Grandpa 1SraeIS blessing that
he gave Joseph's two boys?
Let's take1a peep at it before we
go any further. Get your Bible
and read the 48th chapter of
Genesis. I'll wait here again
till you read it.
Are you through? All right.
That's a purity interesting yarn,
amt it? Joseph couldn't fool
his old dad, even if he was blind.
Them two boys, Ephraim and1
Manasseh, were just little tots
then, but their old grandaddy
knew that their descendants
would figure large in the worlds
affairs some day. I want to call
your special attention to the
18th and 10Th verses of that
4Sth chapter of Genesis.
Listen:
And Joseph said unto his father, Not
soSmy father; for this is the first
born; put thy right hand upon his
head. And his father refused, and
said: I know it, my son, | know it:
he also shall become a people, and he
also shall be great; but truly his
younger brother shall be greater than
he, and his seed shall become a multi,
tude of nations.-Gen. 48:18-19.
There, honey-did you hear
that? And do you get what it
means? Both of Joseph,stboys
were to become great, but the
younger one, Ephraim, was to
be greater than his brother
Manasseh. Ephraim's seed was
to become "a multitude of
nations"
Now wait a minute. Let's
keep all straight. We know that
the seed of Ephram and
Manassas is not represented in
the Jews of today, because they
belonged to a different nation.
They belonged to the nation that
was 9lost'', but just as sure as
, God lives it is not going to stay
lost. Keep in mind the fact that
, Joseph's boy, Ephraim, was to
! be the father of many nations,
and the Jewish nation was not to
be one of them. Paste that
q under your hat-band. Judah
and Benjamin were the daddies
ofthe- Jewish nation, and Joseph
and his boys had nothing at all
to do. with it.
Then where are the nations
that were to spring from
Ephraim? Just as sure as you
live they are somewhere in the
t world today, and they are tax.
ing a big active part in the
t worlds affairs right now. Whek
y you think what a big man ane
), what a powerful leader JOSEPH
t was in his day, and then wher
you connect that with the glow
ing prophecy of what Joseph's
d seed was to amount to at some
later period, you just can
# escape the conviction that som,
IS of the leading nations now il
@ the world are the seed of Joseph
le Not just one nation, mind you
y but several nations-even g;

was coming, and after aWnlle
the brothers and the old folks
and all had to move down there
and let Joseph feed them. They
must have liked Egypt pretty
well; anyhow, they just hung
up their hats and stayed.
In a few generations the
Israelites had grown to be very
numerous there in Egypt, and
the Egyptians made slaves of
them, and then Moses grew up
and led the Israelites out Of
Egypt to the Promised Land,
Palestine. There they settled
and became a great and strong
nation and had great kings over
them, such as David and Solo
mon.
Then after awhile they had a
split-up among themselves and
divided into two nations. In
order to understand just what
the split-up was about and how
it all happened, you must read
carefully the 18th chapter of
First Kings. Now don't skip
over this reference without
knowing what it is, but get your
Bible and read it. TIL just wait
here till you do it.
Well, did you read it? All
right. You see that Solomon's
son, Rehoboam, got the big-head
so bad that the people couldn't
stand him, and ten Of the tribes
pulled loose from the old king
dom and set up a new kingdom
of their own. They called it the
kindom of Israel and chose them
>selves a king named Jeroboam.
So King Rehoboam just had two
tribes left to follow him (the
tribes of Judah and Benjamin.
and that kingdom was called
Judah. And always after that
the two parts of the old kingdom
were known as the House OF
Judah and the House of Israel
They never .did get back to.
gether. any more. Remembel
that these two kingdoms were
both made up of the family o.
Jacob. The two-tribe kingdom
was Judah, and the ten-trib'
kingdom was Israel.
Well, after awhile both set
of these people became wickel
and idolatrous, and God had t,
punish them for their wicked
ness. The House of Israel wa
destroyed first and the peopl
were carried away captives int
a heather land. This was in

the House of Judah, but sh
didn't benefit by it. She jus
kept on being wicked and idols
trous SO that it had to be dc
stroyed, too. Jeremiah speak
of it in this way:
The Lord said unto me in the da,
of Josiah the king: Hast thou sec
that which backsliding Israel hat
done? She is gone up upon ever
high mountain and under every gree
tree, and there hath played the ha

found that an average pront OF at
least a cent per pound was necessary
in order to maintain and stimulate
production or that minimum price OF
$4.37 was necessary, and even this
would stif1e some producers.
"The price ultimately agreed was %
cents above these figures, OF about one
fifth Of a cent per pound to the Ameri-

amount has been saved by our reduc-

stifle production in Cuba we could
take that course just at the time or all
times in our history when we want
production for ourselves and the al
lies. Further than that, the state de-
partment will assure you that such
course would produce disturbances In
Cuba and destroy even our present
supplies, but beyond all these material
reasons is one Of human justice. This
great country has no right by the
might of its position to strangle Cuba.
Therefore there is no imposition

the Hawaiian farmer about that

the California refinery, because their

Surface cars will run to-day and

from a dead stop, and by eliminating
half the stops in days run 1T is

Autoless Sundays for All u. S.

WASHINGTON, Sept 14-The fuel
administration announced to-day that
there is a possibility that its autolcss
Sunday request may be extended to
cover the entire country.
This will depend, the administration
said. upon the ability of mid-continent
rehners to supply the territory west of
the Mississippi and at the same time
furnish the gasolene they have agreed
to deliver at the Atlantic scaboard,
Refiners arc oanvassng the situation
with view to determining if they can
provide for both demands.
Although the exact amount of gaso-
lcnc saved in the territory east of the
Mississippi in the last two Sundays,
since the request was made, cannot be
determined, the administration esti-
mated it at 900 barrels, which has
added materially to the reserve availa-
bic for shipment overseas.
