The Voice That Calls.
There is nothing peculiar about
hearing divine voices, as was Abra-
hams experience Speak to the first
Quaker friend you meet and he will
tell you that that truth of the privi-
lee of the individual to hold COM
munion with the highest is written
largest upon his creed. Ask the
missionary acquaintance, or talk
with the minister you trust, and the
reality of a divine "call'' will be
made clear to you. This voice that
speaks from God to the human spirit
is more real than the sky-scrapers
that tower above us or the concrete
pavements under our feet.
In passing, it is to be noticed that
when one confronts man who be-
lieves that God has spoken to him,
whether that man be frenzied AT
CHAN Moslem or college bred Amer
lean reformer, it is best to get out
of his way. Nothing can stop him.
It was the conviction of the divine
call in the hearts of the first settlers
that gave the world America.
To lose the hearing ear, which is
attuned to the voice of the divine
spirit, is to suffer the greatest ca
lamity possible in life. The SUI
preme tragedy of all human exist
ence is once to have known COM
munion with God, and then to have
lost it. The way to be sure of con-
tinued messages from God is to obey
those which have been received.
Abraham pulled up his tent pegs and
moved on when he heard the voice.
If he had not, he would have re-
NAMED as unknown and as incense,
quential as any one of the under
buffers or camel drivers of King
Hammarabi.

THE MOST FAMOUS EMIeRANT.
The International Sunday School Les
son for February IS is, "The Call OF
Abraham" Gen. 1919.
BY William T. Ellis.

That yonder Russian. in boots, as.
trachan cap and tight-waisted, long
skirted velveteen coat, waiting In
the railway station, is a real person
and an emigrant from his homeland
we can easily understand, but that
Sheik Abraham, for off in the dis
lance Of the centuries, wearing a
long abeyah, or cloak, and Arab
head-roll, sitting in his black tent
at noon, is just as real an emigrant
and quite as truly an historical per-
sonage as the Russian is not SC easy
to- grasp. If this great and romantic
bit Of history is to mean anything to
the reader, he must get clear,
strong hold Of the truth that the
characters involved are as real indi-
yiduals as President Taft and King
George; and that the places are as
definite as Chicago or Toronto or
London or Picking.
The migration of this man Abra-
ham from Mesopotamia to Canaan
has had greater influence upon the
human race than any other outgoing
of a people from its native home;
greater than the movement OF the
Mongol human tides; or of the Danes
to Britain, or Of the Moors to Spain,
or of the Turks to Europe, or Of
Europeans to America. On this
point, which is we'll worthy of a
columns treatment by itself, it must
suffice to say that the three great
monotheistic religions trace their
course back to that emigrant whom
they in common call Father Abra-
ham" Five hundred million Christ
ians, two hundred million Moslems
and ten million Jews, or nearly half
the total population of the globe, re.
gard Abraham as the called prophet
Of the Most High.
The Brick and the Exile.
The present Turkish war, which
may yet open the doors of Palestine
once more to the Jews Of EARTH
links us with Abraham, for all the
scenes of this migration story are
: laid within what is now the Turkish
empire; and Mesopotamia, the old
home of Abraham, may soon come
under another dominion, which will
restore its ancient fertility and pros
perity and inevitably open up the Sc
crets of that desert mound which
was once Ur of the Chaldees.
An ancient brick is one link with
Abraham which I personally have.
While travelling in Babylonia two
years ago, about the desert above Vr

Certainly the caravan stopped al
Babylon, that great and dominant
city, and father and son went out to
the great ziggurat or tower OF
Babel, and unused together upon that
story. If, as is likely, they followed
the right bank of the Tigris, they
tarried at Asshur, the ancient CAPT
tai of Assyria where German archae'

they settled. Were the cave dwell.
ings along the way, which the rare
traveller today may see, occupied In
Abraham's time? Did he know the
secret of the great fortress Of Hassan
Kief, about which I have inquired IN
vain of archaeologist after archaeol-
ogist? Did he find the road as rocky
and troublesome as I found them?
Was it the we'll, now known as Re-
becca's we'll, which attracted the
party to Haran?
A Traveller in Damascus?
There was to be no abiding in Ha-
ran. Here Terah died, and here
Abraham heard the voice that sum-
moned him still farther to the west.
On the fullness of detail which the
lesson text gives, he was hidden 10
20 forth and the promise was made
that he should becomea great ma
ton and that he should be bless
ing to mankind Taking his nephew
Lot, and all their herds and fam1lles
and retainers, Abraham set out
across the desert. Whether he went
directly west to HONS, or followed
the trade route across to Damascus,
we cannot know-probably the lat
ter. Damascus, then as now, was
great city, and we can imagine
Abraham going through its bazaars
making purchases, even as do the
visitors from the desert today. From
that city he probably followed the
route of the present road, down
through the wonderful valley and
wilderness east of the Lake Of Cali
lee. Thence he turned west toward
the dreary mountains of Shechem.
We must not think of Abraham as
pioneering like the men who opened
up the American west. 1t was rot
virgin land that he entered. Canaan
had long before this been conquered
by the rival kingdoms of Egypt and
Assyria. The Babylonian language,
as we know indisputably from the
Tell el-Marna tablets, was in vogue
throughout Canaan, and there were
roads and well known routes which
the famous emigrant followed.
Men Who Go Out
A nation with the virtues and op-
portunities of the pioneer will not
decay while they last. It is the con-
ventionalized, stay-at-home people,
who become effete. The wondrous
physical vigor Of the Jews and their
persistence through the milleniums,
which is a miracle of history, is IN
part due to their migratory, pioneer.
ing qualities. They inherit their
ancestors daring.
Abraham was great goer-out; he
dared break home ties. He gave up
his prospects in Ur Of the Chaldees,
and then again in the city Of Haran.

Is Abraham a mythical figure in
the dim mists of remotest antiquity

and unlettered skeptic? Here by

Does it seem fantastic to suggest
that one day, and that within the

secrets of Ur of the Chaldees; and
that when the clay tablets are

A Historic Journey. ~
AS Russian peasants migrate to
Siberia by entire families and vii
lage at once as every traveller on
the Siberian railway has seen, so this
exodus of Terah and his family from
Ur of the Chaldees, and later the 60
ing out of Abraham from Haran, was
patriarchal in it's character. The
whole family, with servants and
flocks and property, went at once,
Let us pause to recall Terah to menu
DRY, even while we exalt his son
Abraham. There is a great deal Of
talk about "self-made men" which is
sheer nonsense. The stuff that was
in Abraham he got from his father.
Josephus says that Terah left Ur. Of
the Chaldees because of the heather
practices around him. The courage
and other pioneer virtues needed for
this adventure were within Terah's
breast.
1t was slow journey the family
made from Ur of the Chaldees, a re-
gion then as now famous for the
breeding of camels. The caravan
was long, and the animals and re-
tainers were many. Then, as now,
three miles an hour was the average
progress of the camel caravan, and
we may be sure that as they came up
through the cities Of the plain they
stopped from time to time. Probably
they sojourned at Niffur on the way,
