The conversation between God and Abraham, re corded in Genesis 17, is detailed and specific. It has to do with the covenant between God and Abraham, and the promise that he would be the founder of a great people, and that in him would many nations be blest. Docs God speak in that way to men today? Or did He speak to men in ancient times in a dif ferent way?' Dreams may have been a means of communication, as we know was the ease with Jacob. The Bible is an eastern book; and the people of the Orient have never been bothered with our western materialism and literal ism. They express things in fig ures and symbols, and put truth ir. story form. They dramatize experiences and events, so that thoughts of God, and of God's grace and goodness, become ex pressed in God speaking. Whatever the means or meth od, Abraham was sure that God spoke to him, and made a cove s' nant with him. A covenant im- plies two parties, each of whom is to fulfill his part. The strik ing thing about this covenant tnat Abraham experienced is that i. was a moral covenant. The story is not that of a gran diose person, assuming that God had chosen him as a special fa vorite, glorying and hunting in his g4od fortune. On the con trary, It is the stnry of a man of great humility, accepting deep responsibility, knowing that any thing that acmes to him ot pos sessions or of power is to be ex ercised and used for the benefit Jf others It is the loftiness and nihility of such conceptions that niaftc one b'jre that, in whatever Full Gospel Mission Depot and Washington Rev.

Two Areas Closed in Deschutes Forest BEND, July 28 (UP) Deschutes national forest officials disclosed today the closing of two addition al areas in the upper Deschutes basin, including one of central Oregon't popular fishing haunts, due to increased fire hazards. The closures included the area west and south of Twin lakes, from about a quarter of a mila above the mouth of Brown's creek and extending downstream Vk miles, and an area on Davis creek. Both closed areas are In the Wickiup reservoir region. way it may have occurred, God really did speak to Abraham, and held before him both a way of duty and a great destiny. God's covenants and promises are all conditioned on man's per formance. Israel did become a great nation, but her greatness soon ceased when she forgot God and God's power in her deliver ance and leadership, turning to Idolatrous ways und socially harmful practices. A remnant of the sincere and devout, how ever, always remained, no mat ter how great the peril, suffering, or dispersement; and through these, the faithful in Israel, and the Christians, whose religion has been superimposed upon that of Judaism, have been blest, and greater blessings for them are in store. Does God make similar cove nants with men and nations to Shy? I believe so; and I believe tnat the quality of our American life and destiny depends upon the way in which we accept God's covenant, and work out our salvation, and the salvation r.f the world, knowing that it Is "He that worketh in us both to will and to do of His good pleas ure." We arc too apt to assume that character and performance have little to do with our destiny; tnat we are chosen for greatness, and are giing to be greater and greater just 'necause it is our itstiny. The history of the king doms of Israel ought to teach us rcttrr. Is is as true nf nations, as it is of individuals, that "the soul that sinmUh," it shdll die. No more than the Jews of old are we Americans God's chosen people, unless we accept His choice as those who above all else will reek to do His will, and build for ourseves,' and serve the word, in love, righti:ou.ipvSi, and liulli.

Raise right 2 Famous Pianists Helped Free Poland, Chopin, Paderewski Poland is and has been very much in the news these days. Its history and suffering in this war has been tragic. Its history, for a great many years before its free dom from Czarist domination, was also one of the tragedy, suf fering and the struggle of patri ots for a freedom which seemed always destined to failure. In these struggles there were two famous pianists who had great influence on her history. In the struggle for freedom, it was Frederic Chopin, composer of im mortal, romantic melodies. In the second phase, it was Ignace Jan Paderewski who became prime minister of an independent Po land and carried on the work bar gun by his illustrious predecessor. The story of Chop.n, Columbia Pictures is opening Sunday at the Liberty theater with "A Song to Remember," starring Paul Muni as the genius' music master, Merle Oberon as his great love, the novelist Madame George Sand, and featuring Cornel Wilde as Chopin himself. It is a stirring tale filled with this master's romantic melodies which everyone has grown to know and love, even if most per sons don't know. his compositions by their musical names. There is nothing highbrow about them, ex cept their titles. They were in spired fundamentally by the peo ple of Poland and are the type of melodies everyone can under stand and whistlel MmmmmM Saving 20 On Fire Insurance!
