THE ISRAELITES IN A FOREIGN LAND S ft" d "t5'-J LESSON TEXT Genesis 47:1-12. GOLDEN TEXT Lord, thou hast beert our dwelling-place lr all generations. Psalm 90:1. .o p&t - ' v 4 Preparation of a great nation iakes time. God wanted Israel to lave opportunity to develop from a cirri II tr r nntmn n TT- oiron OQfA family to a nation so He arranged 'or them to have a place of refuge md , of abundant provision while they grew. He had already made Veady for them by sending Joseph into Egypt, and now the whole family of, Jacob moved down. Jacob's fears had been overcome Sylthe i vision of God (Gen. 46:1-4), njwhich he was assured that this vasthe outworking of God's pur30setto make of him a "great natiort'The promises to him and his?forefathers were now in processof fulfillment. The man who believesjGod is privileged to see Him WOrkWe find the family of Jacob '$1.1 la Egypt, but Separated (vv. .1-6). 4 As he presented the representatives'' of Ws brethren to Pharaoh, josepn mae Known mat ne naa settled them in the land of Goshen, a favored spot weli suited to their life as shepherds. ; It is worthy of observation that while they were now in Egypt there was no thought of mingling with the Egyptians. They wen to be a separated people living in a strange and. Only thus could the purity oi he nation be maintained and a peo)le suited for God's service be kept ind mads ready. The application to the life of the 3iristian lies right at hand. Ir. cnpture n-gypt is .i type or tn : rvorld, vhere fleshly appetites are satisfied and where strance sods ire wnrshinpd. Th Christian is tc 'come ut from amr;ng them" and :o be separate (II C;r. 6:14-18). . The tendency in our time is tc ninimi: the import:iBce'qt separaion from worldliness and to regard hose who preach and practice it as joing narrow and old-fashioned. Saj vhat you will, it U a fact thai vorldliness has robhed the Church if, its spiritual power and of its real . stimony for Christ. r'AsJa'matter of fact, the Christian lsjnotJnarrow. He is as broad as ' the 3fcounsels of God, and the Worldling who boasts of his broad- ' mindedness has often mistaken superficial i flatness for real broadness.i H.Blessed, but Blessing (vv. H0)v If JacobfJ and n's family received ; fnanyjj; mercies at the hands ofj . Pharaoh and his people, but they ; were not in the land just to be j blessed but also to bring a blessing. RThe natriarch Jacob was brought) byj" Joseph into the presence, of Pharaoh. Tat noble son was not ashamed to bring his aged Hebrew father into the presence of the king. There he gave witness concerning his life. But he did something else .he blessed Pharaoh. fcThat scene speaks volumes to us s' ennsnans. we are noi jt -me ivorld but we are in the world (John 17:15-17). We are to be a separated loes'not mean that we are not to ring blessing to those round about ts.jWe;are in the world not just o? enjoy . ourselves, but to make !hrist-, known to others to touch Ives. that are needy and saddened ind sin-sick. It is also of interest that the blessjSf of Jacob was given to the 'man n, the "throne. We are apt to think if the poor and the underprivileged astneeding the gospel and forget that i,the. rich man in the house on the hul may be the most spiritually hungry in town.

Chat is precious but it is not enough; here must be growth in grace. . j Some Christians are saved and tept all right, but it is just a matsr of being "preserved" and put on - i shelf. They are of no earthly use ' mless it is to be exhibited, and that tind of a Christian is not really " worth showing off. SThen, too, some of the saints are preserved but not in sweetness. They are evidently preserved by pickling, sour, unpleasant people iometimes called "vinegar saints." '3od' deliver us from that kind of reservation!

WHAT
Prater is the soul's sincere desire, Utter'd or unexpress'd: The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear, The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near. Prayer is the simplest form of speech That infant lips can try; Prayer, thie sublimest strains that reach The Majesty on high. Prayer is the Christian's vital breath, The Christian's native air; His watchword at the gates of death, He enters heaven with prayer. Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, Returning from his ways; While angels, in their songs, rejoice, And cry-i-BehoId, he prays! O Thou, by Whom we come to God, ' The Life? the Truth, the Way, The path of prayer thyself hast trod: . .' Lord, teach us how to pray! '''

IT IS TRUE that the fields are white unto harvest. In Christian work, the field is the world, and any vision short of this is inadequate to accompl:,sh the world-wide task of reaching those in every nation of the earth who need to hear the Cospc-1. In John 3:3433, Jesus said to His own disciples: "For he whom Gad has sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him. The Father loveth the son, and hath given all things into his hand." IT IS TRUE that all who are truly bom-again Christians through faith in Christ, are co-labourers together with God. We know this is true, because in I Cor. 3:9, the Apostle said: "For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building."
ITMS TRUE that the King's business requires haste. Why? Because in John 9:4, Jesus said: "I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night corneth. when no man can work." Surely, the evening shadows of this dying age are fast deepening into earth's coming night, and whatsoever we expect to do for our Lord in hehalf of needy souls, must be done quickly. IT IS TRUE that prayer is a necessary part of a Christian's life, and especially so in these days when there is so much sin in the world, and so much indifference on the part of God's people. Let us remember, therefore, that in James r:13.: the Apostle said: 'Confess your faults one to another, and p'sjay for , one aether, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent, prayer' of a righteous man availeth much."
