given by Rev William Pence James. of
ST. Paufs church, and was an informal.
but highly interesting talk on the sub
]ect OF Abraham, the Pioneer" Abra-
ham. he pointed out. was the first
clearly defined historical character who
energies in the book of Genesis. He
was a man who lived, who loved. who
had ideals and who was not afraid TO
i've up to those ideals. He illustrated
by several instances, that traditional
knowledge is after all. not uncertain
knowledge. One of the chief character
lstics of Abraham. he said. was that tho
he made mistakes and sometimes went
astray, always, wherever he went. he
built an altar to his God. and forgot
him not. Turnout his talk Rev Mr..
James emphasized that Abraham was a
man, like other men. and from his life
drew the lessons that God is not away
off, God is in the world. and thru man
he is working out his purpose of
perfect manhood and perfect woman
hood: the necessity of true manlness.
of true character: the value of little
things; and the power of the ideal.
Touching upon the latter point. the
speaker pointed out that the age of the
pioneer is not past, as Illustrated by
the comparatively recent beginning of
women's clubs. and said that tho Won
derful progress has been made, there
is still room for the ideal. and for the
pioneer women with that ideal. 10 lead
on to higher things.
