Eventually a man's past catches ip with him and he must face his jwn record. The Bible says, 'Be mre your sin' will find you out" iNum. 32:23), ana it always aue. Jacob, who had tricked and de ceived his brother and had fled inta t far country, ultimately had to relurn tn his homeland and face Esau. he story of what happened makes ip our dramatic and instructive lesson. Before Jacob could be permitted fo enter the Promised Land of his father, he had to meet God. He iieeded a thoroughgoing, transforma:ioa of life and attitude, ana ne re vived it as he wrestled with uoa bt Peniel (Gen. 32). Tlltimatelv the stubborn man had io vield. and then he found that it Aras God who had come to give mm I A great blessing. How often do we I aght against the goodness and mer- I rv nf find. Yielding brines bless i Ing; Jacob "the supplanter" became Israel "prince with God." He was flow ready for J. Reconciliation (vv. J-7). After Iivine for 20 years in horror pf meeting Esau, Jacob now learned that his brother was coming againsi Mm with an army. . He resorted to clever strategy, but this time it was done not in sly crookedness, but in an open friendly effort to win his brother's good will. There is nothing wrong about tne Use of a tactful approach, and it really worked for Jacob. His cour tesy was shown by his seven bows. His bravery appeared in going out first. His . -conciliatory attitude showed in his rich gift to his brother. Then came a surprise. Esau proved to be a loving brother rather than a hated enemy.

A Prophet Prepared by God ; (41:14-16, 25).' : The hour had come when a man Was needed who had a word from God. In preparation for the awful jrears of famine the Lord wanted to Use the land of Egypt as His great granary. He wanted thus to preserve the hosen nation of Israel, as well as to meet the needs of Dlhers. . The vision of the king, plain as it teemed when interpreted, was unintelligible without the key from !God, and He had his man prepared. Joseph was ready to be called from i prison to speak the right vord at tha j fight time. iiow important it is mat tne Lord's messengers be prepared and ready to respond in the hour ol His blessing and opportunity! Many Eager Christians look forward to the months and years just ahead of us as the greatest opportunity the Church has had to spread the gosr V Notice that Joseph gave God the 'lory (vv. 16-25). The one who really knows what is going on in the world k quick to recognize that only the r.isdom, and the grace of God are jf.ufHcient for man's need.

Ha anted Joseph there at this tuna. nd there he was. It may be well to stress the facs lhat God is interested in govern ment and in the men who hold public office. In fact, the only true jfoundation for government is found in God. We are told to "be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers lhat be are ordained of God" (Rom. 13:1). The Bible clearly teaches that every governmental agency and every public servant, from the police man on the corner to the President in the White House, is permitted to exercise authority over his fellowyieo only because God has ordained nat mere sno'ia as sucn govern ment. v Clear it is that every rightdiinking official of state and nation ould be humble, teachable, diseet, and wise in the exercise of his owerv 'and' God-fearing in the disharge of his responsibility.

AT IE CHURCHES

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE ' SERVICES "Mind" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches ol Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, August 26. The Golden Text is: "Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: . . . he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding" ( Daniel 2:20, 21). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof : it shall be a jubile unto you; and ve shall return every man unto his possession, and ye shall return every man unto nis lamny. ie suau nui therefore oppress one another; but thou shalt fear thy God: for I am the Lord your God. Wherefore ye shall lo my statutes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety" (Leviticus 25:10, 17, 18). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "The history of our country, like all history, illustrates the might of Mind, and shows human power to be proportionate to its embodiment of right thinking The despotic tendencies, inherent in mortal mind and always germinating in new forms of tyranny, must be rooted out through the action of the divine Mind" (p.

Never in the course of human living has the world been shattered by such memorable events and at no time since the passing of JesusChrist in the flesh from the face of the earth has the world seen such a chance for its peoples to ban together in equality. While there are nations who must be proven, fit to live in a world of civilized nations', it is nevertheless gratifying to know that the American people are willing to approach these nations on a half-way basis. Our leaders have expressed their desire to bring peace to our people and the world. Not one track of the aggressor's territory do we want. And while an overseeing body must be planted! in those nations! to guide and safeguard their actions for the smaller, peaceable peoples of the world there must also be made an attempt to clear the cobwebs from the minds of these people. Thoughts whether good or bad thafi continue to remain in the mind will in time envelope the whole of thei mind, therefore it is foremost in our duty to place the good thought into these warped minds. And wht w the beginning of the good. Did oui's, as it might be, not start with liberty and much earlier with truth. Our ancestors began this nation in a search for a place to worship God's truth according t the dictates of their own conscience and out of that truth sprang LIBERTY . . . FREEDOM . . . JUSTICE! Our dealings with these peoples should be firm but just. And justice is truth in action through which liberty is preserved. May Almighty God give our leaders the grace to continue to deal justly with these nations with whom we have been at war. And by our works may they see the fruits of Justice, Freedom and Liberty.
