The Seaforth News, 1930-08-14, Page 7v Sunday School Lesson August 10. Lesson -VI—Hannah (A Godly Mother) -1 Samuel 1: 9.18, 2428; 2:19. Golden Text—Me son, hear the instruction of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother,—Proverbs 1. 8. ANALYSIS I. A CHILD OF PRAYER, 1: 1-28. lI. A SONG OF THANKSGIVING, 2: 1-10. III. GIVEN To GOD, 2: 11,18, 19;. 3: INTRODUCTION—In the story of Ilan - neje we find ourselves still in the per- <. of the Judges. The story takes ns away from the conflicts of those days from wars, and courts, and armies, to the simple 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 item the home in Ramah to the temple at Shiloh. We .may very well believe that there were many such homes in Israel, and that from them came very much of what was best in the life and in the thoughts of that remarkable people to whom the world ewes 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, called to 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 eges as first of the great prophets whose inspired teaching still stirsthe hearts of hien. 1. A OHILU OP PRAYER, 1: 1-28. Moffatt translates v. 3„as, follows: "No more of your proud vaunts' No mouthing of your taunts! For the Eternal is a 'God who knows it all, I • And what men do he judges.” - The close parallel ,.f Luke 1 46-53 to this song should be noticed. There in the Magnifeat Mary pours out her soul in thankfulness in language which is retniniscent of the words of Hannah. III. GIVEN TO GOD, 2: 11, 18, 19; 3:' 148, In the service of the temple, under• the care and instruction of the old. priest Ell, 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. 8. is well known, Samuel lying down to sleep in the temple where the lamp was still burning and where the ark of God was, heard what he thought must be the voice oe Eli pall' g him and ran to wait upon him. Mut 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. The place called Ramathaim-.zophitn, or Remelt of the Zuphites, was some distance north of Jerusalem in the Ephraimite country. Here was the home of Elkanah and his two wives, the childless I'Iannah and her rival, Peninnah, who provoked Ler* sore for to snake her fret. The national sane- tuary where Eli and his sons minister. c' 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 nkat to be burned with iragrant epic : upo.r the altar, a portion given to the priest, and the remainder of the neat served in a sacrificial meal at which the family and their guests would be present. On these occasions Hannah offered special and very earnest 'mayors for the gift of a son, promising to consecente hie• to the service of the Lord. The vow referred to in verse 11 was that of ktho 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 a'ainst drunkenness and other evil practices associated with the Canaanite altersnndfrequent• I imitated at the altars of Jehovah. In the cases of Samson and Samuel the vow was taken be 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 t1 .1 child to the temple while he was still very young and left him there in the care oe 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 n 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 doulit haebeen 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 bo remembered that the language is that of poetry. By her enemies she may mean her rival whom she exhorts to talk no more so exceedingly proud- 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 en early writer.

HOW TO ORDER PATTERNS Careful Diet Means "Good-bye" to Fat By MARIE ANN BEST Article No, 2 "What Is My Normal Weight?" We often.. hear It said: "They say I should : only weigh 135 pounds ac- cording to my height, but I know I would not be well if I were as, thin as that.. It seems to t e my nature to be stout 'or why should everything turn to fat? 1 don't eat any more than Blender cousin Mary, not as much, and yet look at me," While that may all be very true, be very sure you do not say that to yourself for too long a:time, and shut your eyes to the steadily increasing layers of fat that creep round and round your body so slyly. You may be shocked 'come day when you aro complacently walking through some large building where people gather. Every one else around imay : look as, though they came out of a fashion plate with their slim silhouettes which mattes you unconsciously think you also appear as they, until you sud- denly find yorsele standing in front of a long mirror that shows' every' line and curve to its fullest extent. 'Oh lak'a mercy on us! this none of I. But it is "nte," and :-iter a few in- ward debatings you may right there and then decide to diet and starve Yourself. Yoe may even resolve not 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. 'rhe bacon is frying In the pan sending up delicious odors, the coffee smelts 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 yon know you might have eaten less, only bow are you going to do it? And you say to yourenitt "There is no use talking, I Rist can't do with- out alt these good things," This' is why one is apt to give up after such experiences. It would be easierto be more litre the tortoise in the age-old fable, "Slow and steady wins the race." But liow can we re- duce if eve do not know bow to go about it? Nearly everyone knows what he or she should weigh. If you do not know ask your family doctor's advice IIe knows your physical condition,. Your hereditary traits, your build, and will give you a much better idea of normal weight than by following a certain ilxed rule. When you have decided on your normal weight then keep it in mind and work for it, Keep on with your general rules. work out menus of your own from them and have the satisfaction of knowing that you are getting started. Successful reducing is a matter of, months, not days or weeks. (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. Write your name and address plain- ly, giving ,number and size of such patterns as you want. Enclose 20c in stamps or coin (coin preferred; wrap it carefully) for each number, and address your order to Wilson Pattern Service, 73 West Adelaide St., Toronto. Breakfast 1 Slice very dry toast, latter ?i tea- spoon. Coffee clear or 1 orange. (This may not look like very much 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 1 cup cooked spinach on 1 slice toast spread with very little butter. Place poached egg on OD. or.. 1/3 cup canned salmon on % head of lettuce, one table spoon mineral oil dressing, 1 large or 2 small chocolate creams and tea. ° Flying High!

Method—Put vinegar in a quart sealer, add condensed milk, smooth the mustard with a little vinegar and add to the mixture. Slightly beat eggs and add the eggs and the all and salt—seal the Jar tight and shake until well mixed. Keep in a cool place. Add lens's juice if desired or whipped Dream when using. (This dressing will keep well and is a very good standby.) Another very good variation for a salad if a change is desired is to take out the required amount of dressing, add a grated onion r•r minc- ed chives, I dessertspoon, minced: green popper and 1,4 cup chili sauce.

' To bathe immediately atter a meal is to invite trouble; before breakfast is: good for the vigorous and robust, brit it gives no opportunity for leisurely sun 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 been .,in the water some time, it is proof that your bathe has already been too long. Always leave the water whilst stiil warm.

Salt water is unpleasant when al -1 lowed to dry in the hair. If fresh water is available, have a thermal) rinse in it after your bathe. Cramp is not dangerous if you keep. calm.

Swimming is the healthiest of exer- ckses, 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. "I must have made a hit at the party last night. Everybody seemed to be talking about me." "They talked still more about you after you left." Teacher—"Now, Bertie, wbat do you think a land flowing with milk and hooey would be lilts?' Boy—"Sticky." Iitty-'_And did you let him kiss you?"

"I know, I told him that was the only rest I had!" BUD FISHER' Nurses Mix Babies Mother's Frantic Solomon himself would have been hard put to it to find an equitable solution of the quandary in which two married couples in Chicago re- cently found themselves. Two wo- men gave birth at the same time to babies, and the nurses got the identi- fication labels mixed up, so that now nobody knows which baby is which. The uncertainty seems to have upset the mothers to a far greater degree than it has affected the fathe'•s. All sorts ot scientific tests hare been family likeness will enable them, they declare, to make certain identi- fication. In case they should then fiord that a mistake was actually made and tbat each has got the wrong child, they will exchange children, and all will be well, they believe. But will it? -The methods of up- bringing vary in every individual household. A child brought up for a few years in one (tome may find that to be suddenly transferred to another means all the difference in the world between happiness and a vague dis- comfort not to be translated into words. Moreover, surely dining the• intervening years the respective mothers will have grown so fond of the children they are individually bringing up that they will not want to make any .change, 110 matter what sort of family likeness develops. This matter of mixing baby identification tags is getting serious. Some other method must be adopted.A rubber stamp, with the name and the doc- tor's signature affixed, would perhaps held a whole lot,—so long as the wrong baby was not stamped.
