The privilege of being King of

Text of the Lesson, Gen. sail,
1-14. Golden Text, Neb. xi, 17.
1. "And it came to pass after
buried
these
things that God did tempt Abraham."
In our last lesson we looked just a
little at chapter xix concerning the
destruction of Sodom -and rescue of
Lot. In chapter xx Abraham went
to sojourn at Gerar arid fell into the
same sin which troubled him in
Egypt and was rebuked by Abimelech.
His answer in verse 11 was testi-
mony against himself, for he should
not willingly have gone where the
fear of God was not. In chapter and
we have the birth of Isaac and the
casting out of Ishmael and find Ab-
raham dwelling at Beersheba and
worshipping the Lord under a new
name, the everlasting God. Note in
verse 8 Sarah's testimony, "God
hath made me to laugh," and -in
verses 17 and 18 God's promise to
Hagar, with His "Fear not," which
is, I think, the second in the book.
"God did tempt Abraham" signifies
that God tried him (Hob. xi, 17!.
for "the Lord trieth the righteous"
(Ps. xi, 5), but He will not try any
one above that he is able (I Cor. x,
13), and patience under trial will
bring the crown of life (Jas. 1. 12;
Rev. ii, 10).

Vegetarian Diet.
To a very large extent the fighting
qualities of a nation are goverped
by the nature of the food which is
consumed every day, or made the
staple diet of the great bulk of the
population.
At present the ruling nations of
the world are mc - (-eaters, and his-
tory records that they always have
been.
Not only are the meat-eaters the
best, fighters, but they are the lead-
ers in every branch of human achieve-
meat, and this in 'Reel/ explains

not only in standing up to shot and

also in clever tactics—the winning
factor in modern warfare.
The principal food of the brave
Boer soldier; known as "biltong," is
a sort of dried beef, affording a great

—
Celestials Antempa e Us in Some
of Our Modern Inventions.
From what has been learned about
China in recent years the conclusion
lies uppermost that while Chinese
engineering has proceeded quite sue-
cessfully along statiogery lines, `it
has rested Mr centuries without pre-'
gross in all that' involves motion.
Thus, while their fixed structures are
notable anal- ' frequently beautiful.
their machines for doing work and
moving people and goods are rudely
primitive. The curious Chinese
wheelbarrow is still a most import-
ant factor in-:land transportation,
but modern "cage construction" for
butidings, has been practiced by the
Chinese for centuries, and is found
all over China. This is one of the
many interesting observations made
by Mr. William Barclay Parsons
during a railroad survey in 1898,
and -recorded in his book entitled ,,An American Engineer in Chine."

some of our modern inventions, is
