into growth and the out come may be # murder such as Saul attempted when he hurled his jave- lin e at David. """ Two> specific sins must he noted in approaching the downfall. Both weFe acts of dlrdct disobedience One was in the nature of impatience. David was assured of victory against the Philistines at Mlchmash but ht was told to wait until Samuel came with a sacrifice unto the Lord. Saul could'not be patient beyond a week and then sought to offer his own burnt and peace sacrifices. Sentence was pronounced against htmi for this. • Again when going against the Amelekites, the king was told not to take any spoil for a triumphal procession. Instead of obeying he saved Agag and much for a feast in which he expected to be acclaimed the victor. Then Samuel declared another profound truth which is equally good for us all to-day: "Be hold, to obey Is better than sacri fice, and to hearken than the fat of ram*." The end came at the battle of Mount fillboa when the Philistines were the victors. •* Saul wanted to be killed by his armor bearer who refused. Then the king lgnomlnl ously took his own life when he fell forward on hl 8 sword. Saul might have developed true greatness but he would not. The Golden Text has its most significant les sons for all: "Wherefore let him thrft thinkith he standeth take heed lest he fall," 1 Corinthions 10:12.
