The | Blessing) at Beerâ€"sheba, 23â€"25. ‘ _ Introductionâ€"There is a striking contrast between the character of Isaac and that of Abrazham, hisf father. Abraham is shown as the ‘ man of strong faith, magnanimous, hospitable, and courteous, wise‘ly and | capably governing his househo.d, and | prompt and courageous in an emerâ€" | geney, when the life and liberty of a kinsman are imperilled. Isaac is | aiso, no doubt, a ‘deeply pious man, but with much less distinction and !strength of character, a lover of | peace, meek and yielding when assailâ€" !Ied by hostile neighbors, and quite icvidently lacking in wise guidance { and contro! of his sons. Both are | represented as, on occasion, guilty of |the duplicity and falsehood which freâ€" i quently marked the Semitic character, |I. Isaac‘s Prosperity, 12â€"17. Isaac sowed in that land, that is, in the southern part of the Philistine country. It is evident that he and his people are changing, in part at least, their manner of life. They are beginning to cultivate the land, using, no doubt, the water of their we‘l‘s for purposes of irrigation. The rains in that region can only be deâ€" pended upon in the winter months, hence the sowing must be done in September or October. There are patts of Palestine toâ€"day in which wheat is said to yield on an average eighty, and barley, an hundredfold. The wells had been maliciously stopped, or filled up, by the Philisâ€" tines, who were evidently jealous and unpleasant neighbors. During the long, hot summer months these wells were the on‘ly source of supply of water for their flocks and for the irrigation of their gardens and vineâ€" yards. Isaac might have put up a stout resistance and might have deâ€" fended his wells, but for the sake of peace he yie‘ded and moved to the valley of Gerar. This valley, called by the Arabs a wady, had a stream flowing through it which dried up in the summer, but in the bed of which water could be found by digging. II. The Digging of Wells, 18â€"22. A well of springing water. _ The| Hebrew words mean "living water,"‘ that is, issuing from a spring, and] not surface water stored from a rain-' fall. The herdmen of Gerar illustrate one of the meanest traits in human character, jealousy or envy at the success of another. The fact that these Philistines had filled up the| wells showed clearly that they didi not need them. But they are unwil!-‘ ing to let Isaac‘s herdmen have them.i Isaac calls his well Esek, a Hehrew' name which means "contention." So| also Sitnah means "enmity," lnd! Rehoboth broad places, or "plenty ofl room." For now, they said, the Lordi hath made room for us. The patienco’ and â€" forbearance and peace-loving' spirit of Isaac, in contrast to the| jealous enmity and contentious attiâ€"| tude of his neighbors, are wholly adâ€"‘ mirable. No doubt he gained much: more in the end by the way of peace | than he would have gained by war.) Did not our Lord say, "Blessed are the meek?" + The last named well; was, probably, about twenty miles southwest of Beerâ€"sheba. III. The Blessing, 23â€"25. | (12, 16; Ps. 73:23; and many other passages. \ _ He builded on altar, as his father { had done, 12:7; 13:18. The home | was not made merely by the pitching ‘of his tent. The altar to God must ‘be built. For the altar symbolizes ‘God‘s presence, and sanctifies and .completes the home. Beerâ€"sheba beâ€" |\ comes henceforth to every Israclite a sanctuary and a place of sacred memâ€" ory, a place of refuge and of pilâ€" grimage, for ever associated with the name of Isaac. Beerâ€"sheba was an important sacâ€" red place in Old Testament times. Abraham had passed that way and had given the place its name, which! means, "the well of the oath" (21:| 31). It was here that Jacob, aided| by his mother, cheated Esau of his father‘s blessing, and so of the headâ€"| ship of his father‘s house, and it was! from this place that Jacob set out, cn his long jdurney northward to visit his mother‘s people (28:10). Elijah fled thither from the anger of Jezebe!, and it was a place of pilâ€" grimage in the days of Amos (1 Kings 19:3 and Amos 5:5). It is often spoken of as the extreme southâ€" ern boundary of Palestine, in the phrase "from Dan to Beerâ€"sheba." Fear not. The man of peace is blessed of God. In that blessing he is infinitely ricker than in the posâ€" session of many wells andâ€"much pasâ€" ture land for his flocks and herds. The assurance / am with thee is ofteon repeated in the faith,. See 28:15 Deut. 31:8, 23; Of Isaac it has been said that, "Rlasticity of endurance, which does not resist evil nor contend against it, but by patience and yielding overâ€" comes it, constitutes . his character, and in this lies his real claim to â€" Large nphfit beds have lately been discovered inâ€"the Philippines. comes it, constitutes and in this lies his greatness." # + $.S.

Let the child alone, just as you let the puppy alone when he turns from his plate with that funny look of mingled loathing and apology. You have too much sense to coax the puppy; you don‘t pretend that you are overcome with grief or that you are very angryâ€"you just let him _ alone. Pretty soon he begins to eat of his own accord, his stomach having reâ€" gained its tone through a brief rest. Watch your child‘s eating habits. If he eats too much, but especialiy if he eats too fast, not masticating propâ€" erly, insist that he come to meals regularliy and see that he takes time to eat deliberately. His diet must not be too s:oppy; he should have crackers and mi‘lk not more than once a day, but plenty of whole wheat or Graham bread and butter, water crackers, eggs, legumes, meat only at the noon dinner, and stewed fruits, rice pudding or baked apple for desâ€" When the loss of appetite is a symâ€" tom of real illness other signs will soon appear, and the family physâ€" ician will not long be at a loss. When there is tubereulosis or any other chronic disorder of infancy, the remedy is usually fresh air with codâ€" liver oil and nourishing but concenâ€" trated foods such as eggs, beef and mutton (not meat extracts), chocoâ€" late (an ounce or two a day), and one or two glasses of milk a day. The chi‘d shou‘d s‘eep in the open air and should be out of doors most of his waking hours. * Many a housewife would be pleased to exchange oncâ€"ha‘{ her weary steps for kitchen convem‘ences.

Superstition ho‘ds that it is unwiao' to offer a knife as a gift. Perlupl{ it is right, but I believe love is cut into more frequenty by the lack of proper cutlery than by receiving it from friends. No article of household equipment is used more frequently than kitchen knives. If dull and inefficient they not only haggle meat and bread but also the worker‘s nerves. . That‘s why I think every farm woman needs to take an invoice of her knives before the summer rush begins. Knives of good steel pay in the service they offer. .

If the blade is rounded at the top it will not pierce the orange or grapefruit shell. 1 am sorry for women who have noâ€" way of sharpening their knives except to wait until the menâ€"folks perform the magical stunt on the grindstone. There are so many good sharpeners on the market these days that it seems a pity for every home not to have one. Many of us have the carborundum: or steel sharpener which comes with carving sets. It can be purchased alone too. I consider it fine for putâ€" ting a satisfactory edge on fine steel. An eightâ€"inch blade on the sharpener is a convenient size. Its corrugaâ€" tions should be fine. As in using any other piece of equipment, there is one right way of using the carborundum. Hold the sharpener with the left hand, pointâ€" ing it slightly to the right; the knife is he‘d in the right hand with the edge of the blade against the carâ€" borundum at about a thirtyâ€"degree angle. Beginning near the hande of the knife and close to the point of the sharpener, the knifo is drawn }down toward the worker and off the sharpener. "How sha‘l I do my hair?" Well, that depends on your head. If it is nice and round, with a modâ€" erate‘y low forehead and a good hairâ€" line, you can go in for one of the flat coiffures that are so popular, and that brings out the lovely shape of your head. _If your forchead is high you will probably not want to wear your hair straight back, but will find more beâ€" coming a soft arrangement coming down a bit over the forehead. A thin or tired face usually looks much betâ€" ter with the hair a bit fluffv. by means of a low horizonta; figure eight or roll of hair across the back and a little softnoss over the ears. A short, thick neck should never be emphasized by a low hairdressing. Oftern a French twist or a crossâ€"over flat head arrangement is nico. This is especially true of mature women, to whom that close sweap of hair up from the neck usually proves very flattering. And another thing to reâ€" member if you are older is that the ears should showâ€"at least part of them. If the head or neck is long, hair should never be built up on top. Try instead for a broadening effect If the nose is prominent it should: be counteracted by a hair arrangeâ€"; ment placed at the back to build out | the haad correspondingly, so that: viewed from the side it looks bnl-| anced. | The smart style in short hair now is the headâ€"mo!ding, close effect, It should not be attempted un‘ess the shape of the head is worth seeing, and unless you have a very good hairâ€" cutter. Dark hair cut in this fashion and marceled close to the head is very. chic. Fair hair is less effective bobbed and can rarely be worn in such an extreme manner. The permanent wave is a great boon to women whose hair is sparse or lanky or won‘t hold a wave and looks terrible without it. A fuzzy permanent is ugly and not fashionâ€" able, but a good operator can put one in which looks nice and solves the waving problem for a who‘le sumâ€" mer. If you follow directions careâ€" fully, with the help of a friend you can get your permanent at home. The process often has a slight drying effect and so is specially beautifying to oiy hair. With the proper use of oil permanent waving need not make normal or dry hair ove>â€"dry. The good looks of any hairdressing depends on its suiting the head, and also on its being absojutely neat.

Add a little water or fruit julse, and By HAZEL RAWSON CADES Why Not Be Beautiful? STAINLESS STEEL Scalloped Apples. ° Young peoep‘e, in these days, often look with disdain upon the mannmers and ideas of the o.der folks. To brand a thing as "o‘dâ€"fashioned" is to them sufficient reason for discarding it, and to have to follow an outâ€"ofâ€"date custom is to them a cause for serious regret. Rarely is anyone justified in being ashamed of his parents. Although their dispositions may not be agreeâ€" able, and they may do unwise or unâ€" just things, yet they are our parents, and we should honor them. It is only narrow minds and seifish hearts that have no toleration for the hobbies and pet ideas of others. So let us reâ€" member that some day we shall be aged, if we live long enough, and very likely shall be found clinging to our habits ofstoday quite stubborn‘y, and we shall be deeply hurt if sneers or laughter meet our remarks and movements. Nevertheless, perhaps there is some reason for the attitude of youth toward age. It may be that older persons hold too fondly to the longâ€" ago, especially to its faults, and are too continually reminding the young of the "way we used to do." Mary was a wise young girl who saw that soon she wou‘d be moving in a circle of acquaintances in which her mother would be regarded as a "back number," because of her antiâ€" quated fashion of dress. This girl did not seoff at old styles, nor ridiâ€" eule her mother‘s appearance, as some girls do, for she dearly loved her mother, and besides she know that would defeat her purpose. Her crusade to break down her mother‘s prejudice against "modern foo.ishâ€" ness" was carried on with the most tactful persuasionâ€"such as mothers may we‘l take to heart if they would hold the confidence of their children today. She began by giving her mother little presents of dainty neckâ€" wear, a stylish handâ€"bag, "nifty" toilet articles and so forth. She oftem remarked upon the modish appearâ€" ance of her chum‘s mother, and in ‘numemus ways offected a gradual change in her mother‘s opinion. One day Mary found an old magazine with a story exactly suiting the situation She read it to her and comploted th revolution in her position regarding presentâ€"day methods.
