Samuel. No prophet ever had q more

Jehovah than that committed unto
Samuel. His first revelation was of
judgment upon the house Of
Eli, because Of the sensuality and
covetousness of his sons, who had
prostituted their high Office for lust
and personal profit. 1t was a severe
trial that Samuel faced when Ell in

where the ark that symbolized
Jehovah's presence was kept. He
probably slept at the threshold, where
he could act as q watchman and wait
upon Ell. He showed his alertnesS
and willingness to wait upon the aged
by jumping, up and running to him
upon three different times in success
sion. He showed by his prompt re-
sponse that he had the stuff in him
out Of which God makes great men.
Three times he heard that individual
call, mentioning him by name. but he
him.
He was impressed by the fact the
light in the seven-branched lamp had
not gone out. which would indicate
that the call came near daybreak.
The repetition of the call convinced
Ell that God was calling his servant.
He advised him to go back to bed. and
that II he heard the call fourth time
that he should say. Speak, Lord. for
Thy servant heareth." Jehovah was
not known personally to Samuel at
the time, and prophecy was rare" at
that period. Men had .hut their eyes
to the iniquity Of the day. and their
hearts were not open to hear the mes.
sages that the Lord desired to com.
municate to men. We cannot COM
municate with any station or hear
their program unless our radio Is in
tune with It's wave length. We can't
hear God until our heart is right with
Him.
Samuers attitude toward Jehovah
proved his willingness to receive and
follow the instruction Of his teacher.
His heart was sensitive to the voice Of
God. A new epoch in the history Of
Samuel to be his spokesman. The

port of DIR. Ed +. Cook. secretary of
this department, shows. The report

The development of the work has
been brought about mainly through
the operation of the dual extension

vided equally between extension Of ac-
tivitics in unchurched areas of the
United States and missionary work

gram of missionary education totaled

The foreign extension side of the
sunday school program. according 10
Dr. Cook, involves modern methods
of Sunday school organization and de-
partmentalized promotion of religious
education in China, Japan. Korea and

I, For the purpose of financing the
movement" she said, 1T is proposed
that donations be received from pub

members of every club and organiza-
tion. in the state. This would create Il
run sufficient to clear the ground.
install water facilities and build an

the upkeep of the grounds. Highways
would give access to the park and sup
plies could be obtained from nearby
towns by automobile. The housing
problem could be solved by the use
of tents and cottages.
If the plans work out it would be
