It is a strange, hard, alarming experience and he falls upon some astonishing truths At the very outset IV his pilgrimage. • - Jacob discovers the Cinisery of wand- ering. How utterly homesick and miser- able he must have been. To this is ad- ded the consciousness that he is the guilty author of alle thieeavieltednees - reeseasueepas, Made thia.hed-b6'now hes uon Oh, how many wanderers, there are to -day, fleeing out Into the World from hinnes they themselves have made inrn- possible. -But .Jacob's heart was not hardened by his misfortunes. I have suspicion that the poor lad wept tiinself to sleep! :that night and that he, murmured his 'mother's name many times BEFORE THE VISION CAME. It takes a tender, chastened heart to dream- holy dreams and see heavenly visions. His hard situation was about to be turned into a noble blessing. His hard pillow proved a rugged bit of good fortune, in that from its troubled drearns he discovered the angels. His eyes were opened to the dear fact of angelic presence andministrations to the open way to the beyond -he beholds 'th i Very scale santa up to heaven. How tremendously these things enrich and dignify human life and being, and Jacob must have matured marvelously by this experience in the holy-hight of their relization. But all truths are -linked together and revelations are built, one upon the other, toward the ultimatisdight of the Throne eternal, and eo time and yet more astounding things ennle crowding through his shining dreanaetill beond the ladder' and 'beyond the arigehe the enthralled sleeper finds God. "Behold •the Lord stood above' it," and he speaks forth from the deep experi- ence of all of its when he exclaims, d'Surely the Lord is in this place; and I /mew it not." He begins to perceive, as all should, that 0,11 places are holy where we meet God and fulfill duty, that every abiding spot may become a house of God and a gate of heaven if we make it so. Like Jamb 01 old, we all have need both to know of and to know pod, - Nor can we to soon discover that "He is not fer from each one of us; for in thin we live and move and have our being."

They show a marked disincli- r nation to quit- it.

They are well treated, and opposite Ir- ingui is an island in •which all slaves who are incapable .of working are al- lowed .to reside by themselves.
