SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON ABRAM: A PIONEER IN FAITH Genesis 11: 31-12: 91 Hebrews 11: 842 Printed Text: Genesis 12: 1-9; Hebrews 11: 8-12 GOLDEN TEXT --"Fear not, Ab- ram, 1 ane thy shield, and thy exceeding great reward.—Gen- esis 15;1. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—The exact dates for these early Old Testament events cannot be determined, with abso- lute accuracy, but the call of Abram may certainly be said to have been between 1900 and 2000 B.C. Place—Ur of the Chaldees was a city in southern Babylonia. Haran was an the river Belik, an affluent of the Euphrates; Bethel was a city in Palestine, northeast of Jerusalem. God's Covenant With Abram 1, "Now Jehovah, said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy count- ry, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto the land that I will show thee." The call of Abram consists of a com- mand and a promise. The com- mand is to leave the place of his old and fond associations for a land which he had not seen, and, therefore, did not know. Abram hasentire faith in the reason- ableness ,of what God proposes. So with reason and faith he is willing to go to the unknown land. larael's Greatness 2(a) "And I will make of thee A great nation" Israel's great- ness is not to be found in num- bers. She has never been one of the large nations of the world. She was great in giving birth to those wonderful prophets, who were the greatest religious teach - era of all ancient history. She was great in that she gave birth to the Messiah. Father of the Faithful 2 (b) "And I will bless thee and make thy name great" The greatness of his name is acknowl- edged by every man. He, above all eharactere in the Old Testa- ment, is honored by Jew, Gentile and Mohammedan. lie is refer- red to more often in the New Testament than any other char- acter of the Old Covenant. He is called the Father of the Faith- ful. God's Blessing 2(c) "And be thou a blessing." All who carne into the right re- iaj;ionship with Abram person- ally were blessed because of that relationship, 3(a). "And I will bless them that bless thee, and him that curseth thee will I curse." The Lord calla those who have been kind to Israel 'Ye blessed of my Father', and those who have been cruel to Israel, he refers to as 'the cursed'. 3(b). "And in thee shall all the families of the earth be bles- sed." The great blessing that has come to the nations of the earth is the Lord Jesus Christ, who was the Son of Abram, the Son of David and the Son of Mary. Abram's Departure 4. "So, Abram went, as Jeho- vah had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him; and Abram was seventy and five years old when he depared out of Baran, G. And Abram took Sarah his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, and all their substances' that they had gathered, anti the souls that they gotten in Reran; and they went forth to go into the land of Can- aan, and into the land of Canaan they came. 6. And Abram passed through the land into the place of Sachem, unto the oak of Moreh, ' And the Canaanite was then in the land." Abram departed. We do not hear of any oomplaints or questions, but only of his act. Dutioa are ours, events are God's, and we have nothing to do with that over which we have no C011 - trot. When God speaks we must epeeti, The callings of God never leave a glen where they find him, for to stay where he is, after God has bidden him to move on, is itself a backward move- ment, though he take no actual step. The further Abram went from home and kindred the nearer he came to God. Nat that home and kindred are hindrances to His nearness, except when we cling to them instead of to Him. Obedi- ence must fee absolute; when Abram left Haran he left nothing behind hint, purposing never to return, a purpose which he main- tained. Jehovah Appeared 7. "And Jehovah appeared unto Abram and .said, Unto thy seed will I give this land; and there builded he an altar unto Jehovah, who appeared unto him." Here for the first time appears the re- markable phrase, 'Jehovah ap- peared'. It indicates that the Lord presents himself to the eon - ;aloneness of pian in any way suitable to his nature. It is not confined to the sight, but may refer to the hearing. (1 Sam. 3:15). The Journey Continued 8. "And he removed from thence unto the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having Bethel on the west and Ai en the east; and there he builded an altar unto Jehovah, and called upon the name of Je- hovah. 9. And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the aouth," From his encampment at Shechem Abram removed by easy stages to the neighborhood of Bethel, then called Luz. The Canaardltes may have regarded with suspicion this stranger from a far country, and made his position in the otSen valley insecure; or the necessity of finding fresh pasturage for his numerous flocks and herds may have obliged him to change his quarters to the mountainous dist- rict between Bethel and Ai, towns about two miles apart. The site of Bethel, now Beitin, has never been lost. The village stands some ten miles north of Jerusa- lem, on the great watershed which divides the country, and from it a steep incline leads down to Jeri-. oho eight miles distant. Sugar Ration Coupons Sugar ration coupons are good any time after their Individual maturity dates, the Wartime Prices and Trade Board said re- cently. The board said that while the first coupon could not bo used before July 1, the second before July 18, the third before July 27, the fourth before August 10 and the fifth before August 24, all the coupons are valid at any time after their maturity dates. However, all the coupons can- not be used at onee, officials pointed out, because the sugar ration regulations provide that no one shall have more than two weeks' supply of sugar on hand at any one time.

Howe said Iasi week in a state- ment announcing the new alloca- tion set-up, "when Manufacturers will be unable to obtain sufficient steel, non-ferrous metals and other mat oriels." Supply Situation Critical Officially designated the Pro- duction Requirements Plan, the new system sets definite quotas for all manufacturers using more than 5,000 worth of metals in a quarter of the calendar year. Ev- ery manufacturer so qualifying must turn in a report giving itis inventory, what he uses the ma- terial for and how much he needs for the next quarter year. Manufacturers of civilian artic- les will be supplied after war in- dustries have been provided with necessary raw materials, process- ed parts, machinery and repair parts. This means, bit'. Howe said, that In many cases "they will get noth- ing." Only civilian industries es- sential to a nation at war would be given "any preference." Supply Not Guaranteed W. E. Ur'en, director-general of the munitions department's prior- ities branch, said primary em- phasis will be on metals for the third quarter of 1942, starting with July. There would be no change in existing Procedure for a few special classes of companies, such as those engaged in transpor- tation, construction, mining, the petroleum industry and public ut- ility services. "Every large user of metal wilt be required to obtain a quarterly authorization for all scarce ma- terial requirements under the Pro- duction Requirements Plan," Mr. Uren said, warning that a rating under the plan did not necesear- Ily guarantee delivery. "Actual shipments of United States mater- ials will be governed by mouth -to - month decisions dr the War Pro- duction Board at Washington." Companies under the new prior- ities plan no longer may use or extend preferenceratings assign- ed ssigned in any other way, except for construction or capital equipment. Collecting Birds' Eggs and Nests Hobby Should Be Discourag- ed, says St. Thomas Times. Journal. The collecting of birds' eggs and nests, a common hobby in years gone by, is fortunately rarely prat - Hoed today. Education of the pub- lic along the proper lines and the enforcing of government legisla- tion have succeeded in making this old time hobby almost as rare as the coon shoots and husking bees of pioneer clays. Rarely does the collector of birds' eggs cor- rectly label his collection with the name of the bird, location of nest, height of nest, kind .of tree it was in, and all those other de- tails which make it of scientific value. Instead, he gathers up a lot of valuable eggs, probably keeps them ,loosely in a few cigar boxes, and when his collecting is finished he still possesses absolute- ly nothing of interest or value. The collecting of eggs and dis- turbing of nests is prohibited by the Migratory Birds Conventions Act and breaking of this law can be strictly punished by law. Any- one engaged in scientific study can secure a permit to collect the eggs of migratory birds if his case is poven to be a worthy one, The useless oollecting of birds' eggs by young people should be discouraged whenever it crops up. One of the best ways of curbing the practice is to encourage the youngster to take photographs of nests and to keep detailed notes of the )test building, egg laying and development of the young, That would be a much more useful and interesting hobby. it` `BR' REPO.

Somo'very human happenings in local as well as national radio bring back to mind the fact that radio personalities and stars — writers, producers and "voices", are human beings like the rest of us. And often it is coincidence ' that impresses this factstrongly on our minds.

On the preceding Friday, her 22=year-old son received his wings at Trenton, taking to the air to fight for freedom.
