Years rolled on, and every year Hannah made with her own handa garment for Samuel, and took it over tohim. The lad would have got along well without that garment, for 1 suppose he was well clad by the ministry of the Temple; but Hannah cguld not be contented unless she was all ‘the time doing something for her darling boy. ‘* Moreover his mother made him a little coat, and brought it to him from year to year, when she came up with her hus- band to offer the yearly sacrifice.”

1, Hannah stands before you, then, in the first place as an industrious mother. There was no need for her to work. Elka- nah, her husband, was far from poor. He belorged to a distinguished family; for the Bible tells us that he was the son of Jeroboam, the son of Elihu, the son of

were distinguished people, no doubt, or jtheir names would not tioned.

Hannah might have seated herself with her family, and, with folded arms and dis- heveiled hair, read novels from year to year, if there had been any to read; but when I see her making that garment, and

}pleasure. God would not have a mother ‘become a drudge or a slave; He would have jher employ all the helps possible in this 'day in the rearing of her children. But | Hannah ought never to be ashamed to be found making a coat for Samuel.

Most mothers need no counsel in this direction. The wrinkles on their brow, the pallor on their cheek, the thimble- imark on their finger attest that they are ifaithful in their maternal duties. The bloom, and the brightness, and the vivacity

in this day, when there are so many books on the subject, no parent is excusable in being ignorant of the best mode of bring- ing up a child» If parents knew more of dietetics there would not be so many dyspeptic stomachs, and weak nerves, and incompetent livers among children. If parents knew more of physiology there would uot be so many curved spines, and cramped chests, and inflamed throats. and diseased lungs as there are among children. If parents knew more of art, and were in sympathy with all that is beautiful, there would not be so many children coming out in the world with boorish proclivities. If parents knew more of Christ. and practiced more of His religion, there would not be so many little feet starting on the wrong road,

The eaglets in the eyrie have no advan- tages over the eaglets of a thousand years ago; the kids have no superior way of climbing up the rocks than the old goats taught hundreds of years ago; the whelps know more now than did the whelps of ages ago--they are taught no more by the lions e: the desert; but it is a shame that in this day, when there are so many opportunities of improving ourselves in the best manner of cultivating children, that so often there ia no more advancement in this reapect than there has been among the kids and the eaglets and the whelps.

3. Again, Hannah stands before you as a Christian mother. From her prayers, aud from the way she consecrated her boy to God, I know that she was good. A mother may have the fiaest culture, the most bril- liant surroundings, but she is not fit for her duties unless she be a Christian mother. There may be well-read libraries in the

and that is true in all ages. Every mother gets full pay for all the prayers and tears in behalf of her children. Thatman use- ful in commercial life; that man promin- ent in a profession ; that master mechanic —why, every step he takes in life has an ‘echo of gladness in the old heart that long ago taught him to be a Christian, and heroic and earnest.

The story of what you have done, or what you have written, of the influence you have exerted, has gone back to the old homestead—for there is some one always ready to carry good tidings and that story makes the needle in the old mother’s tremulous hand fly quicker, and the flail in the father’s hand come down upon the barn floor witha vigorousthump.

Look out for the young man who speaks of his father as the ‘‘governor,” the ‘“‘squire,” or the ‘‘old chap.” Look out for the young woman who calls her mother her ‘‘maternal ancestor,” or the “‘old woman.” “The eye that mocketh at his father, and refuseth to obey his mother,the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eaglet shall eat it.”

God grant that all these parents may have the great satisfaction of seeing their children grow up Christians. Butoh! the pang of that mother who, after a life of street-gadding and gossip retailing, hanging on the children the fripperies and foliies of this world, sees those children tossed out on the sea of life like foam on the wave, or nonentities in a world where only bravery and stalwart character can stand the shock! But blessed be the mother who looks upon her children as sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty.

From the awkward cut of Samuel’s coat ‘you know his mother Hannah did not make jit. Out from under flaming chandeliers, and off from imported carpets, and down ithe granite stairs, there has come a great ‘crowd of children in this day, untrained, jsaucy, incompetert for all practical duties \of life, ready to be canght in the first whirl of crime and sensuality. Indolent ‘and unfaithful mothers will make indolent ‘and unfaithful children. You cannot expect neatness and order in any house | where the daughters see nothing but slat- jternliness and upside-downativeness in {their parents.

I bless God that there are not many prayerless mothers—not many of them. The weight of responsibility is so great th at they feel the need of a Divine hand to help, and a Divine voics to comfort, and a Divine heart to sympathize. Thousands of mothers have been led into the kingdom of God b the hands of their little children. There were hundreds of mothers who would not have been Christians had it not been for the prattle of their little ones. some day fn the nursery, they bethought

to raise for eternity. What is my influence upon it? Not being a Christian myself, Christian? Lord help me !”

Are there anxious mothers, who know nothing of the infinite help of religion ? Then I commend them to Hannah, the pious mother of Samuel.

Scriptures. That is the mother’s recom- pense, to see children coming up useful iu the world, reclaiming the lost, healing the sick, pitying the ignorant, earnest and use- fulin every sphere. That throws a new light back on the old family Bible when- ever she reads it, and that will be oiat- ment to soothe the aching limbs of decrepitude, and light up the closing hours of life’s day with the glories of an autumnal sunset.

There she sits, the old Christian mother, ripe for heaven. Her eyesight is almost |gone, but the splendors of the Celestial | City kindle up her vision.
