His deceit and cunning got him into trouble. ^ His long exile from home was the result of his selfish ambition. "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap.” Itehekab made her plea before Isaac for sending Jacob away, stating her fear of Jacob's probable marriage with a daughter of Canaan, when in reality she feared that Esau would kill him. Isaac at once recog nized the wisdom of her suggestion. He knew that tiie success , or failure of one’s life is largely determined by his marriage. It was clear that if Jacob were to continue hi the line of the covenant blessing care must be exercised in his marriage. Besides, it v is a parental duty to see that chil- J dren are well married. Among Chris- f tians only marriage in the'-TLord is allowable (I Cdr. 7:3!». Isaac, alive to Jacob’s'destiny, issued his com mand and bestowed upon him the covenant blessing which had come from Ood Almighty to Abraham (Gen. 17:1). The elements embraced in this blessing are: (1) A numerous offspring (v.'ff). ^ 42) PossessitHi of the promised land ~ iv. 4>r (3) And everything lhat is included ' in the Abrahaiuic covenant (Gen. 12: ^1-3 and Oen. We should learn from the experi dice of Jicoh. - 1. Be sure your sin will lind you out. Jacob deceived Ids father. }le In turn was deceived by his children. 2. That wrong home life has its peril*. Isaac knew that the blessing was to be Jacob's, yet he planned for Esau to have the place of prominence. He was willing for- the sake of a little venison to give to Ksati that which God had planned for Jacob. II. Jacob at Bethel. L The lAird meets Jai'ob at Bethel <vv. 10-15). With a spirit clouded by home- sickness on the oua hand and hy fear on tiie other, lie nad a dream (hut night in.which God appeared to him. In this dream Jacob lieheld a ladder or stair reaching from earth to heaven, upon which angels were ascending and descending. Above the ladder stood (lie Lord wtio spoke to him. This lad der suggests a means of communica tion between earth and heaven, be tween man and God. Jesus Christ Newt from WOtiston Williston, May 23.—Mm.
