for great act of penltence and prayer.
confession and conservation: The gath
erlngs in India, China and Korea where
great groups of folk have been swept
by the Spirit that fell with flaming
force across their lives are parallel to
what must have occurred in that far
off day. 1t was a wonderful religious
mass meeting of the men of Israel.
Days passed and the fervor grew while
continuous streams of distant folk
trickled thru the passes to the hills in
creasing the numbers and swelling the
sense of Jehovah's presence. And as
is always true the spirit of nationalism
grew with the cleared spiritual sense
and patriotism famed into new heat.
Korea and India are witness to the
same quickening in these last days.
Life is no closed corner and when the
heart is warmed every worthy feeling
CLOVIS also. Small wonder that the
Phllistines began to feel that there
might be challenge to their own over
lordship if no notice was taken of the
happenings among the hills and pres
emily their forces were marching across
the slopes and their banners could be
seen against the sky. Israel had case
of nerves but they called for the only
power that can be marshalled against
their oppressors. Samuel was urged to
pay for their deliverance. There was
no cry for symbol this time for the
work of the Seer had been to well done.
With the people where He can answer
them Gods winds swept across the
cliffs and hurled hail and rain into the
faces of their foes. Confusion reigned
among the fighting men. Israel with
new spirit took advantage of the hour
and chased them down thru all the pass
es and reaped victory temporary but
real.
PRAISE.
A monument must be set up to mark
the advent. Where defeat had over
taken them in other days success had
come. The bitterest failure may be
changed to splendid achievement. DIR.
Trudeau made his misfortune his means
of ministry as did blinded Moon who
gave raised letters to the sightless. On
every battle field there are the columns
that tell the story of the fray. And
every soul has the same. There is a
spot of holy ground where is written,
Hitherto hath the Lord helped US. +"
1t may be an old altar, it NAV be a
cemetery slab, it may be Mothers
Bible whose yellowed, thinned pages
are wrinkled with tears, it may be
Fathers prayer place, but som where
each of US has that monument of VIC
tory when God conquered US and for US.
Set up the stone with shouting and
gladness that all the world may know
what God has done. Only the memory
must be an inspiration and not a limit
1t presages progress or it is as worth
less as a mushroom cracked to thirsty
man. Long years of struggling life
were ahead but Israel was never quite
SO hopeless as she had been and moved
surely toward the fulfillment of her
dreams.

HANNAH'S PRAYER.
By Rev. d. A. Friend.

BY Rev. ID. A. Friend.
In Gods divine, majestic ways
A thousand mysteries abound,
Mid fiercest storms He hides His face
AS if no God were to be found.
The earth may quake the thunders roar
Lightnings may flash and rains may
pour,
And gathering tempests sweep the
skies
Till streams and rivers fiercely rise;
Mems hearts may fail and courage
wane,
And faithless souls may writhe in
pain
Because in troubles darkest hour
1t seems that God has lost His
power.
But faith beholds fairer sight
Mid darkest hour it sees the light
And through the break in storm cloud
riven
Beholds the God that reigns in
heaven
Who big with mercy reaches down
Our prayers to hear, our joys to
crown,
And speaks in richest tones of love
To those who lift their hearts above,
And drives the heaviest cloud away
And brings again a glorious day;
His word is sure for those who trust,
For He is holy, pure and just.
In ancient days, a woman fair
Lifted her heart to God in prayer
That heavens favor might be won
And grant to her an infant son.
Her lips she moved in voiceless word
There in communion with her Lord
Elkanah's Hannah, sorely tried,
Could in Gods loving power confde,
| And little Samuels pleasing charms
Were early placed within her arms,
And as an offering pure and good
She early gave him back to God.
God called him in his early day
AS on his couch he resting lay;
Three times he heard Jehovah's word
| Before he recognized the Lord
Jehovah stood beside his bed,
And -Ely's doom he quickly read,
And Ely's sons who grieved the Lord,
Their judgments fierce, young Sam
uel heard.
The message filed their hearts with
fears
For it had given them tingling ears,
And in one dread and fearful day
| Those three in deaths embrace did
lay.
But brave and nobly Samuel stood
Serving his country and his God
| For forty years he Israel served
And never from his duty swerved
He walked in wisdom's lofty ways;
In all his works his Maker praised;
| He scared on faiths mysterious wings.
He poured amounting oil on kings
On Saul and David, men of God,
While nobly for the right they stood,
But when Saul turned against the
Lord
The wrath of God was on him
poured
On Mount Gilboah, there he died,
With Jonathan, his hearts fond
pride,
And David, Gods we'll favored son.
Was soon established on the throne.

average Sunday, and also that special
attention was given the matter of col

cording to reports, the amount will be
over subscribed, since number of

age, and the quota for the county is
about $500.

NJ T. Chandler reported that 205 were
in attendance and that the collection
amounted to $40.25. There was special
music at this as well as the other
churches, and the pastor and superin-

highly gratifed at the showing. There
will be an effort to continue the big
attendances in the Richmond churches
and many elaborate programs are be-
Il ing prepared for future meetings.
