ISRAEL IN EGYPT.

ISRAEL IN EGYPT.
The International Sunday school lesson
| for Dec. 20 is a review of the twelve pre-
| ceding lessons. The golden text is from
Romans viii, 81 IF God be for us, who
| can be against US The quarters les
sons We're devoted to Israel in Egypt,
and the central thought is Gods Over
ruling Providence" The whole subject
is one of extreme interest. The outline
of the previous lessons is as follows:
1.-The sale of Joseph as detailed IN
Genesis xxxvii., 1876 Golden text, Acts
vii, g, "The patriarchs, moved with. envy
sold Joseph into Egypt, but God was with
him." The hatred and cruelty of Joseph's
brethren to the brother whom the father
so loved will suggest the treatment which
Christ received from His brethren, the
Jews.
2.-Joseph in prison, as related in Cen
| esis xxxix., 20, xl, Is. Golden text Gen.
xxx, 81, But the Lord was with Jo-
seph and Showed him mercy Joseph
suffered and waited for his reward
3-Joseph honored as told in Genesis
xii, 3S-49. Golden text, 1 Sam, H., 80,
Them that honor Me I will honor. y
From prison Joseph is suddenly exalted
to be ruler over all the land of Egypt,
and second to Pharoah, and this when
he was but thirty years of age, the age
ministry.
4.-Joseph and his brethren, as told in
Genesis xiv, 1-15. Golden text, Rom. xii,
q, BE not overcome of evil, but over
come evil with good After perhaps
twenty years He who performed all
things for him enabled him to- heap
Goals of fire upon the heads of those who
had treated him so cruelty, and how low
ingly he did it when he said: BE not

God did send me before you to preserve
life''
5.-Death of Joseph as described in
Genesis l., 1920. Golden text, Psalm xc.,
12 $50 teach us to number our days
that we may apply our hearts unto wis
DOM" 1t is a severe trial to have ones
love or motives or sincerity questioned,
and that Josephs brethren should come
to him for forgiveness after theyShad ems
joyed his good wishes for many years
was a great grief to him. 1t must be a
sorrow to our Lord when those whom He
has sanctified and justified question their
salvation and seek to obtain itaby their.
own works instead of thanking Him for
the full benefit of His finished work
6.-Israel oppressed in Egypt, told In
Exodus l., LIZA. Golden Text, Ex.ssii.,s "a
God heard their grooming and God re-.
membered His covenant" God permits
evil seemingly to have sway, yet lie
works by it or in spite of it all the good
pleasure of His will and the highest in
terests of His people
THE childhood of Moses, as told in
Exodus H., 1-10 Golden Text, Prov xiii,
q, Train Up a child in the way he should
go, and when he is old he will not de-
part from it, What striking incident
that the daughter of Pharaoh, the man
who was seeking to destroy Israel and
had given commandment to kill all the
male children, should bring up as her
own son one of these male children, des-
tined to be the deliverer of Israel from
the cruelty of Egypt.
8-World's Temperance Lesson, found
ed ON Isaiah v, $50. Golden text, Isaiah
", %, 'Woe unto them that are mighty
to drink wine' These six weesS upon
the covetous, the drunkard, the desper-
ately wicked, the perverse, the worldly
wise and the haters of righteousness are
a parallel with the woes of the aelass
mentioned in Matthew xiii.
9.-The call Of Moses, as told in Exodus
iii, LIP. Golden text, Elk. ill.,, IL, Ger
tainly 1 will be with thee" When Moses
was forty years old he supposed that his
brethren would have understood how@that
God by His hand would deliver them,
but did not for the time had not come.
He was forty years ahead of time. But
now after Keeping Sneep Tor forty wears
God calls him and commissions him To-
lead Israel out through the direct help Of
God.
10.-Moses and Pharaoh, as told in Ex-
odus XII, Ito. Golden text Isaiah xiii, 9,
THE angel of His presence saved them
When Moses and Aaron went to the rul-
ers in Israel they were accepted by the
people as Gods messengers, but when
they went to Pharaoh with the demand
that he should let Israel go they We're
turned away with contempt. So God
humbled Pharaoh by ten frightful
plaques.
1.-THE Passover, as told in Exodus
xii, LII. Golden text, l Cor. ", Z, Christ,
our Passover, is sacrificed for u.s. There
is no salvation from death, the conse-
quence of sin, but by death, the death of
slain to provide the redemption clothing
for Adam and Eve; in the ram offered on
the altar in Isaac's stead; and here in
the Passover lambs whose sprinkled blood
saved the lives of the first born-aH sacri
fees being typical of the great sacrifice
of Him by whose blood the sins of the
world can be made clean.
12-The passage of the Red sea, as
told in Exodus xiv, 1927. Golden text,
Exodus XIV, 1, 81 will sing unto the Lord,
for He hath triumphed gloriously." The
Lord who made a way through the sea
and triumphed over the hosts of Pharaoh
is the same who afterwards, in the flesh,
died that man might live.
