The events of this les- ion occur somewhere near 1715 to 1710 B.C. Place. Shechem, where Jos- eph's father lived, was located in southern Palestine. For the most part. Joseph resided in Zoan, at this time the capital of Egypt, in the eastern part of the Nile delta, ome 200 miles southwest of She- chem. Judah'. Plea 18. ''Then Judah came neai unto him, and said, Oh, my Lord, Ut thy servant, I pray Thee, speak a word in my Lord's ears, and lt not thine anger burn against thy servant; for Thou art even at Pharaoh. 1'J. My Lord asked his ervants, saying, Have ye a father, or a brother? 20. And we said unto my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old tigfc. u little one; and his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother; and his father loveth h.m. 21. And Thou saidst unto thy servants, Bring him down unto me, that I may set mine eyes upon him. 22. And we suiri unto my lord, The lad cannot leavc^iis father: for if he should leave his father, his father would die. 23. And thou saidst unto thy servants, Except your younjrust brother come down with you. yc shall see my face no more. 24. And it came to pass when we came up unto thy servant my father, v.e told him the words of my lord. 25. And our father said, Go ayain, buy us a little food. 26. 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. 27. And thy servant my father said unto us, Ye know that my wift bare me two sons: - JX. and the one went out from me, and I said, surely he is torn in pieces ; and I have not seen him since ; 2!l. and if ye take this one also from me, and harm befall him. ye will bring: down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol. 30. Now therefore when 1 conic to thy servant my father, and the lad is not with us; seeing that his life is bound up in the hurst life; 31. It will conic to pass, when he se.'th that the lad is not with us, that he will die: and thy servant* will bring down the gray hairs of thy servant our father with sorrow to Shcol." Judah's Sorrow The plea that now pours from Jmlah's lips is consideerd "one of the masterpieces of Hebrew com- position." Its simplicity and Ha manil'es'ation of strong emotion, of vibratinc compassion, of un- uestionqed earnestness, make it worthy to be compare, 1 to the great pleadings of history. First, he acknowledges that they are guilty, r. nd that their guilt is dis- covered. Then he proceeds to tell him in a moving way of the aged father, of the brother who has died, and of the great love which the father has for the little one, Benjamin, The child of his old age."JuJah vividly describes to Joseph the scene in the parental home as the old man, with great reluctance and sorrow of heqrt, allowed them to take Benjamin down into Egypt, persuaded, how- ever, that he will never see h's youngest son again. Now, said Judah, if they go home to their aged father without the lad, what will they do but bring their father quickly with sorrow to *fc grave. Judah's Self -Sacrifice 32. "For thy servant became surety for the lad unto my father, saying, If I bring him not unto thee, then I shall bear the blame to my father for ever. 33. Now therefore, let they servant, I pray thee, abide instead of the lad bondman to my lord; and let the lad go up with his brethren. 84. 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." Finally, said Jud- ah, he, himself, had become sure- ty for the lad to his father, and he pled with Joseph to allow him, Judah, to remain as a bondman in place of Benjamin, so that Ben- jamin could go up with his bre- thren to Jacob at Hebron. The sublime heroism of this noble act of self-sacrifice on the part of Judah it is impossible to overestimate. In behalf of one whom he knew was preferred IB a higher place in his father's af- fection than himself, he was will- ing to renounce his liberty rather than see his aged parent die of a broken heart. The self-forgetful magnanimity of such an action ha* never been eclipsed, and dom rivaled. After word* to ex- quisitely beautiful and profound- ly pathetic, it was impossible for Joseph to doubt that a complete change had passed upon his breth- ren, and in particular upon Judah, since the day when he had elo- quently urged, and they had wick- edly consented, to sell their broth- er, Joseph, into Egypt. The word here translated sure- ty refers to one person pledging himself that another person will do a certain thing in the future, MI he promises to do, or he, the sure- ty, will offer up his own life aa a penalty for failure. God In Our Lives God is in all the events of our lives. Many of us are ready enough to admit that he is in the prosperous things, but when trouble comes upon us we at- tribute that solely to others, and In that way we lose the comfort which otherwise we might have enjoyed under its endurance. The mercies of a lifetime are often ignored by us under the bitter- ness of a single trial; and God, who has been our friend for years, is forgotten altogether, while we passionately condemn some others as the authors of our affliction. but w shall never find consola- tion that way. Th efirst thing we ought to say regarding every trial is, 'It is the Lord.' No matter what may have been the human instrumentality through which we may think our trouble has come upon us; no matter what may have been the material causes which have apparently operated against us in and over all human actioni and all material operations there U God. His providence is univer- sal and supreme, and the first thought of our spirits should be, 'It is the Lord.' Then that will steady us; for did he not give his own Son to die for us on the cross? Has he not shown hU kindness to us in multitudinous and unmistakable ways through- out our lives? Can It b, there- fore, that he means anything but good to us in anything, even though it should be a terrible af- fliction? Thus, so soon as we trace a trial up to God, we are on the way to comfort and support under it. For there are not two Gods one of providence, and one of redemption. Jehovah ii one, and he who 'so loved the world that he gave his only-be- gotten Son, that whosoever be- lieveth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life,' is at the same time he who orders our lives and sends and superintends our affliction. We may, therefore, have absolute faith in his good- ness, not only in spite of trial, but through trial.

Discussing the serious increase in Juvenile delinquency, Dr. Ken- neth H. Rogers, General Secretary of the Big Brother Movement, said that this presented one of the major problems of this country. Nerver was the need so great, he said, for increased activity among such organizations as the Boy Scouts, Girl Guides, Y.M.C.A., and Sunday Schools, upon which were placed added responsibilities in these abnormal days. To neglect these obligations will mean stead- ily increasing delinquency now, and will entail graver social pro- blems in the post-war days. Dr. Rogers said. * * Scout Jerry Tichopad, 14 years old, of Toronto, has good reason to remember the Gestapo. Jerry with his parents escaped from Czechoslovakia about three years ago. The Gestapo, he says, took over his scout hall for their head- quarters, and robbed the Scouts of practically all their equipment. Jerry was able to save only two bits of his personal equipment, his belt, which he wore, and his Scout knife, which his mother placed among the kitchen knives they were taking with them. Jerry is now proud to be a Can- adian Boy Scout. * * * Boy Scouts of the Sudbury district are undcr.iroinn an inten- sive course of training to make themselves available for nie^sjn- ger service with the Sudbury A.R.P. organization. "You will be used to carry messages from place to place, and will be grouped in the transportation service branch," the boys were told by an A.R.P. official. * * "I've still got those stocking," His Majesty the King told the Chief Scout, Lord Somers, on a recent visit to Imperial Head- quarters in London. The King was shown a photograph of him- self in Boy Scout uniform taken about 15 years ago. \ot only did His Majesty recall that he still had the stockings, but he was able to recall the names of all the officials shown in the photo- graph with him.
