In 'that priznitiVe age Ivhen God's

people and the reale wayside altar was
the only chapel -when There wee no

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

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

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."

Happy the Man who makes these dis.
eoveries; who conies to know that he
lives with the angels daily; that the
Father has a Wan in him, end a bles-
sed destiny to work out and a glori-
ous inheritance to reward him • with.

Me top of it, even the ladder of the
cross. A perfect acceptance of Him
who dscended and descended upon that
cross will turn every affliction into a
blessing, and stony pillows and hard
Leds will become 'means of heavenly
knowledge and sacred experience.
They make our common law divine.
And every land a Palestine.
We need these things so much. Let
us go in quest of them. Without them
life is a barren, beclouded and miser-
able journey, but with them it is trans-
formed and glorified. Oh, that we may
all discover God, and cling., cloae to

d QUEER WAYS OF THE UPOTOS.
t Can't Look at Their Mother -fn. -Law and
Women. Eat Special Fish.
g The Upotos live on the northern bank
t of the Congo between .1konmango and
.Dobbo, or between the twentieth and
enty-second degrees of east longttude,
, and seem to have long resided in the
I region. They show a marked disincli-
r nation to quit- it. They live chiefly by
fishing, and one 'of the first things to
strike a visitor is that certain fish are
reserved for the men, others for the wo-
men, and yet a third e kind for the
slaves. These Slaves are chiefly slaves
by bath or men sold for their debts.'
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. One
form of semi -Servitude is called lisokko„
This is when a man, not having money
.to buy .a wife, sells himself to a chief
to obtain one. The offspring of such a
marriage •beconaes the pr•operty 'of the
choieifi.e
very curious custom is that a
man may never look tit his mother -io-
ta*. If he does, he has to pay her a
fine of 30 to 50 mitalikos, which are
brass rods equal te a half penny. Nei-
ther must the mother-in-law look at her
daughter's ' husband. Children are treat-
ed with great kindness, and in fact
spoilt. Their mothers do not chastise
them, even if the children strike them.
Among the duties of thewomen• is that
of shaving' their husbands. The chief
amusements are singingdancing- and
wrestling.matches between villages. The
