SAMUEL: JUDGE AND PROPHET
i Samuel 1:1-28:20.
Only fear Jehovah and serve Him in
truth with all your heart; for con-
slider how great things He hath
done for you.-I Sam. 1924.
THE MAKING OF A PROPHET
Many things happened before that
day when "All Israel knew that Sam
uel was established a prophet of the
Lord" There is a slow tick of 5000
seconds before the clock strikes the
hour, hundred years are in the max
ing of the wonderful bloom of the
century plant and no prophet springs
into prominence without previous
preparation. Ancestry holds much
power in shaping the attitude Of an
entire family. To trace ones line
back to the MayAower injects a 10y
atty to ideals INTO a mans living that
may be brushed aside but always ut
ters a protest against any lowering
of them In that old day to be born
of the tribe of Levi carried a sense of
dedication to Jehovah not common to
that Of any other tribe. And Hannah
lived up to the finest traditions of the
best Of them in being one Of the great
mothers of all time. God went into
partnership with her to produce this
prophet and it was oU, of that in
tense devotion that the child was
born. He was stepped N God before
his birth and so soon as he could I'M
derstand he knew that she had ded-
icated him to Jehovah. Tnen he was
placed in the care of Eli at Shiloh.
The worship there was anything but
uplifting, but it was the best to be
had and the pageantry of that ancient
church must have made great i'm
preston on the boys mind. His
sense of God became vivid and vital.
Eli with all his weakness Of will knew
much Of the history of the great past
and poured its thrilling tales into the
ears of the boy And he had the
mellowed intimacy of the aged with
eternal things so that Samuel grew
to expect speaking God to reveal
His will to the earnest seeker after
it. Then came the tragedy Of the
priest in the death in q single day of
his boys and himself, Ntth the clear
understanding that it was due to sin,
not in the mass, but personal. And
there came a perfect horror Of sin
in itself and Of understanding Of its
fatal effects in either the individual
or in the nation. So that having had
a great mother, a great teacher, a
great experience C God and q great
conviction of the need of righteous
living it is rot strange that Samuel
became q great prophet

stead of struggling against it and
thus causing division. Unselfshness
marked every event of his life. What
held good within it for the larger
number outweighed every other con
sideration. "Witness against me be-
fore Jehovah and before your new
ruler. Whose property have | taken
by shady application Of the law?
When have | used my Office to get
even with my enemies? When have
taken a bride to render decision in
favor of any person." 1t is a ire
mendous thing to be able to chal-
lenge the world with ones integrity
in office administration. Washington
did it in laying aside his authority.
Kossuth closed his career with the
words, My hands are empty, but
they are clean" Samuel put God
first, country next and himself last Of
all in every act of his long life, and
such character makes possible the
prophetic career.

fireplace Of the prophetwas unique
in IsraeI's life. 1t was unknown among
any other people. There were pseudo
prophets who were the tools Of king
or class, but among the Hebrews he
stood higher than the throne. Ma
than called the mighty David to ac,
count and Elijah scourged Ahab in
Naboth's vineyard. They acknowl-
edged only God as ruler, for the king
was His representative in admins
trative affairs and as mouthpiece of
the Almighty they spoke with author
ity that palace never possessed. They
stood for the spirit of democracy, for
the rights of men, for the suprema-
cy of moral laws, for justice in all
the affairs of the nation and as such
they hold a place whose worth can
not be estimated. And it is their sue
cessOrs by whatever name they may
be known in these latter days who Ill
timately determine whether a nation
is to be a blessing or a curse; whether
it should live or die from the face of
the earth.

chief ruler of the land and had wrot
with great success. To nave the peo-
pie to whom he had given his best
thought and service come to him de-
claring that he was failure and
there must be a change in the form of
government was calling indeed to the
still vigorous leader. Like all other
questions he took it straight to God
and found there the sober second

THE PATRIOTISM OF A
PROPHET

Those who understand in any fash
ion the feeling in France over the
possibility of a German invasion that
has clouded all the thinking for nearly
two generations, and shapes every
idea connected with the settlement
of their affairs, can measure in some
degree the fear of Philistia that eX-
listed throughout the days of Samuel.
All that Germany has been and is to
France, that histile confederacy along
the coast was to Israel. For the ma
ton to fall was the fall also of Jeho-
yah worship, and Samuel threw him
self into the struggle between the
two ideals with all the passion of his
strong life. He started an educational
program that instilled into youth
something of his own deep sense Of
Jehovahs presence in mems affairs
and built into it a glowing patriot
ism that made those bands the guar
dams of democracy in that PARKWAY
day of autocratic power. As Judge
he stood sponsor for the high au-
thOrity of law over every individual
from the king on his throne to the
peasant in his poverty. Religion and
law were the two pillars of national
ity in the creed of the prophet, and
these are two things that may be
very profitably declared in our own
land
Then he became the Washington
of his day and nation, for he was the
real father of his country in the
change of form that took place in its
government. With unselfsh patri-
otism he chose Saul from the little
tribe of Benjamin,agai which there
could be no jealousy or suspicion, to
be the first king. And after he had
swept the invaders from the eastern
gate it was Samuel VINO gave him his
crown and carried all the people into
his support. 1t was the same task
that Russia essayed, to build a new
government in the midst of war and
it is little wonder that there were i'm
PROJECTIONS in the working Of the ma
chine, and there came a day when the
still virile leader knew that another
type Of leadership was needed and he
unhesitatingly though fully conscious
of the peril he incurred, sought out
the boy David and poured upon his
head the holy oil Of dedication to
high destiny. Samuel was the inau-
curator of two dynasties one Of which
has brought us Christ, the King of
the ages, and he made possible the
democracy Of the past that has been
the inspirer Of all the brood Of today.

REMOVING EARLY MOLTERS-
SIMPLE METHOD OF CULLING

Ability to choose between the lay
ing hen and the nonlayer is easily
developed by poultry owners and
should be put into practice in Gull
ing he flock if the best returns n
both eggs and meat are to be had.
In any flock some hens will be found
which are such poor producers that
they are improbable, and these
should be the ones to eat.
All hens mott in the fall or early
winter This molting characteristic
is easily observed and, when it starts
to take place, means that the hen
has about finished her laying season
and is turning her attention to grow
ing a new crop of feathers for va
cation before she starts her next
years work If it is desirable to use
part of the flock for meat, says
the United States Department of
Agriculture, the early molters are
the ones to select for eating first be-
cause they are laying very few or no
eggs during this molting season
which usually lasts about three
months. The hens in the flock which
have not yet started to molt should
be retained for egg production. They
should not be killed until they be-
gin to molt and their combs begin
to lose size, color, and f1exibility,
for if these changes have not taken
place the hens will probably still be
laying when eggs are especially val
liable.
AS a rule, hens of the genera1-pur-
pose breeds are not profitable layers
after they are years old, and Leg
horn hens rarely lay profitably after
three laying years Many of the ems
should be culled before they reach
these ages and replaced by we'll
matured pullets in the fall.

followed by small grains.
~ First year small grains fol-
lowed by peas, clover sown in the
pea stubble; second year: sweet
potatoes, soybeans, or peanuts;
third year: cotton with clover in
the middles; fourth year: corn fol-
lowed by small grains.
The clover may be used either
as a green manure crop, hay, seed
or pasture as desired. The United
States Department Of Agriculture
considers a good crop of clover
plowed under equivalent to the APP
pication of eight tons of fresh
barnyard manure.
Our method of farming in the
past, in which commercial fertilizer
is applied, every spring to be wash
ed out of the soil every winter is
proving too expensive to be con-
tinued. We must keep a crop
growing on the soil as near as pos
sible the year round. Crimson
clover used for this purpose would
mot only plug the leak, but would
add in addition thousands of dol
lars worth of nitrogen to the soil.
Crimson clover may be called a
Muscle Shoals which any farmer
may put to work on his own farm
at very low cost. It's potential
value is so great under Georgia
conditions that the Georgia Expert
ment Station wishes to urge every
farmer who can do so to start at
least a small field of it this fall.
