GOLDEN TEXT- The Lord shall pro■erve thee from all evil; he ahall preserve thy ooul—F». 121:7. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC - from Slave to Primo Minister. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPlC—Joeeph and the Migration to Egypt. Tlie seed promised Abruhuiu, through which the world was to be blessed, was fulfilled in the giving of Issue. Os Isuuc's two sons, Jucob, the younger, wits chosen. To Jucob wuS given twelve sous. They became the heads of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Joseph, u son of Kuchel, Jucoba beloved wife, wits especially loved by his father. Because of the partiality shown by Jacob, Joseph's brethren hated him. This hulred wus funned Into Halite by bls making known to bls brethren certain dreams. Therefore, when his father sent him to Inquire after the welfare of bl* brethren, they sold him a slave to Mldianlte merchantmen who In turn sold him to the Egyptians. Under u false charge, made by Potlphur's wicked wife, he was cast into prison. Through the interpretation of u dream of one of Pharaoh's servants, and later Pharaoh's dream, Joseph was providentially exulted to be Prime Minister of Egypt He put on a great conservation scheme, which provided against the bitter famine which came upon ull that country. This sojourn in Egypt taught Israel In a new way to trust God, welded them into a nation, transformed them from a nomadic to a settled life, and gave them acquaintance with the material advancement of their time. I. Joseph Presents His Father and Five Brethren to Pharaoh (Gen. 47:1-0). 1. Pharaoh's Invitation (Gen. 45:1019). Jacob and his sons were in Egypt by Pharaoh's Invitation. Joseph went out to the land of Goshen to meet them. Though now occupying an exulted position, Joseph was not ashamed of his father even though he was a plain country man. 2. Joseph's Tact (vv. 1,2; cf. 46:3084). (1) In introducing ills father and brethren in a personal way, thus capitalizing his own Influence In favor of his kin. Paraoh had higli regard for Joseph; therefore would do much for them for Joseph's sake. God does much for us for Jesus' sake. (2) In having his father and brethren come to Goshen (Gen. 45:10). Nlnce possession is "nine points of the law," they were already in Goshen before asking Pharaoh for permission to occupy It (v. 4). (3) la coaching his brethren (Gen. 40:34). He taught them beforehand what to say, because he knew how awkward they would be in the presence of the great king. Our Joseph, Jesus Christ, teaches us how to pray and what to pray for. (4) In choosing Ave, not all (v. 2). In all probability he chose the the who would make the best appearance. He knew the great importance of first impressions 8. Their Request to Pharaoh (vv. 3,4). Joseph anticipated Pharaoh's questions and put the proper words into their months to use in making their desires known to Pharaoh: "le-t thy servants dwell In Goshen." 4. Pharaoh's Response (vv. 5,6). (1) His gracious offer. They were to enjoy the best of the land accord Ing to their choice. He dealt with them very liberally. (2) Positions of trust offered to capable men among them. He knew bow capable Joseph was and surmised that some of his brethren might he likewise gifted. This gracious offer was because they were related to Joseph. 11, Jacob Blessing Pharaoh (vv. 7-10). , Though Pharaoh was the great king and Jacob now a supplicant at bls feet receiving natural blessings, yet morally Jacob was above Pharaoh and therefore conferred blessings upon him. I This humble saint of God la higher In dignity than earth's greatest king. Jacob discloses bls own estimate of the earthly life of the believer. He calls It a pilgrimage of short duration. 111. Joseph Nourishes His Father and Brethren (vv. 11, 12). 1. He placed them In the beet of Iles land, according as Pharaoh had f commanded (v. 11). 2 He nourished them (v. 12). Blare there was no bread In all the land to Im obtained except as dispensed by Joseph, he distributer) to them aecordlng to their needs. Our Joseph, Jesus Christ, supplies all our needs according to his riches In glory. Need of Prayer.

OFFERS CUP TO 1 PRIZE LITTER . 11. P. Schmitt To Present Cup To Winner Os Ton ; Litter Contest That hog lera of Adams county aro determined to stay in the game in spite of the somewhat depressing 'prices being received for hogs in ad • dltlon are going to try again for hop ' ors in the Hoosier Ton Litter c ontest • Is shown in the fad that several have* already enrolled in the contest. AL . though this county ended quite a distance down the scale last year as com- ! pared with other counties of Indiana ; yet when it Is considered that out of , ninety-five ton litters produced in the > state during the two years of the con ‘ test Adams county has produced five, the record does not appear so discouraging. Those in charge l aro hoping enough farmers may become interestj ed to such an extent that Adams conn ly may lead the state this year. H. P. Schmitt, proprietor of the Schmitt Meat Market, has offered a cup to the heaviest litter in the coun I ty this year, the c up to remain in the possession of the farmer until the con | e lusion of the contest in 1925, when it shall pass to the new winner. The cup shall he the permanent posses ; sion of the farmer when he shall win j the county contest during two consecutive years. In addition. Mr. Schmitt agrees to buy th«» winning litter at the- conclusion of the contest, if the feeder of the hog so desires, giving one dollar per hundred above market price. No prize is awarded unless the litter weighs one ton or moi*. This is considered a liberal offer on the part of Mr. Schmitt and It is thought | a large number of farmers will com- . pete for the prize. According to the rules of the conj test a farmer may enter as many lit 1 ters as he desires, feed them In anyway he cares and may use breeding in the contest must be made before February 15th. Further information may be obtained from .Mr. Schmitt or at the county agent's office. — .. — , Q ONLY ONE The Record in Decatur Is a Unique One. If the reader has a "bad back” ot any kidney ills and is looking tor an effective kidney medicine, better de i pend on the remedy endorsed by peo pie you know. Doan's Pills have given great satisfaction in such cases. Decatur citizens testify to this. Here ' is a case of it: Ask your neighbor! Mrs. E. A. Mann. 1003 W. Monroe i street, says: "I know the value of I Doan Pills and am glad to recommend them to anyone having kidney complaint. I used them wh«’n my kidneys were out of order and 1 had severe backaches that made It hard er for me to do my work. I often had nervous headaches and my kid nevs acted irregularly. I used I man's Pills from the Holthouse Drug Co. ' und they proved to be Just what I needed. Doan's were not long in giving me relief from the back ache and . kidney complaint." Price 60c. at all dealers. Don't slinplv ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Pills—the' same that Mrs. Mann had. Foster-Milburn Co.. Mfrs.. Buffalo. N. Y.
