Oct. 90. The Greatness of Unselfish
ness. Gen. 19, sill. =
Our lesson continues from last Sun
day, a talk on the life Of Abraham
Since our last consideration of this
great man, many years have elapsed
He has been down in Egypt and re
turned again to Palestine. Lot was
still with him. 1t might be noted that
the record has in number of places
said that Abraham built an altar to
Jehovah and worshipped. He was a
Cody man holding to his religion in
the midst of dense heatilenism. AS is
well known, he and Lot maintained
themselves by raising flocks and herds
and this meant range for the animals,
and watering places. ...--...-.... .....y
Out of this mutual occupation came
about one of the striking incidents in
the lives of Abraham and Lot. Their
hired-,men had trouble over the pas
ture and the water for the cattle. This
came to the ears of Abraham and he
decided that such a root of bitterness
between; himself and his nephew
should not exist for long. AS the old
err man, the head of the clan, he had
the right to say in the event of part
ing of the two men which land or d.
rection each should take.
One Of the great things in the life
of Abraham now comes 10 view He
went to Lot, explained the case and
said in words which make the inter-
view historic, "Let there be no strife
/ pray thee, between. me and thee, for
we are brethren" These were words
from man living many hundreds of
years before the birth Of Christ and
the teachings of the Saviour calling
for brotherly love "in honor preferring
your brother" saying that humble
ness was best and pride, folly. This
was, before Paul wrote telling how
brethren should settle disputes. Here
we find a man of the far off times TAX
ing a stand for the right, generous,
kindly, unselfish in life, which has set
an example for all ages since. Well
can the title Of the lesson be "The
Greatness of Unselfishness" 7
We ofttimes hear it said that mon
ey is the root of all evil, but this is
but another-W way of saying that selfish
ness is such root. Selfishness is the
cause of nearly every sin in the world.
The desire to have power, riches, fame,
seeming ease, no matter what may be-
come of others, is the curse. of all,
ages Just at this time the sane world
is Mortified at the selfishness of the
German people in deciding to sway
the greater part of the trade and po-
litical power of the world, no matter
if this cost blood, suffering, robbing
OF liberties of millions of their fellow
beings Thanks be to God the awful
plan Of selfishness has failed and for
all time lesson has been taught such
men as the kaiser that the principles
of righteous ness cannot be detied with
and those who try it, will
fall under the curse of Jehovah and
sane mankind. a . -
Note the conduct of Abraham. He
gave Lot his choice of the pastures

before them saying that he would take
what was left after Lot had made Sc,
lection. The conduct Of Lot is typical
|of one ruled by selfishness. He did
not bow in respect to his elder, his
superior in age, wisdom, but made
choice of the land on the reason that
the valley of the Jordan looked pleas
ing to the eye, and gave promise of
ease for himself ana his herdsman.
Alas how typical. Millions of men
and women since have made choice
of things on the basis of how pleasing
and easy the way selected seems to
be, not counting the consequence of
such selfisliness. Fine appearance, con-
genial surroundings, wealth, ease, pow
er, are not the deciding things in the
world. They are oft but masks for
unhappiness, moral downfalls; be-
wildering the eye for the time to
things which are pitfalls for one wish
ing right living. Lot chose the plains
well watered, the coy cities dotting
the landscape, and with these the aw.
full. people which inhabited this reg
ion.. 1t was not long before the results
of his selfshness began to bear fruit,
and in time we shall see he escaped
from these cities of the plains just
with his life, bereft of all his property.
Although Lot had been SO selfish to-
ward his uncle. Abraham still loved
him, and further history will tell of
two important occasions when he in
tervened to save him and his family
One Of these comes in our lesson OF

The great outstanding lesson of this
week is to warn as to the sin of mon
ey making selfishness Lot gave US a
fine sample OF what selfishness will
do. Jesus in Matthew 20, 1928, eulo-
gized the honor of serving, saying that
he who would become the greatest
