JOSeph'S Kindness to his kindred,
Genesis As: 1-30; 50:24-26, for Sun
day, June 20:
When Judah insisted that he be
held in bondage, instead Of Ben
jamin, Joseph was overcome, and he
revealed his identity and ordered
transportation for conveying his
fathers family to Egypt, in fertile
Goshen.
v. 1. "And Israel took his jour
ney with all that he had, and came
to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices
to the God of his father, Isaac .
Though moving toward Egypt, a.
questionable place morally, Jacob
goes fortified by the religion of his
fathers, and he worshiped and
sought God for guidance.
V. 2. "And God spake unto Israel
in the visions of the night, and said
Jacob, Jacob! And he said, here am
l." When one truly worships God,
Gods will is revealed; not only that,
but the worshiper develops a read!-
ness to obey His will.
V. 3. "And he said, / am God,
the God of thy father; fear not to go
down into Egypt, for l will there
make of thee a great nation" jacob
was about to undertake dangerous
venture, but it seemed wise and
practical. Life is full of dangerous
duties, but men of character fear
lessly follow duty's paths, and when
right relations with God are main
tanned, divine assistance is assured.
V. 4. "And l will go down with
thee into Egypt; and / will surely
bring thee up again; and Joseph
shall put his hands upon thine eyes. y
1t was not foretold Jacob what his
experiences would be, but final vic
tory was assured because God was
with him in life and in death. To
live right is to die right.
VS.. 5, s. "And Jacob rose up from
Beersheba; and the sons of Israel
carried Jacob their father, and the
little ones, and their wives in the
wagons which Pharaoh had sent
them, and they came into Egypt.
Filial love that cares for aged par
ents is commendable. There is u
touch of tenderness bespeaking char
acter, when the little ones are well
cared for
V. 7. "And his sons, and his
sons sons and all his seed brought
he with him unto Egypt There was
no family quarrel that caused anv
to refuse to go along. There are no
feuds in Gods family
V. 28. "And he sent Judah be-
fore him unto Joseph to show the
way before him unto Goshen; and

are subject to one or more diseases.
Many of these diseases may be con-
trolled or held in check by spraying
with the right materials at proper
intervals, according to J. D. Wilson
of the botany department of the
Ohio agricultural experiment sta
ton.
Bordeaux mixture is the fungicide
most commonly used. Bordeaux Is
recommended for all but few
plants, cucumbers, muskmelons, to.
matoes, and beans, which are liable
to injury by it. For them it is ad-
visable to use less active compounds
of copper, such as Coposil, copper
oxychloride, and possibly others.
There is general tendency to use
Bordeaux mixture in fOrmulae which
are stronger than necessary. IN
many instances the old 1850 for
mula may be reduced to a $3.50 or
2250 with nearly as good results
in the way of disease control and
considerably less chance of host in
jury.

Joseph's Kindness to his Kindred,
Genesis 46: :130; 50:24-26, for Sun
day, June 20:
Why are people apparently more
religious when in trouble?
When does Christian need to
live in danger?
How may one suffer affliction
without sorrow?
How far ought one to depend up
on parents faith?
How does the spirit of love break
down animosity?
What moral value in obeyi1g and
honoring parents?
Glorious says: "The godly thing to
do is to rejoice in the virtues and
good fortune of others, rather than
to be jealous Of them and hate
them"
Lesson prayer: MAY the heritage
of Christian fathers be ours, and in
that faith help us show kindness to
all men"

made such good record, especially
in plans worked out with Joseph,
that he is now honored and trusted
above the others. 1t is mans rec
ord that counts.
V. 20. and Joseph made ready
his chariot, and went up to meet
Israel his father, to Goshen; and he
presented himself to him and fell on
his neck, and wept on his neck n

honor possible to his father; his love
burst out in childlike tears, natural
and manly; the sweetest thing on
earth are family ties.
V. 80. "And Israel said unto JOS
eph, Now let me die, since I have
seen thy face, that thou art yet
alive" His hope was realized Jacob
wanted to die, but it was Gods will
that he live seventeen years more.
1t is not for us to say when our life

V. "a. "And Joseph said unto his
brethren, l die; but God will surely
visit you, and bring you up out Of
this land unto the land which he
swear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. .
Joseph dwelt in Egypt till he was
10 years old. Joseph had a living
faith, and by it gave instructions to
those about him.
V. rs. "And Joseph took an oath
of the children of Israel, saying,
Surely Cod will visit Won and We
shall carry my bones from hence"
In the last hours the home feelings
arise, and there arises desire to
sleep with kindred. Joseph died as
he had lived, one of Gods elect.
