WORLD AIRLINES
FORESEEN BY LINDY
Transoceanic Connections
Are Predicted in Broadcast
to Five Continents.
By thy Associated Press.
NEW YORK. August Trans
oceanic airlines connecting all parts of
the world are predicted by Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh as a development of avi
ation to come within the next few
years.
Speaking twice yesterday over the
most elaborate hook-up of radio sys
tems ever established, a hook-up de
signed to carry his voice over the
American continent, Europe. Asia,
Africa and Australia. Col. Lindbergh
declared that the most important ef
fect of aviation will be upon interna
tional relations.
"When measured in hours of flying
time.” he said, "the great distances
of the Old World no longer exist. Na
tions and races are not separated by
the traditional obstacles of earthbound
travel.
"The last few' years have seen the
extension of airlines over every conti
nent. The next few will bring trans
oceanic routes to unite these conti
nental services into a network covering
the entire world.”
The first broadcast of the speech
failed to reach England and Europe
because of a storm at sea which inter
fered with transatlantic sending.
The second broadcast, although in
tended for American listeners, also was
sent on short waves, which made it
available to European hearers, although
the difference in time would have
brought it in during the early hours
this morning.
It w'as Col. Lindbergh's first delivery
of a prepared radio speech.

HANNAH, A GODLY MOTHER.
I Samuel, i.l-28; ii.l-11, 18, 19;
iii.l-18.
Golden text—“My son, hear the
Instruction of thy father, and
forsake not the law of thy
mother.”—Proverbs, 1.8.
Hannah, the godly mother of Samuel,
ranks high among the mothers of his
tory. She was a woman of piety, prayer
and purity, yet her position among the
women of her day and generation filled
her heart with great sorrow. It is
quite difficult for us to realize the fact
that her longing for the joys of mother
hood was something more than the in
herent desire of human nature. There
is more to it than that, for in those
days a woman's home and social stand
ing depended upon her being a mother.
If the years passed and the woman had
no little one to nurse, or even if she
had daughters but no son, her situation
in the home and social circle became
almost unendurable.
Although Elkanah, her husband, was
devoted to her and loved her, the fact
that he had taken another wife, whose
sharp tongue stung Hannah with the
sting of a viper, added to her sorrow.
In the eyes of the community, especial
ly of the women, Hannah knew that
they considered that she had failed in
doing her duty. One year, when the
family had made their annual pilgrim
age to Shiloh, the divinely appointed
place of worship in those days, to
ohserve the “Feast of Tabernacles,”
Hannah was filled with sorrow. During
the journey of about 13 miles from her
home, Hannah's heart was heavy with
her disappointment and affliction. She
took advantage of her opportunity to
present her desire for a son to Jehovah.
While she prayed, Eli, the aged priest
observed that she did not cry out, al
though her lips moved. He misjudged
her actions and charged her with being
drunk. This added to her sorrow, but
when Eli knew the purpose of her
prayer, he gave her his blessing. This
gave her confidence that her prayer
would be answered. She left Shiloh
expecting that Jehovah would fill her
heart with joy and give her a son, whom
she promised to dedicate to His service
and rear him as a Nazarite.
Prayer Answered.
When her prayer was answered,
Hannah had a double joy, because her
sorrow was over and God had answered
her prayer. She called the young baby
Samuel, so that whenever she spoke of
him, the godly woman recalled that he
had been “asked of the Lord,” for such
is the meaning of his name. Probably
no factor played a more important part
in molding the character of her son,
than his mother’s prayers. It is true
in our day, as it has been throughout
history, that the agonizing prenatal
prayers of mothers have played a promi
nent part in determining the personality
and work that men have performed in
the development of the Kingdom of
God.
During his student days at Colgate
a number of students met In the writer’s
room after we had faced one of the
most important questions of our lives.
In the course of the heart-to-heart
talks that night one of the students
referred to the fact that his mother had
given him to the work of the ministry
before he was born. Soon every man
present told how r his mother had by
prayer pledged his life to the Mas
ter’s service. God hears the cries of
the praying mother for her unborn
child today. When the mother pleads
with the Lord for her child during the
prenatal period, it insures the child a
welcome and training in a Christian
home. There never has been an hour
when the need of parental responsibil
ity should be emphasized more than
the present. Parents should recognize
their scriptural responsibility to pray
during the prenatal period and through
life for the Lord’s blessing upon their
children. Our neglect to do so is a sin
and Ls largely responsible for the pres
ent attitude of children toward their
parents and the cause of Christ’s King
dom.
Jeremiah was called and set apart
for his prophetic office before his birth.
John the Baptist was a child of prom
ise, given in answer to prayer in ac
cordance with the annunciation made
by the messenger of God to Zacharias
when he was engaged In God's service
in the temple. The parents of Hudson
Taylor, founder of the China Inland
Mission, believed that they should fol
low the Old Testament requirements
and dedicated their first-born child,
James, to the Lord. The tremendous
influence of Methodism can be traced
to the prayers of the mother of John
Wesley, who set her young child aside
for God's work and promised that she
would see that he received a religious
training. The mother of Augustine, the
eminent theologian of the Roman Catlr
olic Church, gave him to the Lord and
followed him with her prayers through
out 30 years of his life, much of which
Augustine spent in a dissolute manner
of living. God heard his mother’s
prayers. Many of us recognize that we
owe to the prayers of a sainted mother
our personality and powers.
Fulfilling Her Vow.
Hannah did not return to Shiloh for
worship after Samuel was bom until
he had been molded by her life and
teachings for the place he was des
tined to hold in history. He .probably
was about 6 years of age when Hannah
brought Samuel to Shiloh and com
mitted his training as a servant of Je
hovah to Ell. the priest, wjio had seen
her pray and had given her his bless
ing and prayers. In fulfillment of her
vow, Hannah dedicated Samuel to the
work of the Lord. During the days he
spent in God’s house as a servant and
apprentice Samuel was a subject of his
mother's prayers and labor, for she
made his clothes and annually carried
them up to him in the tabernacle,
where, under the instruction of Ell, he
was being trained to become one of the

greatest men in the Old Testament
dispensation. He closed the period of
the Judges and helped to establish the
kingdom and founded the prophetic
order. He has won a place in literature,
as he is recognized as the author of the
Book of Ruth, one of the most beauti
ful productions of all time, that we
studied last week. He composed the
Book of Judges and the First Book, ol
Samuel. .
Samuel owes his greatness under uoa
to the influence of his godly P® rel i,'j
and the instruction given him by eh
during the days he served Jehovah in
the tabernacle. Samuel’s early labors
reveal the possibilities of children being
saved and becomng identified with the
service of Christ and His church. Many
of the leading ministers and religious
leaders of the Christian church found
Christ during their childhood. When
at the pinnacle of his greatness Samuel
recalled his indebtedness to his mother.
All great men realize their debt to the
mother who gave them birth.
Although Samuel owed much to the
instruction and influence of Eli, he had
to make his own decLsions and dedicate
his own life to God's service. When he
was 12 years of age he heard the call of
God, but he did not know that it was
the voice of Jehovah summoning him to
His service until Eli made it clear to
him. Under the guidance of Eli Sam
uel personally responded to God’s call.
The decLsion he made than marked the
crisis in his life. Too many parents and
teachers overlook the fact that our Lord
condemned the attitude taken by His
apostles when parents sought to bring
children to Him. so that He might bless
them. He loved children when He was
here in the flesh, and is as desirous
that they should be brought to Him
now as He was when He walked among
men. He is calling the youth of today
to enter His service, just as He called
Samuel. Let us assist every boy and
girl to realize the importance of hearing
and obeying the voice of God. Our
