THE SUNDAY SCHOOL IESSON I, SECOND QUARTER, INTER NATIONAL SERIES, APRIL 7. Vest of the Ltainn, Gen. xivlll, 1-5, 10-22 Memory Vrrira, 1", H uolil en Test, Gen. xxvilt, 15 Commen tary Prepared by Hev. D. M. Stearns. .Copyright, 1907, by American Pre Association. This lesson follows closely tUe last one we had in Gouesls throe weeks ago and takes up the story just where that lesson left it. We see Jacob leav ing home to go away iuto the land from which his mother came full forty yeara before (xxvi, 34) that he might take a wife from anion;.; the daughters Of Labau, his mothers brother. It U written in IIos. xii, 12, conoeruiu this, "Jacob fled iuto the country of Syria, and Israel served for u wife, and for a wife he kept sheep." In the story of Isaac and Kebekah, Jacob an. I i'.achel, Joseph and Aseuath, Moses and .'. porah. Boas and Kuth and others there is much that is typical or at least sug gestive of Christ and Israel or Christ and the church, remembering always that Israel and the church are never the same. The special blessing given to Abra ham, Isaac and Jacob centers In the laud and the people (verse 4), and the certai'.ity of the fulfillment of the promises is the topic of all prophecy. The name Uod Almighty Kl SShad dal the all sullicieut Due or the mighty God who is enough for all, by which He revealed Himself to Abraham and afterward to Jacob (svii, 1; xxxv, 11), seems to have taken held of their hearts, for Isaac uses it in verse 3 of our lesson, and Jacob uses it in his blessing upon Joseph (xlix. 2"i). It is associated with blessing and fruit ful ' liess and separation unto Uod Himself and Is set forth in John xv us abiding la the vine that there may be much fruit to God's glory. Xot merely life, but life abundantly, is His desire for us, and all hindrance Is on our side (John s, 10; l's. lxxxi, 13-10). We turn to Jacob on his lonely jour ney from Ilcersucbn. almost the ex treme south, aud we may imagine that as he journeyed the enormity of bis sin took hold of him and the good ness of God wrought true repentance In his heart, so that on this uight of which our lesson tells us he was prob .j ably a true penitent in God's sight. The place was not far from the place of Abram's second altar in the land where he worshiped God. Compare Xii, S, and verse 10 of our lesson. With the earth for his bed, stones for his pillows uud the sky for his canopy, he lay down to sleep, not knowing the special Interest that the God of his fathers was taking in him because of His promises to them. He slept and he dreamed, and how beautiful his dream a ladder from earth to heaven, .with the Lord above it aud angels ascending aud descending upon it (verses 12, 13), an assurance of the Lord's watchful care, of connection between heaven aud earth and a prophecy of coming events yet to be fulfilled. I would not be surprised If some day we shall be told by Na I thanael that he was meditating upon this very vision when Jesus saw him under the fig tree, for Jesus Himself evidently refers to It in connection with the glory of the kingdom (John 1, 50. 51). Some helpful lessons are suggested by the ladder as to the way from earth to heaven. There is no way but the one God has provided, even He who said, "I am the way." He came down to earth, took upon Him our nature, died in our stead, rose from the dead and returned to the Father, where He now is for us. The angels ministered to Ilim while He was here, and we are assured that they minister to us (Heb. i. 111. As there is no possibility of mounting a ladder while one foot Is on the earth, so there is no possi- bllity of being saved without commit ting oneself wholly to Christ. The full significance of the ladder will be seen only when the kingdom comes, aud all nations, to their great surprise, shall see that God rueaut exuetly what He said in reference to the land and the people and all the families of the earth. The first promise to Abram concerning his seed was that It should be as the dust of the earth, then as the stars of heaven; then both were com bined. After that they were divided and the star promise given to Isaac and the dust or sand to. Jacob (Gen. xiii. 1C; xv, 5; xxil. 17; xxvl, 4; xxvlll, 14). There at leaf-t a suggestion here of Abraham's two seeds, tin heavenly and the earthly, the church and Israel, the new Jerusalem and Je rusalem on the earth, all of which will be clearly seen in the kingdom. We may always say, as Jacob snid. "The Lord is in this place" (verse 10), but we need never say, "I knew it not," for we have His assurance, "L'. I am with you alway." But, move wonderful still, each Individual believ er is now a Bethel, a house of God, according to John xlv, 13. v 1 Taking verses 20-22 just as they reHd, It looks aa if Jacob was making a 1 ar galn with God, saying that 1 G3d would do as He bad said then Jacob would give Ilim a tenth of all. When Abram gave tithes to Melchiscedek. there was no such bargaining, but a glad giving, a cheerful giving, such as God loves. Reading verse 20 "sine" God" Instead of "If God" looks more like faith.

Per Good Road In Porto Rico. The legislature of Porto Rico has au thorized a loan of $1,000,000, the pro ceeds of which are to be devoted to Im proving the highways. This action on the part of the legislature. It Is said, has been brought about because of the difficulties enomintered In getting the products of the Island to market. It Is believed that by the expenditure of $1,000,000 the highways can be greatly Improved. Women as Well as Men Are Made Miserable by Kidney and Bladder Trouble.

Savannah, Ga. ii..ir i m any i e: Three ways are used by farmers for curing and preparing their to bacco for the market; namely sun cured, air cured and flue cured. The old and cheap way" is called air cured; the later discovery and im proved way is called flue cured. In flue curing the tobacco is taken from the fields and racked in barns especially built to retain heat and there subjected to a continuous high temperature, produced by the direct heat of flame heated flues, which brings out in the tobacco that stimulating taste and aroma that expert roasting develops in green coffee. These similar processes give to both tobacco and coffee the cheer ing and stimulating quality that pop ularizes their use. The quality of tobacco depends much on the curing process and the kind of soil that produces it, as ex pert tests prove that this flue cured R. J. Reynolds Tobacco' Company, Winston-Salem, N. C. Female i' "Last Fall," writes Mrs. S, G. Bailey, of Tun nelton, W. Va., "I was going down by inches, from female disease, with great pain. After tak ing Cardui, Ohl Myl Howl was benefited! I am not well yet, but am so much better that I will keep on taking Wine of Cardui till I am perfectly cured." Despite the envious attacks of jealous enemies and rivals, Cardui still holds supreme position today as in the past 70 years for the relief and cure of female diseases. It stops pain, tones up the organs, regulates organs the functions, and aids in the replacement of a misplaced organ.

Tcnn. $7.00 tobacco, grown in the famous Pied mont region, requires and takes less sweetening than tobacco grown in any other section of the United States and has a wholesome, stimulating, juicy, full tobacco taste that satisfies tobacco hunger. That's why chewers prefer Schnapps, because Schnapps cheers more than any other chewing tobacco, and that's why chewers of Schnapps pass the good thing along one chewer makes other chewers, until the fact is established that there are more chewers and more pounds of tobacco chewed to the population in states where Schnapps tobacco is sold than there are in those states where Schnapps has not yet been offered to the trade. A ioc. plug of Schnapps is more economical than a much larger ioc. plug of cheap tobacco. Sold at 50c per pound in 5c. cuts. Strictly 10 and 15 cent plugs.
