SELLERS, Director of Eve ning Department The Moody Bible In stitute of Chicago.) LESSON FOR MARCH 9 THE DESTRUCTION OF SODOM. iLSSON TEXT-Gen. 19:12-17; 23-29. UlI.DEN TEXT-"Come ye out from an:1;.; them, and be ye separate saith th' Loi d. and touch no unclean thing." 2 Cor. c:17. No teacher of this lesson should cmit a study of chapter 18, even though he may not refer to it explicit ly in this connection. We have there presented a believer's privilege, (1) friendship (v. 17) (a) with God, (b) with man. (2) Intercession, v. 23; (3) knowledge, v. 25, 1 c. The art. the power, the place, the glory, the spirit, of intercession, yes, the bless ing of intercession is to be coveted by all believers. Abraham's interces sion prevailed though outwardly it sceemed to fail, see 19:26. The pre pared teacher ought also be famil iar with the story of the change of Abram's name and of God's dealing with Abroham and Sarah as re corded :: chapters 17 and 18. Lot and Sodom. 1. The Warning, vv. 17-23.-Lot had "pitched his tent towards Sodom," and iow the time for the execution of another judgment upon sin had ar rived. God, however, here gives us another illustration of his mercy which always precedes judgment. That mercy was not only to a righteous man, one who had therefore a degree of worthiness, but also to an unde serving member of the same family, see 7:1 and Acts 16:31. First of all, Lot is called upon to separate himself from his neighbors. Lot attempted to convey this warning to his sons-in-law, but it was too late, his testimony, his mant:ner of life, his aims, and his am bitio"s had corresponded with theirs for Eslh a period of time that the fact of his bclongiug to the family of the promise was forgotten and "he semed as one that mocked unto his so:s-i n-law." God is calilng us from thet' corruions and the plagues of iabylen ieV. 18:4) and to separate curs!ves from Sodom, see the golden -X C. While God is long suffering i 2 Ptter, ::9) we must also remem ber that if men will sin willfully, if they persist in their wickedness, judg ment is sure to follow, v 13, also 2 2eter ::1o, 11. When judgment does come, as it did in this case, God knows 1:0w to save his own, 2 Peter 2:7-9. o voice of sin cries from our cities :cday. The voice of poverty, of in tompcrance,. of injustice, and It meaches "before the face of the Lord," Jas. 5:4) and unless America heeds, uni'es men repent, God will most cer taily- punish, Acts 17:30, 31. This punishment of Sodom was not only the development of their own wicked as, but by direct agency of God's de stroyin~g angels. Look up the subject of Judgments. Lot, we: are told, was a righteous ran, 2 Peter 2:7, but he was most sadly connected with the world, and itweee lost his testimony (v. 14). The church of today is constantly hinder ed by the incubus of believers of this type. God exp~ects the disciple to so .parate himself from things that though lie may be "in the world, he is not of the world." Evenr Lot was loath to leave (ry. 1.3, 10P. and later many of the Isreal ltes were full of regret over the miss ing fiesh-pots of Egypt. The angels of God had to fairly drag Lot Qut of the doomed city. He came near losing bis very life as he persistently clung to his property. The greatest weapon and the. most efficient one the devil has to use in his warfare for human souls is procrastinatOi. God's Patience. TUe long suffering and patience of God are most wonderfully shown in verse 10, and the whole secret of Lot's salvation was that the "Lord was mer eiful unto him," Epih. 2:8. '. The Destruction, vv. 23.29.-Lot ecaped to a little city, Zoar, which God in his mercy promised not to de stroy (v. 21), and it was not till Lot was clear of Sodom that destruction came. God could not brenk his word. He had promised Abram, and had Abram pursued his importunitie.s, hapter 18, doubtless even Sodom might not have been so utterly de troyed. There was, as has been ~uggsted, probably a volcanic erup in of gases, petroleum, etc., but tiire accompanied it a supernatural manifstation also, for it "rained dwn" v. 24. The words "looked back," referring to Lot's wife, imply :re than a mere passing glance. Her ho'art was in the city she was leaving, h.t city so full of pride, of bread, an- of ease, Ezek. 16:49. She died as id Pliny at Pompeii, suffocated by .egases, and her body became in rited with the salt. I ice is a gift of God, we hold it only 2pcn~ certain conditions; we can. "o -se good or evil.

Buy at Pickens An Incongruity By JOHN GALLAGER JR. After my admissiou to the har a friend of Mr. Larkins, of the hw firm of Larkins. Larrabee & Lincoln. gave me a letter to him recommending ue for a salaried position in his otlice. I was advised to see Mr. Larkins at his house. where I would receive mo re friendly attention than in his oLlec. I called about 4 o'cloe.k- expecting to find him returned from his office. but -sizice he had been detained there later than usual I conrluded to wait for him. I was shown into a large draw ing room as dimly lighted as those of most city dwellings. Indeed. siunce it was winter and the days were short there was hardly any light-at all be cause of heavy window drapery. - A door opened Into a conservatory. and while sitting in profound silence I heard a succession of oaths. There were two incongruities connected with the matter. In the first place, the pro fanity came from out a profusion of flowers and. in the second. was spoken in a woman's musical voice. Further more, they did not express Irritation. the lady who spoke them seeming to be simply rolling them out just to hear them. In other words, as they were uttered there was no meaning to them. They soon stopped and were followed by a few notes of song, in the same sweet voice as the oaths. Then a young girl came out of the conserva tory, passed through the drawing room, unconscious of my presence. and, swearing like a trooper as she went. passed out into the hall and upstairs. I got a view of her as she passed a gas jet that had just been lighted, and her face was as innocent of guile as her tongue was defiled. I was especially pleased that she did not see me, for she would doubtless have been deeply mortified. Mr. Lar kins came in presently, and I presented my note of introduction, which was in strumental in securing for me the place I coveted. I soon learned that he had a daughter who was considered a beautiful girl, and I inferred that she was the one I had heard uttering pro fanity. I was curious about her, for I could not understand how a refined woman could have a fancy for listen ing to oaths uttered by herself. I had not been long in the employ of Larkins, Larrabee & Lincoln when Mr. Larkins invited me to dint at Is house. I areepted gladly and on the evening appointed appeared at the house in evening dress and wearing my best expression. It seemed singu lar that I should be desirous of im pressing a girl who could swear "like an army in Flanders.' but stch was the case. When introduc-ed to hecr I found It difficult to rep:-".; ;as :e1. thinking as I did how- si'o-kedl she would be did she know tillat I had heard her at her worst. I can't say that MIss Laura L~ark-Ins was a demure young lady. but she gave one the impression of being very refined, modest, pure. Indee~d. she wa~s the last person I would havc sup~'ose'd would Indulge in the unladylike habit of swearing. To tell the truth, there was something so novel, In such ma:Irk ed contrast in hearing a lovely girl with a sweet voice utterlug profanity that I wished she would (do it again. But Instead her words were well chio sen and pure English. there was not a bit of slang, and everything she said was refined. This introduction at the house of my employer resulted in a love affair be tween me and Miss Lark-ins. A fter whIle I was made a junior member of he law firm where I was employed, and, being approved by Mr. Lark-ins as son-in-law, I was accepted and duly egaged. While I had been fascinated y the incongruity of oaths spoken in a elodious voice, I was at times trou bled by this peculIarIty. Might not a girl ho would give vent to such expletives ae something bad about her inner self which some day would crop out o shock me? I wished to tell her that had heard her swear and hear her xplanation, but could not bring myself o do so. So I went on, subject to oc asional fits of terror lest I would mar y one whose devilish nature might urst forth at any moment. My fiancee was at the tIme 1 met her college girl. One day I took up in her house the book of a play in which she had acted as an undergr-aduate. One part, that of a man, was marked hroughout. While reading it I came upon the very oaths I had heard her utter. Here was an explanation. She had per-formed this part. A moment later when she entered the room I fired them at her. "Oh." she said, "you have been read ing the pairt I play-ed at college. We r-ls were expected to leave those wear words out. But we never did at rehearisal." "Why not?" "Why does any girl fancy what she is supposed to let alone?" Then I told her of the first time I saw her-how whIle I wvas shocked I was pleased. She said that it was that same shock, that desire to break in . upon forbidden things, that pleased girls. She also confessed that several f the girls who took part in the play. unrepnessed by authority, were in the habit of rolling out the oaths Ihad heard her use just for the pleas ure of dolng something they had no business to do. As for herself, she played the part of the man who did the swearing. I asked her to do it just once more and after that never to do it again. She decliaed to oblige me. Tax Notice.
