family life. for they could not appreciate
our feelings or sympathize with us in our
common life. SO he ordered the entrance
hall to be cleared by his officers SO that
he might let the brothers know that Zaph-
was none other than their lost brother
Joseph, whom they mourned as dead
through their sinful acts. The unexpected
action of the servants, scribes and strang-
ers suddenly departing at the command
of the ruler filled them with dread and
alarm lest they would suffer for the
speech Of judah, which they all saw had
moved him.
They were unprepared for the surpris-
ing statement uttered in their own tongue
by the ruler to whom they had been
speaking through an interpreter when he
declared unto them that he was Joseph.
1t came to them like a flash of lightning
out of the clear sky. They We're startled
by the disclosure and as with an aroused
truth that he was in reality Joseph
dawned upon them. They We're stunned
by the fact that they were all i'm the
presence and power of the brother whom
they had cruelty wronged, and. filled with
fear. they shrank back, dreading what
next he will do, as they recalled how
that he seemed to be playing with them

pected that all that through which they
had passed was but the commencement of
the revenge which Joseph would exact
for their past treatment of him.

Piety and Peace.

Piety and peace are inseparable. This
is true individually, nationally and inter-
nationally. Righteousness is a condition
necessary for the individuals peace and
not less so for nations peace or for
peace between nations.
Righteousness exalteth everyMman, as
it does every nation. and sirfis a re-
proach to every man. as it is to every
nation. A man Is at peace when he Is
just and righteous National and inter
national peace depends upon the justice
and righteousness Of their governmental
dealings. Universal justice. then univer-
sal peace, and not before.
\ man must be just before he can be at
peace. His justification is not and cam
not be in or of himself but by Christ's
righteousness being imputed to him. God
is God of justice, and He is Just as the
1ustifer of those who accept His decree
of pardon as offered by the vicarous
atonement made by His Son, in that He
suffered in the room and stead of the
guilty.
Justice is the foundation of all things.
There is no peace, no tranquility outside
of it. There cannot be grace until jus
tice Is satisfied. The supreme and eter
nal end of all things is justice. Any man
or any nation that demands more than
Justice Is a fool or scoundrel and 1t Is
far remove from peace to have to deal
with one or the other.
The conclusion of the whole matter is
that man must have peace with God In
the reconciliation with Him through the
blood of the everlasting atonement.
When this condition is general among
men, there will be peace between ell mei
and among all nations
Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye
look for such things, be diligent that We
NAV be found of Him in peace, without
spot and blameless."

q. S. IN MOVIE BUSINESS.
Government Provides Films for Iso-
lated Camps in West.

Through the award OF contracts for
several thousand feet of motion picture
films, II became known today that the
United States government is engaged in
the moving picture business on a big
scale. The enterprise is being carried on
by the reclamation service in its camps
in the west. a number OF which have been
established owing to the prosecution OF
great irrigation projects and other engi.
neering work The movies furnish their
part I'm the general scheme to keep the
workmen and their families. isolated from
the world. contented and happy.
According to an official statement in
all the great camps meeting halls are
erected and a general club is established,
usually under the supervision of a rep
'xesentative of the Y. NJ. {. a. The gov
ernment furnishes books and daily pa
pers and likewise provides lecturers and
engages the services of other entertainers
for the workers.
The hall is also used for dances and
for other social entertainments, but the
moving pictures form one of the chief
features of the entertainment supplied by
the government, the films being passed
from camp to camp.

The court shared with Joseph in the

impression that they had made upon him
as well as the high esteem that he had
for Joseph led Pharaoh to add his nvi-

him to furnish transportation TO bring his
father and brethren, with their families.

appears to be contradictory to Ramsay 5
solution of the different statements con-
corning Joseph's being sold into slavery.
It is the only passage that does not
harmonic with the suggested transla-
ton given in former lesson, yet. ii We
knew all the facts that We're familiar
to Joseph and his brethren. this probably
would not appear contradictory. and ii
is evident that We are not to read into
them everything we might. for Joseph
knew that iI was the Ishmaeiites VIII.
actually sold him into Egypt. Evidently
he is placing the responsibility for his

action of leaving him unguarded i'm the

chant men or as through the converse
ton recorded in Genes's f2:2i he may

guilt. but that is not the emphatkc

brother. and through divine grace he
was the ruler of Egypt. for Jehovah had
brought good out of what they had
planned to be evil.
We do not wonder at the brothers
terror. and that even the tears aud signs
of affection failed at first to assure them
that i'm love for their father and them
he had blotted out the past, because
Joseph realized that there Is unity in
life that forbids our isolatng the differ
ent experiences of life. 1t is only the
man of sorrows and success who can
understand that the joys of life are the
results of ripened sorrows. Joseph points
out to them that his position will give
him power to save the family that has
been reunited by their mutual love from
perishing during the coming five years
Of the famine. He proposed that they
hasten home to tell their aged father of
Gos's mercy tic him and then to
hast Back to Egypt to enjoy the fruits
of the land over which God had made
him a ruler to save their life. After this
he fell upon their necks and wept COM
mencing with Benjamin, and they gave
amid their tears of rejoicing the kiss
of reconciliation. and then enjoyed a sea-
son of fellowship.
In that sweet communion that follows
forgiveness and true reconciliation they
talked over the mysteries that before they
could not fathom in their experience with
Joseph Now that they know who he is
