Lesson V.--Third Quarter, For Aug. 2, 1908. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text <rf the Lesson/ I 8am. xvi, 1-13. armory Verses, 11, 12?Golden Text, I Sam. xvi, 7?Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. [Copyright, 1908, by American Press Association.J When the Lord told Samuel that Saul could no longer be lung it grieved/him ao that be cried unto the Lord all night, and. although he went to see h?m no more, he continued to mourn for him (chapter zv, 11, 35); hence the opening words of our lesson chapter, "How long wilt thou mourn for Saul seeing I have rejected him from reignr ing over Israel?" It is well to remind ourselves that the cause of Saul's be ? > lug rejected by the Lord was his re jection of the word of the Lord <xv, . 23, 26). for in these days the word of the Lord Is being rejected by many - who still profess to be His friends, but It cannot be. for those who reject or even question the word of God are in the service of Him whose first record ed utterance was, "Yea. hath God said" (Gen. ill, 1). There are inany also who. like Samuel, seem to side more with the Sauls than with the Lord. Matt, xii, 30. is a searching word. "He that Is not with me is against me." and we must stand whole heartedly with Him' for every word the Spirit has written, receiving it, holding It fast, rightly dividing It and holding it forth (Jas. i; Tit 1: II Tim. Ii; Phil. Ii). To be on the Lord's side means to stand wltb Him against even the nearest and dearest as Levi did. for only thus can we turn people away from iniquity (Ex. xxxli, 26-29; MaL 1 IL 4-6). "Fill thine horn with oil and go; 1 will send thee, * ? * for I have provid ed me a king." These words carry us back to that great name "Jehovab jlreh" (Gen. xxli, 24). The Lord will see or provide, and He who provided the lamb has also provided a king who shall sit on the throne of David and t reign over the bouse of Jacob forever. The Lamb and the King shall be seen to be one and the same, for when John was told that the lion of Judah bad prevailed to break tbe seals and open the book be looked and beheld a iamb as it had been slain (Rev. v, 5. 6). Thinking of tbe Lord seeing and pro viding leads me to say that I find a lot of comfort in the name of that well by which the Lord comforted Hagar (Gen. xvi, 14, margin). "The well of Him that llveth and seetb me." "We are reminded also of our Lord's word, "Your Heavenly Father know eth what things ye have need of" (Matt. vi. 32?. Samuel seems to be a little out of fellowship, for his "How can I go? Saul will kill me" (verse 2), does not sound like prompt and hearty obedi ence. Possibly his "continued "mourn ing for the rejected Saul was the cause of It. The Lord graciously and patiently gave him a commission which Included tbe former and dispelled his fears. Docibtless this was the Lord's original intention, but Samuel got in his question of fear before the Lord had finished His commission. Now It Is all plain, and Samuel has only to - do that which tbe Lord spake (verse 4). and he did iL Jesse'and seven of his sons came to meet Samuel, wbo bad been looking so long at a tall, fine look ing man, Saul, that when be set eyes upon Eliab. whose countenance and height made him conspicuous, he said. "Surely tbe Lord's anointed is before Him"" (verses &'7h:i^'^e*tfce:Xdrd>ff message, "1 have refused him, for tbe Lord seeth not as man seetb. for man looketb on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketb on tbe heart" What a word for us to keep In mind la connection with I Cor. L 26-20! We will need it as long as we continue la these/mortal - bodies?not tbe outward of form or figure, of height or coun tenance, of eloquence or oratory, or anything that tbe merely natural man is apt to consider, but tbe attitude of the heart toward God. They said of the great apostle Paul that while bis letters were weighty and powerful, his bodily presence was weak and his speech contemptible (11 Cor. x. 10) As the seven sons passed before Sam uel the word came again and again. 'The Lord hath not chosen this." What a great and comforting truth it Is that when a sinner comes to Christ for sal vation no^ one Is ever refused, reject ed or cast out! (John vt 37.) Samuel is perplexed, for the Lord had said that He had provided a king from among the sons of Jesse, so he asks If all are here and Is informed that the youngest keepetb the sheep at home. Everything stopped till be was sent for, and as be came the Lord said to Samuel. "Arise, anoint him. for this is he" (verse 12). He, too, bad a beautiful countenance, so that need not be a hindrance, but he had a heart that was right with God back of It My heart rejoices in this story of the boy who was left at b~me when all the rest went to meet the prophet be ing the one whom God had chosen. Eest assured, O young man or youag woman, that If your heart is right with God the one thing to do is Just what you are now doing, whether it be help ing mother in the home or father on the farm or in the store or office or workshop, and when the Lord wants you elsewhere He will unmistakably call you. Run not before Him. He that belleveth shall not ni?ke haste. David is now anointed in the midst of his brethren. The Spirit of the Lord came specially upon him from that (ay forward (verse 13).
