was the dist:ince passed over between
two suecessive stopping places. The
word meane a pulling up, referring to
the pulling of tent -pine in breaking
camp, which ie a common event in the
nomadic, or wandering pfe of Beth -el
--Abrain had been at Bethel before this
(Gen, 12; 8) and had there built a nat-
ter to the Lord, as he had also built
(me Sheehem, his first stopping place
in Canaan. The plaee is twelve milee
north of the site of Jerthealem. 4. The
altnr-Abram wae a missionary in the
true sense of the word. He erected an
altar where he sojourned and worshippp
ped the Lord. Luther says Abram
"preached and taught his family and
Canaanitish neighbors the true religion."
Called on the name a the Lord -His
Worship was not merely in forte, but
was spiritual and aeceptable, He had
reaeon for self -humiliation and for
thankseiving in view of his attitude to-
ward dod and God's mercies to him.
H. Separation of Abram and Lot (vs.
5-13). 5. Lot also..had fleas, and herds
and tents -The Lord had granted to
Lot a large measure of prosperity. He
was indebted for much of title to the
forethought and influence of Abram who
lied generously associated him with him-
self. Abratn must also have been a bless-
ing to him spiritually. 0. Their subatanee
was (great -From the fact that soon af-
ter this Abram was able to gather from
his own attendants more than three hun-
dred figiiting men, it ie euppoeed that
his whole retinue, exclusive of Lot and
Ms servants, must have numbered a'
thousaud or more. Their flocks and herds
would require a wide range for pastur-
age, and a wider range, uo doubt, be -
(Anse of the effeets of the drought from
which the lend had just suffered. Since
tbe land was already occupied, Abram
and Lot could not occupy at will every
part of the country that they might de-
sire. 7. There was a. strife -While Abram
and Lot might therattelvee be on the
moet friendly terms, to their respective
a''Orvants would be entrusted the care
of the flocks and herds, and each would
naturally seek the most favorable pes-
tures for hi§ master's animale. Not only
must pasture be secured, but the flocks
and herds must be supplied with water,
and diepute,e would be likely to arise on
this amount between the two groups of
peryante Tbe Canaanite and the Periz-
zite dwelled then in the land -For this
, reason the territory of Abram and Lot
wae limited. The Cana,anites, "lowland-
ers," were descended from Canaan, the
fourth son of Ham, end the Perizzitee,
"highlanders," whose origin is obscure,
occupied the elevated regions.
8. Let there be no strife -Abeam was
the peacemaker in this affair. It cost
him something to :let suceessfally in
this capacity, yet he was prepared to
make the neeeesary sacrifice. Family
strife or religious strife is a most' dis-
tressing thing and there are always
Canaanitee and Perizzites about to ob-
serve it and eaet a reproach upon those
engaged in it. We be brethren -They
were not brothers in the Sense in which
we use the term, but were closely re-
lated, and were brethren in religion and
worship. There Wits nb1111(11111 reason
wiiy they should love and act as breth-
ren. 9. Is not the whole land before
thee -In this expression Abram gives
Lot to understand that he grants him
the privilege of chooeing the part of the
land that he desires. Separate thyself
...from me -Abram made VIA sugges-
tion solely in the interests of peace, not
because he had any ill feeling toward
his nephew. 10. Plain of Jordan -One

plains at each end. -Conder. Before the
Lord destroyed -Conditions in this val-
ley were greatly changed by the destruc-
tion of Sodom and Gomorrah., The gar-

Like the land of Egypt -The valley of
the Nile, from its being annually over-
flowed, was the richest land then known,
As thou contest unto Zoar-This clause
belongs grammatieally with the plain of
the jordan.
11. Then Lot chose...the plain of
Jordan -The reasonable and civil thing
for Lot would bare been to say to
Abram, as soon as the privilege of
choosing was granted, that he, Abram,
should take his choice inasmuch as he
was older and had been Lot's benefactor
during the years that were past; but
Lot stopped to look the ground over,
and selfish desire spran,g up to that
degree that courtesy and reason were
ignored and he chose the best there was
in Canaan. 12, Abram dwelled in the
land of Canaan -Large -hearted and true
to his word he took unhesitatingly
what was left. Lot...pitched his tent
toward Sodom -In this (thole° he not
only aeted selfishly, hut he exposed
himself to the influenees of worldliness.

he would risk his religion and even his
morality. Sodom was a eity notorious
for it$ wickedness, but it was. not long

thought that he married a woman of
Sodom, thus closely identifeing himself
with its inhabitants.

11. Touching Man's spiritual charaeter,
Whereves Aliram had a tent, God hea
an altar. We do not read that Lot
built an altar unto the Lord. His love

of life. His .disregard of spiritual privi-

on him a bitter portion of sin and

seemed not to have paused to consider
the effeet of his decision upon his own
character, and future well-being. Hie
family grew up in a very different at-
mosphere from that which had nourish-
ed his own youth in Abram'e tent. Un

look foeward, while Lot chose only for
tho immediate future, Abram bceame

a poor bargain for Lot to grow nett at

Chicago, Feb. 10. -Capt. Roald Am-
undsen came near leaving .ten gall-
ons of oil at the South Pole, it was
learned here to -day. The fuel Might
have saved the livee of Capt. Scott
and his companions. Captain Amund-
sen spoke of the oil by chalice.
"The day was bright and not very
cold," according to Captain Amundsen,
"There was a general inspection. of
the outfit before we started back
and for -ometime I debated with my-
self whether or not to leave behiad
two five -gallon cans of oil I did not
expect to need. In the end I did not
leave the oil."
Capt. Amuridsen said he had no
reason to suppose that the oil would
have been of any use to amain° at
the South Pole, but that he had not
left it was a melancholy reflection.
Capt. Aniundeen asserted that he -

BRADSTREET'S TRADE REVIEW.
MOntreal-Both wholesale and re.
tail business is picking up now that
cold weaeher nas Set in steadily. Steel
manufacturers are crowded with or-
ders. Boot and shoe nmeufacturers
are busy with spring orders and some
are having to turn away business. Fule
iers report a poor season. A good busi-
ness is passing in drygoods evith a
stiffening in prices. The money mar-
ket is still very tight.
Toronto -There is little indication
ef restraint of business as a result of
scarcity of money. Orders in most

being done in many lines, Drygoods
merchants are particularly active. The
only feature to trane that is other

crop an improvement is looked for.
Vancouver -Wholesale' business is,

heavy. Bank clearings continue to es-
tablish new records in matter of vol.

The scarcity of coal in Vancouver is
still being felt.

brisk, with merchants preparing for
the spring. Trade Movement in real
