In the 13th and 14th verses of this chapter we read, “ So Saul died for his transgression which he commit ted against the L ord , even against the word of the L ord , which he kept not, and also for asking counsel of one that had a familiar spirit, to enquire of it; And enquired not of the L ord ; therefore he slew him, and turned the kingdom unto David the son of Jesse.” This is much like life today. Peo ple lose things and another finds them. There is no possibility of re turning them to their owners. David found the kingdom which Saul lost. It is well to remember that sin causes people to lose some things which may never be regained again.
A S ad A d OBJECT: A want ad section of a news paper. LESSON: I have here the want ad sec tion of our newspaper. This is what is called the Lost and Found section. This perhaps is the most useless part of the want ad section because most of the things people lose are never returned to them. Many people put an ad in this section with faint hope that the one who finds it will return the item to them. I call the Lost and Found ad “ a sad ad.” They did not have newspapers in the days of King Saul but he lost some things which he never got back. Saul was a wicked king and he no longer had the Lord’s protection as when he first became king of Israel. In 1 Chronicles 10:2, 3, we read, “ And the Philistines followed haid after Saul, and after his sons . . . and the Phi listines slew . . . the sons of Sard. And the battle went sore against Saul, and the archers hit him, and he was wounded of the archers.” Because of his sin, Saul lost his life. “ Then said Saul to his armour- bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through therewith; lest these . . . come and abuse me. But his armour- bearer would not; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a sword, and fell upon it. So Saul died, and his three sons, and all his house died together” (1 Chr. 10:4,6). Saul lost several things: his king dom, his crown, his sons and his life.
