Economic problems concerning the extension of electric power lines to :farms do not, as yet, disturb those -who have installed independent light and power plants. Many thousands -of these plants are at work on farms Tthat are too far removed from trans mission lines' to hope for service of lhe lattej, sort within a period of Of the 400,000 fafms in the United States on which electricity .is used in on 'way or another, fully half are sup plied by self-contained farm light and .power sets. That they are serving the purpose successfully In this period of the beginnings oi farm elec trification is indicated by the story of one farm family using suc& a set. This family lives In Stark County, North Dakota,, and uses its electrical 3lant chiefly for lighting. What It means to them is told by the woman of the farm: . . "We have in our house hot-water :heat, hard and soft water piped into the kitchen and into the basement, -and an electric light plant, which we -think is the finest thing on the farm. When we are out evenings, upon re turning we need wily to turn a button to give us light outdoors, by which the children and I can find our way Into the house without any trouble. "Then it is so esy to turn on the light 4n any room needed while husband takes the car to the shed, where he also has the light to see his way." ' Henry Sanders. Henry Sanders was born in Macon County, March 10,. 1845. After a brief illness he died September , 30, 1924. In 1875 he joned the Methodist -church at llcthcl in Macon County under the pastoragc of Rev. George 3daiden. In his church he took a lead ing part serving several, years as trustee bf church property, song lead er of the class and steward for about WEEKLY BIBLE TALK. Dy REV. E. J. PIPES. Last week we found that Abraham had left his fathers land at the com mand of -Jehovah came into the land of Palestine. . Twelve out of the fifty chapters of the first book of the Bible are occupied with the life of Abraham. This fact is not so remarkable when we remember that the call of Abraham is the beginning of the Hebrew His tory. The life and faith of this great patriarch has always been a fruitful theme for discussion, and it has been exalted to superhuman importance in its effects on the Jewish race. Secular history shows us that Abra ham had been brought up amid scenes of the most depraved idolatry. But the call of One Whom he seems to have recognized as the One true God found him ready to leave his home and kind red and start forth to an unknown land. So the most important thing about Abraham is that he believed in' God and not in Gods. Moving out from a pagan background, from all the tra ditions and customs that belonged to its.civilization, he stands free of their corruption and their folly. We are not to suppose that he "had a full conception of God as such has comedo us through the Christian revelation. As a matter, of fact the influences bf his earlier environment and of his earlier religious formulas clung to him as he went forward. This is seen all through the narrative. The faith of Abraham was prodigious but it was childlike at the same time. He lived at a time when men spoke face to face with God and received messages from Him. He did not hesitate to make bar gains with God nor did he hesitate tb go to the extreme in carrying out what he thought was his part of . the bargain. He was perfectly willing to offer up his son Isaac as a sacrifice to Him even as the idolaters offered up their children to their gods all around . . , i r i . . 1 1. i .t l years it drove uie sons or jaeon. i.,;yr1 had a cuilation of many centuries behind her, but at this particular time it had fallen on evil days. It was not settled monarchy ' but was ruled by local Fharaohs. Sarah's servant Hagar, came from Egypt and Hagar's son, Ishmael went to Egypt for his wife. But it is noticeable that when Abraham 'was ready to seek a wife fuIsaac, he sent back to his old Mcsopottamian home. The coming of Rebecca to be Isaac's wife marks the definite policy of the Hebrew's refrain ing from marriage with any foreign stock. The eighteenth chapter records the promise given to Abarham and Sarah of the birth of a son, and then in the next chapter comes the story of Soclom being destroyed and the wife of Lot being turned into a pillar of salt. In this story as in the story of the tower of Babel Jehovah is repre sented as coming down to investigate the guilt of 'the cities of the plain. Lot receives the visitors graciously as did Abraham his ..visitors in the prececding chapter. This gives us an idea of the hospitality of those early Nomads. It was natural for those ear ly writers' to tell of the destsuction of a town in such a manner; for to them it meant God's displeasure. The fact that the plan was subject to earth quakes "and that the (Jcogical for mation caused immense pillars of salt to rise does not in the least take away from the value of the story. 1 In chapter twenty one we have the promise made to Sarah. fulfilled. Isaac is born. You know the story of the life of Isaac and how nearly he came to be offered up as a human sacrifice. This story gives us a consistent portrait of a man after God's own heart. A noble ambtious, courage, unselfishness, and absolute obedience to his God. Such a man was Abraham. MSfING m TURKEY IS ONLY.
