ABRAHAM WAS VERY RICH.
Genesis 13:1-1S-Fahr,,

Genesis 13:1-1S-February %
The blessing of Jehovah, it makesh
rich, and He addeth no sorrow
Herewith. Proverbs 1922 r V
The Bible teaches that there are NOT
many rich. great, wise or learned. who
enjoy the Lords special favor but
ch1efly the poor of this world rich in
faith But whoever concludes from this
that God is prejudiced against the rich
or that all the rich are iniquitous and
have gained their wealth through fraud
errs grievously. God is no respecter
of persons. His estimation is from the
standpoint of the heart There are both
good and bad rich men. just as there
are both good and bad poor.

son, at the death of his father doubt

Some have erred in the study of the
chronology of the narrative. Abraham
is mentioned first amongst his brethren
because of his greater prominence al
though he was the youngest son of
Terah.
After Abraham had accepted the Dr.

Canaan, his flocks and herds increased
greatly. under Gods blessing Others
of Gods servants in the past were
greatly blessed with riches: for in

Lord very rarely makes wealthy His
sanity people during this Gospel Age
1t may be asked, Why this change
in Gods dealings? The reply of the
Scriptures is that up to the time of
Christ, Gods blessings were to men as

of discipleship are that they sacrifice
their claims to all earthly riches and

difficulty in deciding is far better than

tives, but merely himself, to be the
recipient of the promises. This did not
hinder Lot from being with his uncle,
but permitted him to share the bless
ings of Divine providence, which guided
Abraham affairs. Similarly. the spir-
itual children of Abraham alone are
heirs to the Abrahan1ic Promise, and
not their friends and relatives, although
the latter may share a reflex blessing
of spiritual influence through associa-
ton with them.
These spiritual children of Abraham,
Christ and His consecrated followers,
are particularly specified as the heirs
of the Abrahamic Promise. CGala-
tians 1920. They All have faith and
a spirit of obedience similar to Abra-
hams. Jesus is their Head, as well as
their Redeemer; and they become His
disciples by covenant of sacrifice,
similar to His own.
Riches Often Bring Trouble.
Gods blessing upon Abraham, shared
by Lot, brought strife between their
servants. Abraham perceived that the
two families had better part. Lot as
scented. Abraham gave him his choice
of country, and Lot chose the most fer
tile-the Plain of Sodom. Lot made
his home in Sodom. while his focks
and herds were pastured in the region
surrounding.
Doubtless Lots wife had to do with
three years. The riches of the country
had a debasing effect upon the people.
Lots righteous soul was Vexed-thlS
more than offsetting the charm OF
country, which his wife loved. Looking
back with longing heart at the time
of it's destruction, she lost her life
Abraham fixed his heart upon Gods
promise, which appertained to the fu-
ture life. Sarah was a real helprnate
and co-labored faithfully with him for
their accomplishment. In these two
families, both we'll intentioned, we see
illustrated the difference between seek
ing chiefly the Divine approval and
seeking chiefly earthly welfare.
Many Christian people today make
mistakes similar to Lots. They allow
conflicting earthly interests to sep
arate them from Gods favor. Thus
they involve themselves and their fam
lilies in the snare of the wicked. The
Masters advice should be remembered
Seek we first the Kingdom Of God
and His righteousness
Gods Blessing Makes Rich.
Whoever has Gods blessing is rich
indeed, regardless of the amount of
earthly prosperity. Those whom the
Lord makes rich with His promises
and His favor have the joy which 9TH
ers vainly seek These true riches are
obtainable by all who learn of Gods
favor in Jesus Christ.
Gods Covenant with Abraham was
not Heavenly, but earthly and to an
earthly people. But the seed is two
fold-an earthly and a Heavenly Seed
The promises of God appertaining to
these two seeds are very different, as
our next Study will show.

There has just come to my hand, in

A doctorless land is incredible to
most of u.s. The facts have to be To-
Called to become Ineligible. Thus,
in all the life of the Bedouins of Ara
bia and North Africa today there is
not a single modern physician. All
the babies are born without doctors
aid. Every tribe and village has it's
blind, because there is no help for the
sore eyes which a modicum of mod
ern knowledge would prevent. If one
could do no more than distribute
boracic acid amid the Arabs, and
teach them how to use it, he would
have achieved monumental life
work. Spear wounds and gunShot
wounds get no antiSeptic treatm ent.
All diseases, from plague and small
pox to colds in the head, are permitted
to ravage the people unchecked. I

me man with crossed eyes, one of
which had cataract covering it, and
asked me to give him a pill to straight
en- the eyes! The medical ignorance
of two-thirds of the human race is APP
palling. Into this abyss of physical
suffering medical missions have gone
as one of the nCblest expressions of
twentieth century Christianity.
When the antiforeign spirit was
raging high in China, a few years ago,
it was proposed in the provisional as

the famous medical missionary of that
city be asked to give up his property.

Certain old words are being inter
preted more largely nowadays. Time
was when some persons declared
themselves in favor of evangelistic
missions, but opposed to medical mis-
sionS and educational missions. Now
we see that, in a very real although
broad sense, medical and educational
missions are evangelistic. They inter
pref the religion of Jesus to commune
ties and nations Their ministry mir
rors the mind of the Master. They are
actually telling the story, in compre-
hensible terms. to multitudes who new
er hear the gospel from the lips of a
missionary.
