Romans 12: 2. - The Lesson In Its Setting. - Time.--God's appearance to Jacob at Bethel occurred in. B.C. 1784. Jacob was married in B.C. 1777. Joseph was born B.C. 1752, The reconcilia- tion between Esau and Jacob took place in B.C. 1749. Place--Bethel is located 12 miles north of Jerusalem on the road to Shechem. Haran is in Mesopotamia on the great trade route from Nine- veh to Carchemish. Penuel was near the brook Jabbok which flowed into the Jordan River about 25 miles north of the Dead Sea. "And Jacob was awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely Jehovah is in this place; and I knew it not. And -- he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other than the House .of God, and this is the _ gate of Heaven." (See Job 33: 156-- 18.)--Bethel was become a place where Jchovah is, where the House of God is found, where the nature of Heaven is discovered. It is most sig- nificant, and may I not say interest- ing, that when this great phrase, "the House of God," first appears in the Scriptures of truth, it has no refer- ence to a temple, or synagogue, no reference to a building. The House of God. Where is it? Just where you are. "And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of it. "--Often in the night we make great resolutions, we pray carnestly and find our hearts moved anew 'w.th the love of God. We are st'rred to new endeavors by the read- ing cf the Bible, and we promise God and oureeives that the next day will Le a new beginning for us. But so often when £i¢ morning light breaks end a new cay has begun, and all the common, famil'av things of the world are seen aga.n, there is a danger that the hopes and vows of the night will be put away, and the day after will Le no different frédm the day before. "And be eallod the name of that pace Beth-el: but the name of the city was Luz at thé first." --The werd Iethol is -formed of two Hebrew vor's, Be th, which means house, and i ON 'ch s the name for God found thrands of t'mos in the Bible in the : Flohim. Therefore this name roans "the House of God," just as th: name Bethlehem means "the louse of Bread." "And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If Cd will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will g.ve me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, so that 1 come azan to my foto's house in peace, and Jehovah wil Pe my Gold. Taen this stone, whet IT have set un for a piilar, shall be Col's hovse: and of all that thou. shat give me I will surely 'give the "h.vnto thee! --Jacob's promise to tor ¢rect an o'tar here for-the wor- him ef Cod was subsequently kept : 1,715). This is the only time in the Poo cf Genes's that we have any r-ference ta the giving of one-tenth of re reseossicns fo the Lord, but, es De. I Bo Meyer kas said: "There is no reason to doubt that this be- came the principle of Jacob's life, and if so, he shames the major'ty of Ctr st'an peosnle, most of whom do not give on pineiple, and give a very uncertain and meagre pereentage of their ircome. 3 "And Jacob and was left alone; there wrestled a man with him until" the breaking of the day. And when ho saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh stra'ned, as he wrestled with him."--God saw that what Jacob needed was first to discover his own weakness, and that, in order that he might discover as he never had done before, the power of God in whom he believed. On the threshold of posses- sion of the land, he must be brought to that attitude of soul in which he would be willing to reccive the pos- session as the gift of God; rather than: imagine that he had gained it by his own cleverness and his own wisdom. It is not said that Jacob wrestled with the man, but that the man- wrestled with Jacob; there is no-question that Jacob wrestled to, but the beginning of the struggle was on the side of God, "And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh, And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. -- Undoubtedly Jacob knew that he was not only facing a great crisis of his life, but that his own stubborn will that night would be broken, and that it was God himself with whom he was dealing, and he knew that this was _ the hour when he must either receive A new blessing from God or live as a failare the rest of his days, The D--3 hollow of his' desire to retain God binds God to us. . All God's struggling with us has been aimed at invoking it, and all God's fullness responds to it. = Prayer is power. It conquers God, 'We over- come God when we yield to God. When we are vanquished, we are . victors. (See'a rich comment on this struggle in Hosea 12, 4). "And he 'said unto him, What fis thy name? And he said, Jacob. And he said, Thy name shall be called no. more Jacob, but Israel: for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed."--The name "Jacob", supplanter," while the name "Israel" comes from a root meaning "to be chief; hence the name means as we have seen before, means "a "prince," and, with the termination "el, the word means "prince of God." It was a prophecy of the new type of victory over men which he would win because God had won a victory over him. - If a man will pre- "vail with God, he will do so in the hour in which he is mastered by God. "And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name, And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. And Jaco) called the name of the place Penicl: for, said he, I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."-- The word Penuel (Peniel) means "the face of God," and must have been close to the Jabbok River, though there is no place near there bearing this name today. (See Ex. 33: 20,; Deut. 4: 33;~Judges, 6: 22, 23), Fel- lowship with God changes Jacob to Israels. Fellowship with God gives insight' and foresight, peace and patience, calm and courage in every emergency. Fellowship with God dis- penses with subterfuges, natural craft, and clever resourcefulness. Not by unworthy expedients, not b, moral human acts, not by natural energy, but in union and communion with God, all grace and blessing becomes ours. We must see the face of God. MUSICAL PILLOWS Some time will, no doubt, -clapse before British trains are equipped with musical pillows, the invention of New York engineers. But their value as antidotes to tedium and weariness on long-distance journeys cannot be challenged. Hidden in each pillow is a min'ature radio and anyone who dons the pair of earphones protrud- ings from it can-doze off as he pleases --to the accompaniment of classical music, a frenzied debate, or some crooner's ravishing lullaby. Mean- while, not a whisper reaches other passengers sharing his compartment. Australians, too, have adopted a similar novelty.

It ranks with the great historical romances of America, this tale of Jesse Ellison, his wife "Margaret, and their four children. Jesse Ellison had fought in the murderous forest battles of 1812. Lithe as a panther, hs aim with rifle or knife was deadly. When he married a belle of Cincinnati he did. not tame easily. He took his gentle bride to the pioneer country of Western Ohio. But in 1837, Merkumville was no longer pioneer country. The Ellison tav- ern prospered, but Jesse saw his: children degenerating and he fear- ed he was losing the love of his wife. He 'decides to go on and escape the intrusion of civiliza- tion -- to give his family the freshness and innocence of a new land. They find it, and at the same time, adventure, love, drama of settlement and struggle for ex- istence.

What would be the best: way of getting fertilizer on' the potatoes, and what kind of fertilizer do you think would give the best crop ?--M. J. P., 'Wellington Co. Answer:--If you are planting your potatoes with a plow, strike out the furrow, then draw in 1%" to 1" of soil on top or m'xing it with the fertilizer, then drop the potatues and cover them with the plow or by hand. If you are planting them with a hoe, dig the potato holes, drop a little fertilizer, pull in %" to 1" of soil, 'drop the potato pieces' and proceed as usual, We have obtained best results from 4-8-10 fertilizer applied at 750 Ths. per acre. If this fertilizer is sown | broadcast on the soil and worked in, you will not get as good results as it applied the way we have described, Broadcasting results in 'a 'large 'amount "of the fertilizer being fixed in insoluble form so the immediate crop does not get the full benefit of it.

Would be glad if you could give us the right amount of the different chemicals to use to, say: a ton, of the finely ground lime- stone."--C. A. M, Gray Co. Answeri--Regarding lime as a filler. quite a little bit has been said 'about this with limited justification.' Of course, any free lime "that there is in a fertilizer will function just as "any other lime applied to the soil, but in the higher brands of fertilizer - there is'room for Bo little filler that the good it would do would be very, very small.

Grow Mustard South Alberta is going to add a little to the flavor of living. We're growing our own mustard now.
