as Jacob learned and as we must
learn if we have the Penuel ex-
perience, our striving with God
must he not challenging but cling
ing, not contending against God
but depending upon God. Happy
is he to whom God can say; "Thou
hast striven with God and with
men, and hast prevailed" (6)
Commended by Gcd. 1t was a
crisis in Jacobs career and fitting
ly it was marked by change in
his name. Freely he confessed
that heretofore he had deserved
the name of Jacob the deceiver;
now, in view of his power from
God, won not physical strength but
by spiritual dependence, he was
given the royal name of Israel, a
friend with God. (7) Identification
with God. Already Jacob knew
that "the man" who had wrest-
led with him during the night was
God and at dayhreak he had asked
a blessing from the Wrestler
whom he recognized as God. Why
then, did he ask God to give his
name? Was it warranted bold
ness Of faith? Was it an unjustl-
fled curiosity? Was it suggested
from his own change Of name
which might imply also a new
name for God? At any rate, God
disclosed his identity to Jacob in
that conquering touch, in the ans
wer to his prayer, in giving him a
new name, in granting him an in
ner calm, in opening before him
the way into the Land of Promise.
(S) Blessing from God. BY the
wells Of Bcersheha Jacob the sup
planter had by cunning and fraud
secured the blessing Of his father
Isaac. But by the ford Of the
Jabhok, Israel, a prince with God
now secured through prevailing
prayer to God and complete de-
pendence ON God far higher and
greater blessing. "IIe blessed hin

ficulty in the path ahead. (9) Vic
tory Through God. The blessing by
the brookside made that a spot H.
lustrious in Hebrew annals and in
the history of the good. What Is
worthier Of perpetuation than the
scenes and the stories of the
great spiritual struggles Of those
who strive with God and men and
prevail? So the spot of the wrest-
ling was called penuel, which
signifies that there the face of
God was seen. But who can see
the face Of God and live? Jacob
however, says; "My life is pre-
served !" And so it came to pass
that very day when unarmed he
met his angry and armed brother
Esau; and later as he dwelt UNI
molested in the land of Canaan;
and later still as he and all his
family found refuge from famine
as they were nourished by Joseph
and Pharaoh in the land of Egypt.
Can we face the future without
fear unless and until in humility
and faith we are permitted to
come face to face with God?

Suffering On Bataan

The full story of what happened on Bataan PENN
sua cannot yet be revealed but Nat Floyd correspond
ent of the New York Times tells enough to show that
the American people suffered from illusions down to
the moment of the actual surrender
For example, Mr.. Floyd says that "just before the
fall, high eighty per cent of typical regiment
had malaria, thirty per cent. had bacary dysentery,
ten per cent had amoebic dysentery and had hook
worm.
'@Ths," he said, "s indicative of the condition of
the when the Japanese started their last big drive
reinforced by men, planes and tanks"
Mr.. Floyd pays high tribute to the spirit and fight
ing quality of the men, both American and Filipino
Bataan. He describes four major actions from late in
January, when the American line drawn half way
down the peninsula, until late in March, when the Japa
made preparations for their final assault In these
engagements, some $500 Japanese slain and
American positions relieved of dangerous threats
Significantly, Mr.. Floyd says that knowing the
Japanese from almost three years in Toyko, l deter
mined to be captured Any risk of death still
seemed better to than suffering the indigntes of
slavery; above all, slavery under the Japanese.
The main worries of soldiers food, sick
and the future In January, the troops went
two meals day. with poor quality of corned beef
hash, salmon, BEANS bread rice staples. The
drug supply was low The men suffered from malaria,
dysentery, malnutrton beri-beri, scurvy and hook
They were, at the end tortured by fatigue and
the lack of Sleep Besides they had to face wounds and
death.
The story of Bataan reveals the fighting spirit of
American troops and should make people at home real
ze that their socaed sacrifices not to be mentioned
in connection with the bravery and suffering of those
under fire.
