INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON, OCT. 21»t, 1951 These commentaries are based on the International Sunday School Lesson Outlines, copyrighted by the International Council of Relig ious Education and used by permission.) MEMORY SELECTION: “We know that to them that love God all things work together for good, even to them that are called ac cording to his purpose.”—Romans 8:28. Lesson Text: Genesis 17:1-7: 50;18-24. The life of Joseph is given in fourteen chapters of Genesis (37 50). which is nearly one-third of the entire book. “It is a story of triple inspiration; in the per fection of literature — biography at its best; in stature and sta bility of manhood, personality at its purest; and in messianic fore cast and type—-Christlikeness at its clearest.” (Moore). The story of Joseph is most familiar to all Bible students. Joseph’s early dream of greatness angered his brothers, who planned to murder him but, the en treaty of one of them, they cast him into a pit and finally sold him into slavery. As a slave in Potlphar’s home in Egypt, as a prisoner in the palace of Pharoah and as an in terpreter of the king’s double dream, Joseph remained faithful and true. As a result, he was elevated to the premiership of Egypt, second only to Pharaoh h'mself. His foresight in pre paring his country for a famine that had been prophesied resulted not only in saving the people of Egypt, but also enabled him to be used to save his father, Jacob, and his family. When the famine became more devastating1, Jacob sent ten of his sons to Egypt to buy grain. Jo seph recognized them as his brothers and subjected them to tests, which showed their deep penitence. Then, he revealed himself to his brothers and gave them every evidence of his full and free forgiveness. At Joseph’s suggestion and at his own ex pense, Jacob, with all his house hold and property were invited to come from the famine-smitten hills of Canaan to the pasture lands and Ailed granaries of the Nile valley. It was hard to con vince Jacob that his long-lost son, Joseph, was still alive and tp picture to him the power and glory which Joseph had in the court of Pharaoh. - I The Egyptian conveyances and the costly gifts, which Joseph had sent to his father, could not be denied, however, and Jacob, old as he was, 130 at the time, courageously said: MI will go and see him before I die.’* So, in the royal wagons, Jacob, his family, slaves and all his possessions, set out for the land of Egypt. Jacob was rather troubled about this migration, however. Abraham had encountered danger there, Isaac had been forbidden to go and the old man wondered if it was for the best.. At Beersheda, his last camping place in Canaan, Jacob received a divine vision in l which -God allayed his fears, promised to go with him into Egypt, make his descendants a great nation and. eventually, bring them out to the Land of Promise again. So, reassured, Jacob and hiB caravan went toward Egypt, sending Judah ahead to notify Joseph of their coming. The settling of Jacob and his family in Goshen, the rich lands of Egypt assigned to them, was a providential act of great im portance to the human race. This wandering Semitic tribe was to be fpsed into a nation thiongh the agency of oppression but, be fore this occurred, they would | learn the culture and arts of the world’s most advanced and pow erful country. Jacob lived seven teen years in Egypt* On his deathbed, he made his sons prom ise to bury him. not in Egypt, but back in Canaan, in the cave of Machpe’ah, beside Abraham and Isaac and their wives. Joseph again showed his great ness of heart when, after their father’s death, his brothers feared he would visit his vengenance up on them for the evil they had done to him. .Pained at their dis trust of him, Joseph reassured them of his forgiveness, when he •aid: “Ye meant evil against me, hut God meant it for good.” Al TWO OUT OF EVERY FIVE PACKING PLANTS INSPECTED BY OPS FOUND VIOLATING BEEF REGULATIONS, DISALLE SAYS Washington, D. C. (ILNS). Widespread violations of beef regulations and the beginning of r. national black market In meat were found in a 3-day enforcement drive carried out by the Office of Price Stabilization. Two out of every five packing plants inspected were violating the regulations, OPS Director Michael V. DiSalle said. Alto gether 1,146 slaughtering plants were visited in drive that began last Wednesday. Charges of one or more violations, making a total of 934, were filed against 435 of the plants in 83 districts in all parts of the country. “It is deplorable that 38 per cent—or two out of every 5— packing plant, we have checked are violating price stabilization regulations,” DiSalle, declared. “When the great majority of American businessmen are co operating and trying their best to make the price control pro gram work, it is disheartening that so many processors of such a vital foot! as meat are either carelessly or intentionally put ting selfish interests against the nation’s good. And these firms are making it even more diffir cult for the other 62 per cent of packers to fulfill their duty to the country and still main tain n profitable operation. “The price of beef is a vital element in the housewife’s table budget, and it must be held with in reason. Surely if the members of the meat industry who have heen putting selfish interests against the nation’s economic health will stop to think of this, they will join with the great mass of American people and help us keep the American economy on an even keel.” OPS announced that tjve in junctive actions have been filed in United States District courts, bringing: the total number of such actions to 16 as of September 30. Customer Final Victim One of the injunctive cases, filed at Wichita, Kan., presents a sig nificant harbinger of at least a beginning of a black market in meats, Edward P. Morgan, OPS enforcement director, said. This case, according to Morgan, in volves the firm of Excel, Inc., of Wichita, charged with selling and distributing ungraded and un marked meats. Morgan accused the concern of sending several carloads and trail er loads of ungraded and un marked beef lo several Eastern cities. Asked to describe the violations revealed by the inspection drive, Morgan said they were about as devious as the human mind could devise. The net effect of them was that chiseling beginning at the slaughter houses was passed on through wholesalers and re tailers to the customers. AFL AUTO WORKERS WIN AT GE PLANT Danville, 111. (ILNS).—Repeat ing1 an earlier victory, the United Automobile Workera-AFL soundly trounced the IUE-CIO in a Na tional Labor Relations Board run off election at the General Elec tric plant here. Although the UAW-AFL won the oroginal elec tion, a run-off was necessitated inasmuch as a majority of all votes cast was not attained. The final vote in the runoff election was 38 for the UAW-AFL, 326 for the IUE-CIO. The runoff election showed an increase of 12 votes cast over the first election. In that balloting, the International Association of Machinists was a contender but was subsquently dropped when the run off became necessary. The victory at the Danville Gen eral Electric plant was another in a long string of recent triumphs secured by the Eighth Region of the UAW-AFL. Workers at the plant are represented at UAW AFL Local 997. though a petted, spoiled, appar ently arrogant boy. Joseph de veloped into an unselfish, kind, noble and brilliant man. He arms a wise ruler and a good man, al ways relying^ upon and placing himself in God’s care. Let’s Save lives . . . ... ................i..« Tips on Fall driving were of fered today by a key official of the North Carolina Motor Carriers Association, representing pro fessional highway drivers. J. T. Outlaw, the association’s Executive Secretary, warned all motorists. “Fall means increasing weather hazards and a need for extra precaution. To avoid skid ding on wet, frosty and snowy roads, our drivers find that driv ing slowly, braking slowly, and turning slowly is the best prac tice.” All road surfaces become slip pery when wet, Outlaw pointed cut, but some types are much more slippery than others. He urged drivers to develop the habit of getting the “feel” of the road on rainy days. This can be done by pressing quickly on either the accelerator or brake to see if wheels slip. It should be done only when no other vehicles are present. Mr. Outlaw also called motor* ists’ attention to the hazard of wet leaves on residential streets: “The fact is not well known, but leaves are covered with an oily film which becomes extreme ly slippery when wet, thus add ing to the hazards of wet pave ment.” Lastly, he observed the preval ence of fog in the Fall. He list ed four basic precautions for get ting through fog safely: 1. Reduce speed in keeping with visibility. * 2. Always turn lights on so others can see you. 3. Use low headlight beams AT A CONSTANT SPEED OF 45 m.p.h. 55 m.p.h. 65 m.p.h.

NEW LAW PROVIDES TEN MORE INTEREST-EARNINO TEARS FOR | TOUR SERIES E BONDS . . . AND TOU NEED NOT DO A THINOI A re you one of those smart and patriotic Americans who began an automatic saving program with Series E Government Bonds in 1941? Then you’re one of the lucky people who can profit by a new law now! A bill recently passed by Congress now makes it possible for your United States Defense Bonds to continue earning interest ten years longer than was originally planned. For example, a Series E Bond which cost you $18.75 hi 1941 will pay you $25 in 1951. But if you hold that bond tea extra years, until 1961. it will pay you $33.33. an average interest of 2.9S4 compounded annually. You get similar increases on Series E Bonds of every denomination. And there is nothing for you, as a bond holder, to do. You need not exchange the bonds you have. You need not sign any paper, fill out any form. You simply keep your bonds as you have been keeping them. You m.i/ still redeem any Series E Bond at any time after you’ve owned it for sixty days. (The tables on this I page show what you can get for it.) But unless you Jj really need the cash you’re much better off to hold ^ your bonds. For U. S. Defense Bonds are as safe as « America itself. VN ben you buy your bonds regularly and hold them, they are steadily budding a sum big enough to buy something really north while—a home, TEesin ess, a retirement fund, an education for your children. And bonds are safer than cash! If you lose or accidentally destroy cash it’s gone for good. But when you have your cash in Defense Bonds, the U, S. Treasury will replace lost or destroyed bonds at no coot to you. So if gome of your bonds are coining due, take advan tage of this new offer of your government—just sit back and let them go on making money. Meanwhile keep adding to your savings by buying more United States Defense Bonds regularly—through the Payroll Savings Plan where you work or the Bond-A-Month Plan where you bank. System is the secret of saving.
