seated on his throne, attended by officers OF
the court. In front of Saul stood the
prophet Samuel, holding in his hand a
heavy broad sword, as if about to carve the
King Of the Amalekites. Agsg, as king,
had headed the Amalekite rebellion. The
Lord had directed Saul to destroy the en-
tire tribe, King and all; but when Saul
had overcome the tribe his purpose
of arnihilation weakened, and he spared
the life of Agag. Samuel was stein
and dut;ful, 81 loyal that he knew
nothing OF compromise and amnesty. IL
the name of the Lord he rebuked Saul,
and had Agag brought before him. The
Scripture says "Agag came unto him
delcately." 1t is certain that he did not so
depart for the text makes Samuel say: LAS
thy sword hath made women chidless, 50
shall thy mother be childless among
women" And Samuel hewed Agag in
pieces before the Lord in Gilgal." The
speech was sho:t, the action decisive. The
figures, costumes, groupings and attitudes
made an effective picture.
