THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON IV—April 24 Abram's Generosity to Lot— Genesis 13: 5-15 Golden Text.—In honor preferr- ing one another.—Romans' 12:10. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING. Time. -Abram in . Egypt (Beech- er), B.C. 1927. Lot's separation from Abram, RIO. 1924. Place.—Beth-el, Sodom, and He- bron. THE STRIFE And Lot . also, who went with Abram: Lot was, it will be remem- bered, the nephew of Abram, being the son of Abram's dead brother Haran, and the young man had fol- lowed Abram in all his journeys from Ur of the Chaldees. Had flocks, and herds, and tents. The uncle's prosperity overflowed upon the nephew. For their substance was 'great, so that they could not dwell together. A country becomes over -crowded and reaches out into the territory of its neighbors. That territory it- self tself may have all it can support in, comfort, and at once innumerable quarrels arise. And there was a strife, between the herdsmen of Abram's cattle and the. herdsmen of Lot's cattle. Welts are .still a common subject of con- tention among Arab tribes. And the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land. The Canaanites, in the narrower sense, were the in- habitants of the coastline and val- leys; in the broader sense they were the original inhabitants of Palestine, especially those descend- ed from Ham. THE OFFER OF PEACE. And Abram said unto Lot. The leader of the expedition, and the older, spokefirst in the matter, as was right. Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee. Quarrels between kinsmen ' are es- pecially deplorable and are likely to be more long continued and bitter than other quarrels. And between my herdsmen an � herds d thy herdsmen. Abram knew that he and Lot would in time, inevitably, however close theywere together, take up the quarrel of their servants, who would look to them for support in their contentions. For we are brethren. Members of the same family, neigh- bors, members of the same church —these certainly are brethren, Separate thyself, I pray thee, from me. So also is a good thing for husband wife to have some per- sonal interests and occasionally to take little trips by themselves. If thou will take the l"eft hand, then I will go to the right;' or if thou take the right hand, then I will go to the left. Abram had learned that God was his provider, and his fut- ure was sure when all was left to him. ' And Lot 'lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the Plain of the Jordan. The. Jordan cities lay on the great route of Eastern travel, and prom ised to the keen eye of Lot a rich market, for the produce of their flocks and herds, ,as well as the lux- uries and refinements of wealth," That it . was well watered every- where. So that he would hereafter meetnone of the troubles'' which had caused the quarrels between tate two sets of herdsmen, Before' Jeho- vah destroyed Sodom and Gomor- rah, That terrible volcanic upheav- al spread a thick .layer of earth ashes over the favored spot and transformed' it into a desolation. Like the garden of Jehovah. , Like the Eden, traditions of which were numerous and vivid in :Babylonia from which Lot and Abram had come. Like the land of 'EEgypt, That. rich land where the two had so re- cently been, a land overpowered an- nually with the most fertile and by the overflowing Nile. As thou .go - est unto Zoar, Zoar was a city near the southeast corner of the Dead Sea. • So Lot chose: him all the Plain rrf Jordan; and Lot journeyed east. Taking no warning by the dangers, bodily,' and spiritual, which had be- set them in EWgypt,. Lot fearing not the .proximity of the wealthy and luxurious - inhabitants of Sodolti and Gomorrah."'

The central highlands of Palestine. And Lot dwelt in the cities of the Plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom. This narra- tive affords a plain instance of the. great truth that the sure way to lose the world as well as our own souls, is to make it our first ob- ject." Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against Jehovah exceedingly. The result of his choice was the degradation of his family, the ruin of his happiness, so. that he was left at last ,a bereaved old man. THE REWARD OF GENEROS- ITY. after that Lot was separated from him,. 'Abram was saddened by the departure of Lot. Lift up now thine eyes. They were downcast in sor- row and despondency. How often at such times God's word comes to the Christian. And look front the place where thou art, northward and southward, and eastward and west- ward. No one, in order to behold God's abounding mercies, needs to remove from the place where he is. For all the land which thou sees to thee ' will T . give it, and to thy seed 'forever. In this vision, Abram was given a glimpse of the advant- ages that were in the rougher, less fertile portion that was left to him.
