The twelve lessons are from ono book
i Samuel, and cover period of nearly
one hundred years. The days of the
Judges ARE linked with those of the
kings. First the rule of the priest Is
shown, then The rule of the king, fore
Him who is Priest, Prophet
and King.
The IradinG places brogiit into promi-
neDce during the quarter are the follow
ing: Shiloh, Ebentzcr, Aphek, KiIjnth-
jearim. Mizpeh. Ranah. Gilgal, Bctlle-
ham, Gibrah. Valley of Elah, Wilderness
of Engcdi, Mount Gilbot.
The chief persons are: Eli, lI0phni |
Phinchas, Samuel, Eleuzar, S S,ul. Ag,g,
Goliath, David, Jonathan, Jcsse's SONS
and Saurs sons.
These lessons present the conditions |
of success or failure in life. Faith IN
God and Obedience to all his commands |
will bring success and prosperity, and
without this, disaster is certain to over
take us. No one is exempt from the
dire cons, quenccs of disobedience-the
king upon his throne, or the serf, and
nations as wells as individuals are nike
subject TO this fixed law. The child, |
the young man, the old man, who are
ever ready to hear and to obey God
will enjoy pence and protection, while
those who are forgetful, disobedient or
defiant of God, will reap the bitter fruits
and consequences here and hereafter
This law of success or failure is as
forceful in it's application to-day as it
was when Saul went down on that
bloody field to disgraceful death.
