Abram had been 10 Haran FIVE
years. You can strike roots in five
years. In five years you can form
lifelong friendships, begin to think
that the place belongs to you, and
that you belong TO the place. In
five years and in less than Ave years,
q former purpose may be so obscured
as almost to pass out of sight
Five years ago, let me say. you
had purpose which filled your life.
You broke with your past then, and
set out on journey to something
better than you had hitherto known.
The call Of God was in your soul.
and although the future was dark, a
| land You did not know, 1t was the
Land Of Promise. your home Gland, a
land that held your life's best things.
and You started on your way.
Then you came To Haran. Some
thing unlooked-for claimed your at
tention. The main stream of your
thought was interrupted: the main
purpose of your life broke into side
issues. There were new demands of
such a nature that You could not ig-
more them without dishonor. These
held you SO firmly that they seemed
inseparable from your life. And it
may very well DO that you are now

roots have struck deep.

You will remember that call was TO
something supreme: 1t was a call to
nothing less than complies sur

and the service Of your Lord, That
was the Canaan to which you set
out, Then YOU came To Haran You
found duties there YOU could not pos
sibly ignore, and into which you could
do no other than throw your strength
Now II may be that those duties
have been discharged. and that you
