The Sunday School Lesson
SENIOR BEREAN

Golden Text.-Speak. jehovah, for
thy servant heareth Il Sam. iii. 81.
The Lesson Explained. Verses 1-1O.-
An early call.
The life of Samuel is of the greatest
interest Tor many reasons. At every
period of his career, from boyhood to
old age. he set Il notable example of
devotion to God and Of patriotic allie
glance to his people. The name Sam
uel means Heard Of the Lord and
SO this child Of many prayers. who
knew the Lord from early youth, lost
no time in beginning his preparation
for the lifelong service of the sane
tuary. Eli. the priest. was unfortunate
in his W. sons, who disgraced the
| cause OF religion by their ilnpious and
wicked lives. In marked contrast to
! them "a the pure and beautiful life
of Samuel. He soon became the conf
Dental servant Of Eli and was of great
help TO he aged priest, rendering an
important service that should have
been performed by his two worthless
! sons. Hophni and Phinehas. "The child
Samuel" He was now between twelve
and fourteen years of age. the period
in life when youth reaches the thresh-
old of the larger life and is in urgent
need Of sympathetic guidance. Sam
= uel found in Eli Il kind and wise coun-
! selor. who lavished upon this respon-
| siye soul what he might have impart-
| ed to his Owl sons had they been of Il
| docile spirit.
"The word of the Lord was precious"
Owing to the Astounding corruption in
religion there We're very few prophetic
revelations from God. NO open vi
SION What was not given could not
have been published abroad. ELI was
laid down in his place" Asleep. His
eyes began to wax dim This refer
plain why Samuel went Immediately to
Eli when he heard the voice Verse d.
Ere the lamp Of Sod went out This
explains the time, which was probably
in the early hours of the morning. for
1t was customary to have Il light burn
ing all night in the temple. samuel
was laid down" The voice Of the
Lord was heard by him in his sleep.
"IIere am l." This prompt response H.
Illustrates how quick he was in minister
ing to Eli. night or day. Thou didst
call me-" This was spoken when he
heard the voice for the second time.
/ Did not yet know the Lord"-in the
sense of receiving and understanding
a personal revelation. hence his confu-
sion in recognizing the divine voice.
ELI perceived that the Lord had
called the child" He therefore in
structed the youth what should be done
in case the voice is heard the fourth
time. "Speak, Lord. for thy servant
heareth." 1t must have been With min
gled feelings that Eli recognized this
distinct course of revelation from God
and encouraged Samuel in his attitude
of submission and listening obedience.

i, now presented himself in visible form,
the voice became q vision Verse 15);
and Samuel was introduced for the first
time into personal fellowship with God.
His soul was impressionahle, and the
divine Spirit was therefore able to re-
veal his thoughts to one who knew and
understood and accepted the divine
| will.
Verses 11-13.-A fearful judgment.
The extent of the confidence impos-
ed by the Lord in Samuel is seen by
the announcement of the pending pun
lShment which was soon To be intiict-
ed on the family of EIi. 'The ears
OF every n that heareth it shall tin
gle" So fearful will be the calamity
that will befall. not only the sons OF
Eli. but also Eli himself and the whole
nation. "All things which l have
spoken The reference is to the
words that had already been spoken
by Il messenger of God to Eli q Sam.
ii. 1856. Judge his house forever"
The punishment will be final and com
plete. The wheels of God grind slow
ly. but they grind exceeding small"
and when he is through the work is
S o thoroughly done that nothing more
remains to be performed. Made them
selves vile" The sons of ELI were
guilty OF blasphemous and immoral
deeds, but their father ''restrained
them not with IL firm hand. He was
satisfied with mild eXhortations which
had no compelling effect. They had
sinncd with a high hand in defiance Of
light and duty. and for such ~otfenses
there was 10 remission.
Verses 10, 2O.-A quiet growth.
Eli was naturally anxious to know
the nature of this special communica-
ton. Samuel hesitated to tell the
priest, but when all the facts We're
finally laid bare to Ellis stricken soul!
he submitted to the divine decision
without any demur, saying. 1T is the
Lord; let him do what seemeth him
good" The spiritual development of
! Samuel was under gracious influences.
and his words of wisdom We're receiy-
&c with respect. LET none of his
words fail to the gronnn.' They We're
fulfilled and We're thus divinely in

Trenches We're but q few yards apart,
and in these for more than a week the
men Of both sides had been bored and
inactive. They amused themselves as
best they could-exchanging messages.
swapping newspapers and tobacco,
hurting back and forth greetings and
epithets.
More days passed, and still neither
side received orders either to attack or
to withdraw. Some sort Of co-opera-
ton seemed necessary. Accordingly
the Germans hoisted Il white flag and.
advancing under this, entered the allied
trench for q conference. The result
was that an agreement was reached
that it would be more comfortable for
all to live in one trench until one side
or the other received orders.
The Germans moved over bag and
baggage, and for 4 number of days all
Went Well. Many Of the Germans
spoke English or French.
! One day a messenger came, and
plans for the renewal of hostili1ies
We're hastily made. But the messenger
proved to be only Il bearer of mail and
newspapers for the Germans. All

from Berlin. Unhappily for the har-
mony Of the gathering, it referred to
Calais by its German name "KaleS'
and spoke of bomb droppings on va
riouS French towns and of contem-
plated air raids on Great Britain.
The English frowneu and growled
the French grew excited. Both sides
had by agreement laid aside their RI
fles, but both sides still had their fists.
Both sides used them. \. free for all

concealed a half battery Of howitzers

coming lower and lower, reaching final

er German artillery so far in the rear
he came within easy shooting distance
for our gunners in the village.
"Suddenly two shots were heard,
and two little white clouds We're OBJ

ut the same spot until he was almost
enveloped by the next two cloudlets.
One shot exploded just in front Of him,
the other just behind him. Our men
had got their range very quickly.

simultaneously, settled its fate. The

other was a square hit. and the appa-

profusely that Mr., Trail hurried
her to DR.. Cope's Office, where
she received medical attention.
