[Written for the Pliila. Evening Bulletin J SABBATH READINGS. *Y THE BEV. EDWABD 0. JONES, A. X. LOT’S DISPUTE WITH ABRAHAM. In the early ages of the world the wealth of men was generally restricted to flocks and herds. Such was the wealth of Lot and Abraham. They had been sojourning for some time in Egypt at a period of famine, and in that granary of the world had en joyed an abundant store, and departing thence they journeyed together towards Jihe old residence in the land of the Philistines. We have said they were both affluent. Indeed their combined wealth must have been, for those days, absolutely unpre cedented. The household retinue of each 'was very numerous and over that family they swayed j the sceptre of empire in ex alted patriarchal simplicity. If was the j -elemental form'of government,where a filial love, was the ground of subordination. And how sweet is the picture of Abraham .keeping beneath his wing that orphan relative. Like streams with parallel cur rents! and whose waves kept common time, theirexistence had no separate aspect, Family ties are not now so sacred. There is a divergence now from union and from unity, most vividly contrasting with the harmony of the olden times. Nowhere do the open fires of rancor, or the fitful flames: of a prudently- smothered animosity develop themselves so much as in the family relationships of the present day. There is not that building up of interests upon the broad basis of a common derivation which marked the early Hebrew history. Families now lie in disjointed fragments, or are loosely attached by the tie of conventional decoruin. But man in no epoch is perfect. In the base even of Lot and Abraham,over grown possessions laid the foundation for a sunderinglpf interests, or if not that, for divergency of path in life. So immense had becomedhe stock of the Eastern patriarchs that they could not dwell together. The land through which they passed was com pletely i overshadowed with their gigantic possessions, and,as is often the case, a spirit of rivalry grew up between their respective adherents—the herdsmen. In mingling .together they probably began to draw com parisons between their masters, and this led to an assumption of authority of each, and a sustained effort to overreach each other. Petty intrigues soon followed and the disputes . took so tangible a shape that Abraham with his keen eye observed it, and conervsing with Lot, he deprecated its continuance. Indeed, there is something in the expression employed by Abraham, “ Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee,” which would seem to imply that Lot had fairly caught the spirit of disaffection and was now abet ting his numerous retainers in the strife on which they had entered. Cognizant of. the fact as Abraham appears to have been, he does not upbraid his relative. If our nature may betray anger allowably, it must be when we find the dagger drawn by a hand we have often clasped in love. But here Abraham shines out as an example of phi losophic calmness. Thereds a repose in the features of his spirit, in the case before us, strikingly in keeping with that impertur bable temperament which'has ever marked the child of fhe American forest. He stood tranquil as the picture of discontent un folded all its covering. He had learned to possess his soul in patience. He had Builded that breakwater of composure which threw back again the surging waves of passion. Hence he simply expostulates with Lot. There is no crimination, there is no charge and countercharge of accusation till the conflict ends in open rupture. “We be brethren” says the good old man to his im petuous nephew. And if we be brethren, then away with distrust and rivalry. If we be brethren, then away with secret collu sions and leagues in the dark against what has ever been a common interest. Rather let us separate and settle in opposite points. Is not'the whole land before thee? If thou wilt take the left.hand then l will go to the right, or if thou depart to the right hand then I will go to the left. This proposal left the whole field of selection for Lot, without any proviso or limit. It was an offer un fenced by selfish restrictions; for true great ness is never very tenacious of its own in terests. It is nof so sordid as to open up avenjies of personal aggrandizement and hermetically seal the chances of its fellows. Of Jesus it is said most trulv and feelingly, “He pleased not himself” Not in his ’ nature was it to consult his own advantage , or profit. And long before he suffered on the cross he had bound himself to- the great altar of human service, and merged himself m the ocean of oblivion. Acceding to his . uncle s proposal, Lot chose the well-watered plain of Jordan. Alas ! he knew not that the malaria of spiritual death canopied the spot, and that the hour would come when he would regret the ■ selection of a spot so avariciously appropriated to his residence, T S T>^ -he Spotted Fever.—We learn,' from a gentleman who has spent several days in •Luzerne county, Pa., some interesting parti culars concerning the epidemic, popularly known as the “spotted fever, 53 which has caused such havoc In that region.
