O SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Lasting Peace Depends Upon Extent To Which We Emulate Abraham Scriptures Genesis 11:26; 12:20 Br WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. "Abraham" is a word written deeply into our American life and history, for' it was the Christian name of the great and noble Lin coln, who.'in a tragic time of di vision and strife, manifested the spirit of magnanimity which characterized the original Abra ham, the pioneer and immigrant of the Genesis'story. '.i The father and founder of the Jewish people, Abraham belongs to all of us, for God's purpose concerning him, stated in vari ous places, and specifically in Genesis 18:18, was not only that through him there should be come "a great and mighty na tion," but also that "all the na tions of the earth shall be blessed in him." That is a ..partially fulfilled purpose, but it still represents an unfinished work of God and man. As I write these words the representatives of the nations are still in session at the confer ence in San Francisco that is drawing to a close. It is the lat est effort of the nations to estab lish peace, and its ultimate suc cess will depend upon the ex tent to which nations and peo ples are willing to follow the pio neer way that Abraham explor ed, and to accept and achieve the purpose of God in giving to na- O RATION CALENDAR Processed Foods: Book 4 Blue stamps T2 through X2 valid through July . 31.

He was a pioneer in a physical sense, traveling far from his early home and its idolatrous surroundings of moon-worshippers to distant Palestine, where he could wor ship a spiritual God, according to his faith and conscience, .and lay the foundations of a race and nation. He made the great jour ney, with his possessions, herds, and herdsmen, when travel was not easy, and he went out, like all pioneers, with the courage of one who did not know what lay ahead. "He went out, not know ing whither he went." (Hebrews 11:8.) He was a pioneer of faith. All pioneers in a sense are men of faith. If they did not have some sort of faith they would not be pioneers for the pioneer is seek ing something better, either for himself, or for some opportunity to build on new foundations for tomorrow. He has a sense of des tiny. Our American pioneers must have had that, or they nev er could have faced the dangers and privations of the long trek across the prairie and over the mountains. It takes faith to build for the future. The Christian pioneers who went westward knew the story of Abraham, and they were conscious that they were following in his footsteps, fulfilling similar purposes of God. We shall see Abraham, in two lessons that follow, as a man of unflagging courage, able and willing to fight, if necessary, but essentially a man of peace, will ing to forego his own interests, if he can thereby maintain peace and good relationships. His story is among the supreme records of magnanimity. We shall see him as a man of resourcefulness and effectiveness, with all the efficiency of inward strength, able to take what seems the poorer land and the less lus cious fields, but able to make more out of them than the self seeking Lot, who chose what seemed the richer, and better watered country, when Abraham gave him his choice. Faith, courage, and efficiency these are the marks of the man who makes the purposes of God his chief aim and goal.
