! liar case. Disturbance Of King
The Philistines in Sdu.
creased their army of occupation; ana
the Israelites- unarmed, except with
agricultural implements, etc. - were
1 terrorized. Saul's army of three thou
sand dwindled to six hundred; yet
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
vet our next lesson shows that he
again failed along the same lines. 1t
requires many experiences to teach
some of us 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 its spirit; for Israeps 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 Sauls sacrifice of burnt offer
lngs to the Lord was condemned as a
sin, because God had made a specific
r 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
, antiques, not only Of Israeps kings
: but also Of Israels priests. st. Peter
says of the Church In general, and not
!. of the clergy in particular, Eye are
!. Royal Priesthood. Il Peter 30
All Gods consecrated people are
prospective kings and sacrificing
priests. Unless these sanity Chris
tians sacrifice their present lives, they

proof 90,
The Bible recognizes no division OF
Gods people into clergy and laity.
This was a snare of the Adversary, in.
roduced gradually IN the third and
fourth centuries The Bible teaching
is that all spirit begotten children Of
God are members of the antitypical
Royal Priesthood all brethren, all au-
thorlzed to preach Gods Word.
Craving a Second Chance.
Daily the Christian has repeated
chances Of repentance of sin and of
making fresh start, through the mer-
It of Christ. King Saul had no such
experience; he had only the arrange
ment common to all Jews-the typical
Atonemcnt Day, atoning for the ma
TONS sins for whole year. Being
himself partly a type, King Saul was
necessarily dealt with along lines or
strict Justice, and the kingdom declar-
ed forfeited by his family because OF
his orreriug sacrifice not authorized
Our lesson proceeds to tell the story
Of how Jonathan and his armor-bearer
blessed &c 'ho Lord, were victorious
over their enemies.

MAKE AGRICULTURAL SURVEY
Director of Farm Markets Plans to
Gather Statistics in Idaho

Boise Statesman: Circular letters
for use in making an agricultural sur
vey of Idaho have been prepared by
the farm markets director of the
state and will be sent out within the
next few days. From the answers re-
ceived to them the market director
hopes to be able to compile some ac-
curate statistics with regard to farm
ing conditions in the state.
The letters are to be sent to indi-
viduals in every farming community
and to the manager Of all the active
irrigated projects in the state. Blanks
will be enclosed on which they will
be asked to enter production figures
for their districts, specifying the kind
of crops produced and the prospective
yields. Weekly reports are to be
mailed to the market director.
Information will also be asked from
each community as to the transporta-
ton facilities, markets available, and
general conditions existing.
The market director has obtained a
mailing list which includes several
people in each district to be covered
by the survey. All of them will be
asked to send in the information, so |
that should one fail, there will still be |
an excellent chance that the Stats
les may come in.
