ENVIRONMENT.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
In dealing with stories Of the p~atriarchal
age. the men Of that period stand out in
such bold relief that for the lime We may
lose sight Of their environment and regard
them as patriarchs Of the world rather than
Of q small community, and with authority
over a very limited area.
Abraham was in most respects similar in
position and authority to the Bedouin sheiks
Of to-day. To estimate him Alright. We
must remember that he was a separated
man. chosen Of God for a specific purpose
that he himself understood. because it had
been clearly revealed to him. and that in
the path Of obedience to divine direction he
walked steadfastly and unhesitatingly, even
when the time came for separation from
his wife. Sarah. the wel-beloved.
He knew perfectly well the civilization
and progress Of Chaldea. with its great
cities and splendid palaces and temples, be-
cause he had partaken OF it and came out
OF 1t. Again n again he had touched the
civilization Of Egypt, which wal of q very
high order. He must have known that in
Canaan were represented all grades Of civ
iIization. from the commercial cities of Tyre
and Sidon on the coast. to nomadic life in
the interior.
In imagination We may with profit again
become Abraham's companions.
BESIDE HIS DEAD.
Sarah. the true wife and fond mother, Is
dead, and in all the great record We find no
other statement Of the 3 at which any
woman 6ied. The aged patriarch Il over

above all estimated? Alas, darkness had en-

At last the struggle ends. He arises in
strength and makes the usual additions.
The time has come when he must decide
upon a place Of sepulture for his beloved.
He Is a citizen of the land. His allegiance
is not to Chaldea. the home of early years.
nor to Egypt, the place OF occasional So
journ, but to Canaan. his land of promise
in which. as yet, he has no direct owner
ship. but which by faith he has possessed.
Some thoughts that come to him in his
deep sorrow are not new. but there is
more definiteness to them than before, be-
cause an immediate necessity is upon him.
He recalls how often he has regarded the
field and W owned by Ephron the Hit
tite as one entirely suitable for a family
burial place. Now he must settle the aues-
ton, and that promptly. for custom and cli-
mate require prompt interment-

what God has promised as mis- own peculiar

Of the offer. He understands the situation
perfectly; he speaks decisively 20 Ephron:

It Is as II he is wearied with the circum-
locution In q simple transaction.
Now Ephron shows his hand clearly. His
rrice IL definitely settled in his own mind
and his method of getting It is worthy of
the man. In view Of the painful circum-
stances attending Abraham's errand there
would scarcely be demur. though Ephron's
price be ex~tortionate. and Ephron knows
this also:

land worth 400 sheckles of silver: what is
that betwixt me and thee? Bury, therefore.

The sum IS large. but the compliment
