EVERYBODY LOVES THE SHIP'S MASCOT Every fighting ship of Canada's ever-expanding Navy, seems to have a mascot of some kind. Many have dogs whose pedigree has long been forgotten like the pooch above. Subjected to all sorts of kindhearted rough and tumble treatment from the crew, they very often will never leave the ship when In port.

According bo the com- monly received chronology, Joseph became a slave in Potiphar'i house in 1735 B.C., and suffered Im- prisonment 1725 B.C. Place. Joseph's home was In Hebron, in southern Palestine. He was sold into slavery at Dothan, thirteen miles north of Shechem, which itself was sixty miles from Hebron. The capital of Egypt at this time, where most of Jos- eph's years were spent, was Zoan, in the eastern part of the Nile delta. Joieph Cast Into II.. Pit 23. "And It came to pass, when Joseph was come unto his breth- ren, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him; 24. and they took him, and cast him into the pit: and the pit was empty, there was no water in it." The tank into which Joseph's brethren cast him was apparently one of those huge reservoirs excavated by shepherds in the East, that they may have a supply of water for their flocks in the end of the dry season, when the running waters fall them. Being so narrow st the mouth that they can be cov- ered by a single stone, they gra- dually widen and form s large subterranean room; and the facil- ity they thus afford for the con- finement of prisoners was from the first too obvious not to be commonly taken advantage of. In such a place was Joseph left to die. I lie Plot Against Joieph 26. "And they sat down to eat bread: and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was com- ing from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery and halm and myrrh, going to carry it down to Egypt. 26. And Juduh said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother and conceal his blood? 27. Come, and let us tell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand he upon him; for he is our brother, our flesh. And his brethren hearkened unto him." As these calloused, heart- less men were sitting not far away from the pit, devouring the food brought by the faithful hands of Joseph from the father's home, they saw a band of Ishmaelites coming down upon them, and im- mediately they agreed to profit by their treatment of Joseph, and sell him as a slave to these Egypt- bound men. Jacob Mournt For Joseph 28. "And there passed by Midi- anites, merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up JoHrpli nut of the pit, and sold Josteph to the Ishmiielitcs for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt. 2!). And Hcuhen re- turned unto the pit; and, befvold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he rent his clothes. ,'iO. And he re- turned unto his brethren, and said, The child is not; and I, whither shall I go? 31. And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a h-goat, and dipped the coat in the blood; 82. and they sent the coat of many colors, anil they brought it to their father, and said, This have we found: know now whether it is thy son's coat or not. 33. And he know it, and aid, It is my son's coat; an evil !.-( hath devoured him; is without doubt torn in pieces. 34. And Jacob rent his garments, and put sackcloth upon his loins, and mourned for his son many days. 35. And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him; but he refused to be com- forted; and he said, For I will go down to Sheol to my son mourning. And his father wept for him." Before these brethren left for home, they dipped Joseph's coat, which thsy took from him, into the blood of a newly slain kid, and in showing it to the father told him that this was what they had found, with the hope that the father would be persuaded, as he was, that Joseph had besn slain by a wild beast. Wherever we find unkindness we are almost certain to find untruth. 'Kindness and truth' are wedded in Genesis (24:49; 47:29); they naturally draw to each other everywhere; there is a pre-established harmony between them. The same Is true of their opposites. Jacob's sons, having sold their young brother, made it next to impossible for themselves to speak the truth. They had to concoct a story to account for his disappearance, and it was as audacious and cruel a falsehood as was ever uttered by human lips. Joseph Sol.l Into Egypt 36. "And the Midianites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's, the captain of the guard." Potiphar was lit- erally 'captain of the slaughterers' that is, 'the chief officer of the executioners.' The migration of Israel into Egypt had become necessary for three reasons: (1) That they might not excite the hostility of the Canaanites before they were strong enough to re- sist it. (2) That they might no* adulterate their race and lose their distinctiveness by intermar- riage with the Canaanites. (3) That they might by contact with a highly civilized people receivs an education in arts and a dis- cipline by law and government such as there was little prospect of their receiving In Canaan. The Lord With Joseph Joseph was the unconscious pioneer of this great movement. The young slave filled his posi- tion to the very utmost of his powers and abilities and we are not surprised to learn that 'the Lord was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man.' How could he b prosperous as a slave? The ex- planation is that prosperity is not due to circumstances but to char- acter, and character in turn de- pends upon faithfulness to God. His life soon became evident, for in some way or other his mu- ter observed that Joseph's powers must come from a Divine source. It is one of the finest results of true piety when those around us who may not be of our way of thinking, are enabled to see the reality of our life in our daily work and conduct. U. S. To Call Men With Dependents Brig.-Gen. Lewis B. Hershey of the United States army said re- cently that draft boards would be- gin calling men with dependents before Christmas. The National Selective Service Director reiterated the order in which men with dependents would be called. Single men with "secondary" dependents, such as aged or crip- pled relatives, would be called first, he said. Next would come married men whose wives work, then men with dependent wives, and finally men with wives and children. 1 THIS CURIOUS WORLD By Ferguson IMPORTAfvrr Ol FAR /A,s HUMAN WAS /A.N EARtV ElSkSi_JH F=OR.

Publicity reports state "It saved Hersen's night!" A few news notes of Interest to Peninsula listeners: Dr. E. T. Bonds To the bond of liberty that unites them, the fighting forces which attacked Dieppe hnve add- ed the bond of danger shared, the bond of courage equally ex- pressed, the bond of helpfulness mutually displayed, the bond of partnership in an historic oc- casion, the bond of great service to a great cause. It now remains for the home front to add to these bonds of war by buying more war bonds.

Riding A Bicycle Fifty Years Ago A reader of this nwpanr >i+ gests t,hu.t Instruction! on HOT to Rid* a Bicycle would be useful to many person* at this time. WeH, here U a bit of advice unearthed from a wheelman's magazine at 18911 "The pedal should be preuaed downward not with the heel or the instep, but with the tos ant the ball of the foot, thin siting the ankle free play and producing the full development of the emit muscles of which the good rider is justly proud. In mounting ttw bicycle the gentleman has the left pedal up and slightly in advance of centre. Placing the left foot upon it, and clasping the handle- bars, he throws his weight upon the left foot, awing* the right leg easily over the rear wheeJ and settles Into the saddle. "In dismounting he checks the motion by letting the pedal on Lae upstroke lift hi* weight; at the same time his right leg describes a graceful axe above tbe> roar wheel and comes to rest on th ground at the left. "A lady must, of course, mount in different fashion. Stepping through the drop frame and mak- ing sure that her skirts are nice!/ draped about her anklet on either side, she lifts herself into Ch sad- dle by pushing down on UM left pedal, in the same effort atartinc the bicycle In motion." Sayi Mrs. William Brady, Pardee, Ontario: "We have no more use for harsh cathartics! When we found out about ALL BRAN we knew we'd never go back to pills or pow- ders any more. KELLOGG'S ALL- BRAN is certainly the 'Better Way'l" Why don't you buy KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN? Try ALL-BRAN'S "Better Way" to correct the L of constipation due to lack of ttio right kind of "bulk" in your diet. But remember, ALL-BRAN doesn't work like cathartics. It takes time. Get ALL-BRAN at your grocer's; in two convenient sue packages, or ask for the individual serving pack- age at restaurants.
