At the present time there are (
11,000,000 men in the armed ,
forces.
The secret of getting along:
with rationing is not so much
trying to get what one wants a
wanting what one gets.
Some folks are willing to be as
patriotic as any one as long as it
doesn’t require them to make
any sacrificies, sutler any incon
veniences, or give up anything
they are accustomed to in nor
mal times.
The tragic mess we made of
finishing the job alter the last
war must not be repeated. In
the last war the boys won the
victory and the diplomats and |
the nation’s representatives lost I
the peace.

Every day the newspapers
ontain the account of some one
who has met death by drowning
because of his inability to swim.
Every parent should see to it
that Ins children know how to
swim. Thousands of lives could
be saved each year if every
young person were taught to
swim. It doesn’t require much
instruction to teach a boy or
girl how (o swim. A few lessons
aie oftirnes sufficient. Such a
precaution may spare the par
ents a tragic experience, made
more tragic by the realizatio
that a little time spent in teach
ing the child to swim might have
saved a life,

One of the reasons for the
shortage of automobile tires is
that too many car owners are
not having their tires recapped
when they should. Too many
car owners put oil' recapping un
til it is too late and the tire is
too far gone to recap. There is
little doubt but that if every car
owner had recapped his tires
when they needed it we would ;
not today be faced with a condi- 1
tion where thousands of c n own-1
ers cannot use their cars because
there isn’t enough to go around.
In limes like the present it is noi
only a smart thing t<> recap tires
but a patriotic duty. No man
whose car is tied up because ot
lack of tires who has not before
they were too far gone had his
tires recapped a time or two, has
any just complaint because his
board is unable to grant his ap
plication for new tires.
A lot of plans for the post war
world are going to be made over
when the boys come back. We
have no fear of any changes the
boys will make in the scheme oi 1
things. We think they will be'
able to think straight and act di
rectly. They will have a patriot
ic concept that many who have 1
thought only of wages and hours
and time and a half don’t know
anything about. We are willing
to take chances with the country
in their hands after the war just
the same as we have fe i safe
with its be 'ease in their hands.
The Civil Aeronautics Admin
istration has a post war plan for
building some 2,900 “air parks”
over the nation where private
pilots can land their planes. In
view of the fact that airp n
travel both by transport com
panies and individuals is going to
become quite common after the
war the plan is a foresighted
one. it may prevent the prob
lem of conjestion that the auto- [
mobile has brought to our cries
b.cause no one foresaw the need
of adequate parking space.

DAVID ANOINTED KING
j LESSON TEXT—I Samuel 18:1-5, 11-18.
GOLDEN TEXT—Man looketh on the out
ward appearance, but the Lord looketh on
the heart.—l Samuel 16:7.
| Outward appearance, by which
man judges, is almost always de
ceptive. God knows the heart and is
able to evaluate a man correctly.
In calling David, the ruddy shepherd
boy, to be king, God cut across the
ideas of men, but He was, as al
ways, right.
I. A Man from God’s Storehouse
(v. 1)—“I have provided.”
God’s great storehouses are full
of blessings, material and spirit
ual, but. He also has a great and
constantly replenished reserve of
men and women from which He
calls and sends them forth. The
thing we must guard against is the
1 setting of hindrances in His holy
j way, either in our own lives or in
j the lives of others,
j A man power shortage is very
' serious, for it simply cuts off the
i stream of production without which
action becomes impossible. There
should never be any shortage of
man power in the Lord’s work, and
there would never be any if all His
creation were willingly subject to
Him.
God was ready to set aside Saul,
and He had David ready. Samuel
the prophet was still grieving over
Saul’s failure. In a sense that feel
ing for Saul was most commend
able, but it could not go on.
When men, even of our own fami
lies or circle of friends, persist in
rebellion against the Lord, we
; must not let our grief hold us back,
s but move on with the man of God’s
i choice.
11. A Man Who Had to Be Sought
j (vv. 2-5) —“Send and fetch him.”
Usually those who are quick to
offer themselves for an important
place are not the ones for the place.
And those who are sitting around
doing nothing but waiting for some
honor to come to thorn, are not the
ones to choose.
“Let the office seek the man” is
the highst ground, even in politics;
surely it must be the proper proce
dure in spiritual activity.
David might well have wanted to
be at the place of sacrifice and the
feast that day, but since all his
family were there, and someone
had to care for the sheep, he did it.
A man like that, hard at his work,
is well worth seeking when some-
I thing important needs to be done.
The interesting story of Samuel’s
effort to find one among Jesse’s
seven sons (vv. 6-10) is well worth
reading. Samuel still had the idea
that a king must be prepossessing
and able to thrill men by his ap
pearance. Ho should have learned
better from his experience with
Saul.
God put him right (v. 7), and we
do well to renew our thinking on
that point. The world is in a place
where many leaders must be
chosen in the months and years just
ahead. Will we be eager and
willing to have God lead us in our
choice? Or will we be swayed by
personal interests or political expe
diency?
111. A Man of Spiritr.ality (vv.
11-13)—“The Spirit of the Lord
i came upon David.”
The Holy Spirit, ever active in
all periods of Bible history, became
the abiding presence in the be
i liever’s heart after Pentecost, but
during the Old Testament period
He came on chosen individuals for
a particular work. As David was
anointed king the Spirit came upon
him for that service. In spite of his
failings (when he forgot the Lord)
David was throughout his reign a
spiritually-minded man who wanted
God's will and His glory to be
uppermost.
God never calls a man without
enabling him for his task, and the
chief and indispensable enabling is
! that of the Holy Spirit’s power. Like
David, we may enter upon a God
appointed responsibility without
| fear or question, simply trusting
the Holy Spirit to take, transform,
empower, and use us for God’s
; glory.
IV. A Man Willing to Serve (vv
14-18).
Upon Saul there came tre
mendous moods of despondency.
These wore “from the Lord” (v. 14)
in the sense that God permitted His
disobedient and rejected servant to
suffer the result of his self-will and
failure. How awful it is for anyone
to be out of the will of God and
conscious of His disapproval.
To help Saul in those dark hours
David, the sweet singer of Israel,
was willing to serve with his voice
and his harp. How many thou
sands of times David has served all
the generations since with his
psalms. He was a man of gifts,
gladly given for the Lord and for
others.
Bear in mind that while David
was not yet publicly crowned, he
was already anointed to be king.
! Yet he was ready to serve the one
whose place he was to take even in
his hours of dejection and hateful
. ill-will.
