God's Instructions to Abraham
Stresses Humility of Man
Scripture: Genesis, Chapters 17, 18
By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D.
How did God speak to men in
olden times? 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

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.

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
