Brigg Golden Text: "I am with thee and will keep thee whithersoever thou goest." Gen. 3S:15. Jacob's Ladder Vision ! It has been said that "When there is no vision, the people perish," and such seems to be the fact, for no 'great object or purpose was ever ac jcomplished except there was a vision and an ideal for which to work. We come today to study the life of Jacob, who was the second son and twin of Isaac, and whose name meant '"Sup planter," for indeed he had supplant- ! ed his older brother Esau. While Isaac was a peaceable man and was considered a weakling in many re-' spects, the craftiness and scheming politician and trader was embodied) to a great extent in his wife and the two sons, who came to bless this man, ' as well as the world. j As was the custom, Isaac loved j very strongly his eldest son, Esau, ! who was a real red blooded man, a worker and a man of the outdoors, aj hunter. Isaac was a weakling in i many respects. He was a slave to ; his appetite and was a great eater.' and especially liked meat dinners, and j was very particular about a certain i kind which his son Esau prepared. j In the hunting, Esau often took j deer in the chase, and this was a ; very delic ate morsel for the aged man j now blind and, as he thought, almost' ready to die. Still retaining his de-j sire for good things to eat, he called I his son Esau to him and said, "Go to the fields and hunt until you have found a young deer, and make me savory meat, the kind which you: know I am so fond of, and when you, come. I shall give you my blessing. I So Esau goes out with his bow and J arrows and other hunting equipment,: to fulfill the desire of his father, and j incidentally to secure the blessing which his father was to bestow, for this was greatly prized, not alone in t!os (i;vs but even aow. Now while 'he- is away hunting, let us look at the condition which has brought .them to this place. J Some years before when Esau had j come in from a hunting trip or from th field where he had been working, land was all tired out, his brother ! Jacob, who had been in the house and was a pettee. son 01 nis motuer, Rebekah. whom she and he were plotting to supplant Esau, was pre paring some red patoge. a dish which locked most appetizing to Esau and he asked for a portion of it. Jacob, the schemer, said. "I will give it all to you if you will give me your birthright," for Esau had been born the lirst. Eau was so nearly lnmished that he reasoned, what is a birthright worth to me when I am nearly starved to death. I had bet ter have something to eat than to have the birthright, so the trade was f maue. There went glimmering the ad vantage of having been the first born and by chicanery was wrested from Esau the privilege which was the heritage of being the first born. The tenor of the home life went on with th- father liking the elder of the two sons, and showing it in his de meanor, while the younger was the pet of the mother and was at every instance pushed forward and given the advantage whenever an opportun ity could be found. Isaac, as we have learned, was a man of peaceable na ture and not given to strife, while the wife and mother was a daughter of La ban and a schemer who was more than a match for the husband and father now well along in years, and the battle in the home went mostly against the aged Isaac. When Esau went forth to hunt for the venison for the dinner for his aged ar.d now blind father, the moth er and brother Jacob, at her in stance entered into an agreement, v.herobv they were to steal the bless ing as well as they had procured the birthright formerly. Rebekah com manded Jacob to run to the flock nearby and select the best kid there in ana nave it dressed, wnue site would prepare to make the dish such as Isaac most desired. This was done and when the dish was prepared, Re bekah. dressed Jacob in some of the hunting clothes of Esau, made of skins, and which had a strong scent of the animal, and sent him in to his father for the blessing. While the father was old and blind, his hearing seemed to be rath er acute and when Jacob addressed him saying, "Here is the meat which you dearly love; Come, partake of it and give me the blessing," Isaac re plied, "Who is this who comes to ad dress me?" Jacob said, "I am your eldest son Esau, to whom you said. 'Go get me some venison.' and I have it here already prepared for you." Jacob said, "This is sun ly not the voice of Esau; Come, let me feel your hand3 and arms and see if it is really my eldest son or not." So Jacob came near and the father passing his hand over the hands and arms of Jacob, found them hairy, as well as smelled the scent of the garment of skins, and was partially convinced, although he still had a doubt as to the truth of the statements of Jacob. However, (he partook of the dish, and was given (wine, probably also prepared for the occasion and bestowed the1 blessing, , in which he said: "God give thee of jibe dew of heaven, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine. Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee; be lord over your brethren, and let thy mother's sous bow down to thee. 'Cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be every one that blesseth thee." , As he was going out from the pres ence of the father. Esau arrived and having prepared his supper for the ;father, came in and addressed the ; father, saying: "Here father is the i See bout me a ii SPECIAL Low ats - to - Dates of sales; June 1G-23 inclusive Final return limit; June 30.

"Who then was he that just now came and paid he was my eldest .son Esau, and whom I have blessed, and yea he shall be blessed?" j j Then with a great and bitter cry, ' :Esau. who realized that by chicanery ithe blessing had been stolen from jhim, said: "East thou now a blessing i for mo as well?" Then the biessiug of the fath.er (not the one wmcn was intended for Esau) was bestowed up on him, and was couched in the fol lowing language: "Behold thy dwell ing shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above. ; And by thy swort thou shalt live and ; shall serve thy brother; And it bhall come to pass when thou shalt have dominion, that thou shalt break his. yoke from off thy neck." Following! this there was much enmity between the brothers and especially on the j part of Esau, who had been defraud-j ed out of his birthright and his bless- , ing as well. He made up his mind that after the father had died, which ' he did soon, he would require the life of Jacob for his perfidy. j In some way Rebekah learned of j this and going to Isaac said, "Let us not make the mistake of having Jacob marry one of the heathen women here 1 but let us send him to Laben, my brother, in Mesopotamia, where he can get a wife." This was agreed upon, and Jacob departed for the east. At night he arrived at Bethel, where Abraham had camped years before, and there he stayed all night, j Ryder.

And Jacob, who j was awakened, said. "Surely the Lord ( is m this place. This is none other than the house of God, this is the gate of heaven." And Jacob rose up early in the Fountain Time!
