I.

The slory of Jacob. W-e cannot appreciate this text without we have the story of this remarkable Old Testament character. He was a typical Jew. If we understand him aa we may understand Israel ;..a people L"n“, d aESL'» was a hero, but Jacob a plain man dwelling lament is the difference between Paul and Peter in the New Testament, the one tows& sr^, panion in temptation and faiW There are several points in the hiasofy of Jacob which we would do well to have in mind. pSS SSL y pXiJS'Jf™, sees on every side of him great rocks and nothing but roeka. and long years ago ms® »vas .s.'sssTr* the binding »Ur. but is bound td hea' s sr&'s uzxruv^-JmS: / (b) The Angels.

dreary day.

•' Second. Jabbok. Jacob vs on his way back home when scddenlv he hears that Esau is ahead of him and he is afraid. He sends his Property over the stream and then his children and finally bis beloved Rachel, and he himself is deft alone. Around THjn-ihe stillness of the midnight boar, beside him the murmur of the brook over the atones, above him the depths of heaven, and while he waa left alone the thought of hia past failure come# to him and he is depressed, when suddenly he bads himself-in the grup of the angel, and he sirucg’.es to free himself. • Let it be noted that he is not srrestling with the angel. but the angel with him, /and I* this not God seeking to take from Jacob's life that which has hindered the development of God'a- life in him. There are three

things to be nrmemhered here.

(a) The change of his name. Hia name Was Jacob, which means "a anpplanter and cheat.” and the angel gave him the na: <b) Power with God and with men. but let it be remembered that it is power with Qod first. So many of us are seeking for power to more men; if we could but learn that we can move men by the way of the throne of God it would be a lesson of

speakable value.

fcl The vision of God. Ever afterw.., a* Jacob remembered Jabbok he said. "I lure eern God .face to face," and thia was the secret in part of the transformation of

his ehartrter.

Third. Bethel. It will be notated that Jacob is at Bethel again. Hr haa had a drewrT tgperienre of failure, and in ti Sfh chapter of Genesis God tells him i go back to Bethel. In itself Bethel is m much, it is just a Jong range of ' halls, but to Jacob it was a mer spot for there he had seen God. It is an
