Testimony to God's Providence HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON By NEWMAN CAMPBELL (The International Uniform Lesson on the above topic for Sept. 23 Is Genesis 45. the Memory Verse being Romans 12:21. "Be not overcome of evil, but over come evil with good.") OUR LAST lesson ended with Judahs plea to Joseph to let Benjamin go back home to his old father, and allow Judah U take his place as slave to Joseph be cause of the silver cup that had been found in Benjamin s sack. Hearing this unselfish pleading from the brother he had known as cruel and without mercy. Joseph could restrain himself no longer. He cried out that every man should go out but the Hebrews, and when they were left alone, he told them he was Joseph, their young brother, whom they had sold into slavery 20 years before. He wept aloud in telling them, and asked. "Doth my father yet live?" The brothers could not answer him because they were frightened. "And Joseph said unto his brethren. Come near me. I pray you." When they did so he said. "I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt. Now therefore be not grieved, nor angry with that ve sold me hither: for God did send me before you to preserve life. "With r.nd nil thines are possi ble," and while these men sinned grievously in their treatment ot tfiBir hmther. He had made this sin to work out well for Joseph and through him for all his family Go to My Father "Haste ve. and eo up to my fa ther and sav unto him. Thus saith thv son JoseDh. God hath made me r nil Re-vnt: come down unto me tarrv not. "And thou shalt dwell in me land of Goshen, and thou shalt be near me, thou, and thy children, and thy children's children, and thy flocks, and thy herds, and all that thou hast: "And there will 1 nourish thee, for yet there are five years of famine; lest thou, and thy house hold and all that thou hast, come to poverty." Tnspnh told his brothers to tell so of nis eiorv in Haywood WAC m Egypt and all that they had seen, and then ne reu on dc..; neck and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck. Moreover he Kisseu an -r,H uL-pnt imon mem. and after that his brethren talked with him." What a fine man Joseph was 1 olun n a splendtd cnaracier unu .v - very able ran.

In spite of his success in Egypt, he probably was lonely and yearned for his own people The story or joscjm an- . brothers spread quickly througn Pharaoh s household and tnrougn all the land of Egypt, and so high ly esteemed was Joseph that everyone rejoiced with him. Thar- aoh, indeed, directed jus.-.. take wagons, and beasts and go to Canaan to bring his father hi, "And I will give you me ood'of the land of Egypt, and ye shall eat the tat oi uiu Phomnh'i Instructions Followed Joseph followed Pharaoh's in structions, and to each of his brothers he also gave a change of raiment for the Journey, but to Benjamin he gave 300 pieces of silver, and five changes of rai ment. "So he sent his brethren away, and thev departed and he said unto them. See that ye fall not out by the way." He evidently though that after all these men might quarrel among themselves on the way home. They were not perfect in spite of their repentance. They reached home with Ben jamin and Simeon, and told their father. "Joseph is yet alive, and he is governor over all the land of wvnt And Jacob's heart fainted, for he believed them not " They had lied to him before con cerning Joseph, so he could not believe this great news because Joseph had been gone for 20 years. When he saw the wagons Joseph had sent to transport him and his goods to Egypt, however. Jacob believed. And Israel said. It is enough Jrseph my son is yet alive : wiU go and see him before I die.

Haywood county man ' was sent to the Mountaineer from the Pacific theater during the past week: "Aboard the Battleship C SS MISSISSIPPI sailing into Sagami Wan with Admrral nun nm- sey's mighty Third Meet. int U.SS. MISSISSIPPI or the "OLD MISSY" as called by her gaiiatn crew and the entire fleet, is now tn tnll of its nart in the icauj i" - - war, which has been held back so long because of war time restrictions. Although built 28 years ago. she u ,i,i..i from the beginning to iiaa uii""" - . the present, that she still "packs a wallop which tne aapanesi never forget. The present "MISSY" is the sec ond ship with that name to sail lit,. Tnkvn Rav Ninety-two years ago as Commodore M. C. Perry's flagship the tirst "MisY sauce, into Tokyo Bay to open Japan's doors to world commerce. Another MISSISSIPPI was com misisoned in 1907 to be the sec ond in line to bear that Slate's name. She played an important role in early aviation, but in 1913 was decommissioned and sold to Greece prior to the first World War. The present MISSISSIPPI was commisisoned in 1917 and now displaces 40,000 tons she was al ready an old lady, but virtually nnlri pH in battle, when word was received on December 7, 1941, that the Japs had attacked Pearl Har bor. Since then she has beaten the enemy from the icy waters of the North Atlantic to the sweltering Solomons; and from the foggy Aleutians to the China Sea. Her crew is proud to say they have probably fired more steel at the enemv than any other ship in history. A total of 12,000,000 pounds of explosives were fired at the Japs in Kiska. Kxvajaiein. Makin, Taroa, Wotje, Kavieng, Peleliu, Leyte, Luzon, Okinawa, and the Great Battle of Suriagoa Strait. (Practically every major amphibious operation in the Pa cific.) With every bombardment came a flow of messages to the "MISSY" from the Army and Marines who were fighting on the hpaebes. hichlv praising the de vastating and accurate fire of the "MISSY'S" guns. It has been the ships record to "put the shells xvhere they are needed most." Although damaged in several operations and in need of battle repairs the "MISSY" stubbornly refused to leave the firing line. Repaired temporarily in all in stances by her ships' repair unit, she remained sometimes for months before she reluctantly ien u.e for her much needed repairs. Great men as Admiral R. A. Spruance.

Maybe you run a store or service station or dress shop. Would you like to have a next-door competitor who has little or no rent, or taxes, or interest to pay, and who is kept in business partly by your tax money? Yet this is what happens with govern ment and municipal electric power sys tems. They are not required to pay federal taxes; often get money from the public treasury at little or no inter est; make up losses out of your pocket as a taxpayer. Meanwhile, on the average, Amer ica's LMrsm ess-managed electric com panies turn back to the people as taxes about 25c out of every dollar nu'flCU And these companies v operated by millions of -mVetaU other obligations,. thout fit of special privileges. . .1 ,v.ijviN.C. sflr loday, mesc 1 - porting companies supp'.
