Printed Caption:

 Samuel calleth upon the Lord in the time of wheat harvest for rain.
I Samuel 12:17,18


Is it not wheat harvest today? I will call unto the Lord, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the Lord, in asking you a king.  So Samuel called unto the Lord; and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the Lord and Samuel.  (KJV)
