As we look back over the preced ing lessons, we are Impressed with the gracious manner in which the providence of God overruled the perfidies of man. Through the faithfulness of his servant Joseph, God was able to convert misfortune Into one of the most glorious achievements e^r witnessed to the life of a be liever. Joseph ibeoame, therefore, a sort of symbol of uprightness, an example of the forgiving spir it, a type of humility seldom en countered. Visions of the Xlgfat. The word of Joseph’s welfare was the greatest news that had come to Joseph through all the years of his life. It was so won derful In fact that at the begin, nlng he had difficulty in believ ing the announcement. But when the full picture was presented, he understood and believed.

BMdently the fath er needed little persuasion to be gin the Journey to Egypt. True to his character, Israel, on beginning his Journey, came to Beersheba for the purpose of of fering sacrifices unto God. Fol lowing this, we are told, that Ja cob was sp^en unto by God “in the visions of the night,” saying, •T am God, the God of thy father: fear not to go down into Egypt; for I will there make of thee a great nation; I will go down with thee Into Egypt; and I will also surely bring thee up again; and Joeeph shall put his hand upon thine eyes.” (Gen. 46). It is said the darkest hour of night is the time that immediate ly precedes the dawn. Practically this was true In the life of Jacob. His soul had been downcast and he had been in the blackest depths of the valley when there burst In upon him the glad news of Joseph’s welfare and of the provision that had been made for the economic security of the en tire family. Those of us who today walk in the valleys of the shadow of frus tration and sorrow need to spend more time In fellowship with our God. We need to manifest a greater faith In God’s ability to dispel the shadows and to turn our night of sorrow into the joy- AT...

Even as Joseph had previously Instructed his brethren before they appeared before Pharoah, they were asked this pointed question: “What is your occupa- tlc(n?” An* they answered, “Thy servants are shepherds, both we, and also our fathers.” Here Is a scene that is hard for one to contemplate without thinking on the Importance of worthy occupations. So many people In life surely drift along on the sea of human experience without giving themselves over to any specific task. Today they will be doing one thing, tomorrow another. As a result they hardly have the opportunity to excell in anything. As fathers and moth ers and as preachers and teach ers I wish we would do more to emphasize the dignity of labor, the virtue that lies In honest toil. Here was a father who, with his entire family, could say, “we are shepherds.’’ Ther fathers had taught them a worthy occupation. They had laid the foundation for self respect. A certain Inner satisfaction is to be enjoyed by one who can say this is my trade: this is the work of my hands; this is my task. Joseph’s brethren were able to say Just that. Their life had been simple, t obe sure, and they had known none of the elegant and ornate trappings of the oriental courts, but they knew something better—they knew God. They had learned the art of earning their dally bread by honest toll. Perhaps one of the greatest In justices the modern parent does the child is in permitting the child to grow to manhood, or at least far Into youth, without learning how to work and to ap preciate the dignity of It. In many homes today the children have next to. no responsibility until they reach teen age. Be cause of our modern way of dwelling, especially in the apart ment houses of city life, there is naturally little for the children to do. Still, if the reeponsl'bllltles of the home were properly dis tributed they could yet share la the program of work. Because of the lack of this home training many young peo ple go out Into life, and espe cially girls, almost wholly unpre pared for the responsibilities of home building, and many boys do not think of their vocation until they are in college and, in some Instances, until after they have finished their college train ing. Whatever one’s task is to be in life, ho ought to find it rea sonably early and then, when the period of training is over, begin to do it with all his might. The Land of Goshen. The reception of Jacob and his sons on the part of Pharoah was cordial indeed. They were permit ted to settle in the land or Go shen which was on the border nearest to the land of Canaan. It was a fertile and spacious sec tion of the country and offered the Hebrews an exceptional op portunity for growth and devel opment. Unto Joseph Pharoah said, •The land of Egypt is before [wftiiWii MeetlnlElltiiSO *•>? ^ ■ V Reunion Of FamOiu Slit Dt> viucHi To Be On September 3(Hb.

ROSS WOOD- IB AND FAMILY. thee; in the .best of the land make thy father and brethren to dwell; in the land of Goshen let them dwell.” On the meeting of Jacob with Pharoah, P. B. Meyer has this to say: “Jacob must have had something about him that ren dered him superior to the great est monarch of his time. There were two kings in that royal chamber—the one royal with the distinction of birth and rank; the other a wayworn pilgrim, royal with the divine pattern of a noble character. As they stood to gether, it was shown to all the world that the spiritual is great er than the material; and that God can endow a human spirit with such moral splendor as to compel the world’s conquerors to confess themselves conquered before this power.’’ After blessing Pharoah (Gen. 47; 10), Jacob went out of his presence. God’s Providential Care. Following Jacob’s death, Jo seph’s brethren were greatly die turbed in the fear that he might seek to retaliate because of the great evil which they had done to him in the long ago. They said to one another, "Joseph will peradventure hate us, and will certainly requite us all the evil which we did unto him.’’ They “fell down before his face” offer ing themselves to become his servants if only he would give them assurance that he had for given their trespasses. The words of Joeeph to his brethren reflect the full tenor of his life: “Fear not: for am I In the place of God? But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it Is this day, to save much people alive. Now therefore fear ye not: I will nour ish you, and your little ones. And he comforted them and spoke kindly to them.” To Joseph all that had trans pired was hound up In the pur poses of God. He believed that It was God’s providence working out In behalf of them all. What ever inconvenience, discomfort, and sorrow he had suffered was as nothing compared with the blessings tbat had come through divine favor. If we today who are forced to dwell in the midst of disappoint ments, dleilusionments, and doubts for a season would only turn to God In simple, childlike faith, as did Joseph—we, too. would find an answer to it all that would bring us and others abiding Joy.
