He who tolerates evil which it is his province to suppress, is an accomplice, and the blood of the doers is red on his hands. It was a terrible message to give to a child; but Samuel's calling was to be the guide of Israel in a period of transition, and he had to be broken early into the work, which needed severity as well as tenderness.

These verses fit on to chapter viii., chapters ix. to x. 16, being probably from another source, inserted here because the anointing of Saul, told in them, did occur between Samuel's dismissal of the people and his summoning of the national assembly which is here related.
It came away quickly at first, and presented a goodly appearance for a while; but the ground, broken and softened on the surface by Samuel's ministry and the call to the kingdom, was rocky underneath, and the rock was never rent.
They might be flying Old Glory as a ruse de guerre. By George! That craft looks just like the 'Pluton." We, who were watching, saw Potter's face lengthen. He peered nervously at the rapidly approaching torpedo boat, and then tried to laugh unconcernedly. "You can't 'string' me," he retorted. "That's one of your Uncle Samuel's boats all right. See! they are going to hail us."
He probably considered that his brother Ed, having taken his fate in his hands, should expect nothing from the more timid members of the family who had stuck by the old farm. But when the elder Clark died, a will was found in which to Samuel's disgust an undivided half interest in the Field the best part of the farm was left to his eldest son and his heirs.

It was always strange to me that he, such a king, should be so subdued by Samuel's presence. It was so in life, and it was so in death. The spirit of Samuel rose, and Saul humbled himself before the shadow.

"It means," was the answer, "that the Lockman estate has a mortgage of one hundred thousand dollars on the Express." And Samuel's jaw fell, and he stood staring at his friend. "Now you see what it is to be a Socialist!" laughed Everley. And Samuel saw.
Under any circumstances, the family must soon have sought a home elsewhere, and Samuel's good fortune enabled them to take a house in Dagmar Road, not far from Grove Lane; a new and most respectable house, with bay windows rising from the half-sunk basement to the second storey.
