t REV. ROBERT H. HARPER t
The Priest in the Life of Israel.
Lesson for August 13: I Samuel
1: 1-4:18.
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.
