Nothing is more difficult than properly to administer reproof, except it be properly to receive it. Elkanah seems, on this occasion, to have managed it with extreme delicacy, and with happy success. He kindly insinuated, that she ought to feel consolation in her husband's regard; and that a becoming submission to Providence is at all times our duty.
Then Eli blessed her and said: "Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant thee the prayer that thou hast asked of him." Then Hannah was no longer sad. Her prayer was answered, and the Lord sent her a little son, and when he was old enough, she took him to the temple, for she had promised the Lord that the child should be His. So Elkanah came bringing sacrifices, and the young child was with them.
The last bell clanged its final stroke, the vibrations ceased, the rustle of skirts and the sounds of decorous coughing subsided and were succeeded by the dry rattle of the hymn-book pages, the organ, presented by Captain Elkanah and played by his daughter, uttered its preliminary groan, the service began.
And the sons of Elkanah; Amasai, and Ahimoth. As for Elkanah: the sons of Elkanah; Zophai his son, and Nahath his son, Eliab his son, Jeroham his son, Elkanah his son. And the sons of Samuel; the firstborn Vashni, and Abiah. The sons of Merari; Mahli, Libni his son, Shimei his son, Uzza his son, Shimea his son, Haggiah his son, Asaiah his son.
"I said that daughter of yours, or niece, or whatever she is, this Grace Van Horne, has been meeting young Ellery, our minister, in Peters's grove. Been meeting him and walking with him, and kissing him, and " "It's a lie! It ain't so, Elkanah! Prove it or It it CAN'T be so, can it? Please " "It is so. She's met him in those pines every Sunday afternoon for a long time.
Them Danielses cal'late they own the most of this town already; if they owned the minister they'd swell up so the rest of us would have to go aloft or overboard; we'd be crowded off the decks, sure." "No one owns him. Haven't you found that out?" "Yup, I cal'late I have and I glory in his spunk." "I'm glad to hear you say so. Of course Cap'n Elkanah is boss of the parish committee and " "What?
The year before Elkanah went to New York, the old fellow had built himself a brand-new house, and Hepsy Ann was looked up to by her acquaintance as the daughter of a man who was not only brave and honest, but also lucky.
Captain Elkanah's face was flushed, and he fidgeted. The minister looked determined but calm. "Ahoy there, Elkanah!" hailed Zebedee cheerfully. "'Mornin', Mr. Ellery. Been havin' officers' counsel, have you?" "Good morning, Captain Mayo," said the minister. "'Mornin', Zebedee," grunted Elkanah. "I have hum ha! been discussing the regrettable affair of last night with Mr. Ellery.
He is too small to leave; but when he is weaned, I will bring him, that he may appear before the Lord, and there abide forever. The good Elkanah was satisfied, saying, 'Only the Lord establish his word; for he had not forgotten the vow. So the happy Hannah remained at home another year, and taught the child as a mother only can.
For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition. Therefore also have I given him to the Lord." Then she left Samuel with Eli. Samuel assisted Eli in the Tabernacle service, and wore a linen ephod like a priest. His mother came yearly to see him, when she accompanied Elkanah to the sacrifice at Shiloh, and each time brought with her a little coat, which she had made for her son.
