Golden Text — Direct your hearts unto Jehovah and serve Him only.—I Samuel, 7.3. During the perfod of the judges the national and spiritual life of Israel suffered a decline. While thers were spasmodic efforts from Joshua to Bamuel that succeeded in turning the nation from {ts_apostasies to a high trust in God, the people continued to show a tendency to forsake the worshlp of Jehovah for the idolatrous practlees of their neighbors.

They were forced to go to heathen blacksmiths, less in their de- sire for independence they should make weapons of warfare. During the twenty years the people had not been allowed to hold public worship, 50 that Samuct must have prepared for this public meeting by u sccret ministry among the people. Every true revival is based upon the study of God's word. He preached | the word until the people were filled with a spirit of repentance. Samuel insisted that the people, who had be- ! come devoteed of the idolatry of the Philfstines and worshipers of and Ashtaroth, should prove their re pentance by putting away their idols and returning to the worship of Je- hovah. If the people would give themselves up to hearing and doing God's word, then they were assured that the Lord would “deliver them from the hands of the Philistines. ‘The nation assembled at Mizpah re ognized Samuecl as their leader. The proved by their presence and by the observance of u solemn declaration the reality of their penitence and dedica- tion to the Lord's service, The drawing of the water and the pouring of it before the Lord proclaimed their re- pentance and was a confession of their 8in and_a consecratlon of their life to God. They held a sclemn fast in accordance with the requirements for | the observance of the great day of ! atonement and confessed with their lips their trangreasions, In accordance with the people’s wish Samuel assumed the Judgeship of -Israel and became that Gay the supreme _spiritual, civil and military ruler of the nation. = The Philistines could not permit the Tsraclites to assemble In a great na- meeting that threatened their supremacy without ing an_effort to ush the rev i nment. ‘They proposed to scatter the ceble Hebrews, who had usssembled at Mizpuh without any arms, and put down their revolt. The appearance of the approaching Philistine forces filled the Israclites with fear. They were nervous, but showed an evidence of falth when tliey urged Samuel to pray for the nation. In thefr fear and superstition , that was a sign ce with them. offering the pra protection against their wemy, Sumuel offered o “sucking lamb” as u whole burnt offering for the penitent peop Jehovah kwered his servant's prayer, as has more thun once in cruciil hou of the world's history. Apparent there appearcd to be no hop Tsracl against the hosts of the Philistines, whose approach w by the Hebrews, but God intervened. | He sent a thunder storm that broke the morale of the Philistincs, who recognized In the miraculous manifes- tutlon the thunder of Jehovah. It gave power to Israel so that they pursued the fleeing cnemy und de- feated the Philistines at Heth-car. The Philistines of the modern world would all be destroyed, if the forces of the Lord Jesus would recognize that the supremucy of Christ, “out- r sins and plac nfidence in Iis pro r for the | are. succoss of the revivil which ripped the people’s hearts and ight pass from the memory of men, so Samucl erected a memorial stone, that would through all coming time tell the story of how God had come to their Scue In the honor of cincrgency at izpah in answer to their venitence and prayer.
