Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Sermon Delivered by Rev. John W. Sayers, Department Chaplain, on Sunday, July 1st, 1894, at the Encampment of the Dept of Pennsylvania, Grand Army of the Republic Samuel was one of the most remarkable men of any age of the world. From his birth, through long years until his death, his life is a study for the philosopher and statesman, and an example to all men who would fulfil a useful mission in the world. Dedicated before his birth to the office of a Nazarite, he was, at a tender age, consecrated in the tabernacle to the order of the Jewish priesthood. He was the last of the Judges of Israel and the first in the line of succession of the prophets. In his childhood, while sleeping in the Tabernacle, God revealed to him in a vision the calamity which would befall the house of Eli. He saw the sad realization of that vision, and witnessed the miseries of Israel during the following years of their forgetfulness of God and their disobedience to His laws. He warned his people against their idolatry, secured their promise of repentance, and gathered them together at Mizpah for a reconsecration, where, by libations, fastings and prayer, they renewed their covenants to God. At this well-remembered spot, just twenty years before, the Philistines had attacked and overcome them with great slaughter, leaving thirty thousand of their footmen dead upon the field. This same enemy had heard of their second assemblage at Mizpah, and had again come up against them to do battle. Israel was unprepared for fight. Their mission was one of humiliation and repentance, and not of war. Unarmed, and in the presence of hostile forces, they realized, in their extremity, that nothing but divine intervention could help them.
