rj CÜNDAy SCHOOI 4sF-- --- -i-------- m wm m LESSON: Lsson XL I TAB BROTHERLY LOVE OF JUDAH (Genesis 42: 1--45: 15.) printed Tex*--Genesis 44: 18--34. Golden Text--Let love of the brethren brethren continue. Hebrews 13: 1. The Lesson In Its Setting Time:--The events in this lesson occurred during the seven years of famine, i.e., B.C .1716--B.G. 1710. Place:--The family of Jacob was probably residing near Beer-sheba in Southern Palestine; Joseph was living living in the capital of Egypt, Zoan, in toe eastern part of the' Nile Delta. The Plan of the Lesson Subject:--The Perfect Purposes of God and His Divine Overruling to Accomplish Them. "Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh, my lord, let thy servant, servant, I pray thee speak a word in my lord's ears, and let thine anger burn Against thy servant; for thou art even as Pharaoh." -- Judah first acknowledges the absolute supremacy of the one to whom he is speaking. "My lord asked his servants, say- £ , Have ye a father, or a brother ? 4 we said unto my lord, 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."-- Almost every word here is bound to appeal to the heart of Joseph--"a father, an old man," "a child of his old age, a little one," "his brother is dead," "he alone is left," "his mother," "his father loveth him." "And thou saidst unto thy servants, servants, Bring him down unto me, that I.may set mine eyes upon him. And we said unto my lord, The lad cannot cannot leave his father : for if he should leave his father, his father would Jie. And thou saidst unto thy servants, servants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more. And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, We told him the words of my lord. And our father said, Go again> buy us a little food. And we said, We cannot go down; if our youngest brother he with us, then will we go down; for we may not see toe man's face, except our youngest brother be with us."--Though Judah Is too burdened and his heart torn with too great an anguish to think Of cleverness, yet he could never have spoken more movingly to the one before whom he stood if he had thought out his speech for weeks before, before, because he is simply telling the one who now demands that Benjamin remain in Egypt that all of this tragedy and trouble came about because because the one before whom he was speaking demanded that Benjamin be brought down into Egypt against the strong wishes of the boy's father. "And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons. And the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn in pieces; and I have not seen him since. And if ye take this one also from me, and harm befall him, ye will bring, down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol. Now therefore therefore when I come to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us ; seeing tha.t his life is bound up in the | lad's life; it will come to pass, when he seeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die; and thy servants will bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to S'heol."--Let the lord before before whom he speaks realize that to go back to Canaan without this youngest son will bring the old father prematurely in sorrow to the grave. Here Judah seems to appeal to the deepest emotions of the human heart, love for an aged parent, and a regard for ultimate consequences. "For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then shall I bear the blame to my father for ever. Now therefore, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren. For how shall I go up to my iather, if the lad be not with me? lest I see the evil that shall come on my father."--The whole argument is powerfully concluded by Judah's offering offering to take Benjamin's place. This appeal was not simply a succession of words superficially expressed, but the profoundest confessions of a broken heart are here proved. Judah would rather live the rest of his days in Egyptian slavery than to see his father die with a broken heart when he knew that Benjamin would not come home again. The sublime heroism heroism of his noble act of self-sacrifice on the part of Judah would be impossible impossible to over-estimate. The self- forgetful magnanimity of such an action has never been eclipsed and seldom rivalled. After words so exquisitely beautiful, and profoundly prophetic, it was impossible for; Joseph to doubt that a " complete change had passed upon his brethren and in particular, upon Judah, since the day when he had eloquently urged urged and -they had wickedly consented to sell their brother Joseph, into Egypt. x "Christ is our surety. He makes himself one with us (Heb. 2: 11). He sprang from Judah (Heb. 7: 14). He was accepted as our substitute, was bound, abused, and crucified. He bore the curse for us (Gal, 3: 13). Christ died for us who were below him. Furthermore, Christ pleads for us before the throne of the Father (Heb. 7: 25). The Character of Judah Judah's name had been given to him at his birth amid circumstances of hope on the part of his mother, for Judah means "praise." His early youth did not, however, afford any proof whatever that he was living up to his splendid name. But in these later chapters, he comes to the fore with great force of character, and the whole tone of his exquisite appeal appeal in behalf, of Benjamin shows that he is now living up to his name. The pressure of poverty, the stings of conscience, the deepening of family love, the checking of self- confidence, are a few of the ways in which Judah was brought into the line of true life and enabled to take the lead in these family troubles and sorrows (Heb. 12: 11). Martin has said that he would have given anything if he could pray to G"4 , T -- ■ --ved to Joseph. FARM NOTES Conducted by PROFESSOR HENRY Ü. BELL With the Co-Operation of the Various Departments of the Ontario Agricultural College. J. F. G-. of Halton Co., asks the following following questions: Question -- "Where can package bees and equipment he secured?" Answer -- Package bees may be secured secured from F. W. Jones and Son, of Guelph, Ontario; W. A. Chrysler & Son, Chatham, Ontario; H. M. Clu- bine and Company, Brantford, Ontario tyi well as • other distributors within the province. They may also be secured secured from one of the many package producers in the Southern States. ' Question -- "Is it necesary to secure secure a, permit to move or sell bees?"

Just the other night in the Brown Derby restaurant a group got to discussing who is the most talked- of man in pictures just and the arguments arguments grew so vehement, an innocent by-stander might suspect that a riot was being planned. Instead, it was just a gener.l tossing of verbal bouquets. bouquets. Several people think that Robert Montgomery is the man of the hour. He recently pepped up his somewhat wilting career by jumping from the roles of society playboys to that of a maniac killer: "Night Must Fall." Other nominations for the man of the hour were David Selznick, because lie produced "A Star Is Born," and Darryl Darryl Z.annuck because he has made his pictures stand for a guarantee of hilarious hilarious entertainment. Not since the days of the Talmadge sisters long ago, have film fans had the fun of watching sisters climb to respective talents of Olivia de Haviland and Joan Fontaine. They are sisters, you know. And although although Olivia has a big start, appearing in four Warner Brothers Brothers pictures before before Joan went to work at RKO, there are many who think that by this time fame as screen rivals. rivals. Now everyone is arguing about the next year, Joan will be well In the lead, Mary Livingstone who has played such a big part in the success of the Jack Benny radio programs, is thinking thinking very seriously of taking part in a Paramount picture starring Buddy Rogers and Shirley Ross. It is a serious serious decision, because it entails having having an operation on her nose and she does not like hospitals or ether or the knives or inactivity or even breathing through her mouth.

Answer -- Date of seeding tests with reference to buckwheat have been investigated fçr five years by the Field Husbandry Department, of Ontario Agricultural College, including including earliest plantings May 2nd, to as late as July 18th. Highest yields of Silver Hull buckwheat were obtained obtained at the average date of May 16th, with an average yield of 29.0 bushels per acre. The same variety planted on July 4th yielded only 7.0 bushels per acre. The average yield of leading varieties varieties tends to diminish , greatly from the middle of May to early July. , B-- Ü Music In A Factory A recently issued report of the Medical Research Council of the British Industrial Research Council of the British Industrial Research Board on "Fatigue in Repetitive Work" records that experiments showed that gramophone music provided provided an antidote to. boredom in the modem factory and increased output. This idea has been carried beyond the experimental stage in Birmingham, Birmingham, where, for two and a half years, a leading firm has provided three programs programs of half an hour each day, the music being relayed to every department. department. It was recognized that factory work is being done Under ever- increasing pressure, and music was introduced with a five-day week and two complete pauses, one in the morning and the .other in the afternoon, afternoon, when everyone and everything stopped for 10 minutes and a cup of tea could be taken. The intervals were just when work was beginning to pall. "We have light, rhythmic music, including dance tunes, and the workers workers sing and whistle the accompaniments," accompaniments," said a representative of the firm. "There is no doubt it helps enormously, and the executive and staff find relief front it as much as the manual workers. Since we made these innovations there has been an immense drop in oiir sickness percentage. percentage. We get as big an output with a five-day week as with five and a half days; the two days' break refreshes refreshes the people completely." Story Of A Robin That birds have a warm attachment attachment for each other is well known to even casual observers of the habits and actions of our feathered songsters. songsters. But here is a story, confirmed by reliable eye-witnesses, which is difficult to account for except on the assumption that the hearts of these little creatures are as sensitive to bereavement as are the most affectionate affectionate of human beings. A few days ago, on one of the trees opposite the post office building, customs customs . offi dials noticed through the window a robin, hanging suspended, dead, from a piece of string attached to a branch. Evidently the bad been perching on the branch w) t became entangled and in its efforts to extricate itself had looped the string around its neck. The pitiful little object naturally attracted the official's attention on subsequent days, when they witnessed witnessed a touching sequel. Another robin was seen to return, again and again, to the branch above its dead mate, peek frantically at the string,' and chirp as if calling for assistance. At night it was seen to remain perched on the branch, as if keeping vigil. This went on for two or three days and nights. Then apparently it disappeared; it was no longer heard or seen on the branches. But closer inspection revealed revealed the mourner's little body on the ground. It was lying dead, almost directly under the suspended 'yo: f its mate! v ~ Relic of the Past Flying lizards are found in Malaya. The wings of these creatures consist of the outward extension of the ribs covered with «kin. When at rest they are able to bring the skin-covered rib to their side, but extend them when they leap from one perch to another. These wings would he more corectly described as gliders, for they spread out almost like the wings of a small airplane, supporting the lizard as it travels through the air. The tüatara of New Zealand, which is called 'the living fossil'" is allied ! to the lizard. Naturalists say it is the sole living representative of the anc- inet reptiles which roamed over the ; earth millions of years ago. It still retains traces of the third eye which j was a feature of some of the terrible monsters of the past.
