That niRht Jacob balls by the brook Jabbok. l!ut there lfl no rest forthe wn.ry man, no shlntniz ladder to let the nnRlsdown into his Irnjirn, but a fierce comnr, that Lists until the morn Ins, with an unknown visitor. They each try to throw the other. The unknown visit or, to rjval his surmrior power, by n touch wrenches Jacob's thltrh bone from its socket, p-rhaps maiming him for life. As on the morning sky the clusters of pnrple cloud be pln to i i pen Jacob sees it is an angel with whom he bos lecn contending, and not one of his brother's coadjutors. "Let me go," cries the angnl, Hrtlug himself up into iu crRaslnir. litflit, "The day breaketli 1" You see, In the first place, that Go 1 allows good people sometimes to get Into aterrible Mru-le. Jacob was a good man. but h.-re he Is loft alone In the midnight to wrestle with a tremendous influeace by the brook Jibbolc. For Joseph, a pit; for Daniel, a wild boast den ; for David, dethronement and exile; for John the Baotist. a wilderness diet and the executioner's axffor Peter, a prison ; for Paul, shipwreck ; for John, deso- i late Patrnos, for Vashtl, most insulting rruelty ; for Josephine, banishment ; for Mrs. Kitmnrn.- th n.rtn,. rt rlmn!r..:l,B .

For whom the rocks, the gibbets, the guillotines, the tbumlcrews? For the ions nnd daughters of the Lord Ood Al mighty. Some one said to a Christian re former, "The world is against you." "Then,' he replied, "I am against the world." I will go further and siiy that every Curls- nis struggle, imb man had his mbat in Wall street ; this on on Broad ! i! reel ; mis one on Fulton street ; this one on Uhestnut street ; this one on State street ; this one on Lombard street ; this one on the bourse. With financial misfortune you have had the midnight wrestle. lied hot disasters have dropped into your store from loft to cellar. What you bought you could not sill. Whom you trusted fle-i. The help you es f"ted would not come. Borne giant panic, with long ar-ns and grip like death, toot hold of yon in an awful wrestle from which rou have not yet escaped, an 1 It is uii.vr ;ain wle ther it will throw you or you will throw it. 11-re is another soul in struggle with so ns bad appetite. Ho knew not how stealthily Was growing upon him. One hour lie woke np. He sal t, "For the sake of my loul, of my family, and of my children, and f my God, I must stop this I And, behold, he fouud himself alone l.y the brook Ja'. ook:, and It was mldniht. Tn-it evil appe tite seiz"d upon him, end he s -ize i upon it, sod. oh, the horror of the conflict I Whu snco a Imd habit has aroused itself up to Mu tt roy a man and the man has sworn that, by ,be help ol the eternal Go 1, he will destroy it, all heaven draws Itself out In a long lino ( light to look from aoovo, nn 1 hell Wretches Itself In myrmidons of spits to look np from beneath. I have seen men rally themselves for such a struggle, and they have bitten their lips nnd clinched their lists and cried, with a blool rod earnest- oess nn 1 a rain of scalding tears, "Gol help me 1" From a wre.stlo with habit I have seen men mil Nack defeated. Calling for no help, but reiyuigoa tneir own resolutions, they have come into the struggle, ani for a time It scorned as if they were getting the upper hand of their ha'-it. but that habit ralliel again its Infernal power an 1 lifte 1 a soul from its standing, and with a fnrc borrow I from the pit liurto 1 it Itdo ult T darkness. First I saw the auctioneer's mallet fall on Iho pictures an 1 musical instruments nn I tin rich uplioistery of his family parlor. After awnile I saw him fall Into tne ditch. Then, lathe mi'inight, when the children were drenmin ; their sweetest dreams nnd Chris tian households are silent with elumW, an gel wat'-ned, I h:ard him glvo the sharp shriek that followed tin stab of his own poniar 1.

Bhe fought for bread, for clothing, for lire, for shelter, with aching head, nnd weak side, and exhausted strength, through the longnight by the brook Ja tok. Could it be that none would give her help? II;, (j0,i forgotten to be gracious? N , ku.tending soul! The midnight air is full of wings co ning to the rescue. Hhe he irs it now In the sough of the night wind, In the ripple of the brook Jubiiok the prom ise made so long ago ringing down the sky, "Thy fatherless children. I will preserve th.:n al.v, and let thy widows trust In Me!" Some one said to a vrv poor woman, 'How is it that in mi -h distress you keep cheerful V" She said : "I do It by what I call cross prayers When I had my rent to pay and nothing to pay it with, and bread to buy an I nothing to buy it with. I used tositdown and cry. Jiut now I do not get disc iyra get It I go along the street, when I come to a corner it the street I s ty.

Learn again from this subject that people r-. . . . jMirprise'i to ii n i our that what th-y have been struggling with In the dark- -s is really an "angel of blessing."'

If you are a Christian man, I will ir. ha.k in your hLstory and find that the linn 1-ft thini-s that have ev.r happened to yon have been your trlaK X.Mhini short of s.'.iiiriiins., imprisonment ani shipwreck could have ma.te Taul wnat he was. When David was Ninj through the wil derness pursued by his own -n. he was be ini prepared to become the swt sini:er of Israel. The pit and the dungeon were the best sehools at which Joseph ever -ra lu ite 1. The hurrieane that nps-'t the tent and killed Job's children prepared the man of Us to write the mairnlQjent po-m that has as tounded the ai;ee. There Is no way to pet the wh'at out of the straw but to thrash it. There Is no way to purtry the irol.1 tint to bnrn it. Look at the p-ople who have ha 1 their own way. They are proud, discontent ed, useless and unhappy. If you want to And cheerful folks, go among those who have been purified by the tire.

Learn again that while our wrestling with troable may be triumphant we must ex pect that it will leave Its mark upon us.

Do not be out of patience with those who come not out of their despondency They may triumph over their loss, and yet their gait shall tell you that they have been troa'.le touched. Are we stoics that we can, un moved, see on r era-lie rifl I of the bright eyes and the sweet lips? Can we stan i un moved and see our gardens of earthly de light uprooted? Will J'-s-.is, w'io wept Him self, be angry with us if v pour our tears Into the graves that nvn to swallow down what we love best? Was Lazarus more tleai to Him than our beloved dead to us? No We have a ri-ht to wtxp. Our te-irs mus come. You shall not drive them back to scald the heart. Ttiey fall into God's bottle. Afflicted ones have died because they could not weep.

Again, we may take the idea of the text and announce the approach of the day dawn. No one was ever more glad to see tho morn ing than was Jacob after that night of strug gle. It Is appropriate for philanthropists nnd Christians to cry out with this angel ol the text, "The day breaketh.'' The world's prospects are brightening. The church ol Christ ts rising up in its strength to go forth "fair as the moon, clear as the sun and terri ble ns an army with banners." Clap your hands, all ye people, the day , i.reaKetii. rue Digotnes ot tho earth are perishing. The time wis when we were told that If we wanted to get to heaven w mnst be immersed or sprinkle 1, or we must believe in the perseverance of the saints, or In falling away from grace, or a liturgy or no liturgy, or they mutt be Calvinists or Armininns in order to renc'i heaven. We have all come to confess now that those nr. nonessentials in religion.

As I look upon this an li-nce I see many who bavo pass-d through w.ivs of troable that came up higher than taeir girdle In God's name I proclaim cessation of hostili ties. You shall not go away saddened nn I broken-hearted. Gol will lilt your burden. God will bring your dead to life. Gol will stanch the heart s bleeding.
