justification mean? While he was yet
a little child, of course, he knew not
God. But did his lack of knowledge
amount to unbelief? If so, what man-
ner of unbelief? As soon as he learn-
ed of God did he not believe? And if
he believed in God, according to Eli’s
teaching, was not his “faith counted
for righteousness,“and was he not the
servant of God by faith? And did not

“THE BOY SAMUEL.”
How old was he when it was said
of him that “he did not yet know the
Lord?” How did he obtain faith in
God? Did it not come to him, as it
does to all, by hearing, and hearing by
the word of God? Was he justified by
faith? Was repentance a prerequisite
to his faith? Or, as Dr. Alexander
puts it, the “condition of faith?” If he
was justified by faith, from what was
he justified? Was he a sinner in the
sight of God? If so, in what did it
consist? Had he transgressed the law
of God knowingly? If not, in what
sense had he sinned? Was it his
Adamic pollution? Did he repent be-
cause he was of the seed of Adam ac-
cording to the flesh? Did Eli teach
for a little child to reach the service of
God save through repentance? Is sin
a prerequisite in the case of a little
child to the service of God? If repent-
ance be a prerequisite to faith, in the
case of little children, then sin is a
prerequisite. But such is not the case,
and never was. Faith is a prerequisite
to the witness of the spirit both in the
child and the adult, and in the case of
the sinner repentance goes before jus-
tifying faith, and faith before the wit-
ness of the Spirit, and the Spirit
gives the witness of sin forgiven and
of adoption and of worship by which
the forgiven sinner becomes the ser-
vant of God by faith.
