The Teet Of Abraham's ralthe—gen,
nit 1-10.
Chhhneentery.—I. The collimated given
(vs, 1, 2). 1, After these things ---After
the birth Of 1saae and the events sub-
sequent to it tie shown in the preceding
eluipter, God did. tempt Ahralient—"Ditt
provedh-elt. V. The word "tempt" is
conatlenly need' in the eeuse of sonata -
tion to evil, but that le not the mean-
ing here. A test was abuut to be made
of Abraham's faith; and in the light
of the oft -repeated promise made to
Atwell= of an ithundant posterity, and
the birth of Isaac, through whom the
proiniee weuld be fulfilled, no greater
test could be made. Here am --Abra-
ham was in etteli a state of devotion to
God that he. recognized hie voice when
he Spoke, end was ready to respond at
onee to what might be required of him.
2. Take now...thine only son Istrito-
16;44 was the only son of Abraham and
riehitle Ishmael had been born to hint
and 'Tager, 8,1trah's eervant, Whom
thou loveet—This is the first timo that
the word love is used in the ecriptures.
Abraltant loved Isaac, not only no Ids
eon, and the son of hie old age and the
eon through whom he wee to Leconte a
great uation, hut as the child of au
eepeelal promise, The land of Morialt
—The prevailing opiaion, which. ie doubt -
lees the true one, is that it was ono of
the mountains upon which Jeensalent
was leter built and the site of the
temple, uear to Calvary, where Christ
Nras offered up. Offer him there for a
burnt offering—There is nothing here,
when the whole ace:omit is considered,
to 'sanction the practise of offering hu-
man sacrifiees. The command to offer
up belie eras given to test A.brahands
aith, and eviren he stood the teen the
ler was countermanded, and. vktim
tor seerifiee woe at hand (vs. 13).
N11. Abraham'e faith anti obedience
•O'S. 340). 3, 'Wee up early in the
vaorning—An early start on a, jonrney
is aid important in the east. Thus would
the traveller avoid the heat of the day
in the sun, by travelling Ixtfore the sun
was tip, and matter, in the heat of the
day.—Wheclon. Tlie early start shows
thet, there was no delay in obeying
God's cornmarel. Saddled—Bound upon
the beeet of burden the baggage neces-
sark,for the jounce'. Young men--teer-
vents. Cleve the wood for the bernt
offerino—A sutpply of dry wood was pro -
Tided. .4. On the third day—From Beer-
sheba to Mottut Morialt was forty-five
miles. The journey was made on foot,
so that three days was none too long
thne to reach the plaee and offer
the saerifiee. Saw the place afar off—
Some have supposed that the particular
place was designated by a cloud. or pil-
tar of fire representino the divine glory,
but this seems rathe;fanciful. The bill
called Moriah can be seen at a dietance
of three miles by oue travelling toward
it from Beer-elieba. 5. Abide ye here—
The hill may haw been difricult of ac-
cess, so the ass was left at the base
in charge of the servants; then, too,
Abraham desired to be alone with Isaac.
O. Upon Isaac—It is probable that Is-
aac eves twenty-five years old at this
thno and better able to carry the wood
than was his fether, who was one hun-
dred years older. We aro ieminded of
Christ's carrying his -cross up the hill of
Calvary. Took the fire in his hand—
Matehes were not then invented and fire
was carefully preserved. Abraham pro-
bably carried the live coals in a, brazier.
7, Where is the Iamb for a burnt offer-
ino—Teartc's appeal was tender and are
fecntionate.eand his father's heait muet
have 'milted and failed, bad it not been
for his faith that God. was able to fulfil
his word. The son's query was most
natural. Wood, fire and a knife had
been provided, ana stones were abunce
tint, but no provision had. been made
for a victim. 8. God will provide himself
a Limb—The time had not yet come for
Abram to make known to Isaac his
pnrpose in detail of going to Moriato
Abraham's answer was complete enough
for trutlifulnees, and guarded enough
her the occasion. It expreseed the great
faith. of Us heart and went far boyond
his knowledge. The word winch Abra-
litim here uses for, God is "Jehovah -
:lira." (v. 14), which means the Lord
will provide or the Lord will see. "In
the very change of God we see a pro-
grese he faith and lovo. God, the gov-
ernor, commanded, so it seemed to
Abraham; but Jehovah, the covenant
God, providee the weer of eseape."—Peo
loubet. They eveut both of them toge-
ther—Ablutham went with implicit fa.ith
in God, and Isaac with full feith in his
tether and in his father's God. 9. The
pletee--Clod bad matte it perfectly clear
where the offering; should be made. Built
an altar—The actual preparations tor

steal etrength, and could easily have re-
sioteel his father's efforts to bind him
and,pleoe him upon the alter. We may
see In Isaac a type of Chriet, as a sacei-
fiee for sin. 10. Stretohed forth his
leond—So far as Abraham's consecration

cerned it was cemplete. The eaerifiee

end religion. It was a teet thot put the
severest poseible strain upon him in the

epiritual life. He oboytsd aetually told
promptly the letter awl the spirit of
the command by which lie gave fun evi-
dence that he loved God sincerely and
sitpremely. All the elements of hdety
were in his aet. lfe did not wait for a re-
petition of the command, nor demand
additional evidence concerning it. He
did not question the love or disdem at
Glad. His obedience portrays all the vir•
hies in one, blended in a. marvelous bar-,
-loony. The ecceptienee of the eacrifice
which God provided WaS the true test of
hie spiritual charaetor. Abrabam pre.
pared' with eaered forethoughe eovry-
thing for the sacrifice, He had learned

The erucial test could. only take place

Abraham had 'earned that all power to
ho right- or to do right began with the.
offering up of himself. :The, heart ot
Abraham was the primate point of the
aesault in his trial of faith. He did opt
allow his affection for Isatic to hinder
his faith.
IL The open door to divine revela-
tion. Wee's deliverance wee an integral
part of the divine purpose from the be-
ginning of the trial. The ram caught in
the thieket Was all that was needed for
the eymbolical expression of that in-
ward oblation. When Abraham lifted
the knife, his sacrifice was complete.
Isaac had already been saerificed upon
the altar of a father's. heart. God's
"lay not thine hand- upon the lad," was
the final decree that human sacrifice
was forbidden. By this time Abraham
had iuereased in faith and understanding,
until the meaning of the duty God re-
quired wae plain. On Mount Maria
the religious life of Abraham reached its
maturity, and his knowledge of the di-
vine nature attained its greatest epirit-
ual depth, It was the scene of revela-
tion. By the interposition of the divine
voice, 'Abraham learned that obedience
was complete when the inward surrender
was complete. His faith was rewarded
by receiving again the surrendered saeri-
fice, made more precious because it had
heeu ou the altar. Ietiac became a
living memorial of God's faithfulness. To
Abraham this was a victory revealing
the trust God had placed in him, a vic-
tory which obtained fresh tekene of di-
vine love. From Mount Moriah there
went up the sweet savor of acceptable
sacrifice before any fire was kindled on
the attar. On his return Abraham had
the consciousness that he had recognized
Godn absolute elaim upon him, that he
had followed the path . of rectitude
through bis trial, and that he had ob-
tained the approval of God. Through
eignal interposition he had the assur-
ance of future blessing, and was told
of a glorious future, when the ooreat
'Sacrifice should be offered on Mount
