LOCAL PULPIT FILLED BY VISITING MINISTER THE EVENING Oratory, Gallerus, County Kerry, Ireland. RATORIES, small chapels, were the first stone houses erected in Ireland for Christian pur- poses. There are many of these spread through the valleys and the mountains of various parts of the Emerald Isle; and, though most of these are in ruins, they yet exhibit re- markable characteristics of the archi- tecture and building operations of the early Irish Christians. They were built of the crude stone found in the imme- diate neighborhood and show the im- perfect development of the Roman mode of construction, erected without cement or mortar of any kind, the Stones fitted together in a manner truly admirable, and their walls converging from the base to the apex. None of these evinces an acquaintance with the arch. The most beautifully constructed and perfectly preserved of these ancient ora- tories now remaining is that of Gallerus, in Southwestern Ireland. It is built of the peculiar green stone of the district, | minus mortar as usual, is 23 feet long, | 10 broad and 16 feet high. The walls | are 4 feet thick at the base, and the only openings are the single door at the | west end of a small window in the ! opposite wall. The exact date of the erection of this old chapel is uncertain, but proof of its | antiquity is furnished by the remains of | the ancient stone houses of the inhabi- | tants and their graves, marked with | upright pillar stones, bearing inscrip- | tions in Ogham, Roman and Byzantine | characters of the fourth and fifth cen- turies of our era.

By the Assoclated Pres NEW YORK, ugust 9.—Trans- oceanic airlines connecting all parts of the world are predicted by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh as a development of avi- ation to come within the next few years. Speaking twice yesterday over the most elaborate hook-up of radio sys- tems ever established, a hook-up de- signed to carry his voice over the American _continent, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, Col. Lindbergh declared that the most important ef- fect of aviation will be upon interna- tional relations. “When measured in hours of flying time,” he said, “the great distances of the Old World no longer exist. Na- tions and races are not separated by the traditional obstacles of earthbound t e last few years have seen the extension of airlines over every conti- nent. The next few will bring trans- oceanic routes to unite these conti- nental services into a network covering the entire world.” The first broadcast of the speech failed to remch England and Europe because of a storm at sea which inter- fered with transatlantic sending. ‘The second broadcast, although in- tended for American listeners, also was sent on short waves, which made it available to European hearers, although the difference in time would have brought it in during the early hours this morning. It was Col. Lindbergh's first delivery of a prepared radio speech. SUPPLY MINISTER IN BAPTIST PULPIT Rev. C.

Golden text—"“My son, hear the instruction of thy father, and forsake not the law of mother.”—Proverbs, 1.8. Hannah, the godly mother of Samuel, ranks high among the mothers of his- tory. She was a woman of piety, prayer and purity, yet her position among the women of her day and generation filled her heart with great sorrow. It quite difficult for us to realize the fact that her longing for the joys of mother- hood was something more than the in- herent desire of human nature. There is more to it than that, for in those days a woman's home and social stand- ing depended upon her being a mother. If the years passed and the woman had no little one to nurse, or even if she had daughters but no son, her situation in the home and social circle became almost unendurable. Although Elkanah, her husband, was devoted to her and loved her, the fact that he had taken another wife, whose sharp tongue stung Hannah with the sting of a viper, added to her sorrow. In the eyes of the community, especial- ly of the women, Hannah knew that they considered that she had failed in doing her duty. One year, when the family had made their annual pilgrim- age to Shiloh, the divinely appointed place of worship in those days, to observe the “Feast of Tabernacles.” Hannah was filled with sorrow. During the journey of about 13 miles from her home, Hannah's heart was heavy with her disappointment and affliction. She took advantage of her opportunity to present her desire for a son to Jehovah. While she prayed, Eli, the aged priest observed that she did not _cry out, al- though her lips moved. He misjudged her actions and charged her with being drunk. This added to her sorrow, but when EN knew the purpose of her prayer, he gave her his blessing. This gave her confidence that her prayer would be answered. She left Shiloh expecting that Jehovah would fill her heart with joy and give her a son, whom she promised to dedicate to His service and rear him as a Nazarite. Prayer Answered. When her prayer was answered, Hannah had a double joy, because her sorrow was over-and God had answered her prayer. She called the young baby Samuel, so that whenever she spoke of him, the godly woman recalled that he had been “asked of the Lord,” for such is the meaning of his name. Probably no factor plaved a more important part in molding the character of her son, than his mother's prayers. It is true in our day, as it has been throughout history, that the agonizing prenatal prayers of mothers have played a promi- nent part in determining the personality and work that men have performed in glgd development of the Kingdom of During his student days at Colgate & number of students met in the writer's room after we had faced one of the most important questions of our lives. In the course of the heart-to-heart talks that night one of the students referred to the fact that his mother had given him to the work of the ministry before he was born. Soon every man present told how his mother had by prayer pledged his life to the Mas- ter's service. God hears the cries of the praying mother for her unborn child today. When the mother pleads with the Lord for her child during the prenatal period, it insures the child a welcome and training in a Christian home. There never has been an hour when the need of parental responsibil- ity should be emphasized more than the present. Parents should recognize their scriptural responsibility to pray during the prenatal period and through life for the Lord's blessing upon their children. Our neglect to do so is a sin and is largely responsible for the pres- ent attitude of children toward their parents and the cause of Christ's King- lom, Jeremiah was called and set apart for his prophetic office before his birth. John the Baptist was a child of prom- ise, given in answer to prayer in ac- cordance with the annunciation made by the messenger of God to Zacharias when he was engaged in God's service in the temple. The parents of Hudson Taylor, founder of the China Inland Mission, believed that they should fol- low the Old Testament requirements and dedicated their first-born child, James, to the Lord. The tremendous influence of Methodism can be traced to the prayers of the mother of John Wesley, who set her young child aside for God’s work and promised that she would see that he received a religious training. The mother of Augustine, the eminent theologian of the Roman Cathr- olic Church, gave him to the Lord and followed him with her prayers through- out 30 years of his life, much of which Augustine spent in a dissolute manner of living. God heard his mother's prayers. Many of us recognize that we owe to the prayers of a sainted mother our personality and powers. Fulfilling Her Vow. Hannah did not return to Shiloh for worship after Samuel was born until he had been molded by her life and teachings for the place he was des- tined to hold in history. He gprobably was about 6 years of age when Hannah brought Samuel to Shiloh and com- mitted his training as a servant of Je- hovah to Eli, the priest, who had seen her pray and had_given her his bless- ing and prayers. In fulfillment of her vow, Hannah dedicated Samuel to the work of the Lord. During the days he spent in God's house as a servant and apprentice Samuel was a subject of his mother's prayers and labor, for she made his clothes and annually carried them up to him in the tabernacle, where, under the instruction of Eli, he was being trained to become one of the e ~ Wnited Brethren - Memorial United Brethren hurch North Capitol and R Streets.

He closed the period of the Judges and helped to establish the kingdom and founded the prophetic order. He has won a place in literature, as he is recognized as the suthor of the Book of Ruth, one of the most beauti- ful productions of all time, that we studied last week. He composed the Book of Judges and the First Book of Samuel. Samuel owes his greatness under God to the influence of his godly parents and the instruction given him by Eli during the days he served Jehovah in the tabernacle. Samuel's early labors reveal the possibilities of children being saved and becomng identified with lh? service of Christ and His church. Many of the leading ministers and religious leaders of the Christian church found Christ during their childhood. When at the pinnacle of his greatness Samuel recalled his indebtedness to his mother. All great men realize their debt to the mother who gave them birth. Although Samuel owed much to the instruction and influence of Eli, he had to make his own decisions and dedicate his own life to God’s service. When he was 12 years of age he heard the call of God, but he did not know that it was the voice of Jehovah summoning him to His service until Eli made it clear to him. Under the guidance of Eli Sam- uel personally responded to God's call. The decision he made than marked the crisis in his life. Too many parents and teachers overlook the fact that our Lord condemned the attitude taken by His apostles when parents sought to bring children to Him, so that He might bless them. He loved children when He was here in the flesh, and is as desirous that they should be brought to Him now as He was when He walked among men. He is calling the youth of today to enter His service, just as He called Samuel. Let us assist every boy and girl to realize the importance of hearing and_obeying the voice of God. Our Lord has'a place and part in His work for us all to do. To that end let us say to all, “Hear the instruction of thy father and forsake not the low of thy mother,” for by obedience to their teachings we can better serve God and His cause. ) Sunday School QUESTIONS 1.
