Continuing ON to Sodom, the
two visitors spent the night with
Lot, Abraham's nephew. The in
habitants of Sodom tried to seize
and mistreat them and, as a re-
suit, were stricken with sudden
blindness. The wickedness of the
city having thus been proved, Lot
was warned to gather his family
together and flee to escape the
impending destruction. Only Lot,
his wife and their two young
daughters were permitted to es-
cape. Lots wife, disobeying the
instructions of the angels not to
look tick on the scene Of de-
struction, persisted.
The historical fact of the de-
struction of these two cities has
been proven in recent excava-
tons. Plainly, they were destroy
ed by some great conflagrat:on,
for everywhere ashes were found.
Articles made of pottery, weapons
and jewelry worn by women in
the time Of Abraham have been
found on the sites of these ancient
cities.
Why did Abraham intercede for
Sodom and Gomorrah? He knew
their wicl:edness and knew they
deserved the punishment they re-
ceived. lie prayed for these peo-
pie because he loved his fellow
men and could not bear to think
of their suffering, even though he
knew it was because of their own
wrong-doing. With many of us,
praye- is a very perfunctory thing
with Abraham it was not-he
meant e''ery word he uttered and
he was willing to do all he could
to have his prayer answered.

Twenty-six years have passed and

Friends may think the wounds

Little do they know Of the sor-

Which lies in my heart con-

God loved them too, 50 he thought
best,
To take them home to be at

And now they calmly sleep at
last,
All pain, all grief, all suffer-

Softly the stars are shining,
Down on their silent graves;
There like my mother and sister,

The ones / loved. but could
not save.

eLe..on Text. Genesis. Chap. Is,

Sitting in the door of his tent.
under the oaks of Mamre, near
the city Of Hebron, Abraham saw
three strangers approaching. In
true Oriental custom. he ran out
to meet them, bowling before them
and beseeching them not to pass
on until they had refreshed them
selves by resting and partaking
Of food. When they consented,
Abraham received them hospita
ably, had water brought for their
feet and had sumptuous feast
prepared for them.
In appreciation of this hospi.
tally, Abraham is informed by
his guests that Sarah, his wife
should bear him a son. 0verhear.
ing the remark while in the tent,
Sarah. knowing that both she and
Abraham were beyond the age
when they could expect children,
laughed within herself. Here the
divine character of the visitors
is first revealed, when one of the
men asked Abraham, "Wherefora
did Sarah laugh?" 1t is most
probably that Abraham himself
did not know that she had laugh
ed. However, the promise was
kept and Sarah did conceive in her
old age.
When his guests were ready to
depart. Abraham escorted them
perhaps to the village of Benz
Navin, three miles east of He
bron, where, through gaps in the
hills the Dead Sea could be seen,
and, in the distance before them
lay the cities Of Sodom and Go
within a half-mile Of each
other.
Until this time, Abrahama had
not learned of the purpose of the
visit of his divine guests. In
verses 1919, God is spoken of as
talking to himself about the Wis
dom of taking Abraham into his
and informing him
that these two cities, Sodom and
Gomor~ah, were to be destroyed.
Deciding that it was necessary for
who was to be the
father of a great and mighty ma
ton through which all the ma
tons of the earth were to be
blessed, to understand Gods deal
ings with his people, God told
Abraham that( because of their /
wicke[ness, Sodom and Gomor-
rah were to be destroyed.
While they were talking, two
of the men departed and went
on toward Sodom. Jehovah re-
NAMED to talk further with Abra-
ham, who was distressed at learn
ing the fate which was to befall
the inhabitants of the doomed
cities. Knowing the mercy Of
God and having full confidence
in his reasonableness and justice
Abraham begins to plead that the
righteous be not destroyed With
the wicked. He begs God to save
Sodom if fifty righteous ones ere
found in the city. God agrees.
Enco ragged by this promise OF
God, Abraham boldly makes one
request after another, that the
city be spared for the sake of
forty-five righteous men, then for
the sake of forty, thirty, of TWEEN.
ty, of ten. Jehovah promises that
he will not destroy the city for the
tens sake, and then departs from
Abraham. The presumption is that
there were not even ten righteous
men in the city of Sodom, for, it
there had been. the city would
have been spared.
Through these pleas of Abra-
ham two things are clearly shown.
First, the nature of God-He is
God of mercy as well as of jus.
