In each man was the triumph of
heredity over environment, for
Moses, when he had come to years,
by faith refused to be called the
son of the pharaoh's daughter,
choosing rather to suffer the af-
flictions of his people, while Sam-
uel kept himself free from the in-
fluences that had destroyed the
character of Ell’s sons and that
had, apparently, weakened the
character of Eli himself.

CHICEEHER
859245 rmia
By WM. E. GILROY, DD
Editor of The Congregationalist
The period from Moses to Sam-
uel represents a time of struggle
for liberty and of development
and construction in the life of a
people, from which individuals and
pations may derive much instruc-
tion and spiritual counsel for to-
day.
How different in their outward
aspect are the lives of these two
men who stand respectively at the
beginning and at the end of the
quarter’s lessons! Yet how simi-
lar in the matter of their essential
call to leadership and in the depth
of consereration with which they
gave themselves to their tasks!
Both men had pre-eminently good
mothers, wise. Intense, full of con-
secration. But both men passed
quickly, as children, from the di-
confronted Samuel from that which
Mose had undertaken. The task of
Mose was that of a deliverer. a
great military commander and a
pioneer. Samuel’s task was that of
the priest, prophet and statesman.
His work was that of spiritual or-
ganization or of spiritual restora-
tion. Often the latter task is much
harder than the former, just as ac-
tion is always easier than effec-
tive organization.
Between these extreme types of
leadership and the different tasks
that they faced were a group of
good mn who partook deeply of the
strong elements of both Moses and
Samuel—Joshua, Caleb, Gideon;
each was necessary in his place,
and each made his contribution to
the work of upbuilding that Sam-
uel more than any other man ac-
complished.
Dawn of Realization
Prior to Samuel there had been a
racial and religious consciousness,
binding the 'people together in the
hope of attaining land and liberty’.
Now that they had won a foothold
In the country there was the task
of devehping a national conscious-
ness annational institutions. It
was thMask to which Samuel ad-
dressed himself.
But for him it was the work
rather of a religious leader than of
a statesman. He sought to develop

Dear Santa Claus:
The thing that I am telling you about
is a cute little breakfast room table and two
chairs. They are white trimmed with light
blue, the little table sides fold down. On
one side there is a little little Dutch girl,
> on the other side is a little Dutch boy; at
each end there are little Dutch boys. On
one chair there is a little picture of Jack
and Jill. On the picture is “Jack JM
went up the hill.” On the other chair is
a picture of a boy in a tub; on the picture
was “For the life of a sailor.” The first
word was rubbed off. I think it should
be “ME for the life of a sailor.”

God’a will. That haa always been
a difficult or impossible task where
individuals have not already come
under the power of God.
Samuel aaw some of his own
plans and purposes partially de-
feated in the demand of the people
for a king. They wanted a mili-
tary leader rather than a prophet
of God. Moreover, while this was
in a sense the beginning of the
strength of their national life, it
proved ultimately the way of their
national undoing.
If the whole people had had the
▼lalon of Samuel, there might have
bean for Israel a very different
spiritual history and possibly a
very different course of material
history as well.
Samuel’s Problems
The problems that Samuel faced
are very much the problems that
we face in modern nations—ths
task of bringing patriotism, citi-
zenship and national life under the
dominance of aplritual vision and
deals. To make the love of coun-
try as largo as the love of God and
the love of one’a fellow men every-
where, thia is the modern phase
of the task that Samuel faced in
ancient Israel. In a sense also it
is the (ask that confronted Moses
in leading the people out from
bondage into the freedom and
beauty of a larger life established
in spiritual ideals.
