9. “And Abram journeyed, going on still toward the south.” It is good to be always going on in the way of the Lord. We read of David that he went on and grew great (margin, going and growing), and the Lord God of hosts was with him (II Sam, v. 10). An enlarging and a winding about is not out of place, if it be “still upward, still upward, still upward, by the midst” (Ezek. xii, 7). Peter would call it growing in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ (II Pet. iii, 18). But while on this present earth we are in an enemy’s country, for even our Lord said that the devil is the prince of this world (John xiv, 30), and we need to watch and pray lest we fall into temptation. If there is one thing that the devil seems to hate specially it is to see a believer wholly separated unto God and walking humbly with God, living for and relying upon Him alone. The rest of this chapter tells of some sad wandering and stumbling on the part of Abram, even a compact between himself and his wife to lie in order to save his life, and a consequent rebuke from a heathen king. Abram’s faith was a matter of growth, and it had not at this time reached to that implicit trust in God of later years. * * * * * The State Sunday School Convention. The 36th Annual Convention of the Kentucky Sunday School Association is announced for Danville, Ky., Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, August 20, 21, 22, 1901. It will bring together five or six hundred of the leading workers of the state. Each Sunday school is entitled to one delegate for each 100 or fraction thereof enrolled. These delegates should be appointed the first Sunday in August, and their names sent at once to J. S. Trisman, Danville, Ky., so entertainment can be provided. In addition to these the county is entitled to ten delegates at large. All ministers are ex-officio delegates. These delegates must secure credentials from their county officers, which entitles them to free entertainment while there. The railroads will give reduced rates to all who desire to attend the convention. * * * * * The Best Remedy for Stomach and Bowel Troubles. “I have been in the drug business for twenty years and have sold most all of the proprietary medicines of any note.

Wakefield, of Columbus, Ga. “This remedy cured two severe cases of cholera morbus in my family and I have recommended and sold hundreds of bottles of it to my customers to their entire satisfaction.
