ferent virtue of godly living.
 The pen pictures of Abraham furnish most interesting and profitable study for us today. Many chapters are nec- essary to set forth the life of faith exemplified in the one who earned the divine designation, "The Father of the Faithful We shall endeavor to em- phasize several phases of the life of faith in succeeding sermons. We begin with ''The Call to a Life of Faith"
 There are only two positions for the soul in it's relationship to God-faith or sight we walk by faith not by sight is an unacceptable differentiation "by faith" or "by sight" life.
 The sight position is the sense posi- tion. It is the pursuit of the material satisfied with things that perish; a life guided by natural reason. Faith is the opposite. It is "the evidence of things not seen, the substance of things hoped fora life which can only find it's pleasure in God, taught by His Word, and guided by Ills Spirit.
 It was to a life of faith that Abra- ham, a Chaldean prince, was called. The glory of God appeared to him, living in the blaze of material splendor. He obeyed and went out into an unknown land, simply trusting in the God who had promised. Many times since Nl ro Io appeared and the call sounded. To Moses, keeping sheep in Midian; to Elisha, blowing in the field; to lsaiah, ministering In the temple; to Amos, gathering fruit at Tekoa; to Peter, washing fishing nets; to Matthew, col lecting taxes; to Saul of Tarsus, bent on persecution. To Cromwell, from his farm; to Luther, from his monas- tery cell; to Carey, from the cobbler's bench; to Moody, from the shoe store. And, to every man and woman who mas heard the Gospel, the vision of God and the voice of God have come, call ing away from sight to faith. This call involves three things:
 Separation.
 We have the very words of the call in Genesis 12:1-3. Get thee out of thy country, and from the kindred, and from thy fathers house unto a land that I will show thee. He was to sever connections with every phase of the old life its habits, its associa' lions it's environments. This was to be the magic word opening the dooi of faiths treasure house. God could not perfect His plan or perform Ills promises until Abraham was loose from every vestige of the sense llte' This is the key to the Christian llle' It alone opens the treasure house. The measure of our separation determines the achievements of our faith.
 Sacrifice.

Uncle Jake Billings, who is nearly blind, but declares that he sells every thing from a toothpick to a threshing machine, is whispering it to some of his best customers and closest friends that he has not had a single call for a corset since the low-cut waist and the high-cut skirt craze struck Tater- hill nearly six months ago. He says that he is going to close out his cor sets at cost and lay in large stock of fancy hose and ornamental garters.
 CORSET: A once popular article worn by women to reduce the size of their waist and to protect their breast, but of more recent years almost en- tirely discarded because of the popu- larlty of the wide belt. Bill Sans Dictionary, page 9S6

His kindred went with him and kept him in Haran the half way place. until Terah, his father, lied. still Lot clung to him and caused him sorrow and loss until he moved out One by one the things of the old life must go if faith is to be triumphant It cost his all.
 But this Is the very thing that makes faith precious. Values are al- wnys determined by cost. The things we get for nothing are worth little more Diamonds are more precious than dirt, therefore cost more. Man Ia greater than q sheep-hence he could only be redeemed at infinite cost. Sal vation Is Gods free gift but the &C., ceptance of 1t crucifies us unto the world and the world unto us. Sacri. fce Is the touchstone of a living faith Every real advance in the life of faith involves an altar on which some dear fragment of the selflife must die. or some bit of world possession must be offered up Oh. how few are wiHng to pay the price.
 Submission.
 Obedience Is not only an act, 1t is attitude. Abraham went out. He ma triculated in the school of faith. Many lessons must be learned. Step by step he must walk, advancing from one plane of experience to another. Test ed reproved, encouraged, blessed un- i'll he becomes the Friend of God, taken into the divine confidence. It is worth the cost, the separation and sac rifice to have God ask, Shall l hide from Abraham, my friend, this thing that will do?" "Ye are my friends if ve do whatsoever l command you.' Are you longing for real true friend shin? There is One W'ffo stands at the door of your heart and knocks for ad- mission. Will you let Him in? Draw back the bolt; fling open wide the door. and let Elm come in. Then will the life of faith begin and become as Il shining light that shtneth brighter and brighter unto the perfect day.
