I. Jacob's Flight to Haran.
He lied from an outraged brother.
Ills deceit and cunnlug got him into
trouble. HI* long exile from home
was the result of his selfish ambition.
"Whatsoever a man soweth that shall
be also reap." Kebekuh made her plea
before Isaac for sending Jacob away,
stating her fear of Jacob’s probable
marriage with a daughter of Canuun.
when In reality she feared that Esau
would kill him. Isauc at once recog-
nized the wisdom of her suggestion.
He knew that the success or failure
of one’s life Is largely determined by
bis marriage. It was clear that If
Jacob were to continue lu the line of
the covenant blessing care must be
exercised In his marriage. Besides. It
Is a parental duty to see that chil-
dren are well married. Among Chris-
tians only marriage In the Lord Is
allowable (I Cor. 7:39). Isaac, alive
to Jacob’a destiny, Issued his com-
mand and bestowed upon him the
covenant blessing which had come
from Qod Almighty to Abraham (Gen.
17:1). The elements embraced In this
blessing are:
(1) A numerous offspring (v. 3).
(2) Possession of the promised land
(v. 4).
(3) And everything that la Included
In the Abrahamlc covenant (Gen. 12:
I- 3 and Gen. 15:1-8).
We should learn from the experi-
ence of Jacob.
1. Be sure your sin will And you
out.
Jacob deceived his father. He In
turn was deceived by his children.
2. That wrong home life hus Its
perils.
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 Esau that which
God had planned for Jacob.
II. Jacob at Bathal.
1. Tbe Ix>rd meets Jacob at Bethel
(vv. 10-10).
With a spirit clouded by home-
sickness on the one hand and by fear
on the o^ier, he had a dream that
night In which God appeared to him.
In this dream Jacob beheld a ladder ot
stair reaching from earth to heaven,
upon which angels were ascending and
descending. Above the ladder stood
the Lord who spoke to him. This lad-
der suggests a means of communica-
tion between earth und heaven, be-
tween man and God. Jesus Christ
Is the ladder which provides us a
means of communication with heaven
(John 1:51; 14:6; Heh. 10:10-20). Je-
sus became a real ladder to us, bridging
the chusm between earth und heaven,
lie wua a real man that He might
Identify himself with the race. He la
very God. really divine, that He might
lift us up to God and secure a recon-
ciliation with Him. Earth and heaven,
man and God. were separated by the
Introduction of sin, but through Christ
a means of Intercourse Is re-estab-
lished. This vision suggested to Jacob
that the only approach to Qod whs
through a mediator. The angels as-
cending and descending are heavenly
messengers which are sent to minister
lo man through the mediatory work of
Christ (Ileh. 1 :14). Gnd spoke to him
from the top of the ladder und assured
him that He Is (he God who entered
Into covenant with Abraham and re-
newed the same unto his father Ihhnc
(v. 13). This assurance embraced the
following:
(1) The possession of the lund (v.
18).
(2) A numerous offspring (v. 14),
(3) The promise of His personal
presence and preservation (v. 15).
This promise waa fulfilled In a mar
velous way with Jacob and la atlll be-
ing fulfilled with his seed.
HI. Jacob's Vow to the Lord (vv.
II- 22).
He set up ns a monument the stone
which he had had for a pillow. Ho
named the place Bethel, which means
the house of God. Jacob now vowed
that since God had so graciously obli-
gated himself to perform all this for
hint, he would enthrone God us the
Lord of bis life and give back to Him
one-tenth of all that was given to him.

•aid the Mud Kel.
Home of the Insects stopped twisting
and cruwling about, looking from their
little homes to thejlttle home of the
Mud Kel, und auld, In Insect lan-
guage :
"Why do they tuke pity on you)
“And who are ’they?’"
" ’They,’" said the Mud Eel, “are
people."
"Children, ton?” asked the Insects.
“Children, too," the Mud Eel
agreed.
“Well, now thnt ’they* have been
explained lo us you cun go on with
your story.”
"But ’they' haveu't been explained
to you. for I don't understuud them
myself,
"How can I explain what I don’t un-
derstand? People und children nre a
puzzle to me.” the Mud Eel continued.
"I don't understand them ut all.
“They talk queerly, they wulk queer-
ly, they .eat strange food.
“They talk und giggle. They have
funny Ideas. Children go to pluces
called schools—where they learn to
spell and read and write.
“How can 1 expluln all that?
”1 can’t
“For the life of me I don't see why
they want to know how to read and
spell and write.
“What good are auch things going to
do them? They aren’t given meals for
writing things down on a slat*.
“I know we never, never would be."
"Well,” said the Insects and snakes,
"we meant that we knew who you
meant by ’they.’
"We can't understand people onr-
aelvea.
“Certainly their ways are beyond
”oUr understanding. We don't know
why they eat the food they do, why
children go to school, why they walk
Instead of crawl und talk Instead of
hiss and whisper, and slug.
“We don't know why they wear
clothes and talk as they do and walk
sometimes with their arms entwined
with each other as they do.
"We don’t understand people our-
selves.
"But now tell us why the people pity
you. None of us can really under-
stand people It would seetu.
“So you might us well go on with
your story us best you cun, leaving
out such things neither or none of us
can understand—such us people und
their ways.
“And that Includes children and
their ways.
“So go on with your story. Mud
Eel.
"Pray continue.”
“1 am put neur the Insects," said
the Mud Eel. “and yet I belong to the
1 snake family.
“I am a younger cousin, or distant
relutlve of the Congo Snake, but I
have no hind legs.
"And that Is what bothers the
people.
"The keeper tells them 1 have gills
outside my body and they smile polite-
ly but are not much Interested.
“Then he tells them that I have no
hind legs, only u pair of front legs,
and they say to each other:
"’How very queer. Isn't thnt odd!
How very queer! Isn’t that odd!'
“Yes, they plly me und 1 don't wuuf
their pity.
“No, 1 don't want It.
“I don't need It. 1 am not here to
be pitied.
“All, how ofien I wish I could speak
people's language Instead of the lan-
guage of the Mud Eel uud I would say
to them:
'“Oh, children und people, why do
you think It la so queer, und pity me,
because I only huve one pnlr of legs?
'“You only huve one pulr of legs
yourselves-Mnd we think yours ure
queer.'
“I think that would quiet them all
right. Yes. that would make them
stop thinking we were so odd.
“At leust I hope It would,’’ '.be Mud

Naboth
a HAII was the uuine of a wealthy
a*. king of Samaria, whose palace
wua built upon lund which udjnlned
the pro|iert,v belonging to one named
Naboth. Upon this property there
was a very wonderful vineyard which
the King Allah greatly desired. He
endeavored to negotiate with Naboth
tor the aide of the vineyard. Naboth
refused lo sell It because he prized It
very highly, having come Into Its pos-
session through an Inheritance from
hls father. The refusal of Naboth to
sell the vineyard greatly ungered the
king. He was so angry Hist he would
neither eat nor sleep. Jezebel, hls wife,
thinking the condition of the king
rather serious, and wishing to please
him. promised that she would secure
the vlneyurd for him. She secretly
sent messengers to the men In posi-
tions of |H>lltlcal authority, requesting
that a fast day be proclaimed, on
which occasion Naboth was to be
highly honored by having a place near
the front line of march. But there
were ulso two messengers especially
engaged for the purpose, who were to
go before Naboth and at the appointed
time were to hear false witness
against him. The charge was to lie
that he cursed the king; therefore
had committed treason. Further In-
structions were given that as a pun-
ishment for hls crime he was to he
stoned to death. The plan of Jezebel
was carried through exactly as she
had commanded, for the communica-
tions she sent were signed In her hus-
band's name and were sealed with
the royal seal. Having succeeded In
her vicious scheme she hastened to
make known to the king that Naboth
waa dead and that the way waa clear
for him to take the vineyard he so
much desired.
Convinced of the death of Naboth,
Ahah, In the spirit of triumph, went to
the vineyard to claim It. As he
neared the garden gate he met a man
he had not seen for many years. He
waa a man strange In appearance,
ascetic Id hearing, and possessed a
wonderful power and peace, which waa
expressed In his face. It wns the
prophet Elijah. looking Into the face
of Ahoh. Elijah spoke; “In the place
where dogs licked the blood of Naboth
shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine."
This was too much for Ahalu HI*
conscience smote him as with a sword
at hls heart. He lifted up hls hand*
and cried In despair to the aged
prophet: “Hast thou found me, O mine
enemy.” Ahab thought he could
take possession of the vineyard, hut
Instead he met at the gf^te of the vine-
yard an Incarnate conscience, which,
pointing Its Unger of condemnation at
him, cried; "Thou art a murderer,
thou canst not take the vineyard with
murderous hands."
There Is a story related of a rec
tain king who wore a very valuable
ring which gave hla finger a sharp
prick whenever he was tempted to do
something wrong. For a long time
he heeded the warning given by the
ring, but one day when he desired to
commit a very great crime tne ring
gave him an tmusually sharp prick
which drpw blood to the finger. This
so enraged the king that he drew the
rlnq from hls finger and threw it
away.
It Is an easy matter to throw nway
a mere ring, hut It Is not so easy to
cast aside the warnings und-convic-
tions of conscience. Conscience, which
George Washington called “A little
spark of celestial fire," bums Inside
the human heart. It Is a great beacon
light which no one can escape and
from which It Is Impossible for any
person to run away. The Inner voire
of conscience will give us no rest until
we have heeded Its warning or made
amends, to the best of our ability, for
our misdeeds. No person can forglvt
himself.

Tablet Throws Light
on Noah and the Ark
In 1872 George Smith of the British
museum found an Interesting tablet In
Nineveh. The inscriptions were de-
ciphered by Assyrlologlsts soon after-
ward, but Paul Haupt, professor of
Assyrlology at Johns Hopkins univer-
sity, has recently rendered a more
complete translation. He first re-
stored the tablet to make It legible.
Professor Haupt told the American
Orlentul society at Philadelphia that
the Inscriptions relate the story of
Noah und the urk. According to this
account, Noah cut trees down In the
Jungle and made an ark consisting of
six decks which were divided Into sev-
en compartments. Two-thirds of the
ark was under water when It was
afloat. Part of the translation reads:
“For our food I slaughtered oxen and
killed sheep—day by day. With beer
and brandy, oil and wit*. I filled large
Jars, as with water of a river.”—Path-
finder Magazine.

While Dr. W. B. Caldwell, of Mon-

47 yeurs, knew that constipation was
the curse of advancing age, he did not
believe that a "purge” or “physic”
every little while was necessary.
To him, It seemed cruel that so
many constipated old people had to
be kept constantly “stirred up” and
half sick by taking cathartic pills, tab-
lets, salts, calomel and nasty oils.
In Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin he
discovered a laxative which helps to
"regulate" the bowels of old folks.
Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin not only
causes a gentle, eaay bowel movement
but each dose helps to strengthen the
bowel muscles, shortly establishing
natural "regularity." It never gripes,
