INTERNATIONAL LESSON II -MARCH
1107.
/(Maca Lover of Peace.. -Gen, cavi. 12-25,
Commentary: I.Isaac's prosperity vs,
12-14). 12. Isaac --Isaac vasa man of
faith, but in many respects a great eon-
trast to his father. lie was patient,. but
not enterprising and powerful. He was
'devout and submissive, but not active in
organizing in God's service. His life was
uneventful, almost monotonous. He was
not physically robust, and seems to !lave
come into a condition of bodily prostra-
r tion; for he must hay° spent forty or
fifty years in blindness and incapacity
for all active work.-Peloubet. In the
same year -While there was a famine in
the land, when others scarcely reaped at
:all, the reaped thus plentifully. -Henry.
See Is. 1xv. 13. Hundredfold -Probably
meaning, a very great- increase. "The
rates of increase vary from thirty to a
hundred. Sixtyfold is very good,, and
was not unusual in Palestine. A hun-
dredfold was rare and came only in spots
of extraordinary fertility. Babylonia,
however, yielded two, and even three
hundredfold, according to Ilerodotus.
Thus the Lord began to "bless them" -
Murphy.
13. Went forward -Hebrew "going";
that is, became increasingly greater. The
Hebrew term for walk is frequently used
in the sense of continued increase.
' Hom. Com. See R. V. He grew more,
and more until he became very great.
....e godly have the promise of this life
L Tim. iv. 8) .
14. Envied him -Here we see how van-
ity attaches to every earthly good; pros-
perity begets envy, and from envy pro-
ceeds injury. -Puller. "Envy is the con-
stant companion of prosperity." "Isaac's
prosperity was not unalloyed. He suf-
fered from envy. Be sure of this, that
for every blessing man pays a price.
If we heap possessions around us, we
lose quiet, we get anxiety. Every man
pays a price for his advantages, for tal-
ents, for property, for high station; he
bids adieu to rest, being public proper-
ty." -Robertson.
II. Isaac the peacemaker (vs. 15-22).
1... For all the wells, etc. -In those coun-
tries a good well of water was a posses-
sion of immense value; and hence in
their wars it was an object for either
party to fill the wells in order to dis-
tress the enemy. Envy considers that
which is lost to another as gain to itself.
' -Bush. 16. Go from us -Isaac does not
insist upon the bargain he had made with
them for the lands he held, nor upon his
occupying and improving them, nor does
!he offer to contest with them by force;
!but peaceably departs. eve should deny
ourselves rather than quarrel. -Henry.
17. Valley of Gerar - The country
around Gerar. Digged again the wells,
I etc. "It is our duty to. keep up the
,memorials of the great and good." The
• Philistines had filled the wells Abraham
had dug, and Isaac resolves to open them
again. "Many of our enjoyments, both
civil and religious, are the sweeter for
being the fruits of the labors of our fa-
thers; and if they have been corrupted
by adversaries since their day, we must
restore them to their former purity."-
Puller. orate '"Well
19. Well of 'springing ):-
of living waters." This is its meaning
'both in the Old and New Testaments.
See John iv. 10-14; 7: 38; Rev. x. 6;
22: 1. An unfailing spring was an em-
' blem of the graces and influences of the
spirit of God. --Clarke. 20. Did strive -
"Those that avoid striving, yet can not
avoid being striven with. (Psa. 120:7).
In this sense, Jeremiah was a man of
contention (Jer. 15: 10). and a1s.n Christ
himself, though he is the Prince of
Peace." 21. Digged another well-"Ner-
er did any man more implicitly follow
the divine command., `Resist not evil.
• than did Isaas;" whenever he found that
' his work was likely to be a subject of
strife and contention, he chose to suffer
wrong rather than to do wrong. He
overcame evil with good. 22. Removed
from thence -We are told that he met
the envy with patience. and removed
from well to well, He preferred to sub••
mit to wrong rather than contend for
his rights. At last the Philistines de-
sisted. "Endurance, meekness, the gos-
pel spirit are the only true weapons to
use against the world. Isaac, like Christ,
conquered by meekness." "Abraham was
the man of faith, Isaac the man of en-
durance, and Jaeob the man of prayer."
-Japobus. Rehoboth -"Room.' The
name Isaac gave to this well indicates
, that he was patient with his opposers,
and that he had succeeded in getting out
• of their way. "The piety of the patri-
arolt is seen in his prompt recognition of
the band of God in the event. Any one
could see that the Philistines had given
• ever their opposition, but lsaae saw that
it was a higher power that controlled
them." -Chambers. Patience and for-
bearance like this in a person of such
Wealth and power are seldom seen.
III, The Lord appears to Isaac (v.e.
23-25).
23. To ]3eer-slieba-Isaac had trouble
while among the Philistines. He now
returns to the old paternal home to pass
Ibis declining years. "Many memories of
his father and mother, his marriage, and
Ibis own early life clustered around the
old homestead and hallowed it." "To
enjoy God's presence we must be where
, tae i9, and he certainly is not to be found
' amid the strife and contention of an un-
godly world; and hence, the sooner the
child of God gets away from all suoh,
i the better; so Isaac found it" 24. ane
Lord appeared --The angel of the coven-
ant -the Messiah. The same night -
"He needed special encouragement when
insulted and outraged by the Philistines.
and God immediately appears to cion -
'fort and support him in Thistrials. by
4 renewal of all his (promises." The Gods
Of Abraham -"God is not the God of the

'Therefore Isaac is assured that his Fath.
er, who had been dead seventeen years,
is still alive, With thee-xsrtae was en-
couraged not merely by the Lord's. bless-
ing, but by the Lord himself, for , ... ,
Abraham's sake-" The covenant ' had
been made with Abraham, and Isaac was
simply heir to its blessings. The favor
of God rested ppon him, and would con-
tinue, not so much for hi's personal qual-
ities as because ho was the seed of pro-
mise. Isaac was not the first, nor by
any means the last, to experieliee the
blessedness of being the &Ala of a be-
liever." -Chambers, 25. Builded an al-
tar--= `Lsaac first built an altar and then
digged a well. Every dwelling -place of
the godly should be a sanctuary." There
at last he mad real enjoyment. He hada
an undisputed well which the Philistines
could, not fill up, because they were not
there. •
PRACTICAL SURVEY.
I. Ieac's prosperity. "Isetae sowed....
and reeeivett.....n hundredfold; and the
Lord blessed him" (v. 12). "Isaae'e pros-
perity was evidently due to the divine
elessing. It was wonderful. Thirty, sixty,
and an hunderdfold Matt. slit. 8, 23)
was the range of fertility in that xe-
Bion. 'thus too yield 'of bsaae's land, by
God's, blessing, reached to the ,highest de-
gree of protuotivenese." "Many men
leave ,God altogether out of business.
They think to take Him into it is en-
thusiasm and fanaticism, if not weak-
ness. But he never succeeds who le so
weak as to leave God out of the tem-
ples of trade upon the exchange and in
tele . cvaai,ting.ie ese)., Telt :noble , man:
the 'Prince eons:ert, selected for the
motto of the beat London .Exeha,.nge,
the earth is. the Lord's, and the fulness
thereof.'
II. (sac's progress. "The man waxed
great, and ,went forward and grew until
he became very great" (v. 13). Going
forward we grow in grace and knowledge
(2 Pet. iii. 18), grow up into him in all
things (L+'ph..iv. 15). ,:llany Christians
are dwarf (because they teed on light
literature instead of on the bread of
life; drink front the polluted stream of
worldly pleasure, instead of the .clear
waters of spiritual beneficence; breathe
the impure air of goss'ipa instead of the
invigorating atmosphere of Christian
communion; dwell in the miasmic low-
lands of doubt instead of on the sunny
hills of faith; elope in the dark dung-
eons of despair instead of rejoicing in
the cheerful castles of content. About
twenty-five years ago a young man in
England was fighting a sore battle. He
was about to conte of age, and his fath-
er proposed to take him into partnership
in his business. The business was the
brewing trade, in which his father had
become immensely wealthy. The young
man had recently become a Christian.
He consecrated :himself to save the vic-
tims of drink and undo, so far as lay
in his power, the mischief his father had
done (sod prospered hum. His work grew
until he was able to erect on the Mile -
End road, London, a noble building for
his work costing half a million dollars.
Ile has a splendid coffee palace, a book
saloon, a hall that will seat 5,000 people
so placed that every person can see and
hear the speaker, offices for his secre-
tares for different clubs, Christian as-
sciations and building societies -all ruo
on business principles. 1 o services are
allowed in the great hall or club rooms
which would be discordant with a Sab-
bath day •service. This glorious mission
has a wonderful record. It has been run
for twenty-five years without a break
of a night and many trophies have been
brought into the Redeemer's kingdom. In
the hot summer time the Sunday congre-
gations average 4,000 people, and on
week days from 1,200 to 1,600. There is
a constant, blessed fruitage of souls.
Like Isaac, the Lord was with this man,
and he "went forward alio, grew until he
became very great"
111. Isaac's patience. "He had posses-
sion -and great store. , .and the Phil-
istines envied him. For all the wells...
the Philistines, .. filled.... with earth'
(vs. 14, 15). "Isa.ac's prosperity was not
unalloyed, nor his progress unimpeded.
He suffered from envy. But lie met it
by patience. When persecuted in one
place he fled to another. He removed
from well to well (vs. 17-22). And his
patience was victorious. it won his ene-
mies. They carie and asked for a
treaty" (v. 28).
IV. Isaac's peaceableness. "Isaac's
servants Jigged... a wall... and the herd -
men of Gerar did strive...saying, The
water is ours...and he digged another
well" (vs. 19-22). "The spirit of the ninth
beatitude dwelt in Isaac more than in
any other man of his times. He would
not permit strife."
V. Isaac's protector. "Pear not. for 1
am with thee" (v. 24). When the Philis,
tinse forced him to remove from place to
place, and molested him continually,
then God visited him and gave him fresh
assurances of perpetual protection and
guidance.
VL Isaac's posterity. "I am the God
of Abraham thy father.. . I am with thee,
and will.. , multiply thy seed for niy ser-
vant Abraham's sake" (v. 24).
VII. Isaac's prayerfulness. "He.:....
called upon the -Lord" (v. 25. After
God's appearance to him isaac hastened
to erect an altar and make the place of
solemn covenant a place of grateful.
prayer. "Prayer is the highest, holiest
work to which a man can rise. It is
fellowship with the Holy One, the chan-
nel of all blessing, the secret of life and
power." A. C. M.

Bradstreet's Trade Report.
14lontrea.i-Veryeeeeye weather during
tie past' Week' has had a. tendency to
work against the r•etall trade. Later in
the week, however, there was some mod-
eration and the retail demand was again
brisk. Travellers report the outlook, for
both summer and fall trade to be exceed-
ingly bright. Dry goods lines are mov-
ing well. There are still complaints re-
garding deliveries in several lines and
silk favbres and threade are advancing.
Carpet prices have also advances and it
is reported Canadian manufacturers have
entirely sold up for spring delivery. The
grocery trade is fairly active. Canned
goods are firth and sugar is steady to
firm. There is little increase in the ar-
rival of country produce here.
Toronto General trade continues
brisk here. Wholesale trade and manu-
facturing, continues exceedingly active.
There is still complaint regarding the
slowness of deliveries of cottons and
woolens and prices are firm. Manufac-
turers sof white wear are hampered by
the scarcity of suitable cotton. sea.nt sup-
plies of embroidery and a shortage of ex-
perienced operators. General liras of
spring diygoods are going forward fairly
well, although Western transportation
facilities are still muck upset. The lat-
ter contingency has also had some effect
upon Western orders and collections in
general lines. Hardware continues na-
tive; with iron and steel prices firm. In
groceries, dried fruits hold very firm,
as alio does canned salmon. fruit • is

val by the Chamber of Deputies last
night of the Government church and
state policy, negotiations between M. De
Selves, the prefect of the Seine , and
Mgr. Amiette, coadjutor Archbishop of
Paris. on the subject of the contracts for
the lease of the churches, were resumed
to -day. The newspapers unanimously
recognize the completeness of Education
Minister Briand's - triumph; that some
of the Republican organs are plainly dis-
contented because it entails negotiations
with the eeelesi::stieai authorities. The
Moderates and Conservatives rejoice at
the prospect of religions Peace, but they
fear that the solution of the religious
question will only clear the way for
legislation which will inaugnrate social
warfare.
