THE CALL FOB OMR SONS
The International Sunday School Lesson For Octo
ber 20 Is "Abraham Giving Isaac to
God"—Genesis 22:1-14
By WILLIAM T. ELLIS
Secretary Daniels tells of a recent
visit to the Naval Hospital in Brook
lyn, where he saw a returned ma
rine, with one leg shot off. A rela
tive had said to the lad, after hear
ing his enthusiastic account of the
battle. "But it's too bad you lost your
leg."
"I did not lose my leg," responded
the marine, "I gave it."
That is the spirit which makes
great s,ints and great soldiers. It
is the spirit which has wrought mir
acles in our lands at war. Surren
der and sacrifice are the two wings
by which our people have risen to
new altitudes of life. We have en
tered upon the heights of possibili
ties of the human soul, because we
have learned to give up all the
things we prized most, even includ
ing our sons.
This is the mood that makes the
present Lesson of Abraham's gift of
his son Isaac on the altar of sacrifice
on appropriate and timely one. It is
the same mood that sends our sol
diers thronging to the sacrament of
communion in camp and at the
front. I know of boys about to sail
from an embankment camp who ask
ed a Y. M-. C. A. man, shortly be
fore midnight, if they could have a
communion service that night. A
chaplain was awakened, rejoicing at
the opportunity, and he prepared the
"Y" hut for the sacrament. By the
time it was ready, there were hun
dreds of soldiers quietly gathered to
partake of the memorials of the Su
preme Sacrifice, and the service was
Impressive beyond words. By three
o'clock that morning the boys were
aboard ship, bound for France.
When the Sou left Camp
In the same address wherein he
related the incident of the soldier in
the Brooklyn hospital. Secretary
Daniels told another story, which
dealt with what he termed the most
sacred and impressive experience of
his own life. He had gone to Quan
tico, the marines' training camp, the
night before a detachment of five
thousand men were to embark for
France. Long before daybreak the
men were aroused, and a large pro
portion of them assembled 'for a
farewell communion service—shar

of Christ to offer their bodies in life

But why be satisfied with tempo

The head of the American Navy
had no thought at that moment of
his position and authority as the
commander of half a million men,
and of untold ships. All tho pomp
and state and circumstances of his
high office were out of his thought.
As he knelt there in the fellowship
of the sacrament (he did not tell this
part of his experience in public; I
know it from other sources) he was
hut a humble Christian, saved by the
grace of Christ; and a heart-sore fa
ther, parting from his first-born son.
I For among the marines leaving that

j All over the world to-day there are
fathers and mothers sharing the
Abraham experience of offering up
'their sons. There is no parent who
jsees his boy go forth to France who
does not, in his imagination, picture
(him as slain. Our sons are surren

i this hour of holy dedication we

have gained a new preciousness since
tho separations of war.
Sonship meant more to Abraham
than ever before, when he bore Isaac
up to the place of sacrifice—lsaac,
the comely, sweet-spirited, handsome
young man, who had reached the age
of the boys who are now burdening
the bosom of the sea, en route to
France. A new conception of how
much our sons mean to us has come
to the parents who have, unrelue
tantly and loyally, given their boys
to the Hag, and to the Cause which
we profoundly believe is identical
with God's Cause on earth. It seems
as if our sons were first anointed
with the sacramental oil of sanctity
and of holy affection before we laid
them on our Country's altar. Voices
break as we sing, week after week,
"God save our splendid men,
Send them safe home again,
God save our men;
Keep them victorious,
Patient and chivalrous,
They are so dear to us;
God save our men."
I This is the very chrism of our de
jvotion. It seals the quality of our
[ patriotism. Because these boys
1 whom we offer up to God ond our
(Cause are so precious, we thereby
(prove the genuineness of our passion
I for the great ideals. This is with
| our people to-day, as it was with
j Abraham of old, ioyalty to the limit.
I We have not kept back our best from
ithe highest use. God asks our best,
in order that He may give us of His
best.
At the Pinocle of l.il'c
I know a dear old woman who is
an original thinker upon Biblical
themes. Once she asked me, "Did
you ever consider when it was that
Abraham saw Christ's day?" The
, question was only rhetorical, so X
waited. "Well, 1 often have; and it
used to puzzle me. Then, one day,
it all came to me of a sudden, when
I was bonding over the sink washing
the dishes, and thinking about this
matter. It was when Abraham of
fered up Isaac that he saw Christ's
day. He understood the great sacri
ficial love of God, when he took his
only boy up to Mt. Mo'riah, ready to
obey God at any cost. That was the
spirit of Calvary.
And it is a coincidence of inter
est that where' Isaac was offered up,
somewhere near the Jerusalem rock,
there also Christ was offered in real
ity, as well as in intention: He was
both the Son and the Lamb devoted
to sacrifice.
This was the apex of Abraham's
spiritual experience. He achieved
[heights of self-surrender, and of ab
solute devotion to the will of God,
ithat set the divine seal of favor upon
[his character. We come to our high
est when our hearts bow lowest in
submission to God. It was a verif
iable Gethsemane that Abraham un
derwent; arid he emerged like his
[greatest Descendant, obedient to the
Will.
For, obviously, as often, God asked
for Isaac because He wanted Abra
ham. The thing He care about was
the complete and uttermost loyalty
of His servant. He desired to make
sure that Abraham could stand any
test. Once he found that there was
absolutely no reserved room in the
house that His friend Abraham had
made over to him, God relinquished
His claim upon the token He had
indicated. It was because Isaac was
Abraham's dearest possession that
God, who "Will not be king at all un
less He can be king In all," wished
to make sure that the son was in
cluded in the patriarch's loyalty.
A legend of Many Bands
One of the universal beliefs, found
in some form or other among all
primitive peoples, Is that every great
structure needs at its foundation the
sacrifice of a life. I have seen tem
ples and palaces and bridges and
bells, in many foreign lands, of which
stories were told that the king's son
or daughter, or the fairest maiden
in the land, had been entombed In
the foundation, or cast into the mol
ten metal. God has written deeply
in the heart of man this Instinct,
that the best must be sanctified by
sacrifice. Abraham was but working
out a law of the highest life when
he offered his son.
In Abraham's time, human sacri
fice as a religious rite was widely ob
served. To him, the idea that God
should want him to slay his son was
not incongruous, but in perfect ac
cord with the religious ideas of the
surrounding notions. We must re
member that Abraham was only
learning to know Jehovah and His
nature. So when God stayed his
hand, as he lifted the knife to slay
Isaac, a new idea came into the
world. It was that the human sacri
fice is repugnant to the Supreme Us
ing. A new step out of heathen
darkness was taken on the heights
of Mt. Moriah.
I Occasionally, tho records tell of
some demented person who feels that
IGod calls hlnx to emulate Abraham
| and offer up his son's life. Only a
crazy man would get this idea: for
God expressly prevented this act on
Abraham's part. We, who have so
much fuller and clearer knowledge
of the nature of God than was vouch
safed to Abraham in that twilight
time, understand that such an act
vould be sheer and horrible murder.
Any person moved with an Impulse
to slay his child should know
straightway that his brain has
broken down and that ho should
give himself at once into the hands
of the physicians or the police.
It Is the spirit of sacrifice—the
willingness to relinquish our most
cherished possession for the glory of
God—that this lessor, teaches. Loy
alty by the Divine Will, in complete
self surrender, is the message of Mt.
.Moriah, of Gethseinane on the Mt!
|of Olives, of Mt. Calvary, and of the
[world's present Mountain of Trlbu

CHAPTER LIII.
There is a form of excitement that,
in some natures, shows itself In an
unnatural calm.
Such was the excitement that
Elizabeth Wade felt at this junc
ture. Breeding and training had
taught her a self-possession that
would have done credit to a ma
tured woman of the world. Her
histrionic talent also stood her in
good stead now. She told herself
that she had a part to play and
must play it well.
Had she doubted her lover's in
nocence she would have found it
harder to maintain an equable ex
terior. As it was. she stayed her
soul upon the certainty of his guilt
lessness and the knowledge of his
love for her.
So she was able to talk sooth
ingly to Martha Chapin as she un
dressed her and helped her into bed.
The matron, appolled and horri
fied at what had happened, was not
the heart-broken being she would
have been had she loved her hus
band better and feared him less.
After she had cried for awhile her
thoughts turned longingly to her
boy.
"If I could only see Clifford!"
she moaned at the end of an hour's
talk.
"I will telegraph for him at once,"
Elizabeth told her. "It was stupid
of me not to think of this sooner."
Going softly downstairs, she
started towards the rear hall where
the telephone was. At the sound of
her step Butler came out from the
dining room. Through the open
door she could see that Mr. Miller
was still there.
"What can I do for you, dear?"
Butler queried in a low voice.
She explained that she wished him
to send a telegram to Clifford
Chapin.
"You can telephone it to tthe
telegraph office," she went on. "Sim
ply say that his father is dead, and
that he must come on immediate
ly."
"What is his address?" Butler
queried, taking out a pencil and
pocket pad.
The girl smiled at him approving
ly. "I am proud of your self-pos
session, dear," she whispered. 'I
will get the address from Mrs.
Chapin."
She was back in a minute with
the address. When Butler had tak
en it she asked a question, "Who's
in there now?" as she heard steps
in the small room.
' "The coroner and his assistant,"
John replied. Then, seeing her
change color slightly, he took her
hand in his.
"Don't worry, dear. It is only a
formality that must be gone
through."
"I know," she nodded. "I am not

worrying. And you must not
either."
"No," he promised, 'not while I
have you. And, dear, you must not
mind when the sheriff comes."
The sheriff!" She caught her
breath sharply.
"Yes, darling. That is only an
other formality."
"Very well," she murmured.
She started upstairs, then stopped,
seized by a sudden idea.
"John," turning back, "I want you
to send another telegram for me."
"To whom?"
"To Douglass. I need him."
"Very well, dear," John said slow
ly. "But will it be convenient to
him ?"
"He must come whether it is or
not," she rejoined bluntly. "Yes, I
must have him."
"All right," the man agreed,
'What shall I say to him?"
"Only—'l need you. Come imme
diately.' Sign it, ELIZABETH."
Then she returned to Mrs. Chapin
and, sitting by her bed, tried to
soothe h'er by allowing her to talk
of what was on her mind.
"I don't see how Pa happened to
be fooling with that pistol," Mar
tha Chapin said. And at the words
Elizabeth startled violently. It had
not occurred to her that this simple
minded woman had not connected
John Butler with the circumstances
of her husband's death. "You see,"
the matron went on, "he never used
to bother much about a pistol. He
always kept one, but I never saw
him have it on his person till to
day. Then he showed it to me when
he came back from discharging that
crazy Pole. He said he had taken it
with him in case Talak waxed ugly,
and that it was loaded. I felt kind
er nervous when he said that,
er nervous when he said that.
"I suppose ho was handling it
when he was arguing with Mr. But
ler. From his voice-you could know
he was getting reckless in his talk.
In his excitement he must have
pulled the trigger, not noticing a
thing that he was doing, or what
way the pistol was pointed."
A look at the face on the pillow
showed Elizabeth Wade that the
speaker's words were as sincere as
her spirit was guileless. And as she
realized this the girl bent forward
impulsively and, putting her arms
about the woman, kissed her ten- '
derly.
Dear, dear Mrs. Chapin!" she \
murmured. "How good you are! Oh, ]
my dear, I am so sorry for you!"
"Thank you-, dearie!" Mrs. Chapin !
patted the fair young cheek. "You're i
a great comfort to me, honey. You !
must not worry about me. It's all
terrible, but," a gleam of light j
coming to her eyes—"if I can only
see Clifford I'll feel better. You j
think he'll surely come, don't you?" j
'Of course he will, as fast as the
train can carry him," Elizabeth said
confidently. "And he'll keep you j
with him after this—always." I
As she saw the faint smile come i
to the mother's lips Elizabeth Wade I
appreciated that maternity, not
matrimony, had been the passion of
this plain woman's life.
