We will now speak of Esau and
Jacob: they being twins; Esau
was the older son, and was, by
the customs of that day, entitled
to the headship of their father’s
family at his death; but the older
must serve the younger in this
ca'se, though Isaac did not fully
understand the arrangement for
deceiving him concerning the
blessings when due to be-grauted;
yet afterwards, was fully aware of
his apparent mistake, but did not
offer to correct it, believing that
the blessings were as the Lord
would have it. Jacob proposes to
Esau, that for a feast of pottage,
or, of what Jacob had cooked in- a
pot, Esau should grout that Jacob
have the birth-right, or headship
of the family, and it was,done.
Esau' ever remained in Canaan
with the descendants of his half
uncle Ishimael, son of Hagar, ah
Egyptian. Ishmael had at this
time begotten the 18 tribes of
Ites, Lites, Vites etc.;and jshmael
died in 2171 A. M. Esau became
very rich, and honored by the in
dwelling kings of Canaan, but his
death is not known.
Jacob, feariugjharm from Esau
because of the birthright, goes to
his uncle Laban’s this year, 2181.
In 2188 Jacob married Leah, La
ban’s elder daughter; in 2195 he
married Rachael; Laban gave to
his daughter Leah a handmaid,
Zilpha, who is the mother of Ja
cob’s 7th and 8th sons, Gad aiid
Asher. Leah bears for Jacob 6
sons' and one daughter, whose
nances are Beuben. Simeon, Levi,
Juda, Issachar Zebulum and Di
nah. .
Rachael’s handmaid, Bilhau,
bear for Jacob two sons, Dan and
Naphthali; Rachael bears for Ja
cob two sons, Joseph and Benja
min who are Jacob’s 11th and 12th
♦sons. In 2201 Jacob leaves Laban

So in 2238 Joseph sent his father’s
family to a fertile land called Go

roah the king.
Joseph was the 2nd highest in
the Egyptian court for 80 years,to
/ his death in 2310. Now Joseph
had gone to Egypt in 2217; Jacob
and family, of them 75, went to
Egypt in 2238, and dwelt in Go-
jhen until the death of the king,
when another king sat upon the
throne. Joseph and the previous
king now being dead, the present
king now disregards the privileges
enjoyed by the Hebrews and be
gins to oppress them until their
departure from Egypt in 2513;
this departure is called the Exo
dus. We will here speak of the
oppression of Hebrews in Egypt:
They, as a family of Jacob, dwelt
peacefully in Goshen under Jo
seph’s administration of 'state af
fairs for 72 years, Joseph having
been in office 8 years before Jacob
came, wich gives the Hebrews 80
years rest in Egypt. And they

“This anecdote, which is 2,000
years old,” said Dr. Keen, “is re

myriad of medical anecdotes that
now exist”.

belief of your correspondent that
the convention will be approved.
Senator Bailey has announced
his intention of talking the treaty
to death because he believes that
it is unconstitutional in that it
initiates tariff changes in the
Senate and because he believes it
will work a hardship to the sugar
and tobacco producers of the
south.
It is quite obvious that most
members on the republican side
of the Senate are delighted with
the set-back which the Attorney
General has administered to the
cause of anti-trust legislation.
They have from the first desired
medical to avoid all anti-trust legislation.
Forced by the determined stand
of the President and his announc
ed purpose to call the next Con*
grass in special session if nothing
was accomplished at this session,
the republican leaders consented
to give the matter consideration,
stipulating however that any
measure which would pass tbe
Senate must be extremely con
servative, in other words, must
prove innocuous to their favorite
corporate interists. Now that a
member of the Presieens’s Cabi
net has taken ocnasian to hold up
the measure and postpone its con
sideration until a later date, the
sentiment is growing that it will
be possible to pass the matter
over and then say to, Mr, Boose

failure to legislate o.n the subject
as earlier in the session the Senr
ate was ready to give the matter
due consideration.
