I. Joseph Discloses His Identity to
His Brethren (vv. i:t).
! treated his hrethren har-hly ut
flr' his purpose helnj; to ascertain as
to whether they were the same cruel,
heartless men as heOire, and to
pro'luce penitence In their hearts'. They
kecily felt their guilt anil heartily re
ppti'iMl of their folly. Judah'.s pathetic
npi"al overcame his apparent harsh'
ncv cauMn him to disclose his Iden
tlt.v HrltiK unahlt to restrain Ills pent
up motions he orders every one from
Ids presence. This act on the part of
Josiph tronhled them; It ought to luivo
mii'te them glad. Their sins prevented
It Im'Ihe ii time of Joy for them. This
inoM beautifully Illustrates Christ's
denllng with his hrethren, the .lews.
Just as they who had rejected him and
Fold him were compelled to como to
hi in for aid, so when the great tribula
tion comes, Christ's hrethren, the Jews,
will cry unto him for aid (I)anlel 0:27;
32:1; Matthew 21:21 ; Zecharlah 12:10
34). Joseph dealt severely with his
brethren to test them and bring them
to repentance. So Christ will do with
the .lews (Hoscn firiri; Hzeklel 22:10
22. As Joseph's love was behind Ills
hnrMi exnctlngs, so back of Christ's
treatment of the Jews will he his great
love for them.
II. Joseph's Efforts to Assuaoe the
Grief of His Brethren (vv. 4-8).
When Joseph'revealed himself to his
brethren, the remembrance of their
sins pierced them through. Joseph's
first question was about his father.
This shows thnt Ills desire was to put
their thoughts far away from their
crime, lie Invited them to come nenr
unto him, and assured them God bad
overruled their crime In sending him
for their salvntion. They meant it for
evil, but it was part of God's plan for
good. Tills does not excuse thdm from
the guilt of the sin. In some future,
time Christ will become reconciled to
his brethren, the Jews, nnd be their
Savior and benefactor (Isaiah 11:10
30). Peter, on the day of Pentecost,
showed that the Jews' treatment of
Christ was such, and thnt God's over
ruling providence bnd turned It out
for good. Just ns Egypt was obliged
to c,ome to Joseph for sustenance and
become servants for Pharaoh through
him (Genesis -17:l.J-20), so will nil tho
world yet coiue to Christ for bis bless
ing, and be reconciled to God through
him (Islalnh 2:2-1; 11:10; Psalms
72:7-17; Zocliarlnh 11:10).
III. Joseph Sent His Brethren With
Good News to his Father (vv. 0-lfi).
As soon ns Joseph's brethren knew
him and were reconciled to him, they
wero sent with the glad tidings to
their fnther. lie assured tljem that ho
would nourish them and thnt they
should be near him. They wore direct
ed to tell of his glory. Jacob would
not hnvo mourned the death of Joseph
had he known of his glory. lie now
gave them tho kiss of reconciliation
nnil they wero permitted to talk with
him. Reconciliation precedes communion.
An International Service Built
on Tiny Profits Per Pound
Some industries have been able to get in
step with war demands more quickly than
others.
In many cases mighty plants have sprung
up but at a prodigious cost.
The packing industry was able to adapt
itself to unheard of demands more quickly,
perhaps, than any other industry. ' And this
was because the vast equipment of packing
plants, refrigerator cars, branch houses, etc.,
had been gradually developed to its present
state of efficiency, so that in the crucial hour
it became a mighty international system for
war service.
And how had this development taken place?
Not by making vast inroads into the capi
tal wealth of the country, but largely by using,
from year to year, a portion of the profits, to
provide for expansion.
Swift & Company's profits have always been so
tiny, compared with sales, that they have had practic
ally no effect on the price of meat (amounting to only
a fraction of a cent per pound).
And yet the owners of the business have been
content with reasonable returns on their capital, and
have- been able, year after year, to put part of the
profits back into the business to provide for its
expansion.
These fractions of tiny profits have been repaid to
to the public many fold in the form of better service,
and better and cheaper meat, and made it possible for
Swift & Company to meet, undaunted, the . sudden
cry for meat for overseas.
Could any other method o'f financing a vital
industry involve less hardship to the people of the
country? Could there be a better instance of true
"profit-sharing" than this return in added usefulness
and in national preparedness ?

Faith Must Show Itself.
If tho church Is salt, then the church
must bo different from the world
around it. If the church Is light, then
the church must be unlike those who
have not committed themselves to tho
leadership of Christ. When Chris
thins sny the same tilings which un
believers 6ny, und do the same things
which scoffeis da, they cease to be n
lenvenlng forco In society. If faith
in Christ Is to have any meaning, it
must show itself in the erentlon of n
new tj-pe of mini, A Christian should
hnvo something In him not to be found
In liny other human being. Unless ho
Ic more In disposition, nlm nnd son
duct thnn those around him, ho Is not
giving tho world tho impulse or guid
ance which humanity is In need of.

RelUf Not Burden.
A yoke Is not nn Instrument of tor
ture; It Is an Instrument of mercy.
It is not a malicious contrivance for
making work hard ; It Is n gentle de
vice to mnke hard labor light. And
yet men speak of the yoke of Christ '
ns If It were u slavery, and look upon '
those who wear It ns objects of com-.,
