Isaac the . Well -Digger
18. "And Isaac digged• again
the w.elis of water, .. which they
had digged. in the days of'Abra-
ham . his father;.. for the Philist-
ines had -stopped them. after -the
deatk of Abraham: and he ,called
their names after the names by • .
which his father had called' them.
19. And. Isaac's, servants digged

well of springing water. 20. [And
the herdsmen of Gerar strove

'The water isours':, and he called
the name of it Siteah. 22: And
he removed from thence, arid
digged another well; and for that

his experience with the men of
Gerar; when compelled to leave
this well, ,he called the next one
dug by the name Sitnah, meaning
enmity, for the oppos tion of the
Philistines was now.becoming ac-
tually pesecution. He now re-
moved much farther away, to Re-
hoboth, forty miles from Gerar,
where he was Ieft ,undisturbed by
those who had so sorelybeen har-
assing him. Almost all- who have
preached from this particular'por-
tion of our lesson have einpha-
aized the truth that,all of us have
wells in,- our lives, at one time or
another, which, onceTflowing with
abundant and • refreshing water,
have been choked by various ex-
periences, by doubt, and the ne-
glects of life. . -

24. "And Jehovah appeared un-
to him the same night, and said,
I am the God of Abraham thy
father: fear not, for I am' with
thee and will bless the_e and multi-

ed an altar there and called upon

his tent there; and there Isaac's
servants . digged a welI." Beer-
sheba was a .sacred place in the
life of Isaac's family,' and . here
it would seem, in. God's plan for
his life, he truly belonged. Here
God appeared to him with a•prom-
ise of particular preciousness..•
Here for the 'first, time, we find
the now familiar title, "the God
of Abraham".
Isaac at once- responded to this
-Divine revelation 'He-builded--ath--

in the patriarch's restored life.
First comes the altar with its
thought of consecration, then
prayer with its consciousness of
need, then the tent with its wit-

well with its testimony to daily
life and needs. The, altar and the

Why Bother?
A 32 -mile round trip for sugar?
And how much home canning did
they do last year?
The problems were too muh ,for
Myra Riherd, 71, and her 82 -year-
old brother.
"We have no ear, no hoss and
buggy. My brother says: 'Dam -
mit, , I quit whiskey, I quit smok-
ing, and I can quit sugar'! -
"P.S.--I couldn't answer all the
silly questions about how 'much
I canned last year. All I know is
that it's all 'et up'. So probably
it's just as well not to register."

Luftwaffe Dreads
Rocket Apparatus
One of the '"surprise weapons"
used by the Maritime Regiments
at sea against attacking enemy
aircraft is the rocket apparatus
carried by defensively armed Mer-
chant ships. These rockets are •
one of the weapons most dreaded
by the Luftwaffe. They carry
up :into the air long wires sup-
ported by parachutes, so that
they remain in position for an ap-
preciable'time, and the method of.
using them. is to tine and place
their discharge 'so' that' the attack -,a
ing bomber, must either swerve
away from his bombing position
or become en�ngle1 with the
wires and be destroyed by them.
