His chief concern, in his simplicity, had because he had no suitable gift the seer who mi direct him 0 the straying hed." Little did this 'eountryman, Ssul, imagine that the Seer Samuel, had for him, a cruse of oll to anoint him as the first of Israel. _Around the next corner we turn may await us destiny--or God! edness is sald to be the first ty of humor: certainly it is a that God delights to play upon He seems fond of t- "His mercies are fresh every morn- ing and new every evening." Life is a continuous surprise party for the person who has committed his way unto the Lord. -God's habit is to pro- vide more than eye has seen or ear has heard, or than has entered Into the heart of man. One thing is sure about the Lord's dealings with his children: He is certain to do for them more than they can: ask or think. While their anticipations may not rise above the day's tasks, He has for them vast prizes of charac- ter and service and life. That truth is the first skimming of thé cream of the Saul story. Unexpected king- domg are bestowed while we diligent- ly seek straying stock. - There is sest for dally living in the lesson. Of another sort, of equal per- tinency to our own time, is the mes- sage that God usually calls His great Ones from lowly circumstances.

"It had crossed to see the priv- ilege and powgr of being a peculiar people. It wanted to follow the fash- fon of the nations, and have a king at its head. That was the stubborn contention of the elders when Samuel remonstrated with them, and showed them what it meant to withdraw the kingship of Israel from Jehovah Him- self: they said they wanted to have a king, "like all the nations." Samuel set forth what a king would do to Hea and as one reads his catalogue it seefus clear whence Kip¥n ls © co ng got his "Suffer not the old king." Neverthe Israel would rather be fashionable than right: nations and men go wrong to Mrs. Grundy's mu- sic of "Everybody's doing it!" Before we rail too severely at old Israel departing from its high, strict standards of Theocracy, let us pause for an instant to ask about ourselves in' this present time. Is .our nation turning from 'or toward simple faith and godliness? Are we more keen on the quest after the newest fash- fons and luxuries than we are after sheer and simple righteousnesss? Are our faces or our backs toward 'God's leadership? Nations are in the valley : | of decislo n to-day: the case of Israel points a 7 tial to all truly great leadership. That is why we pray every Sunday in our churches for our rulers; except they are led, they cannot lead. Recently I received a lettér from a friend in a western city, express- ing concern that in these times of shitting leadership and 'of quickened interest in politics, there Is no man who stands unequivocally on a dfs- tinctively Christian platform, with zeal for New Testament righteous- ness as his plea. Why should not a public mat cone out openly with a statement that our times need most of all a return to God, and a fresh obedience to the divine will? A peér- sonal experience of religion, such as came to Saul, is the est equip- ment for Jublie service. * yo first the kingdom of God and His righte- ousness, and all these things shall be added unto you."

There was a dissenting minority who did not endorse the election of the huge and bashful son of Kish. he latter showed qualities of states- manship by retiring into seclusion until the people should come to agreement, Then one of the tribes became threatened by an enemy, and the tidings ran throughout Israel. When Saul heard the news he proved his kingship by his can-ship: never Was he more regal than in that hour, For he had that essential quality Of greatness, a capacity for indigna- tion. Like the veriform appendix, this characteristic becomes trophied in some politicians. * But of Israel's first'king we read, when he had heard of the shameful proposal of the Am- monites to the men of Jabesh, "The Bpirit of God came mightily upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger was kindled greatly."
