TT THE SUNDAY SCHOOL, : Lesson IV.-Second Quarter, For' April 23, 1907. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Taxt of th Lesson, Cen. xxxix, 20, ! to xl, 15Memory Verses, 21, 22. Golden Text, Rev, ii, 10 Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stsarns. fCopyriu'M, I'M', by American Press Association. It will ln'Ip lis to ever keep in mind that from Cen. iii to liev. xx the con flict Is on between Coil mul tlie devil for man and his Inheritance, the earth. "The righteous Lord loveth righteous ness" (I's. xi, 7 but this the devil hates. His work is sin and uncleau ness and Inst and murder, and he la always after the people of Coil to take them in his et. Too often he captures them, nn.l the name of the Lord is dishonored, but when the righteous ore overeonier. !o.l is jrlorilied. In rlinnieis xxxvlii mid xxxix we have on example of each, and In the former ! it Is the tribe from which our Lord j first criminal act. Once on the came that wo see Involved ill the sin, downward road progress to niin wa? for "our Lord .--pran.s out of JudaU" 1 rapid. His "featest sir, was in : i v Heb. vii, ID. and yet both .ludah and ; .. r . .. tl,fllt. ir t temptation, "'lie Tainal are mentioned In the ancestry in Matt. I. !. AVLien we have clearer light it will be one of th' surprises to pee how fully the Holy One of Cod ideutili'-d lliinolf with sinners that He miulit save them by the saerillce of Himself. K.'uben. th" firsiliorn of Israel, forfeit 'd t.;e bi-ihriulit. and, though .ludah prevailed above his brethren ::i:.i of hi:n came the chief ruler (or princei. the Hrthrii-iit was Joseph's (I Chron. v. 1. L'i. AVe turn to the attractive story cf Joseph and see him first a a slave iD Eirypt in the bouse of l'otipliar, an otlieer of rii-'iraoh. and we read. "The Lord was with him, and he was a prosperous man" (xxxix. 2, "i. What U -.lLTerent pro-spenty U in tin; Fiuht e'' C vl a:i i of man: Oh. t':at we li:!'.'::t'Tee I'linrr- as Col sees them pud sNrify !!!;n! Xctiw h w 1'oiij 'iar so truste.i hiiu that he v.nro'crved'y put "all l!;;lt he had" Into Joseph's hands, ai:d this f e t is stated live times In ve:v s 4 to S, with tho com ment t!:.it fi'-iia the tini" l'otipliar did this the bles--:nj; of the Lord was up on his house and all that he had. There is nothing that can compare wrltb the Messina of the Lord, which niaUi'th rii-ii and t which our toil Uddeth untiling il'rov. x, 22, IS. V inariiO. and perhaps there is nothing which the devil hates more, for see now his tinker at Joseph, through whom all this blessing came. If he cannot lead him into sin and thus break his fellowship with Cod. he will persecute him for righteousness' sake, and this he does and lands him in prison branded as a vile man. From being I'otiphar's chief steward to a prison -- what a Koemins downfall! But read verses -1 --"The Lord was with ,Io-oph, and that which he CM th- T.orl made it to prosper." rrorperoiis as a rlave r.nd also as a man Tvronr'fr.Ky prisoned! In verse 22 we r?a.l that wha'.evci was Core I: th.1 prison lie was th3 floer or it. .".nl. bv.'.r.z faithful to Cod there, fa: o ;.'.:.!; was afterward true cf hi:.: I i ail Lsvpt Ilap;,v r.re v. e if cur livej are sa yield cJ t.) Him th- t whatever is done in ot thro'.';:h ns lie Is the doer of It Let n.i yield fully to Ilim, as those who nre alive fr the doid (Itoni. vl, 1"), nn 1 lie will not fail to work in ns liolh to will and to do all His ijooij pleasure (Phil, ii, 13: II Thess. 1. 31, 12; Iieb. xiii 21 1. When we yield and trust Him to work, wo must believe that He is worhin.', no matter how th!as seem and even though every thing seems to be iig.-iiii-'t in. Years lire pass-in with Joseph, and it is not unlikely that tin.' taunt of his brethren often came to bini from the great ad versary. Nov, mark the steps in the work ins out of Cod's plui anl His usim; and overruling th" most ordinary events and His m..l;i::t: the sin and wrath and even uohim'.ie'-s of man to work out Ills purp-wes. The offenses cf the chief batiei; icd the chief baiter of the kin;.; of 11;. . pt cause them to be nent to prison, and they are given in I'harjre of Joseph as their keeper. Ou the sfiiino niirht each of them dreams a dream which main's him sad, and Joseph, noticing their sadness1, in quires the cni.se, and on being told that Jt was because iii one could in terpret the dream lie said: "Do not interpretations belong to Cod? Tell me your dreams" (verse Si. This they did. The chief lmtler telling his first and receiving from Joseph a favorable Interpretation, the chief baker is en couraged to tell his also. When Jo- eeph saw the evil In store for the i baker, he did not in any way deceive I him, but told him faithfully the inter- I prelation. Any one who walks with the God of Truth cannot but speak the truth onder nil circumstances without j respect of persons. I The closing verses of our lesson con-1 tain a p'tiful plea from Joseph to the ! chief butler showing how keenly he j felt the B.tuation, though bravely mak- j lng the best of it and seeking to glorl- j fy God In It. It seems almost lucred-1 lble that for two full years this man j gave Joseph no thought (xl, 23; xli, 1), ; yet such is man. Compare Eeeles. Ix, ; 14, 1.", inl say honestly before God if you ;v 'n no way forgetful of Ilim or of the suffering ones for whom Jesiit 10 and to whom Ho expects us to tell the rood tidings. To be forg-.it-ten by thoso to whom we have been kind Is in..eed grievous, but v jut filial be sai of those 'iHio knov the kindness of Cod and refuse it known to others? li-8 A Fearful Warning.

Jones, of Charlotte bauk is a warn- inj: to all men who handle other peo- Tlfxl ilouiit Mr. Jones would have been honitietl wlicti he took the first nio;iey from the dank had he been told that, he was a thief. He wa not one at h-art. He intended to ivplace the money ''before any one fount1 out he hail bveu using the bank's funds.'' There would soon be a rise in stocks be had bought ami he could replace the money without any one knowing it, were his thoughts; bun instead of being able to U ) thai, he got deeper and deeper in th- mire. More of the hank's money had to be purloined in order to try to tft-t back what had been lost. That went the nay of the other and again nio,-e had to Lie put up or all would "be lost, until at last the ;tieviti;ble exposure (light and disgrace came. Mr. Jones' re curd shows that he was not naturally dishonest.

SCHNAPPS has been advertised in this paper so that every chewer has had an opportunity to get acquainted with the facts and know that drugs are not used to produce the cheering quality found in the famous Piedmont country flue-cured tobaccos, and that SCHNAPPS is what he ought to chew. Still there are chewers who accept othpr and cheaper tobaccos that do not give the same pleasure. Uaing the Eyes.
