LESSON TEXT-Gen. 47:1-12.
GOLDEN TEXT-"ro them that love
God all things work together for good"
Rom. 1928 r. V.
!. Joseph and Jacob, w. 1-6. JOS
eph's meeting with his aged father is
a beautiful picture. Again judah
comes into prominence as a sort of
ambassador in leading the old man
into this new land and to present him
before his son, who now is exalted so
highly among the rulers of the earth.
In this he is a prophecy of that day
when the descendants of Jacob shall
gather before Him whom they
pierced" Joseph does not await their
coming but went up to meet them"
(46:29) as they passed through the
province of Goshen.
1t is true that Jacob and his sons
came to Egypt at Pharaoh's personal
invitation (45:17, 1S), yet there were
sufficient reasons why Joseph might
have been ashamed of, or fearful to
associate with, these his kinsmen.
His father was :. plain countryman.
His brothers were not an altogether
reputable crowd. And, further, they
were shepherds and every shepherd
is an abomination unto the Egyptians"
(46:3D. But they are his brethren
and he was glad to confess them even
as Christ will gladly confess us.
Joseph's Great Wisdom.
We have here another evidence of
Joseph's great wisdom in that he COM
mands them to remain in Goshen
while he goes before them unto Pha-
raoh to prepare the way Even SO
not all are to come at once into Pha-
raoh's presence (47:2). In Acts I, :13
we read that this cavalcade consisted
of three score and fifteen souls,
though this probably did not include
slaves and other dependents. 1t is
very significant that Joseph secures
Goshen for his kinsfolk. 1t was near
to himself (45:10O; it was separated
from all unnecessary contact with the
Egyptians ". 34) and it was place
superior to all others for them as
herdsmen ". g.. Joseph anticipates
Pharaoh's question ". 81 and gave
his brothers instruction how to an
swer, but they seem to have gone
somewhat beyond in that they make
request that they might dwell in
Goshen Joseph charged them to
speak of themselves as keepers oi
cattle

from the fact that they were Joseph's
brothers, there was nothing to com
mend them. No more have we any
thing to commend us in the sight oi
God except that we are Christ's
brethren; though that is an abund
ance.

Pharaoh and Jacob.


The picture of old Jacob in the
presence of Pharaoh is striking in
one respect at least, the fact that
he who came to this land for the
blessing of the sustenance of life,
should bless Pharaoh. Jacob confer
red upon Pharaoh in his blessing more
than Pharaoh conferred upon Jacob
by the opening of all Egypt to him.
self and his family This act upon
the part of Jacob is suggestive of the
dignity of age, and significant in its
revelation of Jacobs relation to, and
knowledge Of, the purposes of God.
Pharaoh inquiries as to Jacobs age
and he replies that his pilgrimage"
had been 120 years. He who had
entered into all the rights of the birth
right and the blessings of Gods cove
nant people, exercised those rights
when he stands before the great Pha-
raoh. He had caught the truth that
an earthly life is but a pilgrimage.
Conclusion. Not included in our
lesson but in this section, we have
set before us Joseph's administration
of the affairs of Egypt which give us
further insight into the greatness of
this man. In the close of the lesson
proper, verses 11-12, there is presented
to US Joseph's provision for hia father
and his brethren. This is type Of
Christ in His care for us. In the
midst of dangers Ono. 1910, 2S) and
famine, and misunderstanding He is
ever near. Joseph is now satisfied for
he has is own near unto him. Jesus
Christ is longing that we may be with
Him in tht place which He has gone
to prepare for us, John 14:2, :, II, "a.

5:1 and the new wine prov. 3:9,
10). We thus see how God is work
ing out His purpose concerning the
Hebrew people.
Taken away from the peril into which
Judah fell (chapter 38), and the
threatened famine, also from the hos
tility of the other shepherd races
among whom they dwelt, they are
brought into Egypt and are there sep
arated and yet supplied as Gods plan
develops and they become big enough
and ready to be led back into their
promised ssession-Canaan. Gods
plan works for both the immediate
and the ultimate. The true value Of
any experience is not within the ex-
Iperienoe of the hour. The exile OF
today is the princely possessor OF to-
morrow.

nine straight victories slim Sallee
was registered a loser against the
rushing Philadelphia Nationals, al
though he pitched a better game than
any of the luckless five, allowing only
one run
