Popular BIBLE CLASS Notes THE BOOK OF GENESIS By J. W. SMITH War. Chapter 14. This chapter tains a brief history of the first j^torded in the annals of the tee. It was, like every other taused by pride, covetousness, , - -asping ambition. Countless v /have been sacrificed on the altar these abominable idols. War, - one of the horrible results of Fall, increases, misery, lust, and vengeance. The talent of se, the wealth of the rich, and ight of the strong cannot ; rmanent peace to this bleeding sin-torn world. What force force must hold. Not until the 1 ns seek the Lord, value His ji worship, keep His law, and :i His paths will universal peace ► asperity be assured. Micah. 4: X h I. order The Combative to have free Kings. and Vss. ■ pted trades with Egypt, four ;f the East, including their leader, came to the Jordan e y, subdued its five rulers, and :1 them to pay tribute. They continu • J to be tributaries twelve years, at t e end of which time they rebelled against their conquerors. In the four¬ teenth year their former masters re¬ appeared, fought against them, and put them to flight. The weak fell j the battlefield, the swift fled to '.he mountains, and those that re¬ mained were carried into captivity "With their goods and victuals. We have reasons to believe that slavery ad its origin in those days when . < n and women were stolen and tak into captivity. Note here also the ‘ ginning of the fulfillment of Noah’s Li ophecy, “Cursed be Canaan; a ; vant of servants shall he be unto ■: ' brethren.” 2. The Helpless Captive. Vs. 12. '‘And they took Lot, Abram’s broth ■ei’s son, who dwelt in Sodom, and his goods, and departed.” Loc found out , what every worldly man will fir I out • oner or later, that thieves will car : off the treasures laid up on earth. Matt. 6 : 19. The goods which had *: -asioned his separation from Ab r n are now in the hands of his ene¬ mies. He had part with the wicked S lomites in their prosperity, now he must share in their adversity. 3. The Escaped Prisoner. Vs. 13. “And there came one that had es¬ caped, and told Abram the Hebrew.” This escaped man who, very likely, -v, ;.s a wicked Sodomite, turned to ■ Abram, the man of God, in time of tr -uble. Many people who are living ' in sin today, without respect for God, ■ His law, and His worship, will look • the humble followers of Christ for s ritual help in the hour of trouble ,a"d death. 4. The Faithful Friend. Vss. 14-16. "When Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he, forgetting past differences, pursued the enemy unto Dan, a distance of 120 miles, smote them on the right and on the left, brought back his brother, Lot, all tne goods, and all the people. As far :a^ we know this was the only mili tary expedition in which Abram was •engaged. In the previous chapter we see his humility; in this chapter we see his courage. It was by faith in Cod he conquered the united armies i of the four kings. It was a miracu¬ lous victory which foreshadowed the conquests of his children centuries afterwards under the leadership of Joshua. 5. The Defeated Ruler. Vss. 17, 21-24. “The King of Sodom said un it Abram, ‘Give me the persons, and take the goods to thyself.’ ” Accord¬ ing to Eastern usage all property re¬ covered belonged to the person by -whom it was recaptured, while the prisoners were allowed to return to their former condition. This shows that King Bera offered to Abram •or) iy what was his by custom, and that he is not entitled to the generosity -with which he is sometimes credited. * the other hand we see the exalted Xtfact Jf of Abram in refusing to take the smallest thing from the King ^Tsodom. While he declines to accept anything for himself, he does not prevent those who were with him do receive their share of the spoil. Before he met, or in the presence of, the King of Sodom, Abram took a solemn oath that he would not touch the goods of the wicked people, by •vvhich he built a wall of defence around himself to protect him against the temptation of the ungodly. He -was determined that he would have r>o political relationship with the sin . jters of the vale of Siddim. The -round of his refusal was good: “Lest thou shouldest say, I have made Ab :; ; m rich.” This reason implies—(1) His implicit faith in God. (2) His utter dependence upon God. (3) His r-oble desire for the things of God. 6. The Unique Personage. Vss. 20. Who was Melchizedek? scholars believe he was a ish prince of the posterity of who maintained the true and pure worship of the living He was raised by God, and in an traordinary way called to the office of king and priest. He was like the Aaronic priests because had no successor; and was, fore, a type of the exalted Christ the Fathers right hand in the uation of His priesthood. We are told that Abram gave chizedek “tithes of all.” This that the principle of tithing back to the days of Abram, and, sibly, to the time of Adam. the rule of tithing preceded the saic law, there is no reason to its claim upon Christians in the pensation of grace. If every er of Jesus Christ gave “as God prospered him,’’ it would be sary to call on those who are still the kingdom of Satan for assistance to help disseminate Gospel of salvation. As a rule saved contributors hope to win en by their giving and not by grace. We learn from this portion God’s word that—( 1 ) The power the sword can never unite hearts. ( 2 We are to be ever ready to help brother in distress. (3) The best to help the world is to be from it. (4) A small army with in God is never defeated. (5) is kind to the righteous and eous. ( 6 ) A Christian should accept from the world anything would bring dishonor to Christ. Vows made to God should be ( 8 ) We are to consecrate our ly goods to Christ’s service.

AND LOOK YOUNG Nobody Can Tell When You Darken Gray, Faded Hair With Sage Tea Grandmother kept her hair beauti¬ fully darkened, glossy and attractive with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this sim¬ ple mixture was applied with wonder¬ ful effect.

By morning the gray hair disappears; af¬ ter another application or two, it is re¬ stored to its natural color and looks glossy, soft and beautifuL The result will be a saving of about 2.5 milliamperes in your plate cur¬ rent without loss ot signal strength. If you add a C battery there will be a still greater reduction in plate current. It will fall to about 5 or 0 milliamperes and that means in your case ten dollars a year less for B batteries.” To substantiate the statement, measurements were made at the Everoady Laboratories at Long Island City, and on that set, which was three tube receiver, the plate current had fallen from 13.5 milli¬ amperes to 11.0. The addition of a C battery of 414 volts further re¬ duced the plate current to but 5.5 milliamperes. A lot of little children came pass at the end of the school and a lot of others flunk.
