PAGE SIX SIMMY SCHOOL LESSON HANNAH; GODLY MOTHERHOOD International Sunday School Lesson for Aitgust 21st, 1938 GOLDEN TEXT: “Her children rise up, and call her blessed.”— Proverbs 31:28. (Lesson Text: 1 Samuel 1.1-2.10) The lessons this quarter jump from character to character. This week 0 we, consider Hannah, the mother es the great prophet Samuel. Israeal’s most opstanding figure from the time of Moses to his own day. The books of Samuel were original ly placed together as one. They were probably arranged in very much their present shape about 700 years B. C. Their subject matter is the record of Israelite history during the lives of Samuel, and the first two kings, Saul and David, a period of about one hundred years, about eleven centuries before Christ. Our picture is of an unhappy household. Elkanah had two wives, Hannah and Peninnah, the Israelites practicing polygamy at that time. Hannah was humiliated at her failure to have a child, while Peninnah seems to have been heartless and cruel enough to taunt her about it. The husband was partial to Hannah, thus increasing the bitter rivalry between the wives. Women this day and time rarely take the time to consider the many blessings which have come to them particularly because of the .Christian religion. Polygamy has been one of the evils ended by this faith. Wom an’s status has constantly improved, the dignity of her position as a mother and wife has been ever in creasing, and in every way Chris tianity has been a peculiar blessing to her. Quite naturally women have often been the mainstay of our moral and religious principles. Once, especially depressed by the absence of a child, Hannah went to the temple, and before the old priest Eli, made a solemn vow to Jehovah. She promised to dedicate her son to ® CHAPPELL HILL i V ♦ Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Chappell have returned to their home in New port News, Va., after spending a week with Mr. Chappell’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Watson Chappell.

Eli prophetically promised that her prayer would be answered. “Hannah prayed for a child from God," writes A. C. Dixon, “that she might give him to God. Praying for a gifts that we may give them back to k God has in it a high and noble motive, f Do you pray for money that you may s give it back to God ? If so, wealth 8 will never be your ruin. Do you pray for success in your life-work, , that . you may lay it at the feet of Jesus? e If so. the largest possible success will r be a blessing. Hannah did not forget her promise f when she became the happy mother f of a man-child. “Noble in spirit of 1 endurance in time of trial,” observes 3 Prof. W. G. Blaikie, “Hannah is still 3 more noble in the spirit of self denial in the time of prosperity. It was no common grace that could so completely sacrifice all her personal ’ feelings, and so thoroughly honor God.” She carried her young son to ’ the temple and formally dedicated ' him to the service of Jehovah, leaving I him there, although during the subse quent years this Hebrew mother by ' many little acts indicated the love | and yearning in her heart. We wonder if the millions of hard worked mothers realize the glorious possibilities of their task in training their own little children ? In this ; way, often unrecognized and obscure, | nameless mothers have contributed more to the world than spme of the figures which loom large on history’s 1 page. “What else can one do that is 1 so valuable as to contribute a human life to the world and then so direct it as to make of it a blessing to man kind,” asked the late William J. Bryan. “How insignificant seems the gorgeous tomb that marks the final resting place of one who has merely absorbed from society—how insignifi cant, I repeat—in comparison with these monuments of flesh and blood, left bj obscure heroines whose graves are forgotten!” Thursday with Mr. and Mrs. Paul Green, at Gatesville.
