which neVted $547.43; and the
annual Donation Day which brou-
ght in $923.75 on ,tkmt day and
another $100 later.

served in May at which time the

les Town General Hospital was el-
so observed and a sterling silver

Loyalty
This was true of the famou~ Old
Testament hero named Samuel. He
was what in football language is
called a triple-threat man. He was
a priest, prophet, Judge, military
advisor; and tradition even ~ays
he was a writer, though of course
he did not live long enough to have
written the books that bear his
name in the Old Testament. (They
do not claim to have been written
by him.) Before his time there had
been no kings, and indeed not very
much unity among the tribes of
Israel. Under his leadership the
tribes were better united, and it
would not be much exaggeration
to say that Samuel "licked the
tribes into shape"---the shape of a
kingdom which he turned over to
the first king-by-title, Saul. It is
true that King Saul did not pay
attention to Samuel's wisdom; but
all the same, after the old prophet
was dead, Saul thought so much
of his advice that he actually tried
to conjure him out of his grave
just to hear him again.
W'hat was the secret of Samuel's
power over Israel ? l~rst of all it
was a contagious loyalty to the
one true God. It was a time when
most men worshipped many gods.
Even the Isrgelites did this. Samu'el
ran the risk of bein~ lobkeff/~t aS
a cranI< or a fanatic, but such was
his known loyalty to God thnt
when he challenged Israel to throw
away their idols, they did. There
must have been som~hing in his
life that made even those primitive
men sure that one-plus-God means
greatness.
Prayer
Another marked feature of
Samuel's life was his prayers. We
have on record the story of his very
first prayer. It was not a begging
request, not a "Gimme" prayer at
all. It was "Speak, Lord; for thy
servant heareth." Even as a boy
he would rather hear what God has
to say than to pour out words be-
fore God. How seldom it is that
people in praying give God any
chance to speak' The Lord seIdom
has much to say. to a n~an who in-
sists on talking every minute.
Another feature of Samuel's
prayer life was that he prayed for
others, even when those others had
turned their backs on him. Samuel
did his best to persuade the Israe-
lites not to have a king. He knew
that "power corrupts" and he pre-
dicted accurately the injustice and
tyranny which their future kings
would show. But they wanted a
king all the eame; yet in taking
leave of them Samuel was not
bitter. "Far be it from me that I
should sin against the Lord by
ceasing to. pray for you," he said.
Wisdom
Samuel was an example of what
we nowadays call a circuit Judge.
He held court in three cities, in-
cluding his home town. (This alone
is remarkable.) He was not (on the
one hand) the kind of religious per-
son who retires to a cell and there
spends his life in prayer. He was a
of affairs, trusted by high and
low. He was not (on the other
hand) the kind of religious person
who keeps his religioa with his
hym~book--in church, where he
takes it out and gets loud and
happy over it once ~ week--only
once. Samuel on the contrary was
a man w'noae religious faith Was
the fo~mdatlon of his wimtorm IRe-
Hgion did not lift him "out of this
world;~ it gave him i~sight into
the problems of this world. Hi~
one-plus-God llfe wa~ not for him-
self alone; God in life helped him
to be a help to others, perhaps one
strong reason why there are not
more per~on~ who deserve that
"One-plus-God" description, is that
too many of u~ want to have C_,od
.by the hand to ~erve o~v~el~
rather than other~

THE CHURCH FOR ALL . ..
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
Tire Church is the greatest factor on earth ~or
the building of character and good citizenship.
It is a storehouse of spiritual values. Without a
strong Church. neither democracy fior civilization
can survive. There are four sound reasons why
every person should attend services regularly and
support the Church. They are: (1) For his
own sake. (2) For his children's sake. (3) For
the sake of his community and nation. (4) For
the sake of the Church itself, which needs his
moral and material support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read },our Bible daily.

How often, when Dad would finish reading the Bible, he
hold the Book gently in his hands and look out the windoW.
I used to wonder what he saw---what Vision against
sun !
And once I blurted the tremendous question: "Daddy, can y0O
God ?"
He kept on gazing off into space, but a smile crossed hi!
"No, son, a man doesn't see God i He fee!s God. And rhea
out his window and sees the world in a different light."
I grew up to discover what he meant. His Bible--his
convictions have become mine. And when I look at the
through Dad's window.
One day my son will grow up...
