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,
