It Is q piteous tragedy; the son
had disappointed his parents. the
general had betrayed his army, the
ruler had enslaved his people, the
giant had shorn away his own
strength. The essence OF the
wretched story is that, SHINING
against his finer feelings and ne
glecting through culture and exer-
else to improve his higher ideals,
slowly the spiritual sense had been
destroyed until in the pathetic
words of the writer, Samson visit
not that God had departed from
him." For an inner blindness went
before and pref1gured those outer
sightless sockets. Milton says,
Samson was binder than his
blindness and carried "a weight
heavier than his chains" We see
illustrated the binding, binding and
grinding power of sin.
The cruel Philistines, insulted
him in the prison and finally oblig-
ed him to contribute amusement in
a sort of primitive theatre. The
roof formed the seating place o.
the structure. Great crowds gazet
with barborous delight on the hui
initiation of Samson. Asking tt
