THE SUNDAY SCHOOL INTERN 1TIONAI. LESSON, AI'ltIl. 11. Lesson 11. God (Gives Jacob a New Nance. Golden Text : Luke 10. 20. TIIE LESSON WORD STUDIES. Based on the text of the Revised Ver- sion. Jacob in Haran. -The sojourn of Jacob iti Reran is of importance in our his- torical narratives at this point because of the fact 1h311 it was here that his elexen sons, from whom descended the twelve tribes of Israel, were born. !Mention is also made of the birth of a daughter, I)inuh, to Leah, the firsl and older wife of Jacob. Jacob's life in Haran is im- pu:rhrnt also because here he acquired independent wealth, which later greatly augmented the inheritance which he re- ceived from his father. Isaac. The ac- count of the birth of Jaeoli s sons is farad in Gen. 29. 31 to 30. 31, where the meaning of the name of each is ex- plained. The names of the eleven is. born in Imran in the order of their birth and the meaning of each name as given in the (narrative are as follows : Reuben. meaning See; n son; Sium- eonlleb. "Shinnnit"). meaning he (Jehovah) hath heard ; Levi. meaning a joining or binding; Judah, meaning the celebrated ; Dan, meaning he hush judged ; Naphtnh, meaning my wrest- ling; (fad. meaning fortune; Asher, meaning happiness; Issnchar, mcnuing he will bring reward ; 7.ebuluu. meaning habitation ; Joseph meaning adding. ur the added one. There is an ethical side to our narra- tive brought out especially in the men- tion of such incidents as the struggle of Leah and Michel for their husband. which illustrate% indirectly the evils of polygamy and the jealousies and rival- ries iti which it gives rise. The character of Jamlis uncle, Latent, as portrayed in these chapters is anything but attrac- tive. His sl►rew•dnes.s, duplicity. and ac- quisitiveness are inherited by his daugh- ters and reflected also in the action of his sister, Jacob's mother. Self-interest and unpardonable deceit are conspicuous (rails in his character. Lnlan's 1rea1- ment of Jacob naturally has n leaning on cur estimate of Jncedis behavior towards his uncle. It is f.aban who first breaks faith with ince!) aryl who is throughout the chief offender; and i1 seems bete to infer that hail Labatt treated Jacob hon- estly and generously Jacob mewl(' not have been guilty of practicing deception against (him. Verse h. My. pallier Abraham --This p11ra o' three . light on the use of the [- words worts "father" and "son" 111 the 01d 11 Testament. The former tins often the h meaning simply of "ancestor." as the salter lips the meaning of "descendant." The bearing of this Gael upon the chr'dr n.logy of the Old Testament in which the lapse of time is counted by genera- tions, is nppnreil. Saidst unlo me. Return -The express c(nunnnl of Jehovah to Jnc'1b Is given 111 Gen. 31. 3. One remarkable Trait of Old Testament (heroes is their habit of attri- buting all success and every achieve- ment. even the promptings to good and profitable undertakingg1, to the direct influence and guidance of Jehovah, while nt the same time in practice working to ae bring these very things nl.nut as Indus- In toward self-preservation inseparable, perhaps, from Ifs: nature of any normal racer.

And thou saidst, I will surely tIu tliee good -It is clear from Jacob's in- .cstence in claiming the promise pre- viously made to tum by Jehovah that that promise, referred to in Gen. 31. 3, w'u3 certainly more than a mere curates impression or inner conviction that God we ul(1 prosper him. A defhnte revela- tion and conuntinicesee of mime kind from Jehovah must have been vouch- safes) tum. After pleading thus earnestly for di- vine assistance Jacob egain proceeds to wake all possible provision for a favor- able onetime of the impending meeting will his brother. sending large pr'etsenls of (locks and herds in advance to ap- pease if possible Ihe anger of Esau. Thus, as in lite lives of most Old Testament heroes. here also faith and works mani- fest themselves together. 22. And passel over -lie probably ac- companied his family to a place of safely on the other side of the steam and then recrossed alone to the place of his for- mer encampment. The wording of the narrative at this point, at least in Eng- lish. is rt little ambiguous ;comp. 111 expressions "brut them over the stream' and "was left alone," verses 23, 21). The ford of tete Jabbuk-The Jabl,ufc flows into the Jordan from the east about twenty -live miles Perth of the Dead Sea and only a few miles south of the Sea of Galilee. For at least twenty-five or thirty miles of its course back from the Jordan it flews through u deep chasm, or canon, with sleep and lofty sides and wish only Mere and there a possible fording place. The ford here referred to was in all pro- bability one about Three miles east of We Jordan, by which on.- of the cus- tomary routes from Palestine to lite northeast still crosses the .(ream. 24.

I will not pet tree go, except thou bless me-Jnrvob perceives now that the person with whom he has been wrest- ling is more than mortal and seizes the opportunity to ask of hire a blessing. 28. Nu More Jamb, but Israel -As so often in his dealings with his chose; representatives among men, Jchoval emphasizes the special crisis in Jacob's life and the renewal of a promise of future blessing by a change of none. In lids case the change is from 11"nanie meaning "the supplauler" to one indi- cating his successful wrestling with God, and suggestive also of his success in lite approaching encounter xvth Esau. Striven with God anti with men, and hast prevailed - Jacob's persevering wrestling in prayer with Jehovah is just ended. But among men he has also per- severed in the past. His contest with Labatt has turner) out favorable to him ; and while that with Esau is not yet come to an end. .,lilt lire words "hest prevailed" arc- words of good omen for the successful outcome of this encounter also. 30. Peniel-Lit. "Ihe fore of God." All that can be said with regard to the site of this place, so memorable in the life of Jacob, and so symbolical of victory in every soul -struggle of God's children fo- lay, is that it roust have been some- where to the north of and near the ford f the Jobbok referred to euriier in the narrative.

WOMEN AIIE Airris :S. Though the head of the house sug- gests and passes on new ideas, it is the premiere or head dressmaker who creates most of the fashions. Many of these women aro artists, natural to►larists. They are gold mines of ideas, although they slake use of old paint- ings and engraving, that oftentimes seggest valuable (dens. As the heat) dressmaker of one large establishment says: "There is nothing absolutely nee.. Alt we can expect to do is to dress old (seas in now forms.

The style must i.c created first, the getting of material, and making a fashion popular. The material is an important point. A cer- lain style of dress like the empire or princess calls for special .silks, trim- mings. and laces that are not found in the market, and unless the manufactur- ers respond to the idea it falls flat. • The fashions created by these large houses are of two kinds -one for the public at large, and the other for their exclusive (rade. Weeks ahead the large houses are busy gelling ready for the crowd of buyers who throng their places. These houses expend as much effort in displaying their styles as In creating Ideal.
