Golden Text: Hebrews 5:1. Sometimes a by-product equals .in value the original thing as when building material is made from the bargasse of sugar cane. In the lesson, the training of children ranks with the main top ic. Consider the contrast between the training of Samuel and that of the sons of Eli. Asked of God and dedicated to Him, Samuel be came a great prophet in Israel. Evidently Eli’s sons were sadly lacking in childhood training, for while assisting their father in the priesthood they used the sacred place to satisfy their own greed and lust. However, the reverence for holy things represented in the taber nacle at Shiloh, either the old one removed from Gilgal or a new and more permanent one built there, led the people to continue going there for worship, despite the a- buses perpetrated by Eli’s sons. And Eli had a high regard for his priestly office. The old man of 98 survived the tidings of his sons’ death but when he heard the ark, symbol of God’s presence and of which he was guardian, had been taken, he fell backward and broke his neck. The whole of the lesson* shows the importance of /the priest in Israel, though the priesthood was at times abused by unworthy men.
