L. Joseph Diseloses His Identity to
His Brethren wv. 1-0.
lie treated his brethren harshly at
frs, his purpose being to ascertain as
TO whether they were the same cruel,
henrtleSs men rs before, and TO
produce penitcnce in their hearts They
keonly felt their guilt and heartily re-
pentcd of their folly. Judah's pathetic
appeal overcame his apparent harsh
ness causing him Ia disclose his iden-
tity Being unable to restrain his pent-
up emotions he orders every one from
his presence. This act on the part of
Joseph troubled them; 1t ought to have
made them glad. Their sins prevented
II being n time of joy for them. This
most beautifully illustrates Christ's
dealing with his brethren, the Jews.
Just as they who had rejected him and
sold him were compelled to come to
him for aid, so when the great tribula'
ton comes, Christ's brethren, the Jews,
will cry unto him for aid Daniel 1927;

1D. Joseph dealt severely with his
brethren to test them and bring them
to repentance. So Christ will do with
the Jews (IIosea 5:15; Ezekiel 22:19-
%. As Joseph's love was behind his
harsh exactings, so back OF Christ's
treatment of the Jews will be his great
love for them.
u. Joseph's Efforts to Assuage the
Grief Of His Brethren wv. 4-8).
When Joseph'reyealed himself to his
brethren, the remembrance of their
sins pierced them through. Joseph's
first question was about his father.
This shows that his desire was to put
their thoughts far away from their
crime He invited them to come near
unto him, and assured them God had
overruled their crime in sending him
for their salvation. They meant It for
evil, but 1t was part Of Gods plan FOR
good. This does not excuse them from
the guilt of the sin. In some future
time Christ will become reconciled to
his brethren, the Jews, and be their
Savior and benefactor Usaiah II 10
16). Peter on the day Of Pentecost,
showed that the Jews treatment of
Christ was such, and that Gods over
ruling providence had turned 1t out
for good. Just as Egypt was obliged
to come to Joseph for sustenance and
become servants for Pharaoh through
him Genesis 47:13-20), so will all the
world yet come TO Christ for his bless
ing, and be reconciled to God through
him Usiaiah 2;2-4; 11:10; Psalms
72:7-17; Zechariah II :16).
III. Joseph Sent His Brethren With
Good News to his Father wv. 9-15).
AS soon as Joseph's brethren knew
him and were reconciled to him, they
were sent with the glad tidings to
their father. lie assured them that he
would nourish them and that they
should be near him. They were direct
ed to tell of his glory. Jacob would
not have mourned the death of Joseph
had he known Of his glory. He now
gave them the kiss of reconciliation
and they were permitted to talk with
him. Reconciliation precedes com.

Typical Case Of Treachery.

In the course of a certain offensive
last year a British cavalry officer was
ordered to charge a German machine
gun position. ct was one of the few
Shows" in which cavalry could be
used) The officer did SO. captured the
position and made prisoners of the
gunners. who formally surrendered to
him, with much holding up of hands
and loud crying of "Kamerad" Then
the cavalry commander led his squad
ron on to a new position that was
causing trouble. Immediately he had
turned his back the supposed German
prisoners trained their machine guns
on him SO that he was forced to turn
back and annihilate the battery.
Now, that may have been good tao
tics, good treachery. according to the
German code of warfare. And to judge
an act of war by the rules of sport
would be absurd. But, after all. the
world does not live. cannot live. ac-
cording to the code Of war. It must
exist, II it is to exist at all. by the
code of peace: and a true peace cannot
be established upon foundation OF
faithlessness, no matter how loglcal
that faithlessness may be.

ing what we would get in return. Now
we give them two for one, and a very
satisfying sensation it is"
The American troops, we may thank
God. and the allies will be spared
much OF that early agony of unpre-
paredness. Nevertheless the Germans
undoubtedly will make point Of edu-
rors of modern warfare. Recently 1
saw copies of several German news
papers, inspired prostitutes Of the press.
They professed to sneer at the Ameri-
can effort, stating editorially that the
troops from the United States would
soon find themselves face to face with
the grim actualities Of war-the OBJ
vious deduction being that the Ameri-
cans would not be able to survive the
shock.

trenches they know better. They will
know still more when they make the
acquaintance of German machine guns.
THE large brother from overseas who
has given billions to carry on the war
and who has won so many billions out
of the war will now pay the blood tax
and will send not only cannonS but food
for cannons. Still, it remains to be seen
what the fresh-baked American troops
will do against German machine guns.
1t is easy to make several million men
march on paper. but that will not de-
feat the Germans
There is undeniable truth in the latter
statement, and if there are any persons
in America who still believe that we
can scare the German military party
into submission by mobilizing statistics
of our national wealth and strength, let
those persons be assured that they are
toying with false hopes. The German

practical purposes he is as cunning as

There are two ways in which Ger
tinuous. unrelenting military pressure,
the other by internal political disor-
der. There is a possibility that if the
military pressure were suddenly re-
moved her imperialiStic structure might
fall to pieces; but that is a possibility
which cannot be verified. Far more
certain is the fact that her people will
demand peace when they perceive the
impossibility of defeating the world
by force of arms.
To make peace with anything in a
German uniform" would be to thrust
ones head into the lions mouth.
Whether or not the German people
can be trusted is a matter yet to be
determined. The German soldier can
not be, nor does the fact that he is
philosophically and consistently faith
less render him any less dangerous to
deal with. A rattlesnake is doubtless
sincere when it strikes.

Sideights on the War

The pomp and glory of war are triv-
ial things when compared to the ruined
homes. wasted fields, destruction and
general devastation, according to an
Army officer returned from the battle
front in France.
In view of the fact that both the Ger
mans and the allies intend to make use
of those numbering, awe-inspiring and
deadly tanks during the years fighting,
there is considerable speculation as to
what will happen when tank meets
tank. 1t will be like a fight between
two prehistoric monsters.
An American who visited the German
headquarters early in the war and who,
short time ago, visited Gen. Haig's
headquarters in France, described the
difference between the two.

BY DANA BURNET.

NORTH OF FRANCE. January 10
AS the Trojans feared the Greeks bear
ing gifts. so the allies fear the Ger
mans talking peace. At least the men
who have had most to do with the Ger
mans since 1914, the soldiers in the
trenches, feel that way about it. The
great obstacle in the way Of peace to-
day is the record Of German treachery
that is written across the north Of France
from Flanders to Switzerland.
Not long ago. in a much battered lit
tie village just behind the front line, 1
was having tea with a general who has
seen and personally participated in
some of the hardest fighting of the
war. He was big man with q kindly,
gentle face; and he did not particular
ly enjoy being a general He would
rather have been almost anything e2se.

vastly stupid thing. You couldn't hold
intelligent, free-thinking men to it un-
less they knew that it was the only
way of dealing with a constituencies
foe. Let the statesmen at home wave
flags and make phrases. The soldier in
the trenches knows that he is fighting
because he can't trust his enemy. There
is nothing in the German military ma
ture that thinking men can treat with.
The same spirit of faithlessness that
led to the violation of Belgium is pres

seized upon treachery as a weapon of
novel worth: it is for us to knock that
weapon from his hands before we ad-
init him once more to the society of

That same day the aviators attached
to the generals staff had brought in
word of unusual activity behind the
boche lines. While German politicians
in Berlin were offering peace to the
world-that is, pax Teutonica-the
German high command was preparing,
with its usual thoroughness, to use the
forces released from the Russian front
against the allies in the west And
for what purpose? Has all her talk of
peace, Of desiring to avoid further
bloodshed, altered Germanys original
ambitions? Does. she not plan today

ana variable circumstances alter. Let
1t be said here, however that all talk
OF breaking the allied line is irrelevant
and beside the point. The Germans
might drive wedge into it, paying SO
many thousand lives for so many yards
gained; but at the end of.the effort thew
would have accomplished nothing more
than a technical local success: they
would have created troublesome sa-
hent in their own line and automati-
cally would have outf1anked themselves.
In order to make any substantial gains
against the allies in the west the Ger
mans will have to inaugurate and main
tain at several points of the line simul-
taneously various continuing offensiyes

THE HOUSEHOLD
why Not Medieval Menuse
Edited by ANNE RITTENpoUsE

We draw our inspiration for our
frocks from dozen different sources
at least this spring. But perhaps the
medieval note is the strongest. We
are shapeless,s so far as a drawn-in
waistline is concerned, whatever in
fluence our frocks show. And this fea-
ture is a straight gift from medieval
times
If one were drawing logical conclu-
sionS one might think that in a year
when our frocks were medieval we
would look to the inspiration in house
furnishing, cooking and gardening. 1t
would seem very natural thing for us
to base all our tastes and fads on the
same period. But of course we don't
do that sort of thing. The very fact
that our fashions in clothes change so
quickly would make it impossible for
US to base all our other fads and
fancies on the same inspiration.
Medieval clothes may be adapted to
modern womankind without much diff
diculty. But medieval cooking we
should probably find out of the ques-
ton.
For one thing there are few medi-
eval cook books in existence. In the
middle ages and indeed well into mod
ern times, so-called cooking books
and recipe books were largely made
up of recipes for medical connections.
Some of them even went so far as to
discuss the effect of health upon diet.
lHO NOT III d very fflOOeTn way But OF
recipes pure and simple they gave
few. until long after the middle ages
had passed. However, we have been
able to learn a great deal about the
diet of the middle ages from other
sources. Around most of the great
heroes cluster stories of various favor
lite dishes. We have all heard that
William the Conqueror knighted a
cook because of a deIectable soup he
made, altho we have had a good deal
of difficulty in identifying the SOUP
We have also heard that William the
Conqueror. at a banquet, took advan-
tage of his kingly prerogative and
tried to strike down his steward, also
