From the marginal reading we see
that Jacobs words when urging Esau
to accept his gift were: Because
have ALL" Every child OF God can
truthfully say as much. Il Cor 1921;
Phil 4:1S, 10; Rom. 1871, 32) Thus
we see the astute Jacob who had so
arranged his affairs as to make gifts
or not as might be necessary is sur
prised, not as at Bethel when he met
God, but to find that God had so
moved upon the heart of his brother
as to remove for time at least all
danger.
III. The Separation, w. 1915. We
infer from a study of Esau's life that
Jacob did not deem it safe to make
the proposed journey. Discretion is
the better part Of valor." God does
not demand nor desire rsshness and
needless danger upon the part of his
children.
There are three main teachings in
this lesson, aside from those OF the
preceding chapter. ~ That in mat
tiers of supreme importance in the
life of any man God is interested and
ready to lend his assistance. Jacob
ready to lend his assistance.
(2) There is the lesson that while
men with anxiety seek to make plans
for the Kingdom 1t is only as they
fully commit themselves to him and
allow him to dominate and to guide
will they spell success in their lives.
(3) And lastly. when God controls,
when he has the victory in our
hearts and our lives, he not only
changes the attitude Of our enemies
towards US but changes our attitude
towards them. from. 1920. 21.)
The Golden Text emphasizes this
last thought. The only way we can
possibly obey Paul's injunction viii
be as we are Gin Christ Jesus" As
we abide in, and recognizing the ex-
ceeding riches of his grace, as we
recognize Gods forgiveness as mani |
fest in Christ Jesus: as we submit to J
him. We will be able to be kind one
to another"

JACOBS MEETING WITH EsAU.

We are about to lose sight of Jacob,

is much more like the average man.

tiers 20 and 30, while that of his re-
turn to Canaan is contained in chap.
tiers 31.35 Though not included in
the selected portion of Scripture, we
do not see how anyone can teach this
lesson and omit the consideration OF
chapter SO. We therefore see before

ration for the lesson of today.

had just had vision Of God (323
why then, should he fear the face OF
his brother? Even so, however. he
continued his measures of precaution
and separated his children into Leah
and Rachel and sent the landmarks
and their children ahead. Notice how
he places his most loved in the rear
OF the procession which he himself
led. Jacob was not a coward and, In

had no need to be. Before he had
fed from the face of his angry broth

humility, he enters the presence OF
that same brother even though he
had had no assurance as to the char
acter OF that meeting.
II. The Meetlng-vv. All. Tween
ty-one years had passed, days OF
great testing but of great blessing,
before Jacob began this homeward
journey. Jacob had learned the "up-

prayer brought Esau to him in haste

fugitive of old, but a transformed

asks. and Jacob at once acknowledges |
God as the giver and the blesser.

of his children as Gods gracious gifts, |

teaching of the Bible, yet how often
is it the modern view, at least in |
many circles of society. Following |
the children came the landmarks and
their children then Leah and her
and last of all Rachel and

the orders were carried out by subordi
mates.
Mrs. Ebave, wife of one of the con
demned men, was present when the
sentence was pronounced and pleaded
with Villa to pardon her husband, b
he refused.
A squad of fourteen Federal prison
ers was taken to the cemetery to bury
eighty-nine of the soldiers who wer,
killed in the Juarez battle. One of tn,
prisoners fearing he was to be ex
ecuted, tried to escape and was sho
by the guards.

street car-he put on brakes, and was
sure that his speed at the moment of
the impact, was not over two miles
an hour.
At the conclusion Of the hearing Mr..
Ben Holmes, who was present, stated
to the Court that Mrs. Holmes realized
that the occurrence was accidental
and that there was no disposition to
prosecute anyone, but he added that
if the showing made by the witnesses
as to the speed of the motorcycle is
correct someone else must have run
into the ladies, else his wife could not
have been injured as seriously as she
was. -....
The Mayor declined to render judg-
ment upon the hearing had and an
nounced that he would personally in
terview Mrs. Holmes when she was in
condition to see him before deciding

The road, as surveyed, will traverse
a distance of thirteen miles. Three

enterprise, and intends to use the road
in an extension up the Pearl river
valley to Columbus and thence t.
Birmingham. but this is denied BY
high officials of the system. For tn,
present, at least, the road is simpl!

Kinds CIRCUIT
COURT C0NVENES
PROBABLE THAT BREWERS DE-

GRAND JURY.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. 1.-THE regular
November term of the Kinds county
circuit court for the transaction of
criminal business only, was convened
at nine o'clock this morning with Judge
w. A. Henry presiding.
A strong charge was delivered to
the grand jury, after which that body
retired Immediately to start the semi
annual inquisition, assisted by District
Attorney ]. H. Howie and County At
torney o. B. Taylor.
Indications are that the new criminal
business developed during the term
will be rather light, no notable crimes
having been committed in the district
during the past few months. However,
large amount of business was carried
over from the June term, the prision
investigation instituted by Gov. Brew
er having occupied large share of at
tention at that term.
Gov. Brewer declines to state wheth-
er he has any evidence in readiness
to offer relative to irregularities in the
state prison management involving
other persons. However, his corps Of
Burns detectives have been exceeding
ly busy during the past few months
and it is more than probable that they
will be before the grand Jury prior tc
the adjournment of the term.
