with his consclcncc which cndcd only
with the coming of da "lIght and thc

All night long hc fought the battle.
In. his heart. lIe feU uncasy and ,
tro lbled at the thought of ass liming
the prlcstl ) ' function and olTerlng the
sacrlficcs which It was lawful only
for the priest to o ITer. But on thc
othcr hand , he arguetl , here w ro thc
desperate cXlgencles of the situation ,
and4lwliat was to bc done ? And a
king was he not over and above aH
othcrs In thc kingdom ? Who was there
to dare call Into question his acts ?
Had not Samuel fallcd him ? 'Vh '
need hc longer walt on him ? In fnct ,
all dcpended upon lu'omlt action ,
Thus reasoning In thc prldo and conceit -
ceit of his own heart , he forgot to
count God in as a vital factor to suc.
ccss. He remcmbercd not that It was
safer to walt on God evcn to the very
brink of seeming misfortune than it
was to plunge forward trusting cn-

God and exa1led his OWn position be-
forc the peoplc , so that it secmed at
least to him that his position and
authorlt ' were at stakc , and that the
whole wclfare of thc nation centered
around his dcclslve action.
TIllis It came to pass that wIth the
coming togethcr of the remnant of
his arm ) ' on the following morning
Saul was prepared with proud a d
willful spirit to make the olTerlngs
which thc people brought beforc 111m.
With punctilious carc Saul pore

thc peopo } as though he would blcss

figurc that causcs him to start and
tremble. At the samc moment thc
Ieoplo catch sight of the ncw comcr ,
and observing the familiar form , UIO '
shout :
"Samucl has come ! "
"SafilUcl ! " arc thc fallcrln ! ; words
which drop from Saul's paling lips ,
and hc struggles to gain control of
hlmsclf. Hc steps forward and sa.
lutes thc prophet deforentlally , but
Samuel , with an imperious gesture ,
stops him , and In stern toncs demands -
mands :
"What hast thou done ? "
"Bccauso that I saw that the pco.
