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.

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.

A way for manufacturers of a
number of items of low-priced
consumer durable goods to obtain
relief from below-par ceiling prices
was provided today by the Office
of Price Administration.
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.
