For shall not the Judse of all the earth do right? The story so frankly told in the latâ€" ter part of chap. 12 is not creditable to Abram. It may *ave been that he met again in the populous and hich land of Egypt some of the evils which he had sought to escape when he left Haran The way of cowardice and falsehood did not prove to be the way of safety, and he richly deserved the rebuke of Pharaoh. The true character of the man appears when he returns to Bethel, in his magnanimous treatâ€" ment of Lot. Here he counsels peace irstead of strife and gives the younger man his choice o. the land. Lot made a selfish choice, the plain of Jordanâ€" well watered everyw:ereâ€"even as the garden of the Lord. This was the reâ€" ion north of and surrounding the fhad Sea, pars of which (that near Jericho) was very fertile. The later destruction of the cities of the plain seems to have rendered muach of it barren and desert. Lot‘s selfish choice was his undoing, and the tragedy of it begi.n when he pitched his tent toward Sodom, v. 12. The generosity of Abram was rewarded by a renewal of the diâ€" vine promises, 13: 14â€"17. III. COVENANT AND INTERCESSION, Gen. 17: 1â€"8; 18: 22â€"33.

One can imagine this man in the vigor of comnarative youth, chieftain of a small tribal community, thrilled with this high ambition and hope, leading his followers out on the way to a new country where there would not only be plenty of room for their flocks and terds, but onportunity for a purer worship which would bless the world.

Abram, as he was first named, had ecome originally, with his father, his wife Sarai, and his nephew Lot, from the city of Uron on the lower Euâ€" phrates River, to Haran, an important place more than five Lundred miles to the northâ€"west.

Canada To Be Visited By British Farmers Winnipeg, Man.â€"Under the auspices of the British National Union, a tour of British farmers is to be conducted through Canada toward the end of this summer.

The object of the visit is to enâ€" courage intercourse between the peoâ€" ple of the mother country and their kinsfolk. America has not yet produced a race, or a racial type, or a racial mind, and this factâ€"to be very frank â€"is a guarantee of Great Britain‘s moral supremacy for the next few hundred years, says Mary Borden in Harper‘s Monthly. _ After that, when the population of the United States has added to itselt another hundred million people, Great Britain may have to take second place.

In winter, windowpanes may well be wiped with a handful of tissue paper dipped in ammonia or alcohol, then polished with dry papér. Alcohol not only leaves a sparkling glass, but it also prevents its gatherifig frost as fast as it does otherwise, so the idea is especially applicable to the washing of the windows and the windshield of the car during very cold weather. The wellâ€"known film actress, Miss Janet Gaynor, famous for her perâ€" formance in Seventh Heaven, is fond of telling what may not inaptly be called spoof adventure stories. to the machine, whence it emerges ready for the rest of the windows or for drying. When cloths or chamois are to be used in cleaning windows, it is an excellent plan to wipe the panes first with a wad of dampened paper, that of the tissue toweling type being esâ€" pecially good for the purpose. This removes most of the grime so tha‘! the other cleaning agents do not get soiled so quickly. Some women follow this plan by merely rubbing with a dry piece of old taffeta silk, which leaves the windows bright and clear, Many home makers who use chamois for this purpose do their window washing between times of loading the washing machine on wash day. Instead of tak; ing the time to wash out the chamois, this arrangement does that work for them by merely dropping the skin inâ€" For washing windows, usually nothâ€" irz more than clear warm water is necessary. If the windows are particuâ€" larly grimy, as in the kitchen where there is apt to be a film of grease on the panes, a few drops of ammonia will facilitate the cleaning, some exâ€" perts use a small amount of kerosene instead, because besides cutting the grease it leaves a brilliant luster. Denatured alcohol is also good for cleaning glass. It evaporates rapidly and leaves a briiliant sheen, Although it is most effective when used concenâ€" trated, it need not always be used that way, for a small amount may be added to the wash water just as one would use kerosene or ammonia.
