COULDN’T EXPLAIN
TERRIBLE ORDEAL
Through Which She Had to Go.
Everyone Who Saw Her
Thought She Had No
Chance.
Carrsville, Ky— In advices from
this town. Mrs. Hattie Cain uays:
“FW 15 years, I was a great sufferer
from womanly trouble, and would have
to send for a doctor about every three
months, and sometimes oftener.
I cannot explain to you how dread-
fully I suffered at these times. I would
have convulsions, and it seemed that I
would die.
Everyone who saw me, thought
there wasn’t any chance for my recov-
ery.
The doctor said he thought I should
have an operation, but I couldn’t con-
sent to that, so he said for me to try
Cardui, the woman's tonic, as maybe
it would help me.
I began taking Cardui, and Oil! Such
a surprise it was to me! The first
bottle I took, I knew it was the medi-
cine for me, for I began to mend right
away.
After taking nine bottles, my condi-
tion was perfect.
It has now been seven years since I
was in such wretched health, and I
can do more workt can walk and go
w here I please, and it doesn’t hurt me.
1 owe all of this to Cardui.
I have induced several of my neigh-
bors to take it and it worked like a
charm.”
Give Cardui a trial for your troubles.

In teaching 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 the suc-
cesses of families and of chosen in-
dividuals are presented.
Joseph began life in Egypt as a
serf. 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 resig-
nation and resolved to adjust himself
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. It was a subtile tempta
tion for three reasons: (1) It appealed
to his natural appetites and passions;
(2) He was a stranger in a strange
land; (3) It might lead to his secur-
ing the place, power and prestige of
his master. Joseph was too honor-
able to plot treachery against the man
who trusted him sc much and he knew
God wel! enough not to yield to fleshly
desire, even though away from home.
Crime and Sin.
The 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.
12), to parley would have meant de-
feat. Between the ages of seventeen
and thirty. Joseph 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 religion should
recommend us. therefore itself, to
those who have to do with us.” (Mac-
laren). Joseph lias been referred to
as "the optimist,” not as one who be-
lieves that all will come right, but
that all is right now. That the hour
of depest humiliation is but before
the dawn of the highest exaltation
Joseph "the dreamer,” believing his
own dreams, is willing to Interpret
the dreams of his fellow prisoners.
So much by way of introduction. The
lesson proper divides itself naturally
into two divisions:
So much by wray 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. 6:11,
12.) By inference w-e are led to 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 friend
from whom he could not be separat-
ed. (Jehovah, 39:21.) Joseph in
prison was better off than his ene-
mies from whom he was separated,
discharge of their duties than did
Potiphar are brought into close con-
tact with Joseph. It was through
one of these men Jacob was afterr
wards given his opportunity which
led to the salvation of many, includ-
ing those of his own families. (Esther
6:1. Rom. 8:28, Ps. 76:10.) How lit-
tle do we suppose Joseph realized
that his kindly acts to his fellow suf-
ferers would be the stepping stones
of his release from bondage. In this
Joseph is another type of .Jesus of
whom it is recorded that he came to
minister, not to be ministered unto.
(Matt. 20:28.)
An Enlightened Age.
We cannot of course lay the same
emphasis upon dreams today as at
the time of Joseph, nor is there need
of such revelations from God, for we
live in the enlightened age of the
Holy Spirit and ever have easy ac-
cess to the word. But trivial as these
dreams may have seemed, God was
using them to change the course of
history. Verse seven gives us an in-
timation of th>s, 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, he
would have missed the very opportu-
nity God intended to use in the ef-
fecting of his escape from prison. It
is well to notice, however that Jo-
seph was equally quick to acknowl-
edge God as the source of wisdom
and blessing, (v. 2. Jas. 1:5.) It
was perfectly natural for the chief
butler to dream of his daily duty be-
fore the king; so it was that God
used this natural thing as the means
of bringing a supernatural revela-
tion. With God is no beginning nor
ending of time, and a miracle to us
is simply God precipitating or hast-
ening those natural processes which
to us are measured by a human meas-
urement of duration called time. Jo-
seph also saw’ in this dream the hand
of God in its possible relation to him-
self (v. 14), "have me in thy remem-
brance . . . and bring me out of
this house.” R. V. Nor did he doubt
the outcome of God’s revelation to
the butler. Joseph rested in his In-
tegrity (v. 15) through all of these
trying experiences.
II. The Chief Baker’s Dream, vv.
16-23. This dream also was connect-
ed with the dreamer’s avocation in
life and hence along the most natural
lines. Again Joseph's cherished con-
viction produced by his own dreams
'nduces him to offer an interpretation
of the baker's dream. Had he lost
this conviction due to the circum-
stances of the hour or questioned the
validity of God’s revelation or that
he was a called man in God's plan,
he would not have attempted any in-
terpretation. Again we emphasize the
fact that dreams are of a negligible
value In this present age. They
usually come from poor digestion or
else a sinful tendency to worry. They
have nothing of the divine about them.
(See Eccl. 5:3, Jer. 23:28.) We have
a better revelation from God. his
word; are we familiar with it? It is 1
foolish for us to put any dependence
upon dreams today. Joseph’s in- ;
terpretations which came from God
were fulfilled, vet the butler forgets.
But this was not the opportune mo-
ment for deliverance, a betetr one
was yet to come. (41:9.)
The Lessons of the Lesson.
For the younger pupils the story j

attention. For old and young there
Is the lesson of Joseph’s serviceable- ;
ness, he was a "helpful man." Jo-
seph bought up his opportunities and
later reaped his reward. Here is the
lesson of the forgetfulness of the
chief butler. Must we censure him
entirely for his ingratitude? Joseph’s
gift of leadership, ’twas not the occa- }
sion that made the man, but the man
made the occasion. The lesson o

RINGWORM SPREAD ON FACE
Campbell, Va.—“1 have been trou-
bled with ringworm on the right side

side of my face. It was red, rough and
in circles, and Itched and burned very
much. It n’as sore when 1 scratched
my face and it worried me so much I
couldn't keep from scratching. It
looked very bad; I would hate to go
out while it was on ray face. Every
one noticed it and some would ask
what it was.
