' t UNDAY SCHOOL LESSON Lss'n XI. THE BROTHERLY LOVE OF .lUDAH (Genesis 42: 1â€"45: 15.) Prlntc;! Textâ€" Genesis 44: 18â€"34. Golden Text â€" Let love of the breth- ren continue. Hebrews 13: 1. The Lesson In Its Setting Time:â€" The events in this lesson occurred during the seven years of famine, i.e., B.C .1716â€" B.C. 1710. Place:â€" The family of Jacob was probably residing near Becr-sheba in southern Palestine; Joseph was liv- ing in the capital of Egypt, Zoan, in the ea.-tern part of the Nile Delta. The Plan of the Lesson Subject: â€" The Perfect Purposes of God and Kis Divine Overruling to Accomplish Them. "Then Judah came near unto him, and said, Oh, my lord, let thy serv- ant, I pray thee speak a word in my lord's ears, and let thine anger burn against thy servant; for thou art even as Pharaoh." â€" Judah first acknowledges the absolute supremacy of the one to whom he is speaking. "My lord asked his servants, say- ing. Have ye a father, or a bi-other? And we said unto my lord. We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loveth him." â€" Almost every word here is bound to appeal to the heart of Joseph â€" "a father, an old man," "a child of his old age, a little one," "his brother is dead," "he alone is left," "his mother," "his father loveth him." "And thou saidst unto thy S(;rv- ants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him. And we said unto my lord, The lad can- not lea\"e his father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die. And thou saidst unto thy serv- ants, Except your youngest brother come down with you, ye shall see my face no more. And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, we told him the words of my lord. And our father said, Go again, buy us a little food. And we said. We cannot go down; if our youngest brother be with us, then will we go down; for we may not see the man's face, except our youngest brother be with us." â€" Though Judah is too burdened and his heart torn with too great an anguish : o think of cleverness, yet he could never have spoken more movingly to the one before whom he stood if he had thought out his speech for weeks be- fore, because he is simply telling the one who now demands that Benjamin remain in Egypt that all o f this tragedy and trouble came about be- cause the one before whom he was speaking demanded that Benjamin be brought down into Egypt against the Strong wishes of the boy's father. "And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wife bare me two sons. And the one went oat from me, and I said. Surely he is torn in pieces; and I have not seen him since. And if ye take this one also from me, and harm befall him, ye will brins down my gray hairs with sorrow to Shcol. Now there- fore v/hen I come to thy servant my A Delight to Stars father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the lad's life; it will come to pass, when he aeeth that the lad is not with us, that he will die; and thy servants will bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to Sheol." â€" Let the lord be- fore whom he speaks realize that to go back to Canaan without this youngest son will bring the old father prematurely in sorrow to the grave. Here Judah seems to appeal to the deepest emotions of the human heart, love for an aged parent, and a regard for ultimate consequences. "For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying. If I bring him not unto thee, then shall I bear the blame to my father for ever. Now therefore, let thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the lad a bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren. For how shall I go up to my father, if the lad be not with me? lest I see the evil that shall come on my father." â€" The whole argument is powerfully concluded by Judah's of- fering to take Benjamin's place. This appeal was not simply a succession of words superficially expressed, but > the profoundest confessions of a broken heart are here proved. Judah would rather live the rest of his days in Egyptian slavery than to see his j father die with a broken heart when he knew that Benjamin would not come home again. The sublime hero- ism of his noble act of self-sacrifice on the part of Judah would be im- possible to over-estimate. The self- forgetful magnanimity of such an action has never been eclipsed and seldom rivalled. After words so exquisitely beautiful, and profoundly prophetic, it was impossible for Joseph to doubt that a complete change had passed upon his brethren and in particular, upon Judah, since the day when he had eloquently urg- ed and they had wickedly consented to sell their brother Joseph, into Egypt. "Christ is our surety. He makes himself one with us (Heb. 2: 11). He sprang from Judah (Heb. 7: 14). He was accepted as cur substitute, was bound, abused, and crucified. He bore the curse for us (Gal. 3: 13). Christ died for us who were below him. Furthermore, Christ pleads for us before the throne of the Father (Heb. 7: 25). The Character of Judah Judah's name had been given to him at his birth amid circumstances of hope on the part of his mother, for Judah means "praise." His early youth did not, however, afford any proof whatever that he wao living up to his splendid name. But in the<;e later chapters, he comes to the fore with great force of character, and the whole tone of his exquisite ap- peal in behalf of Benjamin shows that he is now living up to his name. The pressure of poverty, the stings of conscience, the deepening of family love, the checking of self- confidence, are a few of the ways in which Judah was brought into the line of true life and enabled to take the lead in these family troubles and sorrows (Heb. 12: 11). Martin has said tJiat he would have given anything if he could pray to God as Judah prayed to Joseph.

BELL With the Co-OperatioD of the Various Departmenta of the Ontario Agricultural College. J. F. G. of Halton Co., asks the fol- lowing questions: Question â€" "Where can package bees and equipment be secured?" Answer â€" Package bees may be se- cured from F. W. Jones and Son, of Guelpli. Ontario; W. A. Chrysler & Son. Chatham, Ontario; H. M. Clu- blne and Company, Branttord, Ontario as well as other uistributors within the province. They may also be secur- ed from one ot the many package producers in the Southern States. Question â€" "Is it necesary to se- cure a permit to move or sell bees?" An.-.v.sr â€" The requirements under the Bee Disease Act demand that an owner or possessor of an apiary shall ijot sell, barter, give away or remove from the premises any bees or used apiary appliances or apparatus unless he has secured a permit from the Provincial Apiarist that such bees, nsed apiary appliances and aparatus |iave been properly dininfected all are free from disease. Question â€" "Is it necessary to feed package bees, and It so, how would you prepare it?" Answer â€" "Package bees should be â- iveu at least ten pounds of sugar iyrup, mixed, one of sugar to one of water, by weight or measure. This jinay be fed In a ten pound pail, that Ms several perforated holes In the Bd through which the liquid may be taken by the bees. The main object ot feeding Is to avoid starvation until fte nectar secretion In flowers Is av- ' filable. Question â€" "When should potatoes be pL-inted?" E. J., Ontario Co. Answer â€" From experiments con- ducted at the Ontario Agricultural College for seven years in duplicate, figuring from plantings on May 20th to June 17th, there is a loss of 1 1-5 bushels per acre per day in early po- tatoes, 1 1-3 bushels per acre per day in late potatoes, and 1 1-4 bush- els per acre per day in a combination of early and late potatoes as the date of planting is delayed from the earF- iest to the latest time mentioned. Twins Stay Alike Only If Together Twins don't stay alike if they do not stay together. This is the gen- eral conclusion derived from a study of many pairs of twins, both identi- cal and non-identical, by a three- man research team at the University of Chicago, representing the sciences of biology, psychology, and statistics. Some of the twins had been reared together, others had been separated in infancy by various chances of life, and brought up apart. It was found that if the two members of a pair of identical twins grew up in strongly different social and educa- tional surroundings, they "grew apart" as the years went on, and came to be quite unlike each other.

Others Ihiuk they recognize it as the house once occupied by Barbara Stanwyck whsn she was mairied to Frank Pay. Nei- ther theory is correct. The house be- longs to a Los Angeles real estate dealer and was merely rented by the Selznicklntornational company for two days. The enterprising young Grand Na- tional company certainly stole a real march on tlie rest of the .studios as they signed Siu Erwin to a starring contract. Since that time "Dance, Charlie, Dance" which he made for Warner Brothers has been previewed and Stu has landed right up In the thin ranks of top-notch comedians. He has finished his first picture for Grand National. It is called ' Sm ill Town Boy" and everyone says it is a knockout. Ever since Myrna Love finished 'Parni'll," -ihe has lieen enjoying a where a gleaming luxurious hotel is sliaring scenic hon- ors wich the harbor which is said to be the most beautiful in the world â€" even more bnauiitui than the far-famed Bay ot Naples. Her hus- band, Arthur Horn- blow, got away from his duties at Para- lazy vacation at Tn- senada, M'xico. and mount long enough tn spend a week with her and was seized v,-ith the in- spiration to write a picture set in the loca.'p of En.senada.
