select a king to rule over them,-to
lead them in battle, and Judge them in
times of peace. Though demurring,
and trying to dissuade the people from
their purpose, the prophet yielded, and
king was chosen, even such king as
the people desired. When he had
fought great battle and won magni-
ficent victory, delivering portion OF
the people from a grievous impending
peril, he was crowned in the midst of
national rejoicing.
But it soon developed that the new
king was self-willed, stubborn, full of
greed and vanity, and careless alike
of the peoples good or the glory of
God. And when he fought another
great battle. overcoming the invete-
rate and immemorial foes of his peo-
pie, he deliberately disobeyed God,
in order to crafty his own ambition.
For this disobedience, he was rejec-
ted from being king. The old prophet
was directed to annoint another ruler
in his stead, and being divinely guild
ed, he Amounted shepherd lad, the
youngest of large family of boys.
Afterward we find this lad, while
visiting the army where his brothers
were serving, fighting and killing a
great giant of whom every one was
afraid, and becoming armor bearer to
the king. The king became jealous of
his young officer and tried to kill HON.
Through the intercession of the kings
son, between whom and the young
captain strong friendship had grown
up, reconciliation was brought about
and marriage between him and the
kings daughter was consumated.
Soon afterward, however, the king,
whose mind was unbalanced at times,
again became enraged at his son-in-
law, and he was driven away from
home, and his wife was given to anoth-
err man. For seven years he was hunt
ed as relentleSSly as any Wild beast
was ever hunted, and there was no
longer hiding place in all the land.
On more than one occasion, the fug-
tive could have slain his pursurer, but
with the fear of God in his heart, he
refrained from lifting his hand against
the Lords Amounted, believing that
when the proper time came, the Lord
would remove him. He also respect
ed the civil law of the land, even
though it sorely oppressed him.
In process Of time the prophet died.
When an immense army of invasion
had entered the most fertile region in
his dominions, the unhappy king vainly
sought guidance from above. But the

ment, no king and no ruler. They
were separated into tribes, yet had a
common language and a common and
peculiar worship. They were mono
theistic in religion, utterly repudiat-
ing the gods of the nations around
them. They were not a warlike peo-
pie, yet on occasions, when a, portion
of their people became oppressed, they
would unite and drive out the oppres-
sors. But as soon as the danger was
over they resumed their tribal rela-
lions, with no tie to bind them togeth-

We find these people coming togeth-

be called up from the grave. But there
was nothing but despair in the mes
sage from the dead mans lips. Know

death for himself and his sons was in

by his own hand everything was lost.
When the outlawed officer, who was
then in a foreign land, heard of the
death of his former master,-his dead
ly foe,-he made no effort to profit by
it until he had sought divine guidance.
For more than seven years he had
waited for the promise, yet he would
not take it till the Lord had spoken.
And even then, the promise was but
half fulfilled; another wait of seven
years was still before him. At last,
however, in the fullness of time. in the
prime of a vigorous manhood. chast-

tages built and some business houses
will also be constructed.
New cottages numbering 16 or
more will go up on the west side of
