ton of two story frame building.

house and the upper room was used by

room. That evening he started fire
in the upper room and returned to the
store to attend to some business
affairs and to read the daily papers.

by telephone and informed that his
building was on fire; the wires were
kept hot and in very short time a
large number of people had gathered
with buckets to fight the fire but it
had gained such Roadway that moth
ing could be done to save the build
ing and it's contents; the fire fighters
then turned their attention to saving
the store building which they succeed
ed in doing though the two buildings
were only about fourteen feet apart F.;
one side of the store building caught
fire but was soon extinguished. Mr..
Martins loss is heavy one, and we
understand he carried no insurance.

The Philistines In Saul
creased their army Of occupations; and

agricultural implements, etc. - were
terrorized. Sauls army Of three thou

word reached him from the Prophet
Samuel to wait seven days for Sam.
uel's arrival, apparently with the In
tention that the people should thor
oughly feel their impotence and cry
unto the Lord. King Saul waited
seven days, and then, seeing how his
army was dwindling and that Samuel
had not returned, on the seventh day
offered sacrifices without authority.
Just as he had finished the sacrifices,
the Prophet appeared, reproved him
sharply, and told him that because Of
his failure to obey fully, his family
should not be continued as the Lords
representatives In Israel. The king
apologized, and explained that he
thought It necessary to do something
and did the only thing he could think
Of. Very few kings or generals OF! to-
day would do any nearer the Lords
will than did King Saul. Very few
would have apologized to the Prophet
If King Saul had been given further
opportunities, he might gradually have
learned implicit obedience to God; and
yet our next lesson shows that he
again failed along the same lines. 1t
requires many experiences to teach
some Of as complete reliance on the
Lord and full obedience to His every
requirement. Perhaps the Lord wish
ed to teach that any king sitting upon
the typical Throne Of the Lord must
be implicitly obedient, not merely to
the letter Of the Divine command, but
to It's spirit; for Israers kings to a
considerable extent foreshadowed the
Messianic Kingdom. Those who will
be Messiah's joint-heirs must not only
be outwardly obedient, but inwardly
obedient to the spirit Of Gods Law.
Only Priests Might Sacrifice.
King Saul's sacrifice Of burnt offer
ings to the Lord was condemned as a
sin, because God had made a specific
law to the effect that only priests
might sacrifice. The priestly tribe
typically represented the Church-fully
consecrated to God and accepted by
Him. These the Apostle styles the
antitypes, not only of Israers kings,
but also Of Israel's priests. st. Peter
says Of the Church I'm general, and not
Of the clergy In particular, "Ye are a
Royal Priesthood. II Peter 30.

tians sacrifice their present lives, they
