It seems strange that in this story there is nothing to tell us that Lot even thanked his uncle for what he had done. All that we know is that he went back into the Jordan valley and to wicked Sodom, and Abram and his soldiers and the friends who had helped him journeyed south until they came to the home tents at Hebron. Did you ever hear the proverb, “A friend in need is a friend indeed”? Open your Bibles in the middle, turn to the next book on the right, and you will see that it is the book of Proverbs. Find chapter 17 and verse 17, and let us read that proverb together. Who was it in this story that acted the part of a friend? A friend to whom? What is the name that Abram earned for himself? Do you not think that a friend of God would always be quite sure to be a friend of man also? (Ask the children to watch during the coming week and see how many people they can find who are doing kindly things for others. Suggest that they try themselves to be “friends” and “brothers” to everybody who needs any help that they can give.) LESSON 11 THE CORRELATED LESSON (If the children have the colored slips marking their memory verses corresponding to the rainbow bookmark colors, as suggested in Lesson 8, it will be easy for them to find the verses. Such a drill as the one given here will not only fix the verses in their memory associated with their meaning, but will help the children to acquire facility in handling the Bible and turning quickly to references. As you will see this lesson is partly a drill on information which is given on page 31 of the Pupil’s Book for Work and Study.) How many memory texts have we had in the first book of the Bible? What is the name of that book? What is the color in the rainbow bookmark for the first five books? What are those books called? Who can tell what the memory texts in Genesis are without looking in the book? Who can give one from Jeremiah? Who will find for me a verse about love? What is that chapter called? Then if any one should ask you, “Where will I find the Love Chapter in the Bible?” what would you answer? Who will find a verse that tells how Abraham obeyed when God called him? What is that chapter about? Then what is it called? In what book is the Faith Chapter found? What is the number of the chapter? Let us see if we can all find the Christmas Story.
