Isaac’s Purpose Regarding the BIrtbriflKt (27:1-4). •The Infirmity o f old age reminded Isaac that he should set his house in jorder. The particular matter needing attention was the determination as to ,Who should be the head o f the house when he was gone, As to whether Isaac, knew what God had told Be* bekah concerning Jacob's priority we are not told (Gen. 25:23), but it is .evident that he lacked spiritual die eernment, being under the sway o f his appetite. Even though he was Ignorant o f God's plan as revealed to Bebekah Esau’s action in marrying, heathen women (Gen. 20; 84, 35), ought to have convinced Isaac that Esau was unfit to be the head of the house which was In line of the covenant blessing. II. Rebekah’o Scheme to Frustrate Uaac’e Plan (vv, 5-17). Having heard Isaacs instructions to Esau, she took steps to divert the fa­ ther’s blessing from Esau to Jacob. She knew It was God’s will that Jacob should have therblrthright, but had' no scruples as to what method should be used in it's accomplishment. , 1. Bebekah’s instructions to Jacob (w . 5-10),, She sent Jacob to bring two kids from the goats, promising that she would make savory meat, such as Isaac loved: Sh e ,knfew. that' Isaac’s weak spot was his stomach. 2; Jacob’s hesitancy (w* 11-17). He foresaw the difficulty and danger which confronted him. His hesitancy was Hot because he had conscientious scruples against doing the deed, but was afraid o f being found 'ou t.' Some have a desire to do evil, but refrain from it because they arc afraid o f be­ ing, caught, Bebekah undertakes.to bear the nurse that may come, so Jacob's scruple* are set aside. She clothes him with EsaU’s raiment, and places into his hands the food. III. Jacob Deceives Esau (vv, 18-20), 1. Interview between ISaac . and Jacob (W. 18-25). The quickness with which the savory meat was brought, aroused sus­ picion in the mind o f Isaac. Is order to allay that suspicion Jncob deliber­ ately lied. He not only lied* but blas- phemed the name'of God In declaring that his success was due to the help o f Jehovah. This lie Is again repeat­ ed when Isaac questions him further. One lie calls fo r another. Having started on the road o f deception he was Obliged to lie in order to cover up his deceit. 2. The paternal blessing (w . 26-29). It embodied the following partlcu-- lars; (1) A fertile soil and abundant products (v. 28), Man is dependent upon God for the fruitage o f the soli, Few stop to' consider their obligation to him fo r temporal blessings. . (2) National pre-eminence (v. 29). God was to give him a numerous and pow­ erful offspring. This has In a large measure beep fulfilled, but in a still larger measure it remains to be ful­ filled. (3) Pre-eminence among bis kindred (v» 29). ’’The elder shall serve the younger.” (4) The object of God’s especial care (v. 29). Being God’s choice, God obligates himself to care for him. Those who would misuse Jacob would suffer; those who would favor Jamb would be favored. Those who are chosen o f God enjoy his special care, and woe be to him who would dare to molest them. This included temporal and spiritual bless­ ings, Happy is he who enjoys the friendship o f God. IV. Esau’* Remorse (W . 80-38). Scarcely had Isaac ceaSed blessing Jacob till Esau clime for the blessing. The secret was now out. Lying and deceit cannot long be hid. In the face o f what had been done, Isaac shakes with fear. No doubt this is due to the manifest presence o f Jehovah. "Esau gives forth a terrible wall. While shedding bitter tears o f disappoint­ ment, he rages with passion and plans to murder Jacob after Isaac’s death. This is a most bitter experience lo r Esau, but lie is merely reaping what he sowed, For a brief indulgence o f his flesh he sold his birthright. May Esau's folly warn us of choosing flesh­ ly indulgence rather than spiritual blessings. Whenever one turns from the love of God to the gratification of worldly lusts, he is guilty o f Esah’s profanity, Source o f Power, Only those \ho are lifted up from the earth draw men unto them. The world is possessed by those who are not possessed by it* The momentum of love is' the source of power.—Fran­ cis G, Peabody. Sabbath Observance.

Outride an ambulance arrives, and deftly, quietly, the Soldiers of Cheer slip out to help the Army’s Htter-bearers lift out the wounded-and carry them into the yard or the church or the school—wherever there is room. “ ; W hy you should give tryice as much as you ever gave before! The need is for a sum 70^? greater than any gift ever asked for since the war began. r"he Government , has" fixed this sum at $170,500,000 1 B y giving to these seven organizations all at once, the cost and effort o f six additional campaigns is saved. Unless Americans do give twice as much as ever before, our soldiers and sailors may not epjoy during 1919 their 8600 Recreation Buildings 1000 Miles of Movie Film 100 Leading Stage Stars 2000 Athletic Directors 2500 Libraries supplying 5,000,000 books 85 Hostess Houses 15,000 Big-brother “ secretaries"1 Millions o f dollars o f home comforts W hen you give double, you make sure that every fighter has the cheer and com­ forts of these seven organizations every step o f the way from home to the front and back again* You provide him with a church, a theatre, a cheerful home, a store, a school, a club and an athletic field—and a knowledge that the folks back home are with him, heart and soul I You have loaned your money to supply their physical needs. Now give to maintain the Morale that is winning the war! The ambulance whirs off again along the shell- tom road, and still these messengers of, friendliness pass in and out among the soldiers—holding clips of steaming chocolate to their lips, giving them lighted cigarettes, shifting their positions. From one comer a boy’s voice calls out: . “ I got .it pretty bad. W ill you send home a message for me?” A friendly face bends over him. He whispers his mother’s name and her address. He asks that she be told where he was struck and how. “ Is there anything else?” asks the man above him. He hestitates a moment. Then, so softly that the older man can barely hear, he murmurs a girl’s name, and dies. • ■ . To be there when a wounded soldier needs them, is a privilege which comes to your representa­ tives in the seven war work organizations. After every push, when the field hospitals arefull to overflow­ ing, there are calls for everyavailable worker in the area; They come from miles around, after their day’s work is over at their own huts and canteens* And then through all the night they help the wounded fight their battles. The grief of many a mother or. a wife or sister here at home has been made easier by the letterswhich these men have written there beside the stretchers. Keep the Soldiers of Cheer on the job — the 7,000 who are there already and the 1,000 a month, for whom Pershing calls. w i UNITED'WARWORKCAMPAIGN THIS SPACE IS CONTRIBUTED TO AID IN WINNING THE WAR BY l• .
