Lot'ta Choice -Gen. xiii, x -x3.
Commentary. -L Abram returns to
Canaan (vs. 1.4). 1. CJp out of Egypt -
In the language of the Jew the direction
to Jersualetu from every quartem was
upwards;. besides, Egypt was a low-lying
country and the taavelier would nave
to ascend ext his way to the hilly coun-
try of Canaan,-•!,tato. '•.b4 pt was not
the !place'of;.(zod's presence; Ile lost mole
then•lte gained_ by going thither." Abram
had no altar; in Egypt, '1'ne south -,Nat
elle south of Egypt, but the southern re-
gion' of l'ales•tine, A certain part of the
country was called the south before the
times of the patriarchs.
:2: • Very ilei%Abram: and Lot had
both been greatly prospered and were
very rich. The property of these times
did not consist in flocks only, but also in
silver and gold. "Abram was very rich,
and' yet, very religious. As piety is a
friend to outward prosperity (1 Tim. 4.
8), so outward prosperity, if well man-
aged, is an ornament to piety, and op-
portunity of doing so much the more
good." "The danger of riches appears
prominently here, in the very first case
in which riches, as such, are mentioned.
-Lange.
3. On his journeys -Literally, "jour -
nay" means "to pull up." ".An expres-
sion peculiar to the nomadic life - a
pulling up of tent -pins, breaking up of
• camp and (moving forward." -Terry.
Even to Beth -el -Abram returns to the
place of his altar in Bethel. In 4ike plan-
ner Christian settlements cluster around
their churches. -Lange. Nothing can
satisfy God, in reference to a wanderer
or a backslider, but his being entirely
restored, --C. H. M. between Beth -el and
Hai -Stanley well describes this point as
a conspicuous hill, its topmost summit
resting on the rocky slopes, and dis-
tinguished by its olive groves offering
a natural base for the altar, and a fit-
ting shade for the tent of the patriarch.
-Jacobus. 4. Called on..the Lord -
This implies more than an ordinary pray-
er; he again established public worship
at the old altar. He returned to a closer
walk witlh God.
IL Strife among the herdsmen (vs.
5-7), 5. With Abram -It seems plain
that Lot was from the very beginning
borne onward rather by Abram's influ-
ence and example than by his own faith
in "God. C. H. M. And yet Lot was a
good man for his righteous soul was vex-
ed at the ungodly deeds of his neighbors.
6. Not able to bear -Their flocks and
herds were so numerous that there was
not sufficient paturage or water. Then
• there were othelr tribes in the same ter-
ritory, and to add to the difficulty the
land had been impoverished by the re-
eent great famine. Substance was great
-As their families increased it was ne-
cessary that their flocks should increase
also, as from those flocks they eerie -ell
their clothing, food and oink. Many
also were offered in sacrifice to God. -
Clarke. Abram was now a kind of
prince, or sheik; for we learn that not
long after this he had 318 home born
mean of war (Gen. 14, 14), which implies
at least 1,000 or 1,500 persons in his en-
campment. Each time he encamped,
quite a town of black tents quickly mime.
--Peionbet. 7. A strife --The oecaeino
of their quarrel was their riches. -
Henry. "Prosperity as often a severer
tc rt of faith and charee ; e'• that is na-
versity. It is a steady, pervasive in-
fluence rather than a sudden attack
which can be avoided. It led in this case
to danger of family quarrel. Abranfe
faith triumphed, hut Lot yielded to its
power, and by it was brought under far
more dangerous influences." The quay -
rel originated in their eagerness for the
,possession of pasturage and for the wells
or fountains of water, which in that
rocky, arid region have a value unknown
to the inhabitants of a country like ours.
Dwelled then in the land -The Perizzites
are not mentioned in the table of na-
•tions (chap. 10). Their origin is obscure.
The Canaanites were the original occu-
pants of the soil -Hotu. Com, These
powerful tribes are mentioned, "1. To
show why Abram and Lot had but lit-
tle pasturage. 2. To signalize the im-
propriety and danger of their quarrel-
ling among . themselves. 3. To show
that Abrn.m felt that the eyes,of these
idolaters were on him, and that any
misstep on his part, as the representa-
tive of Jehovah, would be an ,occasion of
stumbling to them."-Gosman.
IIL Abram's generous offer (vs. 8. fn.
8. Abram said -Abram speaks first. ]"lie
offer is wise and generous. "He first let
Lot take his choice, and then left God
to choose for hini. This was heavenly
wisdom. This is what faith eves does.; it
abate' God to fix its inheritance, and is
-always satisfied with the porton which
God gives:" -C. H. M. No strife -"There
is a special danger of quarrels in the
lentil* andamong kindred, where there
is gietive work, because there are so
many conflicting interests among therm."
For we are brethren (R. V.) We are of
the sante family, worship the same God
in the same Way, have the same prom-
ises, and look for the same end. Why
then should there be strife? -Clarke, If
,we are brf+dhrene:let us act and love like
brethren. 9. The whole land -The heaven-
ly principle 4f Iforbearanlce erviden{Io
holds the sbbpremacy in Abram's breast.
He walks in the moral atmosphere of the
Sermon on the Mount; Murphy. Separ-
ate....froan mo IIis proposal to separ-
ate arises from his love of peace, not:
from any selfish regard to his own in-
terests. -Lange.
IV. Lot's unwise choice (vs, 10-13). 10.
Lifted up his eyes -There is a crisis in
every man's history at which it will as-
suredly be evade manifest on what
ground lie is resting, by what motives
dte ss a.etnnt.od. and by what objects he
is animated; thus it was with Lot. - til
C. H. M. Plain of Jordan -Lot chose the
Jordan valley north of the Dead Sea
near the city of Sodom, "Lot renis to
have had nothing in view but his tempor-
al convenience and advantage. Ile does
not inquire into the character of the in-
habitants, nor does lie appear to express
any rerluctance in leaving Abram." -
Benson,, Well watered -Thin was very
ianportent in Eastern countries, Before..
destroyed. -After these cities, were des-
troyed the face of the country was. al-
tered. Garden of the Lord. -The men.
tion of the garden of the Lord shows
how the traditions of Eden still lingered
in the thoughts of mien, and Lot's recent
sojourn in the valley of the Nile would
naturally prompt the comparison of the
well -watered Jordan valley to the land of
Egypt -Terry. Zoar-Rather Zor. Not
the Zoar near the Dead Sea, to which
Lot fled after the destruction. of So-
dom, but Zor, the border land of Egypt
toward the east, near the Great Wall
which once stretched across from the
Mediterranean to the Gulf of Suez. Zor
was the garden land of Egypt, through
which Lot and Abram must lately have
passed, which fact makes the reference
natural. Peloubet.
11. Lot chose -The choice was selfish.
Instead of greedily taking the best he
should have been generous toward: his
uncle who had done so much for hien.
Then, too, Lot had no regard for spiri-
tual things but decided wholly from
the standpoint of worldly advantage.
They separated -It is not thus with the
riches of grace or of glory; the more we
have of thein the closer it unities us. -
Fuller.
12. Pitched, .toward Sodom -He ad-
vanced toward it till he carne near, but
was probably prevented from entering by
the well knowno character of its inharbi-
tants: Leale. He who keeps bad com-
pany, indulges in doubtful pleasures, or
allows wrong and selfish acts to in-
fluenee his life is pitching his tent to-
ward Sodom. The only safe way is to
keep far away from sin and near to
God. We are commanded not to keep
company with wicked people who disobey
the word of God. See 1 Cor. v. 9-11; 2
Thess. iii, 6, 14, 15. "Evil communica-
tions corrupt good manners" (1 Cor, vv.
33).
13. Wicked and sinners --Tile men of
Sodom were sinners of the first mag-
nitude. -Henry. The greatest depravity
is often found amongst the inhabitants
of the most fertile lands. Lot has fal-
len into the very vortex of vice • and
blasphemy. -Murphy. Lot chose the com-
pany of sinners. "One is safe with wide -
ed
od mem so long as ho is endeavoring to
make then good, but is never safe when
he chooses their company." Lot was not
happy (2 Peter il. 8) he soon "became
tainted in his own eharaeter;" and he
lost everything, first llyy war and then by
the flames. Immediately following Lot's
choice the Lord made several great pro-
mises to Abram (vs. 14-17).
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
Abram wars called of God to lea�'e'..1
country, kindred and father's house and
go into a land which he knew .not (Gen.
vii. 1). "He event out, not knowing whi-
ther" (Heb. xi. 8). He listened to the
command and to the promise and "Alerts:
ham believed God, and it was counted
unto him for righteousness" (Rom. iv. 3).
"He staggered not at the .promise of God
through unbelief; but was strong in
faith, giving glory to God" (Rom. iv.;
20). God commanded and Abram obeyed
(Gen. xii. 4). Every act of obedience
brought a new revelation. As soon as he
had passed the border land into Ceettaan
the Lord appeared unto him.
1. Abram's position. "Abram went up
out of Egypt.... to Bethel. -.unto the
place of the altar, which he had made
there at the first; and them Abram Ball-
ed on the name of the Lord" c,v, . 1.-4).
When Abram went down into Egypt,
ever a type of the world, away from Be-
thel (House of God) he found. fear, in,
danger and rebuke, but he erected no
altar, offered no worship, enjoyed no
communion. All the days away from his
altar were lost days. God could not
"bless him" or make hint "a blessing"
in Egypt. But God watched over him in
bis wanderings, and not only delivered
him out of Egypt but brought him back
unto the place of the altar which he had
made at the first.
1I. Abram's proposition. Both Abram
and Lot were prosperous (vs. 9-5,) "And
..their substance was great, so that
they could not dwell together" (v, 6.)
In the strife ,between the herdsmen of
their cattle (v. 7), Abram, the richer and
older made a proposition to his nephew
to settle the disagreement. In this propo-
sition the'glory of Abram's character
shines forth. It was 1. Peaceable. `Tet
there be no strife" (v. 8.) Better than
any carrying out of our plans, however
good they may be, is the sacrifice of self
and its interests for the sake of peace
and love. Abram saw an occasion for
strife and alienation,!, mere force he
could have settled the question and sil-
enced Lot and leis angry servants, but
instead he breaks down opposition by
kindness and gives the first choice of t
home to his weaker relative. In the
biography of St. Francis de Sales it is
recorded that a nun excused herself to
him for having spoken hastily to some
one on the ground that it was in the
cause of justice. The saint replied,
"You have been more just than right-
eous, but we should be more righteous
than just." Madame Guyon says, "Since
God has given me grace to regard every-
thing and love everything in its relation
to himself, I find great *Hite, in bear-
ing. the defects and faults of my neigh-
bors, I have a readiness to please and'
oblige everybody." 2. Unselfish.
"Abram said , Is not the whole land
before thee? . .. If thou wilt take the
left hand, then I go to 'the right" (vs..8,
9.) By right the choice of position -for a
home lay with Abram, but by the high-
er law of love he waived it. Re reeog-
nized the claims of brotherly kindness,
I.CI, Lot's penalty (vs. 12, 13.) Doebt-
less at first Lot meant to dwell at a safe
distanee from Sodom,
but viola 11

Bradstreet's Trade Review,
Montreal -Little change has been no-
ticed in general trade conditions here
during the past week. There is continued
great aetivit*; in all brandies of menu -
facture. Textile man era eturers very
loudly complain and Ulnae these condi-
tions for slow deliveries and for con -
tinned firmness in price. It is true
stocks of cottons and of white good:
generally are Light and prices are likely
to eo higher. To meet the 1e -order trade
that should follow shipping there is a
very light accumulation of goods. The
hardware trade is fairly brisk. There is
a good demand for metals. Steel and iron
i3 very firm and expected to acivnnee
further. Tee grocery trade is fair for
this time of the year. Evaporated apples
have advanced. Cnnnod goods hold very
firm. Sugar is steady and in fair demand.
There is a good trade moving in •pravis-
ons and the tendency to pricey is firm.
