The general religious meeting OF the
university was. held last evening In D"igns
hall, and was addressed by Rev. Samuel \.
Herrick, D. D., of Boston, who spoke IN
part as follows: "There are In every life
single moments when the whole man comes
to the surface. No artist in human speech
ever portrayed in so concise sentence
human character: s'He was profane man,
and sold his birthright for a morsei OF
meat" This man Esau knew that for ten
generations there existed an understand
ing by adherence to which blessing WAS to
come to the family. It WAS to be perpes-
nal incentive to good living. Esau lived
in action, little in thought and medisstien.
The unbridled passion of moment swept
away the glory of generations. Coming
home from the chase, tired and hungry ne
sold his birthright to Jacob for mess
of pottage. Thus he was profane IN Plac.

That feeling which obliterates the value OF

cure from this fault. We all have birth
right as sons of God we have the nlrtn-
right of righteous life, life OF virtue.
The flesh and the spirit are weighed to-

bankrupt. How alike are the devils az
puments. That divine birthright which
belongs to every one of US would keep us
back from sin, and lead us to God. Let

Whatsoever things are true, pure, honest,
of good repute, think, rightly estimate
these things.
