A young boy just out of high school applied for four jobs, and found himself accepted for everyone of them. He seemed bright, a boy with a great future. When he picked the job he want ed, his new employer asked him why he picked that particular firm to work for; he replied, “It was your retirement plan that interested me; I can quit in twenty years, and live without working at all.” He probably didn’t hold that job very long; he had nothing to con tribute! There was no desire for achievement in him; he was only putting in time. And he was probably miserable while he was doing it. No loafer was ever hap py; only the strugglers, who are constantly trying to pull them selves up, find any happiness worth having. If the butterfly never struggled to get free of its chrysalis, it would never be a buttefly; if we did not struggle through school, we would be ser iously handicapped in competition with those who did; if steel had never gone through the fire, it would never be steel. It’s the struggle that counts. Jacob was one of the Bible’s greatest strugglers. He lied and cheated his way through half his life, until he came to the place where he realized that not only did the cheating and the lying not “pay off,” but that there was a better way of life open to him if he had the courage to break his evil habits and live as God wanted him to live. Notice that Jacob j was hot able to win the struggle all by himself; he needed God to help him break those chains. He ‘struggles with God,’ and with the angels of God; when he realized at last that he could never win without having God on his side, he really began to live. Jacob’s story is the story of a man who struggled against his lower nature. Have you ever noticed how those who let the lower nature win are ultimately despised by their fellow men? Years ago, a luxury liner named the Titanic went down in mid Atlantic. On board that ship was a director of the White Star Line, which owned the Titanic; he was J. Bruce Ismay, and it is said of him that\ he pushed a little girl out of a lifeboat to have himself. So terrible were the criticisms of men and the burning accusations of his conscience that he lost his mind; he was found roaming the woods a raving maniac. But John Jacob Astor and Elbert Hubbard, who died that night while others took their seats in the lifeboats, are still held up to American youth as examples of heroic American manhood. They are im mortal; Mr. Ismay is forgotten. Jacob is immortal because though he started as a cheat he ended as a man of God. PRESENT-DAY APPLICATION By Frederick D. Jordan Los Angeles, Calif. Our lessons this quarter concern the lives of some of our best known and beloved Bible char acters. Today’s lesson is one that will give encouragement and new hope to any who feel that they cannot re-make their lives. Jacob changed from a tricky and selfish individual who lived by his wits, to a man of settled character, committed to do the will of God. He realized his wrongdoing, his deceit and became fearful of the consequences of his sin. In the spiritual conflict that resulted he I emerged the victor and through God he was able to meet his wronged brother in peace. He put aside everything that would keep him from a full commitment to God. Experiences come to men and women today that completely remake their lives as distinctly as in the case of Jacob. As there are places where the destiny of nations is determined, as at Wat erloo or at Gettysburg, or at Ver sailles, so there are experiences in the lives of individuals that are revolutionary. One’s whole life oft’ times seems to date from some significant moment, perhaps it oc curred at the bedside of a loved one who was crossing over, dur ing an evening walk, at church, or in some unexpected spot. But God met us there. Do you know that chromium will stay shiny and smooth if washed with hot water and soap, rinsed, and polished with a dry, soft cloth?

Ah yes, you sink back in a big chair and dream of the gay days tahead in the fresh air and sunshine. Last year? Well, you don’t remember too well what you did. But it was great fun, whatever it was. Well, that’s naturally the way with people. We never seem to remember details. Think back, nature boy, and think hard before you plan that picnic. Remember the little patch of woodland you were in last year? Beautiful place, with a nice, clear creek running by it. Only trouble was, the creek had to be crossed to get to the wood land. Now it begins to dawn on you. You started across but had a lit tle trouble. When you reached the other side, you had two wet, squeaky shoes, muddy clothes and a bad temper. It was also a job fishing the lunch out of the water. But you just strained off the potato salad, squeezed out the hamburger and threw away the mushy buns. The baked beans were slightly di luted and the onions thoroughly washed. But what is that, you thought, to a real outdoor man. After that ordeal you pro ceeded to cut your leg while chopping wood. Next, a pieco flew up in the air—and you gazed skyward at it just in time to break its fall with your eye. You laughed that episode off, i though, and returned to camp with visions of food (such as it was) dancing before your good eye. Only then did you discover that your wood was green. Result— You were almost asphyxiated by smoke before you had a flame. However, it wasn’t long (only 20 mosquitoes later) before you were ready to eat. Then, you found those perennial picnic guests, the ants, had not for saken you. When you dug for the paper plates, you found they were covered with the pests, so you had to figure out something else to eat on. You finally re sorted to folded newspapers. Only ten mosquitoes later this time, your heart sank and your temper soared at your—ah—food, shall we say—dropped through the middle of the bean-soaked pa [ per and into your lap. Dis gustedly, you admitted defeat and headed for home. As your solemn oath then was “Never again,” why not try the backyard this year?
