SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
THE REVIVAL UNDER SAMUEL
> For March 2, 1924.—1 Sam. 1-7.
BY DR. MARION McH. HULL
Golden Text: “Direct your hearts
unto Jehovah, and serve Him only.’’
1 Sam. 7:3.
,r “In those days there was no king
in Israel: every man did that which
was right in his own eyes.” So ends
the Book of the Judges. And of
course, since every man did that
which was right in his own eyes,
the result was chaos, misery, sin,
degradation, disaster. One of the
hardest things for humanity to learn
is the fact that man is not capable
of.working out his own destiny, that
Uris heart is essentially wrong, and
therefore his life must be essentially
wrong until his heart has been
changed, until he has handed over
his life to the keeping of another
Who is wiser and stronger than he.
Nor has man learned that truth yet;
no League of Nations nor World
Court, nor peace tribunal can ever
solve the world’s problems. This old
world needs a king, the One who
came and was rejected; but who is
coming again. Until men give Him
their hearts and put themselves un
der His leadership,’ and let Him
Work out their problems, nothing
but disaster can be the result. Man
is. incapable of self-government.
It was in such times as these that
the last and greatest of the judges
arose? He was also the first of the
prophets, the leader of that tran
sition period from the people as a
very loosely-formed federation of
tribes to a nation. He was the link
that closed up the old order and set
Up the new. In a time when every
Anan did that which was right in his
Lown eyes, there ■was needed a man
■Fho was in such close touch with
God that he could discover what
was right in God’s eyes and make
this known to the people. Such a
man must have at least one pre
dominant characteristic; he must be
a man of prayer. How eminently
fitting, therefore, that this man of
prayer should be the child of prayer!
A Mother’s Prayer
The man whom God used at such
a time was the result of his moth
er's prayers. The circumstances
•were these: A man of the tribe of
Levi, who lived in one of the Levit
ical towns in the hill country of
Ephrium, had two wives; and as
Usual under such circumstances,
there was unhappiness in his home.
One of them was the mother of a
itumber of children, and the other
had none. This was the beginning
of the trouble, for to be barren was
considered a disgrace to every He
brew wife; for every one that
she ftinight be the mother of the
promised seed. Things might have
not been so bad if Penrirnah, the
fruitful wife, had not been of such
a 'despicable spirit; but she constant
ly threw her barrenness, her curse,
in,Hannah’s face. And to show how
despicable she was. she took par
tfdtilar delight in doing this at the
annual feast, when the whole fam
ily' went up to Jerusalem to wor
ship. She was very far from a spir
it of worship. It is possible that
Elkanah, her husband, was partly
responsible for this, innocently; for
seeing how distressed Hannah was,
he would her twice as much
aS he gave Penninah, and show her
more attentions. Penninah, of
course, resented this, particularly
.that he should favor the barren one
mpre than the fruitful one. And so
the whole thing was more and more
of ’a! mess.

But this very situation was the
thing that drove Hannah to her
knees. If Penninah had been half
way decent to her she would never
have prayed as she did; but Pen
ninah’s bitter and open hostility
amounting almost to persecution at
the annual feast made Hannah cry
out in bitterness of soul and con
tinue praying even after her lips
could no more utter the cravings of
her heart.
Eli, the degenerate old priest, saw
this. To show how utterly degen
erate the people had become—for,
“like people, like priest,” the life of
the priest reflected the character of
the people—their representative
couldn't distinguish an earnest
worshipper from a drunken woman!
But, marvelous grace of God, He
used this degenerate old priest as
His mouthpiece and told Hannah
that her prayer had been heard. And
in due process of time after Hannah
and Elkanah went back to their
home, the child of prayer was born
and given a name which marked
him—“asked of God,” Samuel. No
wonder Samuel became the man of
prayer that he was.
His (Jhildhood’ B Atmosphere
There was another element in his
preparation that had a marked in
fluence she exerted over him during
he was weaned—about five years,
and then brought him to live in the
temple at Shiloh. The kind of in
fulence she exerted over him during
those impressionable years of his
early childhood may be imagined by
studying carefully her song when
she presented him before Hehovah.
That song was the outgrowth of her
life—it is wholly a song of praise to
Jehovah, recounting what He is and
what He is doing and what He will
do. Her heart had been basking in
the sunlight of Jehovah's presence,
or she could never have given utter
ance to that song. And of course,
she had been talking of Him to that
boy Cf hers, crooning lullabies to
him of Jehovah, telling him bedtime
stories of Jehovah and Jehovah’s
dealings (a far better subject, by the
way, than the bedtime stories of to
day). quieting his childish fears with
assurances of Jehovah’s presence
and power, and implanting In his
childish heart the ambition to grow
up to be Jehovah’s man.
Then as soon as she could leave him
to another she brought him to Shi
loh, and true to her vow, lent him to
Jehovah for life; reserving to her
self the privilege and pleasure of
supplying "his temporal needs from
year to year, while he, the child, miir
isterd unto Jeovah before Eli, the
priest.
The shocking degeneracy of the
sons of Elk undoubtedly made a hor
rible impression on the growinig boy.
Had it been less open and flagrant,
it might have done him harm; but
it was too disgusting to be danger
uos. The drunken sot doesn’t do
the growing youth harm in our day;
seeing him in his degradation and
filth will never make a drunkard of
your boy. but far more dangerous
because more subtle is the influence
of the respectable gentleman who
drinks but never gets drunk.
In the face of such outrageous
conduct the child Samuel “grew on
and increased in favor both with Je
hovah and also with men." Then
God spoke to him and revealed to
him His will. He had somebody now
EARM EDUCATION
BY DR. ANDREW M. SOULE
Facts About the Laredo Soy Bean
C. C. E., Adel, Ga., writes:
“We wish to try some Laredo
soy beans this year, and as we
have never grown any, we would
appreciate your advice in the
matter. When should they be
planted and how much seed to
sow per acre? What kind and
how much fertilizer should be
used?”
The Laredo soy bean Is one of the
best strains we have cultivated at
the college. It has been tested in
our demonstration field for the past
six years. During that time it made
an average yield of 1.51 tons of hay
per acre and approximately nineteen
bushels of seed. The O-too-tan made
a larger yield of hay, but not so
much grain. The Southern Prolific
made considerably less hay, but
somewhat more grain. Ag a general
purpose bean, the Laredo seems to
stand, therefore, near the top of the
list. It Is a fine-stemmed, fairly up
right growing variety. Therefore, it
makes a superior quality of hay.
This is an important matter to bear
in mind. It also has a sufficiently
upright character of growth to make
it easily harvested. The seeds are
very small. Hence, if the grain is
dropped four to six inches apart in.
the drill and the drills are made
three feet apart, only about two
quarts of seed are required to plant
an acre. Some people have obtained
good stands from the use of a quart
through whom He could speak and
The Ark Taken
During all of these years the Phil
istines had been oppressing Israel.
Samson had judged Israel, but he
had not delivered them from the
hand of the Philistines. He had
shoVrn Israel that God was still
strong, but he had led Israel to God.
Ever and anon they would resist,
but he rebuffed. One day when
Samuel was still a young man, but
was beginning to be recognized as
one who was in favor with God and
to be God's prophet, the Israelites
assayed to throw off the -yoke of the
Philistines. They gathered in battle
array at Ebenezer, but were smitten
before the Philistines. Then they
sent to Shiloh foi’ the ark, thinking
that would be some magical
power in that gold-covered box. Eli
was too weak to prevent them from
taking it away; he had no business
letting it go without God’s direction.
The ark, without God, was power
less, of course, and the battle went
against Israel. The ark was taken,
the sons of Eli slain, and when this
news reached Shiloh by a runner,
two other lives were lost —old Eli
fell off the gate backwards and broke
h'js neck, and his daughter-in-law
gave her life in giving birth to a
son, whom she named in dying,
Ichabod, “the glory is departed.”
The ark was in captivity for seven
months, but what the Philistines had
thought a great trophy of victory
proved to be a great curse. Arto>r
being in five cities, it was placed on
a wagon to which were hitched two
milk cows, who, contrary to all the
laws of nature, left their bleating
calves, and/lowing as they wejt,
hauled that wagon away from tn*
stalls in which their calves were
tied and into the land of Israel. For
twenty more years the ark was away
from Shiloh.
By this time Samuel had grown
of seed, but we think It better to
use a larger amount than that for
fear a poor stand may result, from
economizing too much on the use
of seed. Soy beans may be broad
casted. This of course calls for the
use cf much more seed. We do not
think broadcasting is as satisfactory
a practice as planting in drills.
The fertilization of this crop- is an
important matter. On thin lands, a
little nitrogen may be used. A 9-1-3
can be used to advantage in many
instances. From three to four hun
dred pounds of fertilizer per acre
will also prove a profitable invest
ment. Like all legumes, this crop
will respopd to the use of lime.
Crushed, raw rock may be used to
advantage for this purpose. One
thousand pounds and upward may
be applied per acre. Do not mix the
lime with the fertilizer, and put it'
on some days in advance of the seed
ing of the crop. You merely harrow
it into the surface of the ground.
Soy beans can be grown with corn
to advantage. There is no crop
which does better, though they do
not stand shading quite so well as
cowpeas. The Laredo began matures
in a somewhat shorter period of time
than the O-too-tan. When this crop
is planted and a stand is obtained,
clean cultivation should be practiced
as long as possible. Implements suit
ed to the planting and handling of
corn or cotton are well adapted to
the handling of this crop.
I to be a man of mature years. As a
■ child of prayer he had lived in fel
lowship with God, and had grown up
i to be a man of prayer. He was God’s
! spokesman, and now was beginning
j to'-ggt the people to realize that the
; onlv way of safety and blessing -was
way back to God. He realized
that repentance on their part was
! the first step to victory, and not an
outward repentance, but one of the
heart. They must return to Jehovah
with all their heart; they must direct
their hearts unto Jehovah and serve
Him only; then they must put away
all the strange gods that were
among them, and serve Jehovah
only.
It was then that he gathered them
to Mizpah and prayed for them. He
fasted and poured out an offering to
Jehovah on that day. As a result
of that prayer of his they confessed
their sin, saying, “We have sinned
against Jehovah.” Their gathering
at Mizpah became known to the
Philistines, and they went up
against Israel. Then Israel said to
1 Samuel—they had learned now
where their source of strength was
—“Cease not to cry unto Jehovah
! our God for us tkat He will deliver
us out of hand of the Philistines.”
- And Samuel cried to Jehovab, and
Jehovah heard him. It was “as”
Samuel was crying to God that
Israel put their enemies to route.
I and it was God in answer to Sam
uel’s prayers that discomfited the
• Philistines and drove them out so
completely that they didn’t bother
i Israel any more during Samuel’s
« lifetime. What Samson, the strong
; est man, had not been able to ac
, complish was effected by Samuel
, the man of prayer. "Not by might,
• nor by an army, but by my Spirit,
• ; saith Jehovah of hosts.”
Prayer is the most tremendous
weapon that has ever been put in
i the hands of a man. . Just before
Jesus left —the night before His
crucifixion —He said: Hitherto —up
to this trine —ye have asked noth
ing in my name; whatsoever ye ask
of the Father in my name that will
I do; if ye shall ask anything in my
name, I will do it.
There are many things that we
long for but can not do ourselves,
but there is nothing impossible with
God. There is that boy, that hus
band, that wife, that friend of yours
whose heart you are craving after
for God. You can’t change it. No
amount of argument, pleading, plan
ning on your part has made any im
pression at all. You cannot do it,
but Pie can! And He has promised
this: Whatsoever ye ask in my name
that will I do. If ye shall ask any
thing in my name, I will do it.
Powerless as you are yourself you
can wield limitless power. Without
any strength of your own you can
set in motion the power that made
the worlds and keeps them with
precision in their courses, the
power that made man in His own
image and knows how he is put to
gether and how to reach the inner
most recesses of his heart. Prayer
in the name of Christ is your in
vincible weapon.
But remember it must be in the
name of Christ. And that doesn't
mean just sticking a formula at the
end of your request either.' It is
something vastly different from
that. In fact it may not even
have those words In it. To ask in
the name of Christ is to be so thor
oughly identified with Him in His
life and in His death —notice that
last'statement carefully—that when
you ask anything of the Father it
would be just the same as Jesus
Christ Himself asking it! Oh, to ask
in His name is no child’s play; it
requires that you shall have been
crucified with Him on the cross to
the world and the world crucified to
you, in order that you may live with
Him today in His life of never
ceasing intercession.
The price of prayer-power is
tremendous; but it is worth the
pribe. Will you pay it and enter in
to the life of peace and power in
i prayer?

please let another girl from the dear old
state of Georgia join your happy band of
boys and girls? Wa have taken the Tri-
Weekly Journal a long time, and all the
family enjoys it. I always read the letter
box first and enjoy it very much. The
letters are all so interesting. You all seem
to be having such a jolly time, I could’nt
just sit back and be content to just look
on any longer. What do you cousins do
for pastime? I crochet, tat, read good
books and help mother. I live the
country and like country life fine. I think
that every one should do their bit do make
home attractive, as there is no dearer
place on earth and the sweet names are
“Mother, Home and Heaven.”
Who has my birthday, October 1?
Cousins, don’t you all think Auntie Is a
dear old lady to allow us space in the dear

other? I don’t see many letters from this
part of “Old Georgia.” Come on cousins.
Cousins from, other states are getting, oh,
so far ahead.
Say, cousins, have you all ever noticed
this? I have. Out of every issue there
are only one or two letters from boys, so
come on boys, we all enjoy reading your
letters. 1 noticed most all of you cousins
take a subject but I will not as this is my
first attempt. If I was to take a subject
it would be on “Mother.”
How many of you cousins like to read?
I do. Some of my • happiest hours are
spent with a book or a magazine.
How did you cousins spend Christmas?
I guess you all had a good time. I cer
tainly did.
I will leave my age for you to guess.
It is between thirteen and seventeen. I
would like to get letters from every hoy
and girl who wishes to write to a happy
Georgia girl. Thanks, dear Auntie, for
printing my letter.

me this time and write again.
I will not describe myself this time, for
I did' last time. That was the reason I
did not get any more than eight letters.
I live on a farm and I’m just crazy about
flowers. I would like to exchange flower
seed with some one. I have lots of seeds
of all kinds.
Wouldn't it he fun for all the cousins
to give Annt J.plia a flower shower and
send her all kinds and wouldn't she be
proud? I want all the cousins tn write
me, if father has to kill the fatted calf
for postage I will answer them. With

some chosen name in adition to your
full name.
2. All questions must be written
on ONE SIDE of the paper only.
3. No legal or medical advice can

4. All letters requiring personal re
ply MUST' Inclose stamped, self-ad

5. Letters for the Question Box

Question Box, The Atlanta Trl-Week
ly Journal, Atlanta, Ga.
Dear Folks:
Just as usual at this time of the
year the questions pile in as to
whether or not "Coat Sults” will be
worn.
The shops are showing, as usual,
«. good many suits, these suits come
with the early spring, just as do
silk and satin hats, but of your are
providing for the wear until sum
mer comes full swing, take my ad
vice and get a one-piece dress and
a spring coat.
In the first place the dress and
coat are more becoming, in the sec
ond the coat will do for wear over
many dresses, and let me warn the
woman with hips to beware of the
tuck in blouse and that coat suit.
I do not like coat suits on stout
people any way, but when you add
a tucked in blouse to the effect it
is far from good. If you need a
coat suit, be sure to wear with it
an over-blouse of becoming cut and
style, this does away with that
awful waist line. I speak with feel
ing for I have one.
Cordially vours,
AUNT JULIA.
L. R.: I am sorry but I do not
know of a firm that haa work done
on the basis to which you refer. In
fact most busilness houses in large
places have such work done in
xvholesale lots.
Mrs. J. L. Rowland, Wrightsville,
Ga., Route 3. Would like to have
the poem “A Woman’s Question”
and "A Man’s Reply.” Send direct
to her. She says she will gladly re
turn the favor.
Martha L.: It would be perfectly
well for you to have a light soup
, as the first course wfth your lunch
eon. Then if you wish it a meat,
say chops. Baked potatoes and a
salad of tomatoes and Jettuce, and a
dessert. Or you could have in place
of soup, grapefruit, your meat, two
vegetables, baked potatoes and green
peas, omit your salad arid have a
dessert.
Jerry: I believe that you will find
the belted in backs will continue for
quite a while as favorites with boys
and young men. If I xvanted. a suit
that could be worn for evening af
\fairs I’d get a navy blue with a
xvhite hair line, the coat of this suit
could then be xvorn with white duck
or flannel trousers in the summer.
Mary L. D.: Bless your heart, I
knew you xvould not leave home if
they needed you so.'
This would be a good plan for
you, write to the library commis
sion, State Capitol, Atlanta, Gt.,
state just what line of study you
wish to take up, you can get books
from this commission as you live in
Georgia.', for the postage to bring
and return them. Then if the crops
are as good as we have reason to
hope they will he, get your dear
father to let you take a course from
some good correspondence school, in
this way you can take examina
tions, and really know just where
you are getting and fls you -say year
after next you may be able with a
clear conscience to take up your
“career.” .

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Aunt
Julia, please let me join your happy band
of boys and girls. Most of the cousins live
on n farm and I do. too, but don't like
it, as the other cousins say they do.
I live In South Carolina, but go to
school in North Carolina. I ain In the
eighth grade at Tabor High school. Tabor
is a small town near the South and North
Carolina line. I like to see the days come
when The Journal comes. It certainly is a
fine paper. 1 read the story, “Her Money.”
I don’t read the other story because it isn’t
interesting, to me. I also read Dorothy
Dix’s talks and the letter box. Mutt and
Jeff la funny in some papers.
Who is my twin? August 16 is my birth
day. I am fifteen years of age. All you
girls about my age write to me, as I get
very lonesome some times.
Your new cousin,
ALMA HARALSON.
Tabor. N. C., R. F. D. 2, Box 167.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
admit a soldier boy into your happy band
nt boys and girls? I have been a reader of
the Letter Box for some time and just now
decided to write. How did you all enjoy
Christmas? I enjoyed it just fine. We
surely had a goood Christmas dinner. I
lived at Gay, Ga., before enlisting in the
army. Cousins, how many of you have
been to Eort Benning? I only got the the
ninth grade at school, bt I still read all
the good books that I have spare time to.
How many of you cousins like art? I am
thinking of taking a course in art during
my spare time pretty soon. A part of the
detachment is going to take a hike to Mc-
Clellan next June. I will leave my age
for you to guess, it Is between eighteen and
twenty-two. Some of you high school
cousins write to me. Wil exchange photo
gsaphs. Good-by. From n new cousin.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: riease allow
me to come in for a few minutes. I believe
most of you are Ijke myself—like to read
for pastime. I have two of Zane Grey’s
books, “The T.one Star Ranger” and “The
Last of the Plainsmen,” which I would like
to exchange for any two of these: “The
Winning of Barbara Worth,” “The Re-crea
tion of Brian Kent,” “That Printer of
Udell’s,” or “Helen of the Old House,” by
Harold 801 l Wright, or two of Jene Strat
ton Porter’s books. Write first. I have
others you might like, but only these by
Zane Grey, and I believe most of you like
his stories. As for me, I like Mary Roberts
Rineheart and Harold Bell Wright best. If
