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. We picture David
:;s the author of psalms, the
sweet singer of Israel, playing on

bis harp. 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.

Terrified Von Papen May Have
Sought 66 Arrest5' to Save Faee
1
By CURT RIESS
BERNE, May 5 (NEA)
Franz von Papen may be a pris
oner today, but that does not
mean that he was taken prisoner
by the allies a ' few. days ago.
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.
