O SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Rise and Fall of Hebrew Monarchy Illustrates Importance of Leadership Scripture: I and II Samuel; I Kings 1-1 1 By WILLIAM E. GILROY. D. D. The history of the Hebrew monarchy strikingly illustrates what strong- "leadership, achiev ing unity, or ; supported by rjn united people, can accomplish; and conversely the decay and downfall show how quickly a state can disintegrate and a peo ple go down in ruin, when lead ership 'ails; and when dissension and division disrupt the internal life, leaving the state and people a brev to aEressive enemies. It seemed a great moment , when Israel hailed its tirst King, ' arid the bashful Saul, head and shoulders above all the people, was' brought forth from his hid 'itig place -and-prqclaimed mon arch, while all the people shout ed, "God save the King." But Within the one first reign all the dire things that Samuel had pre dicted', when the people turned from the prophet to demand a king, had come to pass. Saul had died, a suicide, slain by his own . sword, in ,the ignominious hour of on overwhelming defeat of the ' armies of Israel. It was a dark hour, and it looked as if the mon- j crcny was ended. Then came David. Or rather. David, the young shepherd boy who had killed the giant Goliath with his . sling-shot, emerged from the guerrilla warfare, and his leadership of a band of dis contented men, to become the man of the hour, and the savior of his people.

This he was, even as a warrior of today, General Pat tun, is a composer of music, and a song that has recently been sung over the radio. But actu ally David was a warrior, a man of action, and so much a man of blood that he was not permitted to build the temple a task re served for his son, Solomon. But as David was a warrior as well as a sweet singer, he was also a statesman, and consolidat or. From a kingdom in defeat, iurther disrupted by division, for some clung to Ishbosheth, Saul's son, and strove to make him king. David in his 40 years of rule, established the kingdom securely,- defeating external- ene mies and building the kingdom strongly from within. Passages here and there reveal the strength of this amazing man, end the deep contrasts in which he appeared sometimes almost as a saint and at other times as a flagrant sinner. There was the affair with Bathsheba, wife of Uriah, and the foul conspiracy to do away with Uriah by setting him in the battle where he would be surely killed. Yet when the prophot Nathan fearlessly brought home his sin to him( instead of destroying the prophet he ac knowledged his guilt. And against this is that noble picture of his pouring out as an oblation to God the water from the well of Bethlehem, which three of his mighty men had brought at great risk to their lives. That story (II Samuel 23:14-17) is surely one of the most tenderly beautiful in all the pnnals of war and fighting men. David passed on to Solomon a stiong, united kingdom; and Sol omon added to it magnificence, and the glorious building of the Temple. But he built at the cost nl oppression and injustice, and the downfall of the kingdom be gan in the very hour of its glory.

The real story, which is contrary to official reports, may be some what more involved and perhaps somewhat sinister. According to my information, von Papen was in one of the aU lied capitals three weeks ago. If this is so, the implication is that von Papen tried to negotiate a peace with the allies on behalf of some future German govern ment. In order to save himself, he refused to go back into Ger many and the "arrest" was stag ed to make official a situation which already had existed for some time unofficially. This correspondent wrote as early as the middle of December that von Papen was in Lisbon trying to negotiate with the al lies, but was given the cold shoulder. This correspondent al so said in the middle of Decem ber that the von Rundstedt of fensive had particularly surpris ed the allies because von Rund stedt had been the man behind von Papen when he sued for an cimistice. At the time this seemed rath er far fetched. But only a few days ago the allies openly admit ted that von Rundstedt had sued for an armistice and even offered capitulation, though at that time yon Papen's name was not men tioned. : However, there are many indi cations that von Papen never re turned to Berlin or BcrchtiU psden when his mission failed. Shortly after the von Rundstedt offensive collapsed and the allies entered the Saar we made Frau von Papen prisoner under cir cumstances which indicated that this lady desired to become our prisoner. Or perhaps she had been in our hands for some time rnd this was the only way of making the situation official. This could easily bo under-' stood, because at that time many , .friends of von Papen and his co conspirators for making peace were still within reach of the gestapo. "Phoney?" If the finding of Frau von Pa pen was somewhat strange, the discovery of her husband seems outright phoney. On the one htnd, his son seemed only too willing to betray the where abouts of his father, while old von Papen seemed surprised and shocked that the Americans ar icsted him. Needless to say if von Papen had been inside Ger many and had wished to evade allied arrest he could still be with the other Nazis. On the other hand, if he were all the time in allied hands and the pre-arrangemcnt was to make it public when von Pa pen's hunting lodge was reach ed, everything falls into place. Somebody cooked up the story of father and son and thus von Pa pen's face was saved. Such face-saving may have been the necessary though un happy duty of those who nego tiated with von Papen. How ever, it will all be difficult to ex plain to the peoples of Europe, including those Germans who are opposed to Hitler, all of whom know that von Papen is guiltier than most Nazis and a war crim inal, if such a word makes any sense.
