DBut alasl - no moro as a beautiful visjon of tnapiring hopo, no more in tho shapo of & laddor with angels feading up umto Heaven, but in the dreadful shadov nf & woe-stricken conscience, in the form of a dark, namelesn power ot whoss touch all his strength gave way snd his _lolns snrank snd shriveled, Tlio paat stood before his mind a failure, bie life s fraud, The burden of ainfulness weighed heavily upon his aoul, prassing bitter tears from bineyes. It wasm a fearful B%T thun raging withfn hia benrt, yot while by repentanca it swept away the past like a miat,” tha future dawned unto him with new filory. Jacob, the Jow, nay subdued; Iersol, the &udly. ruse. Tho sup- planter waa boaten, the belter man won. Jacob's ignoble and trioky disposition Lss. as yoa woll know, becn nsed by many tocast s slar oo the Jawish character and to discredit our people. Yet nowlaero in Holy Seripturo 13 the {ntention shown to fuatify or to whitewaeh bim, On tho contrary, the sama_prophets who point to Abra- bam s8 the nobla **rock outof which we are hewn,” uphesitatingly (charge Jacob with moanness, clasaing = him with the Pheniolan, tho deceitful traitor. Moroe. over, it is the scarcely conconlod purpose of tho eacred writora to blot out tho name of Jacob, with tho blomish resting on it and Lo replace it by that of Isracl, su.sestive of their peoplo’s divine calliog. Indood, Isracl, the champion of God aapiring to hoavon's high- cut gifts, 1a the true’ prototype of tho Jowlsh people, nay, of mankind. Opon a8 tho Balinra lion to the ulngolng blaze of tfm sun and the aweoping force of the hnrri- cano, %o ia tho boart of the Orlental man, par- ticnlarly of tho Bodonin, to the glowing heat of pasaion and tho froo display of the soul's emo- tions. It is the samo as that of the highiy-odu. cated Europoan, but, uncheoked by thé restralute of civilized socioty, it 18 mors apt to botray its eocrota. 'Tho swo differcnt drifta of the human son!_aro theraforo tho moro oasily found in Jacob than in s man of modern dut turo. Novertholews, thoy aro thero, the two spirits battilng for the dominlon. Thera selfishness is plosting against the feeblo and tho blind. There gooduess is ever desiroun to brinyg the world within ita own grasp.

Tho divine spirit yesraing for tho eoul's finnoer tronsures, slowly duvulngs Itsolf, ofton silenced, aud, but st & iato honr, roused by trisls apa toars. Do not wait until the crisis comes. Delay not nntil the biasts of romorss make you feel with torror that there is more reality in tha wanta of tho soul than in all tho resourcos of your power and fortune, Selfishness is hell. To feel se God feols for avery croaturo, is to tasts Heaven's swootness, Lot your own plossure till other souls with joy and gratofulnoss, make other peo- plo's snfforiog thnil with sympathy through our veins, and you turn earth into Hoaven, Yom into gold. Lot tho animal within you suio- cumb snd God-like love aad righteousness pre- vail, and tho ongels will shout triumph unto on. Iut prido and lust, the desire for gain and nxury, ol tho appetitcs which dnvo the wheols of your lifo's fabrio under the control of the Divino Spirlt with- ln you, and, hke misty clonds around the rising and setting sun, they, with all thoir shades and hues, will form s golden cuariot of victory loading you unto Hoaven's hoights. Euwrap your mind with all its thirss for knowl- odge, and your leart with all its longing for tho good with your selfiehnoss, and, like tho serpent coiling Around the troo of lito, iz will, in all its enticing gifts, offer you but & scorch- ing bell-fire and doath.

You aro still tho Prinoo of the Lord, God's imags, & divino champlon. Only lot tho future atone for the past. ‘Fhough bruised and wouuded, do not kive up tho battlo antil your better solf has ained tho upper kand, aud’tho subdued, the de- femd. will st last bless you at the morning's dawn. But there ia s higher_losson inculcated by our story in regard to tho Jewish people. Puzzliog and” mystorious 88 Jacob's wmlllni is the strugglo of his descendanta, through tho sgos, with o huge, namaloss power, in tho gloom of s night that seemed never to end, nttacking them on all sidos and crippling them, yet withont subduing thom, Heared and chased along Ly dread aud batred, yet, uulike Jacob, without avs guilt of its own, the Jowieh people shared itg aucostors’ lot, A'wice driven awsy from 1ts Liome, denied tho Hfih: to own laud, excludod irom bumau sympathy, checked and lamed in ity growth by eruel prejudico and desposiem, it bas for centuries been the Pariah among tho peo- ple, the Cindorolla among the nations. Ite &mh {s marked with blood and tears, but seldom brightenod by Bunshino and roses on the way. A pilgrim, & {fugitive every- whers, having nothinj bLut o stall In us band and Qod, tho God of his fathers, st beart, Ieraol, indeed, was the man of sor- tow, bearing the muiyr‘u crown on his hoad. Aund yet bo olaims Lthe victory over his oppres- sors, bolleves in his triumph oyerhis foes, pointing to God's promiscs, and contidontly waiting for thoir fulfillmont. But whoro is our victory? Wo have beon promised a land flow- ing with milk sod boney, but had scarcely taken posseseton of it whben we lout it & socond time, nover to regain it. Wo have bsen prom- ised to cqual In numbera tho stars of beaven and the sand npon the shore of tho gen, but re- mained a emall people, scattored abroad over the oarth, Iacking influenco aud power. 'Trus, Jows did overywhere rido to prominonag, earn- ing laurols inovery branch of kunowledgo aud industry, winning " praise for their pmisuthro. py. They becaws magnatos and kiugs in tho ‘monoy-markot, loaders in political and acientifle oircles. And this no loss undor the ruls of the enlightoned Ptolomean, Persian, and Mohammedao Kings than under the liboral sway of modern timos.
