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-

tions peace, prosperity, and bless

and strife.
Abraham was the true and no
ble type of the pioneer. 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.
