he fall 1 corinthians 10 12 analysis i cotsen to be kinc chaps 811 ii a fatal weakness chaps j3 15 1c 1123 19 912 hi the tracic end chaps 28 and 31 intkoduction saul was tho first of the kings of isra i the days of the judges when every man did that which was right in his own eyes were ended samuel first of the great prophets last of the judges ever soli citous for tho welfare of the people and for their unity in the pure wor ship of jehovah had been startled and displeased by the demand of the elders of israel assembled at ramah that he make them a king had they be come dissatisfied with his govern ment had he not ruled them fairly and justly but the people had no fault to find vith samuel though they did not trut his sons 8 1g 12 1c what they wanted was a strong man to lead their united forces against their philistine oppressors 7 7 when samuel found sau ho be lieved he had found the right man a young man and a goodly and there was not among the children of israel a goodlier person than he 15 2 it was not an easy lesson that samuel the prophet had to learn the lesson that the lord secth not as man seeth for man looketh upon the out ward appearance but tho lord looketh on the heart 16 7 i chosen to be king chaps 811 it seems clear that samuel himself both as prophet and judge did much to preserve the unity of tho great self- governing tribes of israel he was known and trusted by all 3 19 to 4 1 he assembled representatives of the people from time to time for com mon worship and that he might in struct them and exhort them to serve jehovah and not the baals 7 34 5g h held circuit court in cities of west ern palestine 7 1517 the way was thus prepared for th closer union of the tribes in a kingdom it seemed at first to samuel that the demand for a king 8 47 was not only a rejec tion of himself but was disloyalty to jehovah israels true lord and king 8 78 he yielded to their demard but warned the elders that under kingly rule they wuld loso somo of their muchprized freedom and inde pendence 8 1022 the story of samuels meeting with saul chap 9 is well known saul and a servant are seeking his fathers lost asses when they were returning without success the servant propowd a visit to the seer of ramah at k- mah samuel met them sauls goodly appearance attracted him and mevd by the inner voice behold the man samuel invited them to a banquet in the high place made them sit in the chiefest place and gave saul the choicest portion of the meat referred for the most distinguished gueot sauls surprise must have been very great especially wlen the prophet said to him on whom is all the de sire of israel is it not on thee 9 20 rv margin and when on the following morning samuel talked long with him and poured upon his head the holy anointing oil samuels choice was ratified by the people in another popular assembly 10 1724 and yet again after his heroic relief of the besieged city of jabeshgilead by an outburst of approval on the part of the people whom samuel then summoned to tho ancent sanctuary of gilgal that ihey might renew the kingdom there with sacrifices and re joicing 11 1215 sauls reign began well he receiv ed his honors with becoming modesty evidently samuel expected great things of him but at first ho had neither crown nor palace neither court nor army he returned to his fathers house at giebali there were certain worthless fellows sons of belial who said how cor this man save us his opportunity came when following the oxen out of tho field he heard the pitiful appeal of the messengers from jabeshgilead and rallied the men of israel to their rescue chap ii here and in other events of tho earlier years he showed courage energy and resourcefulness he gathered about him israels fight ing men and made them into an army able to meet the philistines on some sort of equality and to hold that dreaded foe in check there is no doubt that he had noble and kingly qualities and was a man of great pos sibilities ii a fatal weakness chap3 13 15 16 li23 19 912 tho first verse of chep 13 is wrong ly translated the hebrew text does not give either the age of saul or the number of years he reigned his reign must have been longer than two years the two stories told of saul in chaps 13 and 15 reveal a serious and in the end fatal weakness in i3 char acter the friendship and wise coun sel of samuel was his from th be ginning but nervous and impatient in a critical moment ho chose to ig nore the prophet to samuel his con duct seemed nothing ies3 than dis obedience to the lord who would have made his kingdom strong and endur ing iii the tracic end chaps 28 and 31 it is a pitiful story that is told in chap 28 of the king who facing the crisis of his fortunes sought the help of samuel now d- d whose help and of samuel now dead whose help and phet lived but he heard no word of comfort or of hope from the spirit of samuel next day with his brave sons he died o the battlefield of mount gjlboa chap 31 thin

what two iettors of tha alphabot are very destructive dk decay by marie aon best article 3 it is always a mystery to overweight people how or why the thin person can bo dissatisfied and wish to add to her weight they see her complacently eating all she wants of the good eats which they consider so delicious with many a pang of envy however there aro underweight people who wish to gain and try as they will they have as much difficulty putting on pound3 as the overweight ha3 in taking them off some thin people eat astonishing amounts exercise llttlo and still re main thin of course these people

appetite but dont go at it so strenu ously thats one of your failings you eat up al the little fat you have in tho nervous energy used then last but not least stretch your stomach gradually by eating

pictures general scott who many times has beon sent by presidents on difficult and delicate diplomatic missions among tho indians told how he first became interested in indian philology more than 10 years ago it wa3 in 1876 he said that i first began to study the american indian as a young officer i liked to be with tho indian scouts ot friendly tribes who on expeditions would travel 10 or 15 miles ahead ot our detachment because by living with them i learned to understand the in dian and what he wants i found that the language of tho plains was not a vocal language at all but a sign language which was common to all tribes east of the rocky mountains and south of the saskat chewan river to old mexico this i found was a rich expressive language which was much older than white mans civilization in america a simple language devoid of all gram mar and parts of speech all expres sions of thought in the intertribal language are expressed by gestures ot the two hands the language is based fundamentally upon limitation of arts and qualities at which i indian is particularly gifted at dis tinguishing there are some 56 indian lan guages in america north ot mexico and more than 300 dialects so when indians met indians with whom thoy could not converse by speech they learned to master a language of signs which was thoroughly understandable to all the indian today ha3 signwods for every modern thing any iddlaa ot the plains can meet an indian ot different dialect and telle fluently with him about airplanes automobiles and radio when the indians of a dozen different dialects
