In leaching this lesson we must not
overlook the intervening events which
are other illustrations of the truthful-
ness of the biblical narrative in that
the sinful failures as well as Ihe suc-
cesses of families and of chosen In-
dividuals are presented.
Joseph began life in Egypt as a
seif. Potiphar, who bought him. was
the chief marshal of the empire, the
lord high executioner. What Joseph's
feelings must have been we are left
to infer, but we believe he accepted
his humiliating position with reslg-
nation and resolved to adjust himself ”allJ industry, and

The Institute voted to send greet-

to his new environment. Thus it was
that Potiphar found in Joseph an hon
est servant, Joseph served ten years,
years of constant promotion when he
encountered the ordeal related in
chapter 39.
Crime and Sin.
Thp breaking point had to come
when he exclaimed: ‘‘How can I do
this wickedness and sin against God?"
Gen. 39:9. A crime is committed
against a man or against society; the
same act against God is a sin. Jo-
seph's only safety was in flight <v.

feat Between the ages of seventeen
and thirty. Jospph lived a life of slav-
ery and imprisonment. But God was
with him and his faithfulness was re-
warded by being promoted to the po-
•sition of warden. "Our'religlon should
recommend us. therefore itself, fo
those who have to do with us.'' (Mac-
laren). Joseph has been referred to
as the optimist," not as one who be-
lieves that all will come right, but
that all is right now.
I So much by way of introduction.
The lesson proper divides itself nat-
urally into two divisions;
I. The Chief Butler’s Dream, vv.
9-15. As we have seen Joseph's pur-
ity of life and loyalty to God had
brought upon him the bitter hatred
of an unprincipled woman <cf. 2 Tim.
3:12). but as we shall see. the sequel
was his exaltation (See Matt. 5:11.
12.) By inference we arp led fo be
lieve that Potiphar had not alto-
gether believed the story of his wife,
else he would have exercised his
right as an official, also as a slave-
owner. and summarily executed Jo-
seph. But Joseph had one frieqd
from whom he could not be separat-
ed. (Jehovah, 59:21.)
In the providence of God two men
who stood nearer the King In the
discharge of their duties than did
Potiphar are brought into close con-
tact with Joseph, it was through
one of thesp men Jacob was after-
wards given his opportunity which
led to the salvation of many, includ-
ing those of his own families (Esther
6:1, Rom. 9:28, Ps. 76:10.)

lias sisters and daughters in the ad-
vanced registered class, with records
of 25 to 35 pounds per week.
Concerning this fine Animal, Mr.
Fulkerson says: "I feel that in
bringing this bull to Woods county,
that it will be a great impetus to the
that Woods
county will soon have some of the
world’s best blood in the veins of
her cows.”
Mr. Fulkerson recently bought
Mr. Cott’s registered Jersey male
and four of his registered cows. This
stock is of the best Jersey blood in
the U. S. and he intend^to add to the
herd from time to time.
SHALL we he hopeless-
ly HEPUBLIUAX?
The house Wednesday passed a
redistricting bill, making seven
safely democratic districts and one,
including Woods county, safely re-
publican. The bill, as passed, had
1 59 ayes, 27 nays and 12 absent. 13
democrats and all of the republi-
cans, 14 in number, voted against
the measure. The bill was immedi-
ately signed and sent to the' senate.

the good she has done. A vote was
taken to send flowers to Mr. Wright
who signed the pledge while in jail
and lives at Avard. Miss Barber 1
spoke on Reverence for Authority, |
showing the need of all to have rev- j
erence for those in authority over
us and especially the reverence of
children for parents. Mrs. Cox
gave a splendid paper on Scientific
Temperance from Hobson, followed
by a reading by Mrs. Oviatt, "Patty
Ryan Asserts Her Rights," which
was enjoyed by all. Report of Evan-
geli.-tic work by Mrs. Woodward.
Mrs. dosser gave a very instructive
report on Purity Work. Mrs. Dave
Miller gave a report on Mothers'
Meetings, showing the good done by
mothers in conference. Mrs. G. W.
Snyder gave a report of the Flow-
er Mission Work. S9 bouquets sent
and $4.50 worth of green house
flowers sent to sick and afflicted to
cheer and bless. Miss Estelia Earn-
est gave a report of the great work
being done in the public school to
teach the children the evil effects
of alcohol and tobacco on the sys-,
tern. Also teaching them great les-
sons in morality and health instruc- ;
tion.
Night Session. i
Opened by instrumental music by
county, made a powerful speech
against the bill, charging that it
would disfranchise the democrats
in the 6th or republican district.
He showed front the records that al-
though the republicans in the pro-
posed district cast 4,109 majority
at the last election, yet that there
were more democrats in that dis-
trict than in either of the democrat-
ic districts. He said that to place
these democrats in an overwhelm-
ingly republican district was unfair

a visitor in our city yesterday, a
guest of Dr. A. W. Clarke. He
came especially to see Clarke's mule
foot hogs and was greatly pleased
with them. His bunch of thirty-
five mulefoot hogs are hard to beat

he will soon have Alva noted as the

dreams may have seemed, God was
using them to change the course of \

timatinn of this, also a hint of Jo-
seph's heart of compassion and sym-
pathy. Had Joseph been a selfish
man, slow to notice the sorrows of
others and still slower to make any
endeavor to relieve their suffering, be
would have missed the very opportu-
