The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1933-08-10, Page 3THE EXETER TIMES-ADVOCATE HANNAH THURSDAY, AUGUST 10, 1033 (International Uniform Sunday School Lesson, August 13th.) Golden Text “A woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised.”—Proverbs 3J; 30. LESSON PASSAGE—1 Samuel 1:9- 11, 24-28; 2:1, 2. Lord, give the mothers of the world More love to do their part; That love which reaches not alone The children made by birth their own, But every childislf heart. Wake in their souls true motherhood, Which aims at universal good. stunts to his 'boy. Many a soldier’s widow has told hei* boy from earliest years that she wanted him to grow up to be a soldier like his daddy. Hannah’s dedication of Samuel was made from a religious motive and for a religious purpose. Not only did she promise to give her child to the ser­ vice of God but sihe set him apart to be a Nazirtte, to go with their hair Uncut and to drink no intoxicants. This measure of ascenticism was to heighten religious devotion. Human mature is sometimes fond of doiinjj hard things as when modern devotees take vows of celibacy, obedience and poverty. The wisdom of such vows is much debated but there is no deny­ ing tlhe powerful religious motives actuating those making them. EDDIE, THE AD MAN A Mother’s Prayer, 9, 10 Do modern mothers pray as ancient mothers did? There is no way of getting accurate statistics about the matter, but the general impression is that there is at least less formal prayer than there used to be. This does not mean that mother love does not have strong desires for the wel­ fare of children, but there is’ less conscious dependence upon God. For instance, an intelligent mother who prays only occasionally .has mastered several health books about the care of children and has brought up her children with almost complete ab­ sence of pain during infancy, teeth­ ing and contagious diseases. She has also read widely on child psychology and has been able to care for her children with a minimum of pline and has given them a childhood while at the same their development ljas been Such a mother might say that God has put it in her power to. answer many of her own prayers. .She would, however, find it helpful’ to have quiet times, when she thinks of God’s will for her children 'and seeks his help. Such prayers give strength to mothers and have more influence up­ on-children than the mothers ever know. When acute problems arise and a mother is bewildered to know what to do, very often the solution is found in quiet prayer, listening to Gods .Spirit and asking for his help. Hannah was a wife in a bigamous, home. To make matters worse .she was childless, a great disgrace for a •married woman in -ancient days, her bitterness of soul she prayed wept. It was her conviction that prayer was answered. disci- happy time rapid. In and her A Mother’s Vow, 11 Religious vows are less common than they once were, but they are far from uncommon. Some mothers dedicate their sons to the ministry, priesthood or missionary work before the sons are born. Occasionally in gratitude for the deliverance of a child from danger through sickness or accident, a mother will consecrate her child for some special service. It is sometimes said that a parent has not the right to decide the career of a child while it is still in infancy and the practice may foe iopen to criticism It is not, however, only in religion that such vows are made, may start during school age to train her daughter to be a singer or a dancer. An acrobat will from early childhood teach A Mother's Purpose, 34 relig- days s vow while Many people have fleeting ious moods lasting for hours, or weeks at most, but Hannah’; held through several years Samuel was growing old enough to be taken to Shiloh to bo dedicated for his religious duties'. .She looked for­ ward' to the day with eager anticipa­ tion, and made ready the provisions and gifts necessary. Taking .her son to the priest Eli, she told him that she was the woman who had prayed before and that her prayers had been answered. In regard to. their plans for their children, mothers often think in terms not of years but of a Whole lifetime. Hannah had but the one child but she dedicated him urn reservedly to the service of God and the cause of public worship. Her life found its highest meaning in that of heir son. , A Mother’s Loan, 25-28 A very significant phrase was ed as Hannah gave her son over to the keeping of Eli, the priest. She said: “I have lent him to the Lord; as long as he liveth he shall be lent to the Lord.” What was in her mind? Was to loan her In the effect probably no mind great given God. ownership and assume responsibility. How dearly she would have loved to Trave her boy with her all the time! She could not giving him up ready to loan whole lifetime still his mother, who are selfish children and let between them and God. There are al­ so mothers so devoted to religion that they neglect their children.

A .thrillling novel and four motion pictures each Week may satisfy a mother who has no spiritual resources of her own. But to' a religious mother with a deep love for her children, the highest joy is to see her son realizing his possibilities and. devoting his life to the worship of God and the. useful service of man. Hannah sang a song of joyous exultation when her pray­ ers for her son had 'been answered., and heir plans successfully carried to completion. Her song has been call- •the Magnificat .of the Old Testament and it points to the song of Mary in the New Testament. With deep thanksgiving Hannah gave all praise to the living God. “There is none holy as the Lord: for there, is none beside tlhee; neither is there any rock like our God.” Questions to Discuss de­1. Is it right for a mother .to cide the vocation of her son? 2. May a business man consciously feel that his life is. loaned to the Lord? 3. Why is asceticism so often as­ sociated with religion? 4.
