10 Then Judah came near unto
him, and said, Oh, my lord, let thy
servant, | pray thee. speak a word
in my lords ears, and let not thine
anger burn against thy servant ;
for thou art even as Pharaoh. 10
My lord asked his servants, say
ing, Have we a father, or a broth

We have a father, an old man,
and a child of his old age, a little
one; and his brother is dead, and
he alone is left Of his mother; and
his father loveth him. Al And thou
saidst unto thy servants, Bring

JUDAH: AN EXAMPLE OF
SELF-SACRIFICE

Genesis ALA - The famine
which followed the seven plentous
years was most disastrous. And
it affected not only the valley of
the Nile but adjacent countries as
we'll II was, therefore, keenly in
the land Of Canaan. Jacob and his
sons were compelled to look else
where for food. So during the End
year of the famine ten Of Jacobs
sons went down to Egypt to buy
grain. Their appearance before
Joseph and TIE events Intervening
he revealed himself to them are of
thrilling interest. At first he
treated them roughly, evoking
Reuh"n's surmise that the hour of
retribution had come. The reten-
ton of Simeon in Egypt as a
guarantee that Benjamin should be
brought on the next trip appeared
very harsh measure. but to us
Joseph's reason is. perfectly clear
The grief of Jacob at the turn
Of events was, indeed affecting;
Joseph and Simeon were gone and
now seemingly the snare was set
for Benjamin. For weeks and per-
haps months he held out against
the demand of the unknown Egypt
ian ruler. Finally, however, goad-
cd by the femme to desperation
and persuaded by the guarantee of
Judah, he again sent his sons in
GLIDING even Benjamin, the young
est, to the land of Egypt.
Upon their arrival they were
entertained nv Joseph. Afterward
they started on their return home,
each mans money, as on the first
trip, having been placed in his
sack, and the costly cup of Joseph
being placed in Benjamin's sack,
and the costly cup of Joseph being
placed in Benjamin's sack. Not
far from the city they were over
taken and charged with robbery
of the princely cup. At once the
innocent pilgrims declared that if
the charge were true the thief
should die and the others would
become bondmen. When the sacks
were opened, the cup was found
in Benjamin's sack!
With rent clothes and heavy
hearts they returned to the city
for what fate they KIN W not.
When they appeared again before
Joseph he was able at first to as

straws in the path Of the storm
now to arise. And think of the
entertainment oil these brothers
in the palace, of their fair pur-
chase to meet the need at home,
of their early start with glad
hearts on the return journey, of
their overtaking and arraignment
BY Jeseph's steward, of the find
ing of the cup in Benjamin's sack,
of the utter CONSERVATION and be-
wilderment of the company, of
their immediate return to the pal
ace, and Of facing their royal &C
cuser! What must have been their
anguish of soul! Yet is not gold
tried by the fire? And where else
can self sacrifice shine except in
some furnace of affliction?
3. A Sublime Brotherliness. And
now PROSTATE Judah exhibits a
character which the sale of Joseph
to the Ishmaelites has grown in
heart since that regretable day.
Here he falls and pleads for Ben
jamin who, for all he knew, was
guilty of the apparent crime laid
against him. Judah and the others
could when overtaken, have slain
Benjamin for theft or deserted
him to his fate in Egypt. On the
contrary sec how they came back,
an unhroken circle to face their
offended lord. See the humility,
the helplessness, the confession of
that old iniquity that had long
haunted them. Hear sobbing Jr-
dab. standing honestly by his agree
ment and aged father. for his
youngest brother, for his other
brethen, offering himself as bond
man in their stead! What pathos
there was in his intercession; and
yet it was inteipenetrated with
brotherliness like a dark room shot
through with shafts of light.
A, A Sublime Efficiency. Is self
sacrifice without effect? Can the
ministry of intercession be unavail
ing? Follow the story little fur
Their. In a moment Joseph's heart
burst with compassion for his
brethren. He now knew that the
stony hearts which sent him into
servitude had been changed. He
had heard Of his fathers unceasing
sorrow for him during these years
He saw before him his own moth
er's son, conscious of innocence but
rent with anguish under the charge
of crime. He felt upon his heart
strings the hot ysarning Of peni-

unheralded, dweller in narrow
circle and destined for a grave I'M
marked, can yet exhibit this royal
trait which will outshine the stars
and outlast the ages. The little
things of life - the daily pin
pricks endured, the smoothing OF
the choppy waves of fret and pas
sion, the gentle eye and smile OF
love and tear Of sympathy, the
turn of the hand to the thousand
tiny acts of kindness one never
i thinks of recalling, the thought
full foot alert and jealous on the
unannounced and unrecorded err
rand Of mercy, the steady heart
beat of helpfulness unflagging and
unboasting--these are the things
which pave the way for this crown
ing virtue in every life. Once
in a while. indeed. as here, there
may be opportunity in great sa-
CRITICAL act to evoke honest and
unexpected praise, but with most
of us the art of selfgiving must
express itself in "'the little unre-
mcmbered acts of love-"
Gold in The Golden Text
Hereby know we love, because
he laid down his life for US; and
we ought to lay down our lives for
the brethren John 3:16.
1t was love that brought Jesus
from heaven to earth to give his
life a ransom for many. No other
motive could inspire the highest
act Of God. From no other foun-
tain could flow such streams OF
mercy to man.
Think of God in helpless infancy
at Bethlehem, under ferocious at
/ tack in the wilderness; striving
continually with dull disciples ana
( fanatical foes; dying horribly at
last under tempest Of human
hate; and pitifully laid away in
borrowed tomb.
Such a life and such death can
but unveil love in its perfection
and beauty before our eyes. Here
ny know we lovew
And if we know and show such
love, we too, like our Lord, ought
for our brethren to lay down our
lives in selfless service or, II need
be, in supreme sacrifice.
