This event can be dated somewhere near 1760 B.C. Place. The beginning of our story Is laid In Beer-sheba, In outhern Palestine, but the dreMn of Jacob takes place at Bethel, twelve miles north of Jerusalem. Jacob's Flight 10. ''And Jacob went out from Beor-sheba, and went toward Har- an. 11. And he lighted upon a certain place, and tarried there alt night, because the sun was set; and he took one of the stones of the place, and put It under his head, and lay down In that place to sleep." Meditating much ajid praying much, Jacob had on this journey drawn near to God, and Is at laat accepted. The Interest 1n Jacob's life lies 1n the gradual Improvement and progrewi of hU character. Jacob's Dream 12. "And he dreamed; and, be- hold, a ladder set up OB the earth, and the top of It reached to hear- en; and, behold, the angtli of God ascending and descending on It. 13. And, behold, Jehovah stood above It, and said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land whereon thou llest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed; 14. and thy eeed shall be ae the dust of the earth, and thou shall spread albroa/1 to the west, and to t*e a*t, and to the north, and to the south: and In thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed. IB. And, behold, I am with thee. and will keep thee whithersoever thou goeat, and will bring thee again Into this landj for 1 will not leave thee, until I have done that which I have spok- n to thee of." In his sleep Jacob sees a lad- der, or staircase, rising from the ground at his elde, and reaching up to heaven. It tells him that heaven and earth are united, and that there Is a way from one to the other. Upon those stairs 'mess- pnKers of Klohim are ascending and descending,' carrying up to f!od men'a prayers, and the tale of their wants and sorrows, of Iheir faith and hope and trust; and bringing down to them help and comfort and blessing. At the head of the ladder Jehovah him- self stands. The word Is that used In chap. 24:13, and signifies that the Deity was not there accident- ally, hut that He holds there His permanpnt station. Finally, Je- hovah from His heavenly past confirms to Jacob all the prom- ises made from the time when Abraham left Ur of the Chaldees, and asurfis him of His constant prpRMire and protection. Jacob's Awakening 16. "And Jacob awaked out of his sleep, and he said, Surely Je- hovah Is in this place; and I knew It not. 17. And be was afraid, and said, How dreadful Is this place! this is none other than the house of God. and this Is the Kate of heaven." Jacob did not say God caine to me In the night, God has visited me, God was here yeater- nlRM and now has gone. He did not awake to the consciousness of a visit; He awoke to the con- sciousness of a presence. The thing that he found out that night wan not 111:11 '.'"I visits man, but that (;od Is with man wherever lie Is. We expect to meet Him In the sanctuary; but He Is near us In thi marketplace. We look for the gleaming of the Klory of lita faoe> at the holy shrine; but He It surely with us In the den of wick- edness. Not alone In the sanctuary, but where the multitudes gather ID defiance of His law; Ha la there. This ta the truth to which Jacob awoke. 18. "And Jacob rose ui> early In the morning, and took the *tone that he had put under his. head, iiod set It up for a pillar, and poured oil upon the top of It. 19. And ha called the name of that place Beth -el: but tht name of the city was LUE at the flrit. 30. And Jaodb vowed a vow. say- la*;. If Ood will be wltfc me. and wfll kep me In this way that 1 no. and will give me bread to eat, and raiment to put on, II. so that I ooms again to my father's house la peace, and Jehovah will be mj Ood. M. then this stone, which I bave set for a pillar, hall be iJod's house: and of all that thou halt give me I will surely give Uie (nth unto Uiee." Jacob's reeponje o this Divine revelation shows that, In spite of everything, he liad that In hi* aoul which reach- ed out towards the Dlrln* will, however unworthy and wrong were the methods that he used. It Is a treat thing that Jaob real- l*ee his need of Ood and that ke makes this resolution, under what- ever condition, Mknowledglne Ood Premier Churchill is reported to be preparing his own account of the war, to be published when victory is won. His method is to employ a staff of students to look up facts and figures and then, on the basis of notes supplied by re- search workers, he dictates at an astounding speed. The Premier's work is set into type with extra wide margins which give him space in which to build his lucid expositions. Each sheet is scored with numerous corrections in Mr. Churchill's bold, legible handwriting to await the day when publication will be- come diplomatically possible . . . Mr. Churchill, incidentally stir- red many memories when he re- ferred in the House of Commons to war correspondents in Libya. He once was a war correspondent himself, sending dispatches on the Boer War to the Morning Post. During that campaign, Mr. Churchill was taken prisoner and despite his demands for release ai a war correspondent was sent to an improvised concentration camp. It held him for three weeks before he passed boldly within five yards of a sentry ai the gates and walked into Pre- toria.

CKOC in Hamilton will again be with the CBC Network in broadcasting their daily thirty-minute round of fun and merriment! * The knot-hole kid, Charlie Mc- Carthy, and his stooge, Edgar Bergen, made $282,000.00 last year. This is more money than their broadcast time employers paid their three top ranking exe- cutives in the same period. The President of the Company drew only $75,000.00 so who says, it's dumb to be a dummy? And SCOUTING . . . Fifty Boy Scouts of the 1st and 2nd Woodstock, N.B. Scout Troop* made whet probably Is a salvage record. In an all-day salvage drive, lasting from 8 a.m. till mldnlgbt they filled a warehouse with uied material of all kinds to the value of $600. The first flOO received was presented to the Red Crou. The Scouts launched the cam- paign when adults failed to move, and are now handling R as the official salvage organization.

Typically youth- ful, brimful of the fun- and pranks of the typical teen-age. Penny's Diary caught on with it* Thursday night Canadian audi- ence. The show returns among the first of the new September season, on September 4th. That's a FRIDAY night instead of the remembered Thursday night show. But the time is the same 8.30 p.m. and the show ha* been somewhat revamped to give even more play to its many fun possi- bilities. As radio gats into ita yreateet fall and winter, it steps out amidst grave events, demanding grave consideration and an even higher sense of duty than at any time in tl, part. News will be handled even more carefully patriotic programs will have more of the punch of brutal reality to them comedy will be real comedy ;,.. bring the necessary laugh* and smiles to one and all; staffs of stations are being depleted many of the ranks of the stars are los- ing- men and women with almost alarming rapidity; thus, the sea- son will be a 'tough' one, for those who do the broadcasting, put on the programs, and see to it that the well-oiled wheels of the nation's greatest entertainment media keep moving- steadily. The problems of your local station are- much the same aav those of the national broadcasters, and when you listen in this fall, you will da well to realize that in every in- stance, one man or one woman probably doing the work two or three did in season's past. Hn<- courage their effort and listen appreciably to the new radio sea- son! * * For singing treat, not ia th Hit Parade, listen to John Cfaarle* Thomas, famous American bari- tone, doing his recorded Tendon of the old Spiritual "Jeurney' End!"

Their disdain reached it* height before the plain, unpretentious exterior of the Prime Minister's residence on Downing street. "What m home for a Prime Minister I" one of them exclaimed. "Yes, and look at that cart" said the other. In front of the residence stood a small runabout. "Why, in New York, grocery clerk would be ashamed of own- ing nothing better," the other added. Just then a well-drtssed man came out, got in the car and drove off. "Who was that?" the Tiaitora asked a near-by policeman. Mr. A. B. 'Oughton, the Hame*- iean Hambassador, sir," replied the bobby.
