Before he takes this Journey he wishes
to bind as closely as possible the gentle
Christian churches he has established In
eastern Europe with the Jewish Christian
community at Jerusalem. There Is
danger of alienation of feeling, if not Of
complete division, because the Jews were
very particular to keep all parts of the
Mosaic law, even though they were
Christians, while the gentiles entirely dis
regarded it except in a few particulars
concerning idol worship. So Paul, to cul-
tivate the feeling of good fellowship,
proposes that contribution of money
shall be collected in his churches for the
benefit of the needy ones in Jerusalem.
In carrying out this purpose he writes

THE PRESERVING SEASON.

OF Ceylon's spicy breezes
We many times have sung,
And we have heard about them
Since days when we were young
But now to sniff such fragrance
We do not need to roam,
For spicy are the breeZes
That float around the home.
It's now the time when women
Forget about their nerves
And spend their days and evenings
In putting up preserves.
They're peering into kettles,
3 They're closely watching pans.
And at the proper moment
They're filling Jars and cans.
They're making jams and jellies
And sweetest marmalade,
And fruit fresh from the orchards
Is into butter made.
They re pairing, seeding, slicing,
A work in. which they're skilled,
And when the kettles emptied
Again it's promptly filled.
And sweet is the aroma
That permeates the air,
The fragrance of the spices
Dropped in with greatest care,
And as afar it's Wa1fted
To Ceylon we then show
That there are other places
Where spicy breeZes blow.
The women burn their fingers,
And pretty faces, too,
But patiently they're working
Until the task is through.
And tho the bubbles grumble
When women thus prepare,
just watch them in the winter,
And see them grab their share.

! THE BROTHERS SELL JOSEPH.
2 The international Sunday school lesson
for Oct 6, is found in Genesis xxxv1i.,
1886 The memory verses are 1928 of
the same chapter. The golden text is
Acts vii, 9. The lesson details the sale
of Joseph by his brethren to the Ishmael-
ties who took him to Egypt. Go, [ pray
thee, and see the peace of thy brethren"
Israel unWisely made it very evident that
ne loved Joseph more than his other
sons, and this, with Josephs two
prophetic dreams, stirred them so that
they enYied him and hated him and could
not speak peaceably to him. All I'M
suspecting, his father sends him from
home to see if it is we'll with his
brethren and with the flocks. 1t is we'll

fore us, but it is also well that we can
be sure that however things may seem
God Is working out His eternal purposes
of love and mercy in the very best way.
When his brothers saw him afar off,
even before he came near unto them,
they conspired against him to STAY him.
In Joseph, as in Isaac, we have Won
drous type of the Lord Jesus. When He
came unto His own, seeking their peace,
not only did they not receive Him, but
they persistently took counsel to kill
Him. At first they said, Let us kill
him, but Reuben, the Oldest brother, OBJ
jected and so they cast him into a pit.
Soon after @ company of Ishmaelites
passing by Judah manifests his interest
in his brother by suggesting that they
sell him to them. His brethren were con-
tent to have 1t so, and therefore Joseph
was sold for twenty pieces of silver and
taken to Egypt How many things in
this sad story are suggestive of the suf-
ferings of Christi They stripped Him of
His raiment; when they had crucitied
Him. they sat down and watched Him;
He was sold for some pieces of silver
The sale was made while Reuben was
absent. Then they bethought themselves
what excuse to make their father. and
they took Joseph's coat and dipped 1t in
the blood of a kid, and they brought the
blood stained coat to their father and
said. This have we found; know now
whether it be thy sons coat or no."

believed and his wicked sons let him be-

for many years counted him dead. 1t is
trying. enough to see a loved one die,
but there is a sad consolation in being
privileged to care for and lay away the
dear ones body. To have loved ones go
out from your presence in health and
never see them again in mortal body, but
only hear that they in some way suf-
reded violent death, is inexpressibly
