During the reign of t)te-fudges-, Israel was falling apart. Ttie purpose of God in having one dependable nation needed a centralized government and Samuel was God’s map to unify Israel. For such a task, training was needed.' I -- V. 20. ‘ Wherefore it came to pass wijen the tihie was come about' after Hannali had conceived, tljat she bore a sou and called his. name, j Samuel, saying because 1 have ask- i ed him from thej Lord!’* Hannah. ' childless for many years; felt the stittg of her condition and besought God prayerfully for a child, promising to .dedicate liiin to God and his wxirk. The training of u child begins before it is born. * i V. 24. ‘And when she had weaned Mid, she took hiin up with lier with three bullocks, and one ephah I of flour, and,a hottie of wiuA, and brought unto the hopse of the Lord in Shiloh; and the child was i young.” The early draining of Samuel: was in the home, where the right emphasis' belongs;? but the place of worship is an Important , placet or further training; this is also God’s play.

him to the Lord; as long as he Ijveth he shall\be lent to the Lord. And he worshiped the Lord.” As translated. “He whom I have obtained by petition shall be returned.” Emphasis in spiritual training was placed on worship. Let it be known that man is x the only creature with a capacity to worship, and not to worship is to fail in one’s best training—the spiritual training. ' \ \ V.l. “And the child Samuel ministered unto the Lord before Eli. And\the word of the Lord was precious in those days; there was no open vision.” Samuel by practice learned the ways of worship. The word of the Lord was “precious” in the sense that it was very rare. Direct revelation from God had almost ceased, so low was the splr* itual sense; hence, God did n6t speak through visions. Samuel was trained to give an upward climb. V 5.16,17. “And Eli called Samuel, and said. Samuel, my son. And he answered. Here am J. And he said. What is it that the Lord hath said unto thee? I pray thee hide it not from me; God do so to and more also, if thou hide any thing from me of all the things that he sa|d unto Eli had failed to train his sops right and they became very wicked; for this God would cull Eli into account; S|amuel, knowing this, shrank from telling; it to Eli. -V;IS. “And Samuel told him every w’hft, and hid nothing from him- And he said. It is the Ixjrd. Let him do what seemeth good.” Eli .confessed his guilt and - was ready for the_penalty; at* heart Eli was still faithful to God. V. 19. “And Samuel grew; and the Lord was with him. and did let none of his words fall to the ground.” Because God was with Samuel, he grew his soul. Our big-gc.-t business is, to grow’ souls. V.2U. “And all Israel . . . knew that Samuel was established to be a prophet of the Loixl.” Samuel’s spiritual stature commanded .respect universally and he was now in position to be a prophet with the needed messages for .Israel. Samuel was trained tor a purpose. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced- by the Division of Christian E-ducatioh, National Courtcil of the?

Lesson Prayer: Lesson prayer: We-are grateful for a mind capable of learning. We pray for such attention to the learning process of children and youth that the spiritual outreaelies ' may -be well balanced with the mental unfolding.

Our Common Responsibility General Dwight Eisenhower says "Men of divergent views in the .country live in peace together because they share together certain common aspirations! which are more important than their differences, The (yommon fe&ponsibili|.y of all Americans is ta become effective, helpful participants in a way of life that blends and harmonizes the fiercely competitive demands of the individual and society. Our American heritage is threatened as much by our own indifference as by the most unscrupulous office or-by the most powerful foreign threat. The ; future of this republic is |n , the hands of the American voter.” . The inner life must be right before righteous expressions have any value.
