Sunday Study,


ISRAEL OPPRESSED IN EGYPT
The International Sunday School lesson
for Nov 10 is found in Exodus j., IA. The
golden text is: "God heard their groan-
ing and God remembered His covenant, .
Exodus H.. a. The place is the land OF
Goshen, the time 1878 BIC 1t is interest
ing to note that the Israelitish history
began with a man-Abraham. 1t was
a family that settled in Egypt. NOW
the family has become a people. Soon
the people will be organized into ma
ton.
The first verses of Exodus are sum-
mary of the conditions under which Is
rael grew from family to a people GO
shen was not very fertile, but TT Tor
the pasturage of large fioeks. Here the
conditions for rapid growth were favor
able because of the abundance OF room,
of air and of food And the children
of Israel We're fruitful and increased
ahundantly and multiplied and waxed ex-
ceeding mighty and the land was I'LL
ed with them" God had said to Jacob
when he was leaving Canaan, Pear not
to go down to Egypt, for l will there
make of thee a great nation" And all
His promises are sure, for He is the God
of Truth or, literally, the God Amen.
The blessing of the Lord was upon
SOAi
without that accomplishes nothing, but
that without toll maketh rich indeed.
Now there arose up a new king over
Egypt, which knew not Joseph" Neither
did he know the Lord of Joseph, for he
talked about dealing wisely with Israel
so that they might not multiply, and
he did his best, by taskmasters who
afflicted them with heavy burdens, to
keep them from, multiplying, but the
counsel of the Lord standeth forever,
the thoughts of His heart to all gener-
atiens.h Made to serve with rigor, made
bitter with hard honda ge-these are state
mentse concerning the life which the
Egyptians caused the Israelites to live
yet under life like that they prospered
for God was with them.
+ No people could live so long in any land
as the Israelites did in Egypt without
becoming attached to it. At the time OF
our lesson the Israelites knew of no 9TH
er home. They were growing too nu-
merous to remain where they were, ane
yet they would not have willingly gone
somewhere else. The hardships anc
cruelties they endured at the hands oil
the Egyptians, therefore, were necessary
to reconcile them to the thought of go
ing away. In this, again. we see the
hand of God working for their good
Kindness on the part of the Egyptians
just at this critical time would have
robbed them of their chance of ever be-
coming a nation.
l. No matter how good or important
a~man may be in a community or natior
he cannot always remain here

not depend upon any one man. The
workers die, but Gods work goes on.

SAUSAGE MEAT.

How are we to know of what sausage
meat is made, such as we buy In various
styles, plaintively asks an uneorhisticat-

direct product of the economic and pro-
gressive age in which we live. There are
wastes-scraps, odds and ends livers,
hearts, edible viscera, blood, old horses
and possibly other quadrupeds by which
the modern sausage seductivelv favored,

FOUR KINDS OF PUPILS.

The Talmud says there are four kinds
of pupils-the sponge and the funnel the
strainer and the sieve. The sponge is
he who taketh UP everything, and the
funnel is he who taketh in at this ear
and letteth out at that; the strainer is
he that letteth go the wine and retaineth
the dross, and the sieve is he that letteth
go the bran and retaineth the fine flour

THE BEST THEOIOcv

The world thinks of Christ more TODAY
than ever. Christ's influence is felt more
in the world now than ever it was.
Tkeologiahs and scholars are paying more
attentionsto His words spoken 1000 years
ago thansever they did. Painters arer de.
signing Him in various paintings. His
tcrians are searching the misty past for
more knowledge of Him, with the result
that many different kinds of theology are
icing offered nus today. But whatever
you think of Christ that will you be.
Your own theology is the best and it is
Ior always safe to endeavor to follow the
lines as set down by some great thinker
sor writer. Seek to have thorough
knowledge of Christ and a theology of
Your own. and the best you could find
Nl fill your minds.-Rev. William Surdi-
val Congregationalist, Pfttsburg.
HAPPINESS.

will never BE- satisfied. Place and pos

these who live the larger life can know

tie things which fail to depress, dis

not had great happiness in life, count it

OUR NATIONAL BONDAGE.

The Christian Endeavor topic for Nov
10 is devoted to temperance and founded
upon Habakkuk j., 1917, and Amos W.,
l-6. The former complains of the in
iquity of the land and the latter of the
Wantonness of Israel.
Amos saw and deplored the results
of the appetite for alcoholic liquors
which had made such havoc both in
the land of Judea and in the northern
kingdom of Israel. Habakkuk notes the
connection of Wickedness of many kinds
with the idolatrous practices of his times
The worshipers of God are now, as
in the days of the prophets of Israel,
opposed to all the corruption which fol-
lows indulgence in intoxicating drinks.
Righteousness and goodness, happiness
and prosperity can never exist where
drunkenness prevails Intoxication de-
ranges all the functions of the body,
diseases its tissues debases the inner ma,
ture and destroys intellectual powers. It
is deadly to all that is distinctively eX-
cellent and valuable in human nature
Yet 1t is fascinating in the extreme and
especially difficult to resist when appe-
tite has once been acquired for it's pecu-
liar effects.
Our own nation is to a great extent
bound by the power of the liquor traffic
and drinking habits. One of the worst
features of the situation is the connec-
ton of the government with the business
through the revenue it derives from the
manufacture and sale of alcoholics The
wrong of this is clearly seen by our own
people and by all those who are alert
on temperance reform. There can be
no halt called and no compromise made
The issue is clearly made, and we shall
spare no effort to change the situation
from governmental protection of and
participation in the profits of that bust
ness which ruins citizens and society to
governmental prescription and prohibi-
ton. 1.-THE liquor traffic can never be
legalized without sin"
