Jacob wrestled: It wee he that brought jaceb to realize and give up* his self-suffimeney and his woraly and questionable methods for work -hes out eiod's purposes for bim, and it eves be that ehariged .Jacob's name from "'Supplanter" to "Prince of God."

It was God who laid hold on Jaeob to prevent him from entering the land in his prescribed way and with his nature as Jacob. He wanted to be set right with his brother. He learned that he must be right with God. The narrative sets before us the divine method of ey- ing relief to the soul. It shows that every succeseful struggle against in or for attaiment in piety is due solely to divine help. Jacob's own troubled heart was the seat of difficulty. The pereote age with wheel Jacob here wrestled is called "a man" and yet Jacob said, "I have seen Go] face to fate, and my life is preserved." It was the same divine personage who appeared to him at Bethel. Jacob paid him divine homage and • appealed to aim for a blessing. When Jacob bad been made to feel his own weakness, and ceased to rely on his own strength, he prevailed by the pure- ly spiritual force of trustful, earnest prayer. His whole moral nature Wat3 stirred to its depths, tteel sin was de- stroyed.. God gave him a change of na- ture, an elevatiou of character, and wip- ed away his reproach. The blessipg• which Jacob got from Isaac was obtain- ed by fraud, but God's bleesing was ob- tained by .faith as his free gift. Rich- est blessings resulted from his being face to face with God. His own char- acter was changed before God and re - emanation was secured with men. Ile met his crisis and came forth a changed man, a prince of Co, to be the prin- cipal founder of the national of the Is- raelites, He became a spiritu,any mind- ed man. On that memorable night his old and wretched past was replaced by a new character and e new hope. lie was sent back in reeolleetiou over the years of his sinful life, and then for- ward acrose the years in and, of fulfilled promises. re had the secret of true life 'interpreted to him- as an attitude of supplieation and submission, rather than of resistance. 'There was uo prevailing with God until the spirit of resietance was destroyed, giving place to clinging and pleading. The night of wrestling was followed by a morning of happy reconciliation with his brother Lessee Each needed to be forgiven by the other. Jacob had received a lIONV name, new spiritual power and a bless- ing, whieh full compensated for unex- olained eaystery.----T. R.

London, April 12. -It was announced some time ago that the memoirs of the late King Milan would soon be publish, ed. Your eorreepondent made an ex- haustive inquiry among London publish - ere, but failed to discover anyone who had Or knew who was going to publish the book. On the contrary, Eyelet& Nash, who makes a specialty of mem- oirs, told the correspondent that lie was 'convinced that the memoirs of King Milan would never be published. He had made an exhauative research here and. on the continent for the manuscript, but could not get a. trace of it. He be- lieves that Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria secured the manustript for pur- poses of suppression. "There is a story among publishers," said Mr. Nash, "that some time ago, when it was first announced that King Mae had written his memoir, that the Austrian Emperor beought up the manuscript. It appears, however, that King Milan's secretary kept a copy of the manuscript. It was this copy un- doubtedly whieh it was intended to pub- II.sh. It is very likely that Emperor Frani Joseph, having secured the orig- inal manuscript, would not hesitate to puteliese the copy. "This es not the first time that be has done the same thing, that is, to putchase mauuseripte solely for the pur- pose to supprese them. He seems to have a definite policy to suppress, ro- ger -dims of cost, any authoritative pub- lication that would throw light on the Maid° workings of Auetrian diplomacy end foreign policy." 184 to 10e per dozen.

'But the convicts preserved order, hundreds of them assisting in fighting the flames. Their efforts were responsible for Saving the building occupied by women prisonens and the criminally insane. Believing this building doomed, _the authorities took the women out, and the ineane convicts were transferred to the cells. The building was only tilightly damaged. The scene of the great exeitement was in the insene ward, which is 130 feet from the twine plant. The flames seemed to throw panic into every inmate, There were fifty insane con- victs. Excited by the eight of the flames, the prisoners screamed and with clenehed hands beat on the iron bars of their r9OMS. The maniaee set up Buell a commo- tion that Warden Codding was forced to move them to another part of the prieom This removal was ed with with the greatest difficulty, many of the prisoners having to be dragged out by their guards.
