SAMUEL, THE UPRIGHT
HINGE


BY REV. ROBERT II. HARPER
Samuel was one of the great
characters of early Israel and
there was a potent reason for it
i'm infancy he was dedicated
unto God, and his pious mothers
act had much to do with his
great career. His early life
should be familiar to the reader.
The first of the lesson text
shows Samuel as the strong
leader of Israel. After the ark's
return from Philistia, Samuel
gathered his people to an as
sembly at Mizpah, and led them
to repentance and new consecra-
ton to Jehovah. The ,Philistine
regarded the occasion as a mob
ilization and they came up with
great army upon the Israel
ties. And they were terribly de-
feated.
Living at Ramah, Samuel held
court there and at other places.
He was an early circuit judge.
At length, after Saul had be-
come the first king and Samuel
had grown old, he brought the
people together and asked them
for a kind of vote of confidence,
not that he might remain in
leadership among them, but that
he might depart in peace. Con-
scious that he had walked in in
tegrity before God, the old man
also desired the approval of his
people and they gave it with one
voice.
Thus, approved by God and
men, Samuel came to the end OF
his pilgrimage, and left an ex-
ample of his righteous service
Let the upright judge be an ex-
ample unto all who hold high
office, and to all others as well
influencing them to be true ano
sincere in all their dealings.

GAS MISER Y
Takes Joy Out OF Life

Recently a Caldwell man said
he used to feel like a swollen
balloon after every meal. His
food turned right into gas; he
had gas pains almost constantly.
Now this man is praising GER

cine moved inches of bloat from
his stomach, and now he can eat
what he pleases, without gas
misery.
CERTA-VIN is taken before
meals and works with your food;
thus you get the fullest good out
of your meals. 1t contains Ten
Great Herbs with Vitamin B and
Iron, so it not only relieves gas;
it also makes the nerves stronger
with Vitamin B and enriches the
blood with Iron. Miserable people
soon feel different all over. SO

as actively as ever and it is only
