QUESTIONS ANSWERED.
Any person may send any Biblical ques-
ton to Dr. Gilbert, 1903 r street, this city,
and receive answer in The Star.

239-Do the Scriptures assign any reason
for the call of Abraham to be the father
Of the chosen people?
Answer-Yes 1t was Gods purpose to
make a nation of the descendants of one
man, the usual method of those times-what
is known in history as the tribal plan. The
chief quality in a man who should be able
to found such Il nation fidelity to the
parental office. This was seen in Abra a N
Gen, xviii:1O, and God selected him on
that account. Moreover, there was after
ward established law in Israel by which
the family became the leading institution
Deut., vi:D. Whatever else may be said
of Abraham, it must not be forgotten that
he commanded his household after him.
and SO perpetuated the covenant and pre-
pared for the fulfllment of the promises.
240-How shall explain the fact that
Cain and Abel sons of the same father and
mother, We're so unlike, one becoming a
martyr, the other a murderer?
Answer-Three influences We're exerted
their characters may have been formed
the first congenital; the second. prenatal;
the third, post-natal. For the last of these
only they We're responsible. What occurred
before birth, while it made impression, could
not be charged or credited to them. What
occurred after birth, especially after the
years of discretion were reached, was
under their control, save in so far that the
influences of the prior time carried over to
render them susceptible. Every human life
is greatly complicated. The threads are
woven together and no one can disengage
them.
241-Was the wrestle of Jacob with the
angel a physical exercise?
Answer-Yes. See Gen., xxi, %.

but chiefly by dress in which he was

their father that he had been slain by

OF the whole company, interposed. Con-
cealing his purpose to deliver Joseph and
save his life, he pleaded that it was un-

advice was accepted. An empty pit re-
ceived the young man. who was first
stripped of his many-colored coat which
his father had made for him. The beau

proof of paternal love, was retained to be
used in deceiving the father. To indicate
the depth of infamy into which the
brothers had fallen they sat down to eat

then occurred through the ordering of that
providence that works out its beneficent
designs even against the evil devices of
men (Eph., IT'D. a caravan of merchant
men, bearing spices to Egypt, came that
way, and Judah, the fourth son, though
he had no pity. saw opportunity for gain.

Reuben first prevented killing and Judah
afterward delivered from death in the pit.
3. See how wickedness advances from one
degree to another. Envy, murder, false
hood follow in natural order, marking the
progress of sin. 4. See how the evil done
brings pain to others. The sons in the field
crush the aged father in Hebron and leave
him desolate. Their deeds fall not so much
good God overrules in all the affairs of
men, They who do evil are guilty, yet He
makes their wrath to praise Him. Joseph,

the coming of Israel. for the saving of life
in famine, for the advancement of the pos
terity of Abraham toward national great

The very ancient and quaint Shrove
Tuesday custom of playing foot ball in the
public thoroughfares was observed at Ath-

game had its inception anterior to the sign

more than 500 years the custom has been
observed In the old Walling street town.
Business was entirely suspended yesterday
while the game was proceeding, and many
trades people joined in the fun.

SO says Bacon. one who proved the truth
of what he said by his own range, readi

other place he further says: Some books
are to be tasted others to be swallowed
and some few to be chewed and dige3ted. T"
Many young readers imagine that every
book that is worth reading at all is worth,
and ought to receive, the most painstaking
and careful perusal. But this is not true
aere comparatively few books that
will repay such careful, conscientious study
Some has said there is really but one
book that will always repay the reader for
any amount of time and thought expended
upon it. When Sir Walter Scott. who had

this book if he were to lend 1t to her. He
touched the soft covers thoughtfully. He
felt great reluctance to put the beautiful

our dear beloved mother, NJ. A. Lewis,
who departed this life October 18th, 1907.
One mournful year has vanished,
Since we were forced to part,
But the memory of our dear mother,
Still is fresh within our hearts.
OH The memory of that dreary morning,
When we stood around her bed;
Until death stole upon her softly.
And We knew her soul had fed.
Twas hard to part from the one we loved,
But God above knew best:
And the thought of our aching hearts,
Is to know that she is at rest.
