Lesson VI.?Third Quarter, For Aug. 9, 1908. THE INTERNATIONAL SEF.IE3. Text of the Lesson, I Sam. xvit, 38-49. Memory Verses, 48, 49?Golden Text, Pa. xi, 1-^-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. (Copyright. 1908, by American Press Association.] "We saw in last week's lesson that after David had been anointed in the midst of his brethren with oil by Sam uel and with the Holy Spirit by God he returned to his flocks. Saul, being troubled by an evil spirit by God's permission, for if the truth is rejected God allows delusion to take us (II Thess. II, 10, 11). was recommended by his servants to employ one who could play skillfully on the harp to quiet and spothe him. David, the son of Jesse, was mentioned as a suitable man. He was sent for and 'came, and Saul loved him greatly, and he became his armor bearer, and God gave him success in driving away the evil spirit (rvi, 114-23). After this David returned again to feed his father's sheep at Bethlehem (xvii. 15), and doubtless he cared for the sheep Just as cheerfully as he waited on Saul, perhaps more so, jfor there would not be as much of God In the atmosphere of Saul's home as out In the fields with the sheep, but this spirit of being just as willing to keep sheep as to serve a king, or vice versa, is the great thing. "For any manner of service wholly at Thy com mandment" (I Chron. xxviii. 21). While David is thus employed In the quiet home life, being fitted by communion" with Hod for grenter things, like Moses at Midiau. or Paul in Arabia, or John the Baptist in the wilderness, or Jesus at Nazareth, the Philistines gather their armies against Israel, and the two armies are face to face in battle array with a valley between them. Day by day their champion comes forth In bis strength, crying: "I defy the armies of Israel this day. Give me a man that we may fight together." And so It continued moming and even ing for forty days (verses 10, 18). Although Saul was head and shoul ders taller than an ordinary man, Go liath towered away above hlra. and. as ? it was man against man and God was left out, both Saul and all Israel were dismayed and greatly afraid, and when the men of Israel saw the man they fled from him (verses 11. 24). The three eldest of Divid's brethren were in Saul's army, aud while this state of things continued Jesse one day sent David to carry some home food to his brethren and to see bow they fared. As he talked with his brethren and asked them of their welfare Goliath came forth and in his customary style defied the armies of Israel, and David heard him and saw Israel flee before 'him. All his soul is stirred as be hears this blasphemer defy the armies of the living God. and as he sees the re proach rostiug on Israel because of him be asks. "What shall be done to the man that killeth this Philistine and taketh away, the reproach from Israel?" His eldest brother heard him and was angry with him and roeused him of pride and haughtiness of heart and of leaving his sheep to come down to see the battle. It is more gratifying to the flesh to talk back, but a soft answer is God's way. Saul,-Is told of David and his words, and so he sent for him. To Saul's greap amazement. David offers to go odxand fight Goliath and tells how God enabled him to kill both a l.'on and a bear as he kept his father's sheep, and he was sure that the same Lord would give him victory over this Philistine. In a very flippant way. as I understand It. Saul said, "Go, and the Lord be with thee" (verse 37). It founds somewhat like some of the "God bless you's" that we hear. Words from the heart carry a biessing. but mere lip words are idle. What a sight David must have been with Saul's armor on, but he was soon rid of it, for. as he said, be bad not proved It We can only use in the service of our Lord aud in our conflict with the devil that which we have proved In our own personal experience, and the proving In private Is often a quulifica tion for a more public experience With bis staff and his sling uud live smooth stones in his scrip, be went forth to meet the great God defying adversary, but conscious rbat he was God's man and seeking only the honor of Jehovah he could say. as he did say, "I come In the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied," "that all the earth 'may know that there Is a God In Israel and all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear, for the battle is the Lord's" (verses 45-47). What zeal for God! What splendid confidence in Him! What forgetfulness of self and of people! Gazed upon in wonder by the many thousands of Is rael and with scorn and derision by the giant and the vast multitude who relied upon him as their champion, be went forth calmly and fearlessly, with no thought but that God might be glorified. Goliath cursed him and said that he would give his flesh to the birds and to the beasts, but David hastened and ran to meet him. and. taking a stone from his bag. he slung it with unerring aim In the name and in the power of Jehovah, and It sank into the giant's forehead, and he fell upon his face to the earth Then he ran again, and, taking the gi::nt's sword out of its sheath, be stood upon him and cut off his head and brought it to Jerusalem and put his armor in his tent (verses 50-54).
