NOTES ON THE INTERNATIONAL LESSON.

LOT'S CHOICE.

(February 6.—Gen. 13: 1-13.)
"THE two tribes of Abraham and Lot having no longer permission to remain in Egypt, wandered back by slow marches towards Canaan, over the uplands of the Negeb or South Country, which was then much more fertile than now, to their old encampment between Bethel and Hai. The removal of an Arab camp to new pasture grounds must present much the same scene in all ages, and hence that of a tribe which Layard saw on the march must help us to realize the Old World picture of the daily stages of Abraham and Lot.
