too bad Indeed, and we simply can
do it and have the mlud of Goil. Tii
weakness and wickedness of ulan ui-
Weu In Abraham's sinning again I
cause he gave way to thoughts an
fears (xx, 11). The birth of
when his father Abraham was I
years old, the casting out of liag.tr
aud lshuiael, the augel's care of II
gar and the uew name of God. tli ■
everlasting God (Ei-olain), are found in
xxi. Chapter x.\ii gives lis the mc.xt
wonderful picture in the whole B:;
of the father offering up his only
son, the father carrying the Are am
the knife, mid the boy carrying ti:
wood and asking. "Where is the lamb
for a burnt offering';" Abraham n
ceiving Isaac back from the dead in a
figure (Ileb. xl, 19) ou I he third da.
and on Mou.it Morlah, where the ou
dutton of Solomon's temple was ulle
ward laid; the ram offered in Isaac's
stead, the new name of the place (.!•
hovah .llreh. the Lord will see or p:v
vide). The union of the two previou.
i separate promises concerning the see
as the sand and as the stars aud many
oliier wonders of grace and glor.
make us sorry lo pass such u eliaptc
Chapter xxiil tells of the death >1
Sarah, the purchase of the cave o
Machpelah aud her burial there at
Hebrou. In chapter xxiv we have
such a fascinating foreshadowing of
the Holy Spirit telling of the riches
of the Father who gave all His weali'i
to His only Sou that He may obtai;
a bride for that Son. Chapter
tells of the death of Abraham and hii
burial by Isaac and lshmael in tb"
cave of Machpelah, the birth of Jaet
aud Esau aud how the latter sold his
birthright for a mess of pottage.
Our lesson chapter opens with Ismi
sojourning with the Philistines in-
stead of at the well of Him thai live!
and seeth (Gen. xvi, 11, margin: x.\'\
11) because of a famine in the land.
The Lord blessed him there and con-
firmed the promise to Abraham of a
blessing to all nations aud gave him
the star end of the promise, the dust
of the earth or sand portion being aft
envard given to Jacob (xxvlii, 111.
We find Isaac falling into his father's
sin of calling his wife his sister, l^t
he should be killed for her sake, am!,
as In his father's ease, reproved by a
heathen klne Yet God l"-re with His
erring child and eared for him and
blessed .Um for His own name's sal;
In spite of Ills sin. "If we believe not.
He abidetli faithful. He cannot d '
Himself (II Tim. II. 13). The in
changeable faithfulness of God is oer
only resting place (Mai. 1. 2: III.
In verse 3 we hear God saying to h:
"I will be with thee and will bl
thee," and l'i T rso 12 we read. A:
the Lord hletse ; " and 1 !i -
two verses tell so. thing of r
tent of the blessing The v Is i
that can compare with the bio:
t.ie Ixird which niaketh rich i
which our toil can add nothing i!'
I, 22, B. V.). In Isaac's ease i: ir .
a hundredfold, but in Israel t'l 
lse was that If they kepi the N-bl-i
year the ground would give r. tii
years' harvest in the si::t!i y •'
xxv, 20. 211. The itl< «*|MK upon t'
lad's five loaves multiplied t <■ i
flelently to feed peril tip* I'M ' 1 p'*>
and what about the draft of lisli ■
Luke v and John xxi after the ;.ig':'
of fruitless toil? Is not Ilis bless:
everything? But It will always i;
voke envy and opposition and eve:,
persecution, as in verses 14 and IS
This we are taught te ex[iect for Ills
sake (John xv, 18-21; xvl, 1-3), and 1'
■we receive it lu a proper spirit He will
tie magnified.
Where we are not wanted it Is uol
wise to stay, so Isaac, being request
ed te move on, did so (verses 1G and
17). and he evidently did se very meek
ly, without any arguing  r talking
bock. James and John would have
burned up a town on one occasion if
they had been permitted, because nei
ther they nor '.heir Master was want
ed In that town (Luke Ix, 52-5(1).
Isaac began to reopen his father's
wells, which the Philistines had stop-
ped and filled with earth after tile
death of Abraham, but as fast as lie
reopened them the Philistines claimed
them, and he, without strife, yielded
the first two. It Is nol rfhr way, as a
rule, to take such Injustice meekly.
Much trouble has often come from less
provocation. Isaac meekly reopened
a third, and they did not claim that,
•o he said. "Now there Is room for us
All." But who of us would have act
ed so? We next flud him at Beer
eheba (the well of the oath), and the
Lord appeared to him the second time,
saying, "Fear not, for I am with thee
and will bless thee" (verses ii, 2Si.
There he built an altar and worshiped,
aud his servants dug another -yell.
Now note the sequel to his yielding
the wells. Those who had driven
him away from them came tc Tihfl. de
siring to make a covenant wkv him.
They come with a lot of talk that does
not sound true (29). but Isaac does not
notice It, and we better not. But wha
■We do notice Is their testimony to God
as seen in Isaac—"We saw certaim.,
•toot the Lord was with thee" (2*
flow much are we willing to bear that
God may be seen in us? The same day
that Isaac received these men kindly
his servant* brought him word that they
b*d found water. Is there not a «ou
section?

The Duncan Banner has the foilow-

A real estate deal of considerable
magnitude has ba?n eonsumuted, by
which K. M Head, of, Lawton become
the owner of th? J. G. Miller tract of
land adjoining the town on the souih

acres and lhcon.sidorat.ion wis $11,-

000 four years ago.
Surveyors are at work platting the
land and cutting it up into 50 foot lo:a

This is the largest real estate deal
