The response Joseph makes to
the mysteries and stress of life
and his magnanimous living is as
refreshing as cool mountain
spring on a warm summer day.
For a period of twenty years or
more the hand of Providence
seemed to be against him. His
suffering the loss of home and
loved ones by being sold into
Egyptian slavery by the members
of his own family whom he loved
and forced to live among strang-
ers in strange land without hope
of ever looking into the face of
his beloved father again was e.
.nough to crush the spirit OF the
most courageous youth. But this
was only the beginning of his
disillusions and disappointments.
AS he was about to establish him
self in the house of Potiphar the
false accusation Of a sinful and
unscrupuloUs woman caused him
to be thrown in the dungeon Of
the prison house. Several years
in Thu unsanitary Egyptian prl-
son with only the low, base surlv
prisoner as his daily companions
failed to break tha spirit Of this
God fearing, liberty-loving youth
nor arouse in him any self-p'tv
or bitterness. Through it all beln0
kept by the power of God through
faith and standing ready always
to make use of every opportunity
to serve he suffered patiently
every hardship permitted to come
his way.
To me. the spiritual greatness
of Joseph reaches its climax IN
that tense dramatic scene when
he reveals himself to his brethren.
Not only does he offer them for
giveness but with unrestralned
emotion offers them refuge from
the devastating famine and a
home for themselves and their
children in the most fertile and
favored section of Egypt. Note
how he scars above the mere
human attitude and outlook when
he says, II am Joseph your broth
er, whom We sold into Egypt. Now
therefore be not grieved, nor
angry with yourselves, that ye
sold me hither; for God did send
me before you to preserve life.
And God sent me before you to
preserve you a posterity in the
earth, and to save your lives by
a great deliverance. So now it
was not you that sent me hither,
but God" Here we see the COM
plete absence of any spirit of
anger, ill-will, revenge or hate.
There is only love and the spirit
of \helpfulness.
Joseph as an example OF for
giveness demonstrates the posi-
bilities of a human life fully sur
rendered and dedicated to God.
May the Lord give us grace to
say, "Not my will, but thine, be
done"

Revolutionary Changes

Great changes have taken place in this
country since Pearl Harbor, and still great
er changes are in the making.
New and unprecedented economic con-
trolls have been imposed. A considerable
proportion of the nations manpoWer has
either entered military service or left
peace industry for war industry. Very
heavy increases in taxation have been ap-
piled to industries and to individuals. In
short, we have definitely moved in the di-
rection of a 'total war economy.
But, as many authorities point out, this
IS only the beginning. Within the next
year, unless the world military situation
changes radically and unexpectedly, the
adjustments that will take place in Ameri-
can life will be almost revolutionary.
The manpoWer situation is a case in
point. High ~selective service officials re-
Gently stated that within the next twelve
months we will have around eleven mil
lion men n service, or, in other words, a
der As and over 49, Already the nations
reserve Of IA men is about exhausted and
in many areas draft boards are calling
married men without children into service
After the general election, it seems certain
that the draft law will be revised to in
Guiding Is and 10 year-old men.
War industry has been told to start
training draft-exempt people to take the
place of the physically-fit now employed
That means big share of the war pro-
duction will fall on the shoulders Of wo-
men, of men physically unfit for military
service and on men past draft age.
The new and strict "anti-inflation' con-
trolls which the President announced on
Labor Day will soon be enforced. Past
OPA policy was not adequate because ma
ny commodities were exempt from con-
troll and because wages, farm prices and
other costs continued to rise. Excess pur-
chasing power led to the establishment OF
a growing "black Market, which boot
legged prescribed or scarce goods to the
highest bidder.
Soon after the first of the year, COM
modify rationing will probably be extend
ed some and the future of "non-essentials"
is clothed in mystery.
Never before in history has war de-
manded SO much of the nations money, re-
sources, energies and manpower. From an
economic, as we'll as military point of view,
this war is without precedent. 1t is swift
" reaching into every home and directly
touching every life.

Shortly after God had delivered
the Lsraelites from the powerful
armies of Pharaoh, they became
hungry and God gave them mamma
and quail to eat. Then there came
time of thirsting for water and
God supplied them with water.
Each time God saw the need of
the people and supplied the peo-
pie with their need. Moses went
to the Lord in prayer and asked
for help when there was need,
and God answered. When Israel
was weak and not a one of her
men were trained warriors, God
fought for them and destroyed
the army of the Egyptians. When
Israel became stronger and her
men had some training, and were
able to fight, God said to the
Israelites 60 out and fight.
The history surrounding the
above text found in Exodus the
seventeenth chapter is as fol-
lows: Isreal was marching through
the Wilderness of Sin. They were
attacked by people called the
Amalekites. Joshua was given
command of the Israelites and
commanded to fight the Amale-
kites who were blocking the
journey of Gods people. AS the
soldiers of Israel went out to bat
tie, Moses with Aaron and Hur
stationed themselves upon hill
overlooking the battle. Moses had
the famous rod which he had
used as a shepherd, that rod that
had turned to a serpent at Gods
command, that rod which had
been used to divide the Red Sea,
that rod which had been used to
cause the Red Sea to envelope the
army of the Egyptians, that rod
which had struck the rock and
brought forth fresh water for
thirsty Israel. When Israel was
in battle Moses lifted the rod
toward Heaven in prayer. God
honored Moses prayer. God hon
ored the lifting of hands to Him
in prayer. When Moses, because
of fatigue, let his hands down the
battle went against Israel. Aaron
and Hur who stood with Moses,
got a rock as a seat for Moses,
and they held up Moses hands so
! that the battle would go in favor
of Israel.
There is a great lesson for us
today in this old but true hlstorl-
cal story. When hands were lifted
to God all went we'll but when
the hands came down all went
wrong. How we need hands lifted
to God today. Hands lifted to
God for our nation that we may
repent, hands lifted today for our
soldiers that God will watch over
them, hands lifted that God Will
put stop to the agresslveness
of a ruthless enemy who says,
"Our task is over when Christi
anity is stamped from the earth"
| (These are the words quoted from
Hitlers own speech). We need to
lift our hands to God for the
whole world and that sinners
shall repent and come to saliva
ton in the Lord Jesus Christ.
During the World War Number
One, Woodrow Wilson called a
day Of fasting and prayer. This
calling upon Cos Of our nation
was the turning point of that
great war. Shall we not today
be faithful in keeping our hands
lifted to God in prayer even as
Moses did il the time Of long ago?

A Prayer To Remember

Schools have started again and again
every parent is deeply concerned over the
safety of his or her child.
g In this connection, we urge that every
driver memorize this little verse. 1t may
help you to help save life.
They are so small, dear God!
The school is blocks away
Their steps so prone to lag
At bits of color in the street
Make keen the eyes of drivers,
Stay
The grinding wheels of trucks
Spare us from tiny splintered bones,
From flesh, like blossoms,
Crushed upon the stones.

 At the banya I met Kewan a medium-sized native. His greet ing was casual, but he seemed friendly. He invited me to the house, where |. had seen the family of four children, born in as many years. We settled down to my mission as soon as the word hunting was mentioned. He pointed to his gun rack, which aimed several rifles all of small caliber not exceeding a 30-30. He began to relate the experiences of his father and the methods used in killing Al bears. He said his fatfer used the small gun because he always got within close range. He would sneak within a few yards of the big bear and as the bear would raise to his hind feet to get a better view before charging, he would fire a fatal shot, hardly ever shooting more than twice. The conversation soon got a. round to the last hunt of the famous Kewan.

 After the bear had gone he climbed down and after some time revived his chewed partner enough to get him home. Tichon shuddered as he finished the story, and said that he guessed he was lucky in his encounter.
 It was about that time that a bear killed Pete Kewan, a great native hunter. Tichon related enough of the tragedy that I was interested, and decided to get the true story of it from the dead hunters son, bear hunter of the present.
