Lesson for August 26 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by permission. JACOB ADJUSTS PERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS LESSON TEXT—Genesis 33:1-11, 17-20. GOLDEN TEXT—Let us therefore follow after thn things which make for peace.—Romans 14:19. Eventually a man's past catches up with him and he must face his own record. The Bible says, 'Be sure your sin will find you out” (Num. 32:23), and it always does. Jacob, who had tricked and deceived his brother and had fled into a far country, ultimately had to return to his homeland and face Esau. The story of what happened makes up our dramatic and instructive lesson. Before Jacob could be permitted to enter the Promised Land of his father, he had to meet God. He needed a thoroughgoing transformation of life and attitude, and he received it as he wrestled with God at Peniel (Gen. 32). Ultimately the stubborn man had to yield, and then he found that it was God who had come to give him a great blessing. How often do we fight against the goodness and mercy of God. Yielding brings blessing; Jacob “the supplanter” became Israel “prince with God.” He was row ready for

I. Reconciliation (vv. 1-7). After living for 20 years in horror of meeting Esau, Jacob now learned that his brother was coming against him with an army. He resorted to clever strategy, but this time it was done not in sly crookedness, but in an open friendly effort to win his brother’s good will. There is nothing wrong about the use of a tactful approach, and it really worked for Jacob. His courtesy was shown by his seven bows. His bravery appeared in going out first. His conciliatory attitude showed in his rich gift to his brother. Then came a surprise. Esau proved to be a loving brother rather than a hated enemy. Blood does count, and men do well to respond to the promptings of their hearts to be affectionate toward their brethren. Note Jacob’s pride in presenting his family. God had blessed him and he rejoiced in his fine children. The scene is typically Oriental, but it shows an attitude toward one’s family which we could well emulate. Next, a very practical note entered into the reconciliation of the brethren, namely: 11. Restitution (vv. 8-11). The gift which Jacob had prepared for Esau was in the Oriental tradition, and yet it bore also the nature of a restoration of something of that which Jacob had taken from Esau in defrauding him of his birthright. There is a place for proper restitution in every case where we have wronged another by taking his possessions or destroying his opportunities to prosper. Becoming a Christian is a forgetting of those things which are behind (Phil. 3:13) in a spiritual sense, but not in the ignoring of our obligations to others. What we can make right we must make right if we want God’s blessing. Esau was generous and did not want the gift, but since it would have been an affront to his brother to refuse, he accepted it. Tnere are proprieties in life and little courtesies to be observed. Failure at this point has created much friction even between believers. Being a Christian should make one gentlemanly and ladylike. Let’s remember that! Then, too, Jacob was wise in putting Esau under the friendly obligation which is inherent in the acceptance of a gift. Those who are stingy and close-fisted about giving to others often find that their lack of generosity has reflected in their lack of friends. The time has come for the brothers to part, and we find Jacob falling into his old trickery as he prepares to HI. Return (vv. 17-20). The portion between verses 11 and 17 indicate that instead of going on in straightforward dealings with Esau, Jacob resorts to evasion in order to be free to go where he would in his return to his fatherland. Instead of going back to Bethel the place of blessing (Gen. 28), to which Jacob had been called (Gen. 31:11-13), he went to Succoth and ultimately to the outskirts of Shechem where his family fell into great sin. Ultimately, God did get him back to Bethel (Gen. 35), but only after much sorrow and suffering. Jacob was called to live the life of a shepherd out in the fields with God, and when he pitched his tent near Shechem he compromised and lost out. The incident pictures the tragic result of such folly in our day. those who will not move over into the worldly life want, to be close enough to it so that their children may have the cultural and educational advantages, and soon they find that they have lost their children to the world and have lost the savor of their own spiritual experience

TYPHOON MAY (Continued Pnom Page One) day. The withdrawal of Japanese army and navy forces from the sections of Tokyo. Chiba. Kanagawa, Shizuoka and Yamanshi prefectures marked for occupation will be concluded tomorrow, Domei said. The movement of all Japanese naval vessels in Japanese territorial waters was forbidden as of 6 p. m. today (4 a. m. CWT) and movement of any vessels whatsoever in Tokyo bay from 6 p. ni. tomorrow. Domei reported Japan notified MacArthur that the hospital ship which he said might proceed to Minamitori island with food and hospital supplies would leave Yokohama at 4 p. m. Saturday and return with sick and wounded next Thursday. The Japanese protest against the sinking of three and perhaps four Japanese ships off northern Japan Wednesday also was contained in an official note to MacArthur and urgently appealed to him to halt such attacks. A formal message from Japanese general headquarters said one of the four ships, the 4.467-ton Taito Maru, went down off the coast of northwest Hokkaido with 553 casualties. Another in the new series of Japanese messages to MacArthur complained that Japanese civilians and armed troops were becoming victims of violence, rape and “other outrages” in, Manchutiia, inner Mongolia and northern Korea —-al] within the Soviet sphere of operations. The message asked permission for Japanese forces in the three areas to retain “necessary arms” until Japanese residents have been removed to safety. d RETURN TO (Continued From Page Ore) speaker Sam Rayburn. With the surrender of Japan and resultant cutbacks in war production, he said, "fuel savings from continu auce of 'war time' are no longer sufficiently related to the functions of the war production-board as to justify recommending at *ar time for that reason.” J- i.. f._ _ J

Daring Demolition By Navy Revealed Tactics Preceding Invasion Disclosed

A Naval Demolition Base, Maui, Hawaii. Aug. 24—(UP)—The navy disclosed today the story of its hitherto ultra-secret "wave before the first wave " —the daring underwater demolition men who swam ashore on enemy-occupied islands from the Marshalls to Borneo to blast a path through beach obstacles and defenses for the main invasion forces. The husky UDT crews hit the beaches sometimes days before the invasion flotilla arrived. They wore swimming trunks and swam ashore with loads of explosives on their backs. Their faces were guarded by water masks, and they wore rubber fins on their feet to help them plough through the surf. At night they wore aluminum painted hoods which blended with the shimmer of moonlight on the water. They were ashore six days before D-Day at Guam, dynamiting beach obstacles. When the first assault troops piled out of their landing boats, they found a neat-ly-lettered sign: "Welcome marines—by UDT's.” When invasion forces stormed ashore on Okinawa last April, they found another sign: "Welcome to Tokyo: buy war bonds." The work of the underwater demolition teams has been so secret that this is the first time any mention of them has been permitted. They began operating in the Marshalls campaign. If they had been ready for the Gilberts, American casualties might have been lighter at Tarawa. Although their work is extremely dangerous, they have suffered only slight casualties. Only three were taken prisoner — on Yap, which was not invaded l>ecause of a last-minute switch in plans. The demolition men at this base say they were perfectly safe in the water. They had a nice trick of catching Japanese bullets which plopped into the water and then sank slowly to the level at which they were swimming. The UDT’s travelled on special destroyers. In addition to blow ing up beach obstacles, they scouted the landing spots and frequently stuck around as guides, leading amphibious vehicles over reefs. 0 Thanksgiving Day first was celebrated in Chicago in 1837. After Germany’s surrender, Krug felt that war time was still' “highly desirable” as a fuel conservation measure for the remain der of the 1945-46 fuel year. Congressional action to return the nation to standard time appeared to be a foregone conclusion. Many members of both houses long have opposed war time. And there have been objections to it in many parts of the country, especially rural areas. Farmers have objected that livestock and crops operate on sun time, regardless of what men do. The WPB, however, said war time had served the country well. Since war time went into effect in January. 1942, the WPB said, it has decreased the power load on electric utilities by 1,500,000 kilowatt hours, enough to supply the greater part of the wartime aluminum program. Had the nation undertaken to build additional capacity for this electrical load. WPB said. it would have had to use as much steel as w-as needed to build 140 destroyers and as much copper as would be required for 2,500.000,000 rouads of rifle and machine gun ammunition.

There have bepn parts of German terriI tory which have always been used for many years as gateways for German aggression against France. France now controls some of these territories and must continue to control them and others —-specifically the territory on the left bank of the Rhine. CHURCHILL AND (Continued From Page One) ing essential food and other non munition supplies which Britain received hitherto under lend-lease but must now pay for. Attlee said that British exports for this year were continuing and amounted to 350,000,000 pounds sterling (approximately $1,400.1)00,000) to offset British expenditures. He said that certain other sources of income, mostly temporary, contribute an additional 450,000,000 pounds ($1,800,000,000.) "This initial deficit with which to start the task of reestablishing our own economy is immense,” he said.

JOBS FOR ALL BILL (Continued From Page -One) what he called the small segment of business which "feels that we ought always to have a pool of unemployed to serve both as a disciplinary force for labor and to keep wages down.” Schacter said profits are no longer "the be-all and end-all of business operation." Business, he said, "has come to have a sense of social responsibility.” Rumi objected to language in the bill declaring that citizens have the “right” to work. He said it “weakens the dignity" that “involuntary unemployment on the part of any citizen is a matter of national concern which menaces the institutions and foundations of a free democratic state." Earlier, attorney general Tom C. Clark endorsed the bill’s objectives but asserted that “the real bulwark of our society is, and must continue to be, a free and vital competitive economy.” He promised vigorous enforcement of the anti-trust laws, the purpose of which, he said, “is to protect the American free enterprise system."
