st. Paul explains that all true Chris

from the Gentiles, become spiritual seed
of Abraham-neirs of certain spiritual
promises, as the natural seed are heirs Of
certain earthly promises not yet fulfilled.
AS the natural seed must maintain their

God: the one class that they may inherit

The Children of Abraham

Abraham's children. from Gods stand

in Cod The original evidence of this
faith and obedience was circumcision of

upmistakable emphasis at the last cleo
ton, increa sing the democratic majority
in the House and reinforcing 1t with a
majority in the Senate.
Il think that we should fairly and
souarely carry out the pledge IN our plat
form of giving the country a tariff for
revenue, and that we should follow the
views OF the President-eleet BY reaching
that basis gradually but surely; that leg

manufacturers time to reorganize their

changes, without destroying any legiti-
mate enterprise.
Time for Other Questions
I'VE have plenty of time declared SEN
ator Johnston, Ito take up other and i'm

are good roads and some plan for the
government to cooperate with the states

II believe" said the senator. that
revision of our financial legislation is
most important. National banks should
be authorized to employ considerable
portion of their capital and surplus in
loans in productive real estate. which is
after all, the safest security that can be
found when wisely made. Also the ques-
ton of rural credits should be dealt with,
that would give some relief TO our ssarm-
ers.

one worthy of our best efforts" said
Senator Johnston. lis reduction in onr
enormous expenses. and consequently in
the number of our officials. This should
be handled carefully and with an eye
single to the public service. The ten
dency to increase expenditures has grown
enormously within the past ten years,
not only In the federal government but
in the several states and municipalities,
and must be severely checked, or it will
end in disaster.

'All these questions" said the senator,

hearty support given by every demo-
cratic member of the Congress to the

Abraham's Great Faith in God

Abraham was full " faith This fea-
ture of his character specially endeared
him TO the Almighty, who. because of IL;
styled him His friend. As st. Paul writes,
abraham believed God. and II was ac-
counted ohm for righteousness. Gal
atlans iii:6.) II is not claimed in the Bible
that Abraham was perfect, nor that any
man is perfect. The reverse Of this is de-
clared: "There is none righteous tper-
fect), no, not one" None measure up 10
the glorious image of God, as represent
ed in Adam before he fell
Neither was Abraham the friend of God
because Of his great education. nor because
of any wonde erful intellectual powers.
Nevertheless, we see that he had intellec-
tual powers. The fact that he was very
rich indicates that he was a good man
ager His skill as a leader of men was
shown at the time that Lot and all the
wealthy Sodomites were taken captive by
Chedorlaomer and his associates. Abra-
ham promptly armed 3lS OF his own SER
wants, pursued the victors, routed them
and recovered the spoils.
But it was not for his skill as a general.
nor for his generosity that God loved

esteemed in him is repeatedly mentioned

Il will bless thee. and make thy name

Verse 2.
Abraham is one of the greatest eharac-
ters in history. The most enlightened
peoples OF the earth look back to him as
the divinely appointed channel through
whom all their religious hopes and pros
poets have been received-Jews Chris
tians and Mohammedans. Gods promises
made to Abraham constitute the founda-
ton of faith for all these peoples. al
though many of them are not aware OF
the fact.
The Jews are Abrahams natural de-
scendants through Jacob while the Mo-
hammedans represent specially the Ish-
maelite and Esau branches of Abraham's
family. Christians profess that they have
become heirs to the chiefest blessings
promised to Abraham's seed by becoming
joint heirs with Christ Jesus, whom they
consider the antitype of Isaac and heir
to all things
The New Testament claim is that the
Church of Christ-partly from the Jews
and partly from the Gentiles--is the anti
type Of Rebecca. Isaac's wife and Joint
heir. Abraham typified Jehovah God.
Isaac typified Jesus Christ and Rebee-
ca typifed the church. The New Testa-
ment also claims that this spiritual seed
of Abraham is yet to be Gods agency In
blessing natural Israel and all the nations.
But, alas. much of the New Testament
teaching was lost in the darkness of me-
dieval times.
Christians forgot that they were to be
joint heirs in Messiah's kingdom, to bless
all the families of the earth. Instead,
they got the narorw view that merely
the sanity elect would be saved, and that
they to all eternity would look over the
battlements of heaven and see all others
of mankind in torture, and to all eternity
hear their groans Only now are Bible
students gradually getting freed from
the creeds and back to the teachings OF
Gpd's word. Only now are. they learning
the true import of st. Paufs words to the
church, 'Tf We be Christ's, then are ye
Abraham's seed and heirs according To
the promise. Galatians iii:29.
One would think that under such cir
cumstances every Jew. Christian and
Mohammedan would have absolute conf
derce in the fact that Abraham once
lived. Yet, strange to say, learned Jews
and Christians of our day reject Abraham
and the promises which God made him
as merely mythical legends. How strange
that they do not recognize the inconsis-
tency of their positionl The Jew or the
Christian who repudiates Abraham
makes himself foolish in the eyes of all
intelligent thinkers.

Gods Call to Abraham

The name Abraham signifies Father of
q multitude. 1t was given to him after
he had responded to God s call and showed
his faith and obedience. Originally his
name was Abraham, which signifies eX-
allied faith. Abraham's birthplace was
Ur of the Chaldees 120 miles north of the
Persian gulf. His father, Terah. was a
heathen. Polythesm prevailed-the wor-
Shipping of many gods.
From Ur the family migrated to Haran
about 500 miles in the direction of Pales-
tine. There Abraham remained until his
father Terah's death. Gods dealing with
Abraham, according TO st. Stephens ac-
count (Acts vii.2. 81 began while he was
still in Ur. God called him out of the
midst of the evil surroundings to be tho
founder OF new nation that would he
holy and obedient TO God. Abraham rec
ognized the message as from the Lord.
and obeyed Him.
Evidently the Lord fixed no earlier date
than the death of Terah for Abraham's
going to Canaan. Otherwise Abraham
would not have been justified in delaying
the matter. The migration from Ur 10
Haran took them away from the idola-
trous scenes of the metropolis to the
quieter conditions of pastoral life.
1t was in harmony with this divine call
that Abraham. Is years old. at the death
of his father rerah. journeyed to Canaan.
There were no landed estates then. The
Henry George idea of free land prevailed.
Abraham's elder brother. Major, had
married. His brother Haran and Terah
had died. Abraham. with the remnant Of
the family, his half sister Sarah Orin-
cess, who had become his wife. and his
nephew Lot, the son of his brother Haran,
took their focks and herds to Canaan,
the Land of Promise.
