The time had come 'for Jacob to go back to his kindred in the land of Cannan. The Lord instructed him So to do (v. 13). Though going forward under the direction of God, its Jacob - nature caused him to take clandestine leave of Laban. When Laban realized the situation he went in hot pursuit, but God appeared unto him. in a dream end warned him against any act of vi- olence toward Jacob. They formed a compact and Laban. returned home. II. Jacob on the Way (chapter 32,) Laban's return freed Jacob from the enemy who was pursuing him from tlehind, but he faced a more formida- ble one In the person of ,Esau. ,'L Jacob meeting the angels (v. 1). Two camps of angels met him to give him the assurance that God would be with him according to his promise. Notwithstanding this.. he continued to scheme. He sent n. deputation with a message of good cheer to Esau. 2.' Jacob praying (vv. 9-12). Esau made no reply ,to Jacob's mes- sage, but went forward with an army of men, four hundred strong, to meet Jacob. Jacob is in great distress, therefore he casts himself upon God in prayer,_. This is a fine specimen of effectual prayer. It is short, direct, end earnest. (1) He reminds God of his command issued for his return, and. also- of the covenant promise (31:3). Surely God would not Issue a command and then leave him in such a strait. (2) Pleads God's promise as to his personal safety (v. 9„ cf. Genesis 28:13-15, 31.33), In our pray - we should definitely plead God's promises in his word, on the ground sof covenant relationship in Christ. (3) Confesses unworthiness (v. 10). In this 3m shows the, proper spirit of humility. (4) Presents definite peti- tions (v. 11). He lays before the Lord the definite request to be delivered from the wrath of Esau. 8, The angel of Jehovah wrestling with Jacob (32:24-32). In God's school of discipline, Ja- cob is making some improvement, but still he is under the sway of self- will and self -trust. Though he had Inid the matter definitely before the Lord, he thought that his scheming would render God some assistance. Accordingly, he sent presents ahead to appease the anger of Esau. While journeying along, a man met him and wrestled with him, but Jacob knew not who he was. Perhaps he thought that 'Faso had pounced upon him in the ("ark. Ile exerted every ounce of strength in what he thought was the struggle for his very life. The morn-. ing was approaching, and still the wrestlers continued, Jacob not know- ing it was Jehovah manifest in hu- man forrn. This le the second crisis in Jacob's life,. He did not dare to enter the promised land under the con- trol of his self-sutliciency; his selfish will must be broken ; his Jacob -nature must be changed. Goal humbled him by dislocating his thigh. .When thus humbled, he quit wrestling and clung to God. )•3e got the bles5ing when he, conscious of his'wenlsness, laid hold of God. 4.

With the permission of the court 1 will read it: " 'He insinuates that I destroyed the will; I only gave hint to understand that it was lost,' Little he dreams it is stili'in any possession and will be, until such time as I, too, have .to snake final disposition of my estate) Why I did not destroy it, or 'why I do not, now that the property is rightfully mine, 1 cannot say, except that t dare not) "Thus conscience_daes make cowards of us all?' " "With the discovery of these wards," concluded the witness, "began nay. search for the will itself," "Front the discovery of this letter which led you to believe the will was still in existence, you prosecuted your search for the, docul..er-t until 7th 'of last July?" "Yes, sir, whenever an itpportunity for search was offered." "Where did you finally find the ars will?" n s 'hi the safe, in Mr, Mainwaring's private apartments at Fair aks." "On July 7 last?" "Yes, sir," "That was the day on which you, acting as Hugh Mainwaring's secretary, had drawn, at his dictation, his last will And testalnent, was it not?" "It was." "Mr, Mainwaring," said the attor- ney, deliberately, his eye quick to read faces about hint, "is there in your niind any connection between that event and your discovery of this will?" "Only the most - indirect," was the reply, given with equal deliberation. "The fact that Hugh Mainwaring was making final disposition of his property naturally spurred the on increased ac- tion, since, in makng final adjustment of his papers, he would be more than likely to destroy the old will. This incentive, together with the fact that opportunity was given me for a more thorough search than I had been able to stake prior to that tithe, combined to bring about the discovery of the wilt," "Please state the time and circum- stances of your finding it." "1 found it late in the -afternoon, while Mr, Mainwaring and his guests had gone for a long drive. i deter- mined to leave no place unexplored where it could possibly be concealed; after about an hour's search I found it." "What did you then do with it?" "I retaiteed it in my possession, and at the earliest opportunity secreted it within any own roost," "It was in your possession .during the following evening and night?" "It was " "Mr. Mainwaring," said Mr: Suth- erland, with marked emphasis, "please state whether you mentioned to Hugh Mainwaring the discovery of the will, or had any conversation with him relat- ing thereto.' "i made no mention of tine matter to him whatever. Except for a few moments, immediately upon his return I did not see hint alone until about midnight, when he appeared fatigued, and I would not introduce the subject at a time so itnopportune." After a slight pause, Mr, Sutherland continued, "You claim to be the law - fad son of the Harold Scott Mainwaring mentioned in this will, and as such the lawful heir, under its terms and con- ditions, of the Mainwaring property?" "1 do." "Has it not 'been 'generally under- stood among those supposed to have knowledge of the facts in the case that Harold Scbtt Mainwaring, at the time of his death, had no living child?" "That has been the general under- staildiilg." "Will you explain how the fact of your existence has been„kept concealed all these years?” The silence following the attorney's, question was so deep as to be oppres- sive until broken by the answer of the witness, clear, cold, and penetrating to the remotest°corner of the crowded room. "Within an hour from my birth, a dead child was substituted in my piece, and 1 was secretly given by sty, of the relationsihip existing between father into the keeping of trusted friends,' with instructions that until I had nearly stained my majority ,1 was not even to, know of his existence, or us.?' "Mr, jMainwarin'g," said the attor- ney, "are you willing to statte the rea- sons for such an extraordinary pro- ceeding on his part?" For the first time the impassive bear- ing and the calm, even tones of the witness gave way; the smouldering fire in his clerk eyes burst forth. as with impassioned utterance and voice vi- brating with entoton, ire replied,— "It was done because of . sorrow, more bitter than death, in his awn heart and home of which he wished me to know. noticing until 1 had reach- ed the years of manhood and could understand the nature of his Wrongs: it was done that i should be forever barred from all association with, or knowledge of, the base, false-hearted woman who bore his name only to dishonor it,—win, though she had given me birth, yet believed me dead, —that I might live as ignorant of iter 'existence as she of mitre; •it was done because of ills love for his only child,, a love for. which 1 would to -day gladly suffer 'dishonor and even death, if I code' but avenge his wrongs;" Only Harold Mainwaring's attorney's understood the splrit which prompted his words, but they carried his audi-' once with hiiti ht a sudden wave of sytsl pithy, and as he paused, men applaud= ed and women sobbed, while the judge vainly rapped for order, Cent ti"q ore 'dIdsse; remained 'motion• less, spellbound, Aurid the general ex- citement, Mrs, LaGrange sat as though turned to stone, her hands clasped so ' 'tightly that the jewels cut deeply loin BE 1UDDEr R } i' AT1S Pelt That lie Would 11everWalk Aiaain "F'IIUIT,A.TIVES" Brought Relief:. iliiirsday, Nov01111,er 21St, -191 Aa Harold Mainwaring paused, Mr', Sutherland remarked; "1, myself, have seen .the letter to which the witness refer;;, but 1 considerit of too personal a nature and too private in chareter to submit far examination.

When you are bodily tired you can usually fall to sleep at the first . oppor- tunity. But when the nerves are irritated by anxiety and worry rest and sleep seem to be impossible. The mind seems to be most alert, and , you are thinking, thinking , thinking— first of one thing and then of another— often matters of little or no importance. But you simply cannot sleep. Sleeplessness is the Most common and often the first indication of a breaking down of the nervous system. The object of sleep is to allow the body to rebuild tissue and the nerves toerecover tone. Sleep is the ideal condition for this process., If you cannot sleep yott worry, and worry breaks down nerve cells at a tre- mendous rate, so that instead of laying up nerve force for the demands of the day. you are using up the reserve. The nerve centres aresometimes liken- ed to storage batteries. If you continue to consume the nervous energy in reserve, without paying back, these centres become sooner or later depleted, and you rind your- self a nervous wreck. . After 'a sleepless 11�{Iit You �'et. up t Sleep feeling tired and lacking in mental energy. Your day's work seems more than you can face, and you become down -hearted and discouraged. The future is not bright, for you must realize that the natural result is exhausted items, paralysis, locomotor ataxia... or some form of helplessness. In Dr. Chase's Nerve Foocl is found the most natural and the most rational treat- ment for the Antes imaginable, because this food cure contains the vital sub- stances which go to the building up of the blood and the depleted nerve cells. Dr. Chase's Nerve Food does not in- duce sleep, but it does restore the nervous system, and after you have been using it for a few days you will begin to find your- self resting and, sleeping naturally. A little patience is necessary if your nervous system is greatly exhausted, but you will be encouraged by the benefits ob- tained to keep up the treatment until the exhausted nerves are fully restored, and you feel the energy and snap which means success and happiness.
