kept him IN the immediate attendance
upon duties in which he was engaged.
The old man was sincerely good how
ever weak he might be and he gave his
best to the child he certainly loved. Nor
can he be utterly condemned after max
ing such a contribution to the life of
Israel and the world. Trained for
priest the prophetic spirit broke thru
and it is the function of the church 80
to train today that the, prophet soul
within may grow until it is ready to
speak Gods own message.
THE OCCASION.
Against the background of selfish
ness, greed, sensuality and sin about
the House of Jehovah Samuel grew
stainlessly. a fine flower upon the re-
fuse. And it was this same foulness
that gave the occasion for the boys call
to the prophets place. Eli had been
warned by some messenger of God that
there could be but one end to such
careers and that his own rejection was
involved in the shamelessness of his
sons filling holy offices. Samuel may
have heard it or the old man may have
told him in his urging that the child's
life be kept clean. And it was open to
the day and every one spoke. Under
such conditions it is not strange that
there should gro T in the boys mind
protest against the sin that he saw and
knew to be sin. He had lived his teach
ing and Jehovah was holy God to him.
He was incapable of having any greys
in his vision for the child sees every
thing either black or white. Ought he
tell Eli about the boys? Sometime that
question thrust itself into his mind.
That they might hate and prosecute
him entered into his thinking as did the
consequences with Eli. He might send
him home and to be degraded from the
place for which that home had planned
and prayed would be terrible. Nor
was the pain of Eli who seemed a
father to him of small moment to the
boy who was facing the imperious
Ought" of his own soul and hearing
from hour to hour the challenge, You
ought to speak; you ought, you ought"
Certainly there must haye been some
thinking like this at the back of his
mind for God does not speak into I'M
reused souls.
THE CALL.

tween myself and my friend in another
city but the voice is his that assures me
of continued goodwill. Whatever the

THE HOME.
That home in the hill country had it's
shadows but the light of great love
was there also. Polygamv furnished all
the yexations possible as one wife re-
preached the better loved Hannah tor
childlessness. The uniting bond in FL
kanah and Hannah was religious for
they went together to the shrine Of
Jehovah at Shiloh. Where one parent
goes in one direction and the other in
another the children are left to their
own devices and go generally to the
dogs. But Jehovah gripped these folk
and they served Him unitedly. They
believed in prayer and out of perfect
agony of intercession Samuel was born.
His spirit was swaddled in it and his
beginnings were fed with devotion. His
will bowed to the authority of love and
his hands knew the ministry of service.
His lullaby was the crooned story of
his dedication and he knew himself as
Jehovah's child before he could lisp His
name For that dedication was the out
standing thing in the impression given
and they were eager to have him the
public servant of the God they loved.
If there are lacking recruits for the
ministry or mission fields the cause lies
here that the home does not want the
child in such service. There is utter re-
fusal to dedicate the child waiting for
Gods call and the barriers of ambition
and selfish love are built against any
such intrusion on the Lords part. Nor
is the home always among the layity
for one parsonage to which the nephew
turned for advice urged the rejection
of the ministry as life work and an
other preacher uncle to whom the boy
went in his desire to find God s
will answered in the same fashion. Is
it strange that he should have decided
that he was mistaken in his call? God
cannot build new world without homes
so filled with Heavens atmosphere that
it carries Heavens messages into the
heart of every child within its walls.
THE CHURCH.
No one can tell exactly how old Sam
uel was when he was placed in the care
of Eli. Certainly he must have been
three or four at least and was likely
older. God made the home and man

COTTON TREND is
HARD TO DISCERN
Conflicting Reports Leave Traders
Uncertain as to Tendencies.

New Orleans, Oct. 1.--Cotton was
without any very decided trend today
and the close was 35 points down to 4
points up, compared with the final
prices of yesterday. During a good
part Of the session the market stood
at small to moderate advances, but
there were declines in the early trad
ing and again toward the close, while
October closed at the lowest of the
day, at 2LS0. The weakness of Octo-
Der appeared to be due to liquidation
of long contracts, which liquidation
was first started by the circulation Of
a few notices.
Around the opening the tone was
steady enough and prices were adj
vanced % to 3S points by the strength
of Liverpool and fear of frost on the
weather map. but after the first de-
niand was satisfied the market re-
ceived no great amount OF support,
and 1t started sagging. The down
ward movement persisted until all of
the decline was lost and prices were
one to five points under yesterdays
last quotations.
December rose to 21.63. In the late
trading the market lost it's good tone
completely, further cablegrams claim

settled only for a week and that trade

ket was very poor The decline that
resulted carried the price off to net
