STBIKlSe FflWEB OTeOD' One by One Man's Faults Are Overcome His Choice of Better Things. by Few Biblft characters furnish us B more ntriking illustration of the wonderful change that may be wrought in a man's life by the pow- er of God than does that of Jacob, Both in heredity and training he was handicainied. His mother was deceitful and treacherous and we are little surprised that her son in- herited so nuR'h evil leiuleney. The "birthright'' deal revealed in him a cunning deception and deep sel- fishness. He was inwardly, out- waidly and thpnif^h and through a liai. How is it that he became a chosen servant of God and a chan- nel through which givit blw=sings were transmitted td the human race ? How is it that he standsi out as one of the three great men in early Jewish history '! In the first place, he was not the man to sit down and whimper over the hardness of his lot, saying fate had fixed for him his destiny. HE WAS UP AND DOING with a pa.ision to achieve. In the course of his life and the success with which it was crowned he teaches us this great lessonâ€" ;-that a man need not be the victim of heredity and evil circumstances â€" a man can rise above them. In the second plaee, Jacob was a dreamer and followed in the light of his dream, his ideal. He was not a man of passing whims and impul- ses, but a man with a purpose. His stance is recorded of their raising thd dead on this mission ; but even that was accomplished in the later labors of the apostles (Acts 9. 40; 20. 10). 9-15.

One coat and sandals wore 'o sufiBce ; they were to be without even a staff to help them on their toilsome journeys. Why ? First, their mission was too urgent for them to be cumbered with ex- tra luggage ; second, their work idea' keeps him moving onward with a deliberate, settled purpose through years of hardship, toil, pa- tient waiting, exile, each year ad- ding something to his success until he rises a giant in character and , was worthy of their sustenance, strength.^ How different from his | u-Ia.

In th'* third place, Jacob was a man who desired FllIKNDSHIP WITH GOD. It may have been the consciousness of his own meanness which led him 1x3 seek divine aid in overcoming hi-, innate disposition. This was tlie dominating influence under which we see him gradually gaining the victory over his evil tendencies. His course took him through the hard struggle, but he goes up from it a new man, softened, subdued and purified â€" a prince with God and men. What God did for Jacob he can and will do to-day for any and all who wish to rise to place of honor and trust and be a blessing to the as it it had brought a heathen's de- filement.
