mskernk. the Mother of Jacob
From the gUmpooe which come
to na of SwroiUu. she was a wo
men of untumal energy end de-
termination. Hhe knew bow to
plan a thing and then put it over,
lu the abounding energy ahe waa
much' like her wild eon, Eaau.
And ae those thing* come to paea
frequently, the quiet, gentle father
aelected hia wild eon aa Ilia fav-
orite, and the energetic mother
took aa her favorite the gentle,
homo-loving Jacob. Oppoalteu of-
ten attract In a strong way.
Nowhere does the Bible sa action
the lying deception whUh Jacob
practiced in iiie uiaiin of ifi Ut-
lug the bleuaiug of lih father;
nor doea It condone tlio shrewd
practice of taking advsutage of
Eaau when be was hungry and
tired and thus securing hia birth-
right for a mere nothing,

Hi# world la full of Jaoba, of
supplantera. of tboao who crowd
othara out of tbetr place an.l aelaa
It for themaelvea. We call the
process competition, and we glori-
fy thoae who ara successful at It.
It is a process precisely opposite
to the Christian conception of life,
which carea for the weaker und
exalts the humble. Christianity,
of course, doea not teach thut a
strong man shall full to uae IiIm
Mtrength, that a progressive man
Khali hold himself hack, u mull if
ability curb IiIm ability; hut Christ-
Innlty tenches that none of these
things shall la* done at the expense
of the weak, the tliuhl, tlM under-
privileged, or the stupid, bill |twit
every man shall have a f.ilr chance
and no man Is* trlp|ied up lu his
holiest efforts to reach hi« goal.

“And the hoys grew." The
principle of growth Implanted In
man hy Ills Creator will never let
him alone, lie must move soine-
where, either forward or back-
ward. He must Is* milking some-
thing of life, something sublime
or something Ignoble. Mo the
growth of John the Baptist Is
related: “The child grew, and
waxed strong In spirit.“ Ho the
growth of Jesus is set forth twice;
“The child grew, und waxed strong,
tilled with wisdom; and the grace
of God was ii|sm him." “And
Jesus advanced in wisdom aud
stature, and In favor with Hod
and men." Bill no two hoys grow
Just alike, not even twins; and
these twins, the sons of Isaac un.l
Kcltekah, grew up In very differ-
ent fashion. Ksau was a mutt for
Mils world; a man addicted to ills
sporta, for he was a hunte-, and
a man thnl klit-w how to llvt '»>
Ills wits, for he was n cunning
hunter; recreation was his busi-
ness; he studied the arl of It, Olid
spent all his time In It."
“And Jacob was h quiet man,
dwelling In tents." I<ct not this
description Imply that Ja oh was
less enterprising Hum Ksuu; lie
was far more enterprising, hut lu
a different way. Ills was enter-
prise of the study, Kuan's of the
fields. Ills enterprise was thought-
ful ; Ksau's was vigorous, Ills
enterprise was of the brain and
heart, Ksau's was of the hands
aud feet. Their characters were
still further different. "Ksau Is
the man of the present ; Jacob Is
the man of the future, Ksau Is
never able lo hsik la-yond the
hour; Jacob has Ids thoughts al-
ways on the morrow. Ksau Is
Hhsorhed III the pleasures of sense;
Jacob Is Intent on the pursuit of

a merry life; Jacob Is willing to

therefore the birthright In the

“We ahould never take advant-

unis, endaugeru life, corrupts leg-
islatures, and sows seeds of na-
tional disaster! “JVe want Iteer’’
la the modern cry of Ksau, who
was ready to aell hia birthright
for a mess of pottage. It speaks
volumes for appetite, nothing for
manhood.
The Coal of Sinful Pleasure.
The leaeon furnishes a Hue op-
portunity for emphasising the
prlee that some people jaiy for
the gratification of their fleshly
desires. Ksau's folly la Itelng com
uilttcd before our eyes every day
For the sake of a piece of fruit
Adam and Kve sacrificed their
Inherltanee and brought spiritual
death Into the world. Lot's wife
must take one longing look buck
Hodotn, and a pillar of suit Is Hie
monument to her folly. For l he
sake of u woman's caresses, H.imp-
son lost Ills hair, his strength, Ills
sight, tils all. David Indulged a
forbidden love for Bathshebu, lost
his communion with (hsl, and left
an ugly blot upon Ills name and
Ids posterity. Aud Judas, lor
thirty pieces of silver, betrayed Ids
.Master, and left the blackest, name
that ever marked the pages of
history.
Two solemn warnings we ennnot
forget in connection with this les-
son: (I) Never sacrifice spirit mi I
Interests to the np|s*tlleN of I In*
Mesh. The Hplrit and I ho tlesh
are contrary the one to the other,
the flesh pulling one way and the
Hplrit in the other. (21 Never
sacrifice the future for the pres-
ent. Immediate enjoyment must
not outweigh future blessedness.
‘•Whenever a man lets go his
hold on a higher, greater x«h*u, lu
order to snatch at a lower, he re-
jH'ats pour Ksau's stupid blund-
er.’—Rev. George Jackson.
“We barter life for pottage; we
sell true bliss
For weath or power, for pleasure
or renown!
Thus, Ksau like, our Father's
blessing uilss,
Then wash with fruitless tears
our fuded crown."
—John Knhle.
