there was no remission.

Eli was naturally anxious to know
the nature Of this special communica-

priest, but when all the facts were
finally laid bare to Els stricken soul

Trenches were but a 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-
tion seemed necessary. Accordingly
the Germans hoisted a white flag and.
advancing under this, entered the allied
trench for a conference. The result
was that an agreement was reached
that it would be more comfortable for
all to live in one trench until n side
or the other received orders.
The Germans moved over bag and
baggage, and for a number of days all
went well. Many of the Germans
spoke English or French.

The Lesson Explained Verses 1-1o.-
An early call.
The life Of Samuel is of the greatest
interest for many reasons. At every
period of his career. from boyhood to
old age. he set a 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. Ell. the priest. was unfortunate
In his two sons. who disgraced the
cause of religion by their impious and
wicked lives. In marked contrast TO
them was the pure and beautiful life
of Samuel. He soon became the conf
Dental servant of Ell and was Of great
help to the 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 a kind and wise coun-
selor. who lavished upon this respon-
siye soul what he might have impart-
ed to his own sons had they been Of a
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.
ence TO his blindness Is given TO e
plain why Samuel went Immediately to
Ell when he heard the voice verse A..
ERE the lamp of God went out" This
explains the time, which was probably
in the early hours Of the morning. for
it was customary to have a light burn
ing all night in the temple. Samuel
was laid down" The voice of the
Lord was heard by him in his sleep,
"Here I'm l." This prompt response IL
lustrates how quick he was in minister
ing to Eli. night OF 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
Ell perceived that the Lord hat
called the child" He therefore In
structed the youth what should be done
in case the voice is heard the fourtl
time. "Speak, Lord. for thy servant
heareth." 1t must have been with min
gled feelings that Eli recognized thl'
distinct course of revelation from Goo
and encouraged Samuel in his attitud,
of submission and listening obedience

These $50 men are all that is left Of
the French troops who vainly attempt
ed In a two days battle to resist the
German advance between the rivers
Lys and Semois on Aug. 22-23. The
order for general retreat sent out by
the allied forces on Sunday, Aug. %,
reached them too late. Their only way
of retreat, through Mezieres, having
been cut OF, and realizing that they
we're surrounded, they decided to seek
refuge in the thick forests with which
this region is covered and to await
there the return of the French forces,
which in their minds then was a mat
ter only of days.
A soldier who reached Paris saw the
French commander only recently and
succeeded in getting through the Ger
man lines and back to Paris. At that
time the German military authorities
had posted throughout the two Belgian
provinces Of Luxembourg and Namur
the following announcement addressed
to the fugitive soldiers:
French Soldiers-We know where
you are and have full information re-
garding your strength. In your own
interest we advise you to surrender
and promise that your lives will be
safe. II you refuse every n Of you
will be shot"
On the following morning the Ger
mans were amazed to find written in
| a bold hand across several of the pos
| tiers the following line:
IF you know where we are why
don't you come and get u.s."
And underneath appeared the sigma
| ture of the French commanding Off
Ger with his full name and rank and
the number of his regiment.

whether he also was unarmed. The
next time we saw each other we both
felt the chances were safe. So there
we were, he on one side and on the
other, each pulling at the stack. Then
we turned our backs on each other, and
each went to his trench with arms

and It did not take long before the
entire initial decline had been Cancelled.
Later profit-taking caused another reac-
tion. The rise in the United Railways OF

ly encourage his customers to purchase

greater profits.
