' B. "And all the souls that come out of
the loins of Jacob were seventy souls, for
with Gen. xlvi, 28, 27, and Dent. x, 22.
Stephen’s statement that Joseph called 75
tohim in Egypt (Acts vii, 14) is no dis-
crepancy, for he includes all his kindred,
wh ch would take in Jacob's sons’ wives,
who were not included in the 70. See Gen.
xivi, 2d The word of God is infallible.
‘ 6. “And Joseph died, and all his breth-
ren, and all that generation.” We are re—
minded of the eight times repeated “And
he died” of Gen. v, end of Iieb. ix, 27.
“It is appointed unto men once to die.”
But we remember that two men have been
excused from keeping this appointment,
Enoch and Elijah, and all believers alive
on the earth at the coming of Christ will
not sleep, but bechanged in a moment and
caught up to meet Him in the air (I Cor.
xv, 51, 52; I These. iv, 16-18).
7. “And the children of Israel were
fruitful and increased abundantly and
multiplied and waxed exceeding mighty,
and the land was filled with them." God
had said to Jacob, “Fear not to go down
into Egypt, for I will there make of thee
a great nation" (Gen. xlvi, 3'). And He
had done it according to His word, for
“Hath He said, and shall lie not do it?
or hath Iiespoken, and shall lie not make
it good" (Sum. xaiii, ill)? When such
increase is seen in all the earth, then shall
Can. i, 28, be obeyed and the blessing of
the Lord be made manifest. Confidence
in God and obedience to His word will al-
ways bring showers of blessing.
8. “Now, there arose in new king over
Egypt, which knew not Joseph.” That
was not the worst of it, for his own testi-
mony was. “i know not Jehovah" (Ex. v,
2). In this he was surely guilty, for he
could not help knowing about Joseph, and
the God of J oscph, and the great deliver-
ance wrought by God through Joseph for
his land and people. The presence of these
children of Israel in his land was a wit
nose on behalf of Joseph and his God.
, 9. “And herald unto his people, Behold,
the people of the children of Israel are
more and mightier than we." This is equal
to a confession that he knew Joseph in the
sense of knowing all about him and his
people, but he was determined not to ac-
knowledge any obligation to Joseph or
these his people. This is the sense in
which those who have heard the gospel
know not God. They will not regard Him
nor acknowledge their obligation to Him. ,
10. “Come on, let us deal wisely with l
them, lest they multiply, and it come to l
pass that when there falieth out any war 5
they join also unto our enemies and fight
against us and so get them up out of the
land.” He in his wisdom would fight
against the very thing God had said He
would do, “I will surely bring thee up
again” (Gen. xlvi. 4). Satan's way is to
go directly against God, as in the begin—
ning, when (ind said, “Thou shalt surely
die, " the serpent said, “Ye shall not surely
die."
ll. “Therefore they did set over them
taskmasters to afflict them with their bur-
dens. And they built for Pharaoh treas-
ure cities, Pithom and Resumes." This
also had been foreseen and foretold, for
God had said toAbrnm thstin the strange
land his seed should be afflicted, but that
afterward he would bring them out with
great substancefllen. xv, 13, 1-1). Itseems

12. "But the more they afflicted them
the more they multiplied and grew. And
they were grieved because of the children
of Israel." Thus the Lord laughed at
man’s eiiorts to frustrate His purpose. it
is so with the word of God, and with the
church, and with the individual Christian.
The more persecution the more it grows;
the'thore we die the more we live. “Em
eept a corn of wheat fall into the ground
and .fiie it shideth alone, but if it die it
bringeth forth much fruit” (John all, lit .

Hawthorne usedrto say, “God may for.
give sins, but awkwardness has no for-
giveness in heaven or in earth.” If for
awkwardness we substitute undue can-
dor, we might still be speaking temper-
ately. You do not invite to the christen-
ing the caller who looked kindly but
firmly at your pretty baby and said she
thought this child would be rather good
looking, as he resembled his father‘s fam-
ily. It may be safely said that the per-
son who assures us that we have fallen
oi! five years in one will never be dear
in memory. She has spoken the truth,
but from hmxceforth we shun her as if
she were a modern Sapphire. If we
feel self elected to tell our friends the
unpleasant things which have been said.
no matter how truthfully, about them-
selves or those dear to them. we must
expect to share in the odiu'm of the mes—

By the laws of some occult science not
