I Samuel HILL.
And the child Samuel ministered unto
The Lord before Eli And the word Of
the Lord was precicus in those days;
there was DO open vision.

when Eli was laid down in his place, ard

went and lay down.

and said, Here an I; for thou didst call
me And he answered, I called not, my
SON. lie down again
:. Now Samuel did not yet know the
Lord. neither was the word Of the Lord
yet revealed unto him.
5. And the Lord called Samuel again
the third zine. And he arose and went
to Eli and said, Here am I; for thou
didst call me. And Eli perceived that
the Lord had called the child.
g. Therefore Eli said unto Samuel. Go.
lie down; and it shall be. If he call thee,
that thou shalt say. SFeak, Lord: for
thy servant heareth. So Samuel went
and lay down in his place.
10. And the Lord came and stood, and
rallied as at other times, Samuel, Samuel
Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy
servant heareth-
Il. And the Lord said to Samuel, Be

both the ears Of everyone that heareth

u In that day I viii perform against
Eli all things which have spoken con
corning his house; when I begin, I viii
also make an end
13- For I have told him that viii judge
his house forever for the iniQuity which
he knoweth; because his sons made them
selves vile. and ne restrained them not
Il And therefore have sworn unto the
house of Eli, that the iniquity of Els
house shall not be purged with sacrifice
nor offering forever.
Is. And Samuel lay until the morning
and opened the doors of the house Of tht
Lord. And Samuel feared TO show Eli the
vision
16. Then Eli called Samuel and said
Samuel, my son. And he answered. Here

Il And he said. What is the thing thai
the Lord hath said unto thee?- pray
thee hide it not from me; God do so te
thee. and more also if thon hide anything

and hid nothing from him And he said
It is the Lord; let Him do what seemetl

- And Samuel grew, and the Lord wa:
with him. and did let none Of his word!
fail TO the ground.

It was a long time since God had spoken
to the children of men in direct mes
sage. Such high honor, if Gods voice
were to &C ne to anyone, would naturally
be given 10 the old priest Eli It must
have been what Eli himself expected. And
yet he does not seem TO have been watch
ing for any message, nor 10 have even
spoken Of the possibility OF 1t to Samuel,
for we are told that as yet Samuel knew
net" God IL any such way-did not know
that God spoke 10 men in open vision. .
Then ont Of the dfmness Of the unknown,
in the hush Of the night, there falls
voice Not on the listening ear Of q wait
ing aged saint, but TO a little sleepy, IN
expecting boy It comes Perchance old
Eli, mad his heart been listening. might
have heard the voice. and recognized It
as his Lords But so little was he hop
ing for any such manifesto that when the
obedient young feet brought the boy from
sIeep to his side, he thought the supposed
call a piece Of the boys dreams and sent
hin back to bed Even until the third
tiEae did his unthinking heart fail to
grasp the thought that God was calling
the hoy and that he had been put aside
One cannot but fancy that there was
little more sleep for Eli the rest Of that
night His conscience must have been
thoroughly awakened with the realization
that the voice was Gods. Over and over
In his mind must have been enacted the
different scenes Of his life, especially that
last time when God had stopped TO talk
with him, with the warning he had been
given about his two hayward sons, and
he hid not done any better about his boys
than before the warning came Now he
could see it all His punishment was upon
him at last. Strange he had not seen it
coming He was set aside. Samuel was
TO supersede him His wicked sons whom
he had not restrained we're to be banished
from Gods house.
And what awe must have filed the soul
OF the boy, called of God, and chosen as
His representative on earth. But with
the joy and wonder of IL comes the sad
ness Of the message he is given: the
trouble that is TO fall on his old friend
Eli
The dim lamp as it fiickers before the
sacred ark casts long shadows where the
two lie, each with his thoughts, awake.
And when the morning dawns and the
doors Of the temple are open and all the
little daily sacred duties done about God $
house then comes Samuel's time of test
Ing, for he dreads-O, how he dreads--to
tell Eli Gods message But now he shows
himself 20 be brave as well as willing and
obedient, for at the command he tells him
every whit" hard though It is. And
the old man shows the beautiful side Of
his character In bowling meekIy and say
ing: 1T is the Lord. let Him do what
seemcth Him good"
Il does not need that comparison be
drawn here, the lesson is obvious. Let US
older Christian Endeavorers beware lest

FIGHT ON METCALF.
Nomineef for Pension Agency Accused
of Killing Defenssless Prisoners.
ahi.i,vits from Former Members of tho
Twsnt eth Kansas Filed and Capt. Bolt
wood Is Pressing an Investigation
by the Senate.

Washington, Jan. 14.-i3efore the
senate committee on pensions Monday
the charges against Gen. Wilder S.
A. .tcalf, of Lawrence, Kan, of killing
prisoner while in service in the Phil
ippine islands, was revived. Col. Met
calf is the nominee to the Office of
pension agent at Topeka, Kan, and
the charge is made in connection with
t;e effort to defeat his confirmation.
G>n. Metcalf was a major in the
Twentieth Kansas volunteers when
the battle of Caloocan was fought and
the charge is that during the battle
lie shot with his revolver a Filipino
prisoner who was unarmed and at
the time on his knees pleading for
mercy. Affidavits from soldiers in the
Twentieth Kansas have been filed with
the committee and Capt. Edward Bolt
wood, late captain of company K, of
this regiment, appeared before the
committee in person. He pressed for
full investigation, saying that the
investigation made by the war de-
partment was superficial. Senator
Gallinger, chairman of the committee,
referred the charges to Senators ST.
mon, McCumber and Scott.
Statement by Gen Metcalf
Lawrence, Kan, Jan. 14.-Gen.
Wilder S. Afetcalf, when asked con-
corning the charges made against
him in the senate committee to pre-
vent his confirmation as pension
agent at Topeka, said: "The charge
that l shot Filipinos while they were
defenseless has been made before
and, after an investigation by the
officers of the war department, L was
eXonerated from all blame. The
charges are all old and threadbare
and L have not the least doubt about
the outcome. They were started by
some of my enemies in the Twentieth
Kansas regiment purely for personal
reasons"

edge of the tragedy. The Oldest
daughter, who left on an early train,
has not been found. An inquest will
be held to-day. 1t is evident that
robbery was the object as Booths
pockets were empty and he was
known to have some money besides
gold watch. The place where the
crime was committed is in what is
known as the bottoms.
