-PAGE TWO SOAY SCHOOL LESSON SAMPSON: STRENGTH AND ; , WEAKNESS International Sunday School Lesson for July SI, 1M8. Golden Text: "Be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his might." Ephesians 6.10. Lesson Text: Judges, 13 to 16 Chapters Into the arms of a childless woman came son, promised by God, espec ially blessed by God and set apart for His service Samson. As a Naz irite, his parents swore to bring him up under the strict laws of the sect. He was sworn never to touch any alcoholic beverages nor was a razor ever to be set upon his head. Early in life, Samson felt and re cognized that "the Spirit of the Lord began to move him." If Samson had followed the movings of the Spirit in the days that followed, the story of his life would have been quite differ ent from what it turned out to be. Apparently accustomed to having everything he wanted, whether it was what he should - have had or not, Samson demanded of his Hebrew par ents that they arrange a marriage for him with a young woman at Timnah. Being a Philistine woman, his parents were very reluctant to do this, but they acceded to his request. On the way to Timnah, Samson encountered a lion and killed it with his bare hands, the first recorded feat accom plished showing his remarkable physi cal strength. As a result of this he; propounded a riddle to the guests at his wedding feast, stating that if they guessed it in seven days, he would give the thirty men linen under and outer garments, but if they were unable to guess it, they would each give him similar garments. The riddle was, "Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness." Unable to solve the puzzle, they persuaded Sam son's wife to get the answer from him. This she did and Samson went to Ashkelon, slew thirty men, took their garments from them and gave them to his guests. While he was gone to Ashkelon, his father-in-law for some unknown reason, gave his wife to one of the wedding guests. When Samson re turned and discovered this, he became enraged and, in order to get even, se cured three hundred foxes, tied fire brands to their tails and set themj loose in the wheat-fields of the PhiB istines. ' This act, of course, made the Philistines determined to - destroy Samson. In order to save them selves, three thousand men of Judah asked Samson to give himself to the Philistines. This he agreed to do, but when he, bound with ropes, came in sight of the Philistines, . he snapped his ropes as if they had been flax that was burned with fire. Apparently Samson failed to learn anything from his bitter experiences with the Philistines and the women of Philistine. We next hear of him in a harlot's house, with his enemies determined to get him. However, hearing of their plans, he escaped at midnight by taking the heavy gates of the city to the top of a hill near Hebron, some miles away. Soon thereafter, he met and fell desper ately in love with another Philistine woman, because she was willing to be the instrument through which he was shorn of his physical power and brought to his doom. Through her constant pleas and nagging, she final ly persuaded Samson to tell her the source of his remarkable strength. As soon as she learned from him his secret, she plotted with the lords of the Philistines to shear his hair, thus depriving him of his strength. As he slept, with his head on her knees, his hair was shaved off and his strength went from him. We cannot believe that Samson's powers lay in his long hair. His strength was God-given, but his hair was evidence of the vow he had made to God that he would dedicate his life to His service. When this link with God was broken, the phycho logical effect on Samson caused the loss of his strength. As a result, he was an easy prey to his enemies, be ing taken by them, his eyes put out, he was bound with fetters and made to grind corn in the prison house with the slaves. We know how Samson's life ended a miserable failure, dy ing with his enemies when, his strength having returned, he pulled down the supports to a great feast hall, causing the entire building to crumple upon the Philistines and himself. What a tragedy! A physical giant but a moral weakling! It brings us to a consideration of the question, "Who is strong?" This modern life demands strong men and women, but strength of character, which comes only through a life dedicated to God, is more necessary than mere physical strength.
