PARK, West End G1r1 VLLE, SOUTH- CAROLINA 0LE~SSON (By. E. 0. E IR, Acting Director of Sunday School Course, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, Ill.) LESSON FOR MAY 16 DAVID SPARES SAUL. LESSON TEXT-I Samuel 26:5-16. GOLDEN TEXT-Love your enemies, do good to them that hato you.-Luke 6:27. Professor Beecher gives 1065 B. C. as the date of this lesson and the death of Samuel. Saul had been on the throne 37 years and David was twenty-seven years of age. There are ten famous episodes between the les son of last week and that of today. (1) David and the shew-bread; (2) Goliath's sword; (3) David feigns madness (ch. 21); (4) The cave of Adullam; (5) His care of his par ents; (6) The killing of the priests (ch. 22); (7) Wandering in the wil derness (cl. 23); (8) The cutting of Saul's robe (ch. 24); (9) Nabal's churl ishness, and (10) Abigail's kindness (ch. 25). It might be well to have one scholar give a summary of each of these events. I. David and Ablshal, vv. 6-7. Once before, the Ziphites had- In formed Saul as to David's whereabouts (23:19). Learning that Saul evident ly Intended to follow him into the wil derness (v. 4), David sent spies to learn the exact location of Saul and the 3,000 men under command of Ab ner. Abner was a cousin of Saul, a brave man with a remarkable history. Unwittingly they had placed them selves In David's power, and that for a second time (24:3-8). Like the camp of the Midianites which Gideon visited., Saul and his men were scat tered about sleeping "within the place of the wagons" (v. 5 R. V.), with Saul In the center, the spear marking his resting place and the bolster beneath his head. Doubtless Saul trusted Ab ner's protection, but no arm of flesh can save or protect a sinful man. From a neighboring rock David and his friends could distinguish the spear and the outlines of the camp. David's challenge was directed to both of his companions. Ahimelech, the Hittite, declined the summons, whereas Abi shal, David's nephew who had already proved himself in the affair at the well (11 Samuel 23:13-16) and later be came a leading figure in David's king dom, accepted the challenge. 11. David and Saul, vv. 8-12.-Abishal was quite right that - God had deliv ered Saul into David's hand (v. 8), but he was wrong in his conclusion as to what that meant. God delivered Saul that he might, if possible, save him. It was a challenge that tested David's magnanimity, his sense of honor and also an event wherein he could appeal to Saul's honor. Abishal's anger is evident from his words, "I will not smite him the second time." There was ample provocation, but David rec ognized in this experience the hand of God, nor would he profit by an other's hand upraised "against the Lord's anointed" (v. 9). A conscience less keen could have found an excuse for allowing another to strike a blow to his own profit. Saul was rejected of Jehovah, yet David preferred to let Jehovah execute his own decrees (ch. 24:15 cf. Ps. 105:15). Ill. David and Abner, vv. 13-16. Returning to his vantage point, doubtless the brow of a hill on the opposite side of the valley, a point of safety, David awakened the sleep ing camp. Abner replied, "Who art thou?" This cry sounds strangely like the present-day replies to the chal lenge of our David when a sleeping camp of sin is aroused. This call came at night. When our King shall return his visit will be unexpected and at night (I Thess. 5:2-4; Rev. 16:15). It would seem like a humiliation for this proud, haughty general, Abner, to be taunted by Davidt (v. 15). As chief officer he was responsible for the king's safety and his life. David therefore might wvell reproach and chide him, for his lack of fidelity was worthy of death. When Saul was thoroughly awake to the fact of David's visit to his camp and the fact that his life had been spared, he was moved to another one of his moments of repentance (vv. 17-21). lV. The Result, vv. 17-25.-David's address to Saul, is a remarkable one. He first appeals to reason (v. 18) and desires to know what, if any, fault he has committed. He next challenges the motives which impelled Saul. Was It God wvho sent him on this journey or was it the evil counsel of men (v. 19)? If this latter then let God deal with them according to their just deserts. And, finally, David uses the two similes of a flea and p par tridge as evidence of his humility, his inoffensiveness, his harmlessness (Luke 14:11). Every sinner who fights against God and against his anointed ones "playn the fool" and will sooner or later, like Saul, awaken to the fact that he has "erredl exceedingly." David did not undertake his own de liverance and "the Lord delivered him out of all his troubles" (v. 24; Ps. 18). David's last message to Saul as lie bade them to send for his spear was a declaration of Innocence and a prayer that God would give him safety even as Saul's life had been spared. Saul's final word was a blessing and a prophecy of David's ultimate tri umph.

He was a good boy and loved by all who knew him. How sad is the thought that he is gone, although we know he is free from care, while we In Zrief are marching on. Sweet Doyle, how we miss youl We miss you in our Sun day school, we miss you in our liome. It seems that we can not wait to see his smiling face. His precious body was laid to rest the day following his death in the Mile Creek cemetery. All that we can do is to pray for Zrace and higher power that we may meet in the sweet bye and bye. His smiling face we see no more, The voice we loved is stilled, A place is vacant in our home That never can be filled. MorER.
