much American and something
that can be justified—not that

fact that we are living today
and tomorrow is our guide. Their
deeds have become a memory
but let them remain so—we are
too deeply concerned today and
the protection of American lives
reaches far more deeply than

only their furniture wouldn’t fit
in.
He was sorry for Lucy. She
had had to live a
house before * found her. But
the tides had changed, and aft-
er they were married, they had
lived in a stuffy rooming house,
where the walls were alive with
rats. When Lucy’s friends
come to see them, they had
whispered to each other and
stolen sidelong glances at the
house. After they had gone,
Lucy would have a hurt express-
i ion on her face. She hahd never
complained, but Tim had seen
what was in her face.
So they had saved for three
years and now since they
found a home, Tim was disgust-
ed with himself for not having I
a better job. |
They went up the walk and
tried the door. It was unlocked.
As they opened the door, Lucy
gave a squeal of delight and ■
hugged her husband.
It was furnished! Tim could
hardly believe it! -
The living room was furnished
in blue and cream. The short ,
drapes hung perfectly. Vines
were growing on each side of the
tile fireplace. A large, square
mirror hung above the blue sofa.
A blue and white lounge chair
stood between the doorway and
windows. A bookcase and white
leather occasional chair com¬
pleted the furnishings.
“Tim! Tim! I can’t believe it!”
Lucy ran into the kitchen. Com¬
pact, red and white, it was just
what Lucy needed to take her
mind off the war and their
troubles.
The bedroom was furnished in
old rose—the bathroom in green
and white tile.

AND ABEL; A CONTRAST
Genesis 4
In Cain and Abel we have two
distinct types. The first was the
type of the worldling who loves
and ease and indulgence,
but is willing to go through the
formalities of piety provided
do not defy his will or
the grain of his nature. In
second we have the type of
the truly pious man who is con¬
of his sin, believes sin¬
in God, and approaches
in the way that He has
prescribed. Thus the forces of
good and evil have become in¬
grained in the race and will re¬
main in perpetual contrast until
evil is finally overthrown.
Abel Was First Martyr
Abel was the younger son ot
the first parents, cradled in the
earliset home just outside Eden,
and taught at least the rudi¬
ments of righteousness by par¬
ents who had met and talked
with God face to face. He was
given the significant name of
Abel, which means “vapor.” It
was possibly prophetic of his
brief career vanishing so early
from the earth. Perhaps taught
by his father he became a shep¬
herd. It required an outdoor life,
put him in close tuoch with na-
tue, and occupied him with one
°J „ the honorable , callings of life
He was no doubt faithful and
successful f , in his trade. | Seven
lme s Abel is spoken of as the
brother u of Cain 11 a PP ears that
he fulfilled his P art of a be¬
er ’ s duty ^Wer than Cain.
There is, therefore, all the more
pathos in the sequel. Conform¬
ing to instruction received from
the Lord, doubtless through Ad¬
am, he established the altar of
wors ip - The ofei og he bl cu! ? bt
to ay upon waG l * nged v '- ta
atonmg blood - revealing Abel’s
confesion of sin and his faith
Moreover he brought

and he P Iaced on the altar the

other way - bufc clearly evident
to the worshiper. Note that God
had res P ect not merely to the
°^ erin K. but unto Abel and to
his offering.” That is, the quali¬
ty of the worship depended up¬
on the qualifications of the wor¬
shiper. It was, therefore, not the
offering on the altar, but the
offerer beside the altar who won
the blessing from above.
Cain Was First Murderer
Alas, that a worshiper in a
heavenly place should be the
target of hate. Cain, filled with
anger and jealouhy, talked with
Abel—his anger growing hotter
under the calm words and per¬
haps gentle remonstrance of his
righteous brother. Intenser grew
the temptation of evil within
Cain as he led his brother from
the place of worship out into
an open field into some secluded
corner of his own broad acres or
his brother's pastures. And here
in towering rage he raised his
hand against his brother, struck
him down dead upon the spot,
and became the first red-hand-
ed murderer of the world. But
Abel did not live in vain. His
career has been told by
millions of firesides adown the
ages and multitudes have been
inspired by his example to offer
the “more excellent sacrifice.”
Cain’s ancestry was the same
as that of Abel. At his birth his
mother gave him a name ex¬
pressive of her feelings. She
called him Cain, which means
acquired, and declared; “I have
begotten a man with the help of
the Lord.” Possibly her idea was
that he was to be her greater
son who was to bruise the ser¬
pent’s head. If so, how great
must have been her disappoint¬
ments later!

God a more excellent sacrifice

He: “Now that we are mar¬
ried, perhaps I might venture to
point out a few of your little
defects.”
She: “Don’t bother, dear; I
am quite aware of them. It was
those little defects that per-
vented me from getting a much
better man than you are.”
“How’s your new girl?”
“Not very good.”
“You always were lucky.”
In a certain western town a
beautiful chorus girl sued a
rich banker for breach of prom¬
ise and was awarded $50,000.
Just as she was leaving the court
she was hit by an automobile
and sustained eight broken ribs.
The same judge awarded her
$500.
Moral: Never break a woman’s
heart—break her ribs.

had witness borne to him that
he was righteous.” —Hebrews
11:4.
The sacrifice of Cain was evi¬
dently insincere and inadequate.
He was willing to go through
the form of worship. He brought
an offering simply as the proper
thing to do. He even laid it be¬
fore the Lord’in a formal man¬
ner. But his heart was not in
the act. And the act was incom¬
plete being bloodless; hence not
symbolical of the atoning blood
of Christ.
The sacrifice of Abel was an
act of faith. He believed in God.
He obeyed God. He sacrificed his
very best—the firstlings of the
flock. He offered “unto God” not
only his sheep in dead sacrifice
but himself as a living sacrifice.
It was thus shown and seen and
said that “he was righteous” in
conduct and character because
of his faith in the promised Re¬
deemer.
