One had grossly and oully wrpnged the others Jacob had Viwn bitterness In Esau's heart and . more. In this .bargain. Jacob un :iad reapea It In JU own. By guile scrupulously got tha advantage of his hi. hrnthr and bv senior partner. He was the sort of ?ulle he had in turn b?en wronged "y another. " Men usually perish by he same sortr of sword they, take p. After years of exile, Jacob cried leace to Esau, offering Indemnities or " ropltlatory glf ta, and jhla brother Magnanimously answered htm.

Hlmrelf the world s most lamous usness man. and the progenitor of he most, eminent business race, Ja ob's story is a mixture of . trickery, allure and success..

There he had fallen in Iovt '1th hia cousin, Rachel, anl.had made deal with her father that he should celve her In marriage, he, in return, lving seven years of unpaid service, his mother's brother. The proposed uptials waa celebrated by 'a carouse nd Jacob woke up In the morning i find himself the husband. of Ra hel's older sister, Leah, thesore- yed. There was a rude poetic Justice In J his substitution. It was so char- cterlstically a Jacob sort of trick. 7e was being paid back In his own oln.

Romance cherishes the passage in Jacob record which declares, "And Jacob . served" seven years (or Rachel; and they seemed un to him but a few days, (or the love he had to her." Consistently, this fine passion (or the-woman whom he had first met as a beautiful maiden by the well-aide, shines through Jacob's life. His devotion to Joseph and Benjamin was because they were the children of the bride of hie . heart No man can be wholly bad, or entirely alien from the Ood whose other name la love, who Is capable of such beauti ful and constant affection. - . Of course it waa a polygamous household, Utter the generalfashlon , k. .aak .'vi. wives. Jacob had two concubines, U" four were the mothers of hto tweW, 80n3 and one daughter.

L WO wives, jacoo inauo a pruni-niur-i In a arranaement with hia uncle fath-1 er-ln-law. whereby he toiled six years business man who would sell shoddy for wool and whose devious way have been followed by not a few men since. At the end of the period, Ln ban had most of the experience and Jacob most of the Business. , Between Two Enemies. J When th'ngs got too hot for Ja cob in 'Haran he started, IT, secret ly, with his wives and children and DOsaesions for Canaan. It wa fllaht from the uncle whom he had wrong from the uncle whom he had wrong- ed, toward the brother whom he had defrauded. , There is no smooth and open road anywhere In front of the dishonest man. Nobody shoul denvy the wrong-doer. He has paid too high for his Ill-gotten gains. There occurs to me the Instance of a present-day Jacob, a professedly pious business man. who la ambitious to stand high in this city as a public man. But his private practices In business follow hjm everywhere, and have already laid him low, so far as civic prefer ment Is concerned. I have heard him called "a crook" In so many circles and by so many men whose favor he covets, that If he knew all he would straightway enter upon a course of restitution, even though it led to poverty. The Jacob kind of business simply does not pay'. "There's a way that seemeth ht unto men. but the end thereof are the ways of death." Hampered by his household and his flocks, Jacob was soon overtaken by Laban in the mountains east of the Jordan. In a dream on the seventh night Laban was warned of God to let his son-in-law alone. So, after mutual recriminations, they made a treaty of peace by setting up a bound ary stone, beyond " which neither would pass in pursuit of the other. They called It 'Mlzpah,' meaning "Je hovah watch between- me and thee, when we are absent one from anoth er." "Mlzpah" is now a watchword of the Christian Endeavor societies; ana they close their services with it, most of the members being quite un aware, that, far from being a tender and fraternal benediction between friends, it bears quite the opposite meaning: Neither Laban . nor Jacob trusted the other, and by this stone each called upon Jehovah to keep an eye upon the other. With Laban disponed of, Jacob had now to look forward to Esau, whose wrath he. nightly feared. Pity the flight of a timorous manl The proce dure followed by Jacb repreaanui tn diplomacy of the east. He sent pro pitiatory messengers to Esau, and got back the word that his brother, was on the way with four hundred men! Horror upon horror! Was ever a child of Abraham In such fear? . Resourceful, as, usual, Jacob divided his family and goods into two parts that one at , least . might escape. ' Then he betook himself to prayer, It was a noble prayer, reglaterlng the . ad vance that this man of thfr troubled career had made In religious ex perience.1 It pleaded the promises, and confessed hia own unworthiness, and told the Lord just what deliverance Jacob sought, and adduced the unsel fish and epecious reasons therefor. .Then to faith, Jacob added works. He sent forward in nine separate and successive installments a royal gift of livestock to his brother. The 'bearers of each portion were carefully coach ed as to what -they should say to Esau, until the brother's wrath should be appeased by presents and 'good will. Following this measure, Jacob sent his company over the Jabbok, while he himself remained behind In agony of soul. When .Tncob Wrestled. 1 Then came the night of nights, the climax of this crowded career. It was a tragic time.-Peril of death awaited on the morrow. Jacob knew that he had merited the worst that hia broth er could do to him. To appease Eau's wrath he had offered up his pride and- his goods. Even of his family's ; safety he despaired.' ! Now. alone in the darkness by .the stream, he faced the criaia of his life. His en tire previous seal of values had. been discredited. His own. pride was ham bled. ' Jacob was a chastened, affright ed man,, eager for peace with his fel low man and with Ood. . ; Then befell the strange experience of the night of wrestling, ; which' Is a Vivid picture of the seasons of soul atruggla that all know who have greatly lived.

Jacob had spent a night cf tt : : . .. v : Jehovah, t:.e turnL. -; i o,,x i:i 'h.s career,' wfterein his nature was ehanjed. So he was ready on the morrow to meet Esau. Penitence was matched by mag nanimity. The transformed Jacob was met by chivalrous Esau. The meeting that might have been strife and continuation of bitterness, prov ed to be a brotherly reunion, each trying to outdo the other in gener osity. Peace, permanent peace, fol lowed the reconciliation, because at least one of the parties thereto had been having a profound transaction with God. '- What says tha story to us-t Many things, some of which have been Im plied in this telling. After world strife there must be world peace.

Edison and to have been one of the founders of the General Electric company in the United 8tatea but who Is now one of the leading Industralists In Germany, said today: "On the second day of the revolu tion we started in to work on peace orders, of which we have enough booked to keep our .80,000 employes busy for two years. . "Thla holds good for virtually every plant of any importance in Germany. The country has been literally worn threadbare in ajl I.nes. Just as we have been turning our garments In side out we have helped ourselves along with a multitude of substitute devices in other directions. "We are badly in need of rolling stock, agricultural implements, tur bines and a thousand other things In the line of heavy steel construction. Our houses need new roofs and new paint. We must start in making everything fresh, from the clothespin to the automobile. ,We also , are ready market for flniehed products." Herr Bergmann was not -apprehensive of disturbances If the food situa tion holds out. ' "If the 6.000,000 or more men now returning from the front are given three square meals a day and steady work." said Herr Bergmann,. "there will be no Bolshevism in Germany. The German working ,man will not think of mischief so long as he haa a comfortable fireside and something to keen him busy. .. ' ...... , "The fighting ' men, too, are well disciplined. I have Implicit faith' In their ability and willingness to adjust themselves to normal life 'af ter four years of war. All that Is need ed la to kef p them healthy and well clothed.

This la especially, true In tha sections covered by the hydro-electric power plants of Charlotte and other Industrial centers, .

The predictions have come true to date.. In addition to the,1 factories run by waterpower there are scores of ethers operated In the old, way. An Interesting fact about the devel opment In Catawba county one of the most progressive counties In the south is that small factories there have begun to compete with the west for the work-glove trade.
