ABRAHAM (A PIONEER OF FAITH) | Sunday, July 6 Genesis 12:1-15; 13:1-12; 17:1-8; 18:22-33; Hebrews 11:8-10 Golden Text: By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after re ceive for an inheritance obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. (Heb. 11;8). One of the greatest characters, in all human history is before us. He is the first of the “Representative Men and Women of the Old Testa ment” when we are to study this Quarter; the Fourth Quarter of the year takes, up such’men and women of the New Testament. In looking at all ‘these characters let us remem ber that it is what God did for them that made them great, rather than what they did for God. God’s grace, or His undeserved love and kind ness, is the outstanding fact' in the lives, of all .go-eat characters in the Bible. It is true that these men and women, to be used of God, had to respond to His grace, and we are to- study their response as an ex ample to ourselves. But God did not choose them because they were great; they were made great be cause God chose them and worked mightily in their behalf. We read of Abram’s father, T'er- ah, that he took Abram and Lot and their families to go from their homeland, Ur of the Chaldea, into Canaan, but when they came to Haran and stopped and dwelt there; and it was there that Terah died. Ur is far to the east of Canaan, in Southeastern Mesopotamia, not far from the Persian Gulf. Haran is northwest from Ur and north Canaan, far on the way between two countries. The inference that Terah set out with good in tentions possibly having been called of God to do this, but lost heart and did not “carry through.” Genesis 11:31-32 tell of his starting for Canaan, and shopping at Haran and this section is headed in the Sco field Reference Bible: “Incomplete olbedience; the wasted years at Har an.” Abram’s homeland had been a place of idolatry. His call of God was a call not only to an individual but also to saved. God founded the only to bless they might be a blessing- nel of the blessing of eternal life to a lost race. “Get thee out' of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee,” said the Lord to Abram. We must leave the lost world, and we must separate from a lost race, even from our kindred after the flesh, if we would •come unto the Land of Promise which only God can show us. God promised to make of Abram a great nation and a great name. God has kept His promise—yet'his entire fulfillment is still in the future. He also premised: “I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.” This has been true of the history of the Jews, and always will-he.

And through the Jews not only is salvation come to all men by the birth, life, death and resurrection of “Jesus Christ, the Son of David,‘the Son of Abraham” (Matt, 1:1), but the time is yet coming -when all earthly nations shall be blessed by the ministry re stored to Israel. Abram obeyed God. He usually obeyed. God—'but not always. The Bible liever whitewashes its, heroes. It tells the truth about them, black truth as well as white, But' here Abram did exactly “as the Lord Ijad spoken unto him.” When he had taken his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot and his wife, and all the members of the two* households, we read an inspiring statement. “They went forth to go into the land of Caaan; and into the heart of Canaan they came.” That is the history of every journey entered upon and carried through at God’s direction, always arrive where God if we “trust and obey.” Later on, after Abram trusted God and sinned, been forgiven and restored- by God, he did a notable thing. He and Lot had great flock's.and herds and their herdmen were quarreling. Abram asked Lot to take his choice of any part of the land, and Abram would take the other part, Lot made a selfish and' fatal choice, the region toward Sodom; and Abram dwelt in Canaan. The unselfish man is never the loser in God’s service. Wdien Abram was ninety-nine years old the Lord appeared unto him again, renewed His covenant with him, and changed his name to Abraham, promising to make him a father of many nations. This covenant was everlasting, never to be broken; and “all the land of Ca naan” was given to Abraham and his people, “for an everlasting pos session.” Yet' some people today say there is nothing in Zionism! The Jews must have their God-covenant ed land again because God is God. The divine blessing must rest upon Britain for befriending Abraham’s seed. Abraham’s prayer for doomed So dom is one of the most' remarkable in the Bible. Sodom’s sin made the place and the people a menace to humanity, and the Lord told Abra ham that' he .must destroy it. In humble intercession Abraham plead ed with God to spare the place if fifty righteous persons could be found there; and God promised. Abraham continued . in- prayer, ask ing for mercy upon Sodom if there were forty-five righteous; then forty; th’en thirty; then twenty; and finally ten. Eaj3h time God granted Abraham’s plea; and Abraham stopped before God did. But there were not ten righteous persons in the city of dreadful sin; the doom tell, but Lot was saved. The New Testament ranks Abra ham high among the heroes of faith, as one who obeyed God by leaving his -own land without knowing whither he went, because, “he look ed for a city which hath founda tions, whose builder and maker is God.” Every true believer, whether ‘Jew or Gentile, is a child of Abra ham by faith.

Nearly three, years have gone since coming to Exeter, a stranger in one sense, yet, not, a stranger, for in that bond that ties all human souls together in Christian Fel lowship, you and your family soon became identified with this church. 'A good man is always a benign influence he lives, him as a of water, sured. self to be among us, by regular at- tenda'nee, your willingness to serve at all times, your sympathy for the work of the church, and above all, your Christian character. We feel that yon have been a real contribu tion to the spiritual life .of our church. The musical talents of Leone have ever been at our dispos al, and her fine young Christian character has been a most welcome influence among the girlhood of the community. We are glad to know that these gifts and graces which you possess, are likely to find even a wider field for expression in youi' new venture. We are indeed ^grateful that an op portunity is being given you by our Church to serve in a wider field and give ’to it the contribution which, by training, you are fitted for. We are justly proud of the courage you have shown, and the willingness to sacrifice which is yours in volunteering for missionary work in Western Canada. We pray that the promise that “he who loseth his. life for the gospels sake will find it,” may be abundantly fulfill ed in you, and that this new under taking may be but the .stepping stone to a higher sphere pf usefulness, within the ministry of our Church. . That you^jnay know of the •“Sin cerity of dur prayers’ for you, we ask you to accept these purses as a slight token of our appreciation of your life and work in our midst, and the assurance of our whole hearted interest in the work to which you are giving yourself. We want you to know that ’amid the •loneliness, and, possible hard'ships of a home missionary’s life, tlierq is a band of Christian people back in old Ontario, who will not forget you ai^l yours before the Throne of God. That 1-Ie may richly bless you in your work, and in His wise and gracious Providence* bestow upon .you, the best gifts of life, will be Mr. and Mrs. iStuart will our ernest prayer.
