Lesson
for
October IS.

CONTEXT The sale Of Joseph to the Miiian.
ties, AS studied in our last lesson, removed him
for a time from his brethren. The two fol.
lowing chapters, the 3sth and 30ti, present in
striking contrast the vices OF those brethren
purpose of exhibiting the superior quality of the
latter. We read first Of the shameful conduct Of
Judah, the fourth son of Jacob, the wicscd.
ness Of lr and the oifcnsc of Oman, .judah's two
sons. the crime against lamar and It's issue. a
record Of revolving shame and degradation. a
stain upon the fame OF Israel. Then, in bcuu,i.
tnl outline we behold Joseph III the house Of
Potiplar. maintaining his purity, against the
most irsinuating Influences, m%aligncd, and then
imprisoned. One who reads these accounts does
not wonder that Jacob loved Joseph more than
lie loved The other sons. and there Is plainly an.
parent also the ground Tor the Divine favor. We
shall now see how an innocent man may be sus.
tanned in suffering.

from ms kindred, was not overcome when cast
into prison where offenders against the majes.y
OF the king were bound. Dislonorcd by men
he was blessed by his God. That omniprcscnt
