BROWN LECTURE

Mr.. Van Dyke conducted vespers yes
terday afternoon in Sayles hall before an
immense crowd. He took for his text:
Thus Esau disposed Of his birthright,'
and his sermon was briefly as follows:
According to the law OF heredity. Jacob
and Esau should have both been alike,
but on the contrary they were very un-
like. The facts Of human existence do
not always correspond TO the theories of
current philosophy Great is heredity. and
environment is it's prophet. Not the color
Of the eyes which our parents leave us.
hut the color OF the heart determines
what we shall make OF our lives.
The difference between Jacob and Esau
lies i'm the use they made OF what they
got. Esau represents the headstrong.
sensuous man OF the present, Jacob the
thoughtful. quiet man OF the future, and
although Jacob had faults and Esau vir-
tues. Esau failed because he dispised his
inthouzht Jacob succeeded because he
had the abllity TO discern between the
senze OF n moment s pleasure and life
long good It was this ability that final
Is enabled him 10 become a great blessed

that tho things we want are very near
Heaven is far away; God does not speak

them.
Full many a young man, led on by de-
sire Of excitement breaks down his fine
sense OF honor and shame and lowers his
