YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—How the Lord Helps. I. Samuel Called the People to For sake Their (dole (7:1*6). Under the administration of Ell, the nation rapidly deteriorated. For their sins, God permitted the nation to be bitterly oppressed by the Philistines. Samuel promised them deliverance on the condition of repentance. II. Samuel Prayed for tha Poeple (7:7-14). , Moved by fear of the Philistines the people besought Samuel to cry unto God for them. In response to bis prayer God miraculously delivered them from the Philistines. III. Samuel Judging Israel (7:15- 17). Bethel, Gllgal, Mlspah and Ramah were hlar circuit, to each of which he made annual visits. These centers were for the accommodation of the people. ‘ IV. Samuel's Farewell Addi (12 :l-»). When Sanl, the new king crowned, Samuel turned over to him hid authority, and gracefully retired. 1. Samuel’s challenge to the people (w. 1-6). (1) A reminder of the way the n*g had been given (v. 1). He showed that they were directly responsible for the change in govern ment. Though keenly feeling the re flection upon hkapelt and their in gratitude to God In their demand for a king, be had not resisted their wish. (2) Review of his own administra tion (rv. 2, 8). a. Walk from childhood (v. 2). Sam uel's was a remarkable life; from childhood to old age be had lived an upright and pure Ufa. b. Career as judge and ruler (v. 8). He boldly chaUenged them to show where and how he had ever oppressed anyone. (S) The vote of conttdence by the people (vv. 4. 5). _ It waa HamoeTa right as he laid down the reins of government to hav* hta record vindicated and to have his Integrity established beyond s doubt, so that no evil-minded man should ever he able to cast reproach upon him. 2. Samuel reviews God's deal lag from the time of Moees (vv. 6-1S). He reasoned with them concerning the good baud of the Lord upon them from the time of Moees. Though they with Ingratitude turned from the Lord and demanded a king like the other nationa. He had acceded to their request and set a king over them. (1) National prosperity conditioned by obedience (v. 14). ■ftoug*. tKey had displeased God In choosing a king. If they would fear the Lord and render obedience, na tlonal prosperity would still be given. (2) Disobedience to God meant tbe nation's ruin (▼. 15). It Is folly to aak God's blessing upon a nation while It la living In rebellion again** Him. 8. Samuel’s own vindication (vv. 16-19). This was such a critical hoqr In the history of the nation that Samuel sought to indelibly Impress its mean ing on their hearts. This he did by means of the thunder and rain ont of season. Harvest time was not the season for thunder and rain, so when It came at the call of Samnel, the peo ple were affrighted. They saw It as an example of God’s mighty power, which If directed against them, would destroy them In an Instant. 4. Samuel’s gracious response (vv. 20-25). (1) “Fear not—serve the Lord with all your heart” (vv. 20-22). Samuel did not minimize their sin but assured them that If they would serve the Lord wholeheartedly He would not forsake them. The ground of their hope was the faithfulness of God In keeping His covenant. (2) “God forbid that I should sin against tjbe Lord In ceasing to pray iOr you’* (v. 23). Tbe people had rejected Samuel, yet he bad such magnanimity of soul that he did not allow their ingrati tude to cause his Intercession for them to cease. He assured them that In spite Of their sin their one concern should be to fear the Lord and serve Him wholeheartedly. A; Don't Put Your House to Shame at Christ Time \ It k tl»e One Time of All the .Teer When It Should Be ■■■I Up.—To Do Its Bit In Spreading Yuletide Cheer. v V' By HELEN OLSON Even our homes, the houses in which we live, in their mute, way welcome with joy the advent of Christmas and the -holidays. ^ You may not have suspected it—4mt that is because you have never paused to consider that the yuletide season is the only time throughout the year that our homes are “dolled-up” or allowed to wear gay ribbons and bright colors and put forth their inviting appearance. Pleasure The pastor saya: To expect ade quate refreshment for tbe human spirit from mere pleasure is like gath ering dewdrops and blowing upon them to keep them moist.—jfdhn An drew Holmes. However, houses like little girls, sometimes kre put to shame by the way their mothers dress them up- some mothers, as you know, overdoing it—others by their bad taste—and still others who seem to think that a “hair ribbon” is enough to make one feel dressed np* Christmas decorations in the home are not for the family and visiting friends only. Every house-wife should realize this fact. Colorful decora- Von* however are very, very essen tial to the development of the real Christinas spirit faeling, putting the. color and action into 'what otherwise might merely be a drab Winter week in December. Simplicity is always a good rule in any art—and who is there who can say that arrangement of color does not call for a certain setae of the artistic 7 First of all consider the sise of the house when selecting the decora tions that are to be used at doors, windows and throughout the home. At the front door a fat bright holly wreath with a plentiful supply of red berries, by all means. The real holly wreath is of course to be preferred. In the Eastern States the practice is quite general of hanging the wreath on the. outside of the door. This is don« so that it will not wither or dry out so quickly—as it sometimes will do when hung inside and behind the glass panel. The writer knows one family from the West who were qu'te shocked at seeing the wreath on the outside of the door—expressing the feeling that it was too suggestive of ieath in the home. However, it is a matter of choice and no doubt one can well be govern ed by the custom of the locality in which they live. For the wirdows, all decorations are Banks at WiUiston Merged on Saturday WiUiston, Dec. 11.—At a joint meet ing today of the directors of the two banking institutions here an agree ment was entered into whereby the Farmers’ and Merchants’ Bank is taken over by the Bank of WiUiston, whose officers are: A. M. Kennedy, president; W. E. Frothro and Dr. J. L. Smith, vice president, ard G. W. Whitaker, cashier. The citizens of this section are unanimous in their ap proval of their action and are grati fied that the Bank of WiUiston has a mple resources to not only withstand the strain of present conditions, but to assume the liabilities of another bank to its depositors, it was stated. hung on the inside. If one has large plate glass windows, then a medium sized holly wreath at each windkw is quite, appropriate. If the windows are small—then almost. any wreath ob tainable |s too large. The moat ar tistic touch for smaller windows is a bright red (artificial) poinaett* or small bright red paper bell replacing the tassel on the shades This givss just the right touch of color and a uniformity which is very pleasing to passer shy. Throughout the country the prac tice >s every year becoming more gen eral of decorating the living fir, or evergreen trees which may be grow ing in one’s yard. Tiny bright Christ mas electric lights only are used. When the lights are turned on it is beautiful and inviting. When one has two living Christmas tree* at one’s doorstep—aU ablaze with brightly colored lights it sprmwU tbe Yuletide cheer. The moat artistic touch of all—was that soul who first conceived the idea of transplanting small firs, cedars or evergreens to the flower boxes which throughout the summer had been such a riot of gay color. During the holi day week, one ean pin red cranberries to branch ends of these ItttW trees— adding to the decorative value. You will note W* hav c touched only on home decoration for Christinas which has to do with the view from the outside of the. home. Just one more point; no matter the sise of the Christinas tree you may have in the home, place it wher« it can be seen through window, door, or glassed in porch, so that all passers by may en joy it too. It gives that warm feeling to the heart to know that within that home —the Christmas spirit—joy and peace —is prevailing. SUMMONS FOR RELIEF.
