Context-Last weeks lesson present. ed the circumstances which led to the separation between Abram and Lot. Sometime after their settlement in their new homes opportunity was given for the former to show that he stilt cherished kindly feelings toward his nephew. It appears that a the time Lot estabnshea himself there Sodom, with other cities of the plain was sub Ject to the kings or several cities, who formed kind of confederacy, but after fourteen years of submission an at- tempt was made to throw off the yoke. The rebellion was unsuccessful. In fierce battle the army of Sodom was defeated and the inhabitants were car ried away captive. Lot and his house. hold were included among the prison CTS. On hearing this Abram armed his men, pursued and routed the conquer : ufs, and delivered Lot IL was on the return from this campaign that he met Melchizedek. king of Salem. priest or the most high God, who pronounced blessing on the victorious patriarch, and exchanged kindly greetings.
 Vision (verse 1.)-This incident might well awaken some misgivng in the mind of Abraham. Thus far he had been a man of peace, having had no controversy with any. Having now as- stunned the attitude of military chief tan and engaged the forces of neigh boring cities. he might properly imag- inc that he would henceforth be re- garded with suspicion, that enemies would combine against him. At such a time he needed some word 0t encour- agement and the voice of the Lord came to him in a vision, d method em- ,1ln oil !, he ,Nl1 1iQnanGatIOn (Dan. KID. By the pow erful agency of the Holy Spirit upon his mind strong conception and persuasion were pro- duced so that he heard what other wise could not have been known. He was told not to fear .(Luke 1:13), that no one should harm him. because God would be his shield against all who might thrust at him, an1 his reward for all his faithfulness. Psalm xVi:o.) These utterances were taken up with confidence by Abrams illustrious de- scendant, the king of Israel. (Psalm xxvii:D.

He was in suspense and darkness because childless> The orientalist felt that no earthly good was possible to him who had no offspring. A family was prized more than riches. Psalm cxXvii:5p. This was not due solely to the spirit of paternal love which was not lack ing. but to the desire for immortality, as every man expected to live in his sons (Psalm xc160 It is probable that the Messianic hope was also an element in that feeling. And so as he heard God speaking to him. Abram made his complaint the saddest that t, could break forth out of the heart, that he had no seed.

Obituary Of Elijah Corey Darling.

Born in Grafton, Windham county,
Vermont, November 30, 1872, he died in
East Randolph, March p, 1901, more than
IS years old. He was the son of Edmond
and Anna (Grifith) Darling, who with
their children, moved from Brattleboro to
Duxbury i'm May, 1921. In 1893, they
removed to Randolph Center and resided
many years. His father died when as
years old, and his mother lived to be 80.
His brother, Elliott, who was house
builder, died in Montpelier many years
ago. His brother, Edmond, who was
farmer, died in Roxbury more recently.
A sister, Mrs McClosl<y, survives him, in
Montpelier.
Elijah was II years old when the family
came here TO reside, and most of his
subsequent life was spent in this town.
Being an industrious, reliable young man,
he soon found employment on the farms
of some of the best of our citizens; and Tor
years in succession was a member of the
households of Judge Dudley Chase,
William Nutting, Esq, Loren keteham,
Lyman Wheeler and others, who learned
to place great confidence in his honesty
and efficiency.
In the course OF years, he had earned
and by economy saved some two or three
thousand dollars. But, having generous
disposition, he used considerable part of
it in assisting his relatives and others in
time of need; and lost another part by
confiding in others, who were not like
himself trustworthy.
Notwithstanding the impeachment of
deafness and partial palsy, he continued
to support himself till he was more than
SO years old, when he very reluctantly
consented to receive aid from the town.
During the past two years his eye sight
failed so that he could not read and this
he considered a great deprivation.
As he had lived in my fathers family five
years when / was young and in my own
family three years, the writer feels that
ong-known friend has passed away,
esteemed as an upright, intelligent, faith
full. sincere Christian man.
The funeral exercises on the 23d, were
conducted by Rev. Mr.. May, pastor OF the
first Congregational church in town,at the
house of stephen Turner, where he had
boarded for several years. Three rooms
were occupied by the neighbors and
friends, who came to show their respect
for the deceased. Only two relatives were
present-a cousin, Melzar Woodbury., and
a grandson of his brother Edmond, Dana
Clough.
II was a beautiful, mild, sunny day when
he was laid away in the Center cemetery to
sleep till the resurrection morn. ID. II. N.

Letter to Leon Drew.
Randolph, Vermont.

Dear Sir: You buy your horseshoes and
nails; your grandfather, If he was black
smith, made 'em. You can't afford to
hammer them out by hand, when you can
buy as good, or better perhaps, ready made
to your hand, for a little more than the
cost of the iron.
What do you think OF painter who
goes on buying his linseed oil and white
lead, and mixing, and tinting by hand,
and charging his time for work that is far
better-done than he can do it, done by
machinery, done as your horseshoes and
nails are made.
Mistake isn't it n
He is wasting his chance in the world.
There is no better stuff to do business with
than good horseshoes and paint; and no
better work than putting them on. Good
horseshoes well put on: It's the putting
'em on that makes you blacksmith: no
matter who makes EN-.
Who wants to 90 back to old times, and
make his own horseshoes2
Between us two, that painter don't know
how to make good paint-he used to; but
paint has run away from him.
Yours truly,
II +. w. DEVoE & Co.
P.S. w. f. Lamson, Randolph, and
Upper & Graham, Bethel, sell our paint
in your section.
