(Editor of The Sunday School Times)
ABRAHAM AND THE STRANGERS
Sunday, May 16. 1926,—Genesi
18.:1-8, 16-19.
Golden Text:
All the nations of the earth shal
be blessed in him (Gen 18:18).
If thi-s Scripture was chosen by
the International Committee as a
lesson in hospitality there is no ques
ton that it is needed to -day. So
many of us have no time, now to be
hospitable! The pressure and rush
of life are terrific; the old-fashioned
home where hospitality was peren-
nial, has almost passed away; the
younger generation knows little of
the charm of the hospitality that was
commonplace in former days; and
life has lost much because of all this.
Yet there are exceptions, even today,
perhaps more so, in the old countries
than in the new. The present writer
found, during months of travel in the
mission fields of the Far East, that
the homes of missionaries are deserv-
edly noted for their hospitality.
Which suggests that hospitality is
peculiarly a Christian virtue. It
ranks with some of the highest and
most spiritual, for we are told that
we should be 'fervent in spirit; serv-
ing+ the Lord; rejoicing in hope; pat-
ient in tribulation; continuing con-
stant in prayer; distributing to the
necessity of saints; given to hospital-
ity"(Rom. 12:11-13.)
The simple story of this lesson,
read on the surface, is that Abraham
one day saw three strangers nearing
his tent, welcomed them, and asked
them to partake of food, set before
them the best that he had, and God
counted him peculiarly His friend
and blessed him. But to read the
story only in this way, as though it
were simply a narrative of pastoral
hospitality, and as though Abraham
won special favro from God by show-
ing a friendly spirit, would be to
miss its real meaning. Any Oriental
of any religion, would show similar
hospitality to strangers.
The chapter starts with the state-
ment that "the Lord appeared unto
him in the plains of Mamre," and
then goes on to say that Abraham
saw three men standing by the door
Of his tent. The incident was not a
natural, but a supernatural incident.
Is it possible that the writer of the
Epistle to the Hebrews had it in
mind when he said (1:3:2): "Be, not
forgetful to entertain strangers; for
thereby some have entertained angels'
unawares."
It is impossible to have any ade-
quate understanding of the two les-
sons on Abraham in the present ser-
ies, if we confine oerselves to the
two lesson narratives. We must re-
member the great, stupendous, ut-
terly unique facts about Abraham
in the history of mankind. He was
a called -out man, arbitrarily chosen
by God from the entire human race
to be the father of the Chosen Peo-
ple whom God was going to entrust
His "oracles," the Divine revelation
without which the human race would
be helpless and hopeless (Rom. 3:2;
9:4, 5). Some of the deepest spiri-
tual teachings Of the New Testament
are centred in Abraham and God's
dealings with him (such as Rom. 4:
13-24, and Heb. 11:8-19.)
God had, before this ,promised
Abraham a great land—and that land
The Relationship Between Type and
Profit in Mangel Growing
Two chief reasons for failure in
mangel growing are first unsatisfact-
ory germination of seed and second-
ly the apparent inability or the plants
which germinate to produce euilicient-
ly large roots for profit.
With regard ta the first considera-
tion the choice of well prepared land,
early plantingand heavy seeding will
usually result in a satisfactory stand
of young plants. The second cause
of failure mentioned is usually due
to a lack of consideration of the type
of root which would be most suitable
for the soil on -which it is to be
planted.
Three years of careful study of
thousands of mangel types grown at
the Central Experimental Farm has
shown that there is a very definite re-
laEonship between the type of mangel
:old the soil best suited for its maxi -
r mum development. All the mangel
varieties offered for sale ran into one
pf the six general types namely: long
half -long, intermediate, ovoid, tank-
ard, and globe. These types very to
has been the strategic centre of the
$ world's history and ware, and will
continue to be so to the end. He
promised to Abraham and Sarah a
1 snn, through whom all the families of
the earth should be blessed. Yet Ab-
raham was now a hundred years old
End Sarah was ninety, and the son j
- had not been born. Then it was that '
e
the Lord visited Abraham again in
the incident of thlesson.
The reason for the visit comes out
in verses in this chapter not includ-
ed in the lesson selection. For the
Lord now renewed to A.brahant the
promise of a son by Sarah. And
the inspired record shows that this
was to be a miracle,—not a virgin
birth, but from the human and nat-
ural standpoint just as impossible
and miraculous as the virgin birth al-
` most two thousand years later, of
the greater Son of Abraham Jesus
Christ.
Sarah was faithless in this and
would not believe the promise; but
her faithlessness did not nullify the I
faith of God. "If we are faithless. '
He abideth faithful; for He cannot
deny Himself." (2 Tim. 2,13).
Again, another part of this Divine
visitation of Abraham, not included
in the lesson, but in this chapter,
was God's advance disclosure to Ab-
raham of His necessary destruction
of Sodom and Gomorrah, because of
the terrible sin of the people.
The chapter has been entitled,
; "Abraham, the Friend of God," for
in it the Lord says, "Shall I hide
from Abraham that thing which I
do?" We are reminded of the word
of the Lord Jesus to His disciples,
"Henceforth I call you not servants,
for the servant knoweth not what
his lord doeth; but I have called you
friends; for all things that I have
heard of my Father I have made
known mita you." (John 15:'5).
Abraham's hospitality towards God
was only a faint reflection of God's
hospitality toward Abraham. "We
love Him, because He first loved us."
(John 4:19).

It should be obvious, therefore,
that for shallow soils the long type

HYGIENIC SOIL

Hygiene in poultry raising not
only includes consideration of the
various needs of the chick, such as
food elements, light, heat, etc., but
must at the same time consider the
elimination of those things of an un-
desirable nature which would be like-
ly to adversely influence the subject's
well being. The latter are almost as
varied as the former.
Probably the most detrimental fac-
tor (other than directly communic-
able diseases of which this article
does not treat), the most poorly un-
derstood and the least combatted in
the rearing of poultry, is that of soil
pollutioa. The evil effects may ex-
tend throughout the life -time of the
stock, resulting .in increased mortal-
ity, lowered production, and a redue-
tion of the normal vitality with great-
er susceptibilty to contagious disease.
This occurs as a result of keeping
poultry continuously in the same
yards and is very conducive to the
development of worm disease.
Intestinal parasitism—the presence
of parasitic worms in the intestines of
fowl—is mainly dependent for pro-
pagation upon polluted soil. Land
upon which young poultry are to be
reared should not have had poultry
upon it for at least one year, nor
should the soil have been fertilized
with fowl manure. It should be
planted to a grain crop of some sort
in the year or years intervening be-
tween periods used for rearing fowl.
Under general farm conditions, when
the adult stock have intestinal worms
and the land surrounding the farm
buildings has consequently become
polluted, it is best to brood the chicks
indoors anclrear them on land en-
tirely separated from the existing.
stock.
A school inspector was testing
a class of boys who were sup-
posed to be rather dull. He ask-
ed a boy to give him a number,
The boy said "Seventy-three."
The inspector wrote on the
blackboard 37, and waited for
the boys to call attention to the
error, but no one spoke. He
asked another boy to give him a
number and he said, "Ninety-
one."
The inspector then wrote 19
on the blackboard—and still
there was no comment. With
great patience he asked a third
boy for a number.
The boy said: "Thirty-three.
Now, play about with that if
you can!"

Causes of Dry Vacuum Tank
I If a vacuum tank runs dry it is
s ' due to one or more of the following
-1 causes: Clogging of the strainer at
e i• the top of the tank, where the gaso-
I line enters; air leaks into the suction
e tpipe from manifold to vacuum tank
or into the gasoline pipe from main
to vacuum tank; dirt under the flap-
per valve or clogging of the vent
a tube; obstruction of the vent hole in
ithe main tank.
, Carbon Ruins Pins
• I Carbon inflicts wear on piston pins
1 in addition to doing other serious
damage. The reason for this is clear,
When a piston top is so caked with
carbon that it becomes red hot, the
temperature of the piston is raised
abnormally. The piston ring, being
cradled in the piston itself, also be-
comes excessively hot, What oil
splashes on it is thinned and quickly
burned off. The effect is the same as
if the piston were underoiled,
Defective Rim Ruins Tire
One of the most important and
probably the most neglected part of
the wheel equipment is the rim. Rims
usually corrode and rust, and in this
condition are a menace to the tire
equipment Bent or warped rims
are equally harmful. Corroded rims
should be buffed thoroughly to re-
move every trace of rust and then
they should be painted with alumin-
um paint. Bent rims should be
straightened and if they are badly
bent should be replaced with new
rims. Proper rim care adds many
miles to the life of the tires, when
the tires are inflated properly. Rus-
ty rims gouge and cut the bead fab-
ric thereby lessening the life of the
bead. Rim cuts on clincher tires re-
sult from bad rims. Premature bead
failure is the price paid by straight
side tires if the rims are not in good
condition. Warped rims naturally
throw the tire off its proper driving
position with every wheel revolution
to the detriment of the tire.
Use Cotton for Funnel
Where it is necessary to prime the
engine and there is no funnel or
other convenient means at hand for
introducing the high test gasoline in-
to the cYlinders through the petcocks
a little absorbent cotton can be used
to good advantage. Dip this into
the gasoline and squeeze out all but
a few drops, then put the remainder
into the petcock by pressing, the cot-
ton dry.
Wet Spots Revealed
If a car is not wiped dry with a
chamois when coming in out of the
Wet, the following morning will I.e.
veal what parts of the car suffer
most when water is allowed to re-
main and dry overnight. It will be
found that the greatest damage oc-
curs where drops of water remain
stationary until they are dry, as on
the hood, winclsills, cowl and deck.
Often the doors and fenders will dry
off with only a slight dullness to tell
of the drenching of the night before.
This inspection may be the opportun-
ity to learn what May be neglected
in case there is not time to g:,.)tit

Sudden loss of power is often trac-
ed to a disconnected spark advance

Most carbon deposits in an engine
come from the gasoline and dust and

and not from oil as is the popular
opinion.
