glorify god in family life such men are often met with in christian ser vice who possess many amiable qualities but are sadly weak where they should be strong we cannot well overlook chapter 3 verses 3 to 10 which lead up to the lesson there we have the account of the lords revelation of himself to the boy samuel who up to that time had not had the definite experience of knowing the lord for himself this is what we today would call con version we need not wonder that at first samuel did not understand whose voice it was that called hinr it was eli who sensed the actual con ditions and instructed samuel how- to answer if he should hear that voice again lh historical setting eli occupied the double position of high priest and judge in israel for forty years from about 11s2 bc to 1141

watching and waiting for news anrious lest some ill would befall the cherished symbol of gods presence among his people verse 14 the noise of this tumult the comittf of the messeu ger produced great

occurred verse 17 the ark of god is taken heavy tidings reached his ears there had been a great philis tine victory his two ungodly sons had fallen in their sins and gods ark was in the enemies hands verse is his neck brake the shock was too mucn for the vener- ablo old man he swayed on his seat and fell backward as he realized the full imoprt of the message his neck was broken by the fall thus
