The mistake Of starting wrong was
fully illustrated by the sermon OF Rev,
e, L. Hubbard, before q large congre-
cation In Union NJ. Z. Church. on Sun.
day morning. After announcing his
text, the Sod verse OF the 14th chapter
OF Genesis: And Jacob was LETT alone,
and he Iwrestled with man until the
break df day." he remarked that Jacob
started wrong. He had good father,
but stheming mother, who encourag.
cd Jacob to deceive his father, to take
that which belonged to Esau, and then
urged him to run away to avoid the
conseq hences OF his wrong doing. A
great many other persons than Jacob
start wrong.
In,su Oh cases It is better to turn
pack correct the error, and start
right. Jacob, however. went ahead.
He reptnted of his conduct and asked
the Lord to bless him. Having eased
his competence. In short tune he got
married, very much married, having
two wives. Eventually he cheated his
father. in-law, and then thought It best
to gather up his goods and depart
| clandestinely. He was followed by
his father-in-law, but finding grace in
his eyes by protesting repentance he
was allowed to continue his Journey
with hi4 ill-gotten gains. On reaching
the borders OF his homo lands he
pitched his tents, and then went back
TO pray as he was afraid that Esau
would Kill him.
1t we 5 then that the angel OF the
LORD appeared to him. and they wres-
tied all night, Jacob refusing to let
the angel depart until he should bless
him. by his long importantly his

pared tN go forward trusting to find
favor With Eaau. TO effect his pur-
pose, hd sent presents to Esau by his
serventB, and as Esau approached, he
went forward himself, bowing to the
ground seven times. and Offering him
all his goods In consideration OF the
wrong 10 had done him. Esau refused
to accept them. however, saying he
had an abundance OF his own, and told
Jacob TO keep them. Mr.. Hubbard
cited this example of reconciliation as
worthy pf imitation.
