sAMUEL's CALL.
Inc Epworth League topic for April q
IS round in l. Samuel i'll, 1-21 Among the
most charming pictures of childhood given
IN the Bible the account of the child
samuel holds a leading place and is of
unIalHng interest. In rude age when
pure relglon was rare and even the
priests OF Jehovah were sometimes wicked
men, unrestra1ned by the aged high priest.
1t is refreshing to see The simple faith
ana obedience Of the boy who received
messages from God and spoke conffdingly
to Him.
The age Of Samuel was one of the
transition periods Of religious history, and
MS influence in those changes was most
powerful. Moses stands as. the representa-
i've OF the law and Elijah as the type of
the prophet, as a preacher Of righteous
ness. Samuel represents the change from
ana ecstatic vision professed to reveal
hidden truth and foresee the future, to a
new type OF men who by the use of ra
uonal powers came to know the will of
God IN clear vision and knowledge and to
speak for Jehovah to men. Tlrev became
prophets not SO much because they fore
tod future events as because they told
Iiutn TOT God. They were for-tellers
rather than fore-tellers.

rect faith of his childhood. He was fear
less in his defense of the right and direct

king or people.
This lesson Is chosen with special refer
