to A spot where he would be undis- turbed. We shall be fruitful" he said confident that by the peaceful pursuits of industry he should be prospered. This last place was all the more desira- ble because it was not far from Beer Sheba, the old home. to which ne had easy access, and where he might re- fresh himself with memories of other days.
 Promise--(Verses 24 and 2s) Under all
 these annoying circumstances 1t ds evident that Isaac acted conscientious ly. That te was greatly tried can not be doubted. but that he was sus- tained constantly by a desire to be peaceable and righteous no one can question. At the close he needed and received Divine assurance. without which he must have been in mental unrest. God appeared to him, reveal- ing himself as the God of Abraham, (Gen. xvii, D thereby recalling the terms of the covenant. bidding him net to fear and renewing the promise Sf presence and blessing. The hope of posterity was also awakened. dearer than any other hope to the heart of the orientailst. but resting solely upon the word previously delivered to Abra- ham. Isaac showed his appreciation of this gracious approach and promise by building an altar (Gen. xii. D and en- gazing in worship. He had thus come into rest, his envious nefghbors remov- cd from him. his abiding place fixed with heavenly blessing upon him.
 Summary--There are two ways of ex- plaining this passage in the life of Isaac. He may be regarded as a weak and timid man. unprepared for contact with an evil world. As such his course is not to be taken as worthy of imita ton. but rather as an illustra lion. That view is legitimate. inasmuch as none of the Scripture characters are perfect. and none of them are held up as examples. On the other hand 1t may be thought that Isaac was out of his proper place. that he should rave remained nearer to Beer -Sheba. that the Philistines were right in seeking to disposessess him, and that be was right in retreating before them. It often occurs that good men go where they ought not. and that trouble arises in consequence, leading them back to their proper sphere. In either of these views there Is a warming Tor Sll. Bravely to meet those who oppose Is not the least of duties. To keep within ones circle. of privilege is the way to rest. But there is always a blessing for him who makes peace. (Matt. V, 9.)

A PLAIN TALK TO
 SENSIBLE PEOPLE

There are thousands of people afflicted rith chronic diseases who have not known
 well day for yean:, although not con- D. but totally incapacitated for work or -,leasure.
 I want to convey a word of hope to such sufferers. You are not incuIab!e, but you will never be we'll unless you give your condition some serious, intelligent thought and realize that health is the most valu- able possession to be had, and that the best treatment Is not too good for you.
 1 have been specialist for 20 years, which time has been devoted exclusively to the treatment of chronic diseases. have treated more cases than any other physician and my patients reside in every State of the Union.
 l have treated thousands of cases. and cured them promptly, which had been un- der various kinds of treatment for years. Every case which comes to me I find re- Quires some special attention. which no ready-made medicine can reach, and this explains why a cure cannot be expected from patent medicines. There is some Mining in medical science which can reach your condition. and cure you, but special treatment must be prepared for your own individual case.
 My long experience and acknowledged skill warrants me in saying that 1 can cure 98 per cent. of all cases undertaken. I study carefully every case, and treat 1t on it's individual merits. 1 use no ready made medicines. and warn you against the folly of experimenting with so called free" samples. many of which are noth- ing more than poisonous and injurious stimul3nts.
 If you are afflicted with any chronic disease. such as Bladder and Kidney Dis eases, Blood Poison. Rheumatism, Ca tarrh, Varicocele. Structure, Lost Man hood, etc. you owe 1t to yourself to talk only the best treatment, which Is always the cheapest in the end.

 troduction--Probably thirty years elapsed between the events of last les- son and those now to be studied, the history of which period Is very briefly sketched After the test of faith the convenant was renewed with Abraham, Shortly after Sarah died, and she was buried in the cave of Machpelan Tn ground purchased from Heth. The trusted servant of Abraham was sent to Mesopotamia to secure wife Tor Isaac and Rebekeh, daughter o< Bethuel, Isaac's cousin, was brought back. Abraham married Keturah, Canaanitish woman. Isaac's two sons' Jacob and Esau, were born. The lat- ter sold his birthright for &eFs of pottage. Isaac removed to Gerar where he was the time of our lesson. This Is the whole of the Scripture story. No mention is made of the outisde world except as neighboring tribes touch the chosen people. The sacred penman narrowed his view to those who were in the covenant, de- signing to show how the plan of God unfolds.
 Prosperity-(Verses 12, B. 14) Under the old dispensation little Is said con cerning the life beyond the grave. It was for Jesus to make that known. @ Tim, 1-10) Before His time men were trained to regard the interests Of the present life. Earthly good was the chief reward of the righteous. very prominent element in the promise made to Abraham. (Gen. xiii, ID Soft came to pass that great riches were regarded as the g c of God, the evidence of His favor This opinion would find easy acceptance among pastoral peo- pie who live very close to nature. whose success depends largely upon the weather and the soil and those con- ditions that are supposed to be under the direct control of God. The specu- lations by which wealth is now accu- mulated were not then extensively practiced Hence. we learn that Isaac, with Ged's blessing. greatly prospered in the land of Gerar He reaped abundant harvests and had great f1ocks and herds. dealing in grain and in stock
 Expulsion-(Ve~ses IA, 15. 16) A pros porous good man is an unwelcome neighbor to an unfortunate wicked man. The contrast in worldly estate reflects upon the latter to the dis arrangement of all his qualities. And so the Philistines envied Isaac. That envy was increased by the considera- tion that he was a stranger among them. a foreigner who was with them by their courtesy. TEccl. iv.
