inc blessing OF his father, his marriage, his re-
,ufh 10 canaan the reception which was given
nm oY ms brother, his ALARM his prayer, and
struggle WIN tho angel in which he came oil
lie declared that the angel with
whom jacob wrestled was the EorI Jesus
Christ. That no other character could have re-
u 'ehlei INN anu given everlasting life. Jacob
knew he had been guilty ola sin against his
brother, and hence his great earnestness To So
cure the blessing which was finally vouclisaicd
10 hun. The spirit in which Jacob wres,lcd
was stimulated by faltL. The blessing of God
depended OH the faith exerted. Jacobs faith
he said rested on tho willingness Of the angel to
bless, anu our faith should rest on the W Wiling
ness oil God Ia bless. God designs that all may
come to the cross and DO saved. Even those
who participated in the crlIcitx ion, were given
me privilege to repent. Those who come iu
me name OF Jesus are always welcomed, ana
us ABILITY Is exerted 10 bless He alluded to
he Importance Of faith, the Importance of the
belief that Christ died 70. ali, and was able IN
ave to the uttermosi. When faith is strong
ne shadows fly, and God is seen. Jacob was
ietefinlhe'l To have the blessing rvan if His
aihily needed his attention, even Of his i,tu-
ley was ch cked, even ifhis limbs shou,l all ba
'lsJointcd. lie urged the necessity of imp,rti,-

IN order TO secure the blessing. The |
ehitent should come As Jacob did, aud vie |
Org VIII bn voculisaicl. He noticed the change |
i jacobs name 10 Israel, AMI he was no longer
howh by the name OF the supplanlrr, but as |
lie man who prevailed. H.. cou,uenl.l ih,r
attn OF Jacob, AID remarked just as m IN has
over wlth God he has power with men. He
itistrateu This point with great clearness, and
loseu WIN an earnest appeal 10 all TO repent
hi EXERCISE NH with the earnestnrss mani
'sed by JAG III oi, the memorable occasion 10
Inch he had aluded. Mr. Hin is one Of the
Id fashioned Methodist preachers, plain and
