Chapters 27 and 28 By WILLIAM E. GILROY, D. D. Jacob at his worst was one of the meanest and shiniest charac ters on record, either in Holy 'Afrit or in the secular records of human life. He tricked his elder brother, Esau, out of the birth right, and in other incidents he showed hfmself a cowardly and selfish man. But Jacob at his best proved to be a man upon whom something could be built, whereas the more likable, good-natured Esau, like many likable, good-natured men, was weak, and undependable, unwilling to bear much responsi bility. Jacob at his best, too, had some remarkable spiritual exper iences. Perhaps the Bible tells us so much about Jacob, at his worst and at his best, and about these experiences, because even mean and shifty men can be saved from their meanness and shiftiness, and can have visions of ladders reaching to heaven and can find God for God is no re specter of persons, and does help those who call upon Him in sin cerity and truth, even if their Characters and past conduct have not been what they ought to have been.

The women's missionary soci ety, Wednesday, 2 p. m. it, is about as unpleasant as a story could be. Rebekah as the scheming and deceitful mother is in strange contrast to Rebekah the young girl, giving drink to the emissary of Abraham and to his camels, when he had come seeking a wife for Isaac. How could so fine a young woman de velop into so deceitful a mother, favoring one son against the oth er, and stooping to low fraud to achieve her ends? In the primitive life of all peo ples are stories and legends that are not always marked by high moral conceptions. When these become incorporated in later his torical records we discriminate between the good and the bad; and we must do the same in these stories of the early life of Israel, remembering that the records were not written until long after the events. We ought to admire the honesty and spiritual courage with which the Biblical writers set down the unfavorable and the dark as well as the favorable and the bright. It is this that makes the Bible so notable in its integ rity. Jnc.b had to escape from the wrath of Esau, and his mother helped him to get away. But des pite the blessing of his father he wasn't happy. Worn out, as the sun went down, and as darkness came on, he lay down with stones for a pillow. Even a tired man in that situation might expect a restless sleep and unhappy dreams; but Jacob had a dream that threw him into fear, and brought him face to face with God. Had he been only fearful, that would have been the end of the matter; but the best in Jacob came out, and the revolution that was to make him a better man began. His vow to God was in the nature of a bargaining vow if you do so much for me, I'll do so much for you. But he made a pillar-altar out of his pillow o stones, and poured oil on it as an act of worship. Thus he made a religious be ginning. A man who begins to be religious, can get a better reli gious experience a better reli gion. He can grow in trace. It is the man who never makes a beginning who comes to nothing; and Jacob did come to something better. Bethel was the first step; Peniel (Genesis 32:30) saw him really a changed man. In accurate filing of long-range puns, consideration must be made for the turning of the earth on its axis. Three Union, La Grande Women Round Drive Pilot Car, Act as Flag 'Men' On Road Work UNION, Aug. 18 (Special) "Women at work" might well be the heading for the announce ment the state oiling crew is at work on the streets of Union. There was notthing unusual in seeing the road crews at work but when a woman is the flag "man, that attracts the atten tion of the bystander, especially when the situation is covered with such efficiency and tact as was displayed by Mrs. Earl Lamb in her work on the streets of Un ion Thursday. Quietly but capably she han dled the traffic. Constantly on the alert, she met with tact and poise the impatience of the 'busy peo ple, who resented the delay. Her appropriate dress, her strict at tention to business and the dis patch with which she handled her work, gave Union a practical demonstration of how women can and do work.
