INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—What Does It Mean to Be Honest? YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—Learning from Experience. I. Jacob's Birth (25:21-20). In unswer to Isaac’s prayer, a seed was given unto him. Before Jacob’s birth God revealed unto Rebekah the fact that he should have the place of pre-eminence. “The elder shall serve the younger.” In this God reversed the ordinary law concerning the posi tion of the elder son. The act of tak Ing hold of Kami's heel as he was horn. Indicated Jacob’s nature. The name Jacob means “supplanter.” II. Jacob's Schemes (23:27-34; 27:1 20). 1. He secured Ksau’s birthright (23:27-34). It was right for Jacob to have the birthright since It was according to God'e plan aa revealed to Rebekah, hut his achena? to get It was repre henslhle. He took advantage of a brother's weakneas to drive a sharp bargain. 2. Secured his father's blessing (27:1 29). (1) Was requested to get v**nl»oa for his father. (2) Kehekah'a scheme (vv. 3 33). It was God's plan that Jacob should he at the head, hot He did not need the sin of Jacob and his mother to bring It aU>ot. HI. Jacob's Flight to Hjran (rh. 28). Jacob's deceit and cunning got him Into trouble. He na* cimii»elled to flee from his outraged brother. He now l»egNii tu reap what he had sown. 1. Jacob's vision at Bethel (23:10 15). Jacob not only had to flee to save hla life, hut he had to leave home and mother. When night overtook him. he »as obliged to sleep In a field with a •tone for a pillow. It was under such rlrcumsinncea that the lx>rd gave him the aooderful vision at Bethel. (1) He saw a ladder reaching from earth to heaven (v. 12) Jesus Christ Is the lad dar. connecting earth and heaven for ua (John 1 :51). (2) He saw angels of God U|»on the ladder (v. 12). Theae angels aere divine helpers to render needed assistance along life * way. (3) The liord standing above the ladder (vv. 13-17). To show Jat-ob that the ladder did not reach merely Into space God appeared and talked with him. a. He declared that He was the Ond of Abraham and of Isaac, thua assuring Jacob that the same favor that was over hla father* w.i* over him (v. 13). b He renewed the covetmot a* to the land. Though Jnrob a ns now fleeing from the lainl. the covenant would not fall. (t. 13). c. He assured him of a numerous seed (v. 14). d. The divine presence vGlh £*cob ^v. 1M. Though he had sinned. God wa* niili him. e Jacob should i*e brought again Into the land (v. 13) 2. Jacob's vow (vv. 18-22). His vow included three thing*. (1) Dedication of himself to God (v. 12). (2) K*inhM*hment of worship (vv. IS, 19) (3) Consecration of hi* substance (v. 22). IV. Jacob's Return to Canaan (chaps. 31-33). 1. The Lord Instructs him (31:11-21). Twenty years have elapsed since his experiences at Bethel. These years were spent in I'adun-aram with Ids mother's people. Here he served Laban for twenty years. Though it was the purpose of God for him to return, he took clandestine leave of Laban. Italian pursued him in anger, but God ap peared to Laban and forbade him to lay hands upon Jacob. 2. Jacob on the way (Gen. 32). Though Jacob fled from Laban's pursuit, a more formidable enemy faced Mm in the person of Ksau. (1) Jacob meeting the angels (v. 1). (2) Jacob praying (vv. 9-12). Not receiv ing a reply from Ksau. Jacob cast himself upon God in prayer. (3) The angel wrestling with Jacob (vv. 24- 32). He continued to wrestle until the approach of morning, not knowing that It was God In human form wrestling with him. God humbled him by dis locating his thigh. When thus hum bled, he quit wrestling and clung to God. He got the blessing when he. con scious of his weakness, laid hold upon God. (4) A new name (v. 28). He was no longer Jacob, the “supplanter,” hut Israel, a “prince of God." His new name was given him after he had a new nature. bar# studied tbo locuat for emtuhaa.

They bare flown In aolld pha lanxes from Africa to Kurland; swarms have been seen at sea twelve hundred miles from the nearest land. Apparently most of them remain for years In remote desert regions; then something within them Impels the ad vance upon man’s gardens. The gulls once saved Salt Lake City from a locust Invasion, and the grate ful citizens raised a monument to their winged saviors. In the old days our plains farmers kept flocks of tur keys, regarded as the locusts’ might iest enemies. But apparently the plow was more potent still, for when the plains went Into cultivation the great breedings of the locusts ended, and the Rocky mountain locust that rav aged the prairie states in the 70s and 80s is a rare Insect today. The Rus sians have had some success with poi son gas distributed by airplane; but airplanes are not always readily avail able when the swarms begin to fly. In most of the Arab countries today a flight of locusts is still as appalling as in the day of Joel. Carthage Made Great by Its Able Leaders Ancient Carthage was the world’s first experiment In straight plutocracy. Its frame of government was much similar to that of Rome. Its ruling families governed through a senate, checked in one way or another hy a popular assembly. Some of the ruling families kept power hy alliance with the public, but what really madevthe city great was the ability of a few men, many of them of the Barddae family—Hanno, Hamllcar, Hasdrubal and. above all. Hannibal. Yet the spirit of the city differed from that of Home. Its people were st once more oriental and more com mercial. Its religion was a weird af fair. with the sacrificing of children In the burning mouth of a god. And Its trading spirit went so far aa to weak en Its strength. Ita nierrenarles were good fighter*, while they were paid, hat In the end the Roman legion, manned by citizens of the republic, brought them to the ground. Frascati sad Tascalua* One of the mont delightful excur sions from Rome la south to Fraacatl and Tuaculum This section Is higher than Home, snd cooler, so It hss be come s favorite summer resort for Romans and foreigners alike. There are many beautiful villas owned by famous Roman families, and often the public la admitted to the gardens of ancient trees and splashing fountains, and to the Interior courtyards and galleries. It is a hard climb to see them all. ao many people prefer to hire little donkeys before leaving Krasreti. The roefl to Tuaculum wa* built by the ancient Rrenans—Cicero's chariot used often to pam over It on the wav to hla summer place, and all tlie patrician* came this way to the theater which !* in a tine state of preservation to this day. - Philosophic Tlkle Once upon a time there was a man who discovered that he could run faster from a Lfon than he could after a Rabbit. One day while marveling I over the fact that the Rabbit always j got away when he chased It. and that in escaping from a Lion he always ran Taster than any Rabbit was ever known to run. It came to him that If he could only he chasing hunniea at the same time that he wa* fleeing Lion* he would always be able to capture the one at tho same time that he was getting away from the other. After that he always had Rabbit Stew for dinner any day he got be tween a Lion and a Rabbit, and he went looking for Lions every day.— Kansas City Times.

They are all above us and beyond us. and for them we are not to account, but the talent given in our keeping, we are held to render its re turn with something added. Progress is the law of life, and progress is the product of doing. Our work Is here and it is within our grasp and power to do our best. We cannot advance In this life, by asking that our work he done for us, nor If we possessed un told wealth would we be content— Sparks. Historic Colonial Mansion The Wythe house in Williamsburg, Va., was the home of George Wythe, one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. He was) the flrst professor of law in America, teaching at the College of William and Mary. Among his pupils were John Marshall. Thomas Jefferson and James Monroe. It was In the George Wythe house that George Washington, with Lafay ette and Rocbamheou, planned the battle of Yorktown. All in tba Sparing Printers have The recent death of a abow girt, whose health had been broken through dieting to keep her figure, brings to light a more or less standard contract which beauties sign with music-show producers. It states: “It Is express ly made port of this agreement, that if at any time you should, during the term of said arrangement. Increase in weight more than sixteen pounds, or decrease In weight more than ten pounds, or let the dimensions of any part of your figure vary more than one-half Inch from, tb^e following: weight, 115; neck, 12% Inches; bust, 34; upper arm, 11; lower arm, 7%; waist, 20; hips, 34; thigh, 18; calf, 12; ankles, 8%; then and in that event w’e shall have a right to cancel this contract upon giving you one week’s notice.” Measurements, of course, vary with each girl. Radio Chat Short-wave wireless telephone com munication with far-distant points on the globe depends upon many factors which wireless engineers have chart ed, with the result that. If one wishes to broadcast to Java, Madagascar, South Africa, Germany or any other place, it is a simple matter to find out the wave length, the time of the i year and the time of the day when one will be most successful. * Not long ago a radio engineer was conducting experimental communica tion with a station in Sydney, Aus tralia, where a man named McDonald was operating the apparatus. They chatted about this and that, and then McDonald Introduced bis wife to the American. “This is Schenectady,” said the American. “Csn you say Schenectady?'’ “Oh, yes," said Mrs. McDonald. But what does It mean?" “It's the name of a city. It means the river valley beyond the pines.” “How clever I" said Mrs. McDonald. • • • Ho, Hum! Commissioner Whalen Is authority for the statement that New York la one of the safest cities lo the country, as far as burglary, assault and rob bery go. Basing his flgares on every 100.000 In population, he recently told Insurance men that New York has, each year. 73.6 of these three crimes per 100.000 persona, while Loe Angeles has 331 J, Chicago 170.4. Detroit 161.8, snd Cleveland 288J. That's a com fort on s dark night here, but wbst about Los Angeles? • • • ** Reeao. Why Tourists returning from Paris aren’t | bringing In as much jewelry as they used to, according to customs oAclals, and one of the reasons la the ambition of Parisian salesmen to collect re wards. The story of a couple who spent their honeymoon In Paris Is typical. A jewelry salesman visited them at their hotel, and persuaded the bridegroom to purchase a bracelet for his wife. “Ifa cheaper over here," h? sa!d : “and you can smuggle It in. Here: i’ll show you how." And he showed the girl how to wear the bracelet under her glove to escape detection. »-»■»** i »■> Tbej purchased the bracelet, snd the salesman, armed with Information concerning the boat they were taking home, warned United States agents or an attempt to smuggle jewelry.
