PAGE SEVEN 1 !iv.::;i;: : J tecliiarlsGs GOD PCTAirS A LEADE3 International Sunday School Lesson J For July 87 Memory Selection: "The child Samuel grew on. and increased in favor with thj Lord, and also with men."-! Samuel 2:26. Lesson Text: 3:1, 16-21; 4A.' I Samuel 1:20, 24-28; . fThe louoni for this quarter Jump from character ; to . character in Is-' reel's early history and this week we I are considering iSamuel, one of thel most outstanding prophets and leaden from the time ..pfJMoses to bis own I The books of Samuel were orginal ly placed together one d -jWere probably arranged in very much their present shape about 800 year IB. C. Their subject matter is the record of the history of Israel during .the lives of Samuel, and the first two Mngs, Saul nd David,' a period of about one hundred years, about eleven centuries before Christ i: .'" -; Samuel's background is an inter esting one. The household of Elkanah was a very unhappy one. ' tie had two wives,; Hannah and Peninmlh, the Is raelites practicing .polygamy at that time. Hannah was humiliated by her failure to have a child and IPeninnah seems to have been heartless and cruel enough to taunt her about it The husband seemingly.; was partial to Hannah, thus , increasing the bitter rivalry between the two women. Women of this day rarely take the time to consider the many blessings which have come to them, particular ly because of the Christian religion. Polygamy has been one of the evils ended by this faith. Woman's status has constantly improved, the, dignity of her position as wife and mother has been ever increasing and, in every way, Christianity has been a peculiar blessing ; to her. Quite naturally, then, women have often been the mainstay of out moral and religious principles. Once especially7 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 the service of Jehovah, if permitted to bring him into the world, and that he should become a Nazarite, a man ex clusively giving his Ue to holy du ties, recognized and set apart' from the material affairs' of, human life. Eli prophetically promised that her prayer would be answered. "Hannah prayed for a child from God," says ; A." C. Dixon; "that she might give him to God. Praying for gifts that we may give them back to God has in it a high and noble mo tive.. Do you (pray for money that you may give it back to God? ' If so wealth will never, be your . ruin. Do you pray for success in' your life work that you may lay it.at the feet of Je sus?' If so, the largest possible suc cess will be a blessing." : , , Hannah did not foriether promise when she became the happy mother of a man-child. "Noble in spirit of en durance in " time of trial," observes Prof. W. F. daikie, . Hannah is stiU more noble in the spirit ot self-denial in the time of prosperity; It was no common grace uiat could so complete ly 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 -him there, although 'during the; subsequent years this Hebrew mother by many little acts, indicated the love and yearning m ner heart v '. ; The call of the young boy, at the tender ago ox twelve,, is ootn inter esting and in?: lifeKuJWihHe nln tering to the old priort.and perform ing the duties connected with the care of the temple, fee youth, in a ore heard the voice of the Lord. . ThL ing It to be the call of EH, Samuel answered, "Here am a." 'After t..is had occurred the third time, Eli real ised that Jehovah was speaking to the lad and advised him to listen. Thus, the visions came to Samuel, rather than to the high priest lEty, :' '' As-ed what Jehovah had said to him, Cnuel answered fr?tVy and told him every thing even if' i. prVcy about the dowrJill of ' a priest lmself and his hoti 'old.
