ROBERT K HARPER f I The prophet in the Life of Isra el. Lesson for August 20: I Samuel ^ 3:19-21; 7:2-12. Golden Text: Jeremiah 23:28. The prophet was more than a foreteller; he was also a forth-tell er, a preacher. Samuel combined v the work of prophet, the functions of priest, and the duties of judge. Under his leadership there was a great revival (I Samuel 7:3-6), the * Philistines were subflued (I Sam uel 7:7-13), and, as we shall study later, the Hebrew monarchy was established. His greatness as a prophet is at tested by I Samuel 3:20. “From Dan to Beersheba,” which doubt less became ' a current phrase, 1 composed the whole extent of Is- j rael from north to south—thus did Samuel’s influence reach all the. country. He was a “circuit judge” | —see I Samuel 7:16, 11, and his work as priest is recorded in I Samuel 7:9 and elsewhere. | The assembly at Mizpah was, more than a religious gathering, it was an armed mobilization. The Philistines regarded it as such and “went up against Israel,” even as j “Samuel was offering up the burnt j offering.” They were badly defeat ed and did not trouble Israel “all tbe days of Samuel.” Tfie wife of Phinehas had named her new-born son Ichabod be cause the glory had departed from Israel with the taking of the ark. The ark had been returned, the Philistines subdued, and Samuel gave Israel a better word. He set a memorial stone between Mizpah and Shen and called it Ebenezer, saying, “Hitherto hath the Lord helped us.” Thus did the prophet in Israel save his people through God’s help. And, if we are wise, we shall raise the stone of Ebenezer, and still trust the Lord for help.

X • New Bomber Chief Advance notice has been given growers on ceiling prices to be set by the Office of Price Admminis- tration for beets and early white table stock potatoes during the next crop season. District OPA Director E. R. Tal bert said today the ceilings to be placed for the first time on beets may result in retail prices slight ly above the prevailing retail prices last year, but should re sult in no increase in retail prices of potatoes as the new shipping point ceilings will be the same as last season. Five more blue stamps—a total of 50 points—will be made vald for buying rationed processed foods September 1, the Office of Price Administration said today. The stamps, G5, H5, J5, K5, and L5, will be good indefinitely. MaJ. Gen. Cnrtl* E. Lemay, 31 Imv chief of the Twentieth bombe weir'll and, operator* of the B-29.

The new regulation, OPA District Director E. H. Talbert said, was designed to encourage production cf low-priced articles, now scarce, by manufacturers who are losing money or whose ceiling prices are below the prevailing market and who, without relief, could not be expected to continue in produc tion. The action is expected to have far reaching effect on in dustry in the Columbia district, Mr. Talbert said. Simultaneous adjustments at wholesale and retail may be au thorized to assure continued dis tribution. Among the fifty odd items man ufactured in this area that are af fected by the new action are: un painted chests, tables, vanities and cabinets; wheeled hand cultiva tors and plows; play pens; break fast sets; brooms, brushes; cast iron hand tools; high chairs; kitchtn cabinets; maple or maple finish bedroom suites; mattresses; mops, mop sticks and heads; and occasional wood chair, including chairs with padded seats. Manufacturers can get a com plete list and full details at the district and Regional OPA offices.
