The birth of Isaac ClaughterO
17:19, and the setting aside Of the son
of the bond woman, story so rich
with suggestiveness, forms the con-
nection between the lesson Of last
week and the one Of this week.
I. Sacrifice Required. God dio
prove Abraham" (R W w. 1-2. Abra-
hams ready response. Behold me,
here am l." gives evidence of his life
long habit of obedience. He was ready
for sacrifice or service. His habit OF
taking God at his word prepared him
for this final act of testing, and per-
fecting, of his faith. The revised YER
sion prove" is a better rendering than
the authorized version tempt" God
does not tempt, i. E., solicit men to
evil Jas. 1:13. but he does prove"
men; see Elk. 1920 and I Peter 1:12.
Abraham had been tried before but
what father is there who will not say
this was the supreme test, for he is
called upon to give up his, "only son,
whom thou cherishest."
Abrahsm's Faith.
Superficial critics have taken occa-
sion to make light of a God who would
make such demand upon an earthly
father. We need to remember that
Abraham had doubtless witnessed hu-
man sacrifices in Chaldea and that
having seen Gods faithfulness and his
past deliverances, he had enough
faith to believe that God could in his
own Providence deliver Isaac. Fur
ther, attention has been called to the
exact language of the text, viz, Gods
demand was that Abraham "offer" (not
"kill") Isaac as a sacrifice. The liter
al language is make him go up up
on the altar, doubtless in symbol. We
read elsewhere, Heb. 11:17 that "Abra-
ham offered up Isaac" but we know
he did not kill Isaac. Those who
stumble at that part Of the story miss
the great lesson God intended to teach
in the record Of this incident. How
ever, Abraham was ready to do ". 10Y
what God himself did actually do when
he gave his "only son. John 3:16,
Rom. S::32. Isaac was the child Of the
promise, hence the only son (cf. Gen.
21:12). This makes the text more Sc
we're for Ishmael had been sent of,
21:14 God today is calling upon faith
ers to sacrifice their sons, and fathers
are sacrificing though not always unto
God. We must put our children upon
the altar Matt 10:37.
II. Sacrifice Granted. Abraham
rose up early" Wv 80 The writer
of Genesis has left US to fill in the
emotions and the mental agony that
must have surged through Abraham's
heart, yet we again see a wonderful
illustration of prompt obedience, CT.

No doubt Samuel Adams found the
interview a trying one, and WINGED a
little under the examination of tho
calm and steady soldier, going so
straight to the point, for all his Vir-
ginian ceremony.
There had been many outward
signs of the demogogue in Adams ca

deliberately planning and scheming
for independence ever since 1868, and
had made public avowal of his pur-
pose no longer ago than last year. 1t
must have taxed even his adroit pow
ers to convince these frank Virginians
that his purpose was not rebellion. but
liberty; that he venerated what they
venerated, and wished only what they
wished.
