LESSON VIII.
Feb. 21, 1915. -The Death of Eli and
His Sons -1, Samuel 4:1-13.
Commentary -1 The ark carried
into battle (vs. 1-5). 1. The word of
Samuele-Samuel had become recog-
nized throughout Israel as a prophet
of the Lord. The firet sentence of this
chapter apparently belongs to the pre-
ceding one. Against the Philistines -
The Philistines occupied the plains
along .the Mediteranean Sea, in the
southwestern part of Canaan. and fur-
ther south toward Egypt. Their name
means hiunigrants, and they may
have come from Egypt. From their
name is derived the word Paleatine.
They were thrifty agricultural and
commercial people, and were warlike,
During the twenty years in which
they were oppreesing Israel, Samson
had been active, carrying on a cam.
paiga, single-handed, against them
and making them mush trouble. Is-
rael heti become aroused agalest them
and decided to engage in war in an
effort to throw of their yoke. Eben-
ezer -By. unticipation the place was
called so, but the name was not giv-
en to it until twenty years later, It
was situated a few nines frcm Jerus-
alem, probably northwest of it. The
location is not now known. Aphek-
A fortified place. There were many
placea in Canaan called by that name.
It, must have been near Ebenezer. 2 -
Israel was smitten -The Philistines
had the advantage in the first con-
flict. Israel's loss was heavy, being
four thousand men,
3 Wherefore bath the Lord smitten

ed that the Lord had not been'fight-
ing for them, They wondered wbY,
and yet they should have known that
it was because they had forsaken the
true God. Let us fetch the ark of the
covenant -'rhe ark represented the
Philistine army over that of Israel
sempesed that God would not pertnit it
to be taken from them, hence they
believed that, with it in the army,
the Philistines might not be allow,
ed to triumph over them. In the bat-
tle just fought the superiority of the
Phiiistine army over that ce Israel
%wag elearly shown. 4. Sent to Shiloh
-The location cf Shiloh Is pieced
seventeen miles north of Jerusalem
near the road between that city and
Shechem. The taberneelei was there,
and it was 'for many years the relig-
ious centre of the nation. Cherubims
-"Cherubim."-R. V. The cherubim
were winged figures facing each other
and standing over the ark of the cov-
enant, probably "as guardians of the
covenant." Hophni and Phinehas-

taken -So far from the ark's saving
Israel, it was itself captured by the
Philestiues and thus the Israelitish
nation and its religion became des-
pised.
IV. The death of Eli (vs. 12-18).

This was also a token of grief. 13.

told him or the terrible defeat of Is-
rael, of the death of Hophni and Phin-
ehas and of the loss of the ark of
God, ?S. Made mention or the ark
of God -Eli had borne the news of
israel's defeat and of the death oe
his sons, but when he heard that the
.ark was takqn he could not bear it
and he died, His heart was set upon -
the service and honor of Jehovah.
Questions. -Who was Samuel?
Where did the Philistines live? 'What
were the ,relations between the Phil-
istines and the Israelites? Where did
the Philistines and the Israelites meet
in battle? What was the meta of
the first engagement? What course
did Israel, take with the hope or be-
ing victorious in the next engage-
ment? What prediction was fulfilled
with respect to, Eli and his sons?
PRACTICAL SURVEY.
Topic -Disaster in Israel.
1-Resinted from moral apostacy.
2 -Gave evidence of tie veracity
of God. •
L -Resulted frbm moral opostasy-
lhe lesson sets us in the midst of
Israel's conflict with the Philistines.
Had Israel been faithful to God since
the conquest or Canaan, they would
not at this time have been vexed and
humiliated by the Philistines. Their
cry of amazement (v. 3) stands be-
tween two defeate In no way did
they admit that the cause of their de-
feat was their own moral and •relig-
ious apostaey. The spiritual condi.;
tion of the people had never sunk
lower than at this time. The peril or
Israel lay as much in the unworthi-
ness of their leaders as in the vices
of the eople. The character of the
Priesthood had become thoroughly
corrupt. The people bad changed their
religion into a formai superstition.
The neglect af family.. discipline, the
daring disobedience of children, in
the priestly family and the disregard
of the commandments of God among
the people brought the flatten to its
day of judgment. Heedless of repent -
once and reformation Israel sought
freedom and prosperity by the exer-
time of their Own physiealapowers.
Conformity to the will of Ged evaa
despised. Israel sought the ark of tae
Lord .and trustedin it vith supersti-
tioes veneration. It was a supersti-
tious anti irreverent use of the sym-
bol ef God'preeence. This revealed
the beathenieh feiseure in ahe relig-
ious life ot Israel and showed taat,
their faith was obscured by super-
stition. Eli was the theoretic judge of
the Hebrew commonwealth. Its ad-
ministration centred around Shiloh
where Eli dwelt •and where the ark
was kept and its statutes observed.
But Israel called for Hophni and Phin-
elia.s, the -sous of Ell These men who
were rapacious, licentious and blas-
pliereppe, in common with Israel, aid

tion is generally flocded. The water,
however, has not yet reamed the

structed all the parish 'mesas to dis-

Pelle himself seent a good deal of his
time Sunday in watching the rising
waters in Inc quarter just below the
Apostolic Palace.
Two hundred patients in the hospi-
tal of Santo Spirits:), near the Vatican,
have been removed to the upper floors
of the building, because of the f.00d.
Some fear is expressed that the rising
water ma.y cause the building to col-
lapse.
The authorities have closed the
road from Rome to the sea, in which
there are several deposits of carbide
and lime. Some of these, through
infilitration from the flooded Tiber,
have already exploded, and caused
nearby buildings to collapse. Fortu-
nately there were no victims, as the
people, foreseeing danger, had left the
place.
Great anxiety is felt to -day for the
famous St. Angelo Bridge, originally
erectew by Emperor Adrian, and
which Connects his tomb with the city.
The waters are already over the pil-

Many houses in the immediate
neighborhood of St. Peter's have from

obliged to - remove their possessions

The floods have turned the low-ly-
ing quarters of the city into a second
Venice, as the streets are now all
waterways, and boats are the only
means of progression. Crowds of
Persons spent the -night watching the
rising tide, and many recalled how
few were the floods in the memory of
man in this section which have equal-
led this. Many congratulated them-
selves on the protection afforded by
the magnificent embankment, which is
one of the great works that Rome
owes to modern Italy.
