God came unto him in Ur of tbt Chaldees and said unto blm. 1. ^‘Get thee out of thy country.** It was necessary for him to break the strong attachments which bound him. 2. Get thee out "from thy kindred.” He was not only to leave behind blm tila natlvs land, but his relatives as well His kindred being Idolaters, he wost separata himself from them. S.

Abraham never settled down, even in the land of promise. He was a true pilgrim. He was content to pass through the land because his eyes were fixed on “a city which hath foundations, whose builder wu) maker is God.” V. Abraham Tested (Heb. 11:17-19). 1. At the command of God he Offered up Isaac (v. 17). He went out from the country in obedience to God. He laid down his bob on the altar In obedience to God. 2. The promise of blessing was wrapped up In Isaac (v. 18). The promise involved this particular child, not Just any descendant. 3. The supreme venture (v. 19).

He said yesterday that up till 19 and 20, less than 26 per cent of the taxpayers money was »*>- i sorbed by grafters on its way to the outside world, but now, with modern ' accounting systems, only about 26 per cent of all receipts fail to be disburs- 1 ed over and above board.

There is a certain cigarette that is being advertised which seems de stined to rid the country of all kinds of anti-fat nostrums and sitting up exercises. Apparently this cigarette will keep your tummy from becoming overly large or distended and it will stop your gooxler from making an ugly shadow.

English courts have held, for exam ple, that marriage by registration may be legal in Hussla but cannot be ao recognized In England. A Kussian woman who sued for judicial separa tion and maintenance, stating that she and her mat<^ had registered their union in Moscmv, got the separation all right, but had no legal claim for mainfenaqce when the court saidfi **1 have come to the conclusion that the petitioner and respondent were never husband and wife.” To another case a man accused of deserting his family defended himself on the ground that he married the girl after dark.

The next morning the three sisters—Calen dars, Amelia and Carmen—drew lots to see which one would die to release the spirit of their brother from tor ment. It fell to the youngest, Calen- darla, sixteen. Lashed for Six Hours. Calendaria accepted her fate with out a murmur. Her parents and two sisters stripped her naked and tied her on a bed. With a knout, made of heavy knotted ropes, they began to beat her. Each member of the family In turn took the lash and beat the girl while the others knelt In a corner and chanted^ mystic (ncantatlons. From time topline theyswould stop and ask the girl If she wosV,ready to Join her brother. Each tlmenCalendarla would answer, “Not yet; (keep on.” After six hours of beating she died. A few days later,V when one of the surviving sisters went to the village she told the story, relating that now her brother’s spirit was at peace.

That ia the reason the Ford car has given such satisfactory service to mil lions of motorists ail over the world and has been chosen by ao many large companies that keep accurate coat fig ures. In every detail of construction it been carefully planned and made f >r the work It has to do. The design of the compression chant* her is an important factor in the effi ciency of the Ford engine. It is built to allow free passage of gases through the valves and to thoroughly mix the fuel by producing turbulence within the cylinders during compression. The spark thus flashes quickly through the whole fuel charge, resulting in quieter and more effective engine performance. Other factors are the direct gravity gasoline feed, the specially designed carburetor, the new hot-spot manifold, aluminum pistons, chrome silicon alloy valves of larger diameter, statically and dynamically balanced crankshaft and flywheel, the simplicity of the electrical, cooling, lubrication, and fuel systems and accuracy in manufacturing.
