yet his role in sacred history is
primarily that of an intercessor. He
pleaded with his brothers for Jo-
Seph's life at Dothan; he offered
himself to Jacob as a hostage for
Benjamin's safety; and here he
reached his height as he pleads
with Joseph, the Grand Vizier, for
Benjamin's return to the anxious
and aged father.
We remember, with awe, that
Judah was the progenitor of the
tribe of that name, the most faith
full in Israel and that he was the
ancestor of Jesus. the perfect Inter-
cessor. In Judah's sublime act we
get foregleam of Calvary.
Filial devotion, brotherly affection
and heroic Self-sacrifice breathe
through Judah's plea. Gone were
all considerations of personal safe
ty or advantage: out of the depths
of his being this man, unconsciously
rising to his greatest height, offered
himself as a sacrifice for his
brother.
On the Prayer Front.
Implicit in the story, and of
greatest pertinence today, is the
lesson Of prayer on behalf of others.
Martin Luther once said, What
would not give to be able to pray
before the Lord as Judah here in
terceded for Benjamin; for it is a
perfect model of prayer, nay, of the
strong feeling that must underlie
all prayer"
Most practical of the lessons
teachings is its summons to Chris
tan people today to rally to the
prayer front of the war, where the
victory may really be won. 1t is
surprising and disturbing that our
people everywhere are not now
gathering in groups to pray unitedly
Tor our cause. In Australia and in
South Africa the governments have
appointed a daily time for prayer.
Why should we not be doing like
wise? For God waits to be en-
treated of His people. PRAYER
moves the Hand that moves the
world In every home, perhaps at
meals, there should be daily PRAYER
for all the Allied detectives in this
war. AS Judah did not understand
the love and loyalty behind Joseph s
clark doings, so we may not perceive
plainly the purposes of Providence.
out our prayers may make them
plain.
An Old Question Answered.
In It's deepest meaning, the present
war is an experience in vicarious-
ness. We fight for objectives bevond
our own interest. Significantly, we
call our forces, The United 'FRONT.'.
for we have made our own the cause
OF all the weak and oppressed peo-
pies OF earth. We are out to DESTROY
the powers that spell woe for man
kind.
we recognize mans highest obli-
gatlon, which is fraternal helpful
ness. One brother. Cain, scornfully
cried in denial, Am I my brothers
keeper?" Like a true brother, the
nero OF the present Lesson, proved
that I am my brothers keeper" In
the spirit OF Judah, millions of sons
and brothers have gone to war tc
demonstrate that life is best ex-
pressed in sacrifice and service for
others. They have taken the long
hard road to Calvary and its cross:
they follow in the train of Jesus
Christ. The days Golden Text
gathers into sentence the full
meaning of the Lesson: Hereby
know we love, because He laid down
His life for us: and we ought to Law
down our lives for the brethren"

Vizier's cup had been found, was
required to remain, Judah inter-
ceded eloquently, offering himself
as substitute for the youngest
brother, without whose presence the
aged father, Jacob, could not live.
The story is shot through with
beautiful CLEANS of family affection
and loyalty.
Only those who know the Orient,
and have had personal experience
in its palaces, can fully appreciate
the dramatic setting of this tale.
Joseph, unknown to his brethren,
his dreams fulfilled, carried on in
Segal pomp, concealing, with diff
ficulty, his family affection. He
had. to test out the good faith of
these 10 strong men who had
once sought his life. He was
bursting with concern for his
fathers condition, and with his
desire to see his full blood brother,
Benjamin, the only other son of
Rachel In the back of his mind
were royal plans for the service
of his family. The whole rich
tale of Joseph and his brothers is
given more space in the Bible than
any other story. Modern novelists
have tried to retell it better and
more fully, but have failed. Here
again we perceive that the Bible is
the greatest literature.
A Brothers Plea
Our lesson concentrates upon the
plea of Judah for Benjamin, offer
ing himself in bondage instead. 1t
is high oratory, born of profoundest
feeling, as all real eloquence must
be.
Judah's past was not all noble:
