The lessons of this unit begin with Abraham and trace the beginnings of the Hebrew nation to the conquest of Cannan under the leadership of Joshua. After this quarter, these historical studies will he resumed iu the third quarter of 1952, T1 e aim of this quarter is to discover the signifi- cance al Clod's selection of the na- tion Israel and to know God as revealed in the early years of that nation. This study is particularly interesting today because of events concerning the Jews. Into the tiny laud promised to Abraham and his seed forever, the Jews have come at the rate of 21,000 a north during the first months of this year, The laud. about one-tenth the size of England, is being transformed so that the desert is blossomiltg as the rose, Israel -grown flowers are being packed and air -freighted to Europe and the United States.

To the Christians he is tl.e "Father of the Faithful," His right to this title is seen in this lesson. At God's call he left his kindred and,"went out, not know- ing whither he went." But he be- lieved God. Through his seed came Jesus the Messiah, the son of Mary wlnt conceived of the holy GLost. 1u Hint all families of the earth are blessed, Abraham was God's pio- neer.
