SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON FOR DEC. 14 THE BOY SAMUEL. I Sam., iii:l-14. Secielai of American Society of Re ligious Hducatlon INTRODUCTION. The book fiom which our lesson Is taken, was doubtless w illicit bv tho eminent piophet whoso naino It he us, oi uiidci his diioctlon. He begins with a Inlet account ot his pat ents (Cli , 1.2). Ills mothei, accoidlng to the spiiit ol tho women of tho ago (Gen, wll'lii), icgiided heisolf gitntly inflicted, because toi a llmo childless (Ch , i:."). On ono ol tint aiiimil ii-lts to Shlloo (Josh , Aill:l), tho national seat ot government and i elision, sho piaod e.unestly lor a son (Ch , 1:11), piumlsing to dedicate blm to God. Her pinyor was ansvveied. In the com so of time Samuel was bom, his n imo signifying, "asked of God " ralth fill to hor vow, when ho was weaned, she took him to Dli, then the miest and jmlgo of Ihiael. with such oltei lugs uh tho law io(iiluil (Dent, ll 5-7). lu piespnt Ing him sho luol'o torth (Ch , 11:1-11) In hlidilj Impissionci' woids, piomptcd by Ilia Mill 11 of God. At thut time tho sons ot Rll woio grossly Immoral, using tno PiIvIIomh ot tho encted ofdcu to gratlly their unholy Impulses (Ch , ii:.'J), bilng Ing sonov to their father, who, though he umunstinttd, did not contiol thum (Prov., l,li). Tills facnudal called for speedy i e loi in in tho admlnlstt.ition of icllgloiis oidluaucos. MINISTRY When God undei takes a gicat woih, ho usually begins with a lit tle child and its mother, l'or pioof, noto tho ca'o of JIoscs, tho liberator and livvglver (R., 11,9); of John, tho fore i (inner (Luke, i;7i); of Jesus, tho Christ (Matt , i:Jl), and of Timothy, Paul's ns tistaut (II Tim., Il:1"0. It Is dllflcult to lefoim a man to tr, Bform tho agent of Satan Into nn Instr ment of ilghteoufi ncss. Tho best men aio grown (Psalm, l;J). Year by ear adding to their beauty and stiength, thoy coma at last, poised and symmotrlcal, to their placo and work able to summon nil their powprs. And so Samuel, after a pious mother's care had done its utmost, was to be put under further pieparatlou for his career, to moot tho needs of the time. Ho hart llttlo duties to peifoun, such as trimming limps and opoulng and closing doors, In ono sense amlnlstiy for God. And jet tho work slgnllled moio to him than to any othoi. It gavo opportunity to medi tate and piny, tho two issontlalH In building ti no and stable character I Tim , Ivslo), Under tho Influence of the sane, tuaiy (Psalm, nxvII:4), in tho midst of Its rich and lustiiictlva smbo!lsm, tho boy might develop Into tho gient rofoi nier VISION Tho tlmo Is not less Impoit ant than tlio placo in tho pioductloii of a man. When ono appears w(th teitaln abilities thcio must bo need of him, or ho can do but llttlo. Many men have seemed to coino too late or too catty Into tho woild's hlstoiy to bo hugely useful. Hvcn the advent of Chjlst was timed, (Onl , lv:l). Thu season of Samuel's np pearanra wa3 oppoitunc. liestdes tho im. morality among ofiicinls, uhcady men tioned, nnother fact )iiepaicd for him, thoio ''was no open vision." God had promised to rulso un men who should speak foi blm (Numb, -il.0), to whom Ho would glvo His spirit. Rut many eais had passed without buch pien. After tho death of Moses, only heio and there ono had been so endued, and ho guvo only an occasloiul iiiesisiiBC, Uelli'lou had da- geneiatcd Into formalism Prov., slxils. Good men, Knddened by provnlllng wick edness csteomed tho word of tho Lord ns cxticmelv precious, nnd anxiously and prnycifully waited for one who by open "vision" should obtain fuither knowledge of God, and come with authority to his coimtivtncn. Their prayeis woio belim answcied. When Hannah's son Is icudy, the nation will bo icady. When ho spooks, men will listen. Ho will be tho man for tho time OCCABION.-At lust the time in lived when God would mako Ills Ihst dhect nnd formnl nppioach lo Samuel. Kiom tho first Ho hud given thoso gentlo In fluonccH of tho sphlt, which wcio ginntoj to nil niPii (Titus, 11:11). Now Ho pioposes a larger nnd fuller communication. Tho boy, who had been a moio nMstont lo 1111, must know what will ultimately lou der him u pilnelpil, acting without lofei enco lo Rll. Wo do not know Samuel's pieclso age. It bus been genpinlly as sumed that ha had t cached his twelfth car (Luke, 1I1J), tnnsmueh na nt that tlmo nn Isrnplltlsh boy becamo tho sou of tho law, Tho night season was chosen for tho Divine nppioach, a most Impies slvo time, tho gencinl quietness and tho darkness being fuvoinble to tho soul's communion with Its Maker (Psalm, lxxvlhiJ). The lnmp ot God, symbol of His presence, was burning In the tabor uncle, according to tho oidlniinco of Moses (Lev., xxlv:2-J). Rll had laid down In his accustomed plncb. Tho Inlhmlly of age, indlented bv falling vision, was upon him and ho had thciefoio gone ently to test. lu an adjoining loom Samuel hnd also found his touch as usual. Tho old man and tho llttlo child, tho former 'servant near his end, tho now servant about lo enter upon his mission, alone at night In God's house. Such was tho oc casion when a now chapter was to bo opened In llio history of Israel. CALLING. Whito Ijlug thus upon his bed, Samuel heard his namo spoken. Was It a. leal voice? Did his car catch tho sound? Or wns It a Hpitltual Impression, a communication to tho soul, which, had another been near, ho could not hao heard? On this point there bos been much unprofitable discussion. It muttcis not whether tho word was ndeliosaed to the Inner or tho outer car (Isa., xllll:l). It Is enough that It wns heard. Once, twice, tin ice, "Samuel" was spoken, und afteiward, "Samuel," "Snmued," twite uttered, as It to uiousc tho mote cuieful attention nnd scenic tho more speedy re sponse. It was God who spoke, calling His scivnnt, bilngiug loiwatd a new woikcr In His kingdom In this way by dhect appeal tho might v ones ot all ages have been set apnrt No-ih (Gen, 11:1). tho pitt liucli of tho Hood, Abiam (Gen, II:1), tho father of tho faithful: Joshua (Jen", i:l), tho great captain; tho piophcti (Jer., P2) and the apostles (Acts, lx ")). S.imui'l, given In ansvvei to a mother's) prayer and eonsecialcd betoio birth, Is to be added to tho company of thoso who shall stand for ttuth and righteousness. God selects His woikmoa (Rom, Mil). Rlesscd Is lie who Is called eaily in life " RESPONSE -Samuel s niiMvu. "lleio am 1." bin sting foith bcfoie leaving his couch, lovcilcd bis chaiactei. Ho was In ids plnco waiting foi a summons, ansloiis to do. Thoso eminent eiualitlci wcio In him which arc nt the basis of all noble manhood (Matt, wlvll) Suppos ing that Rli had spoken, Samuel inn through the ap.ntment, to be Intoimod lo the eonttniy, and to bo dhected to his bed Again the voice caine, with llko lesponso and lesult. A third tlino be he.ud and hastened, sajlng with suiprl'O und emphasis, "Thou dlds t call " Until this visit, Rll had not undei stood what hid tiansphcd. Ho may havo supposed tint theio was some disturb inco in slum ber thiough dlsoidoied ital functions. Now he percoives that theie was a Div ine manifestation Pet haps lecent com munications made to him were lecalled (Ch , li-27-,13). Ho theiefoio dhecled tho boy to Ho down oncu moio, nnd told him what to say If called a fouith time. God intended in this way to teach Samuel leveienco for autlioilty, as Jesus did (Matt, viil:!). Again canio the sum mons. "Speak, Lord, thy seivant hcur eth," was the answer. In that ono ben tenco Samuel recognized tho person who spoke, nnd acknowledged bis readiness to servo, and made It ixsslblo for Goel to do with him according to his pleasure. KNOWLEDGE The seventh versa of our lesson sheds light on tho conduct of Samuel. Tho marginal lendorlng Is a better expression than tho oilglnal,"Tlius did Samuel beforo he knew the Loid and before tho word of tho Lord was levealed unto him." This accounts for his tineo visits to Ell, and explains why ho did not lecognlzo the voice ho did not know God. But, bv implication tho veiso shows Samuel's stato alter that night ho did know God. Ho was bi ought Into personal acquaintance with Jehovah, a higher state than tint enjoyed by most men, even tho ilghteous Hint state cannot bo d03cilbed, but it wns evidently one of great blessedness (John , nvII.1) It was undoubted! tho plan of the Al mighty to hi lug tho enlho laco Into such Intimacy with Himself. Adam began thus (Gen . 11:10), but fell away by turns giesslon (Gcu , UPS). Subsequently, ns tho centuiles parsed, heie and theio men lotinned nnd know their Maker. Among the inoro Illustrious of these wcio Hnoeh (Gen , v.2.2) and Abiam (James, ll:J3), ot the olden time Such wcio the wiltois of Scripture. This dhect knowledge of God piepaied ,a man lo bring piuit.viug and elevating influences to his follow -men. JDDGMENT.-Now that Samuel has heaid, iccognlzcd, and nuswoied tho tall, what will God say to him? Oi, lnlhei, Inasmuch as many things will bo com municated In tho com. so of tho voais (I Sam, 111.21), whit will God wiy Hist? Is It puidcnt to tiust wclshty subjects to u child'.' If ho Knows Ood. Is ho piepaied to lecclvo such messages? When tho Div ine enteis tho human licuit it piullles nnd expands, A child with God is wlhoi than a 'man without Hlni (Eotl , lv:H), On that night God made Known to Samuel Ills pioposed ludgniontn upon tho housa of Ell, His purpobo to lemovo tho pi lest hood fiom his family. Ho ulso disclosed llio leusou for this pmpobe, tho notoilom Immoialily of Eli's sons. Why tell thh to Samuel? It wns a ety timely lesson lor tho boy. Ho needed to Know that God's intulbtois must bo holy (Lav,, xl:S) that Hophni and Phlneus weie injected on account of their sins, and ho needed above all to adjust his own conduct nnd character not accoidlng to tho looso pint tlces then prevailing, but accoidlng to the higher standards which God had set up. Moreover, nlthough there Is no rec ord to that effcot, Samuel had reason to Infer that his piomotlon would follow EH's re4ectlon.

EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN. llvangcllcal lutheiun chuich Third Holiday Footwear To Which We Can Point With Pride. It's a pleasure to call your attention to our line of Holiday footwear because we know you will not be dis appointed when you come to see it. We know that you will, with us, appreciate the rare judgment dis played by our manufacturers in producing correct foot wear for street dress, for rough weather, for semi-dress, for full dress and for solid home comfort, and at prices which are decidedly reasonable aye, closely crowding onto the bargain line. POINTS IN L. R. D. They reveal a style and individuality of their own that all good dressers appreciate. Thev support the arch and make walking a pleasure. For ease and elegan e they are unrivaled. A full line ot the popular styles in all sizes, widths and leathers. We believe that the L. R. D. & M. SHOE pr-sents a better appearance and will wear better than any shoe sold at the same price, and that few shoes at any price will gi'e better satisfaction. THOSE YELLOW STAMPS They are the best or you would not bo able to get them heie. You may have your home filled with furnitute, pictuies and all soits of home decorations, but ou must have shoes, you must have food and you must have clothing. All these necessities you can se em e with Yellow Stamps. It's the system that saves jou money, because you can secute with it articles that you need and would have to pay cash for if you weie not saving Yellow Stamps. Sunday in Advent; Gospel.
