liness. There is an atmosphere about it into which let the soul once come, and all the spiritual sensibilities are stupefied as by a noxious narcotic. It has been the dread way to death, and the entrance to the in fernal regions for unnumbered thousands, who, because of its deadly influence upon the soul, have become indifferent to the fearful issue of a life lived in sin.— Illustra tions from Mythology, by Biederwolf.

MOODY - y ^ This was the challenge he answered: “The world has yet to see what God can do with a man who yields to Him fully.” Now the world has seen in the loom ing figure of the great Moody, win ner of souls, whose centenary Chris tians everywhere are celebrating.

Memory Verse: “Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth” (Psa. 119:151). Approach: You can imagine how Esau hated Jacob after Jacob had stolen his blessing. Esau was so angry that he deter

Jacob knew that really he was being sent away because it was dangerous for him to stay at home any longer. The first night he got as far as Bethel. I wonder whether he began to be sorry for the deceit and trickery that had driven him from home. I wonder whether he was sor ry that he had not waited for God to give him the good things that had been prom ised, instead of hurrying to get them in his own way. At any rate, we find Jacob using one of the stones for a pillow and lying down out under the stars to sleep. God had not forgotten Jacob. He would keep His promise, even if Jacob did not deserve it. God knew how lonely and sad Jacob was that night. God gave Jacob a dream and in it He told him again the promise that He had made to Abraham, his grandfather. When Jacob awoke, he said: “Surely the Lord is in this place; and I knew it not.” Never would Jacob need to be lonely again, for wherever he went, God would be with him.
