SABBATH SCHOOL
INTERNATIONAL LESSON FOR
APRIL 8.
Lesson Text: “ Discord In Jacob’s
Family,” Gen. xxxtl., 1 11—
Golden Text: Gen. xlv.,
24 —Commentary.
1. “And Jacob dwelt in the land wherein
his father was a stranger, in the land of
Canaan.” The margin says, "In the land of
his father's sojournings.” God sooke of
Abraham as a stranger in the land, and
Abraham spoke of himself as a stranger and
a David sojourner (Gen.'xvii., 8 ; xxiii.. 4). So also
in I Chron. xxix., 16. Compare I Pet.
ii., heaven It. If we are Christ’s, we are citizens of
(Phil, iii., 20, 21), but shall reign on
the earth when the kingdom comes (Rev.
vening v., 9, 10). chapters The principal since last events lesson in the inter¬
are the re
conciliation with Esau, another appearance
of God to Jacob and tho death and burial of
Isaac, Rachel and Deborah.
2. “These are the generations ol Jacob.
Joseph, ing the flock being with seventeen his brethren, years old, was feed¬
and Joseph
brought unto his father their evil report.”
This Is the tenth time that we have met in
this book the phrase, “These are the gen¬
erations,” and it is the last time. Joseph
and Benjamin wero ihe younger sons of
Jacob, and both were the children of his be¬
loved Rachel, who died when Benjamin w I
borp that the (chapter xxxv., Joseph’s 18, 19). It would seem
conduct of brethren was
not commendable, and that he brought his
father word to that effect.
8 “Now Israel loved Joseph more that all
his children, because he was tho son of his
old age, and he made him a coat of many
colors.” Of all tho sons of Jacob tho two
most honored by Jehovah wero Judah and
Joseph, for from Judah came the Messiah,
and the birthright was Joseph’s (I Chron. v.,
2). how See in verses 34, 35 of our lesson chap¬
ter great was Jacob's love to this son,
and how he refused to be comforted when he
thought him dead.
4. “And whonhis brethren saw their father
loved him more than all his brethren, they
hated him and could not speak peaceably unto
him.” Joseph was in many respects a won¬
drous type of God’s well beloved Son, Jesus,
our Saviour. Observe him hated and separ¬
ated from his brethren (Gen. xlix., 23, 26;
Deut. xxxiii,, 16), and think of Jesus hated
without a cause (Ps. xxxv., 19;lxix.,4;
John xv., 25). Those brethren make us think
of the elder brother in Luke xv., but the
practical part is for us, if ever hated with¬
out a cause, to think of Jesus and rejoice in
the privilege of fellowship with Him (I Pet.
ii., 19-21).
6. “And Joseph dreamed a dream, and he
told it his brethren, and they hated him yet
the more.” Joseph does not seem as yet to
have known his brothers’ hatred, and in the
simplicity of his heart he told them hia
dream. We have already read of God com¬
ing to Abimelech, to xxxi., Jacob and to Laban in
a dream (xx., 8 ; 11, 24), and in Job
xxxiii., dreams 14, 15, we read visions, that God speaks to
men in and if by any means
He may turn them from their pride and the
ruin to which it leads. There is not the same
need for him to speak in dreams now that
we have the whole word of God, yet we
wmuld not like to say that he never tells any
thing in dreams any more.
6. “And he said unto them, Hear, I pray
you, this dream which I have dreamed.” It
must have deeply impressed Joseph and
made him anxious to tell it. When we have
the sure how word of God concerning all coming
events, is it that we aro so little im¬
pressed it? by it, and therefore so slow to speak
of It must be simply unbelief on our
part, or else willful ignorance, for as surely
as Joseph s dreams were in due time ful
filled so shall every word of God be fulfilled.
Sec Isa. xiv., 24 ; xlvi, 9, 10 ; Ps. xxxiii., 10,
11.
7. “For behold; we were binding sheaves
in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also
stood upright, and behold, made your sheaves
stood round about and obeisance to my
sheaf. ” The significance ol the dream seems
simple enough and it the seemed brethren evidently
understood it. but very unlikely to
be fulfilled. The sons of Jacob were doubt¬
less familiar with the fact that God had
spoken to their father aud to Laban in a
dream, and Joseph probably him. believed that
God had now spoken to When any
word of God takes hold of us as the very
voice of God to our souls, we are not apt
or still about
8. “And his brethren said to him, Shalt
thou indeed reign over us? or shalt thou in¬
deed have dominion over me? And they
hated him yet the more for his dreams and
for his words.” Their hatred did not affect
the dream nor its fulfillment, but only them¬
selves, neither has the hatred of the Jews to
their brother Jesus affected the fulfillment of
the sure word of God that He shall sit on
David’s throne and reign over the house of
Jacob forever (Isa. ix.,7 ; Luke i., 32, 33),
but it has seriously affected themselves and
will until they bow before Him in true peni¬
tence (Zeeh. ix.. 10;xiii.. 1).
9. “And he dreamed yet another dream
and told it to his brethren, and said, Behold,
I have dreamed a dream and more, the and, behold,
the sun, and the moon, eleven stars
made ODeisance to me,” Here is the same
revelation with an enlargement including
father and mother. The dream being dou¬
bled would prove that it was established hy
God, and thut He would bring it to pass ;xn.,
32). And we know that it eamo to pass.
When I read in Rev. xii. the record of the
woman clothed with the sun, the moon un¬
der her feet, and on her bead a crown ol
twelve stars. I associate that vision with this
dream and think that the man child of that
chapter will prove to be a first fruits from
Israel in the time of the great tribulation,
which with the church as a first fruits from
all nations and both identified with Christ
will form the complete man child to rule al.
nations. In due time we shall see.
10. “And he told it to his father and to
his brethren, and his father rebuked him
and said unto him : What is this dream that
thou hast dreamed? Shall I and thy mother
and thy brethren indeed come to bow down
oursolvos to thee to the earth?” His fattier
saw the interpretation, and it went some¬
what against the grain, but he lived to see it
alt fulfilled, and when he and his sons be¬
came thoroughly humbled before this same
Joseph then it was well with them and they
prospered. So shall it be with the Jews and
Jesus. It is hard to humble, but all who
walk in pride shall be made to come down
(Dan. iv., 37 ; v., 20 margin). See also Isa.
ii.. 11, 17 ; JOB. iv., 10 ; I Pet. v. 6.
11. “And his brethren envied Stephen him, but said his
father observed the oaying.” they sold him into
that, moved with envy, “Love
Egypt (Acts vii., 9). Paul says.
envleth not” (I Cor. xii., 4). In I Pet. ii., 1,
we are told to lay envy aside. It was well
for his father to observe the saying, but had
he believed it he might have found comfort
when led to suppose that Joseph was dead.

Mether and daughter were arrested

the state was represented by It. B.
Russell, solicitor general, and defend¬

or’s house. They wore driven oft' by
the guards after a hot fight in which
many citizens and a few soldiers were
injured. They then went to the docks
and cut the hawsers of a steamer be¬
longing to the company, turning her
adrift.
A woman was arrested in Memphis

wife of Jacob Rosenberg, who lived
seven miles from Helena, Ark. Site
had an attack of brain fever three
years ago and bad been subject ever
since to spells of loss of memory. She
would not tell when she left home, or
how she had traveled to Memphis,
and made no objection to being sent
to tho asylum for the insane, only
stipulating that her husband be noti¬
fied, and that she be permitted to keep
her babe.
Coxey on the March.
A crank, enjoying the sweet cyna
men of J. S. Coxey, and the military
title of “general,” has been adver¬
tising a design, born of his fruitful
fancy, to march upon Washington
with an army of half a million of the
unemployed. In pursuance of his
scheme ho appointed Massillan, O., as
I he piaco for the assemby of his fol¬
lowers. Two hundred tramps and
cranks having met there, have been or.
gauized. They encamped in a circus
tent. Their first meal, supplied by
Coxey, consisted of crackers and tea,
without trimmings. The name as¬
sumed is “The Army of the Common¬
weal,” and the crank general expects
it to gather numbers as it goes until
he sits down on the steps of the capi¬
tal at Washington with half a million
horny-footed knights of the road.
