BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE MODERN ESAUS.§ ~HERTACES FOR POLITICAL The Esau of the Scriptures’ who sold his birthright for.a mess of potage has his modern counterpart in men who are today juggling with the price- less birthright of citizenship and will- ing to barter it for gold aud political preferment, Rev. George Buzzelle, rector of St- George's church, told an audience. which last night fillel the} Grand theatre for popular Sunday evening services planned by Rev. Buzzelle. The rector took as his text: “for ye know how afterward, when he (Esau) would have inherited a blessing he was rejected; for he found no place of repentance though he sought it carefully and with tears.” —Heb. xii, 17, Rev. Buzzelle said: “The story of Esau is a tragic one, and one that makes a strong appeal to most of us. Rugged, red-blooded son of an aged and doting father, hi the first of the very impetuousness is liable to con- fuse our judgment of his case. We pity him because he received so lit- tle for his birthright, just a morsel of food. And we pity him’ again as we read the Apostle’s account of the transaction ‘for he found no place of repentance ,though he sought it care- fully and with tears.’ “Esau’s sin was found in his under- valuation of his birthright. Jacob and his mother valued it so highly that they were ready to lie to obtain it. But to Esau, the smell of the ory méat was enough to banish all re- gard tor the priceless heritage. was very human, and in his experience we seem to read our own story. What one wf us who: does not know in his innermost heart that he has bartered things of great worth for mere baub- bles or worse? “There are men today who are jug- gling with the priceless birthright of Issau | ELL THEIR T, SAYS CLEA citizenship, and. willing ‘to, barter it {for ‘gold or polftical preferment. It is difficult to understand, but it is so. I had the privilege of listening to a wonderful statement of the biess- ings American citizenship brought to | him, a poor ‘boy of foreigi birth, by one of the citizens of this very city, and as his voice rang in earnest and loving appreciation of the blessings ‘bestowed ‘on him by our dear coun- try, ‘I,lmew that neither gold or pow- er could tempt him from his devoted service. . “And there are men today, many of them, who.are juggling with the priceless heritage of Christ’s most holy religion. For a morsel of this ; world’s savory stew, all the glory and blessing brought by God to man in Christ Jesus, is thrown to the winds. | The time will, come when we -will ; again seek this birthright, but to find { that there is no place for our repent-| ince ,though we seek it carefully. with tears. Sad words these. the tragedy of life. But they are; \ true. , | “Now what does the gospél say to | all this? No philosophy, no scienc’ ;com show a remedy.

Unending remorse} and dispair is swallowed up in the Preceding the sermon the Second In-} fantry band of Harvey gave a most delightful program. of numbers un- der the direction of Harold E. Bach- man. The! boys were heartily encored after Rev. Buzzelle assured the large} congregation that it would not dese- crate the Salath by applauding the, boys for their fine music. Favoritg! hymns’ were sung with the band ac- companying.
