Betrayed BY a Woman.
AS Samson Is name for physical
strength and spiritual folly, so Delilah
Is history's synonym for disloyal
woman. Samson was infatuated with
her, and his enemies bribed her to
betray him by learning and disclosing
1.-THE secret OF his strength. He jested
with her by misleading answers TO her
opportunities. so that she successive
| ly bound him with green withes, with
unused ropes, and with weavers
web, crying each time, The PILLS
tines are upon thee" or course Sam
son was foolish not to perceive what
all this meant; but Solomon later OBJ
served that the ways of man with
woman are past finding out
leased, reproached, nagged without
ceasing. Samson at length divuiged
his secret: the Naxirite vow, which
made him dedicated man. was the
secret Of his strength. The cutting
OF his hair would mean the shearing
of his strength. The perfidy OF the
woman, and the patience of his enc
miles. had at last conquered Samson.
He was In the Philistines' hand, and
they blinded him, and bound him with
letters Of brass and made him to
grind at the mill, like a dumb animal.
Samson never really saw Alright un-
til his eyes were put out. In his blind
mess he perceived the folly Of his
youth, and his missed opportunities.
A pathetic figure he. the redoubtable
and fnvincible hero now the sport OF
children and loafers. In those bitter
days there grew up In his heart a
great purpose to do one service for
his nation. AS he felt his strength re-
turn---a fact which he concealed from
his captors--a plan shaped itself In
his mind.
So when called into the great hall
OF assembly to make sport for his
enemies his hour came. The incident,
the climax Of Samson's career, Is best
told In the words Of Scripture:
"And Samson called urN Jehovah.
and said, o Lord Jehovai remember
me, I pray thee, and strengthen me.
I pray thee. only this once. 0 God.
that I may be at once avenged OF the
Philistines for my two eyes. And
Samson took hold Of the, two middle
pillars upon which the house rested,
and leaned upon them. the one with
his right hand, and the other with
his left. And Samson said, Let me
die with the Philistines. And he
bowed himself with all his might; and
and the house fell upon the lords, and
upon all the people that were therein.
So the dead that he slew at his death
were more than they that he slew In
his life"

while the mans glance OF contempt
strayed from the merchandise to the
vender.
''Very well" nodded June, and a
grain OF rice fell from the brim OF
her little blue hat and bounced I'm the
rigid woman's lap.
The woman turned sharply; then
she half rose and looked at the top
OF the hat. There was more rice on
Il.
LET me see that watch" she said
icily. One lid contained a picture OF
June and her dog and the other the
date OF the gift and her name and ad-
dress. '-
"How much do you need4or this?"
she wants about SO, ma'am." This
was from the, pale-faced conductor,
who was so broad and stuffy that he
was an offense in narrow aisfes, but
his eyes were full OF wrinkles.
The rigid lady snapped the watch
shut and turned to her husband.
"Dan"-it did not seem possible that
her voice could take on wheedling
tone, but IL did want So"
The man turned to her with cold
disdain. He produced $40 from tight
bound wallet and instantly into June's
mind there flashed that picture or her
standing before Ned a piteous beggar.
The runaway bride took seat by
herself and was presently given the
discomfort OF knowing that the man
was grumbling at the woman inces-
sanity for having bought the watch.
The black vandyked man went over
to them, and she saw him pay some
money, and then he came back to
June with the watch In his hand.
OF course you won't permit nae to

observed. 'If you care to send for II

SON for Jan. 81, 10 "The Birth Of
samson."-Judg. fs:s-te; "a, IS.
ey WILLIAM T. ELLIs.
A frank look at the weakness OF
the strongest man, samson. Is today's
Sunday school lesson.
Back In the unsettled times OF Is
rael, more than O thousand years be-
fore the birth OF Jesus, before ever
the people had q king. and the lead
ership was with judges, or cham
pions, or heroes. Samson was born.
Like SO many other notable char.
acters. he Was the child Of yearnins
and prayer and covenant His par
ents had been long childless when
they received with Joy the promise
Of SON. In spirit OF grateful ex-
|ultation. they dedicated the babe to
| d life apart, and made for him the
Naxirite vows, which later were
taken for John the Baptist. His head
should 60 unshaven. he should drink
no wine and touch naught unclean.
And the child grew. and Jehovah
blessed him. And the Spirit Of Je-
khovah began to move him."
There was a great beginning. In
heritance, natural gifts, spiritual en-
duement--all were the lot Of this
young Naxirite. The most favored
youth OF his day was Samson. All
the elements Of greatness were his.
He had been made ready FOR great
service to his time. Thus far his
case runs parallel to that Of host
of our favored young men Of today,
richly lowered In body, mind, for
tune and home. To them, as 10 Sam
son, the nation looks for leadership
and deliverance. Some of them, alas,
fail In quite the same fashion as he.
The Man Who Missed Hls Chance.
Every mature person has marvelled
at the young men and women OF
promise who have not amounted to
anything. Every college has It's stor-
les to tell OF graduates sent forth
with high hopes. who have never met
expectations. They are the Ssmsons,
lowered with giant capacities, which
they fail to use Alright.
All who follow baseball recall the
death last year. OF q meteoric pitcher

work. He preferred to be a bar-room
hero, a wonder" on q small team, to
