ca Cd n n,.s s,.Se, r. cup P. 10 ~, .
jamin's sack Of "TAe cup soas found
wheat. After the ~ Be~jam1n's
brethren had got sooS
ten fairly started homeward, Joseph
sent servants to demand his cup.
The brethren protested their inno-
cence. and declared that II the cup
were found in their possession. they
would willingly become slaves. The
search was made. and the cup found.
In great distress the company wendell
it, way back to the palace.
Again Joseph was austere and re-
proved them. that they might have op-
portunity to abandon Benjamin. Pro-
testing innocence. they declared their
willingness to become Joseph's slaves.
But he answered that only the guilty
one BENJAMIN = should become his
slave, and that the rest should return
home. and continue to enjoy the favors
Of Egypt. This proposition he knew
would test them. Had they the same
heartlessness that they had exhibited
when they sold him into slavery?
Then Judah. who had pledged him
self that BENJAMIN should return in
safety. made an eloquent appeal. and
entreated that he be accepted as
slave in Benjamin's stead. He ended
with the question. "How shall 60 up
to my father. and the lad be not with
me? lest l see the evil that shall be-
fall my father"
The evidence Of a change of heart
was satisfactory to Joseph. and is to us
all. Those who love righteousness re-
:joice in righteousness. as those who
love sin rejoice in It. When we per-
ceive so marked a change in those
men. we rejoice, not only for their
:sakes. but also at the general lesson
furnished. The conviction is borne in
upon us that much Of the sin. the
meanness. the cruelty Of today may be
attributed to inherited weaknesses and
immature experience. We say, 'How
great change would probably be ef-
fected by broader. deeper knowledge
.of ourselves and others!"
And do not LIES daily experiences
tend to give us the broadening of SYM
pathies, and thus character-develop-
ment? Doubtless there are exceptions
to every rule. but It is our conviction
that a sufAciency Of the likeness Of
God remains in every member Of our
race to permit him at times to appre-
ciate the good. the noble, the pure. It
IL because he il surrounded by sin and
sel6shness that these godlike senti-
ments are % rarely brought into ex-
ercise.
When Will Men Pro4ft9
Some will say. Admitting that life's
trials teach men the sinfulness Of sin
and the wisdom Of righteousness, where
would be the profit Of such instruction
II only the sanity, who walk in Jesus
footsteps under covenant Of self-sac-
Fi6ce. are to share In the Ringdom3
How win the remainder Of the race
profit BY their experiences, II death
ends all HOPPER
The answer IL that we have made q
mistake respecting the teachings Of the
Bible. The Scriptures nowhere say that
al hope Of salvation ends when we fall
asleep In death. SO far a. the Church
Il concerned, It IL true that death ends
their probation. But this IL not true
concerning the world. The Church
alone IL now on trial. The worlds trial
time win be in the next Age.
Christie Reign will be the great thou
