away from the conflicts of those jay3 from wars and courts and armies to the simple and sincere piety of a country home like the story of naomi and ruth it takes us among the- common folk of israel and then from the home in ramah to the temple at shiloh we may very well believe that there were many such homes in israel and that from them came very much of what was best in the life and in the thoughts of that remarkable people to whom the world ewes so much we are reminded again as we read of the infinite possibilities for good which are bound up in the rela tions which exist between a good mo ther and a child samuel the child of hannahs prayer educated to the priesthood called to be a prophet chosen as judge by the people witness ing to a pure life by his nazirite vow finally maker and counselor of kings stands forth in bible history as one of its purest and noblest men reck oned by the jew3 in later eges as first of the great prophets whose inspired teaching still stirs the hearts of men i a chili of prayer 1 128 the place called ramathaimzophim or ramah of the zuphites was some distance north of jerusalem in the ephraimite country here was the home of elkanah and his two wives the childless hannah and her rival peninnah who provoked ier sore for to make her fret the national sanc tuary where eli and his sons minister- as priests was at shiloh and thi ther this family went once a year to worship and to sacrifice unto the lord of hosts the custom at such annual festivals was for an ox r a sheep to be slain fat portions of the meat to be burned with fragrant spices upon the altar a portion given to the priest and the remainder of the meat served in a sacrificial meal at which the family and their guests would be present on these occasions hannah offered special and very earnest jrayers for the gift of a son promising to consecate him j to tho service of the lord the vow referred to in verse 11 was that of tho nazirite described in numbers chap g it was taken sometimes for life sometimes for a definite shorter period and seems to have been intend ed as a protest ainst drunkenness and other evil practices associated with the canaanite altars and frequent ly imitated at the altars of jehovah in the cases of samson and samuel the vow was taken b the parents for the child and was regarded as binding for life hannahs earnestness of prayer was misunderstood by the priest eli but when she told him of her trouble of mind rind great desire he gave her his blessing in fulfil nent ot her vow she took t child to lhc temple while he was still very young and left him there in the care c fli to be granted to the lord it is remarkable that he was accented and trained as an attend snt at f teipe and later became i priest though not a member of the tribe of levi i he law which restrict ed the temple ministry to levites may have been of latn origin or perhaps not yet strictly enforced ii a song of thanksgiving 2 110 some doubt ha een expressed as to whether or not tiis song could have been composed by hannah but with the exception of the reference to a king in v 10 there s nothing in it that she might not have said it must 1 remembered that the language is that of poctiy by her enemies she may mean her rval whom she exhorts to talk no more so exceedingly proud ly and in v 5 she may in he most general way be dwelling upon her own experience the ton was ascribed to hannah by the editors of the books of samuel and represents the faith of an early writer moffat t translate v 3 as follows no more of your proud vaunts no mouthing of your taunts for the eternal is a god who knows it all and what men do he judges the close parallel a luke l4s53 to this song should be noticed there in the magnificat mary pours out her soul in

v as still burning and where the ark of god was heard what he thought must be the voice of eli calling him and ran to wait upon him but eli had not called him three times this was re peated and the
