     * Samuel.
       Samuel reverenced Eli as a father, and feared to distress him
       by shewing what God had purposed to do.  It does not appear
       that God commanded Samuel to deliver this message; he
       therefore did not attempt it till adjured by Eli.  It might be
       supposed that Samuel would have been so full of ecstasy as to
       have forgotten his ordinary service, and run amongst his
       friends to tell them of the converse he had with God in the
       night:  but he modestly keeps it to himself.  Our secret
       communion with God is not to be proclaimed on the house-top.

     * feared.
