LOOKED REAL, ANYHOW
She was a painter In water-colors
and very proud of her work; also
her complexion was the envy of her
acquaintances.
At a party one night she sat next
to a shy, awkward young man, who
cudgelled his brains to find something
to say.
She tried to open conversation
with him. With becoming modesty
she said: “I expect you have heard
that I paint?”
“Yes,” he replied gallantly, look
ing at her face. “But I don't believe
it!”
Correct?
Captain—What would you do if I
walked by at night when you were
on guard duty and you called “Halt”
three times and I kept going?
Rookie—l'd call the corporal of

Rookie—To haul away your dead
body, sir!

ISAAC’S TESTIMONY TO GOD
LESSON TEXT—Genesis 26:19-3:!.
GOLDEN TEXT—Blessed be the Lord
Cod. the God of Israel, who only doeth won
drous things.—Psalm 7218.
A man of peace in a wartorn world i
may seem to be a bit out of place,
but be assuredly is not if the peace
he has and promotes is the peace of
God. i
Our world has seen anew a dem
onstration of the awful results of the
philosophy that might makes right.
Violence and bloodshed have been
man’s way of asserting his supposed ;
or assumed rights. One could hope
that we are now ready to recognize
that we need a new viewpoint, that
patience and meekness are not j j
weakness, that kindness and love are 1
Christian virtues worth emulating
and cultivating.
That result can come only if men
will recognize Christ as the King of
their lives and nations will receive
His Word as their law. Let us pro
claim His truth and the gospel of
His grace anew, and win all we can
to Him.
Isaac was a man of peace. He
was a rather ordinary man, one of
the common people, but his life is
both interesting and instructive. He
had come through varied experi
ences of victory and defeat before j
the time of our lesson. Fearing a
famine, and apparently not trust
ing God at the moment, he had gone
down from the promised land to the
country of the Philistines, there re
digging the wells which his father
Abraham had dug. The result was
that he prospered. Ere long, how
ever, envy on the part of his ene- l
rnios taught Isaac that one may ex- j
pect
I. Strife in the World (vv. 19-21).
Isaac had prospered, but he was
still out of the promised land, and !
while ho was in the land of Philis
tines he could expect no permanent
peace.
We are in tfce world. We long for
peace, and would throw all our in
fluence and service into the cause
of bringing a righteous peace to the
troubled peoples of the world. But '
let us not be misled by that desire !
into the support of unscriptural and
impossible peace programs. This |
world is a sinful world, and as long
as that is true, therj will be strife
and war.
Our business in such a world is j
to preach the gospel of grace, win- j
hing men to Christ, that tney may’ j
become men of good will. Isaac was I
such a man, willing to yield even !
what seemed to be his right, rather j
than cause contention.
Undoubtedly there are times when
one must defend his name and his
possessions, but all too often those
who do “stand for their rights" have
wrecked homes, churches, and na
tions, and have gained nothing but j
an empty victory.
The pence of this world is tem
porary. Is there then no real abid
ing peace and joy?
11. Joy in God’s Fellowship (vv.
22-25).
When Isaac came up into Canaan,
the land which God had promised to
him, he found real peace and an
abiding joy in renewed fellowship
with God. Even so, the Christian
man and woman who will step out
of a spiritually destructive fellow
ship with the ungodly world and
come over wholeheartedly into the
spiritual Canaan of full consecration
and separate living, will find true
peace and satisfying communion
with God.
111. Testimony in Right Living (vv.
26-31).
These men were wi>ked men, oven
speaking falsehood in their claim
of friendship toward Isaac (v. 29).
Now that they perceived that God
was continually blessing Isaac in |
spite of their repeated injustice to- I
ward him, they decided it would be ■
well to make a covenant of friend- j
ship with him. Even those who fol- !
low the way of war and aggression
cannot deny the effectiveness of true '
Christian testimony.
Observe also that by his patience .
and kindness, Isaac ultimately made
friends out of his enemies. “It is
better to turn enemies into friends
than to beat them, and have them
enemies still.” And so this man
with the patient, self-sacrificing
spirit brought peace not only to him
, self, but to those about him, because
; he believed and trusted God. “When
1 a man’s ways please tire Lord, he
maketh even his enemies to be at
I peace with him" (Prov. 16:7).
IV. Blessing in Service (vv. 32,
33).
The thing to do when the selfish
ness of others is about to cause
strife is to go and “dig another
well.” If we will do that, we will
find that God has been there ahead
of us and prepared a rich flow of
fresh water with which we may re
fresh and encourage ourselves.
Isaac’s men said, “We have found
water,” and he then named the
place Bcersheba, which means “the
well of the oath,” referring undoubt
edly to God’s fulfilled promise to
bless him. He had found the way
of peace, fellowship and blessing.
I because he had gone God’s wajv
