42 subordinate a present good to a future reward. Then be no Esau, with the senses your master, but a young Jacob, with the soul on top. For Esau's path across the world is lost in briers and overgrown with weeds, and obliterated before he has passed early manhood. The world sees him no more, has no use for him, no need to see him. But Jacob still lives and influences human conduct. For he was the father of Joseph, and Joseph made Moses possible, and Moses still thunders from Sinai at successive generations of mankind, therefore Jacob is alive. His path across the world is not overgrown with briers and weeds and lost. Oh no; it is open and plain from Shechem to Egypt, from Egypt to Sinai, and from Sinai to the Promised Land beyond the river. God forbid that any of my young readers should make Esau's choice for the senses above and before the soul! It does not *pay* for this world, for vice has more martyrs than virtue. Many people suffer more to be lost than they would
