■ THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON VIII.FIRST QUARTER,INTERNA TIONAL SERIES, FEB. 24. Test of the I.eaaon, tien. s r , 1-10. Memory Veraee, S, O—tiolden Text, <»en. sv, <1—Commentary 1‘repnreil by Elev. D. M. Stearne. [Copyright, 1907, by American Prew Auociation.] As <jlo<], Uie faithful t.'r<‘ntor (I Pet. Iv, 19), saw His friend Abram return ing from his victory over the four kings and saw the temptation that Satan was planning for him through the king of Sodom He forestalled the adversary by sending Melcbizcdek. His servant, king of Salem and priest of the most high God, to bless Abram and to meet him with bread and wine, so that when the king of Sodom offer ed Abram the goods he had captured he was able to say: No; I thank you Having the blessing of Him who possesses heaven and earth, 1 prefer to receive no favors from you. How the church has fallen from this high | standard, for it would be a rare thing today to see her turn her back upon any one who would send some earthly IKJSsossions her way to help her carry on what she calls the Lord's work She is evidently not intimate with the possessor of heaven and earth. It seems probable that the great ail versa ry was making it lively for Abram after his victory over the four kings and over the offer of Sodom's king and was saying to him something like this: Those kings will gather their forces and come upon you and take you and yours off the earth, and w h a t a fool you were to refuse those goods you cuptured! So Abram doubtless had some fears and also some thoughts of the reward he might have had. Then the word of the Lord came unto him In a vision, saying: “Fear not, Abram. I am thy shield and thy ex ceeding great reward.” Thus the Lord delivered His friend from his fears and comforted him by the revelation of Himself. Lay to heart this first precious “Fear not” and look up and eat all the others you can find, and may the Lord God he to you person ally a sun a nil shield (Vs. Ixxxiv, 11). and may you he satisfied with Himself as your reward. i The years are passing with Abram, and the heir has not been given, and he Inquires of the Lord about it and is brought forth and told to look to ward heaven and number the stars if he can (verse 5), and he is assured that so shall his seed be. This was a higher look than that of xill, 14. even a look to the Lord Himself, and in the direction of Ilis dwelling places. In reply to his question, “Whereby shall I know?” he is referred to the sacrifices, which nil point to the one great Sacrifice, by whom alone all things arc made sure, for \All the promises of God in Him are yea and in Him amen” ('ll Cor. i, 20). He who spared not His own Son will with Him also freely give us all tilings (Rom. viii, 321, and It is our privilege to keep the birds (the evil one. M att. xiii. 4, 19) away from the promises b y our steadfastly believing them. The 400 years* bondage of Abram’s posterity and then their deliverance are here plainly foretold and also prefig- jnred by the smoking furnace and the burning lamp (verses 12-17). The lit oral fulfillment is seen in Ex. xii. 33-41, even to their coming out with great substance, The reason why Abram could not at once possess the land is given in verse 10, and we see In the same words the reason why the Lord does not now at once take the kingdom. Not till the church Is completed and taken away shall the mystery of iniquity be fully developed (II Thess. II, 7-9). In verses 18-21 we see that the land which God gave to Abrnm by unconditional cove nant will reach from the river of Egypt to the Euphrates, a very much larger portion than that which we now know as Palestine. Tills is In some respects the most re markable c h apter we have y et taken up since the creation and restoration of chapters 1 and 2. There are so many words used in it for the first time, such as the word of God. vision, fear not, shield, reward, believed, right eousness, etc., and, inasmuch as the first use of a word is the place to get light upon its significance, one can readily sec by taking up these words what a field for study and meditation is here opened up. We have already suggested the “fear nots.” but what about the words “believe” and “right oousness?” See how the Holy Spirit has Himself repeated verse <1 In Rom. iv, 3; Gal. ill, <\•: .las. ii, 23. and In the context In each place enlarged upon them and made plain that God's only way of righteousness is by faith in ,Testis Christ apart from any works of ours (Rom. Hi, 24; Eph. \\. 8. ',); Tit. ill, 3). T’p to chapter xiv we have had hut two names of our great < Iren tor and Redeemer—viz, God (Eloliim) and Lord (JehoVah), or combinations -of these—the first revealing to us God ns the Creator, and the second (a name used perhaps 7,000 times in Scripture) revealing to us God as our Redeemer bringing to ns righteousness by sac rifice. Then lu chapter xiv, 18-20, we have for the first time from the lips of Mel- ehlzedek \the most high God” (El- elyon), the possessor of heaven and earth, whom we so need to know if we would do Ills work In Ills way and not dishonor Him by worldly ways. Now In this lesson we have another revelation of God In the name “Lord spelled with a capital \L\ and “ord” In small letters. This Is the word “Adonal,” which the Jew s use Instead of Jehovah, believing the latter to he too holy to utter. It suggests our Cre ator Redeemer as our possessor or pro prietor. The word \GOjD” in capitals (verses 2. F) Is the same its. “LORD” In capitals, Jehovah. T h e Freeport Bank Capital $30,000 Main Street F r e e p o r t J ohn J. R a n d a l l , President D.

Hall Edgar Jackson UK danger seems to be in our EXCESS OF PROSPER ITY. The great demand seems to be for money for bank reserves, which exists not only in the United States, but in all the other commercial countries of the world. It is with us more than the usual CROP MOVING stringency. This calls attention more strongly than ever to the necessity of some change in the currency of the United States which will enable the banks and the people to handle a larger amount of business WITH LESS DISTURBANCE of financial conditions. The only practical way to do this is to change the system of ISSU ING BANK NOTES. When there is an active demand for reserve money AS RESERVE in the banks and at the same time an in creased demand for currency for cash transactions, it is a very wasteful use of reserve monev to take it out of the banks either to be locked up annum. ^ ! i * Accounts of corporatioius, i l n I ri o o n i»Tr r \ v Fz-x o o n r* i 11 I o ♦ i i t vxi z-xz-l i n zinc Ii -rxo v*-v-wT r 4-^ . • . _ i • ? i i August Immig ^ William G.

IT WOULD BE FAR BETTER IF OUR BANKS COULD KEEP RESERVE MONEY ON HAND AS RESERVE AND FURNISH THE CASH CURRENCY IN BANK NOTES. This is a matter of far greater importance to the general public and the people engaged in all lines of business than it is to the banks them selves, except so far as they may be interested in the general prosper ity, which, of course, is the truer and HIGHER INTEREST of a bank. The banks can view with equanimity an active demand for money and an increase in the rate of interest. The scarcity of money and the higher rate of interest make the handling of the crops raised for our farming population more difficult AND MORF. EXPENSTVK. This increased cost must ultimately be paid by the man who raises the crops, lie is therefore more vitally interested than any one else in an improvement in our facilities for providing CROP MOVING FUNDS. Any financial disturbance caused by tightness of money is felt more directly and keenly, perhaps, .by men engaged in commercial, manufacturing or mining industries. All modern business must neces sarily he done largely ON CREDIT. A bill, the object of which is to increase the elasticity of our cur rency, has been recommended by the banking and currency commit tec to the house of representatives dealing with this subject. It may not be a perfect, bill and may not give us ideal conditions in our cur rency laws, but it is A STEP IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. Its main features have the indorsement and support of the New York Chamber of Commerce, the loading commercial body of the United States, and of a commission appointed by the American Bankers’ asso ciation, embracing representatives from all the leading banks of the country. IN THE INTEREST NOT ONLY OF FINANCIERS AND.

Thurston A ppraiser of R.en.1 Estate and A djuster of Fire Losses there is robbery, robbery—CONSTANT robbery. 1 he real way in which to remedy these conditions is to get at the root of the trouble—to have this robbery STOPPED. It is not right that that which one individual has ereateed should go to a man who has DONE NOTHING in its creation. The profit should go to the one who labors, but who labors in the right direction. The burglar labors mentally and physically, but in the WRONG DIRECTION, and we all concede that it is not right when he takes that which belongs to another. Just so should we condemn the Wall street spec ulator, whose wealth comes from dealing in products in the creation of which he has taken no part what ever. Is it right that that which the laborer and his foreman HAY E CREATED should go to stockholders who have done nothing ? YVe are too prone to fight against the laboring man who may SOMETIMES got more than he should than against the far more evil power —the capitalist who is making profits, earning dividends on that in the making of which he has done nothing.
