11 ' 1 i - - I - . .-- .' -. , . .: - THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. INTEKNAXIOXAIi LESSON COM MENTS FOli MAY 5 BY THE REV. J. V. HENlKSON. Subject; Josepn. (he Wise Ruler jn JL'gypt, , Gen.1 41 : 38-19 Golden ' Txtt James 1:5 Memory Veraes. 08-40. .: ' Tvo yers h&ve passed, as we are told in Gen. 41:1, b.-nvesn the events .which are chronicled la the Scripture that we studied last weak and those that are recorded in our lesson for Ao-day. With Joseph thy ba've been years of confinement in an Egyptian prison. To be surv he was a man of importance above the men1 who were , jailed with him. he wa a favorite 'and trusted lieutenant of the warder Of the dungeons; but he was never theless a prisoner. A good life in a 1 prison is still a prison life. Joseph was a prisoner under the dominion of Pharabh. He was also a prisoner for God. He could unite to-day with Paul in the declaration. "1 am in chains for God." Joseph's only crime had been his desire to serve God and be faithful to the social obligations of his surroundings and his man hood. He went to prison because he would rather be obedient to the vision and the call of God than to barter his character and the favor of the Almighty for a mess of pottage. That which appeared to man, per haps, to be disadvantageous to the future success and prosperity of Jos eph, however, in the providence oi God was working and did work out most splendidly and marvellously for his enduring fame. His wisdom as a diviner to the baker and the .butler of Pharaoh in the prison leads him di rectly into the court of the emperor. His explanation of the meaning and application of the queer dreams the Pharaoh had had about the cows and the ears made him a marked man in the estimation of the king. It was the means, for him, of entrance into vice-regal power. One thing noticeable about Joseph, first, is this, that he gave substantial evidence of his nearness to God. Of course in those days among the nobles of the Egyptian court a man would perhaps be noted as a com panion of God for different reasons, eo far as outward expression is con cerned, than would impress us of this day and generation. The court ' and the emperor were impressed with the godliness of Joseph because he was an informing oracle of God. 44 Can we," says Pharaoh, "find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of God is?" Pharaoh saw in Joseph the lineaments and the mov ings of the Spirit of God because Joseph declared the implications of his dreams with courage, with sense, with conviction. He was Impressed with the soothsaying powers of Jos eph. His gift for accurate divination caught his fancy and fixed his atten tion. That which Pharaoh saw in Joseph and honored with vice-regal favor the captain of the guard had dis cerned from quite another point of view. That which attracted the at tention of Potiphar and gave him confidence in Joseph also influenced the minds of the keepers of the prison and led them lighten the burdens of Joseph and to install him in a place of responsibility and authority among the men vrith whom he was incarcer ated. And that which they all saw we, too, see to-day as we gaze down the perspective of the centuries. Joseph was faithful to Potiphar be-' cause he was the child of God. He was trustworthy in prison because he was in right relations constantly with God. He was able to interpret dreams and to unfold them with prophetic power and more than com mon accuracy because he kept his senses alert and his whole manhood alive to the ministrations of the liv ing God. Pharaoh was y right. Jos eph was a man in whom the Spirit of God abode with power. If God had not been with him he would have been overwhelmed with the insistency of the importunate invitations of Pot iphar's wife. If God had not given him grace he might have used his lib erty in the prison to have escaped to a more hospitable soil. If Jehovah had not vouchsafed to him a more than common ability to understand the mind of God he never would have been able to have predicted the fam ine that with such exactness came to. pass. The power that came to Joseph in a material way was a tribute not to him, but to the God through whom he was strengthened and- his vision was clarified. Pharaoh was no fool. He saw with precision the God behind the man. And so he says, with a philosophy .that is beyond question and an insight that is altogether com mendable, "None so discreet and. wise as thou." For. God had given Joseph the vision. . . Another thing that is noticeable is that Joseph was not unduly puffed up by the unexpected and unprece dented influence that was so suddenly thrust into his grasp. It might easily" have turned his head. But the im petuous dreamv youth of yesterday is now a man. He has seen much of the world and he is cautious. Called to a special work he keeps to that work. -He offends none by -any exhibition of pride of position, He uses his immense authority for the future welfare of the people. , In the days of prosperity he prepares for the coming days of adversity. He shep herds, as God would have him to do, the people under his rule? . - -The lesson ought to teach us that nothing is impossible to the man who lives near to God. It should make, us humble, regardless of the heights t to "which we may gradually or suddenly attain. . - - v I . - - 1 t:-- , ...... !

Those pains you feel when you first arisV m the morningaching paina in the joints, shooting pains in the muscles are signs of warning. They are danger signals, evi dences of a detep-seated trouble that-if not' removed may affect, the entire system and cause chronic disease, or if the cause is not removed, they may develop suddenly into the d eadly Rheumatism of the Heart , which kills like lightning. "- Better .get rid of the cause nt once. Rheumatism and its kindred diseases are caused by the accumulation of poisonous acids m the blood; Rubbing with oils or liniments will not cure it; it is an internal disease, and can be conquered only by-"an internal remedy. There is Just one com plete cure Rheumacide. Rheunaacide neu- ? tranzes the poisonous acids, sweeps all the dangerous germs ; out of . the blood and; makes you well all over." .. Rheumacide cures because it is the only rdraedy that "gets at the joints from the inside " ;Mr W. R. Hughes, of Atkins, Va., writes: . 'Tour bottles of Rheumacide have en tirely cured me of a long standing case of Rheumatism, and greatly improved my general health. I was a total wreck, hav ing had rheumatism for twenty years. I spent several weeks and much - money try ing specialists in New York, but Rheuma - cide is the only cure I have found. When I began to use it I weighed 140 pounds. Now I weigh, 180 pounds, my normal weight." No one ever repented of having held his tongue. Italian. Pure! Pleasant! Potent! Three inter esting facts about Garfield Tea, the Natural laxative.

Catarrh in this section Of the country than all other diseases put to gether, ana until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science has proven Catarrh to be a constitutional disease, and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.

' lilt . Jiiiii idbJwV -: MRS HENRY LEE Owing to modern methods of living not one woman in a thousands ap proaches this perfectly natural change without experiencing a train of very annoying and sometimes painful symptoms. This isjthe most critical period of her whole existence and every woman who neglecta the care of her 'health at this time invites disease and pain. When her system is in a deranged condition- or. she is predisposed to apoplexy or congestion of any organ, the tendency is at this period likely to become active and with a host of nervous irritations make life a burden. At this time also cancers and tumors are more liable to form and begin their destructive work. Such warning symptoms as sense of suffocation, hot flashes, headaches, bao&aches, melancholia, dread of im pending evil, palpitatioifof the heart irregularities, constipation and dizzi ness are promptly heeded by intel ligent women who are approaching the period of life when this great change may be expected.
