LESSON FOR MAY 16 DAVID SPARES SAUL. LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 26:5-l«. GOLDEN TEXT—Love your enemies, do good to them that bote you.—Luke 6:27, Professor Beecher gives 1065 B. C. as thq date of this lesson and the death, of Samuel, Saul had been on the throne 67 years and. David was ' twenty-seven years of age. There are ten famous episodes between the les­ son of last week and that of today. (1) David and the shew-bread; (2) Goliath’s sword; (3) David feigns madness (ch, 21); (4) The cave of Adullam; (6) His, care of his pan ents; (6> The killing of the priests (ch. 22) ,* (7) Wandering In the wil­ derness (Ch. 23); (8) The cutting of Saul’s robe (ch. 24); (9) Nabal’s churl­ ishness, and (10) Abigail’s kindness (ch. 25), It might he well to have one scholar give a summary of eachof these events, . I. David and Ablshal, w . 5-7.— Once before, the Ziphltes had In­ formed Saul as to David’s whereabouts (23:19),- Learning that Saul evident­ ly Intended to follow him Into the wil­ derness (v, 4), David sent spies to learn the exact location of Saul and the 3,000 men under command of Ab­ ner. Abner waB a cousin of Saul, a brave man with a remarkable history, Unwittingly they had placed them­ selves" In David’s power, and that for a second time (24:3-8). Like the camp of the Mldianites which Gideon visited, Saul and his men were scat­ tered about sleeping “within the place of the wagons” ,(v. 5 R. V.), with Saul in the center, the spear marking his resting place and the bolster beneath hiB head, Doubtless Saul trusted Ab­ ner’s protection, but no arm of flesh can save or protect's sinful man. From a neighboring rock David and hi# friends could distinguish the spea. and",the outlines of the camp. David's challenge was directed to both of hi® companions. Ahimelech, the Hitlh , declined the summons, whereas Aul- . she!, David’s nephew who had already proved himself In the affair at the well (II Samuel 23:13-16) and Jaterbe­ came a leading figure In David’s king­ dom, accepted the challenge. II. pavld and Saul,W. 8*12.—Ablshal was quite right.that God had deliv- ered Saul into David’s hand (v. 8), but he was wrong In his conclusion as to what that meant' God delivered Saul. : that he might, If possible,, save him. It was a challenge that tested David's magnanimity, hta sense of honpr and also an eventwherein he could appeal to Saul’# honafi; Ablshal’a auger Is 4tom,Jhfa..,'Kj*n3|..,% will not smite him the secDadfime," Tu m ■ . was ample provocation, but David rec­ ognized In this experience the hand of God, hor would he profit by an­ other’s hand upraised “against the Lord’s anointed” (v, 9). A conscience less keen could have found, an excuse for allowing another to strike a blow to his own profit gajil was relucted of Jehovah, yet David preferred to let Jehovah execute his own decrees (ch. 24:15 cr. PS. 105:15), - Ilf. David and Abner, w. 13-1(5,-— Returning to hi# vantage point, doubtless the brow of a hill on the opposite side of the valley, a point of safety, David awakened the sleep­ ing camp. Abner replied, “Who art thou1!’ This crysounds strangelylike this present-day replies to the chal­ lenge of onr David when a sleeping camp of sin. Is aroused. This call Came at night When1our King shall return his visit will be unexpected and at night (I Theta. 5:2-4; Rev. 16:15). It would seem like a humiliation for this proud, haughtygeneral, Abner, to be taunted by David (v. 15)., As chief officer he was responsible for the king’s safety and his life. David therefore might well reproach and chide him, for his lack of fidelity was worthy of death. When Saul was thoroughly awa’:e to. the fact of David’s visit to his camp and the fact that his life had been apared, he was moved to another one of his moments of repentance (vr. 17-31). IV. The Result, w . 17-25.—David’s address to Saul, is a remarkable one. He first appeals to reason (v. 18) and desires to know What, If any, fault he has committed. He next challenges the motives which Impelled Saul. Was It God who sent him on this journey or was It the evfl counsel of men (v. 19)7 If this latter then let God deal with them according to ♦heir just deserts. And, finally, David uses the two similes of a flea and . par­ tridge as evidence ot his hujnUlty, his inoffensiveness, his harmlessness (Luke I4;ii). Every sinnerwho fights against Gad and against his anointed ones “plays the fool” and will, sooner or later, like Saul, awaken to the fact that he has “erred exceedingly.” David did not undertake his own de­ liverance and “the Lord delivered him OUt of all his troubles” (V. 24; Pa. 18), David’s last message to Saul as he bade them to send for his spear was a declaration of innocence and a prayer that God would give him safety even as Saul's life had been spared. Saul's final wordwas a blessing and a prophecy of David's ultimate tri- jtrnph. Enjoying Ufa.

Stamp collecting is a peculiar but a fascinating hobby, and it is said that aa many aa 9,000,000 in all the world own it as a hobby. Ger­ many, France, Austria and England' rank iq thq order named in the number of stamp collectors they contain. . “ The elephant’s beak hoax” is one of the best jokes ever placed at the expense o f collectors. It was worked on a’ half dozen well known philatelists who Were astonished by' the announcemer that a weft known New York stamp collector had secured the oply copy of a pe­ culiar stamp later known as “ the elephant stamp bill-” This stamp bore as its central design the figure of an elephant with the beak and wings of a bird. This stamp, so the story went, was designed by a well known South American revolutionist who was about to overthrow the existing regime. The design on .the stamp was meant to designate that the new ruler had the strength pf an elephant and the swiftness of abird. But alas for the plans of mice and men I His plot was discovered, and among the supplies seizedwere 500,- 000 of the stamps of the new and yet unborn republic. These were ordered destroyed. One of the sol­ diers had managed to .sihuggle about a hundred of these .away, but he was finally caught^ aqd shot at daybreak,. • Before his execution, however, he had given npe stamp to a little boy, and this had in some very reasonable and plausible way found the New York collector after many months. The stamp was naturally of great price and would have brought a big sum had not several collectors com­ pared notes and' found that each had in his possession on approval the only elephant bill stamp in ex­ istence. In this way the interesting hoax ' was discovered.—Ne\fr York Mail. „ , • ' Th* Cop* to Celr© Road, For picturesque variety and ro­ mantic appeal of tho. panoramas running like double cmematograpli films past the car windows, the groat African trunk line can never know a rival.
