TO. TOPWA TATLY STATE J0URNA1-SATURDAY EVENING. MAY 31, 1913- 13 When Brothers Stood by Brother. The International Sunday School Les son for June 1 Is "Joseph Tests His Brethren." Gen. 44. (BT WILLIAM T. ELLIS.) Often perverted through it is, there Is something noble about the "gang spirit" of which we are reading in the newspapers. The determination not to betray a comrade, which is the highest code f the gang, takes its rise from an altogether creditable senti ment. The opposite side of the shieil Is the Spartan spirit of the judge who condemns his own son for law-breaking. This the undiscerning do not see. The New York hoodlums who are goins to jail rather than betray a fellow criminal do not reckon with the rela tive value of principles. They see only the idea of a lower loyalty, and :T.?j blind to the higher loyalty to public , welfare. The average politician binds I hi followers to him by this sam nirtt of fidelity. He stands by hi. friends, throueh thick and thin. Mere of the same spirit of family allegiance In religious matteiv would De wen 'oi the rhlirch. The theme is brought forward by the story of today's Sunday School les son, which deals with a group of men who. in an emergency, were not false to the call of loyalty. The ten brethren of Joseph, when put by him to a dra matic test, showed themselves stead fast to the ties of blood. In brave self abnegation they offered to share the suffering of tiie brother who seemed to be guilt v of a crime. The qualities '.f sheer manhood appeared in the conduct of these sons of Jacob. The years had been teaching them much. The Mystery of the Bags. The mysterious ruler of Kgypt had. all unknown to them, large plans for the eleven ien from Canaan. He could not yet reveal to them that he was the brother whom they had sold into slavery. It was necessary first to test their fitness for this new fortune that he had prepared for them. We never know when we are being proved for what is beine prepared tor us Kvery day may be a judgment day in a wav we little understand. In this case everything hinged on Benjamin, the youngest child. He, like Joseph, was the favorite son of father Jacob, the only child of the beloved Kachael left at home. Joseph had good reason to know the lengths to which jealously of the older brothers couH go. But they had changed for the bet ter. He had proved that they could treat Benjamin well in the long journey from Canaan. Now he wanted to nnJ out how they would behave in an emer gency, when Benjamin's name and safety were imperiled. Would they make the youngest brother a scape goat, and leave him to his fate? Or would they play the brother part? Therefore, as he sent the party back to Canaun with their bags laden with food, he had each man's money re turned to his bag, and in the bag of Benjamin his own cup was placed. Then, a few hours afterwards, he sent his steward in pursuit of the men to charge them with a theft of his cup. The Hidden Cup. The sons of Jacob had scarcely got outside of the city on their homeward journey. They were full of stories .f their great adventure. The glamour of the ruler's presence was upon them. Their incredible good fortune was dis cussed over and over from all angles. Not only had they seen the lord of the land, but they had even dined with him.' Thus they were bearing back to Canaan not only sufficient food for their families, but also a rich tale that would open the eyes of those left be hind. The high spirits of the caravan were suddenly dashed by the appearance of Joseph's steward, who came hastening up on horseback, follow ed by a retinue. As he drew near he made sharp ac cusation that these men had stolen Joseph's precious cup. At once arose the oriental clamor which all travelers in the east know. Jacob's sons made extravagant protestations of innocence. They bpurned the idea that any one of them was a thief, and they re minded the steward how they had re turned the silver which they had found In their bags on the previous trip. "With whomsoever of thy servants It be found, let him die, and we also will be my loro's bondmen." This was tru usage of the harsh law of Ham murabi current at the time. Death for stealing still prevails in some parts of the world. "Circumstantial Kvidenec." Many a man has been hanged on vidence far less than that which convicted Benjamin of theft. An ex amination revealed in the b:igs of the tell ol'ier brothers the money they had raid, but in the sack of lic-njamin. which was last searched, there was might come to any one of the group. This was brotherhood in the proof. Never daeaming that the judge and the brother were one, and that he was making his plea to a heart which was bursting with a desire to reveal itseit, Judah became the advocate of his brother, and an antetype of his own Descendant whom humanity worships as its Advocate. A Man at His Height. Why does the world accept a cross as its noblest symbol? Because in its deepest heart it knows that not self-seeking but self-sacrifice is the subliniest height that the human soul can reach. Whether it bo the exam ple of the old pagan who offers him self for Rome; or the present-day pagan who offers his life for China; or the Apostle Paul willing to be accursed for his brothers' sake; or Jesus freely giving of his life as a sacrifice for the ."-in of the world, we recognize that these in vaiying degrees arethe saviours and exemplars of mankind. Whoever denies himself and offers up his life in behalf of another is touched with the very spirit of the divine Redeemer. Thus Judah offered himself. As he stood before Joseph, reciting in simple eloquence the .tory of their experience, he reached a height of exultation like unto Calvary. He pleaded with Joseph to allow him to suffer instead of Ben jamin that Benjamin might be return ed to the arms of Jacob. Is it any wonder that the speech became more than the Judge could bear? The broth ers had proved themselves. They had become new men. In adversity they had learned that it is only worth while to stand by the great ideals, and to stand by one another. "The Bible- The Man With a Book. Terse Comments for June 1, Ideal Christian, VI. His study." Deut. 6:1-9. (BT WILLIAM T. ELLIS.) Over the great fireplace in the hall of the library of t'nion Theological seminary, Richmond, is the inscrip tion, "There is but one book." The quotation, as is well known, is the ut terance of Sir Walter Scott when he was dying, and asked for "the book." Mohammed distinguished Jews and Christians as people having "the reli gion of the book." The Bible is not only inwrought with Christian his tory, and in.-r parable from it, but it is also a vital factor in the life of the in dividual Christian and in the extension of the church. The faith that is not founded on "the impregnable rock of Holy Scriptures" as Gladstone called it, is not a sure and living and growing faith. Christianity is more than a philo sophical speculation: it is a divine revelation, the mind of the eternal made known to mortals through the inspired Scriptures. Given a Christian who loves the Bible, and studies it, and we have one who is ever growing toward that ideal lire oi which Jesus Christ is the ex emplar. For we grow in grace by growing in the knowledge of the Lord. was 428,000 copies. The total annual issues of Scriptures are over nineteen million volumes. "Twenty-seven Bible Societies are printing the Bible; one in the United States, three in Great Britain and 2 3 on the European "continent." General Robert E. Lee once gave mis personal testimony to the place of the Scriptures in the life of a man of anairs: "The Bible is a book in comparison with which all others, in my eyes, are or minor importance and which in all my perplexities and distresses has never fails to give me light and strength.".

John 5.26. Did not Jesus here claim that He had immortality as a man? (Malcolm,) Answer. If Christ the Lord, in the flesh as the "man Christ Jesus," had actually possessed immortality. Ho could not have died for the world and thus given Himself "a ransom for all." One who is immortal could not die. Adam as a perfect man had forfeited nis nte through disobedience. To ''c deem him, and all his posterity, who were involved in the death sentence, it was necessary that another per fect man should lay down his life as a corresponding price. This our Lord Jesus did when He died, "poured out His soul unto death." and went into the tomb from which He was raised ine tnira clay, according to the Scrip tures. Therefore, in view of this the plain teachings of the Bible, we at forced to conclude that when Jesus gave expression to the above quoted words, He did not actually have in herent life, immortality, but that it was by his faith, as the Father had promised that He should receive it in exchange for His human nature which He gave up when He died on Calvary. f."- k.

Q Our Lord used things that were real and which actually existed to illustrate -His teachings, such as sheep, goats, stones, soldiers, etc. Therefore, was it not actually a rich man in hell and in torment that He used for an illustration1' (Sunny Jim.) Answer. The story of "The Rich Man and the Poor Man" as found in the six teenth chapter of the Gospel of Luke is strictly speaking, not a parable. It may be classified as a prophetic narrative based upon fictitious conditions. Just as the exaggerated and abnormal statements of Revelation are used to outline the only 0f course oi ruiure events; so the Lord yiyinicin.au.v uiununieu m mis story me change in the circumstances and condi tions that would arise in the experiences of the Jews (the Rich Man) and the Gen tiles (the Poor Man). Perhaps no other story ever given has been so foolishly misapplied as this one. To take it in its ting forth a mass of meaningless gib berish. Why any one should so far neglect the use of reason and common sense as to suppose that a poor man at death would immediately be gathered to Abraham's bosom, and that a rich man would immediately go to a literal place of fire and brimstone, is inexplicable. One could just as reasonably understand Rev elation 17:9, literally. . Q- In Leviticus we read that fire came out from before the Lord, when the sacri fices were being offered on the Atonement Day in connection with the Tabernacle rites and services, and consumed the burnt offering. Did the fire come out from the Most Holy or did it come down from Heaven? And did the people out in the camp see the fire consume the offer ing? (Smoker.) Answer. The presence of the Lord God was indicated to the people of Irael by the cloudy pillar during the day and the pillar of fire at night. This pITlar was supposed to rest directly over the "Most Holy" of the Tabernacle structure. In all probability, the fire came from this pillar of the Presence when the burnt offer ing was consumed in the close of the atonement day after the sacrifices of the sin offerings had been made. The fire would not come from the Most Holy, but would come direct from the pillar resting upon the Tabernacle. This consuming of the burnt offering in this remarkable manner was intended to show the divine, acceptance of the sacrifices which had been presented by the high priest to make atonement for the sins of the people. This manifestation of the Lord's accept ance of the sacrifices was for all the people, as we read "And there came a fire out from before the Lord, and con sumed upon the altar the burnt offering and the fat: , which when all the people saw, they shouted and fell upon their faces." Q. If those who were once enlightened, and made partakers of the holy spirit, and tasted of the good word of God, (Hebrews 6:4-6) go into the "second death" when they die; how can "all that are in their graves hear the voice of the Son of Man and come forth?" John 5:28-28. (F. G. E.) Answer. The word "grave" in the last text cited is from the Greek mnemeion. and signifies memory or remembrance. Thus we would understand that all of the dead race of mankind who are held in the Heavenly Father's remembrance, will come forth in the morning of the resur rection at the voice of the Son of Man. There are some, however, who will not be held in remembrance by the Father, and these will not be awakened from the sleep of death. During this present Christian era some are begotten of the holy spirit ("made partakers of the holy spirit"); having passed from death unto life, they become "new creatures in Christ Jesus". These having been delivered by faith from the Adamic sentence of death, and begin ning the new life, if they do despite to the spirit of grace and deny the Lord that bought them, will go into the "second death," from which there is no resurrec tion. Q. Five priests were appointed to typi cal sacrifices (Exodus 28:1.) Later two were destroyed. Are we to understand this as illustrating the proportion of the fmti tvpical priests that go into the "second death"? (Minn.) Answer. It would be Impossible to de cide this matter from the Scriptures, as there are not sufficient data furnished with which to reach a definite conclusion. The Bible states that there will be a great multitude before the divine throne of God, and that a selected company, the Church of Christ, will on the throne. Many have been anointed of the holy spirit to be kings priests unto God and to reign over the world of mankind during the thousand years of Messiah's dominion on the earth, but only the "little flock," the "con querors and more than conquerors" will make their "calling and election sure." The typical arrangement was designed to illustrate the general conditions existing in the present dispensation, and not to in dicate the numbers or proportions of the different classes. Just as the great multi tude, which will be privileged to stand be fore the throne, is formed of a number whose quantity no man knoweth, (Revela tion 7:9) thus it will be as to the number of those who go into the second death. closing June 8.

It is scarcely too much to say that the person who has re garded the Bible merely as a collec tion of texts and maxims has failed to found the silver cuo of Joseph.

The point of the story is the con duct of the older brothers. How wouid they behave in this emergency? Would they leave Benjamin to his fate, and hasten off toward Canaan with the food? This was what Joseph wanted to know. That they were determined to share Benjamin's sorrow and pun ishment appeared on the instant. "Then they rent their clothes. and ladeo ' every man his ass. and returned to the city." "When Jiulsre and Brother Are One." Trouble proves who is who. In this testing hour we find Judah stepping into the place of the head of the fam ily .as sponsor and spokesman for the whole group. --. new dignity rests upon him. His words before Joseoh are those of a strong man. Listen to the beauty of the simple speech, even as translated into English: "What shall we say unto 'lny lora? what shall we speak? or how shall we clear ourselves? God hath found out the iniquity of thy ser vants: behold, we are my lord's bond men, both we. and he also in whose hand the cup is found." can this oe the Judah whose voice were read week, a year or two being consumed in reading the whole? The idea is absurd. Well, then, let us take those same letters in the same way, each in its completeness, at one sitting. Only thus can we get the inspired writer's message, with its horizons. Instead of a few verses a day," or in addition thereto, the Christian should make it a praceice to read at least one com plete book of the Bible every week, and at a single sitting. A few "helps" to Bible study are almost indispensable to the student who is not familiar with the original tongues of the Scriptures, or with Bi ble times and lands. A Bible diction ary, a concordance and a commentary are a simple, inexpensive library. The place which the Bible holds in the business of literature is set forth by this quotation from "The Literary Digest": "It is conservatively stated that more copies of the Bible were sold last year of any other hundred books of the world combined.
