Director of Eve ning Department 'The Nlood-y Bible In stitute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR FEBRUARY 16 THE CALL OF ABRAM. LESSON TEXT-GEN. 12:1-9. GOLDEN TEXT-"I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and be thou a blessing."-Gen. 12:2. The Bible does not profess to a be a chronological history of the world. It does profess to reveal the steps of the redemptive process of God where by fallen man shall be justified In his sight. So it is that we find but little record of those hundreds of years be tween this lesson and the events re corded in that of last week. We do, however, find all that is essential in the history of the plan of salvation. The cleansing of the earth by water was not for long, since we soon see men relapsing into sin. 1. "Gat thee out of thy country," vv. 1-3. In this lesson we behold God again selecting a single man who shall be the head of a race. We do not of course infer that Abram received an audible call, though God could certain ly speak as he did on other and numer ous occasions. God calls today by these Inward impulses and desires, by the voice of duty and conscience, by the force of circumstances, and by the word. The Bible is God's great est organ of speech. Abram's Journey. From Acts 7:2 we learn that the call first came to Abram when he was in Mesopotamia, probably on the right bank of the Euphrates river, and that his obedience to that call was only partial. Abram got out of his own country, but not into the land prom ised unto him. He journeyed probably 500 miles to the northwest but got only as far as Haran, which was not the promised land. It took, evidently, the death of his father to move him from that plice, Acts 7:4. Abram went. not. kuow iug tier kind of a land, nor was he told wlwre it was to be. Heb. 11:8. His call was threefold. (1) "for thy country," (2) "thy kin dred," (3) "thy father's house." Thus ve see that God demanded a complete separation from the old life, associa tions and affections. II. And Abram departed," vv. 4-6. "To obey is better than sacrifice and to hearken than the fat of rams," I Samuel 15:22. Abram had just enough faith to obey. We do not read that he asked for enlightenment: he saw not the land, but he heard the call and staggered not at the promise. He was fully persuaded that God was able to perform and therefore it was reck oned unto him for righteousness, Acts 7:20-22. But he did not go alone. Al ready God had begun to redeem his promise (v. 2). Abram's character was such and his name of such import that his nephew Lot accompanied him. Lot, however, did not possess that same faith nor a like character. Lot went ''with him" and not, like Abram, with God. Abram also took his own family with him, and "all their Rubstance" v. 5. Nothina was left be- I - Is ma~fkinlafl .hie n is a bSOltly wVi1t -u a (n equi 20.000( t''ns of 'co bnt hive morS Ith 11 or 1-.0 ' o 14.000) t')t wvon't go as far' who)( uses5 thi-; fiIh good of on will h:,ve ativantanxes in erIt'p (10' nt us t 'Ihis fish entf dS v ft r fr-m all we \ca C81 a~ther., I erlop this year.

F'REElv ROBINSON & TH hind to tempt him to return. "Au they went forth into the land of Ca naan," a type of the life into which we are called In Christ Jesus. Thus at once another part of the promise is fulfilled. IIL "And the Canaanite was In the land," vv. 6-9. All was not so easily settled for Abram. "Man that is born of woman is of few days and full of troubles," no life is devoid of its test ing, Eph., 6:12, R. V., and so as Abram journeyed he met with enemies. His Place of Rest. Passing on from thence he reached a place of rest (v. 8). This is a beau tiful lesson on consecration. Here is Abram at "a mountain on the east of Bethel" (house of God). Notice he is on the east of Bethel facing westward, the direction in which he has been journeying, having Hai (ruins) at his back, and "there he builded an altar unto the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord". (v. 8). Let us all remember to turn our backs upon the world, and as we face the house, the altar of God, render him undivided, whole-hearted worship and service. God's appearance to Abram was again in connection with obedience. God is just as ready to assure us as we jour ney through this humdrum, toilsome journey of life, ever ready to meet us and to make us glad by the way. Notice that Abram in a strange land did not neglect God's altar like many a present-day pilgrim, nor to give tes timony of his faith for "called upon the name of the Lord." Like the Christ who "had not where to lay his head," so Abram was a "pilgrim." For the older classes consider such questions as, Every Man's Life a Plan of God; Our Debt to Judaism; Our Treatment of Others Who Are Pil grims. Strangers, e. g., immigrants. For the younger do not omit Lot and the dramatic, high-light picture of that journey from tir of the Chaldees (use a map). Emphasize how much better it is to be a blessing than to seek a blessing for one's self. "Not what has happened to myself today, but what has happened to others through me." "So on I go. not knowing I would not if I might; 'd rather walk In the dark with God Than walk alone in the light: I'd rather go by faith with Him Than go alone by sight." -Dr. David J. Burrell. sacred to the Memory of S'ster Lucretia Jones. Whereas, our Heavenly Fath r saw fit to remo e from us by the cold hand of death our much oved friend and sister Lucretia ones.
