restoration ol fellowship and thi- showing of kindness brought the sto ry of joseph and hi brethren to a happy ending under the good hand of cod the story which began with tragedy la brought to a conclusion f blessing following th earnest plea of ju lian the heart of joseph could no longer withhold itself from the full expression of affection and devotion to hla family i lava overcoats fear w ml joseph tenderly shielded the fern uy troubl from tha eyes and ears of stringers by sending out the egyptians it was tha bret step ol consideration which paved the i for reconciliation how often just the opposite la done airing family affaire before tha world ana humul atlng those who may be in the wrcng thus making it difficult for them to admit their guilt- then too this was a moment too tinder and delicsta to be seen by outsiders the taara of a strong man like joseph mean a deep movement of spirit a solemn and often a s crcd moment it should also be noted that the brothers were afraid and well they might be because of their sin against joseph after almost jo yesrs these unrepentant men found themselves face to fece with the one whom they had supposed they had disposed of and they knew then in had found them out it ll docs sooner or later but inevitably how greet and noble was the lor giving love of joseph an cxamplc to us especially appropriate and needed in a world of hate and bit temess n grace overrules 81s w t8 the guilt of these nen wss none the less and joseph could not re move it but he encouraged them by showing how god had used their evil devices to work out his ovn good pleasure he can make the wtoth of man to praise him ps 7610 it is wurth stressing again that in the very hour when the prospects for josephs future usefulness seemed ruined god was opening the door to tho greatest experiences of his life and was preparing him to serve the thousands whose uvea were saved by his wisdom and abil ity in the years of famine nothing is mora important in the life of a child of god than to bt yielded to his will unmoved by cir cumstances abiding his time re sponding to his guidance whether 11 be by the opening or closing ol doors prosperity or adversity and herein is the marvel of it all even sin may be overruled by goda graci for hla own glory that doca noi invite anyone to sin that grace mu abound rom 81 2 but it doci- offer encouragement to the one who has fallen that god can re deem tho years that tho locust havi eaten joel 223 our lesson also sets us an exam pie of how true forgiveness acts something wc need so often when forgiveness is asked or granted there is an i can forgive but 1 cant forget ottltudc which meant that while hostilities hovo ceased at icobt temporarily there is no nii friendship or the disposition to brum kindness is there any real forgive ncss at oil in such an attitude ol heart and mindt we fear not iii kindness provldei the best w 01s 4711 12 it might have been ci 411 to bunu food and a kind greeting with tin brothers to their own land but lovt docs not seek the minimum cxprts sion of its feeling it asks not him little but how much can i give in do bringing his uged father una brothers into tho land of plenty wu not enough joseph also gave t them tho best of the land 4711 his thoughtful consideration in send lng for his father gen 4057 w part of the same piece of kindness joseph puts to shame tho moderr hardboiled attitude toward needy and aged members of tho family in their eagor and relontloss pur suit of fame or riches many ignort or tramplo upon the members ol their own families often they art ashamed of the broken bodies the humble apparel tho broken or un educated speech of their parents thoy fear lest thoir nowfound friends in the circlo of wealth and supposed position will think them strongo or ridiculous god pity tin man or woman who is ashamod of a humble or aged father and mother joseph who really had an exalted edsitlon gained by merit and by the

study or tha discussion of current events possibly in the light of 1 prophecy these are good but it i is of brat importance that chris tians be informed regarding doc trine we and in this scripture the glori ous transformation of life which comes to the ona who takes christ as saviour as wa note the seven results of gods justifying grace 1 pcac v 1 tho human heart craves spiritual peace and

v 10 the death of christ which justified man has accepted by faith brought recon ciliation atonement had been made for sin and tho one whq died is alive again a living saviour 7 joy v ii and why nott such a revelation of what our re- demptlon includes should make ev ery believer in christ rejoice in god the one who is tho slnnors judge is the believers joyl that is the glorious transformation
