Schootlessor l I \ International Sunday School Lesson for April 24 ABRAM’S GENEROSITY TO LOT Genesis 13:5-15 Rev. Samuel D. Price, D. D. In ordinary times the old saying is true: “Money makes money.” Certainly at all times it is a fact that sheep make sheeps It was so in the case of Abram and Lot his nephew. They had goodlv herds when they left Haran in Mesopot amia and the animals kept on mul tiplying until both men were cat tle owners of real consequence. The ever increasing animals brought the problem of sufficient water and grazing places. % The herdsmen of each owner became jealous for the charges under their respective care and began to contend over the open pasturage. Uncle Abram, like many uncles we know, was a truly big man. He loved his nephew and felt a keen responsibility for his care, and Lot often needed just that help. It was noble of the older man to say “Let there be no strife.” Harsh words must be faced after they are spoken , and years are often required to overcome the scar, that is made in a moment of lack of self control. Mindful of the great open country Abram proposed that there be a separation of flocks.. A good bit of fresh air will stop many from quarreling and even a brisk walk around the block is a seditive. Oo- portunity for first choice is graci ously given by Uncle Abram to nep hew Lot and the" selfish younger man chooses the better portion. As they looked toward- the Jordan val ley the fields seemed greener there. Yes, and so was Sodom, with all of its profligacy which evidently had become a place of recreation for Lot. Certanily they were not Jehov- ahmen there and Lot endangered his moral and sniritual life by heading in that direction. It may have been because Abram was disheartened at this evident selfishness on the oart of Lot. Right then Jehovah gave a wonderful compensation in a renewal of the vision and promise which peldg*?d a transcedent future. • DE LA HOWE NEWS The Annual Junior-Senior Re ception was given Saturday night at the home of Mrs. J.
