I OB Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson. God’s Steadfast Love, Gen. 39:20-23 ; 41:46-52, for Sunday, June 23rd. This lesson shows that God guides and cares for all men even amid hardships and adversities. If we recognize His steadfast love, we can maintain a close fellowship with God and with our fellowmen. V. 20. “And Joseph’s master took him, and put him into the prison, a place where the king’s prisoners were bound: and he was there In the prison.” The wife of Joseph’s master, Potiphar, told lies about Joseph when he repelled her, and as a result was cast into prison. Potiphar was the captain of Pharoh’s guard and Joseph had won a position of responsibility in his household before Potiphar's scheming wjfe sought revenge. A slave hgd no chance for a fair trial. V. 21. “But the Lord was with Joseph, and shewed him mercy, and gave him favour in the sight of the keeper of the prison.” The Lord knew Joseph was guiltless of the charge against him and his spirit and power enabled him to make of his prison a sanctuary. Since he proved - his ability, the keeper of the prison took advantage of his desire to be useful, and considered him favorably. V 5.23,23. “And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph's hand all the prisoners that were in the prison; ’and whatsoever they did there; he was the doer of it.. . The keeper of the prison looked not to anything that was under his hand; because the Lord was with him, and that which he did, the Lord njade it to prosper," Joseph was successful in all he attempted and so was soon given great authority in prison as chief administrator because the warden trusted his Wisdom and ability; V. 48. “And Joseph was thirty i years old when he stood before Pharoh. king of Egypt. And Joseph 1 went out from the presence of Pharoh, aiyl went throughout all the land ‘dt Egyrf”. Joseph >ad been summoned before Pharaoh to interpret his dream to jnean there would be seven years of plenty followed by seven years of famine. Pharaoh was impressed by Joseph and made him his food administrator. In this capacity, he made a survey of the crops and decided on a plan of storage to prepare for the 1 famine to come. V 5.47,48. “And in the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth by handfuls .. . And he gathered up all the food of the seven years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was round about every city, laid he up in the same.” The River Nile, during these years furnished plenty of water for the irrigation of crops. In overflowing its banks, the river deposited a layer of silt, which fertilized the land. Joseph gathered in one-fifth of the grain crop and stored’ it in vast granaries. Th* next verse indicates that so great was the harvest that it was impossible to keep accurate account of the amount of grain stored. V. 50. “And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, which Asenath the daughter of Potipherah priest of On bare unto him.” Asenath was a woman of high social standing whom Pharaoh had given Joseph as a wife. Joseph looked upon his home life as a blessing of God, to whom he gave all the praise ofr his prosperity and success. His wife’s father was very influential, not only as one of the ministers of the state’s, religion, but as a guardian of the knowledge of the people. V 5.51,52. “And Joseph called the

name of the first born Manasseh: For God said he hath made me forget all my toil and all my father's house .. . And the name of the second called he Ephraim: For God hath caused me to be fruitful in tfcs land of my affliction.” Josaph came to see, how God had a hand in his exile, and was making all his labors and sorrows work out for good, making him forget his bitterness. Joseph gave God ’ all credit for his prosperity, in token of which he named his second ton Ephraim. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.

He saw the possibilities, potentialities, and promises that were inherent in every soul. . He discouraged sinning and encouraged righteousness by pointing out the better way and building on the good. He treated the common man uncommonly. Jesus helped "prosaic lives to become lives poetic. He saw the angel in the rough stone, the jewel in the mire, the lily in the muck. Out of taxgatherers and fishermen He made kingdom .builders and fearless messengers of Divine truth. His was the sympathetic heart, and the helpful hand, and the understanding head.” — The Expositor and Homilectic Review. I . Iww > WORLD RELIGIOUS NEWS ?
