THE GOD OF JACOB.
Rev. Mr.. Converse's Sunday Morn
ing Sermon.

Happy is he that bath tho God Of Jacob for his help
I-rsalms cNLvE5
"rhe God of Jacob" is a name for
Jehovah that is found frequently in tho
pages Of the Old Testament. Sometimes
Jacob is coupled with Abraham and
Isaac, and it reads, "rhc God of Abra-
ham, Isaac and Jacob" Sometimes we
find "The God of Abraham and fire.
quently "'The God of Jacob" as in our
text. 1t is Il name of comfort and of
peace, freighted with consolation for tho
hour OF trouble and sorrow.
| In order to understand it we must first
inquire why it is that Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob are named instead of other
men equally holy and godiy. Enoch,
Moses, David, Elijah and others were
fully as honorcd us servants of God, but
we never read of the God OF Enoch or
Moses. Tho explanation is found in the
fact that Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were
tho fathers of the nation Israel. Before
their day thcre was no nation more spe-
cially favored of God than another; all
alike possessed some fragmentary
knowledge Of God, and dim hope of IL
coming Redccmer. But now the time
had come fora clearer revelation of God's y
grace--a decided advance in tho knowl-
edge of coming redemption. One nation
is selected to be educated gradually in
divine truth, and thus fitted to he her
aids of the gospel OF Christ to tho whole
world. When this educating work was
finished Christ came. Judaism was the
early dawn; Christ tho brightness of the
day. Abraham was the founder of tho
nation, and his life and those of his son
and grandson, Isaac and jacob, were
providentially ordered so as to illustrate
tho nature of true religion. Their lives
were recorded at length, and pious Jews
in reading them could learn how to live
Alright and worship God acccptably.
Remembering this special meaning of
the lifo of Jacob We are now ready to in
quire what thoughts the name, "'rhe God
OF jacob carried to pious Jews. 1t re-
minded them of many precious views of
God, but, specially tho following:
| |. The God of promised blessing. The
promise made to Abraham and his de-
scendants is tho key to jacobs life. Ho
longcd ardcntly to possess. 1t filled his
heart and controlled his lite. This prom
isc finds its complete fuliillmcnt only in
the glorics of Christ's redemption.
=. The God who Furnishes sin. Jacob
repeatedly made fearful mistakes in the
way he sought to obtain tho blessing.
He was guilty of deceit and falschood,
and bitterly was he punished for it; his
life was II life of sorrow. Though a true
child of God ,he was sorely chastened for
his sinful conduct.
3. Tho God Of comfort. No Bible
scholar thinks of Jacob without think
| ing Of Bethel, the beautiful vision OF
protection and blessing given tho fugi-
tive while his head was pillowed on
stones.
4. hcpmyer-answcringG God. jacobs
struggle with tho angel on his return to
Canaan is Il marked feature ofliis career.
IL was the type Of earnest prayer. lie
has now learned the true way Of taking
hold of tho promised blessing and his
name is changed from Jacob (tiie sup
plantcr) t" Israel uhc prince with Cod.

A PILE PARLEY.
A Very Complicated Affair, Not
Yet Ended.

Peter Woods agreed to furnish thirty
piles for DeGroat township at IS cents
each, ami Commissioner Creel instruct
ed Peter to get them off Jake Walkers
claim, as Jake owed him u sum OF
money which was to be paid in wood,
etc. Pete delivered the thirty piles to
the commissioners at his barn last Sat
urday, but they mysteriously disap-
peared the same evening, and it is
claimed they were found few days
later among some others in c. Il l..
Buddc's lumber yard. 1t also claimed
that J. A. Burnett held u mortgage on
Jake Walkers land and u lien on all
the timber, so that no person had any
right to take timber unless they had
permission from Mr.. Burnett, and he
claims these piles as belonging to him.
However, the commissioners instructed
the sheriff to take the piles as they be-
longed to the county, which he did yes.
terday evening. Chas. Budde says he
forbade him taking them unless the
officer showed an order from the court
for doing so. There is good deal OF
excitement among some Of our citizens
over what they call high handed act
Of the sheriff. 1t is claimed he had no
more right to take the property the
way he did than any private citizen,
but it is presumed the sheriff was acting
under good legal advice and knows
what he is about. The piles are now in
front Of the court house, but it would
seem that the end is not vet.
