Lesson III.?Third Quarter, For July 19,1908. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, I Sam. xii, 1-5, 13 25?Memory Verses, 23, 24?Golden Text, I Sam. xii, 24?Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copvright, 1909, by American Press Association.] As in the gospel of John, we had to keep before us the great truth that ? the gospel was written in order that people might receive Jesus Christ as the Son of God and thus have life through Him. So in all the Israel story we must see a people whom God redeemed to Himself to make Him a name in the eyes' of all nations?a peo ple in themselves utterly sinful and yet for whom He wrought as He never had done for any other nation. As we think of their perverseness and His long suffering and unchanging love and then think of ourselves, so much like Israel, and consider how great things He has done for us (verse 24), we must cry out. "Oh, magnify the,Lord with me and let us exalt Hl3 name to gether" (Ts. xxxiv. 3). Why did He choose Israel, the fewest of all peo ple, to be a special people unto Him self above all people od the earth? The answer given is. "Because the Lord loved you" (Deut. vii. 6-S). In all that He did for them He wrought not for their sakes. but for His holy name's sake, that they and others through them might know the Lord (Ezek. xxxvi. 22. 32, 3S; xxxyit 2S). His great desire for our oneness with Him now that we may live in Him and He in us is that the world may believe and know Him in whom alone is life eternal (John xvii. 21. 23). Saul bad returned to his home, to his father's flock and herds, and one day tidings came that the Ammonites were threatening Jabesh-gilead. The Spirit of God came upon Saul. At his call all Israel gathered to him as one man, and the enemy was scattered, for the Lord wrought salvation in Israel. Then S::muel gathered the peo ple to Gllgal (which signifies reproach rolled away. Josh. v. 9). and they re newed the king 'om, making Saul king there before the Lord (see chapter xi). Samuel then rehearsed matters to them, reminding them of all the right eous acts of the Lord toward them and their fathers and that though the Lord was their king they had rejected Him and asked for an earthly king like other nations. The Lord had borne with them and granted them a king, as they had desired, and he now stood, before them, having just been honored of God to defeat their enemies, the Ammonites. , Samuel appeals to them earnestly to turn now to the Lor^ and serve Him in truth with all the heart, considering all that He had done for them, assuring them that notwith standing all their sin the Lord will not forsake them for His .great name's ? sake if they will only truly ser*'e Him. The same Jehovah is today seeking those.who will worship Him in spirit and in truth and serve Him as the Living God (John iv, 23; Thess. 1. 10). Could we demand from people who have a clear conscience such a search ing as Samuel asked for, and would there be any prospect of our get ting a similar 'testimony? (Verses 8, 4.) From childhood to old age he had walked before them and before God, and they found nothing against him. Truly a remarkable man of God was Samuel. See bis association with Moses as a mighty intercessor in Jer. xv. L From verse 13 of our lesson learn that since God granted such peo ple their desire, bow much more will He fulfill the desire of them that fear Him (Ps. cxlv. 19). The words in verse 13. "Behold the King. ? * * behold the Lord," make us think of the day when the Lord stood before Pilate as a man, as. a malefactor, as one to whose charge they laid things He knew not. and Pilate said. "Behold your King." and they cried. "We have no king but Caesar." The same people were re jecting the same Jehovah and are re jecting Him still. Comparing verses 14, 20. 24, we learn that when we fear the Lord we need fear no one else, and from Isa. li. 12. 13. we learn that If ve fear men we are forgetting God. The command Is ever upon us to be obedient and to continue following the Lord our God. It Is the word in John 1 and xxi and elsewhere. See Isa. 1, 19; Hos. vi. 3; Josh. xiv. 8. 9. 14. Fol lowing Him means seeing "Jesus only" and running with patience looking un to Him (Mark ix. S; Heb. xii. I. 2). He is the God who alone can send thunder awl lightning and rain as He pleases. He thundereth marvelously with His voice and directeth the light ning and dceth great things which we cannot comprehend (Job. xxxvii, 1-5). He made heaven and earth, and there is nothing too wonderful for Him (.ler. xxxii, IT). When they asked Samuel to pray for them he said: "God forbid that I should sin against the Lord in ceasing to pray for you (verse 19). Samuel saying "I will teach you the good and the right way" (verse 23.? re minds us of the words of Ts. xxxii, S; Isa. xlvlii, IT, and many more. We are also reminded of the prayer in Ps. xxvii, 11, and if Israel had only been j sincere in their request for prayer in 1 Jer. xlii, 2, 3, it would have been a ! splendid request, but see their deceit I and self will in Jer. xllll, 2. Those j are searching words, "If I regard ini quity in my heart the Lord will not j hear me" (Ps. Ixvi, IS). The ^vords in verse 22, "The Lord will not forsake ITIs people." remind us of He!1 xlii, 3, "He hath said. I will never leave thee nor forsake thee." Notice.
