Hoyt When Abram started on his Jour-{ ney into the land of Canaan, lie was accompanied by others of his! family. But on the second lap of I his Journey, after he had stopped ( to buYy bi* father, we find that ! only his nephew. Lot. is mention-1 ed us his fellow pioneer. What became of the others Is not known Os course, there were' many others in the caravan, for Abram and latt represented the heads of two tremendous households. They were rich In cattle and herds. They had many followers. There were the families: of their servants; their own irn-I mediate relatives; and all of the I household goods which aeeompan-1 ; led these nomadic people on their journeys. So it was not strange when they) finally came to Canaan they found i i their number uncomfortably I crowded. There had been births' and additions. They came into a land already inhabited. And this I I added population made living a problem. So Abram generously' gave Ix>t his choice of going, ' where he would. And Lot chose the Plains of the Jordan. Down into the cities of the ’ plain went Lot. He was a sturdy! man of the soil. He had lived in 1 the open and slept beneath the ' stars. He was used to combating t the storm and wild beasts. He was accustomed to,- fresh air and, sunshine and the sleep of deep tiredness. And he left this for the gaiety of the city. Bright lights were lit. He visited the spots where life was gay. j He forgot the task which was be--1 tore him. At last, he came to ; Sodom, whose name to this day means the ultimate of wickedness. i And there he remained, to stew in l I his own juice, to waste away to nothingness and to leave a name remembered only because of his brief association with Abram. We must meet the trials of life and mast face the combat as it faces us. If we are to succeed in i. the rjndeavor which lies before ' and to make the most of the ■ talents God has given us. we must i; seek to emulate the example of i Abram—and not that of Lot. “Nora. Wake Up” — D. C. H, S., Apr. 17 and 21. _frUsat

church is of late Norman and Earlv Pointed cruciform design. The ground plan is unusual. The west end of the cross forms the nave, and the shorter end is the chancel. Nave and transepts extend only 23 feet from the central' tower. The remains of the abbey include most of the tower, nearly the whole of which remains. Soj do the walls of the south transept.. However, less than a half of the i west front is to be seen with its | richly molded and designed door-! way. The north and west sides of Hie transept and part of the chancel still stand. I The predominant feature is the great central tower, which sugi gests the keep of a Norman castle |as one approaches from the disi tance. It rested on four Early Pointed arches, each 45 feet high. [ of which the south and west exist. It was supported by piers of clustered columns. Above the arch in the Norman! i porch is a small chamber with an 1 interlaced arcade with a network gable. It was in Kelso that Scott's < "Minstrelsey of the Scottish Border” was published by the Ballantynes before they removed their presses to Edinburgh.

Canaan was afflicted with famine at this time, and Abram and his followers went into Egypt, where they remained until conditions improved. Then they returned to their chosen land, and journeyed back to Bethel, where they established 'hemsslves in the excellent pasturage. But trouble broke out among the herdsmen. They quar-eled over the division of the cattle and battles followed.

Then it yas that Abram called Lot to him. "Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and tnee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen. for v•: are brethren,” he said. "Choose which you will —the land to the right or the left —and I will take the opposite direction.” Lot considered: "I will take the cities of the Plain of Jordan, which lies to the left,” he finally declared.

When Lot had made his choice. Abram went to the right. It was a land of plenty and of beauty. “Lift up thine eyes.” Jehovah commanded. “Look from the place v.here thou are northward and southward, eastward and westward. For the land which thou seest, I will give to thee and to thy seed forever.” So it was in this land that Abram finally settled, establishing his capital at Hebron.
