The surrounding na­ tions had n king as leader. They wanted a king who would go out and fight their battles (see v. 20). The de­ sire to be like others causes many to*; depart from the Lord. 2. •Samuel’s “behavior under this trial (w. 0-9), He.took the matter to the Lord in prayer. The Lord com­ forted him by assuring him that this rejection was not merely bis rejee- tlon, but the rejection of the king­ ship of God. * II.

Saul was sent by his ^father to search for* the asses that had wan­ dered away.

Why Salt! was chosen. ■If they* would hqve a king the Lord would give them the one best suited to fill the place. He was from Benjamin, a small tribe, which would prevent un­ due rivalry between Ephraim and Judah, the leading tribes of Israel. He was also chpsen because of his personal fitness (v. 24). He had tl e natural qualifications for his work, . namely, self-control, modesty, and" a military Instinct. - - 2, How Raul was chosen, The math*; od was by lot, .Samuel called themj together before the J wd, aod before» tits lot was cast he again remonstrat­ ed with them against such action. He showed them the base Ingratitude of their rejection of God as their King. 8 . How the king was received by the people. Raul knew that the Lord had chosen him, but through modesty and fear he shrank from the respon­ sibility. By Inquiry of the Lord his hiding place was made known. When he was brought forth Samuel present­ ed him to the people, assuring them that Saql was the Lord's choice. Some were enthusiastic*^ their re­ ception and shouted, "God save the klngl" Others mocked and refused; him allegiance. j VI, The King Confirmed at Gllgal (ch, 11 ). I Boon after the election at Mizpeh I the Ammonites made a desperate de- j mand upon the men of Jabesh-gllead. Saul hearing of it, hastily summoned the tribes together for war and won a remarkable victory. As he thus proved Ms ability the people wished to.punish the sons of Belial, but Saul forbade them. Samuel took advan­ tage of this auspicious situation and called all the people together at GH- gul where they formally crowned him their king. » ■ 1*1 Rotten Weather Since Easter Is going to make conditions possible for clothing buyers to buy any part of our entire stock of Hart, Schaffner and Marx, Fashion Park arid Clothcraft all wool, hand tailored high grade Suits, Top Coats, Rain Coats, Odd Trousers Boys’ and Children’s Clothing Including all washable clothing for children at 20% No Reservations O ff W e are making a Sacrifce Growth.
