And this was not until after hi!
ons had made their name odiotus it

heir longer stay there unsafe. Th<
:ommand to go back was therefor<
oth reasonable in p-int of time an<
ender in respect to language. Th<
lisgraceful and perilous events tha
ad recently taken place in Jacob'
amily must have produ~ced in him
strong desire to remove without de
lay from the vicinity of Shechem, an<
at Bethel he would not only be re
leased but be established in a spo
hat woul'd revive the most deligh:u
ind sublime recollections. And hov
mch he felt the totuchirg nature o
the appeal 's evidenced by the imme

and go to Bethel.

For us to go back to Bethel and renev
Dur covenant wiLh the Lord. Am
eside, this is our commrn:on season
time when gathering around th
Lord's table we reconsecrate our
;elves to Him.
And are not some of us in Jacob'
plight? Isn't the old story o
racobs forgetting or neglectin ghi
rows repeated every day? Isn't it t<
ome extent the experience of us all
[t so frequently happens that vo~w
nade in great crices are forgotten og
eglected when those crises are past
hat I feel safe in saying that ther<
tre some here today who have nol

Oh, isn't it time to go back to
Bethel.
We have all at different times
made these vows consecrating ot'r all

then ever and anon taking back. And
surely it is high time that we all
11should go back to Bethel and mrke
there an altar and heap fuel upon it
again as if the flame had never been
kindled before.
That is what Jacob did at the di
vine command. He delayed no
lo'nger. but at once went to Bethel.
Nor did he go alone: he called his
hosehold with him to repentance and
to renewed consecration. With feel

thought of his long forgotten vow,
