itching was often so intense as to
cause insomnia, and they very often
caused pain and burning. I tried sev-

sample.
“I found them so soothing that I at

cake of Cuticura Soap, and a fifty

using them for about a month, all of
the itching and the pimples had en-

We first have presented the tem- |

birthright, and lastly the stolen bless-

viz., one who inclined to the conven-
tionalities. He loved a settled quiet
home life, for he "dwelt in tents.
Again when we consider the episode
of the bftthright we have set before
us another Illustration of the greaA
contrast of these brothers. We do
not value birthrights as do the Orien-
tals, and further, we roust remember
this is the story of God’s develop-
ment of a chosen race. Esau, mas-
tered by his appetite, governed by
selfish instincts, gladly and flippantly
Bpurns—"despised”—his right. He
denied his responsibility to the fu-
ture of that race of whom Abraham
was the first, and virtually said that
nothing was of value that did not
serve this present lifetime. Jacob,
on the other hand, estimated this
birthright at its supreme value, as of
Hobart, and the big ponu is rea«}
be turned over to the city.
