"Abraham, a Man of Faith"
Gen. 12:1-9; 13:14-18.
Of all the great men named in the
Scriptures, there is not one that is
greater than Abraham. The three
great monoestic religions of the
world, Judaism, Christianity and
Mohammedanism claim Abraham as
their Father. Paul speaks of him as
"the father of us all." (Rom. 4:16).
Of no other human person are believ
ers said to be children except Abra
ham; all Christians are his seed (Gal.
3:29). Through Abraham's life of
faith bursts forth God's redeeming
giace down through the ages til!
Jesus Christ, the son of Abraham is
born, in whom all promises to the
"friend of God" have been and will
be fulfilled. Abraham's birth and
early history are an interesting
ftudy. His birth place, Ur, in Chal
dea.'is in obscurity. His father was
jt-iau, who nau tnree sons: Abram,
Nahor and Haran, a daughter from
a.iother wife, Sarai. Born in 2003
I;. C; Called from God to leave his
father's bouse and kindred and go
to a country God would show him;
reached Canaan in 192S B. C. His
father died in Haran, his younger
brother was dead also, who left a
5-on, Lot, who went with Abraham,
but four years later saparted him
Felf from his uncle and moved to
Sodom. We cannot but marvel at
the simple faith of Abraham, who
took God at his word and left ev
erything to do God's will. But that
is what God expects of every man.
A definite promise of a definite land
is given him, which is repeated six
dfferent times. (Gen. 12:1, 7; 13:
11-17; 15:7, S, 13, IS; 17:8; Acts
7:3), but Abraham never came into
full possession, but his posterity
430 years later; he was only a so
journer in the promised land. So is
every son of Abraham a sojourner
here; their home is with Christ in
heaven, in a city that God has built.
(Hebr. 11:10). Another promise is:
"I will make of thee a great nation."
The Jews have been and are a great
nation about 15,000,000 they
have given us the scriptures and the
Son of God. "And be thou a bless
ing." Who can enumerate the bles
sings that have come through Abra
Ytm to the world? (a) Being the
fi:ther of the Hebrew race; (b) in
the privilege of walking with God;
(c) in being the father of the faith
ful; (d) in being honored by Jew
and Gentile, Christian and Moham
medan; (e) His place in Christian
truth may be judged by the fact
tat he is mentioned more than
seventy times in the New Testament.
of the Holy Rosary parish to their
pastor and friend. The honor that
had come to their pastor in his ele
vation to the monsignori had brought
happiness and joy to the members of
the church and Mr. Stastka pointed
out the deep feeling of love and at
tachment that had grown between
the people of the parish and their
pastor since he came here last July
to take over the charge of the church.
He spoke of the early priests in the
state who had found difficult travel
between many points to visit their
members in time of stress and in
which mission field Monsignor Mos
ler had first engaged in the state.
He extended to the pastor the uni
versal wish of the parish that he
might have many years of life and
that they might long have him as
their spiritual guide. On behalf of
the Holy Rosary parish Mr. Stastka
presented Monsignor Mosler with a
purse as a token of affection from
his people.
The Rt. Rev. Monsignor Luke
Mandeville, of York, was called upon
by Father Hoffman to respond to
"The Office of Domestic Prelate."
Monsignor Mandeville told of his
meeting Father Mosler thirty years
before while the new monsignor was
at Crete, of his intimate touch with
the fine work that he had perform
ed in the priesthood and his many
parishes over the state where he had
won the deep affection of his people
for his service. Ttfe designation of
the domestic prelate was a stamp of
approval given for untiring and
faithful service in the cause of the
church and which Pope Pius XI had
placed on Father Mosler for his
faithful years. The scriptural basis
of this special recognition was found
in the events that followed the last
supper when three of the apostles had
been chosen by the Christ to accom
pany him a way on meditations. The
speaker presented the congratula
tions and well wishes of the clergy
of the Lincoln diocese.
County Judge A. II. Duxbury was
introduced to respond to the toast,
"Our Rotarian." Judge Duxbury
Lesson Study!
By L. Neitzel, Murdock, Neb.
"Him that curseth thee, will I
curse." Wherever nations have bit
terly persecuted the Jewish people,
God ha3 sooner or later punished
them. What a punishment Spain has
suffered in her sad eclipse since she
drove from her land the Jewish peo
ple in the fifteenth century. Ger
many, according to this promise,
will surely suffer the Judgment of
God for her cruel treatment of
Israel today. The wanderings and
experiences of Abraham are so var
ied and numerous that we cannot
follow them in one short lesson per
iod. His deep piety and faith in God
are shown in the incident of the
rescue and deliverance of Lot, who
was taken captive with all his fam
ily and goods as recorded in Gen.
Chap. 14. Blessed of the priest, Mel-
chizedek, to whom Abraham gave the
tithes (or the tenth), recognizing his
obligations to God and the church:
n the building of five altars (places
of slaughter) for worship and as
Monuments to God's special favors.
(Gen. 12:S; 13:1S; 22:9; 26:25).
-In the second part of the lesson
are promises given to Abraham that
would stagger most any man. (Gen.
13:14-18). (1) All the land be
could see north, south, east, west;
1 2) His seed as the dust of the
earth.
The order from God to investigate
and see the land, was faithfully car
ried out, and then his tent was
erected by the oaks of Mamre, about
IS miles north of Jerusalem. Here
he built an altar.
It is not said anywhere that Lot
ever built an altar to God. Erecting
an altar for worship of Jehovah in
every place were Abraham journey
ed may be compared to Christian
1 eople immediately seeking a church
home when they move to a new
I'ace; a man who keeps near God,
who worships God, who walks with
God in his strength; will 'often be
the means to lead others to God.
The decadence of the church in
her members is found in the fact of
the falling down of her family altars;
we are looking for an Elijah who
shall call the people to their obliga
tions to God, repairing "the altars
.that are broken down." (I Kings,
1S:30, 31). When the Christian
neglects hi3 family altar, he loses
his strength, like Samson who had
his locks shorn, his strength was
pone. (Judges 16:19). Abraham
gave his posterity a good example of
faith in God; he knew that God
expects a man to be "faithful unta
death to receive the crown of life."
(Rev. 2:10).
pointed to the fact that in this day
the world was revaluing the services
one gave to man, how in the past
only the great in war or government
were honored while today men and
women in the tasks of peace were
being acclaimed for their services,
that leaders of peace were leaving
their imprint on the lives of the na
tions of the world. The honors paid
to John Howard Payne, author of
"Home Sweet Home" by the nation
al government was cited as one case
of a reward for a service to man in
the composition of this world known
song. Judge Duxbury touched on
the Rotary spirit of world peace and
the practice of paying deserved tri
bute while the recipient might hear
the words while living as idly carved
on a marble stone they might be
only a gesture of the past. Judge
Duxbury paid a warm personal tri
bute to Monsignor Mosler, "Father
Adolph," as he is known in Rotary,
his fine service to the community as
well as his church, and above all the
fine personality that had endeared
him to all who had known him.
Monsignor Mosler was presented
by Father Hoffman and with great
emotion gave a few words of appre
ciation at the wonderful tributes that
had come to him during the day from
the clergy and laymen.
The Most Rev. Louis B. Kucera,
Bishop of Lincoln, in his response ex
pressed his gratification at the com
munity expression of approval of thej
services of Monsignor Mosler and
that members of his church as well
as non-members had joined in thej
tribute to .the servant of the Cath
olic church now elevated to the
monsignori. The spirit was repre
sentative of our great nation where
religious freedom was enjoyed and
practiced. The bishop expressed the
gratitude for the elevation of Mon
signor Mosler by. Pope Pius XI as
the recognition of a fine service.
Bishop Kucera spoke also of the work
of Pope Pius XI at the present time,
one of the gravest in the history of
the church and the world and in
which the voice of the Pope had been
raised in the defense of the oppress
ed and in the cause of right and
civilization. The plea of the Pope for
equality for the laborer and wage
earner, for the cause of world peace.
This great leadership had inspired
the world and its example had led
others such as Father Mosler to carry
on their work to a deserved recog
nition. The bishop expressed the
hope that the kindly leader of the
Catholic church might be spared to
lead the church and the world out
of the dark problems of today into
the realms of peace. The bishop also
expressed the appreciation for the
fine banquet prepared by the ladies.
The benediction by Bishop Kucera
closed the program of the evening
and many of the visiting clergy ..en
joyed a short visit at the Holy Rosary
parish house before returning to
their homes.

ent were:
