I Creamed tn| ■ Comments |, __ 'Creamed Comments on the Sunday school lesson, Samuel, Judge and Prophet, I Samuel 7; 5-17, tor Sunday, August 3. \ Israel as a people were divided, unfaithful to God, and a prey to enjmies. Samuel stood almost alone as a man of prayer and faith in God. He commanded attention as he served in the capacity of prophet, priest apd judge, and succeeded in restoring Israel to favor with V. 5. "And Samuel said, Gather ail • Israel to Mizpeh. and 'I ‘ will pray for you unto the Lo¥d.” Israel was in sUtfh great peril that Saitiuei was willingly accepted as their advocate 1 , pleading their cause before God. SO often when ill else fails, people .turn to God. But . such repentance lacks stability. ■ V.ti. “And they gathered together to Mizpeh and drew and poured it out before the Lord, and fasted on that day, and said there. We have sinned against the Lord. And Samuel judge the people at Mizpeh." The pouring oqt of water which was a valuable asset, symbolized repentance. They were so in earnest that they abstained from eating. \ They uttered the proper jcry, ”Vi’e sinned agaftist God." All sin is against God though it often has to do with wrongs with and against men. V.J. "And w(ien the Philistines heard that the children of Israel, were gathered together to Mizpeh, the Lords of tM Philistines went up against Usrael." The Philistines sensed quickly a possible conflict and they would ! strike at (med. The pnemy our soiils) acts quickly when any\movp is made toward God. V.S. "Ami the children said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto the Lin'd .our God for us. that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines.” Though wandering away from God, Israel still recognized the Lord asj their God. They needed the prayer of a godly man. Hov. much we need to : pray for ourselves and others. In fact, prayer is so important that Jesus em-

phasizi?d the need of it and taught his disciples to pray. V. 9. “And Samuel took a suckling lamb, and offered it for a burnt offering wholly unto the Lord; and Samuel cried unto the Lord for Israel and th.e Lord heard him.” The animal was. entirely consumed by the fire to indicate the consecration of thd people to God. All was given to God and no part reserved. This is entire surrender needed in Christian experience, It fs then that God speaks and or ly- then. V.lO. "And as Samuel was offering up [the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel;, but the Lord thundered with a) great thunder on that day upon Whe Philistines and discomfited ('hem; and they were smitten before Israel." God answered prayeit by his intervention; this gave (Ije needed faith in Jehovah. Vs.| l s 12 “And the men of Israel went olut of Mizpeh and pursued the I’hjlistines, and smote them, till ! they came to Bethcar. Then. Sain uel I took a stone and set it between Mizpeh and Shen, and called' it Ebenezer, saying. Hitherto hath the I*Qrd helped us,” Memorials are needed that people do not forget God. The Holy Communion service is a memorial that we. mpyj not forget Christ as our Saviour.! \V.I3. [“And so the Philistines were subdued.” it is written that we are! more than conquerors through J Christ who loved us. Following Israel’s sincere repentance and tntire surrender, there was peace instead of war. Here is the suggeutgd way to stop war—-re-pentance and surrender. But it will taiko a lot of praying to accomplish th|s. ’j/ V.lsj “Agd Samuel judged Israel all /the days of his life.” Peace without justice is a failure.

Freedom Is Religion The word most often spoken in behalf of our country is freedom orJiberty. It is the basis of political campaign speeches. It is made a slogan for our war efforts. Freedom was born in this nation and is the basis of constitution. But too many do not understand the words of Weddell Willkie, “American liberty is a religion.” And so it is that it abounds in

To overcome difficulties one peeds to proceed with all the courage he can command. My son was driving his car ;one night down a hill when he saw men who proved later to be robbers making j?reat efforts to stop him. He surmised thefr purpose, put on the gas, and they fled out of the way. Dryden, the English poet, said, “Presence of mind and courage in distress are more than armies to procure success.’ 1 | Wit I ■ —a 'wLa I Wisdom wl Laws For Our God An old-fas,hiondd minister, driving a horse and buggy along a country road, and accompanied by & young man, very modern and exact, finally, in the course of their said, “So you object to the Ten Commandments, eh?” “No, not exactly, but a fellowhates to have a ‘shall’ or a ‘shan’t’ flung in his face every little while.’’ The minister wae' clucking to his horse and smiling to himself, when suddently, the youth called out. “You’ve taken the wrong road: didn’t you see the signpost?” "Yes, but I hate to be told by an arbitrary signpost to go this way or that.” The red faced youth laughed in embarrassment as\ they- turnted back. Clericus bays; Clericus says: “Human nature changes very little. How many people! cling to certain ritualistic practices or to certain sacred customs without having the real fellowship with Tlod jn their hearts! I How often do people look upon 1 the Bible as the Israelites looked 'upon the ark! They keep a copy of it arourid the housq as a sort of good-luck piece to ward off lightning or some, other kind of catastrophe. Lesson Prayer: Lesson prayer; We pray for the grace and power to be overcomers as we are beset by! enemies of our souls all around its. Grant that our consecration and faithfulness to God may be so perfect that no loop hole will be permitted for the incoming of the least evil. Graht that all our battles may be the Lord's battles so that with him we may go forth as conquerors. Happiness is a perfuime which you cannot pour on others wittibut getting a-few drops on yourself.—Emerson. • „ ? -t; \ ' The reason God asks for a full surrender of our lives is that He may be free to give us infinitely more in return. i \ Go to the church : of your choice next Sunday.
