The saving of waste fats seems
like a dull and uneventful way
of participating in the war ei
fort. Notwithstanding this it is
still necessary. Fats are used to
make glycerine and give- rine is
used in explosives and in medi
cines. There has been r.o let
down in the amount of tins re
quired and there will not be nn
til the war is finally over. A« lit
tle as a few ounces a week from
each family adds up to an im
posing total the nation ov t. It
is important now as it ever was
to save waste fats.
SAFETY SLOGANS

It is good to start the day safe- j

ISAAC S HERITAGE
LESSON TEXT—Gencsl* 24:10, 15-20, 54-
36, 61-67.
GOLDEN TEXT—I have a goodly heritage.
—Psalm 16:6.
The ordinary things of life become
extraordinary when we recognize in
them the outworking of the plan of
God. Our lesson presents one of his
tory’s sweetest love stories. It would
be worth reading just for that
reason, but it is also the accdunt of
God’s hand in the carrying forward
of His promised blessing on the seed
of Abraham.
For a long lime it seemed that
there could be no fulfillment at all,
for Sarah and Abraham had no
child. Then by a miracle, God gave
them a beloved son.
Isaac’s remarkable deliverance in
the hour when it looked as though
he might be taken from his father
(Gen. 22:10-12) was like bringing
back one who was fyad (Heb. 11:18,
19).
He grew into manhood, and Abra
ham, good father and faithful ser
vant of the Lord, determined that
his son must have a godly wife. So
in accordance with Oriental custom
he sent a most trusted servant back
to their homeland to choose a bride
from their own kindred.
The altogether charming story un-
I folds in our lesson as we see
I. A Faithful Servant (v. 10).
Full instructions from Abraham
and an oath that he would not
take a bride for Isaac from among:
the Canaanites, prepared the servant j
for his journey. Taking with him a
goodly caravan and rich presents
from his master, he set out on his
journey.
There is much to learn here about
the need of parental concern, and
their interested action in helping,
young people to find the right mate.;
We see the importance of avoiding
“mixed” marriages, especially,
those between a believer and an un
believer.
W« see the need of constant de
pendence on God, for only He has,
the wisdom and the knowledge of
human hearts which can properly
join two lives together. In our day
when marriage is so carelessly and
casually contracted, these mat
ters need special emphasis.
11. A Fair Damsel (vv. 15-20).
To be good to look upon is cer
tainly a desirable thing in a wom
an, but it has been far too much
exploited in our day. Notice that
while Rebekah was very fair, she
also had those qualities of character
and of experience which prepared
her to be a good wife for Isaac.
She was kind and willing to serve;
not only did she offer water to the
i servant of Abraham, but promptly
{-watered his camels. Such an atti-
I lude of heart and mind is a great
i asset to a woman in marriage.
She was instructed in the domestic
arts. The fact that she had come to
draw water indicated that, and her
ability to draw the water showed
1 that she had experienced the
1 duties of woman in the household.
I Here is wise counsel for the young
man who is interested in marriage,
and for his parents as they guide
him. Let him look for the girl with
j the fair countenance if he will, but
[ let him be sure that there is some
: thing really worthwhile behind the
pretty face.
No woman, no matter how exten
sive her culture or how rich her
family, is ready for marriage until
she knows something of the re
sponsibilities of family life and has
a will to do what she can for the
care and comfort of others.
111. An Honorable Proposal (vv.
34-36).
Abraham’s trusted man, perceiv
ing that God had led him to the one
of His choice, at once stated his er
rand. There was no trickery, no
smooth double-talk. This was a
straight-out proposal that Rebekah
come with him to be the bride of
Isaac.
Notice that ho made known his
I master’s financial position, and
I made clear the place Rebekah
would occupy as the wife of Isaac.
That is as it should be. There is a
contractual basis for marriage
which calls for complete candor and
honest dealing.
But there was more here, for Re
bekah ultimately responded to the
dictates of her own heart when she
said, “1 will go” (see v. 58). It was
IV. A Love Marriage (vv. 61-67).
Isaac, meditating in the twilight,
presents a fine picture of a man
spiritually ready to be a good hus
band. He had more to offer than
riches. Let other young men follow
his example.
The tender scene of their meet
ing, and of the love which welled up
in their hearts at first sight of one
i another, needs no comment.
We do need to say that unless
| America gets back to real love mar-
I riages, our nation is destined for dis
aster. Matrimony based on physical
attraction, improper emphasis on
| sex, or on convenience, will never
| be able to meet the stress of mod-
I ern life. Love can and will do it,
! especially where those who thus
i love one another first love God.
