INTRODUCTION—In the story of Han-
nah we find ourselves still in the per-
iod of the Judges. The story takes
us away from the conflicts of those
days from wars, and courts, and
armies, to*thesimple and sincere piety
of a country home. Like the story of
Naomi and Ruth it takes us among
the common folk of Israel, and then
from the home in Ramah to the temple
at Shiloh. • We may very well believe
that there were many such hoboes in
Israel, and that front them came very
much of what was best in the life and
in the thoughts of that remarkable
people to whom •the worldawes so
much. We are reminded again, as we
read, of the infinite possibilities for
good which are bound up in the rela-
tions which exist between a good mo-
ther and a child. Samuel, the child of
Hannah's prayer,
educated to the
priesthood, calledto be a prophet,
chosen as judge by the people, witness-
ing to a pure life by his Nazirite vow,
finally maker and counselor of kings,
stands forth in Bible history as one
of its purest and noblest men—reck-
oned by the Jews in later ages as first
of the great prophets whose' inspired
teaching still stirs the hearts of men.
I. A CHILD OF PRAYER, 1: 1-28.
Koffatt•translate,s v. 3 as follow;
"No more of your proud vaunts!
No mouthing of your taunts!
For the Eternal is a God who knows
it all,
And what men do he judges."
The dose parallel .tf Luke 1: 46-53
to this song should be noticed. There
in the Magnificat Marypours out her
soul in thankfulness in language which
is reminiscent of the words of Hannah.
111, GIVEN TO GOD, 2: 11, 18, 19; 3:
1-18.
In the service of the temple, under
the care and instruction of -the old
priest Eli, the child did minister unto
the Lord. There girded with a linen
ephod, the priestly garment, and
happy in receiving from his careful
mother a little robe when she came
once a year to the festival, he grew in
years and knowledge until the time
came for his call to a larger and much
more difficult task, to be a prophet of
the Lord. The story of chap. 3 is well
known. Samuel lying down to sleep
in the temple whore the lamp v,as still
burning and where the ark of God
was, heard what he thought must be
the voice of Eli calling him and ran
to wait upon him. But Eli had not
called him. Three times this was re-
peated, and the old man knew then
that it was no ordinary voice that dis-
turbed the sleep of his favorite pupil.

Illustrated Dressmaking Lesson Fur-
nished With Every Pattern
The place called Ramathaim-sophim,
or Ramah of the Zuphites, was some
+distance north of Jerusalem in the
Ephraimite country. Hera was the
home of Elkanah and his two wives,
the childless Hannah and her rival,
Peninnah, who provoked Ler sore for
to make her fret. The national sanc-
tuary where Eli and his sons minister -
e:. as priests was at Shiloh, and thi-
ther this family went once a year to
worship and to sacrifice unto the Lord
of hosts.
The -custom at such annual festivals
was for an ox r a sheep to be slain,
fat portions of the meat to be burned
with fragrant spices upon the altar, a
portion given to the pjiiest, and the
remainder of the meat served in a
sacrificial meal at which the family
and their guests would be present. On
these occasions Hannah offered special
and very earnest arayers for the gift
of a on, promising to consecrate him
to the service of the Lord. The vow
referred to in verse 11 was that of
tho Nazirite described in Numbers,
chap. 6. It was taken sometimes for
life, sometimes for a definite shorter
period, and seems to have bean intend-
ed as a protest aaainst drunkenness
and other evil practices associated
with the Canaanite altars andfrequent-
ly imitated at the altars of Jehovah.
In the cases of Samson and Samuel
the vow was taken by the parents for
the child, and was regarded as binding
for life.
Hannah's earnestness of prayer was
misunderstood by the priest Eli, but
when she told him of her trouble of
mind and great desire, he gave her his
blessing. In fulfilment of her vow she
took fl child to the temple while he
was still very young and left him
there in the care o Eli to be granted
to the Lord. It is remarkable that he
was accepted and trained as an attend-
ant at the temple, and later became a
Priest, though not a member of the
tribe of Levi. The law which restrict-
ed the temple ministry to Levites may
have been of later origin, or perhaps
not yet strictly enforced.
II. A SONG OF THANKSGIVING, 2: 1-10.
Some doubt has been expressed as to
whether or not this song could have
been composed by Hannah. But with
the exception of the reference to a
king in v. 10 there is nothing in it
that she might not have said. It must
be remembered that the language is
that of poetiy. By her enemies she
may mean her rival whom she exhorts
to talk no more so exceedingly proad-
ly, and in v. 5 she may, in the most
general way, be dwelling upon her own
experience. The song was ascribed to
• Hannah by the editors of the books
of Samuel, and represents the faith of
an early writer.
areful Diet Means
"Good-bye" to Fat
By MARIE ANN BEST
Article No. 2
"What Is My Normal Weight?"
We ofteu hear it said: "They say
I should only "weigh 135 pounds 50 -
cording to my height, but I know I
would not be well if I were as thin
as that. It seems to to my nature
to be stout or why should everything
turn to fat? I don't eat any more than
.slender cousin Mary, not as much,
and yet look at me."
While that may all be very true,
be very sure you do uot say that to
yourself for too long a time, and shut
your , eyes to the steadily increasing
layers of fat that creepround and
round your body so slyly. You may
be shocked oome day when you are;
complacently walking . through some
large building where people gather.
Every one else around. may look as
though they came out of a fashion
plate with their slim silhouettes which
makes you unconsciously think you
also appear as they, until you sud-
denly- find yorself standing in front
of a long mirror that shows every
line and curveto its fullest extent.

to eat any dinner to -night, but what
about the ,next morning? Resolves
and wishes fly to the winds when the
appetite is doubly strong from the
fasting. The bacon is frying in the
pan sending up delicious odors, the
coffee smells so good and you visual-
ize it made golden with much cream
and sugar. The toast too will be
buttered thickly with this sweet, yel-
low delicacy and since you did not
eat dinner you certainly intend to
make up for it now. • They are all
too tempting and you capitulate.
After breakfast it is true one has
memories of a good meal, but remorse-
fully you know you might have eaten
less, only how are you going to do
it? And you say to yourself: "There
is no use talking, I just can't do with-
out all these good things."
This is why one is apt to give up
after such experiences: It would be
easier to be more like the tortoise
in the age-old fable, "Slow and steady
wins the race." But how can we re-
duce if we do not know how to go
about it?
Nearly everyoue knows what he or
she should weigh. If you do not
know ask your family doctor's advice

Canadian Mounties
Back From London
Ottawa.—After 'distinguishing them-
selves by their demonstration of horse-
manship at Olympia in London the de-

by a delegation from local headquar-
ters and escorted to their barracks at
Rockliffe.
The group, which was under the di-
rection of Inspector T. Dann, was dis-
banded within a few days and return-
ed to their home divisions.

To bathe immediately atter a meal is
to. iirvite trouble; before breakfast is
good for the vigorous and robust, but
it gives no opportunity for leisurely
sea baths.
To prevent feeling cold dash boldly
into the water, or plunge in. Wading
out slowly is an unnerving business.
If you begin to get chilly after having
beep. in the water some time, it is
proof that your bathe has already been
too long. Always leave the water
whilst still warm.
Your body is more buoyant in salt
water than in fresh, so if you are by
the sea learn to swim while the op-
portunity is so good.
Success in early swimming depends
largely on confidence, and confidence
will be developed if you romp and
splash and. so feel at home in the
water.
Floating is useful in. emergencies.
Almost anyone can fioat in the sea by
lying quietly face upwards, with arms
and legs spread out. Currents and
tides, however, sometimes drift an in
cautious floater into deep water, or
some other danger—so be careful.
The outward swim is easier than the
return. Make allowance, therefore, for
fatigue when swimming. from the

by playing freely in it for some time,
they will make much better headway
when swimming begins. The stupid
old notion that by tossing a boy into

is available, have a thorough rinse in
it after your bathe.
Cramp is not dangerous if you keep
calm. Come out of the water immedi-
ately should you be attacked. Mass-
age the affected part vigorously and
the cramp will soon go.
Bathing alone is dangerous, even it

The real swimmer has always a neat,

perfect freedom. of movement.
It is unsafe to clamber into a boat
over the side. The right place is the
stern—but se that you do not injure
yourself on the rudder or rudder -hook.
Swimming is the healthiest of exer-
cises, for it brings supple develop-
ment to every part without undue
strain on the heart, and it cleanses the
skin at the same time. Also, the swim-
mer benefits considerably by the ex-
posure of his body to light and air.
(Suggested Reducing Menus General)
On arising drink two glasses of
cold water, exercise for ten minutes,
bathe and dress. Then try a very
slim breakfast to -day.
Breakfast
1 Slice very dry toast, butter 1/1 tea-
spoon. Coffee clear or 1 orauge.

breakfast, but eat it +slowly then get
interested in something else immedi-
ately. You'll soon forget it and will
start feeling slimmer already.) •
Lunch
