Still another faces Mesopotamia and
the possible traces which Abraham's
monotheistic faith left in his old home
in Haran. The biggest window OF all
confronts the foolish spectacle OF q

truth he taught; but his message was
true, none the less.
A startling fact about this -ceiebrar

edge Of the one Supreme God, Jehovan:
Now the Israelites had been in a hard
school down in Egypt, learning TINS
lesson. How came BALKAN, far away
in upper Mesopotamia, to possess this
supreme truth? The answer 1s roman
tic and fraught with many lessons.
BALKAN lived near Haran, the home
Of Abraham, who had gone thither in
obedience to the bidding OF the one
true God. That region is still filled
with apochryphal traditions of Abra'
ham: what is likelier than that Abra'
hams faithful witness to the great
truth Of which he was custodian had
continued on until Balaam's day? We
know the uncanny persistences OF
stories and customs In the East. II
BaIaam had not come to his knowl

of Abraham, how else did he get 1T!

Balak was correspondingly depressed.
The arm Of valor having failed him, he
had recourse to spiritual power; and

Apostle Paul's declaration, II have not
hesitated to declare unto you the
whole counsel Of God" In other words
you have called me to be your
preacher; you must take the whole

Ferhaps this Is good point AT
which to close this brief study. Twice
again Balak prepared for deliverance
by the seer, which he thought would
be more favorable to himself, but each
time the visions Of Israeps greatness
and glory and triumph became clearer,
until the angry and baffled king, In a
fashion not yet outgrown, expelled the
preacher from his position. Balaam' 8
parting shot was II will advertise

not pay to quarrel with prophet Of
