optometrical e a grubin ro optometrist picton ontario dates of visits to stouffville office announced in local columns the lesson as a whole approach to the lesson in the story of abraham the father of the hebrew people as well e of many other nations we have what we might call a sample bible biography in a few graphic sket ches we have the outline of a great and noble character yet with certain failures and imperfec tions plainly portrayed as a warn ing to thoe who follower after that they might avoid such mis takes anil blunders that which is stressed however is the simple faith of this great and noble man who dared to trust god and to rely upon his word even when from a natural standpoint there seemed no possibility of the pro mises ever being fulfilled he be- lieved god and it was counted un to him for righteousness rom 12 gen 150 it is because of this that he stands out so preeminent ly in the list of old testament worthies king jehoshaphai spoke of him long years afterward as abraham thy friend 2 chron 207 and this title was recognized as befitting by god himself in isaiah 41s and is given him in james 223 what greater honor couid be put upon any man than thus to be recognized as gods friend it was because of abra hams confidence in the lord and his trust in him that he was thus designated from his boyhood in ur of the chaldees to his death in the land of canaan his life is full of interest and holds our attention today as though he were one of our own contemporaries of course no single lesson can even begin to do justice to such a remarkable character but it at least gives us to realize something of the place of biographical literature in this divine library that we call the bible the historical setting abraham called abram at first was born and educated in ur a great chaldean city whose ruins have been uncovered quite recent ly though living in the midst of idolatry there came to the youth the knowledge of the one true and living god he was the son of terah who seems also to have ac cepted the new revelation for it was he who took the initiative to leave ur with his family and go to haran where he died after this abraham went on to canaan at the divine command he had married his halfsister sarai later called sarah who was ten years his junior they were childless un til when abraham was one nun- rev m c davles member for windsorwalkerville has
