The Beginning of the Kingdom
SAMTTEL ANOINTED SAUL TO BE FIRST KING OF ISRAEL
> Scripture?I Samuel 9-11. *
ny NEWMAN CAMTBELL
"Some are born groat; snmr
achieve greatness; anil somo have
greatness t h r u s t upon them,"
wrote William Shakespeare.
As we look about us. t e realize
how tni'- that saving of the great
dramatist is. We reeall the men
w ho have achieved greatness after
stiuggle, and those who have had
it thrust upoh them. How many
of these la't named have justified
their position in the world?
We ran think of men like the
late Adolf Hitler and fienito Mus
solini, who achieved great power
ir> their countries only to wreck
those who trusted them, and came
themselves to a tragic end. There
have been many others through
out history.
An'l there was Saul, who truly
had greatness "thrust upon him."
hut Who, through self-will and
tli..oliediener to .Jehovah's com
mands, also came to a s:uj end.
Our ler.on today is the story of
his rise.
Saul was the son of Kish of the
tribe of Benjamin. He was "a
of oil upon Saul's head, kissed
him, and told him he did it "be
nause the Lord hath anointed thee
to be captain over His inheri
tance."
Then Samuel told Saul what to
expect on his homeward journey,
of the men he would meet, what
they would all do and say, and
that Saul "shall be turned into
another man."
It all happened as Samuel had
prophesied, and it is too bad that
there is not space to relate it all,
but it may be read in the Bible.
When Samuel had first told Saul
of the honor coming to him. he,
like Gideon, in a previous lesson,
protested that he was of an hum
ble family and a small tribe, ao
why was he chosen before others ?
"And Samuel called the people
unto the Lord at Mizpeh. He re
minded them again of how Jeho
vah had saved them from the
harsh but mighty Egyptians, and
had brought them to a land of
plenty, and how they had insisted
that they have a king, so, said
| Samuel, "Sec ye him whom the ?

sole, hi cause it liath pleased Jehovah to make you a people unto
Himself?I Samuel 12 22. ,
choice young man, and a goodly;
and there was not among the chil
dren of Israel a goodlier person
than he: from his shoulders and
upward he was higher than any
of the people."
A fine, tall, strong man is al
ways admired in every age.
Kisli's asses were lost, so he
sent this fine son with a servant
' to find them The two wandered
through the land, but did not find
tjiat Which they sought Finally,
Saul Suggested that they go
home, or his father would be wor
rying about them.
The servant, however, said that
a seer lived in Itamah. and as
they were near that city, it would
be a good idea to consult, him
Saul said it was customary to
takfc a serr a gift and he had
none. However, the servant pro
duced a silver roin, so they went
to the city and asked for Samuel
They were told where to find

Jehovah told him that here was
the man lie was to make the first
king of Israel. Samuel took the
men into the house, had them
seated at. dinner, and gave Saul
the choicest of the food
Samuel told Saul that the two
werp to stay there that night, and
not to worry about the asses be
cause thr,y had been found. In the
morning, he would let them go.
and tell Saul what "is in thine
heart."
Morning came and the three
started out, but when they came
, near the end of the city, Samuel
told Saul to scud his servant
' ahead. Then Samuel poured a vial
Lord hath chosen, that there is
none like him among all the peo- ?
pie? And all the people shouted,
aa^i said, God save the king."
Samuel told the people the
manner of the kingdom and
wrote it in a book, and then he
sent all the people home, and Saul -
also returned to Gtbeah, "with a
band of men whose hearts God
I had touched."
There were, of course, some
"children of Belial" who said,
'Plow shall this man save us?
And they despised him, and
brought him no presents. But he
held his peace." Wise Saul.
Samuel, now that he had given
the people a king, made a speech
in which he reminded them of his
years of work for their good, and
ended by giving them a word Of
hope, saying, "Gnly fear the Lord,
and serve Him in truth with all
your heart; for consider how
great things He hath done for
you.
"But if ye shall still do wicked
ly. ye shall he consumed, both ye
and your king."
After Saul had reigned for on*
year, the Philistines again mobi
lized to launch an attack on the
Israelites Saul gathered his peo
ple about him, but they had no
shuths in the land because the
Philistines were afraid to have "
them make swords or speara
However, every man sharpened
his share, and his coulters (a cut
ter on a plow), and his forks and
axes and goads to guide the oxen.
For the account of the battle (
we must wait for next week's les
son. ?

SYMBOL OF SAFEfy
You never mistake the meaning of
a Church spire.
Even to those who are cold to the
ideals for which the Church stands,
that finger of faith always points to
. something that is comforting, reassur
ing, safe.
The very presence of a Church,
whether in a crowded city street or on
a quiet country road, is a benediction
to all, including those who are not con
scious of worship.
Such an influence, with what it
means to those who open their hearts
to truth, is worthy of a second'thought.
It merits acceptance as a refuge. It
commands confidence as a port in time
of storm.
The Church deserves your sup
port?your membership?because it
affords real protection for the family
whose welfare it is your duty to de
fend and whose proper upbringing is
your solemn obligation.
