on the thought of the world. Milton
embodied it in one of his noblest poems
and Handel made it the subject of one
of his most majestic oratorios.
Samson's life was typical of the
the Holy Land, where he was born,
reared and did his exploits. This half
way land was overlooked by the CEN
trail range, under the control of Judah,
and overlooked the coastal plain that
was governed by the Philistines, d
warlike and well organized people, who
lived in the rich and fertile plain near
the sea coast. Both the rulers of the
plateau and those of the plain claimed
it. The strongest at different periods
of the history of Palestine controlled it.
The influence of environment played
large part in the molding of the
life of Samson. The highlanders of
Judah and Benjamin were an exclusive
class and kept themselves separated
somewhat from the members of the
tribe of Dan, probably because of the
higher religious life of the men of
Judah and Benjamin.
Samson had good start in life, due
to the spiritual character of his par
ents. Every child born into the world
has a right at least to the advantages
of a good birth. Samson was divine
gift to the peasant parents. who de-
sired not only a son, but prayed anx-
iously to know how they should rear
the child that called for the prenatal
preparation on the part of the mother
of abstaining from the use Of wine and
strong drink.
Samson was one of few in his day
that were dedicated to Jehovah from
their birth by their parents to live the
life of a Nazarite, who abstained from
partaking of or drinking wine and all
alcoholic liquors Cor strong drink) and
allowed their hair and beard to grow
without any tool of human make"
coming in contact with their heads.
Such persons. with their long hair and
unshaved boards, were considered holy.
Consecrated by his vows to Jehovah,
whose cause was imperiled by the in
roads of sin, due to the influence of the
Philtstines over some of tho tribes

during the period when the first and
parent of all the worlds great reli-
gions was developing among the Is
raelites upon tthe central plateau,
tions of life. He was not. however, a
saint because he kept the pledge. His
disposition. which probably may &C
count for his name, sunlike, was not
His love for excitement and fondness
for certain type of Philistine women.
by whom he loved to be coaxed and
f1attered. proved his undoing.
Samson. the strong man of his day,
possessed all the elements of power.
He was strong according to the Old
Testament dispensation because he was
filled with the spirit of Jehovah, and
according to the New Testament re-
auirement of personal faith, and he
met the modern demands because he
was endowed with great physical
abled him to Ito do exploits" that at
tracted men to him at first and finally
made him the Judge of Israel.
His first failure was due to his re-
fusal to heed the parental advice
against being unequally yoked together
haste occasioned his wife's death short
ly after their marriage. and started the
long quarrel. which brought misery
to the Philistines and such glory and
brother and the disloyalty of his first
wife ought to have been a warning to
Samson against any other entangling
alliance, but the man. who never failed
to exercise his tremendous strength
upon the right side was slave of his
own passions. He conquered others,
but could not control himself.
Samson's power was destroyed, but
Gods grace restored him in the hour
of his extreme suffering. While his
enemies rejoiced over his condition
they failed to see how the Lord had al
lowed him to become a prisoner so as
to restore him through suffering to
His service. They boasted that they
had overthrown Samson's God, who
was preparing to overthrow them by
means of the blind prisoner that they
now despised. The prayers of Samson
were heard. The eternal Judge heard
the cry of the servant in bondage and
once more gave him power to carry
out his plan of sacrificing his own
life to free Israel from the phllistlne
mower. The rulers of Philistine were
all gathered in a great house feasting
when the blind prisoner. with power re-
stored, prepares to die with Gods name
upon his lips in one supreme eHorl
that would glorify Jehovah ana ee Isee
making sport of the blind prisoner, Ut
tie realized that once more his muscles
were full of power and that he piah
ned their death. With an enori thas
nroved the grace and judgment OF
God Samson pushed against the pillars
and and destroy. destroyed the building, killing
more in his death than in his life; The
man that lost power had it restored
just as we may by returning TO tne
lord. seeking His mercy and pardon.
Our only safety Is to trust God. NO
matter how spiritually strong you may
be YOU are in danger except when
kept by the power OF God.
