Golden text—Speak, Jehovah, for Thy servant heareth.—I Samuel, 111.99. i In the account of the life of Samuel we find the only record of the child- hood of & great man in the Old Testa- ment. In studying the boyhood of this eminent leader, whose influence upon the history of God's chosen people ranked next to Mo one is impressed with “the astonishing modernness of the anclent Jews “in thelr attitude toward the child life.” ‘Without any knowledge of the mod- ern psychology, we find that they acted in accordance with the prin- oclples that are the foundation of our modern conception of childhood. Strong lives are not the result of chance. Whenever God desires to make & great man He starts with his parents. Samuel was no exception, for his father and mother were Gpd- and noble-hearted. Elkanah, his father, was in all probability a Levite. In the opening chapter of the lesson we that he possessed three qualities: “Fidelity in religious duties, thoughtfulness for his family, tenderness for Hannah.” Samuel's life was influenced by the spirituality of his mother. She is “portrayed as a woman of prayer, of quiet and oourteous dignity, of trust, of ad- herence to her promises.” In answer to her silent prayer, which is the first recorded in the Scriptures, Samuel was born. Before that great event she had dedicated him to the Lord's service. No_higher aspiration can any mother have for her son than that he should he engaged in God's work. During his early boyhood Hannah held her ideals before Samuel until at 12 years of age she brought him to the Tabernacle, or House of Jehovah,” at Shiloh, where he became an assistant to Elf in the service of the sanctuary. Although from the hour he became a son of the law and his educatlion intrusted to the aged high priest, Samuel’s training was under the direction and influence of this re- markable man, his. mother continued to exert her spiritual power. Annual- 1y she brought up the priestly vest- ments for him to wear, patterned after those'worn by the high priest. Samuel met the many men who came to Shiloh to worship and confer with Ell, who acted as judge and high priest. Being at the center of the nation’s relgious and political life, Samuel was impressed by the nation’s weakness and wickedness. While Eli falled in his duty to his sons, he exer- cised an influence over Samuel that protected him from the evil influence of the licentious lives of his two sons It was during his service of minister- ing to EN that Samuel was called to be a prophet. It was Samuel's duty to open the doors of the tabernacle and minister to Eli, whose eyes were falling him. The aged priest had his sleeping quarters in connection with the taber- nacle, and S8amuel slept in the room where the ark that symbolized Jehovah's presence was kept. He probably slept at the threshold, where he could act as a watchman and walit upon Eli. He showed his alertness and willingness to wait upon the aged by jumping up and running to him upon three different times in succes- sion. He showed by his prompt re- sponse that he had the stuff in him out of which God makes great men. Three times he heard that individual call, mentioning him by name, but he did not know ‘hl! it was God calling him. ; He was impressed by the fact the light in the seven-branched lamp had not gone out, which would indicate that the call came near daybreak. The repetition of the call convinced Ell that God was calling his servant. He advised him to go back to bed, and that if he heard the call a fourth time that he should say, “‘Speak, Lord, for Thy servant heareth.” Jehovah was not known personally to Samuel at the time, and prophecy was ‘rare” at that period. Men had .hut their eyes to the iniquity of the day, and their iearts were not open to hear the m sages that the Lord desired to com- municate to men. We cannot com- municate with any station or hear their program unless our radio is in tune with its wave length. We can’t hear God until our heart 1s right with Him. Samu attitude toward Jehovah proved willingness to receive and follow the instruction of his teacher. His heart was sensitive to the voice of God. A new epoch in the history of Israel opened when Jehovah called Bamuel to be his spokesman. The Lord’s purpose in selecting the boy is clear from his career. He was to call back the nation to God’s service. The age in which he lived had to be re- formed. He was_calléd to make men, - INSPECT 1716 Upshur Street The Best Value in a < Detached Home: West of Sixteenth Street An exceptional new home of eight large rooms, two tiled baths, hardwood floors throughout, spacious kitchen, large light cellar with serv- ant's lavatory and wash trays, thirty- wallon sutomatic storage heater, open fireplace, large attic: lot 33x156 foet to alley.

He was to guide the nation through the transitory period from being directed by military judges to a monarchy. Samuel was called to establish the kingdom, select the first King and then unseat him. He was to be a great religious reformer that would introduce the use of songs into the religious worship and place David, who would give till larger place to music in the hip of the Lord, upon the throne of Saul. During a long life he was to be God's moul plece. The words that he uttered in- fluenced not only his own times, but that of all subsequent ages. His life would have been a failure if he had not courageously carried out his first commission by delivering the message of doom to EIll. Commission Delivered. “The glory of the Lord,” according to the Targum, was ‘“revealed unto™ Samuel. No prophet ever had a more trying commission as a spokesman of Jehovah than that committed unto Samuel. His first revelation was of coming judgment upon the house of Eli, because of the sensuality and covetousness of his sons, who had prostituted their high office for lust and personal profit. It was a severe trial that Samuel faced when EIll in- quired concerning God's message, but he did not hesitate to declare the whole message of doom to the teacher that he loved. He had the courage of his convictions and proclaimed God's program of chastisement. He could have hesitated and refused to tell Elf, use he was not Instructed to in- form him of the approaching doom. Samuel met the test, and Ell recog- nized that his servant had been called of Jehovah to be a prophet. Samuel commenced his cares 1926. prophet, when he was about 12 years of age. He made Eli see his folly and | His fallure. The words of the youth made him realize the shame of Shiloh and his own neglect in training his sons, whose career had filled him with sor- row and shame. The judgment of God upon Eli and his household meant re for Samuel. It impressed Samuel for it made clear to him that all evil doers would reap the reward of their sin. If the sons of the high priest could not escape, then no o could escape being punished for their iniquity. It taught him that the lead- ers in the political and religious life of the nation had to live clean lives, free from unselfishness and im- morality. The great religious reform. er learned in the destruction of Eli's house that greed and iniquity can never go unpunished. God Stilt Calls. God 1s still calling boys and girls, men and women to enter his servis He will not call men into the religious service of the Church unless they have first accepted His call to be saved. He speaks to men through nature, providence and His word. Sickness, sorrow and sudden calamity should open our heart to hear the message of the Scriptures and the spiritual instruction of the Holy Spirit. Literature may touch our consciences and mold our character, but it is still true today, as with Samuel, that most people owe their revelation of God to the Influence of their mothers, fathers and teachers. God is stil] calling the youth to His service, but frequently the older lea ers are not as quick, as Ell was, to detect the fact that the Lord wants the children of all lands as His own.

When amidst the clamor the din of business, the voice of God calls, let us have the same at- titude of mind, that Samuel possessed, when he sald “Speak, Jehovah, for Thy servant heareth. Every call to God's service is a call prepare to do His work. Samuel did not 'stop his work of preparation when he was called to prophesy. He continued in his work of ministering to Elf and grew in favor with God and men. He grew in prayer until everybody knew that he was a prophet of the Lord. He grew in obedience, in truthfulness, in modesty, in kind- ness of heart, and in helpfulness to all men. Amidst the darkness of his times God called Samuel to be a prophet, religious reformer, national leader and statesman. He is still calllng men and women to volunteer for His service, asking them to re- spond to His high calling in Christ Jesus. When He calls, let us have the spirit of Samuel and obey His command. —_— Girls in Japan are from a very early age systematically instructed in physi- cal exercise. witn the result that at maturity they are almost as strong as the men.
