Judah Makes Gocd
With the closing of the lesson for
last Sunday, Pharoah had dreamed
two dreams, in one of which seven
poor and ornery looking cows had
eaten seven fat ones and were still
very poor, and in the other of which
seven nubbins had devoured seven
good ears of corn and were still the
same scrubby nubbins. Pharoah tried
his magicians for an interpretation
of the dream (for much stress was
laid in the significance of dreams in
those days) but none could interpret
or explain it. The chief butler, who
had been in prison with Joseph then
remembered how Joseph had explain
ed his dream, and he called Phar
oah's attention to the matter with
the result that Joseph was called in
to explain the dreams, he saying in
effect that there were to be seven
years in which crops would grow
abundantly, and these should be fol
lowed by seven years of crop failure,
producing a veritable famine in the
end, and at the time the land would
be destitute of things to eat.
When the dreams had been ex
plained by Joseph, Pharoah reasoned
with himself who should be so wise
and capable of taking charge of the
preservation of the food supplies as
he who had just explained his dreams
and so Joseph was made ruler second
only to Pharoah himself and given
full power to arrange for the storing
lof food during the seven prosperous
years. He built storage places for
the grain which he purchased from
the rconle. and as the crops were
abundant and the grain cheap, it was
stored in large quantities in the bins
and pits that had been prepared to
house it.
Then came the drouth . and the
country began to be in want. The
drouth affected not alone Egypt, but
the surrounding country, and reach
ed to Cannan and pinched the family
of Jacob as well. They ran short of
something to eat and as rumor was
current that there was plenty of
grain in Egypt,, the sons of , Jacob,
with the exception of Benjamin,
came to Joseph, who treated them
roughly and accused them of coming
as spies that they might work some
injury to the government. Joseph
knew his brothers and was teaching
them a lesson for they were quarrel
ine Jews, rot knowing the correct
attitude to each other, their father or
to God.
Finally, after much t importunity
and explanation which Joseph already
knew, for he knew them and they
knew not him, he sold them the
needed grain and had their money
placed in their sacks, for them to take
home again. This was not all, for
he asked them about their father and
their younger brother, Benjamin, the
only full brother of Joseph, for the
others were only half brothers. He
also said unless you prove to me that
you are telling the truth and bring
your younger brother, you can not
see me nor get any more grain.
They went their way and when
they gotten a day's journey they pro
etded to open one of the bags to feed
the burrows which they had to carry
the bags on, and found the money in
the mouth of the sack. This alarmed
them, but they went home and as
they emptied their bags they found
all the purchase money. Then the
grain was consomed and they vere
needing more and Jacob said, "Go
again into Egypt and get some more
grain, or we shall starve." The boys
told their father that they must take
Benjamin or they would not even be
able to secure an audience with the
Master of Egypt. Much as Joseph
loved Benjamin and feared that some
harm would come to him, he was
forced, because the supplies were run
ning low. to reluctantly give his con
sent to allowing Benjamin to accom
pany the others into Egypt.
When they had come, Joseph had
in store for them a surprise and had
them dine with him. They were still
rather fearful, and in the arrange
ment of the table at the dinner, Ben
jamin was placed next to Joseph, and
given a much larger portion to eat
than the rest, which although it
looked strange to the other brothers,
they passed it up. They told Joseph
that some one had placed their pur
chase money in their bags of grain,
and that they had brought it back
with other money to pay for more
grain. They were supplied with the
grain and paid for same and depart
ed. They were only well on their
way when the officers came and ac
cused them of stealing Joseph's
divining cup.
Now, by instruction of Joseph, the
cup had been placed in the sack of
Benjamin, unknown to the broth
ers or any one other than the one
whom Joseph had instructed to place
it there.
Like when Leban came for the
images, when Jacob was leaving
Mesopotamia, the brothers said unto
the officers. "Search, and whoever
shall have stolen the cup, if any, let
him be your bondsman forever." The
search revealed the cup in the sack
of Benjamin. They were taken back,
and incident to thi3 is the text of
the lecson in this portion of the
Scriptures.

The septer shall not depart from

people. Binding his foal to the vine
and hio ass's colt unto the choice
vine, he washed his garment in wine
and his clothes in the blood of the
grapes. His eyes shall be red with
wine and his teeth white with milk."
We will incorporate here the text of
the lesson, as it is the best explana
tion of its own self which could pos
sibly Le made, and is in essence the
same spirit which Christ manifests
when he pleads for us, that we may
be delivered from the effects of our
transgressions, though Benjamin had
not sinned.
Genesis 44:18-34: "Then Judah
came near unto him and said, 'Oh,
my lord, let thy servant, I pray thee,
speak a word in my lord's ear, and
let not thine anger burn against thy
servant; for thou art even as Phar
oah. My Lord asked thy servants, say
ing 'Have you a father, or a brother?
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 is left alone
of his mother, and his father loveth
him.' And thou didst say unto thy
servants, 'Bring him down unto me,
that I may set my eyes upon him.'
And we said unto my lord, 'The lad
cannot leave his father, for if he
should leave his father, the father
would die." And thou sayest unto
thy servants, 'Except your younger
brother shall come down with you.
you shall see my face no more." And
it cameto pass when we came to thy
servant my father, we told him the
words of my lord. And our father
said. 'Go again and buy us a little
food.' And we said, 'If our younger
brother is with us, we will go down;
for we may not see the man's face
except our youngest brother be with
us.' And thy servant, our father,
said unto us, 'Ye know that my wife
didst bear me two sons, and the one
went out from me, and I said, surely
he is torn to pieces, and I have not
seen him since, and if you take this
one also from me, and harm befall
him, ye will bring down my gray
hairs in sorrow to the grave." Now
therefore, when I come to thy servant
my father, and the lad is not with us,
seeing that his life is bound up in
the lad's life, it will surely come to
pass when he seeth that the lad is
not with us, he will die, and thy ser
vant will bring down the gray hairs
of thy servant our father with sorrow
to the grave, for thy servant became
3urety for the lad unto our father,
saying, 'If I bring him not unto thee,
then shall I bear the blame to my
father forever.' Now therefore let
thy servant, I pray thee, abide instead
of the lad, a bondsman to my lord;
and let the lad go with his brethren.
For how shall I go to my father, if
the lad be not with me, lest I see
the evil which shall come to my
father?"
Joseph could not restrain himself
and commanding those of the Egypt
ians to leave, he wept aloud, so much
so that he was heard over the entire
palace of Pharoah. He then com
manded the brothers all to come near
him and said, "I am Joseph, whom
you sold into Egypt. You need not
be angry with yourselves, for God
did send me here to preserve life.!

me here, but God. Hasten home and
bring your father down here, and I
will provide you all a place to live,
as well as something to eat during
the five years of famine which are
yet to be."
They did as he commanded, and
thus was begun the long period of
Egyptian bondage, of which wo shall

FBEE SUPERVISED PLAY
GB0UNDS FOB PLATTSMOUTH
From W'cdnesilay's Lailr
Through the efforts of the Central
Parent-Teachers association, Platts
mouth will have a free supervised
play ground at the Central Building
oil High School Hill for six wr.eks,
beginning on Monday, June 21st.
The movement for supervised
r-y grounds has been rapidly grow
ing during the last few years, and
where it has been given a fa'.r tiil
In? leer no-juerfully ucce'il n
a number of ways.
The aim of the supervision in play
is to give growing boys and girls high
ideals of sportsmanship and to teach
them the principles of fair play and
co-operation.
A number of Nebraska towns have
started supervised play grounds this
years, our neighboring city to the
south, Nebraska City, being one of
them." What other cities can" do,
Plattsmouth can do, but the help and
co-operation of everyone is needed.
Miss Cordelia Fields were will be
the supervisor of Plattsmouth's play
grounds. The people of Platsmouth
are familiar with the fine work of
Miss Fields as a teacher in the First
ward school, and are fortunate
in securing her for this work. She
will be assisted by a number of the
young people of our schools, who
have had some training, also by some
of our young people who are home
from college for their summer vaca
tions. For the girls there will be hand
work such as sewing and basket
work taught in addition to the games
and physical training.
There will be baseball, volley ball
and tennis for boys in addition to
their calisthenics and physical train
ing work.
The physical work will be carried
out along the lines of Mr. Wood
ward's work in the schools during
the past year, which every one knows
has been a fine thing for our child
ren. The school board has been very
willing to co-operate aifd has al
lowed us the use of the grounds.
Central Building, also balls and nets
secured for the physical education
classes in the schools.
All children under 10 are invited
to come in. the morning from 9 to
12, and all children 10 years or over
in the afternoon from 1 to 5. Chil
dren, this is absolutely free, and
everyone is welcome, so come and
enjoy this play ground. Parents, will
you not co-operate with us to make
Plattsmouth's supervised play ground
a success?
June 20 is Father's Day You will
find a mighty fine line of greeting
cards at the Bates Book and Station
