force righteousness. world society will
be in a bad way indeed.
Gen. Booth used to tell the story of
the little girl who prayed that her bad
brothers might not trap the birds;
and that the birds might be kept from
going into their traps. Then she went
out and smashed the traps.
Old Eli, high priest, Judge and ruler
of ancient Israel is picture of futility.
He was good man, but negative.
Under his sway, religion relaxed and
the moral tone of the nation slumped.
His conspicuous failure was in the
wickedness of his two sons, who be-
haved shamefully He was what we
call IAN indulgent father; which usu-
ally means a father who has not
enough backbone to control his own
family. Eli was condemned for the
iniquity which he knew and
he restrained them not.
At this point we are on delicate
ground. For we are today reaping the
fruits of home life that lets youth go
its own gait. Discipline disappeared
from many families. "Obey that i'm
pulse" became the law for young and
old. The four characteristic RS" OF
really civilized living went into eclipse
-Reticence, Reverence, Refinement
the Religion. Fathers failed to give
themselves to their sons-the only
form of training worth mentioning;
while mothers were too busy with arti-
ficial modern concerns to show their
daughters what it really means to live
their own life" The Eli pattern Of
home sovefnment prevailed; and the

result has been disaster to countless
lives.
Preachers as Parents.
Naturally. the scandal caused in
Israel by Phineas and Hophni was
intensified by the fact that they were
sons of the high priest. preachers
sons and deacons' daughters" have
always been the target for critics
although cold statistics show that
preachers sons turn out more success
full than any other classification of
boys.
1t is an aWesome thing to be
preacher. or Christian teacher, and to
have to be an exemplar of religious
life. Heavy and sometimes rksome
as is the responsibility, the reward is
equally great. Most of us would
shrink from becoming bishops or Sec
retaries, lest the deadly paralysis Of
perfunctoriness get us into its grip.
Eli had a high place of authority, to
which he had proved unequal, as the
warning which came by way of the
boy Samuel made plain Peril, as
well as power, goes with position.
He Cared for the Ark.
Ninety-eight years old, blind. and
weighted with flesh as with years, Eli
presents a pitiable picture as he sits
by the wayside, waiting for news of
Israels battle with the Philistines.
After a first defeat. the Jews had
come to Shiloh and carried away with
them the Ark of the Covenant. that
its presence on the field might give
them victory.
Old Ellis first concern was for the
Ark. The safety of his renegade sons
meant less to him than the Ark of
the Lord. This is Eli at his best. A
man is revealed by his anxieties. Are
we more concerned over the news
from China and Spain, and over the
bitter plight of the poor. who by mil
lions are eating the bread of charity,
than we are over the state of our own
personal fortunes? Vicariousness is
at the heart of Christianity, and its
symbol is a cross.
This Book of Samuel which we are
studying is one of the most readable
in the Bible, and full of incident and
action. No passage is more appealing
than that one which portrays the
venerable Eli. with his sightless eyes
turned down the road whence news
would come from the battlefront. His
heart was heavy with concern for the
cause of Jehovah and His people. He
could not see the messenger running.
with garments rent and soil on his
head, in token of grief. The city Of
Shiloh learned the news first, and it
was the outcry of the people that
caught the ears of the high priest.
He heard the terrible tidings of Israers
defeat, and Of his sons death; but
when told that the Ark had been cap
tured, it was too much for him; he
fell backward of his seat beside the
city gate, and his neck was broken
and he died. Forty years Of judgeship
was climaxed by this dramatic end.
But Ellis last thought was for the
things of God.
