JACOB AND EsAu.

stitute OF Chicago.)

LESSON TExT-Gen. 2T.2s-3
GOLDEN TEXT--.Jehovah Is q God or
Judgment; blessed are all they that wait
for him" lisa. 90lS.
Jacob is one of the great figures
presented to us In the book OF Gene
sis. His birth and purchase OF the
birthright are recorded in Chapter %,
and in chapter 81 we have presented
his great sin.
1t is absolutely necessary to read
carefully all of this chapter before We
can properly present this lesson.
Moses did not record Jacobs decep-
ton because he commended 1t, but
rather as a warning to all who read
and ponder thereon. The Bible
spreads before us the sins of Gods
people as we'll as their virtues, which
ought to be comforting thought to
us all, who are sinners saved by
grace
!. The Deceit, w. 22-2e. Lying. du.
plicity, profanity, and compounded
felony, are presented in the prelimi-
nary verses to that section selected
for our study. Jacobs conscience re-
belled ". 12) yet he gladly listened
10 the voice of his unwise mother
who thought she knew best how to
circumvent Gods will see CHI. 25:2S,
25. %. This mothers foolish ambi-
ton and teaching had developed a
self-seeking, deceitfuI son. BY nature
Jacob was unlovely and the greatest
lesson we can learn from his life is
that he, 'cheater," should by the
grace of God be transformed into
Israel" a prince. he that hath power
with Cod
A Rough Man.
We first have presented the tenn.
peramental difference between these
| two brothers, then the story OF the
birthright, and lastly the stolen bless.
| ing. Esau was a rough man of the
chase, cunning, clever and skillful as
hunter. Jacob was plain man,
viz, one who inclined to the conven-
tionalities. He loved settled, quiet
home life, for he "dwelt in tents
| Again when we consider the episode
of the birthright we have set before
us another illustration Of the great
contrast Of these brothers. We dc
not value birthrights as do the Orien
tails, and further, we must remember
this is the story of Gods develop
ment of a chosen race. Esau, mas
tered by his appetite, governed b5
selfish instincts, gladly and fiippantiS
spurns-" despised"-his right. Ht
denied his responsibility to the fu
ture Of that race Of whom Abraham
was the first, and virtually said thai
nothing was OF value that did not
serve this present lifetime. Jacob
on the other hand, estimated this
birthright at it's supreme value, as o
the highest Importance.

great and vital interest, will be held

Paul AlISbrOOk.

On Monday morning, September
9Th, gloom was cast over the COM
munity of Roseneath township when
Mr.. and Mrs. w. c. Allsbrook re-
ceived the sad message that their
son, Paul, was dead, age Is years. 8
months and days.
He was taken i'll about three weeks
ago with malarial fever, which soon
settled in his head and face, causing
him to suffer greatly until he was
taken to St. Vincent hospital in Nor
folk and underwent an operation.
He stood the operation very well
and seemed TO be improving very
rapidly. His father went to see him
twice, and each time the physicians
said his condition was favorable, but
on Saturday afternoon a sudden
change came for the worse. The
physicians stated that the case had
terminated in spinal meningitis. A
telegram was sent at once to his
people, but owing to the fact that
the office at Scotland Neck was
closed on Sunday the message was
| not received and he passed away be-
fore his people could get there.
The remains were brought to Hob
good Tuesday morning and taken to
the family cemetery for burial, the
funeral service being conducted by
Rev. R. A. Mcfarland. The floral
offerings were beautiful, which gave
evidence of the high esteem for the
deceased.
He was a very industrious boy. al
WAYS labored diligently at home
also at school. Ne had an excep
tionally bright mind.
It seems very sad to see one Of
such qualities, as his, cut down II
the bloom of life; but God knowetf
best and doeth all things well. Hi
will be done, not ours. Those n
left behind should not grieve fo1
thew have the fond hope that he ha
gained eternal rest.
One year ago he left home as NJ
thought best,
And went among strangers but nae
great success;
So weep not bereaved ones for Jesu
has called him to rest.

He urges the farmers to get busy
and purify their seed from this dis,
ease, for it is only through the seed
that it can be entirely destroyed.

The travelling costume illustrated is
intended for going away wear and is
a Bechoff Davi model of light gray
worsted frightened by oriental sunray

rose and amber ON deep blhe velvet.
The skirt is finished with a new
shaped flounce cut away in shape to
show a velvet f.ounce beneath. The
hat of blue straw has shaded amber
ostrich tips at one side and patent
leather boots with buttoned tops of
dull calf complete the costume.
In the trousseau for another SOUTH

of creamy machine embroidery-now
so fashionable for costumes de luxe.
The tunic of solid and lacy embroid-
cry combined falls over a petticoat Of
flounced net, buttons of Persian silk
running down the tunic front and up
the sleeve, and a Persian silk bow
being set at the neck. The sash is
also of the gay Persian silk.
A dainty own illustrated has an
entirely new sash idea. This own
is of dotted net and Val lace flounc-
ing and the turquoise blue silk sash
is draped o~blfquely across the skirt as
Illustration shows. Straps and knots
of the turquoise silk also trim the lace
and net bodice. Another pretty dane

is pictured. This gown is of saffron

skirt and tunic and pearls are twisted
in the hair and around the neck.

back to show a pink crepe de chine
petticoat flounced with ST. Gall en-
broidery yelled with net.
