Sunday School Lesson BY REV. HUGH T. STEVENSON. ABRAHAM, THE HERO OF FAITH." 12.1-25:8; 11.8-19. (A Survey of Abraham’s Life.) Golden Text— Abraham be- leved God, and it was reckoned unto himfor righteousness.— Romans, 4.3. Genesis, Hebrews, During the coming six months our lessons furnish us a great serles of studles of the outstanding characters! of the Bible. The first quarter will be devoted to Old Testament heroes and the next will be glven to New Testament personalities. In twenty- four lessons we will virtually cover the whole Bible, for, like all history. it centers around the biography of its great leaders in every epoch. The lesson committee has given us the opportunity to study the Seripture portraitures of the “Great Men and Women of the Bible" separately, and yet they have selected the characters for our consideration In a way that they represent the coursa of events recorded in the Word of God. Our studies ought to give us a view of biblical history, which, like all the annals of men, reveals “God teaching by example” that ought to inspire us by the “footprints on the sands of time” to glorify the Lord in a life of sacrificial service. Abraham naturally comes first In the list of personalities that we are to study. Three of the world's great religions, Judaism, Mohammedanism and Christianity, trace their faith to him. as the human fountain head of their religious tems. No other human being has a larger place in the history of the Bible than the founder of the Hebrew nation. the father of the falthful and the friend of God. It is a far cry that will reach back through 4,000 years end travel 6,000 miles to the suburbs of Ur of the Chaldees, far away in southern Babylonia, now oc- cupled by the mounds of Mugheir. where Abram was born. The modern explorer's spade has unearthed the evidence of the elaborate worship of Sin, the moon god. that was carried on with a magnificent ritual and un- der its polytheistic atmosphere Abram was reared by his wealthy tather, Terah, a Shemetic shepherd sheik, who hud been attracted by its rich pasture lands and wonderful | we cannot trace our physical descent harvests. Although the purity of his father's faith had been tainted by the religlous standards of the nearby wealthy city, so that he and his family became worshipers of idols. ¢ there commenced at that place ch an intimate and close fello ship between Abram and Jehovah that God honored him by calling him “my triend.” Abram's unique fello ship with Jehovah resulted in h! being called to become the pioneer of fait Two former attempts to redeem man had failed when the word of the Lord came to Abram. Aqam had missed his opportunity. The de- scendants of Noah had falled when God called his friend. We do not know how he summoned the patri- arch. Possibly the death of his brother, Haran, in Ur, and of his father, Terah, at Charran. may have been used to develop his power to apprehend God and understand his call for Abram to leave all the tles and associations of his life and travel vest under sealed orders. Jehovah had called him first in Ur and then at Charran. He summoned Abram to start out as a ploneer of a new faith when he was seventy-flve years of age and to leave a position of prom- ise, plenty and the protection of civ- ilization to go to an unknown coun- try. It costs to obey God's call, but the consequenced are aiways beneficial. Abram was promised “the blessings of prosperity, place and power. The propulsive forc: of these promises Was not personal profit, for they ap- pealed to unselfish desires of future good to all the world. He was sum- moned to separate himself from everything that he held dear so that he might make his life a blessing to others after his death. Separation I8 the key of the life of the pioneer of faith. Supported by the promises of Silovan Abram proved his faith by obeying God's call. In that act he laid the foundation stone of the history of God's chosen people and also of two other great faiths. Moved by the promised presence and guidance of His eternal and unchangeable friend, Abraham entered upon his journey and finally reached Canaan The story of the emigrant, or the one from beyond the great river, which i3 the meaning of the mickname, the Hebrew, that the natives applied to Abram, relates only the start and fin- ish of the journey. The peril, priva- tion and protection given him during that thousand-mile journey served to increase the ploneer’s faith in Jehovah. He revealed this by his public wor- ship, when he bullt an altar and with his caravan, that must have num- hered 2,000, gave a practical proof of his faith in the unity of Jehovah. Everywhere along the journey he built his altars and worshiped God. He had separated himself from Ur and had traveled trusting in the promise of the Lord to show him the land. When he worshiped Him in the presence of the Cananites Abra- ham received the promise of the land that he then looked upon The Bible always portrays men as they are with all their defects and virtues. Abraham is no exception. The writers have indicated the de- velopment of his faith by referring to his deficiencies. The glory of the gospel is that it teaches us how God uses imperfect men in building up His kingdom. Possibly his going down into Egypt was prompted by famine oonditions. Instead of trust- ing the Lord to provide, the patriarch went down into the land of plenty. When he reached Egypt it is evident that his faith was weak. He betrayed there a vein of duplicity and deceit that we would not expect from a friend of Jehovah. There is encour- agement to all sinners In the fact that if God could mold such a man into a noble hero of faith He can make us what we ought to be, if we will surrender our all to Him, &8 Abram did finally. Upon his return from Egypt the religlous ploneer once more recognized Jehovah by worshiping Him. He, that had lfed in Egypt needed to draw near to Jehovah to obtain restoration and help to meet future trials of faith. The test came quickly. The dis- putes of servants had reached their! masters, so that Abram and Lot were rapidly approaching a olash because the land was not able to support thelir large flocks. Domestic relation is one of the strongest tests of our faith. Abram proved the reality of his religion that day, when standing upon the heights of Bethel he waived his rights in the interests of peace. If the world leaders could possess in this hour of travall the spirit of Abraham, that eliminated all self interest, permanent peace would be a teality. The generosity, greatness and goodness of Abraham's character was seen in his proposal to Lot, “Let there be no strife between me and PLAN INTERMEDIATE DAY. Intermedlate department day will be observed in the Sunday school of the Vermont Avenue Christian Church tomorrow morning, When that depart- ment, under the leadership of Mrs. Alten G. Grinnell, superintendent, will conduct the opening exercises of the school. JOINS CHURCH FEDERATION. At a meeting of the session of the New York Avenue Presbyterian Church Thursday night it was agreed that the congregation should become a member of the Washington Federa- tion of Churches. This action has been contemplated for some time, but has not been officlally, taken until now, £ thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen; for we are brethren. His magnanimous proposal revealed the spirit of Abram that made him the friend of God. He was moved by the desire to preserva peace among them so the pagan heathen would not have a false view of Jehovah. While Lot showed a selfish spirit, he reaped the results of it when the four kings took his property and household in their raid of Sodom. It came _later when Sodom was de- stroyed. Abram ' won a victory over the four kings and then won a great- er one over himself. The hour of triumph is full of peril. Abram showed the attitude of faith when he refused the rewards offered by the King of.Sodom. This may have been the reason for the heavenly visitors’ call upon the wandering’ shepherd and their acceptance of his hospital- ity. They gave Abram In their first divine revelation the assurance that God planned to make of His friend's seed ‘a great nation. It called for faith to accept such a promise that was opposed to all human experience. Abram belleved God and made a covenant with Him. There was an error in his accepting his Wife's pro- posal in reference to Hagar, although it was in accordance with the ethics of that age. When Jehovah appeared again_ to His friend it was to change His name and that of his wife as & token of His promise that in her old age Sarni would be a mother of an heir who would be the forerunner of a new race The birth of Isaac was a striking proof that God was fafth- ful to His promise. In the third revelation of Jehovah there came the climax of Abraham’s faith. There was an_immediate response and he prepared to offer his beloved son. Pagan neighbors could point to their sacrifices of their children as an evi- dence of their loyalty to_ their tribal gods. Abraham was not hehind them in his devotion to Jehovah. When he heard the Lord's demand that he ofter up to Him the sacrifice of Tsamc Abraham proved that he was willing to give God his best Jehovah spared His friend from offering up his son. Under the sym- bol of & slained animal the demand that Abraham heard God speak was satisfied. He showed by his atti- tude and action that he possessed a profound religlous life ~He was not to be child sacrificer like his pagan neighbors. Jehovah called him to be the founder of a new faith and race that was destined after many struggles under the leadership of the prophets to free itself from even the bocasional practice of such barbarous ACLS. While this noble figure rises from the mists of the past, history has placed him among her gréat men of all the ages. Well may Isracl be proud to have him as thelr founder. We ought to rejoice that we can claim him &s our spiritual father. even if from the friend of God HOME MISSIONS, TOPIC. Mrs. Harvey S. Irwin Will Address| Church Society. Mrs. Harvey S.
