SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON

In the primitive life of all peoples
are stories and legends that are
not always marked by high
moral conceptions. When these
become incorporated in later his
to-ical records we discriminate
between the good and the bad; and
we must do the same in these
stories of the early life of Israel,
remembering that the records
we're not written until long after the
events. We ought to admire the
honesty and spiritual courage with
with which the Biblical writer's set
down the unfavorable and the dark
as well as the favorable and the
bright. 1t is this that makes the
Bible so notable in it's integrity
Jacob had to escape from the
wrath of Esau, and his mother
helped 10 get him away. But
despite the blessing of his father
he wasn't happy. Worn out, as
the sun went down, and as darkness
came on, he lay down with stones
for a pillow. Even a tired man
in that situation might expect
restless sleep and unhappy
dreams; but Jacob had a dream
that threw him into fear, and
brought him face to face with God.
Had he been only fearful, that
would have been the end of the
matter; but the best in Jacob
came out, and the revolution that
was to make him a better man
began. His vow to God was in the
nature of bargaining vow-if
you do so much for me, I'll do so
much for you. But he made a
pillar-altar out of his pillow of
stones, and poured oil on it as an
act of worship. ..
Thus he made a religious be-
ginning. A man who begins to
be religious, can get better re-
ligious experienced better re-
ligion. He can grow in grace. 1t
is the man who never makes a
beginning who comes to nothing;
and Jacob did come to something
better. Bethel was the first step;
Pencil Genesis $500 saw him
really changed man.
