There was no other way to account for the bloody coat. He put on sackcloth and TEdus.. ed to be comforted. For years these brothers had to witness their taut- er's sorrow. It was a, bitter medi- cine, but it helped to make them more worthy. Seat the coat. By a, servant. And they brought it to their' father; and said. All this was 'poue and said through the servant whom they had sent. This have we found. Ar.. most every sin requires lying to be; added to it. The sons were guilty of (1) cruelty, (2) cowardice, (3) falseho‘od, (4) insolence. reason must be assigned for the noir-" appearance of his beloved son.

F Sold _Jbseph for twen-, ty pieces of silver. The money Was? probably in rings or brerseg (Shekels) and silver is always mentioned in the records of that early 1dtt before gold, on account of its rarity.

Reuben had planned to rescue Joseph, and send him home safely, as soon as his tdother'imad left him.“ He probably went"lnt0""another part of the field to attend to the, sheep, and to draw the rest' aWay’from the pit. When he returned he found his brother gone. Amrrhe ‘rent his clothes. The Oriental Sign of ghee? And they took Jobepti's coat; I Mc. They knew that they ‘must' again meet their father, and to him some The brothers were eating their meal with Joseph not far away in the pit. They lifted up their eyes and look- ed, and behold, a travelling .company of Ishmaelites came tram Giie'att with their camels, bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going to carry ity down to Egypt. EI The first savage plan to kill Jos- eph outright was frustrated by Beu- ben. Cast him into" this pit. Thou- sands of such cisterns still exist in upper Galilee, excavated, out of the solid rock, or built of stones and plas- tered, to hold rain water in that dry climate. The pit was empty. In such a place he was left to tre-under the ground, sinking in the mire, his flesh creeping at the touch of unseen slimy creatures, in darkness, alone. _ Then there passed by Midianites. merchantmen. The particular part Here Jacob had purchased a parcel ot ground and dug a. well. When Joseph reached Shechem. he found that his shepherd brothers had gone on to Dothan, about 312 miles further on to the north. T Some time after Joseph had told his dreams they took their flocks 2mg herds to Shechem, 50 miles north of Hebron, the home estate. They very obviously shadow forth Joseph as having kingly ”authority over his father, mother and brethren. Again Joseph dreamed a still more startling dream, that eleven stars, re.. presenting his eleven brothers, and that the sun and moon, his father and mother, came and bowed down before him. The double dream indicates the certainty. of the fulfilment. _ And he told it to his brethren. The bowing of their sheaves betore his was a token that they were to acknow- ledge him as their superior, as actu- ally happened years afterward in Egypt. _ [ N Jacob’s unwise gift marked Joseph as the prospective head ot the clan, instead» of. Reuben, the eldest son. He inherited and combined Abraham's dignity and capacity, Isaac's purity, and power of self-devotion,, Jacob's cleverness, and his mother's beauty and management. Joseph dreamed that his sheaf had stpod proudly upright in the field, while his brothers' sheaves came around it, humbly bowing down to the ground. Another cause of his brothers' hatred was his father's gift of the coat of many, colors. In the tomb at Ben; Hassan Semitic visitors are seen dressed, in' robes of white, red, and blue, apparently made of a patchwork of separate small pieces. The brothers were jinuiirriant at Joseph and "hated him" as a. tale- bearer. . Joseph was feeding the flock with his brethren. In some way Joseph learned. of their misconduct towards others, or toward their father, idle- ness, dishonesty or crime, we know not what. And either as his father's messenger, or as overseer, he report- ed the facts to his father., Joseph's training as a, boy in the home tor the next ten' years of his life till he was a lusty and trusty boy 0t 17. . Joseph himself was in great dan- ger of being spoiled by his father's petting. He was saved by his natur- ally good disposition and his brothers' oppbsnion. But he was also in danger of yielding to the surrounding influ- ences of his older brothers. Out of their father's sight they shook off any little restraint which his presence may have inspired. Esbeciallrdo the worst elements of depraved character ap- pear in their treatment of their younger brother Joseph. _ The Favorite Son Joseph was born in Mesopotamia in the vicinity ot Haran. He was the tsoh of Rachel, the eleventh son of Ja- cob, and the elder o.t her two boys. Jacob went on and settled in Heb- -T021, 20 miles south ot Jerusalem. Here he lived as a Chieftain with his 12 sons, and here was the gathering place of his herds of camels “and sheep and goats under the care of his sons, who at times would lead them to distant places in search ot the best pastures open to all shepherds. Place-At or near Hebron, the home ot Jacob, twenty miles south of Jerusalem. Shechem, in Samaria, was fifty miles north of Hebron. Dothan, fifteen miles north of Shee- hem.

The Lesson in its Setting Time-Joseph was 17 years old when he was carried away from Pal- estine into Egypt. According to Professor Beecher this date was about 1736 B.C. Jacob was 109 years old at that time. . LESSON x.--Deoember lst PAGE SIX The S. S. Lesson PRICES: Main Floor 15c and 20c. Balcony "15c and 25c.

The Canadian claims are largely limited to the first class mentioned. The claims relate to loss 'of life as well as property. A t11rth-. er list is also to be made covering claims for damages arising out of breaches pt contracts with neutrals. which were declared illegal because the neutrals making the claims be- ing on the statutory list of persons in neutral countries,commonly called the black list. All persons having claim should file them without delay. The making of this.list does not imply an undertaking on the part of the Gov- ernment to put forward the claims at the Peace Conference or any assur- ance that if they are put forward the claims at the Peace Conference or any assurance that if they are put forward they will be paid. But the 1istyshould be completed without de- lay so as to enable the Government to make a demand if an occasion should arrive. Instructions showing the method of filing claims and the proof to be forwarded may be ob- tained from Thomas Mulvey, Under Secretary of State, the officer ap-) pointed by Order in Council to pre- pare, examine and report upon the claims. After a, two days' conference at Ot- tawa of live stock men and meat packers five resolutions designed to incnease production were placed be- fore" Sir Thomas White, acting prime minister. Representations were also made to the Government to do some- thing towards removing the antagon- ism between producer and packer be- cause of the impression that the pack- er has the power to control prices.

Stamps of lower denomin- ation to be known as thrift stamps will be on sale. When sixteen of them have been accumulated they can be exchanged for a war savings stamp worth, five dollars at the end of the period. The plan is expected to work out to the great advantage, of both the people and the nation. The Government will become the repository of the nation's savings up to a total of $50,000,000. Savings will be placed with the Government by means of the purchase ot war sav- ings stamps. The stamps are to be redeemable in January, 1924. They are to be sold by the Government at a price which works out to an in- terest rate of somewhat better than 4% per cent. compounded semi-an- nually, or five percent. simple inter- est if computed at the end of the per- iod. Thus in December, 1918, or Jan- uary, 1919, a five-dollar war savings stamp may be bought for four dol- lars.
