Well-intenEOned, we see illustrated
the difference between seeking chiefly
the Divine approval and seeking chief
ly welfare and ease.
Many Christian people today make
similar mistakes TO that which Lot
made. They allow conflicting earthly
interests to separate them from the
blessings of Gods greater favor. They
thus involve themselves and their
families in the snare of the wicked,
while at heart preferring righteous
ness.
The Masters advice should be re-
membered "Seek ye first the King
dom Of God and His Righteousness. -
DO that WHICH Is in harmony with
that aspiration and leave % God the
oversight and care OF earthly inter-
osts. that He may give you the les
sons and experiences most helpful
for you. Those who follow His ad-
vice find peace and Joy which the
world can neither give nor take away
the peace of God. which paeseth
all understanding.
Gods Blessing Makes Rich.
Whoever has the Lords blessing
Is rich indeed. regardless OF the
amount OF this worlds goods which
he possesses. OF what value Is all
the wealth OF a Croesus II It bring
not peace, Joy and happiness? Wher-
ever we 90 we find all-rich and poor
seeking pleasure. seeking the springs
OF Joy: but how few OF these seekers
ever find itl Alasl It seems impos-
sible for the world to understand the
great fact thar the blessing OF the
Lord constitutes the true fund OF
riches and pleasure forevermore-
more than the life that now Is, and
the coming onel
Those whom the Lord makes rich
with His promises and His favor, HE
guidance and His blessing, have the
Joy which others are vainly seeking
These true riches during this Gospel
Age are obtainable by all who have
the hearing ear and who learn oi
Gods favor IN Christ In Christ are
hidden all the treasures Of Divine
Wisdom. Love and Power
The only ones who obtain share
Of these blessings at the present
time are such as become followers
Of Jesus through faith and consecra
ton of their lives to His service
Nevertheless. in Him are also restl
tuition blessings for the world o
mankind. which wills be dispensed
during the thousand years OF. Hh
reign. which will begin az His Sec
ond Coming. St Peter tells us o
this. and points us to the fact tina
It has been "foretold by all the Hol
Prophets since the world began

several times repeated in slight
, different form. One OF these preser
, tations is a part OF todays study
but as this will be the topic Of ol
2 study next week. we will here merl
? ly allude to It and ask the read'
to note that II was not a Heavenl
promise. but an earthly one-"a
the land which thou seest"; and thu
! Il was to an earthly people-"I wi
! make thy seed as the dust Of n

promises from those which apper

Herewith. h.'-PrOyerbs 10: Or V.
The Bible declares that there are
not many rich, not many wise. not
many learned, who enjoy Gods spe-
cial favor, but chiefly the poor Of this
world, who are 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 What It does teach
| is that God is. no respector of per-
sons. Whether one be rich or poor,
learned or ignorant. Gods estimation
of him is from the standpoint of the
heart There are both good and bad
rich men, just as there are both good
and bad poor men.
Abraham. though the youngest son
of the family, at the death of his
/ father Terah doubtless inherited all
that remained in his possessions, in
Guiding the share of Sarah, his wife,
who was his half-slster The chron-
ology OF the narrative agrees with
this but some have erred In the study
of it. Abraham is mentioned first
amongst his brethren because of his
great prominence. and not because he
was the elder.
Added to Abraham's rich inheri-
tance was the blessing OF the Lord
upon him. After he had accepted the
Divine call and left his homeland to
become a wandering shepherd and
herdsman in Canaan, his hocks and
herds increased greatly He was. un-
der Gods blessing, very rich. Others
also of Gods servants in the past we're
greatly blessed with riches-for in
stance Job. We are not however, TO
apply our golden text in this way to
the present time. The blessing of the
Lord very rarely makes wealthy His
sanity people during this Gospel Age
Jesus and the Apostles and the spe-
cially sanity all down through the
age and today are poor in this
worlds goods.
II may be asked, Why this change
in Gods dealings? The reply OF the
Scriptures is. that in the past. up Ia
the time of Christ. Gods blessings
were TO men as men; but since the
time of Christ, Gods saints are New
Creatures in Christ" The terms of
discipleship are that they exchange all
earthly favors, riches and blessings
and sacrifice their claims to these in
order that they may become heirs OF
God and ioint-heirs with Jesus Christ
their Lord. to the Heavenly inheri.
tance-and share in the MessianiC
Kingdom and its glory, honor and i'm
mortality.
God dealt with Abraham as a frient
and gave him earthly blessings anC
promised him earthly blessing in thu
future life. Jesus and His follower

The beauty and harmony of the Bible

and not their friends and relatives,

association with them.
These spiritual children Of Abraham,
Christ and His consecrated followers,
are particularly specified as the heirs
of the Arabahamic promise by St
Paul Galatians 3: 29) They all
