We glory in t h e n a m e of

P a u l t h e Apostle said of 
Jesus, "God h a s spoken to us b y

To u n d e r s t a n d t h a t divine k i n d -

m u s t h a v e some i d e a of t h e

m u c h t h e y w e r e in n e e d of God, 
and how m u c h t h e y n e e d e d to 
h e a r God speak. 

God called A b r a h a m f r o m a 
d a r k p a g a n w o r l d . C e n t u r i e s 
l a t e r J o s u e said to t h e t r i b e s 
of Israel in C h a n a a n , " T h u s

I took y o u r f a t h e r A b r a h a m 
f r o m t h e b o r d e r s of Mesopo-

of J u d i t h relates t h a t t h e I s r a e l -
ites l e f t t h e children of C h a l d e a 
"because t h e y w o u l d not follow

of m a n y gods, t h e y w o r s h i p p e d 
one God of h e a v e n . " ( 5 : 7 - 9 ) 

In t h e echo of t h e s e w o r d s 
listen n o w to t h e call of A b r a -
h a m as r e l a t e d in Genesis 12. 
" A n d t h e L o r d said t o A b r a -

t h e e a g r e a t n a t i o n . . . I n t h e e 
shall all n a t i o n s of t h e e a r t h b e

something of t h e feeling of P a u l 
w h e n he r e m e m b e r e d A b r a h a m 
and w r o t e t h e s e lines t o t h e

ABRAHAM THE FAITHFUL FRIEND 7 
worshipped? M a n y w e r e t h e 
gods of Ur, and m a n y t h e god-
desses. All t h e forces of n a t u r e 
w e r e personified, m a d e gods, 
m a l e or female. T h e moon w a s 
a god called Sin. T h e air w a s a 
god called Enlil. T h e sky w a s 
a god called Anu. This might 
be dismissed as hapless and 
harmless f a n t a s y , b u t listen! 
This is w h a t t h e y f o u n d in t h e 
b u r i a l grounds a t Ur. " A b o u t 
t h e bodies of kings, covered 
w i t h pearls, gold, lapis and 
agate, w e r e b u r i e d t w e n t y - f i v e , 
f i f t y , s e v e n t y - f o u r sacrificed 
servants. Among t h e m a r e m e n 
and women, domestics, even a 
m u l e t e e r w i t h his beasts lined 
u p as if on p a r a d e . No t r a c e of 
violence is to be seen on t h e i r 
bodies. These victims m u s t 
h a v e been done to d e a t h b y 
poison." (Daniel-Rops, Sacred 
History, p. 12) W h a t h a v e we 
here! H u m a n sacrifice, m e n 
a n d w o m e n p u t to death t h a t 
t h e king m i g h t not h a v e to d e -
scend into t h e u n d e r w o r l d 
alone. 

This is t h e world t h a t A b r a -
h a m is told to leave. This w e n t 
w i t h t h e comfort and l u x u r y of 
t h e city, w i t h its silk h a n g -
ings, its e m b r o i d e r e d garments, 
its p e r f u m e s and jewels — this 
distorted v a l u e of h u m a n life. 
A s t r a n g e idea of a m a n always 
goes w i t h a s t r a n g e idea of God 
—or w i t h no idea of God! 

Look now at t h e contrast! 
The t e n t s of t h e w a n d e r i n g A b -
r a h a m a r e silhouetted against 
t h e desert sky a n d behind h i m 
t h e t o w e r t e m p l e of U r and all 

its gleaming culture. Behold 
t h e symbols of t w o worlds. To-
day t h e m u s e u m s of London 
and Philadelphia house t h e a r t 
of t h e dead city of Ur, b u t m i l -
lions of living h e a r t s a r e 
h e a r t h s w h e r e b u r n t h e u n d y i n g 
e m b e r s of A b r a h a m ' s f a i t h . 

The m e n of Ur h a d f o u n d t h e 
power to raise a temple, to cut 
jewels, and to mold silver, b u t 
t h e y had lost t h e power to p r e -
serve t h e image of God in 
Whose likeness t h e y w e r e 
made. "For while professing 
to be wise, t h e y have become 
fools, and they h a v e changed 
t h e glory of t h e incorruptible 
God for an image m a d e like to 
corruptible m e n and to birds 
and f o u r - f o o t e d beasts and 
creeping things." (Rom. l : 2 2 f ) 
Men needed to k n o w the t r u e 
God. Only t h e n would t h e y p u t 
t h e right, value on m a n and all 
t h e works of m a n . Only t h e n 
would all nations of t h e e a r t h 
be t r u l y blessed. God chose 
A b r a h a m as t h e f i r s t i n s t r u -
m e n t of t h a t blessing. This is 
t h e beginning of t h e c u l t u r e of 
t h e spirit, t h e beginning of t h e 
building of t h e city of God. It 
s t a r t s with a mystical call, w i t h 
t h e e n t r a n c e of God upon t h e 
d a r k stage of the world as H e 
speaks His f i r s t lines to A b r a -
h a m . "I t h e Lord God a m one." 
This is t h e f i r s t stone in t h e 
s t r u c t u r e of w e s t e r n civiliza-
tion. God chose A b r a h a m to 
l a y t h a t stone. Therein lies t h e 
greatness of his name. Therein 
is his glory.

Naboth is not alive b u t d e a d . " 
( 3 K 2 1 : 1 5 ) . 

T h e n Elias w e n t to m e e t

THE PURPOSE OF THE CATHOLiC HOUR 

(Extract from the address of the late Patrick Cardinal Hayes at the in-
augural program of the Catholic Hour in the studio of the National 
Broadcasting Company, New York City, March 2, 1930.) 

Our congratulations and our gratitude are extended to the National 
Council of Catholic Men and its officials, and to all who, by their financial 
support, have made it possible to use this offer of the National Broad-
casting Company. The heavy expense of managing and f i n a n c i n g a 
weekly program, its musical numbers, its speakers, the subsequent an-
swering of inquiries, must be met . . . 

This radio hour is for all the people of the United States. To our 
fellow-citizens, in this word of dedication, we wish to express a cordial 
greeting and, indeed, congratulations. For this radio hour is one of 
service to America, which certainly will listen in interestedly, and even 
sympathetically, I am sure, to the voice of the ancient Church with its 
historic background of all the centuries of the Christian era, and with 
its own notable contribution to the discovery, exploration, foundation 
and growth of our glorious country . . . 

Thus to voice before a vast public the Catholic Church is no light 
task. Our prayers will be with those who have that task in hand. We 
feel certain that it will have both the good will and the good wishes of 
the great majority of our countrymen. Surely, there is no true lover 
of our Country who does not eagerly hope for a less worldly, a less 
material, and a more spiritual standard among our people. 

With good will, with kindness and with Christ-like sympatny tor 
all, this work is inaugurated. So may it continue. So may it be ful-
filled. This word of dedication voices, therefore, the hope that this radio 
hour may serve to make known, to explain with the charity of Christ, 
our faith, which we love even as we love Christ Himself. May it serve 
to make better understood that faith as it really is—a light revealing 
the pathway to heaven; a strength, and a power divine through Christ; 
pardoning our sins, elevating, consecrating our common every-day duties 
and joys, bringing not only justice but gladness and peace to our search-
ing and questioning hearts.
