Observe, Reader! the melancholy close of Saul's history; and mark what an awful lesson he holds forth to great sinners. Alas! that any man should leave God to consult with the workers of darkness!

That would have been - nothing: But when he added, and God is departed from me! this gave the finishing stroke to human misery! header! think of what vast importance that prayer, Oh, Lord, take not thine Holy Spirit from me, 1 Samuel 28:15; Psalms 51:11.
