t REV. ROBERT H. HARPER t
Abraham’s Practice of Broth
erhood.
Lesson for July 22: Genesis 13:
1-12.
•Memory Verse: Genesis 13:8.
After the sojourn in Egypt,
Abraham went up “into the
South”—the southern portion of
Canaan, and came at length to
his old altar.at Bethel and called
upon the name of Jehovah. Go
ing into Egypt, Abraham relap
sed from faith and trusted in his
own devices, with bad conse
quences. In returning to Canaan
to make a new start, he return
ed also to his altar and his faith.
He and his clan were rich and
the land was not “able to bear”
both his flocks and those of his
nephew. Strife between Abra
ham’s herdmen and those of Lot
was unseemly and .might be
perilous in the presence of the
Canaanites and the Perizzites.
The older man bade Lot choose
whatever portion of the land he
would. And Lot chose the rich
plain of the Jordan and “pitched
his tent toward Sodom” and
dwelt in that wicked city by and
by.
Contrast the motives of Abra
ham and Lot, when they separ
ated, and see"the results, in each
case, Abraham remained in the
hills, but his generosity brought
him rich reward. Lot reached
Sodom but his worldly spirit and
his selfishness brought h i s
material ruin and he soon pas
sed into oblivion. Thus does seif
interest often lead men to more
than they bargain for.
Abraham, in his “practice of
brotherhood,” accepted the poor
er section of the country but he
retained his earthly riches and
in time received infinitely more
than the riches of earth. Un
selfishness brings men to the
higher good, without which
material things prove a delusion
and a snare. They who make the
great decisions with thought of
the other fellow and in the light
of the eternal world are truly
wise.
