Is It not tile same today with those who think there Is any benefit In the mere reading of a chapter In tbe Bible, or saying a prayer, or taking tbe com munion. or In any religious formality? Anything tliat Is not real heart deal ing with tbe I.lvln? Ood Is only a~form of superstition. The rblllstlne* were stirred to greut fervor by the cry of their leaders. "Be strong; quit your selves like men and fight" (Virse 9), and the Lord delivered Israel Into their hands so that 30.000 were slain. In cluding Kit's two sons, and the *rk of God was taken (verses 10. 111. Poor old Kit waited with fear and trembling for tidings from tbe battle, and when he heard tbe sad news and that the ark of Cod had been taken be fell off Ills seat backward and broke bis neck and died. He was ninety-eight years old and had Judged Israel forty years (verses 12-18). I think that while outwardly It was a broken neck it may bare been Inwardly a broken heart. In the same day It seems as If Phlne has' wife was also taken away (verse* 10'JSi. ho that a great calamity came to the house of Ell In one day (H, 84). Thus suddenly bare great eventa trans pired again and again, and eo shall It be at tbe end time. ' Tbe story of the ark In the hand* of tbe Philistine* (rba|>ters v and vl) makes us think of Jerusalem, a bur densome atone for all people, and that all that burden tbemeelree with it ahall be cut In pieces iZechr xll. 3). Tbe Philistines found tbe ark a very grtev ons thing to have In their midst, and after a few months tvl 1) they were glad to send It back to Israel. The' story of tbe new cart and tbe two milk cows tied te It with tbetr calvea shut up at borne and tbe cows taking tbe straight way to Betb-Sbemeab. lowing aa tbey went but not turning aalde to; j tbe rlgbt band or to tbe left (vt 7-12), | | la a wonderful record of tbe band of i tbe Lord npon dumb beasts and bring* ! to mind tbe dominion over all abeep! | and oxen, beasts of tbe Held, fowl of tbe sir snd flsh ot tbe sea that haa bad aoine foreshadow Inga all tbe way along, but will be felly aeen when tbe kingdom comee (tV rllL 6-0; Heb. it 8.01. | | The men of Beth Bbemeeh rejoiced greatly to welcome tbe ark. and they offered burnt offerings and sacrifices unto tbe Lord, but tbey made a aad mistake when tbey looked Into th* ark. and tbey auffercd greatly for It As we mid at tbe-beginning of this study. Ibe ark was made to keep tbe boly law of God. which larael could not keep. Tbe blood aprtakled upon tbe merry seat from year to year (Lav. xrii told of tbe demanda of th* law met by a substitute, even Christ, tbe end of tbe law for rlghteooanaas to every one that beOeveth (Bom. x, 4). Life never waa nor could be by the law, which can only bring ue all in guilty before God and la therefor* called the ministration of dsath (Gal. 81. 21; Bom. HC IS; II Cor. IM. T).
