Memorial day racalls (o every Amer- | lean the sacred memory of our Na- tion’s obligation 10 the herole men who offered their lives that our land could ha frae and ha preserved among the nations. Our patriotism is quick- ened when we racall how through their sacrifices aur country has ad- ced by helding up tha torch of fres- dom amonz men. Through our in- fluence we have seen nations change their form of government and the an- cient autocratic dynasties disappear Natfon's history can he seen the pres. ence and purpose of God, whe has molded our history and, directed the affaita of our Natlon 'through th diera, sailors and statemen, ta America here international lead- ership. In studying the experience of Jacob st Bethel, we are drawing close (o the fountainhead of our national ideals. Probably no figure in the Old Testa- ment has heen more misundersieod than the founder of the great Jewish race. We are apt 10 speak of Abra- ham as the father of lsrael. rather than his grandson. whe gave 1o the ewith peopls his name and estab. lished through his sons s more ex clusive line than Abraham. In the history of the race thar bears his name, we find 3 peopls who have re- diiced in their aspirations and the vorld's loftie: igious literature the life of their foun American history been molded by the ideals of the Blhla that God gave to men through inspired Jewish writers. The history of not only Israel but that of eur own Nation and of the worid has been in- fluenced hy tha revelations given to Jacob at Bethel. The Bartered Birthright. By the accident of birth Esav had L the privileges of nrichnl:.ur-. To 3 son of the patriarchal the hirthright of the first born was the high prissthood.” No ons who studies the personalities of tha two brothers guestions the better fitness for God's service of Jacob. He aspired to succead his father as the priest of the family and the minister of the community in the sscred things. Ged had recognized the unfitness of Esau for the place and had told Rebecca that He planned a change by which ‘“the elder would serve the younger." He was a man of affairs who was absorbed in the claims of the present. Unlike Jacob, who tried to look ahead 10 the future with the aspiring ambi- tion to be the high priest of his family. Esau despised his birthright, He was frank, open hearted and affec. tionate, possessing many noble quall- ties of heart, yei thera was nothing religious in his life. He showed this in his marriage; that of itself would have barred him from any of th privileges of primogeniture. showed his conception of his birth- right by bartering it away for a mess of pottage. No one can find any- thing to commend in the way Jacob took advan of Edeu'a hunger any OY cAn lporov. of the upon his u,.' tion of his mother, Rebekah, who by the most despicable deceit sought to aecure the father's blessing for her favorite son.
