PLICATION .
Those who rebel against God's
and walk according to their own ca
desires are certain to go astray.
ebildren of Israel were backslidden
had become worldly and proud. Sa
was old and. not "up to date." The
pie demanded a popular leader, one
would command the respect of the
then nations around them. The Lord
greatly displeased at the course
took and at the demands they made,
Ire allover1 them to have their way.
cel called the people together and a
was chosen, and the aged prophet s
ped aside,
Humility was the crowning virtu
the Iife of Santttel and in the early
of Saul, The true Chri;ctian is a lea
person. He is clothed with humility
Pet. 5. 5). Although Samuel saw
the people were weary of his judges
yet he mill did all he could for th
pray for there and giving them fathe
instruction and advice. He did not
tire sullenly and leave them to ti
fate, but like a true man of God
ste,selectd in ng the the. nebreach
nekiz a. It isand osisted
ftengreat a mark of the self life to ref
to do what God and the church ask
to do, as to desire to be put ahead
be made prominent.
Saul's rejeetion came . from vain
causes (I Sans. 15). 1. Me was
obedient. "This was the root of
offense. He was determined to be
king like those of the nations aro
Israel --a despot, untrammeled by c
stitution, and regardless of any hi
g
power. God `wished for Israel a th
emetic king, that is, one who reoogni
himself as the minister of God's will.
was not by the greatness of the act
disobedience so much as by the fact
it that Saul was judged, God foun
him self-willed, rebellious, obstinate, a
therefore he set him aside. The sine.
of to -day is rejected for the same r
sons, whether he be a wicked man or
moralist; he is a rebel against God.
As a result of this sin we find oth
sins cropping out, of which one was va
ity, rearing a monument in his own ho
or. If Saul had been sure that he w
doing right he would have been le
vain -glorious in boasting of it. The ma
who vaunts his own good deeds is ge
erally trying to hide from himself
consciousness of his own guilt. 3. N
tide also the sin of falsehood. He kne
that his declaration was false, and non
the less because it was half true.
half truth is generally the worst of lies
4. We see also the sin of hypocrisy. 11
made the pretence that his disobediene
was only for a pious purpose, The hy is one who uses his religion as
cloak for his own selfish aims, God a
dept; no such sacrifices as those of San
5. Next, the sin of eowardice. 'The peo
ple took!' Saul showed a most un
kingly spirit in following the multitud
in evil. His weakness of will in submit
ting to the crowd when he should hav
ruled it, made it manifest that he w
not fit to wear the crown. Is not Saul'
sin in this respect one prevalent amen
public men and political parties? 6
Lastly, the sin 'of formalism, He mad
religion to cons};( in outward servic
offerings and forms, and ignored tit
weightier matters of the law -right
eousness and obedience to God. In sharp
contrast shines the spirit of Samuel,
shoving: 1, Promptness; an instant
obedience. 2. Courage; the prophet of
God did not fear the king of Israel. 3.
Fidelity,. he was faithful even when
duty was a bitter task. 4, Insight; he
saw the great spiritual principle that
'obedience is better than sacrifice.'"
Lessons from the Iife of Saul. "1, As
God gave Saul great opportunities, and
prepared him for a life which would
make him a better benefactor to his na-
tion and a blessing to the world, so he
gives to every one of us the offer of a
kingdom and large opportunities of use-
fulness and blessing. 2, As before Saul,
so before us there are two diverging
ways, and we must make our own
choice. 3. The great question of our
lives is whether we will obey Gocl or not,
4. Life is full of tests of our character;
it is both a probation and an edLucation.
God bears long witlu us. 5. If we change
in character, ante
a r, our relations to God m
ust
change, The same glorious sun will
warm, cheer, enlighten, invigorate; or
may harden, wither, burn, destroy. 6.
The truly good are not only indignhnt
at sin, but are grieved over sinners and
pray for therm, 7. The worse sinners
are often unconscious of the depth of
their wickedness. 8. King Saul in the
most unkingiy manner, laid the Saul,
of
his sin on the people. So Adam laid the
blame on Eve,"

Fifty-one Protestant Societies at a Mass
Meeting Decide to Petitioxa TUng
ward --Fear Trouble -Text of the
Address Sent to the .T]`in2.1
London, Sept. 14. -Fifty-one Protestant
Societies held a meeting this afternoon
to protest against the street procession
in connection with the Horgan Catholic
Eucharistic Congress, whine is to open
in Westminster Cathedral tomorrow.
It was resolved to petition the Xing
on the subject, and a committee of
three was sent to interview the Secre-
tary of Home Affairs, '.Ilse delegates
sent the following telegram to 400
peers and members of the House of
Commons;
"Fifty-one Protestant societies, assem-
bled in London this afternoon, fearing
that the Roman Catholic procession on
,Sunday= may cause riot and even blood-
shed, earnestly request you to at once
wire the Home Office, asking that the
earrying of the Host znay'be forbidden."
The three deputies who called at the
Home Office saw the tinder-Secretcary,
and presented a copy of the petition
which had been wired to the King. They
asked that it be formally forwarded in
the morning mails.
Following is the address which was
sent to Xing Edward by the Protesta.nt
Federation yesterday against his report-
ed intention to receive the Papal,,,Legete,
and which was followed by the an-
nouncement that His Majesty purposed
being absent at the Doncaster race
meeting:
"Precedents support our contention
as far back as Henry VIII, and Queen
Elizabeth, Soon after the hitter's ac-
cession to the throne the .Pope•`propos-
ed ''to send ri legate on a special
sion to Her Majesty. At a meeting of
Her Majesty's Counsel, held at Green-
wich on May 1, 1501, the matter was
considered, and the Council decided
that by the ancient laws of the realm uuo
legate or nuncion could enter the
country without a license from the
reigning monarch. and that recent
legislation by Parliament had made it
not only against the lair that the
nuncio should cone, but that any per-
son by word or deed should allow his
coming. This law has never been
abrogated, and stands to -day as then."
