LESSON FOR OCTOBER 7
ABRAHAM, A BLESSING TO THE
WORLD
I.ESSON TEXT—Gen. 12:1-3; 18:
17-18; 22:15-18.
GOLDEN TEXT—"In Thee shall all
families of the earth be blessed.
Gen. 12:3.
PRIMARY TOPIC—Being a Blessing
to Others.
JUNIOR TOPIC—A Man Who Became
ft Blessing to the World.
INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP
IC—Abraham, a Religious Pioneer.
YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC
—Abraham, a Religious Pioneer.
I. Abraham’s Ancestors (Josh. 24:2,
14.
Abraham’s people were idolaters.
Very likely as a young mnn, he himself
worshiped idols. Tradition furnishes us
with some interesting stories touching
his struggle against idolatry. At any
rate, his experience was such as hr> well
qualify him to be the head of a people
whose God was the Lord. He knew how
hopelessly disastrous idolatry was to
the morals of the people, and, there
fore, would be able to lead them back
to God.
IJ. Abraham’s Call (Gen. 12:1.
cf. Acts 7:2-3).
God came to him in Ur of the Chal
dees and said unto him:
1. “Get thee out of thy country.”
One is tied to ids country with a
stronfe bond. Abraham had lived long
enough to have formed strong attach
ments to his country.
2. “Get thee out from thy kindred.”
Abraham was not only to leave be
hind him his native land, but ids rela
tives ns well, even ids father’s house.
Since ids kindred were idolaters, lie
must leave them. .Abraham was to
become a pilgrim, to be without a
borne. Even in Canaan, the only land
be ever owned, was a burial place.
3. “Into the land that I will show
thee.” He was not told what or where
tiie land was. He went out not know
ing whither he went (Heb. 11:8).
While 1 lie dwelt in tents during ids
earthly sojourn, yet “tie looked for a
city which hath foundations whose
builder and maker is God” (Heb.
8:10). And thus he was a typical be
liever called out from Ids family and
country, nnd renouncing idolatry, he
walked by faith, testifying to his anil
succeeding generations to the faithful
ness of God. It costs to obey God, but
there is an abundant recompense.
III. God's Promise to Abraham
(Gen. 12:2-3; 18:17-18).
1. The Father of a Great Posterity
{v. 2). Tills has been literally fulfilled,
lie was not to go out primarily for
what lie could get, but for what he
could do. The minister and mission
ary forget their own personal bless
ings In the supreme joy of their con
verts who are the fruits of their labor.
No name In all history equals that of
Abraham in its honorable influence.
His is tiie name of honor among Jews,
Mohammedans and Christians. They
nil acknowledge him ns father.
2. A Blessing to Others (vv. 2, 3).
He was not only to become great nnd
to share God’s blessings, but to be a
blessing to others. He has become a
blessing to countless multitudes. This
is the prevailing law of the spiritual
life—being blessed to be a blessing.
Those who respond to this law become
tiie very touchstone of God, so precious
that God will bless them who bless
them, and curse those who curse them.
God makes common cause with His
people. So vitally is He one with
them that it is a serious thing to mis
treat them. To maltreat God’s chil
dren is to lift the hand against God.
No one who goes against Him can
prosper. Not only is this so with ref
erence to wilful acts against His chil
dren, but neglect or refusal to do good
to them. Christ regards *11 acts for
or against them as for or against
Him.
IV. God Testing Abraham (Gen.
22:2-18).
Abraham’s faith was shown in that
he obeyed the call of God and left his
land and kindred, but his faith
reached , its highest point in offering
Isaac. For many years, lie had waited
for the fulfillment of God’s promise as
to his heir. At last that promise was
a reality. Abraham’s hope was not the
ordinary hope which fills the heart of
every father, that his name and work
may be perpetuated through his son.
A new nation and the world's Savior
were to spring up from Abraham
through this son. Through this great
ordeal, his faith responded enabling
him to believe that God would give
Isaac back from the dead (Heb.
11:17-19). God tries all His children.
The more important, tiie more severe
the trial.

Housework is hard enough when
healthy. Every Thomson woman
who is having backache, blue and
nervous, spells, dizzy headaches and
kidney or bladder troubles, should
be glad to heed this Thomson experi
ence:
Mrs. J. R. Mounce, 307 White Oak
St., says: “My feet were swollen
and I was in a bad state with kidney
trouble. My back got to hurting and
it was hard for me to get about. I
had pains on the top of my head ex
tending down the back of my neck.
This made me sick all over. My
kidneys didn’t act right at all. I
tried Doan’s Kidney Pills and after
using a box my trouble disappeared,
and I felt better generally.”
The above statement was given
March 19th, 1918, and on February
16th, 1923, Mrs. Moufice said: “I

and they are always sure to relieve

Nervous Break-Down
M RS. ANNIE LANGE, of
R. F. D. 1, Burlington, Tex.,
writes as follows regarding
her experience withCardui: “Some
time ago I had a nervous break
down of some kind. .. I was very
weak and so nervous. I had faint
ing spells and suffered a grer* >'
but more from the wer ' , ucmbly,
no-account feeling tha;; anything
else. I knew I needed a tonic, end
needed it badly. I began U.„ use
of Cardui to see if I couldn’t get
some strength, as I knew of other
cases that had been helped by its
use. I soon saw a great improve
ment, so I kept it up. I used seven
bottles of Cardui, and can say the
money was well spent, for I grew
well and strong. Am now able to
do all my housework and a great
d""l of work besides.”
\i you are weak, run-down,
nervous and suffer from the ail
ments peculiar to women, it Is
very likely that Cardui will help
you, in the way it helped Mrs.
Lange and has helped thousands
of others, during the past 40 years.
Ask for, and insist on, Cardui.
