Lesson VII.?First Quartef, For
Feb. 14, 1915.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of ths Lesson, I Sam. Hi. 1-13, 19.
20?Msmory Vsross, 8, 9?Golden
T?xt, I Sam. iii, 9?rCommsntary Prs
parod by Rov. O. M. SUams.
What a specially great lesson till? la
for boya, with something for every
one. young nod old. In all Scrfpture
there Is a message from the tietivt of
God to each' Individual heart that
reads. It Is true always, as la the last
rerso of our lesson, chapter, that th^
lord reveals Himself by His word.
The Scriptures are the revelation of
God to man. and the Lord Jeaus Christ
Uth^LIvIuK Word, in whom we see the
Father, even as He said. "He that hath
seen Me hiith seen the Father" (John
xlv, 0). Our lesson 0|>ens with Samuel
ministering unto the Lord. See also
chapter U, 11, 18. Thla Is pot the word
which 1? translated to "minister In the
priest's office," but the word to serve
or minister, na when Joshua ministered
to Moses (Ex. Xxxlli, 11; Josh. 1, 11.
Even a child can serve Him whs
came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister (Matt x4 28). May we al
ways be able to say from the heart,
"Whose 1 am and whom I server' and
count It our highest privilege to minis
ter unto Ilim (Acts xxvll,23; Luke Till,
/B; Dan. v I, 16). In the revised version
the words "precious" and "open" are
la the margin "rare" and "frequent,?
trad the meaning probably Is that any
special message from the Lord was of
rare occurrence or It had been some
time since He had spoken. The book
of Judges ended with every man doing
right in his own eyes (xxl, 25), and
now E!l, the priest of the tabernacle,
which was then at ShUoh (1. 3: Josh,
rvltl, 1, 10), waa somewhat out of fel
lowship. for he mistook broken heart
ed, praying Hannah for a drunken wo
jnan nnd did not control his own sons,
honoring them above God, so that a
man of God had to come to him with
a reproof and a w.Trnlng d, 12-16; 11,
2fT-36). . >
Before we consider tbe call of Samuel
in our lesson let us look at the circum
stances of h(s birth. His father. Kl
kanali, Keeina to have been a devout
man,-going up from rear to yea^ to
worship and to sacrifice unto the Lord
of boms In Shtloh (1, 8). Bat he bad
two wives, which was contrary to
God's original arrangement and al
ways brought trouble. Hannah, who
bad no children, was continually
taunted by'the other, her adversary,
provoked sore and made to tret and
grieve fl. 4-8). tier refuge waa prayer
unto tbe Lord, and He beard her and
gave her this son 8am net (1, 10-20).
She called him Samuel because she
asked God for him (L 20. margin),
and when she bad we?ned him she
took him to Shtloh to serve the Lord
In the tabernacle "with Eli. visiting hlin
from year to year when she went up
to worship and taking him i Httie coal
(I. 24-28; U. 18. 10).
The Lord abundantly rewarded her
for the gift of her firstborn, for He
gave her five others, three sons and
two daughters <11. 20, 21). So Samuel
grew before the Lord and was In fa
vor both with the Lord and. also with
men, and the Lord was with him, und
nil Israel knew that be was establish- j
ed to be a prophet-of the Lord (IL 21.
20). How beautifully tbe Lord did I
bless Jhe boy who was dedicated tu
ITIm even before his birth, and bow
grandly He did reward his mother mid
cause her to forget her misery oud
sing for joy! Her song lu chapter U,
1-10, which Is also called a prayer, la
one of tbe most beautiful ou record
Returning to our lesson' story, we
read that one night, or perhaps toward
tbe dawn (verses 2,' 3, 151, Samuel
heard some one call him, and. suppos
ing It to be Ell. he ran to him, but. on
being assured ttint Eli had not ei'.Hed
him. he lay down again.' The K^.oyd
time he benrd his iihji'u f and wunt
ngatn to Ell, but was wwirtd as oe
fore. Not until he beard hi? name the
third time and for the third time went
to Ell with the words "Here am f did
Ell perceive that the Lord was calling
the child. Then be said to him. "If
you are called again sqy, 'Speak, Lord,
for thy servant heareth.'" For the
fourth time tbe Lord called him and
this time mentioned hla name twice?
"Samuel, Samuel." ?
I have found only seven people'In
the Bible who were thus addressed,
and there most be some significance
in It, whether we can see It or not.
Look them up and pender tbe circum
stances prayerfully. On hearing this
fourth call feamuel replied as Ell
taught htm, and then the Lord gave
to Samuel the solemn message for Kit
which he faithfully repeated to him In
the morning, telling him every whit
and hiding nothing from him. It Is
doubtful If either of them slept again
that night Samnel had hla first mes
sage directly from the1 Lord, and Eli
was no doubt wondering what It could
M. They each had enougb to think
about Samnel from this time onward
seems to have had. always an ear for
God, Note tbe peculiar language of
I 8am. Iz. IB. and may we all hove
Itmllnrly anointed cars to hear His
volc?v Ell ww the Justice of It alL
remembering no doubt the words ol
thf man of God In chapter II. 27. and
be submissively said: ?'It Is the Lord.
Let Him d? what setmeth Him good"
(verse 18). Compare Job 1. 21; II. l6;
Ps. writ, 0: tea. rcxvDI. IS: nxlx, a 1
Tke Trading Staap Kril
It thare la ona practice ln roru ta 1
this country that o OS tit to be "canned"
It is the trading ?tamp evil. - I
, It 1* one of the biggest takes stace
the days ot Barnum. yet people will
nibble and bite at it continually and
then Jell tor more bait.
When a merchant must resort to the
questionable practice ot giving pre
miums ln order to sell his goods It Is
quite time tor the buyer to aak hlmselt
It those goods are worth the price de
manded tor them.
It they are worth the price, the mer
chant will not need to oiler "some
thing tor nothing" ln order to effect a
sale. The goods will sell on their
merits
But It they are not worth the price
?and a "bait" Is dangled before the
prospective customer?It Is time to go
to some merchant who will give a
dollar's worth of goods ln return for
every dollar he gets. ' .
The trading stamp habit Is resorted
to by the merchant In cities, who use
them as an "Inducement" to pull trade
from country people. And It Is a safe
bet tbat the merchant gets the full
value of his goods, and likewise the
full value ot the trading stamps he
"gives" to his customers.
If wheat Is selling at a dollar a
bushel and a city chap went out into
the country and told a farmer^ h?
would take a load provided the farmer
threw In a hog or a cow as a premium,
what would the farmer do? Kick h'.m
off the place, ot course, for insulting
his Intelligence.
When a tellow offers to bribe you
to trade with him by giving you trad
ing stamps, or "something for noth
ing," Isn't he handing you Juat about
the same brand ot courtesy? Is It a
compliment to your Intelligence?
If a dealer can afford to give yon
trading stamps, cant he Just as well
afford to reduce the cost of his goods
to the extent of the value of his
stamps? And If he Is charging too
much for hta goods. Is that the place
for you to trade?
Inferior goods sold by thp aid of
"premiums" are expensive ln the end
?for we,never get anything ln this
world that we do not pay for? n?t even
a premium, or a trading sb
The Ideal dealer who gives
dollar's worth of goods In exchange
for your dollar 1b the man to tie to.
He Is the man who will stick by you

When you feel bilious, sluggish,

druggist sellB for 60 cents a large bot

entirely vegetable and pleasant 10

calomel. It Is guaranteed to start your
liver without stirring you up inside,
and <\ n not salivate.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses yon a day's
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straigh

In a~ta!k with the telephone clerk.
He looks at a couple of letters.
And sketchlly skims through the
news,
And says that the dope bears out his
fond hope
That the Giants &re going to lose.
He goes out to luncheon at .noontlmo.
And sits 'round and puffs a cigar,
While he stoutly contends to a couple
of friends
That this fighting is going too far.
He is back on the job at two-thirty
And stleks till u quarter past four,
Then he strolls to the board where
the tallies are Bcored
And "fans" for a full hour or more.
