GOD'S PURPOSE FOR ABRAHAM LESSON TEXT—Genesis 12:1-9 GOLDEN TEXT—In thee shall al families of the earth be blessed —Gene sis 12.3. Separation, which means release from the influence of those things which hinder full development, is a blessing even though it may be difficult. God had a great purpose in mind for Abram, but to accomplish it He had to get him out of his own country, away from the downward pull of heathendom, and out into a new adventure of faith with Him. Down in the midst of those who worshiped the heavenly bodies was a man who had found that there was no satisfaction for his soul in such worship. He had found the true God, and was ready to respond to His call. We find Abram I. Hearing God’s Call (vv. 1-3). Men who have been used to accomplishing great and good things in the world have, like Abraham, been willing to step out into the dark. They have not foreseen greatness nor even striven for it. but have gone out at God's call, obeying Hirn day by day, and He has been responsible for the outworking of their destiny. How important it is to have the listening ear, and the obedient heart. He was attentive to God’s word, and willing to take Him at His word. Abram was strongly attached to his homeland He was a man of such strength of character and obvious ability, that he undoubtedly held a place of real importance in his own country. To leave that and go out to an unknown destination (Heb. 11:8) called for real faith and Abram had it! God had a purpose in calling him out—the establishment of a great nation. Through Abram all the nations ; of the earth were to be blessed. That ’ stupendous eventuality hung in the . balance until he decided to obey ! God, and we are glad he did. When God takes anything from us, ! we can be sure that He is planning ' a greater blessing to take its place, i Material loss often brings spiritual | blessing. Separation from family : may give a broader relationship to 'others. Sacrifice fur the Lord's service brings hundredfold returns (MaH, 19:29). 11. Responding to God’s Command (vv. 4-6). As the Lord spoke, so Abram departed He was to be the channel of God's blessing, and he put him- ■ self in God’s hand for His use. The , lives ’of each of us may, in our own I way, be the channels of God’s bless- [ ings to those round about us; but ! only if we, like Abram, respond to ' His call. The. migration of Abram from ’ Chalcfea to Canaan is one of the most ' important events in all history It was one of the grand turning points in the story of the human race. The fad that Abram took with him his entire family into the promised land, reminds us that we are not to go alone into the Lord’s heavenly kingdom. We are to take our families with us. Note also that Abram brought his substance, his riches, with him. That tells us anew that when a man comes into the household of God through Jesus Christ, he is to bring his purse with him. Consecrate i your substance as well as yourself and your service to God. I The journey of Abram ended (v. 6) in what is said to be the most beautiful spot in all of Palestine—but even here difficulty faced him, for “the Canaanite was then in the land.” Even so, the Christian life is not one of ease and idleness, but of heroic endeavor and victory. The Promised Land is a type, not of heaven, but of the Christian’s life and experience. We, too, find the : Canaanite in the land. There is a constant struggle with the world, the flesh and the devil; but there is victory in Christ. 111. Receiving God's Blessing (vv. 7-9). God kept His promise to Abram. True he did not see the entire fulfillment of it, hut is that necessary to the man of faith? God says it, we believe it; it becomes our present possession by faith, though the enjoyment of it may be yet to come. Note that wherever Abram pitched ' his tent he built an altar. He was not too hurried or busy to remem- 1 ber God. We, too, are pilgrims and strangers in this world. Let us not | fail to raise an altar to God. Wher-j ever we may be, let us leave a testimony for Him. For such a man, God could well have a high purpose. He was among that noble company who in all ages have “simply obeyed each day the divine orders which were given them, took each day the way of prayer, of righteousness, of duty; content if they had light enough for : that and the next step, leaving to | • higher will ill tbit should come ' alter. And Gcd charged Himself with their destiny” (X G. Greenhoug|p. -— • •

NORMAN THOMAS (Continued From Page One) the charter was dratted. Thomas eaid there was nothing in the charter to guarantee a basis for enduring peace or the abandonment of power polities and imperialism. Still, he said, “1 believe that the United States will be in a bettei position to lead in the establishment of such a basic if it should ratify the charter and in good faith use its constructive provisions for an increase in woild cooperation. Committee cjiairman Tom Connally. D„ Tex., said the group probably would meet in executive session tomorrow to vote formal approval of the charter. Senate debate i«s scheduled to begin July 23. The committee vote was expected lo be overwhelmingly in favor of the charter, but there was some question whether it would be unanimous. Sen. Hiram Johnson, R-. Calif, ranking Republican member and a leader in the fight against the League of Nations 25 years ago,, indicated he might vote against i the new charter. He said he had not made up his mind definitely, however, and had some inclination “to go along with the crowd.’’ Johnson, who had sat silently through most of the testimony of the last four days, interrupted late yesterday to debate with one witness the possibility of having to send troops overseas in the future to' quell a breach of the charter’s provisions. The witness was Lt. Comdr. Livingston Hartley, Washington, a veteran of European service on leave and now serving as Washington director of the American asso-1 ciation for United Nations. Hartley said the men overseas

Even on surfaces that become dull red, where the heat actually burns out the paint vehicle, the aluminum flakes still adhere, says the report. It is further stated that it actually stores the heat and keeps the temperature higher inside and lower outside a boiler, furnace or pipe, improving operating efficiency and at the same time rendering working conditions in the vicinity more tolerable for the »eamen. o — — Speech Vibrations Although the human ear can hear sounds with vibrations of from 16 to 16,000 per second, • virtually alt sounds in American speech cover less than half that range, and the bulk of sounds used in ordinary conversation fall within 500 to 2,500 vibrations per second. For this reason modern hearing aids are de- : signed for most effective operation in this “conversational range.” I o Landscape Work Landscaping can add much to the beauty and enjoyment of a home.
