An Irishman who was too old for
active work was offered the position
of crossing tender at q small railroad

duties of the office were explained to
him and the meaning of the various
flags was clearly stated.

his explanation. A hard old hand

|. 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
(46:34). But they are his brethren
and he was glad to confess them even
as Christ will gladly confess us.

Joseph's Great Wisdom.

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 1913
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 (45:10); it was separated
| from all unnecessary contact with the
Egyptians ". 34) and it was a 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 o.
cattle.
II. Jacob and Pharaoh, w. ZIP
erAaraoh does not seem to be overl!
enthusiastic over these fiVe brother
whom Joseph presented ". 50. Asid'
from the fact that they were Joseph
brothers, there was nothing to com
mend them. No more have we any
thing to commend us in the sight o
God aynent that We are Christ

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 sustenanee 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 bis 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 q pilgrimage.
Conclusion. Not included in our
lesson, but in this section, we have
set before us Josephs 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 Hip, there is presented
to us Joseph's provision for his father
and his brethren. This is \ type OF
Christ in His care for us. In the
midst of dangers (Jno. 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 ths place which He has gone
to prepare for us, John 1872, :, IL, "a
though He has not left us comfortless
during these day of separation, John

10Y. 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 3S), 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
perience of the hour. The exile Of
today is the princely possessor of to
morrow,

SAVE THE CALVES
Steps are Taken to Prevent Further
Shortage Of Beef
Cattle

So serious is the shortage in beef
that the government, while seeking
to promote cattle raising a. home, is
securing the world for supplies. DIR.
A. d Melvin. Grief Of the bureau of
animal industry, has gone to South
America on a three months investiga
ton Of the possibility Of getting ad-
eQuate supplies of cattle and beef
from Argentine. Brazil, Uruguay and
Paraguay Other experts Of the de-
partment win start this month on
similar missions to Australia and
other lands.
American beef exports according to
the figures Of the department Of com
meree, have dropped from 255, 900, 900
pounds in 1912, to 100000 pounds in
1913. The drop has been from $780,
900. 900 value in 1912 down to 81 600
900 in 1913, and canned beef from rs.
100000 pounds to 100000 pounds in
the same period.
But in the face of this emergency,
little progress has been made in the
conservation Of the beef supply by
stopping the reckless slaughter of
calves
In 1912 the federal inspection show
ID 2.242, 229 calves slaughtered, not
counting the vast number killed for
local use and therefore not brought
under government Inspection. The
waste in the killing OF calves is seen
in the fact that the average weight
OF a steer is six or seven hundred
pounds, while calves are slaughtered
at about a hundred pounds Preach
ing the profit OF raising the calves
does not seem to have any agreeable
effect Why not a federal law forbid
ding the sale or use Of veal?
In connection with the beef supply
for this nation of a hundred million
people. It ought TO be remembered
that Alaska has other possibilities
than gold and coal At the govern
ment station at Kodiah Island herd
of Galloway cattle has been raised.
Fhis breed has been found perfectly
adapted to the climate the hundred
head being maintained successfully
en- pasture, silage and hay made from
native grasses Yet there are less
than 1000 cattle in the 100000 squarz
miles in Alaska. The area of this
far-north territory exceeds the com
biued acreage of Iowa. Kansas, Mich
igan Minnesota, Missouri Nebraska

HORSE DELIVERY
Governments Report Shows Cost Of
service is Materially Lower Than
by Any Other Motive Power

Interesting facts concerning the re.
lative cost Of delivery by horse drawn
vehicles and by automobiles are con
tained in recent report dealing with
the parcel post says the Hardware
Trade.
OF all the packages delivered In
the fifty leading cities of the nited
States 1850 were distributed By mo.
tor vehicles at an average Of $50
cents per parcel
The cost OF delivering 225,721 par
cells by horse drawn vehicles was Oh
y 9.S5 cents a parcel
In certain lines of delivery work
there is no question that the motor
vehicle Is cheaper and better, but
with small packages, short hauls and
frequent stops the figures of the Pos
Office Department seem to show con
clusively that the horse has the ad-
vantage
If the horse breeders OF the coul-
try had, to use John Splan's picture
sque way of putting it, half as much

would have these telling statistics
presented to him in attractive form
but lacking such enterprise in mat
ters concerning the general welfare,
horsenen merely look OF while the
automobile makers exhibit statistics
favorable to their industry and re-
pace horses with machines.
The figures of the department, the
accuracy of which cannot well be
