One of the tragic things about sin I that a u eked act does not stand Jone but leads into another sin to over the first. In the case of loseph's brethren, their sin against im was covered by deceit They led to the father and maintained hat lie for years, even though they aw that their aged father was rukenhearted. How callous sin nakes the heart of a man! Yet the very fact that they lied o cover their sin indicates that they rere ashamed to admit that they ad fallen so low. James Strahan tell says: "Evil never dares to be incere It always borrows the colin and wears the garb of inno ence. It has a whole lifetime of lard labor in keeping up appearluces. Hypocrisy is the tribute wh.ch all bad men have to pay to the ideal of goodness.” 111. God Overrates Evil (er Good (v 36). It was God's plan that Joseph should come to his greatest usefulness ui his place of authority in Egypt, so He directed the sale of the young slave into the home of Potiphar, a leading officer of Pharaoh. The story of Joseph's life in Pctiphar's house is one of unusual interest Faithfulness to duty, loyalty to God and truth led to shifting experiences of imprisonment and of favor, but ultimately be eame out into the place of leadership in the government of Egypt In this place God marvelously blessed and used him. Since the mattar of the relation of men to government is so much before us these days, ft will be well to note that Scripture bolds a very exalted view of th* public servant. Paul says we are to "be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God” (Rom. H l). The Bible clearly teaches that every governmental agency and every puMie servant, from the policeman on the beat to the President in the White House, is only per nutted to exercise authority over his fellowmen because God has ordsined that there should be such gwernment Clear ft is that every nght-thtaking official of state and nation should be humble, teachable ducreet. and wise in the exercise of his power, and God-fearing in the d 'charge ot his responsibility. Our lesson provides unusual op frtunity for the leachii.g of piuper UmUy relationships, the right at-t-tude toward government, as wei. as tie biessad assurance and can«r<e which we may nave who «*• intrusted our hves Into the Mads of God.

Joseph Sold Into Egypt, Genesis ' 37:23-36 for Sunday. September 13. ■ Joseph, a favorite of his father , Jacob, of whom his hrdthern were jealous, was smt by hts father to visit his brothers who were tending Jacdb's sheep. v. 23. "And it came to pass, when Joseph was come unto hie i brethren, that they stripped Joseph of his coat, the coat of many colors that was on him." This coat was the distinguishing mark of superiority which was the sign of their father's special favor. Jealousy was at the basts of this action. Jealousy blinds eyes and per verts sound judgment. v. 21. "And they took him and cast Klin Into a pit; and the pit was empty, there was no waler in . it.” This pit was Joseph's concen-, tration caftip where he would like ly starve to death If not rescued. Society by pressure pula unfortunates Into pits of poverty, discouragement, and suffering. v. 25. "And they sat down to eat bread; and they lifted up their eyes and looked, and. beheld a company of Ixhmaelltes came from Gilead, with their camels bearing spicery and balm and myrrh, going ’ to carry it down to Egypt.” Man-1 kind has always been dependent i cn others, necessitating traders who could be induced to make bad | bargains, If not absolutely honest.: v. 26. "And Judah said unto his 1 brethren. WKkt profit is It if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?" Here is revealed murder In the hearts of Joseph's brethren. This was a family of tricks out of which little good could come. God had to use a program of suffering to effect the necessary cleansing v. 27. "Come let us sell him to the Ishmaelltes. and let not our hand be upon him; for he Is our brother and our flesh; and his brethren were content." Men sell out and are sold for the sake of making good bargains; however, note, that the spirit of brotherhood still exists; in thCT fact there is hopof a better day. v. 28. "Then there passed by Midianites. merchantmen; and, they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit and sold Joseph to the Ishmaeiites for twenty pieces ot silver; and they brought Joseph into Egypt." Note that there are two compaines of traders, likely competitors In the larger company of merchantmen. Competition often drives hard bargains, It appeared that the brothers had now disposed of their taunting brother, but later they discovered that In his ordeal Joseph was promoted to be a great ruler. v. 29. 30. "And Reuben ieturned to the pit; and, behold. Joseph was not in the |T7t; and lie rent hlx clothes. And he returned to his brethren and said. The child is not, and I, whither shall I go?" Evidently Rub- n'« mind was on Joseph, for be went to the pit the first thing on his return. Evil doing has away of hautiug the guilty party In whom there is a wish that in some way that evil might be eradicated. v. 31. 32. "And they took Joseph's cost, and killed a kid of the guate, and dipped the coat in the blood; and they sent the coat of many colors, and they brought it to their father; and sai.l. This have we found; know now whether ft be thy son's coat or no.” Here was another clever trick. When once on»» starts a program' f|tylrkery, ft Is amazin*. what new tricks will present themselves, V. 33. "And he knew ft. and aald, It is my son's coat; an evil beast hath d< voured him; Joseph Is without doubt rent in piece**' CHURCH PAGE SPONSORS THE FIRST STATE BANK General Banking ——-O—O HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO.

Jacob had deceived his blind fa- ' ther Isaac concerning his idenity, ' and now he is deceived by his sons. Trickery has no respect for old age. v. 31. "And Jacob rent his clothes and put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his sons many days." The death of a favorite friend is very hard blow, and it takes a long time to heal such sorrow, v. 35. "And all his sons and all his daughters rose up to comfort him: hut he refused to he comforted; and he said, for I will go down into the grave unto my son mourning. This his father wept' for him." There is an app-a| of! sympathy in sorrow that brings' ■ triends closer together. In the . sharing of sorrow mankind is ' wrought into a better brotherhood. v. 36. "And the Mldanites sold him into Egypt unto Potiphar. an officer of Pharcaoh's and captain of the guard.” Slavery in the household of Potiphar Is often necessary before we can serve God acceptably. 0 | World-|O-z-N£tUs| An exhaustive survey of the problems that the world will face when the war ende. directed by Und- rsecretary of State Sumner Welles, and employing a capable staff, has been instituted in Washington. according Io the Associated Press.

With the demand for cliaplains still far from satisfied and with conscription - utllng off the supply of younger men who would normally enter the theological seminaries to study for the ministry, the church- > s are confronted with an limnediut< - rieis which threaten* to grow to serious proportions within a very few years. The number of American Roman Catholic missionaries has increased by 13% In the past two years to a total of 5.187 according to the 1912 editi n of a Missionary Index of Catholic Amerii ans. More than 2.600 of the ink-sionarles. It stated, are engaged In the foreign mission field.

The Worth of Human Personality Labor Day and Labor movement* owe their origin to the teaching of Christianity. The rights of men got small consideration until the Carpenter of Nazar-th proclaimed the worth of human personality and forever declared that worth by being willing to pay with his own life for its redemption. The Gospel of Christ first of all calls to men to have good will toward God and toward each other, for repentance ot wrong and injustice and for that equitable re-! lationxhip of the regenerated life which causes men to love right-' —
