M.

B rocks, high places and in pits aud to fi flee over Jordan, while those with H Saul followed him with trembling. It B was sad indeed and a reproach to God B to have His people in such distress, fl but the fault was wholly with them. 9 Let us lay it to heart that when be I levers are cast down or overdue in- fl stead of victorious it Is a reproach to I our (Jod. I Samuel had instructed Saul to wait 1 at Gilgal seven days un*il he should fi come and offer sacrifices &)d show him I what to do (chapter x. Si. Saul waited 1 seven days, but not quite the full time. | and. as be said, forced himself and offered the burnt offering, and Just a* he had finished Samuel came and reproved him and told him that his kingdom would not continue, but that the Lord had sought Him a man after His own heart (chapter sill. 8-l4>. Did you ever wait all but the time that would have brought the person or thins yen expected and then grow restless and Just missed it? If so you can probably sympathize somewhat with Sanl. But next time wait more patiently and the full time. for. thpugh He tarry. He will surely come in the fullness of time, whether it be for some deliverance In your daily life or to the nlr for us all. Jonathan is one of the most beantlfnl of all the characters in the Bible nnrl his lorp fnr Dnvld one of the most beautiful of iuve sturh'S-a ran* mini indeed, seemingly raised up by <]od U> be a true friend and comfort to David. But we shall meet him again In our studies. In our lesson verses be is a real bero and. with his armor beater, starts a wonderful deliverance for Israel. His reliance was on the Lord and his courage most unusual, for what could two men expect to do? He must have remembered Deut xxxii. 30, and the assurance that one should chase a thousand aDd two put/ ten thousand to flight, for hear him encourage his armor bearer with the words. "It may be that the Lord will work for us. for there is no restraint to the Lord to save by many or by few" (verse fl>. It may have been that be thought of the great deliverance by Gideon's three hundred (Judg. vll, 4. 7), j and possibly Asa long afterward was encouraged by the remembrance of Jonathan (11 Chron. xlv, 111. I have been personally strengthened and encouraged by each of these records and expect some day in the kingdom to have good fellowship with Gideon and Jonathan and Asa and lots of others whose records have greatly helped me. Jonathan's helper must have had the same spirit as bis master and greatly helped him with his good words, "Do all that Is In thine heart: behold. I am with thee according to thy heart" (verse 7). Thoy sought guidance of the Lord and received the token they asked for if He would have them go fnrwnrH iverses 10. 12?. so they brave ly scaled the rocks, just these two. and tlie Lord wrought a victory and fought jvlth them by a great earthquake (verses 13-15). When Saul and his men heard of the battle and the noise of victory they, with those who had been In hiding, took p.art in the defeat of the Philistines, and "so the Lord saved Israel that day" (verses 19-23*. The rest of chapter xlv tells of what looks like [ a great mistake of Saul's, which caused much trouble and but for the interference of the people oft behalf of Jonathan might have resulted in his death. Saul had evidently begun to go astray, as shown in his not waiting the full time appointed by Samuel and also in his receiving no answer from God when be asked counsel of Him. When one has ceased to be controlled by God there is 110 knowing what he may do. for if God is not controlling it is the devil. Even In the record of Simon Peter when he testified of our Lord. "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." Jesus said, "My Father who is in heaven revealed that to thee." Id the same chapter it is recorded that .Testis had to say to him. Get thee behind me Satan: thou art an offense unto me. for thou savorest not the things that be of God. but those that be of men" (Matt. xvi. 16,17, 23). The tongue is an unruly member, sometimes blessing and sometimes cursing, but this ought not so to be (Jas. 111. S-10). There is one good thing written of Saul in chapter xiv, 35. He built an altar unto the Lord?his first la nlc-A nrHffnn fhof ha ror. t ULIU. 11 1C5 a IOU HllbbCU liiui, uv uvuiv. ed Israel out of the hands of them that spoiled them, but It Is also written that there was sore war against the Philistines all the days of Saul (verses 48. 52). Contrast chapter vii, 13, "The fcr.nd of the Lord was against the Phi- ^ ??stines all the days of Samuel." It was better for Israel under the rule of Samuel than under Saul, for Samuel was the Lord's representative, while Saul was slven to them in answer to their cry for a king that they might be like other nations.
