The conduct of the captive maid, the way that she bore herself in that heathen home, is a strong

witness to the power of early home training. There is no higher trust than that committed to fathers and mothers in the care and training of their children. Parents have to do with the very foundations of habit and character. By their example and teaching the future of their children is largely decided.
The parents of that Hebrew maid, as they taught her of God, did not know the destiny that would be hers.
Centuries after Naaman returned to his Syrian home, healed in body and converted in spirit, his wonderful faith was referred to and commended by the Savior as an object lesson for all who claim to serve God. Many lepers were in Israel in the time of Eliseus the prophet, the Savior declared; and none of them was cleansed, saving Naaman the Syrian. Luke 4:27. God passed over the many lepers in Israel because their unbelief closed the door of good to them. A heathen nobleman who had been true to his convictions of right, and who felt his need of help, was in the sight of God more worthy of His blessing than were the afflicted in Israel, who had slighted and despised their God-given privileges.
