dian to the Atlantic ocean, by wav
of the Zambesi river. Lake Bang-

ever, not by automobile this time, but
"by motor boat. This offered some-
thing unique in the way of African
travel. It meant hardships and dis-
appointments innumerable, but what
of that?
He mapped out a route that would
take him from Quilimane, the port on
the coast of Portuguese East Africa.

shed to Fife. The motor-boat was
specially prepared for this part of the
Journey, being fitted with wheels for
use on land.
From Fife he decided to travel by
■way of the Chambesi river, Kabinga.
mnd thus arrive at the shores of the
•mail inland sea, Lake Rangweolo,
upon which no white 'man had ever
©ailed. After spending some time ex-
ploring this unknown water and col-
blood-red morning sun triumphantly
rose over the summit of the dark
chain of the Muchemwa mountains,
bathing all nature in its glorious
beauty. It bade them rise and con-
tinue their journey down the Cham-
besi to the lake, their long-hoped for
destination
At six-thirty the two white men em-
barked, and a few minutes lat r the
African servants were rowing lustily
up the Chambesi toward Rangweolo
for whenever possible they saved
their gasoline and rowed Moreover,
there were many shallow channels to
be negotiated and these were th*
more easily navigated without use of
the motor.
For a time nothing unusual hap-
pened. T'lere was no sign of life
beyond occasional birds along the
river banks. At last a convenient
place to land and partake of break-
fast was found, and the two men ran
the launch into the bank. The cook
and servants busily stirred them-
selves to prepare the delayed meal

Joseph was thirty years of age when
he reached his position of supreme au-
thority, but we ought not to allow our-
selves to forget those thirteen years
of humiliation, during which ho was
betrayed, sold Into slavery and neg-
lected by those whom he befriended.
Yet those were days of fidelity in his
service, of victory over fierce tempta-
tion. of enduring unjust imprisonment
| —a long period o! patient waiting but
a valuable period in that now at thirty
years of age he conies to this position
of power fully equipped with that
knowledge of men, control of himself
and faith in God as to be properly fit-
ted for the burden of responsibility j
thrust upon him.
Did Not Forget.
f. The Brothers Need, vv. 3-6. The
famine was not confined to Egypt, but
I reached over to Canaan, where Jacob
and his sons lived The desperate*
hess of the famine is indicated by Ja-
cob's command to buy, "that we may
live, and not die." Hut Jacob is too
old to travel, hence the brothers un-
dertake the journey. Twenty-two
years have passed since that ex peri- I
once when Joseph's brethren cast him
into the pit. They have b
filled with wonderful experiences for
Joseph. Now their attitude is changed;
instead of being his tormentors they
are suppliants at his feet. During
these seven years of garnering Joseph
had set up his own family and two
sons were born, the "names of whom
were significant.
Th© possess ion of a child of his own
would naturally quick* n his inquiries
as to his father's household, for he
assumed that in the order of events
his father must be dead.
II. A Brother's Memory, vv. 7-17. Jo-
seph at once recognized his bro'hers,
but treat ?d them brusquely, demand-
ing from whence they came and the
purpose that brought them hither
(v. 7). Again (vv. 8, 9) the text re-
minds us that Joseph remembered.
Only C.od can forgive and forget. But
Joseph is an inspiration to us that j
though we may not be able to forgot !
we can forgive. The question might j
be raised, "Why then did Joseph dis-
simulate?" The answer is threefold: j
(1) Joseph desired to ascertain the '■
characters of his brothers. I)id they j
remember? Yes, for they replied that j
they were "twelve brethren." Ten j
were before him, one at home and
"one is not." That their characters
were not entirely changed Is evi- '
denced by their words, "We are true
men" (v. 11), which of course was not |
the truth. (2) Joseph desired to know |
of his father and of their home life, i
The accusation that the brothers are j
spies called forth the statement that ;
the father, Jacob, is still alive. The |
third reason for this treatment devel-
oped out of these flrBt two, viz., Jo-
seph desired to reach his father and
Benjamin, whom he had never seen.
We do not commend Joseph's method
as being of the highest ethical value,
for his standard was not the standard
of the man who knows Christ. Joseph
is a type; there Is only one perfect
man, Jesus Christ, and Joseph points
toward that promised Saviour.
Guilty Consciences.
Joseph knew his brothers told the
truth about their not being spies, but
he also knew that they lied when they
asserted themselves to be true men
and that one brother "is not." Here
is the lesson of mistaken estimates of
one's self and that a man's true value
is known and appreciated. Little did
they realize, however, that their false-
hood was being read as it was uttered
end that the man before whom they
were standing was this same brother.
Joseph affected not to believe any of
their story and demanded proof (vv.
15, 16) of their assertions. After three
days in jail he appeared to relent and
ordered that only one of their number .
should remain as hostage. The result
of all is shown in v. 21. After invel- |
untarily leaving Simeon shut up in the
Egyptian prison their minds traveled
back to that time twenty years before
and they remembered Joseph's an- i
guish and distress when they would 1
not hear, "therefore is this distress ;
come upon us." Their guilty con- !
sciences are aroused.
