Abram's going down to Egypt was certainly a mistake on his part. for there was no altar to the Lord there nor any new revelation from the Lord, and Abram dishonored the Lord by fear and deceit and brought upon him. self the rebuke of a man of the world. a heathen king. By all our conduct we are either honoring or dishonoring the Lord. magnifying Him or magnify- ing ourselves. and we would do well to test everything by this test. He is able to take care of His own people and His own work under all circum- stances, and all He asks of us is a whole heart for Him, such an abiding in and separation unto Him that He l When at any time we wander away : from the Lord the only thing to do is i to return as quickly as possible. for He ; is ever calling the wanderer to return. as in lsa. lv. 7; .ler. iii. 14. 22: E108. xiv, 1, 2. and the word 01' encourage- ment awaits both the unsaved and the saved. "Him that cometh to Me i will ‘ in nowise cast out" (John vi. 37). it 3 is good to see Abram back at the place ;;of the altar between Bethel and Hat and to hear him calling on the name of THE INTERNATIONAL seams.’ Text of the Lesson, Gen. xiii, 1-12. Memory Verse. 8-â€"Golden Text, Prov. the Lordvh'erses 3. 4) and to know that the Lord has abundantly pardoned him according to His word. It may seem strange to some to see Abram very rich in cattle. in silver and in gold (verse 2l notwithstanding his wanderings from the Lord. but let such consider their own mercies and say if they have not been dealt with in loving kindness beyond all their dec serts. Sometimes the Lord would draw us back to or closer to Himself by His great mercies. and we have all and al- ways reason to say, "It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed. be- cause llts compassiuns fail not" (Lam. iii, 22!. C I j_r Lot also was rich in docks and herds, and his herdmen and those of Abram could not agree. So to prevent strife Abram told Lot to take his choice of territory and that he would take that which Lot did not desire. Thus mag- nanimons could this great man afford to be because he was the friend of God and the Lord was his portion. Being a witness for God before the, Canaan. ites and I’erizzltes who dwelt in the land, he could not tolerate strife, for “the servant of the Lord must not strive” (Ii Tim. ii. 24). Meekness. lowliness and submission are always becoming in a Child of God, but never strife. not even to maintain our so called rights. We are exhorted to take wrong and suffer ourselves to be defrauded rather than strive before unbelievers (I Cor. vi. (3. 7). 'wâ€"cv It was good for Lot to be with Abram, but not so good for Abram to have Lot with him. Separation from lLot was really to Abrain's advan- |gtag'e and evidently pleasing to the E Lord. for the Lord had another mes- ;sage for Abram as soon as Lot was N. separated from him (14-17). There was a renewed assurance that the Lord l would give him the whole land and the 3 promise that his seed would be as the L dust of the earth (verse 16.) l In verse 18 see this friend of God the people who lived on the plain. who are. described as "wivkud and sinners hefore the Lord. exoeedingly." LOt chose the plain of Jordan, because he saw that it would admirably suit his numerous flocks and herds (verses 10-13). It is said that “he lifted up his eyes," but it was only to behold the low and fruitful valley of the Jordan. He did not behold the Lord nor con- sider His will in the matter. it was a case of self only. In verse 18 see this friend or uou dwelling with Him at ilehron, which signifies fellowship. away above the sinners of Sodom and in communion with God with his altar unto the Lord. This prepares us for the record in chapter xiv of the capture and captive ity of Lot and his goods by the four kings. while Abram. living above and away from all the turmoil, is able to go with his 318 trained servants and rescue Lot and his people and all his goods. While mixed up with the world we cannot expect to have victory over it, and it is only as we dwell at He- bron in fellowship with God that We can hope to rescue others from the god of this world. First we see Lot pitch- 'lng his tent toward Sodom. and then we see him dwelling in Sodom (xiii. 12: xiv. 12). Later we shall find him a ruler in Sodom. sitting in the gate- getting on in the world. in the end of chapter xiv we have a wonderful record of a most remarkable man. a king and a priest. type of the Lord Jesus Christ when He shall be a ‘ priest upon His throne, a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek (Z8011. Tvi. 13; P8. ex, 4). Here we have for {the first time the title “the Most Hist iGod. possessor of heaven and earth." 5and because Abram was blessed by ! Him he was able to turn his back upon “he tempting ofl’er of the king of 80- ; dom concerning the goods. If the church .today knew the Most High God and iHis blessing she would never be guilty got seeking the goods or Sodom to help her carry on her work.

J .-"-v â€"â€"â€" Taking it all round, the British forces have usually had the best commissariat. So long ago as the days of Good Queen Bess, the al- lowance tor a foot soldier was two pounds of bread daily, a ound of meat or cheese, and two ottles of beer or one of wine to wash it down. It is to be feared that they did not always get it, for the provi- ent-master was not always as honest as his successors of the army service corps. It was Wel- lington who really brought our commissariat up to standard. He got the great Soyer himself out of the Peninsula to draw up means for armies in the field. To-day our men are allowed each three-quarters of a pound of meat daily, and it is eked out with vegetables and pudding. The meat is generally cooked up into sea pie, or toad-in-the-hole, or some similar dish. Each man gets a ration of tea or coffee. with sugar and salt and other condiments. Provisioning is easily enough managed while a regiment lies in barracks. On the march, it is a. very difficult matter, and requires the most perfect organization to manage satisfactorily. The regimental transport of an infantry regiment in the field can- not be cut down below eleven ve- hicles. These include one machine gun, four ammunition carts, one Maltese cart for medical stores, one baggage wagon, one store wagon, and one supply wagon. These require 34 h'o'rs'es an drivers. A cavalry regiment needs more. Its train is 14 vehicles, with 51 horses and 23 drivers. Neither of these estimates allows for tents. nor for reserve rations. Our army service corps came in- to being in 1870, replacing the faulty and futile civil commissar- iat and military train, which hsul made such an awful hash of mat- ters in the Crimea. The much train, Tommy calls the splendid body of men who look after gear and grub. Muck, it may be men- tioned, is merely a corruption of moke, or mule. _ The muck train rank as combat- ants, but, of course are much too valuable to be placed in the fight- ng line, except in dire necessih. They are about 5000 strong. “ith a large reserve, and are di\idui into 38 companies. To each four battalions of troops‘ is attached one company of the army service corps. The officers have to collect and receive alla foodstuffsâ€"bread. meat veget-r ables, groceries and forageâ€"and account for the same. replenishing reserves as they become exhaust- ed. They have in charge all the miscellaneous implements for the killing and dressing of meat by the regimental butchers, and among their numerous duties are to provide transport for the bear- er company and to give effect to the wishes of the principal medical officers.
