A despateh from Los Angeles says:
••••Rov. Wank De Witt Tannage
ivreached from the following text
Genesis xxx, 1111, "And the flocks
brought forth cattle, ringstraked.
speckled and spotted."
Laban, thought a man of wealth
end influence among the Ilebrews of
Ills day, was yet., like many rich men
in our time, mean and unprincipled
ultere a bargain wee involved. In
his compact with Jacob the weak
points of his cheracter wore steel-
ingly revealed. ITo had two daugh-
ters. "Leah was tender eyed, but
Rachel was very beautiful:" in other
words, the elder sister was homely
and unattractive. She Wall a maid-
en lady whom no one cared to
marry; hor eyes were inflamed, or
watery, or "caste" her dispoeition
was evidently as much askew as hor
oyes. Jacob was deeply in lave
with the -younger sister, but after
he had served seven long yeers foe
her old Laban cheated him out of
his promised bride and palmed air
upon the young man the unattrac-
tive elder sister. Then, ie order to
Win the yoUnger sinter, 41 (mob had
to Reeve seven mere long years, and
as a result he had two wives instead
of one.
POWER OP TJIE MIND.
At the end of his fourteen years
of service J acob prepared to leave
his father-in-law's employ. I -Te want-
ed to take his two wives and go oa
and build a. house of his own some-
where This, however, Laban did
not wish him to do. So the crefty
Laban made a, contraet with jacob
that if he would stay and continue
in charge of his herds of cattle and
flocks of sheep ho, Laban, would
give to the young man as payment
for his services 011 the calves and
the lambs .and the kids thee were
born engstraked or speckled or
spotted. Jacob agreed to the bar-
gain. Bo 1 when he egreed the
young man was craftier than the
old man, As the father-in-law had
been unprincipled with Jacob, so
Jacob wan unprinepled now with
Laban. What did Jacob do ? Did
bo allow nature to siniply take iLs
usual course ? No. Ile began to
scheme and to cunningly influence
the colors of the calves, the kids
and the lambs about to be born. Ire
took some rods of green poplar and
hazel and chestnut and laid those
rods of while and bleck in the wa-
tering troughs of the herds and the
flocks. Than, when the cows and
the sheep foul the goats came to
drink out of the wsttering troughs
tho black and white rods reflected in.
the water made such a, startling im-
pression upon thent that the calves,
kids and lambs born thethafter were
influenced by that prenatal shock,
and most el them were ringstraked
and spotted and speeded. Thus
Jacob's herds gem larger than
Laban's, and the craft of the un
-
scruple ous soe-in-law overreaching
the dIshoneety of the father-in-law.
After Jacob placed the rods of
green poplar and hazel and chestnut
In the watering trotighs the startl-
ing and far reaching .effect produced
npon the animals Is not to be won-
dered at. 11 you place a stick in
tho .AvaLar, by the laws of reflection
that wood rutty seem to become a
creature of lac. I remember when
a lad once dropping my fishing pole,
and as it ley at the bottom of the
brook tho ripples made that rod
look like a long serpent wriggling
upstream. As these cattle stoop to
drink I see them start back an
though a venomous hiesIng snake
was lifting tip his fatal fangs to
Strike. My text presents one of the
best inetances to be found in Mora -
ter() of tho far reaching effect of the
=fad over the physical body.

their oyes and stop their ears to

a holti on ono Milo passage of

Its surrounding connections. As a

distort, and then they rest their

If the Bible does not honor th
medical profeesion why did Christ us
as illustration this sentence for on

the Siberian and Manchurian coon-

nember they believe there will ba

IL should be borne in mind that
Japan struck her Brat blow a month
before Russia, thought it Watt possi-
ble to make an effective manoeuvre.
L. was not patience which Japan ex-
hibited in this instance—for she
might have dragged oil the negotia-
tioes until the harbors were free of
ice—but It vets shrewd, cool delib-
erating which marked her course.
She struck Port Arthur the very
