that more serious crimes will follow
Officer Leslie had ordered several
negroes who had taken refuge in
box car to surrender, and when they
failed to do so he fired several shots
at the car.
A negro slipped from the car, and,
coming up behind the officer, shot him
through the head. The negro then
fed and within a short time posses
were after him.
About three O'Clock In the after

the fugitive in slaughter-house just

runs through all Scripture, because
it runs through all Providence, that
"the first shall be last. and the last
first" Low valleys are blessed with
broad rivers; the heights are barren
and parched. Gods gifts are given
to the lowly in heart, and his judg-
ments fall "upon all hat is proud
and naughty, and it shall be brought
low,"-"and the Lord alone shall be
exalted in that day." Not once nor
twice in the worlds history have its
deliverers and guides sprung from
the lower classes. "In vain is saliva
ton hoped for from the hills" A
miners son in Thuringia remolds the
church which a princes son on the
papal throne was cOrrupting still
more; a brewer in Huntingdon fash
ions England "into another mold"
And as regards individual salvation,
it is the "meek and lowly in heart"
who come to Jesus and find. rest to
their souls, while "the wise and pru-
dent" have no eyes to see the Light
of light.
The next point brought out by the
choice of David is the true qualifca-
ton for authority. Saul had been
chosen because he met the popular
ideal. His thews and sinews, his
physical strength, which presumably
carried with it courage, marked him
out as a fighting king. That was
what Israel wanted, and they got it,
and found out that it was not what
they needed. Samuel shared in the
popular notion in so far that, when
he saw Eliab, "his countenance" and
"the height of his stature" attracted
him, perhaps because they reminded
him of Saul, and he said, "Surely Je-
hovah's anointed is before him." But
another thought sprang up in his
mind, which he discerned to be some
thing sacreder than it's own answer
to itself,-even Gods voice correct
ing his hasty judgment. And when
the ruddy lad, with his lovely eyes
and gracious youthful beauty, stood
modestly before him, flushed with
haste and wondering why he had been
summoned, the conviction was borne
in on him, "this is he" and he knew
that it was God who was saying so.

LESSON FOR AUGUST 2.
The King After Gods Heart.
BY ALEXANDER MCLAREN. ID.


cast of those between prophet and
king through all Israel's history.
They are but too exact a type of
those between Gods messengers and
the constituted authorities all
through the centuries. They must
have been irksome and dangerous.
Samuel had broken off all intercourse
with Saul, but mourned for him and
for his own bitterly disappointed
hopes in him, and had to move with
circumspection in constant fear of
his life. Saul was in the terrible
position of knowing himself for
saken, or rather of knowing that he
had shaken off the God who had set
him on the throne, and of walking
his unblessed r in a horror of
great darkness; and that conscious
ness dashed his gloomy resolution into
fury, and ultimately into madness.
No doubt, both men had many visit
full memories of the days when they
were in full accord, and vainly looked
across the gulf now opened and ever
widening. Nc wonder, then, that
Samuel shrank from the overt act of
further assault on SauI's now phan-
tom monarchy, to which he was call
ed in amounting a successor. And no
wonder hat the "su~bterfuge," as
critics who know more about books
than about men and their affairs call
it, of going to Bethlehem on the plea
of sacrificing was commanded.
a very little imagination, which
realizes the situation, is all that is
needed in order to ease the very SUI
perfne and impracticable morality
which takes ofense at the "decep-
ton" of cloaking an act which it was
necessary to do, and impossible to do
without some screen. The elders of
the little village among it's pastures
were alarmed by the coming of the
aged prophet, just as today the ap-
pearance of a "Kaimakam" would
terrify the fellaheen. They knew the
weight of Samuels hand, and recog-
nized his authority as still Gods
prophet, and they probably remem
bered how heavily that hand had fall
len on Saul.
He bids them sanctify themselves,
and, for his part, goes straight to
Jesse, and himself performs the
needful Illustrations. It is to be OBJ
served that both the elders and
Jesse's household were invited to
come" to the sacrifice, and that the
rejection of the stalwart sons, and
the amounting of the uneonsidered
youth brought in haste from the pas
lures, took place "when they were
come" 1t may be, then, that in the
statement that it was translated gin
the presence of his brethren" we are
to take brethren" in the wider sense
OF his tribesmen and neighbors. It
may also be noted that the meaning
OF the amounting was not disclosed,
so that perhaps, though the fact was
known, its significance as a designa-
ton to kingship was not recognized.
