SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON 34 JACOB'S VISION OF GOD.— Genesis OD.Genesis 27, 28. PRINTED TEXT, Genesis 28: 10-22. GOLDEN TEXT. -1 am with thee, and will keep thee whither- soever thou goest. Genesis 28:15. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—This event can be dated somewhere near 1760 B.C. Place ---The beginning of our story is laid in Beer-sheba, In eouthern Palestine, but the dream of Jacob takes place at Bethel, twelve miles north of Jerusalem. Jacob's Flight 1e. "And Jacob went out from Beer -Sheba, and went toward Har- an. 11. And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there all night, because the sun was set; and he took one of tbe stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep." Meditating much and praying much, Jacob had on this journey drawn near to God, and is at last accepted. The interest in Jacob's life lies in the gradual improvement and progrese of h!a eharacter. Jacob's Dream face at the holy shrine; but He is surely with us in the den of wick- edness. Not alone in the sanctuary, but where the multitudes gather in defiance of His law; He is there. This is the truth to which Jacob awoke. 18. "And Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the atone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a' pillar, and poured oil won the top of It. 19. And he called the name of that place Beth -el: but the name of the city was Luz at the first. 20. And Jaedb viewed a vow, say- ing, If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, 21. so that I come again to my father's house in peace, and Jehovah will be my God, 22. then this stone, which I have set for a pillar, shall be God's house: and od all that thou abalt give me I will surely give the tenth unto thee." Jacob's response to this Divine revelation shows that, in spite of everything, he had that in his soul which reach- ed out towarde the Divine will, however unworthy and wrong were the methods that he used. It is a great thing that Jacob real- izes his need od God and that he makes this resolution, under what- ever hatever condition, aoknowledging God 12. "And he dreamed; and, be- hold, a ladder est up on the earth, and the top at it reached to heav- en; and, behold, the angels of God ascending and descending on it.13. And, behold, Jehovah stood above it, and said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou IieSt, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; 14. and thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. 15. And, behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee whithersoever thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spok- en to thee of." In his sleep Jacob sees a lad- der, or staircase, rising from the ground at his side, and reaching up to heaven. It tells him that heaven and earth are united, and that there is a way from one to the other. Upon these stairs 'mess- engers of Elohim are ascending and descending,' carrying up to God men's prayers, and the tale of their wants and sorrows, of their faith and hope and trust; and bringing down to them help and comfort and blessing. At the head ot the ladder Jehovah him- self stands. The word 1s that used In chap. 24:13, and signifies that the Deity was not there accident- ally, but that He holds there His Permanent station. Finally, Je- hovah from His heavenly past confirms to Jacob all the prom- ises made from the time when Abraham left Ur of the Chaldees, and assures him of His constant presence and protection. Jacob's Awakening 16. "And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and lie said, Surely Je- hovah is in this place; and I knew it not. 17. And he was afraid, and said, I -low dreadie0 is this place! this is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven." Jacob did not say God came to me in the night, God has visited me, God was here yester- night and now hag gone. Ile did not awake to the eonacielletleae ot a visit; He awoke to the eon. scloiSness of a presence, The thing that he fouled out that night was not that God visits man, but. that Godis with man wherever he ie. We expect to meet Mtn in the sanetllary; but Ile is near ns in the marketplace.. We look for the gleaming of the glory of lits as his God and pleasing himself to God's aervlce. Ten is the whole: a tenth ie a share of the whole. The Lord re- eelves ane sharees an ack- nowledgment of hie sovereign right to all, Here it is represented qe the full share of the Icing who dwells with his sulbjects. Thus Jacob opens his heart, hie home and his treasure to God. These are the simple elements of the true religion, The spirit of pow- er ,and of love, and of a sound mind, his begun to reign In Jacob. Churchill Preparing Account Of War Premier Churchill is reported to be preparing his own account of the war, to be published when victory is won. His method is to employ a staff of students to look up facts and figures and then, on the basis of notes supplied by re- search workers, he dictates at an astounding speed. The Premier's work is set into type with extra wide margins which give him space in which to build his lucid expositions- Each sheet is scored with numerous corrections in Mr. Churchill's bold, legible handwriting to await the day when publication will be- come diplomatically possible .. . Mr. Churchill, incidentally stir- red many memories when he re- ferred in the House of Commons to war correspondents in Libya. He once was a war correspondent himself, sending dispatches on the Boer War to the Morning Post. During that campaign, Mr. Churchill was taken prisoner and despite his demands for release as a war correspondent was sent to an improvised concentration camp. It held him for three weeksbefore he passed boldly within five yards of a sentry at the gates and walked into Pre- toria.

CKOC in Hamilton will again be with the CBC Network in broadcasting their daily thirty -minute round of fun and merriment! 5 * * The knot -hole kid, Charlie Mc- Carthy, and his stooge, Edgar Bergen, made $282,000.00 last year. This is more money than their broadcast time employers paid their three top ranking exe- cutives in the same period. The President of the Company drew only $75,000.00 — so who says, it's dumb to be a dummy? And SCO TING ■ ■ Fifty Boy Scouts oh the let and end Woodstock, N.B. Scout Troops made what probably is a salvage record. In an all -day salvage drive, lasting from 8 a.m. 'till midnight 'they filled a warehouse with used material of all kinds to the value of $600. The first $100 received was .presented to the Red Cross. The Scouts launched the cam- paign when adults failed to move, and are now handling it as the official salvage organization. * * * "I Have several Boy Scouts in my Home Guard platoon, and I find that they have come in al- ready half trained, due to their having been Scouts."—Lord Hamp- ton, • Following' one ot the German air attacks upon Bath, England, a Scoutmaster noticed a woman endeavouring to -Open the door of a still standing Boy Scout Head- quarters, To his question she ex- plained that her son, a former Scout of the Troop, had been lost at sea, and that his photograph hung h au honoured place on the troop room wall.

Typically youth- ful, brimful of the fun and pranks of the typical teen-age, Penny's Diary caught on with its Thursday night Canadian audi- ence. The show returns among the first of the new September season, on September 4th. That's a FRIDAY night instead of the remembered Thursday night show. But the time is the same — 8.30 p.m. — and the show has been somewhat revamped to give even more play to its many fun possi- bilities. * * * Rev. Christopher ("Kit") Tan- ner, who saved the lives of 80 men by swimming backwards and for- wards between a sinking cruiser and a rescue ship aid Crete, then died from exhaustion, was a Rov- er Scout of the 3rd Gloucester- shire Boy Scout Group. He was posthumously awarded the Scout Bronze Cross. * * An outstanding example of Boy Scout salvage work was offered try the Scouts of Warner, Alta„ with the help of members of tbe Group Committee. They gathered 86 tons of metal and two carloads of mix- ed salvage, for which $497,44 was received. OAC the amount $225 was sent to the Lethbridge Kinsmen's Club for its Milk for Britaiu Fund, and $180 to the Y.M,C.A. Overseas Service. * 5 * As radio goes into its greatest fall and winter, it steps out amidst grave events, demanding grave consideration and an even higher sense of duty than at any time in the past. News will be handled even more carefully — patriotic programs will have more of the punch of brutal reality to them— comedy will be real comedy to bring the necessary laughs and =ilea to one and all; staffs of stations are being depleted—many of the ranks of the stars are los.. ing men and women with almost alarming rapidity; thus, the Bea- son will be a 'tough' one, for those who do the broadcasting, put on the programs, and see to it that the well-oiled wheels of the nation's greatest entertainment media keep moving steadily. The problems of your local station are tnueh the same as those of the national broadcasters, and when you listen in this fall, you will do well to realize that in every in- stance, one man or one woman la probably doing the work two or three did in season's past. ldn- courage their effort and linters appreciably to the new radio ease son! * * For a singing treat, not in the Hit Parade, listen' to John Charles Thomas, famous American bari- tone, doing his recorded version of the old Spiritual "Journey's End!" The Unexpected Several years ago, says the Christian Science Monitor, two prosperous New York business• men were taking in the sights of London. As sometimes happened with that type of visitor, they found much to criticize by com- parison with things they had seen in America. Their disdain reached its height before the plain, unpretentious exterior of the Prime Minister's residence on Downing street. "What a home for a Prime Minister!" one of them exclaimed,. "Yes, and look at that ear!° said the other. In front of the residence stood a small runabout. "Why,' in New York, a grocery clerk would bo ashamed of own- ing nothing better," the other added. Just then a well-dreseed man came out, got in the car and drove off. "Who was that?" the visitor's asked a near -by policeman. Mr. A. B. 'Oughton, the Hamer - lean Hambassador, sir," replied the bobby. 1 EXPERIENCED ACTRESS HORIZONTAL 1, 6 Pictured American actress. 13 Radio antenna. 15 To this. 16 Persia. 17 Mineral filled fissures. 19 The welt. 21 Fishing bags. 22 Gem weight. 23 Caterpillar hair. 24 Period. 25 One who runs 50 P 'ofouund. away. 51 Blunder. 30 Pigeon's cry. 52 Burden. 32 Mountain ash. 53 pertaining to 33 Dutch (abbr.). wings. 34 Rowing paddle 55 Custom. 35 Newspaper 56 Branches of paragraphs. learning. .36 And, 57 She recently 37 Kind of snow- shoe. celebrated 40 38 A1L years of —. 40 Newts. 58 She has a 44 Ship's decks. distinctive 47 Gentle, — voice.
