LESSON FOR MAY 2
SAUL TRIES TO KILL DAVID.
LESSON TEXT-I Samuel 19:1.12.
GOLDEN TEXT-whoso putteth his
22t fi the Lord shall be safe,-Prov.
Although anointed by Samuel, vic
torious in arms and promoted at court,
David was many years in reaching his
throne. At first both court and army
did him honor (ch. 18:2), yet he con
ducted himself with great modesty
(18:18, 23). Ile also obeyed the king
explicitly though he knew fully that
he was the God-appointed successor
of Saul. Escapes as wonderful and as
providential as David's occur in the
lives of most of us if we could but
know them.
I. David and Jonathin, vv. 1-3. The
story of the love of David and Jona
than is a classic. With such close
family relations and a son-in-law so
successful at arms' it is strange that
Saul's anger should vent itself upon
David. At first Saul was much at
tached to David but the admiration of
the people for David aroused his jeal
ousy, (ch. 18:6) and jealousy is pecu
liarly a soldier's disease. The slave of
jealousy never has peace. As sin and
disobedience developed in his life Saul
became subject to fits of insane rage
during one of which, as David played
upon his harp and endeavored to-quiet
'the monarch's spirit, he hurled a
javelin, which served as his scepter,
at the harpist (ch. 19:10). Saul felt
that David was divinely protected and
he knew that God had departed from
his own life (15:23; 16:14). Saul did
not keep his grief and rage to himself
for Jonathan and the nation alike
knew all about it.
It. Saul and Jonathan, vv. 4-7. It
took courage and self-sacrifice on
Jonathan's part to speak on behalf of
David: Prudence and principle are
combined in Jonathan's plea. Those
who envy include in their hate and
anger all who speak kindly in behalf
of their enemy. But Jonathan's argu
ment (vv. 4, 5) is unanswerable.
David had not sinned against Saul; it
was Jehovah who "wrought a great
salvation for all Israel" 'on the day
David took his life in his hand and
overcame Goliath. Jonathan pleads for
God as well as for his friend. le
called to Saul's memory his former
joy at seeing Jehovah's victory
through David and for the time being
Saul was persuaded (v. 6) and made
another of those impetuous promises
which proved so fleeting. Ushered by
Jonathan (Matt. 5:9) David returned
to Saul's presence, entered once more
upon the discharge of his duties and
desisted only when he saw that his
presence only aggravated the king and
that he was uselessly exposing his life
in Saul's presence. David was faith
ful to God and to God's anointed king,
fii. Michal and David, vv. 8-12.
Saul's hatred was too deep to be per
manently overcome. David went out
and won a great victory over the Phi
listines and as he followed his courtly
duty, Saul burst out with a fresh at
tack (vv. 8, 9). David had married
Michal when about twenty-one years
of age and Saul's attacks occurred dur
ing the next three years. The evil
spirit mentioned was a demon (18:10;
Acts 16:16-18; Mark 1:23-26), a mes
senger of Satan permitted by God for
Saul's discipline (II Cor. 12:7). God
permits evil to come upon men not to
tempt them-solicit them to do wrong
-but to bring them to repentance or
to refine them as pure gold. Thus evil
may be said to do God's work (ch.
4:1) "to be sent from Jehovah."
IV. Summary. All who envy ajre
murderers at heart (Matt, 27:18; I John
3:12, 15). The present day murderers
hurl their javelins of slander, lying
and vituperation against the reputa
tion of the men whom they hate. Or
else they hurl unfair and unjust busi
ness methods at others that they may
perpetuate their power or else build
themselves up upon the ruins of those
whom they envy. Saul missed David
but he was no less a murderer. Satan
always overshoots the mark when he
assails one of God's anointed, chosen
ones. Saul could not harm David
though he wished to ever so muc11
(Ps. 37:32, 33: Isa. 54:17?; Luke 4:30;
10:39). Saul's hatred stopped not even1
at the threshold of David's house bul
invaded the sacred precincts of his
home. Envy is blind, it assails all
that a man has, spares none witti
whom he is connected and colors ev
ery act and relation of life even to the
relations of father and child. Sau
was frustrated by his own children
Jonathan and Michal. David's dangei
was imminent, hence his speedy es
cape.
Men are strong in so far as thel
see God's purpose and discipline Jr
~their lives.
Saul's experience at Naloth (vv. 23
24) was a response of his emotiona
nature to a religious appeal, anothe1
time when God was waiting to bi
gracious.
Divested of his armor and oute:
robes Saul lay in a trance, overcomi
by the power of him who turns thi
he~arte of men as rivers of water.
The wrath of man is made to praisl
him, the life of the prophet is pre
secrved and likewise the life of hil
servant David.

THE CHURCH AS
ASOCIALGENTER
A Broader Sphere for Religion-New
Field for the Rural Church.
By Peter Radford
Lecturer National Farmers' Union
The social duty of the rural church
is as much a part of its obligations
as its spiritual side. In expressing its
social interest, the modern rural
church does not hesitate to claim that
it is expressing a true religious in
stinct and the old-time idea that the
social instincts should be starved
while the spiritual nature was over
fed with solid theological food, is fast
giving way to a broader interpreta
tion of the functions of true religion.
We take our place in the succession
of those who have sought to make the
world a fit habitation for the children
of man when we seek to study and
understand the social duty of the
rural church. The true christian re
ligion is essentially social-its tenets
of faith being love and brotherhood
and fellowship. While following after
righteousness, the church must chal
lenge and seek to reform that social
order in which moral life is ex
pressed. While cherishing ideals of
service, the rural church which cot
tains the fullest measure of success
Is that which enriches as many lives
as it can touch, and in no way can
the church come in as close contact
with its members as through tho
avenue of social functions.
The country town -and the rural
community need a social center. The
chumh need offer no apology for its
ambition to fill this need in the com
munity, if an understanding of its
mission brings this purpose into clear
consciousness. The structure of a
rural community is exceedingly com
plex; it contains many social groups,
each of which has its own center, but
there are many localities which have
but one church and although such
a church cannot command the inter
est of all the people, it is relieved
from the embarrassment of religiously
divided communities.
Social Needs Imperative.
The average country boy, and girl
have very little opportunity for real
enjoyment, and have, as a rule, a
vague conception of the meaning of
pleasure and recreation. It is to fill
this void in the lives of country youth
that the rural church has risen to
the neoessity of providing entertain
ment, as well as instruction, to its
membership among the young. The
children and young people of the
church should meet when religion is
not even mentioned. It has been
found safest for them to meet fre
quently under the direction and care
of the church. To send them into the
world wvith no social training exposes
them to grave perils and to try to
keep them out of the world with no
social privileges is sheer folly. There
is a social nature to both old and
young, but the social requirements of
the young are Imperative. The church
must provide directly or indirectly
some modern equivalent for the husk
ing bee, the quilting bee and the sing
ing schools of the old days. In one
way or another the social instincts
of our young people must have oppor
tunity for expression, which may
take the form of clubs,- parties, pic
nics or other forms of amusement.
One thing is certain, and that is that
the church cannot take away the
dance, the card party and the theatre
unless it can offer in its place a sat
isfying substitute in the form of more
pleasing recreation.
Universal instinct for Play.
In providing for enjoyment the
church uses one of the greatest meth
ods by which human society has de
veloped. Association is never secure
until it is pleasurable; in play the in
stinctive aversion of one person for
another is overcome and the social
mood is fostered. Play is the chief
educational agency in rural commun
ities and in the play-day of human
childhood social sympathy and social
habits are evolved. As individuals
come together in social gatherings,
their viewpoint is broadened, their
ideals are lifted and finally they con
stitute a cultured and refIned society.
It is plain, therefore, that the
church wvhich aims at a perfected so
ciety must use in a refined and ex
alted wvay the essential factors in
socival evolution and must avail itself
of the universal instinct for play.
If the church surrounds itself with
social functions which appeal to the
young among its membership, it will
fill a largo part of the lamentable
gap in rural pleasures and will reap
the richest rewvard by promotinig a
higher and better typo of manhood
and womanhood.
Preservative Fluids In Woods,
Timber engineers who inject creo
sote and other substances into wood
to retard decay long ago made lists of
Sspecies that were hard to treat, and
others which were easy.
The preservative fluids, we are told,
0 penetrate certain woods to a consid
*erable depth when moderate pressure
is applied; while others are almost
impervious, no matter how great the
). pressure. Those hardest to penetrate

upon him-and made remarks tO
the effect that the Lord loves- a
cheerful giver.
The man flatly refused to be
cheerful. "I won't pav a cent,"
he declared stoutly. "Not a
cent. T h a t. preacher hasn't
been to see me this year."
When the matter was report
ed, as such matters are, the
preacher as preachers will, felt
that he had fallen short of the
whole schedule of his duty, and
took the blame upon himself.
But he determined that should
he be spared for another year's
work, he would call often upon
the offended brother, who thus
yearned for his society.
Accordingly he made it con
venient to call four times during
the following year. Still the
man paid nothing, and at the
close of the year the officer of
the church waited upon him
again.
"Not a cent," he declared.
"Not a cent. I've boarded that
preacher and his ,horse enough
to make up my share of his
salary."
