On Creamed Comment* on the Sunday School Ixntson, Biography in the Bilde, Genesis 11:31.32; 12: 1-6; IT: 1-6, for Sunday, October 10. Wr have in this lesson the portrait of a spiritual pioneer from whose faith and fortitude all liter Biblical characters either directly or indirectly stem. V. 31. "And Terah took Abram his son. and Lot the son of Haran. bis son' son. and Sara! his daugh-. ter in law. his son Abram s wife. [ and they went forth with them from Ur of the Chaldees, to go Into the land of Canaan; and they came unto Haran. and dwelt there ’ Evidently Terah lost hope and stopped half way to the promised land. Doing a thing by halves and going In the right direction only half way ends in failure V. 32. "And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in Haran" The outstanding fact about Terah is that he lived to a ripe old age and died His was a short biography. V.l. "Now the ixird had said unto Abram. Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto the land which I will shew you") Here Is God's second call; ft was in the hour of his sorrow that' God called Abram. God was to i»- first In Abram's life, leaving behind friends and native land The only way to win is to Ute a life of separation V 2 "And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great: and thou shalt be a blessing." Abram received a seven fold promise, (1) a great nation. (2> personal blessing. (91 a great name, (4) great usefulness, <S» those who gave him blessing would themselves be blessed. HI) those who cursed him would be cursed (7) the world through him would hr WbsstdT V 4. "So Abram departed aa the Lord had spoken unto him; and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed from Haran.'' When Abram left Haran he went for good. It was no trial trip He never returned Aen for OupPreacherX> j# .Mercy is a much needed virtue today. An employee was summoned to the office of the senior part tier to hear his doom The least be could expect was a blistering dismissal, he might be sent to prison. "Are you guilty?" asked the old man "I have no defense," the clerk stammered. *1 shall not send you to prison." was the v«*r diet "If I take you back, can I trust you?" Broken and surprised, the clerk replied. "Yea," and was leaving when the senior partner replied. "You are the second man •ho has fallen and been pardoned in thia business I was first The mercy you have received I received."

la visit. Abram would get away) from all forms of sin and obey I God absolutely, a lesson for all men. V 5. "And Abram took Sara! | his wife, and Lot, his brother's I i son. and all their substance that he had gathered, nnd the souls that they had gotten in Haran. and they went forth to go Into the land of Canaan; and Into the land of Canaan they came." Abram was a rich man, but his riches did not hurt him fnr he made God first in his life Though rich. Abram's only home in c*naan was a tent Which he moved from place to place. V.l. ".Wid when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the fx>rd appeared to Abrupt. and said unto him. I am the almighty God and walk before me. and be thou perfect.” Here God asserted his sovereignly At the same time He demanded of Abram the beat he had Gods sovereignty and man's obedience to duty are always found together In things which have to do with the soul V 2. "And I will make my covenant between me and thee and will multiply thee exceedingly.” A covenant means s promise God's pom Ise tn Abram as seen in verse . 4. was that He would be with him and make him a father of i many nations V. 3. "And Abram fell on his • face; and God talked with him" Abram assumed an attitude of deepest reverence. God talks with them who walk with him Walk ' ing and talking with God is man s highest privilege V. 6. "Neither shall thy name ( any more be called Abram, but , thy name shall he Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee " A man s name is really changed when his character is changed "He has a rood name " 1 is spoken of a man of character V 6. “And I will make thee ex ; ceedlng fruitful, and I will mak* nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee" This promise; is verified by history God's proin Ises never fall V.7. "And I will establish my cov rnant 18-tween rtie and thee and thy seed after thee In their gen erations for an everlasting covenant. to be a God unto thee, and, to thy seed after thee" Once God, Is accepted as the true God. one needs not to look any farther God will be talthful as the God of mankind — I Clericus Says: Clerlcus says: "God has never left his children without a witness The darkness may descend upon tie, and it may seem at tlmbs as If we were utterly with out hone, but God is In the shad ows. He has made provision for us. and in every hour, nnd especl ally in hours of darkness. He watches silently but with im measurable power over his own." Book Review Fishers of Men by lister F Sumrail. Zondervan Publishing House.
