BEGINNING OF THE HEBREW Ma
TON.
The International Sunday School lesson
Tor July Is is found in Genesis xii 1-S.
The golden text is I'd verse of the lesson,
Il VIII bless thee. and make thy name
great. and thou shall he a blessing" The
scene was laid in Chadea, 1926 B. c. This
weeks lesson takes US to Abram, so We
may be said to have but one lesson on
the first 1000 years Of the worlds history,
Tor the previous two lessons kept us at
the beginning of the story. The Bible
does not give us any record of Adams
numerous posterity, but. just the two
lines Of Che righteous and the upright
eOus, mentioning some prominent men in
each, Abel, Seth, Enoch and Noah being
among the righteous of these first 1000
years The last lesson dwelt with Noah
and the ark Now we have the call to
Abrana. The Hebrew nation began with
Abraham. After the flood the perverted
nature in men soon made itself evident
again They did not become so bad as
they were before, but they turned away
from the living God to bow down to
idols, to deifed animals and celestial
bodies There was danger of their los
ing all knowledge of Him who had ere
ated them. Under those circumstances
God called Abram out of Chaldea that
in his descendants he might have for
himself a people peculiarly his own who
should continually testify for him in the
world Notice that it was Gods purpose
ITO bless all the families of the earth
through Abram The Israelitish nation
was merely to be the vehicle through
which Gods Messing was to reach others.
AbraIn heard the call and went to the
land of Cansane and founded a great
people The lesson teaches:
1. Gods call in some instances may re-
Quire one to- give up home and native
land.
.. Gods call always contains promises
of larger blessings than one is required
to give UP.
8. Gods call demands that one should
live so as to be a blessing to others.
4 Gods call implies a promise on his
part Of constant guidance and all needed
help.
s. Gods call, when cheerfully and zeal
ously obeyed, secures especial communion
with him.
One of the best Illustrations we ever
heard of the way in which Christians
ought to seek 10 obey Gods Word was
given once by a negro preacher When
speaking on this point, he said: Bed
rem. whatever de good Lord tells me to
do. If I see it dat I must jump trOo
a stone wall I'm gwino to jump. Git
ting troo it longs to God; jumping at it
lorgs to me-" The colored brother was
IL strict accord with both faith and logic.
He had the spirit of a true soldier. We
all need the same spirit.

The other day we were looking through
a fashion magazine, says Prof Dobyns,
of the Progressive Age. We found an
article on the subject of hair dressing.
Illuminated with number of very excel

was to the effect that hereafter the Golf
fures would be worn down low; that the
style of fixing and wearing the hair had
been changed. No reason was given for
this feminine ukaSe. 1t was used in the
form and spirit of an irrevocable decree.

Religion is in Il Quiescent state during

Ministers of the modern school are be-
ginning to realize that comfort and re-
Hgfon go hand in hand. The Rev Frank
G. Tyrrel. pastor Of the Cabanne Chris
tan church, in the heart of one of the
best residence districts of st. Louis, gave
ellcourag ement to this idea when on last
Sunday evening-one Of the hottest of. the
season-he told the men In the congre-
cation to remove their coats.
Of course, his request was granted with
alacrity. TIE ladies smilirgly acquiesced
in the shirtwaist effect and things ran
along smoothly. It is not too much to
venture a belief that the sermon which
the Rev. Mr.. Tyrren preached on that
evening was thoroughly enjoyed. 1t is
expected that the attendance at the SER
vices of the Cabanne congregation will he
