They offer prayers to the God of Israel, but Abimelech the Philistine Gov--ernor, appears and mocks and insults their God. Samson denounces him as a blasphemer. Samson, when attacked by Abimelech, kills him, while the Israelites put the Philistines to flight. Philistine maidens then appear, headed by the beautiful Delilah, and dance before the victorious Israelites. Delilah employs every fascination to attract Samson who falls a victim to her charms. He accepts an invitation to visit her home in the Valley of Sorek, and while he is there, Delilah; who has been bribed by the High Priest of Dagon, persuades Samson to reveal the secret of his great strength. He resists her for a while, but -at least he reveals it. Then Delilah calls the soldiers, who have been hiding in the grounds, to come forth and arrest him, after she has shorn his locks, which he has revealed as the secret of his great strength. The Philistines put out both his eyes, and like a slave, he is forced to grind corn at the mill. Then for the sport of the Philistines, who are once more masters of Gaza, Samson is dragged to the temple of Dagon. Delilah is there to taunt him, and the High Priest, remembering the reason of the death of Abimelech, cries out that Dagon is mightier than the God of Israel. Samson breathes a prayer to the God of his fathers that for one moment he may be given back his former strength. Shaking himself free, he seizes the two pillars which support the temple, and with his great strength sways them. The roof crashes down and buries him and all his enemies. 11. 0 LONDON NEWS 11.30 CLOSE DOWN Listeners’ Subscriptions.-Changes of address may be made by giving two weeks’ notice to the Publishing Department, "The Listener,’ Box 1070, Wellington.
