LESSONS FROM THE PATRIARCHS

There is hardly person named III

"a knowledge as of Jacob. His career
is foreshown by prophecy and indi
Gated by an incident at his birth, and
it is no hard task to picture to our
selves the years of keen eyed watch

the bluff and easy going Esau. until

mother to help and spur him on, ne
at last steals the prize of the birth
right from it's legal posessor.
We may be tempted to say that
Jacob was very poor material from
which to make saint; but it is the
chief glory of Gods love that He takes
hold of men just as they are-where
they are and what they are-and IL
they will only give Him a chance He
will lead them up and out into the
true realms of manhood. which is be-
ing saint blessed and blessing.
Very human we sometimes call
Jacob and David and others whom
God called for special service and who
sinned grievously. but let us not
dwell too long on sin as an element
of human nature. 1t is, after all,
only a defective and a transient state
unless we are going to class God as
incapable or impractical, and the cost
of it is adapted always to lead the
prudent man from continuing therein.

RELIEVE THE CONGESTION.
SITUATION MUCH BETTER AT To-
CAL PENNSYLVANIA FREIGHT
HOUSE.
II Will Not be Necessary to Bring Out
side Workmen to Assist the
Local Handlers.

The congested conditions at the To-
cal Pennsylvania freight house, which
necessitated the bringing of thirty-five
men here more than week ago, are
relieved according to the statement of
local freight man. Only a few
freight cars remain ahead of the men,
but these can be easily cleaned up
along with the cars coming into the
Richmond station regularly. Between
fifty and seventy-five cars are backed
into the freight house tracks each day,
whose freight has to be transferred
and the local men have been working
hard to unload and reload all cars en-
tering the city each day. Several
hundred cars are handled daily in the
yards but these do not require trans
ferring, as do those sent to the freight
station.

Persons-Jacob and his family.
In order TO refresh the memory and
gain the connection, it would be well
to read chapters, %. 50 and 81, and
b.. $50. 1t was poetic justice that
Jacob, who deceived his father, should
himself have been deceived in having
Leah forced upon him. The whole
story told in these chapters Is typl-

early times Jacob had two wives and
two concubines. and it is taken as a

might not unreasonably vent upon
Jacob He sends an humble message

the Indianapolis newspapers have la

often do you suppose he went with
shame over that scene of the deceiv-
ing of his father during the lonely
nights of vigils in the fields with
frost and rain as added tormentors ?
and how like the trick he and his
mother had played on purblind old
Isaac. was that which Laban played
on him in giving him as wife the
watery-eyed Leah, instead of the
younger and beautiful Rachel. And
whether penitence or fear was most
active when he was about to meet
Esau in the desert, there is no room
to doubt that he was afraid. Guilty
consciences are poor armor, and that
kid skin mask of earlier years
doubtless seemed to Jacob just then

deliver his speech
Mr.. Bryan replied to the Georgian,
and in beginning his address he paid
his respects to Mr.. Graves and what
he had said. He complimented Mr..
Graves in the highest manner for his
honesty and his boIdness, and said if
there was any place in the world
where absolute freedom of speech
should prevail it ought to be in a
Democratic gathering. Turning di-
rectly to the subject of Mr.. Graves's
