1 Samuel should be made.
I. The People Demand a King (I
Sam. &1-22).
1. Their Reasons <tt. 1-0):
(1) Samuel was Incapacitated by
old age.
(2) The unfaithfulness of his sous
whom he had appointed as his sue-
Atlanta, March 8.—Mrs. Aaa G.
Candler, Sr., wife of the Atlanta soft
drink millionaire ‘ manufacturer, to
day was execrated a t a police court
hearing of having been an occupant
of a “dive,” which charge grew out
of a raid made by the police on an
apartment in a fashionable residential
section here in which Mrs. Candler,
W. J. Stoddard and G. W. Keeling,
business men, were arrested.
The identical chhrge against Keel
ing and Stoddard was also dismissed.
Stoddard, however, was held under
bond of 8300 for violation of the
State prohibition law when he assum
ed responsibility for a small quantity
of whiskey that the police found in
a bottle on a table around which the
three persons had been seated when
the police made the raid.
“I can't see that the result of the
public trial today has left me any
thing to say in addition,” Stoddard
said in a statement after the trial
tike arrests ware made.
Attorney Dorsey, representing Mrs.
Candler, asserted that “Atlanta has
many beautiful dives if this apart
ment, 48 Juniper street, can be class
ed as such.” s ,
Chief Beavers said that he kept
• ' \ 4 *' j **.
the complaint of Mr. Candler secret r said Mrs. Candler's car was at the
because
“I didn’t want to : do any
injuetfee to Mrs. Candler, Mr. Cand
ler or their families. 1 had been ask
ed to kdlp it secret until something
materialised.”
The police official said that after

hereditary.
IS) The desire to be like other na
tions. Since the surrounding nations
had kings as leaders, they wanted a
king who would fight their battles.
2. Samuel's Protest (vv. 6-18). He
took the matter “to the Lord In prayer
and^the Lord instructed him to sol
emnly point out to the people the
meaning of their action.'
(1) The king 4vould make slaves of
their, daughters and make their sons
to serve In his army find do all kinds
self disclosed the details of the mis
erable conspiracy which is back Of
this whole prosecution. The court’s
judgment completely cleared Mrs.
Candler, Mr. Keeling and myself of
any suspicion of misconduct of any
kind whatever.”
The police chief testified that “less
than a month” before the raid
complaint came from the aged mil
lionaire husband, Asa G. Candler, Sr.
of hard work on his farms and In his
house.
(2) He would take their lands, even
those inherited from their fathers, and
give them to his favorite officers and
servants. Not content with that, he
would take the tenth pact of their
produce to give to his favorites.
8. Protest Disregarded (w. 18-20).
Having made up their minds, they de
liberately shut their eyes to the truth
and madly rushed Into the experiment.
II. Saul Chosen as King (I Sam.
9-11).
L The King Pointed Out (9:1-10:16).
Saul was sent to search for his fa
ther's asses that had wandered away.
While on this errand, Samuef found
him and anointed him.' Saul and his
father were acting freely in this mat
ter, yet at the same time God’s pur
pose was being carried out
2. The King Chosen at Mlzpeh
(10:17-27). Saul was chosen because
of his fitness. If they would have a
king, the Lord gave them the one best
fitted for their needs.
(1) A fine physique. Ho woo hood
and shoulders above the rest of the
people.
Forest Adair, well-known realtor,
asked him to take personal charge of
the raid. *
“The chief has testified/’ defense
cousel told- the court, “that Mr. Cand
ler made this complaint to him. Wfc
have let that go in as evidence, al
though it was hearsay. And now we
have the right to know who askec
tKe chief to make this arrest in per
son.

(2) Modesty. (8) Self-control.
Military Instinct
The method of choice was by lot
When the choice *as made, part of
the people enthusiastically cried. “God
save the king." Others mocked and
refused allegiance.
III. The King Confirmed at Gllgat
(I Sam. 11).
Saul took advantage of the great
Victory over the Ammonites to get all
the people to crown him king.
IV. Saul’e Failure (I Sam. 15).
This Is one of the saddest pictures
In all history. T
1. The Command to SauL (w. 1-8).
Ho was commanded to utterly exter
minate the Amalekltes. The reason
assigned was their evil treatment of
Israel after they came up out of Egypt
(Exod. 17:8; Deut 25:17).
1. The Disobedience of Saul (vv.
4-9). The commandment was carried.
_ out only in part Agag, the king, .was
•pared, and the best of tho goods ap
propriated.
8. Saul Rejected by God (w. 10-25)
(1) Samuel cried to God (v. 11).
The news of this disgraceful affair
greatly disturbed Samuel, moving him
\ to cry unto God day and night.
(2) Saul’s hypocritical pretense (w.
15-10). This pretense carried a He
upon Its face. Though disturbed by n
' guilty conscience, he tried to, concili
ate Samuel, but the very bleating of’
the sheep and thfi lowing of the herds
betrayed him. He then tried to put
the blame upon the people.
(3) Samuel rehearses before Saul
God’s dealing with him (vv. 17-23).
Samuel met his hypocrisy by bringing
him to squarely face his sin. God Is
more concerned In having His subjects
render obedience unto His. command
ment than He la for them to offer unto
Him sacrifice.
4. The Judgment Upon Saul (w.
8685). For the presumptuous offering
of the sacrifice, the dynasty passed
from Saul’s bouse, and for this act of
flagrant disobedience, the kingdom
was rent from him. He confessed his
•In and begged Samuel to still honor
him before the elders of tbe people.
Samuel forsook him qnd left him alone
to finffer In disgrace.

“Well,” Chief Beavers replied, “it
was Mr. Forest Adair whom I knew
to be a confidential adviser of Mr.
Candler. I will tell it all. Mr. Adair
called me and said that I would get
a telephone call and I would hear
the name ‘Howell/ and that when I
heard that name 1 would.know that
they were in an Apartment together
I was to investigate and make the
arrest.”
The chief also testified that Mrs.
Candler had been “shadowed” by
Thomas H. Pitt, an employee of Adair
Realty Company.
It was also brought out that Mrs.
Candler was taken to the police sta
tion after she had been identified by
Pitt in the apartment and after he
had demanded that she be treated
“like the rest of them."
None of these defendants testified
% . ~r
and no witnesses were put up in their
behalf!
Police Capt. A. J. Holcombe, who
assisted in the raid, testified that
he had been unable to locate “Mrs.
Kibler,” the landlady of this apart
ment.—- •,
The police head said that when he
reached the apartment he “asked
Mr^ Stoddard how long he had been
going with Mrs. Candler,, and he eall-
ed-me to one side and said:
“‘Chief, she was my stenographer
for six years.' I then asked him:
‘Mr. Stoddard, did your wife ever get
after you about running around with
her?’ and he replied: ‘Wbll, yes,
chief, she has.' ”
‘That’s not true,” Mr. Stoddard
shouted. -
“Isn't that what you said?” the
chief asked.
“No,” Stoddard rejoined'in an an-
-gry tone. “That’s not right, and you
know iFs not right.”
“Yes, it is, too,” the chief insisted.
“You know I wouldn’t lie fdr you or
anybody else. • You also asked me
how long I had known about this, and
when I said that I had known about
it for about one month, you said that
you ‘wished ,1 had tipped you off.’ ”

was taken in the raid and contain-
