SYCAMORE, IRWIN COUNTY, CA., APRIL 6, 1894. 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.

Farrell of Thacker, W. Va., was called from his residence and shot fatally at midnight. Parties in Chattanooga have in store 300,000 bushels of wheat. The recent advance gives them a profit of $15,000. The jury in the ease of the State vs. Ratlifl', who killed Jackson at Kosius ko, Miss,, brought in a verdict of not guilty. Charles W. Williams, son of a New York banker, while hunting near Fe¬ licia, Texas, was accidentally shot and killed. D. B. Smith’s slave factory at Rives, Tenn,, was burned. Loss, $100,000. Many workmen were thrown out of employment. The plant of the Memphis Lumber company, Tennessee, was burned, with an estimated loss of $100,000, partly insured. Henry Jackson, a negro, in the act of stealing fowls about 3 o’clock on a recent morning, was shot and killed by John Hostctter, at Lexington, Ky. A group of twenty men organized at Dallas, Texas, for Coxoy’s army. They expect, to join Frye’s regiment, now en route from San Antonio, some where east of Vicksburg. An serounaut went up at Cannes, France, swinging on ropes attached to a balloon. At the height of 1,500 feet he fell and plunged down into the buy, from which his lifeless body was taken. The supreme court of Colorado has decided against Governor Waite on the questions submitted relative to his power in removing or appointing mem¬ bers of the fire and police boards of Denver. Efforts to organize a contingent for Coxey’s “army of peace,” in Balti¬ more, Md., resulted in the assembly of forty or fifty weary walkers at, a saloon where they were fed by one John Janilzkn. At 1 Inladelphia one Jones, profess ing to hold a commission from G’oxov, had collected about forty men at the rooms of the Sunday Breakfast Asso uiation. A reporter could find but seven who proposed to march with the army. The telegraphic reports give a gloomy picture of disaster aud damage fever all the south from the late freeze.

Judge Parker has granted an order for the sale of the Georgia Pacific railroad in Atlanta, Ga., on a day to be set by the special master, Ed. A. Angier, The order was made on the application of tlie Cculral Trust Com¬ pany, of New York. The site lias been graded and men are at work laying the foundations of new car shops at Binghampton, a suburb of Memphis, Tenn , where 800 men will be employed. This means a population of about 3,300, to be sup¬ ported by the new industry. At Brownstown, W. Va., Charles Rice and Bab and Lundon Snodgrass, in Lavdon’s saloon, were fighting. Laydon attempted to separate them and was fatally shot and cut. liice was shot and cut, and it is thought his wounds are fatal. Tho Snodgrass brothers rode away, and a posse was organized to pursue them. Two negro grave diggers, George McWhorten and Watt Mitchell, en¬ gaged in a quarrel in the cemetery at Montgomery and McWhorten crushed Mitchell’s bead with a spade. Mc¬ Whorten, who was arrested, pleads - self defense, and it appears that there is reasonable ground for the plea, as his antagonist was advancing on him with a knife. Robbers entered tho house of Basil D. Hall, a wealthy farmer at Great Bend, West Va., who had recently sold his farm and receivod $5,000, which he had in tho honse, tied him in a chair and burned his hands and one oar to a crisp with a lamp, com¬ pelling him to deliver the $5,000, his watch and other valuables.

Randall, a saloon-keeper, on the night of Christ¬ mas, 1892 Recently his trial resulted in ft verdict of murder in the second degree, fixing Ihe penalty at twenty years in ihe penitentiary. It is said that Raudie has spent over $50,000 iu tils defense Hc gave $5,000 to the I widow of his victim. The case will go to the supreme court. Laier reports m>in 'O'ao say that (lie Army of Iho Commonweal left Massillon on schedule time, with about seventy-live men in line, and went into camp at Canton with fifty. At night the majority of these applied for and obtained lodgings in the city prison. The avowed object of the movement is to petition congress to employ the idle in building roads, and to issue money direct to the people in payment for public improvement. Judge Glynn of the district court at Denver, Kansas, in tlie proceedings lor contempt instituted by Police Commissioners Martin and Orr against the mayor and (he new commissioners Barnes and Mullins, dissolved (lie in. junction and dismissed the contempt proceeds, on the ground that the in¬ junction was illegally based, and decided that Barnes and Mullins, the governor’s new appointees, arc de jure and de facto entitled to the offices, {jo Gov. Wuilo wins at last. Maj. Thomas II. Dunn, well-known in Georgia and Alabama as a member of the firm of Dunn Bros., contrac¬ tors, who constructed a targe part of the Georgia Pacific railroad, and built the Birmingham water works, was killed by robbers near Llano, Texas, while going to Oliver mines, of which he rvas manager, with money to pay off the hands. E. J. and T. C. Dunn of Birmingham, brothers of the de¬ ceased, on receiving the sad intelli¬ gence, left for the scene of tho crime. Near Finlay station, on (lie El Paso division of the Southern Pacific rail¬ road, members of the so-called Indus¬ trial Army broke the switch lock and turned the next eastbound train on a sklii g. The men, about 700, climbed upon the cars and were carried to Fin¬ lay, when the conductor tied up to await orders. lie got orders to re¬ main tied up and all trains that reach Finlay are ordered to tie up there, as the company is determined not to haul tlie tramps, who will not allow the trains to depart without them. But Finlay is an isolated place, where they must very soon starve out. J. 8. Willis of Homer, Ga., was killed by liis 15-year-old daughter. The killing was made known several days after its occurence by a son of Willis, only 11 years of age, whose statement implicated the wife also. Mether and daughter were arrested and upon a preliminary trial, in which the state was represented by It. B. Russell, solicitor general, and defend¬ ants by competent counsel, they were both discharged. It seems that Willis went home drunk and was choking his wife when tho daughter came to her defense with a razor, with which she cut his throat, ami then finished the work with an axe. Later advices trom Santander, on the coast of Spain, where occurred the disastrous explosion of dynamite in the wreck of a sunken steamer, re¬ port eighteen identified bodies recov¬ ered, besides a number mutilated be¬ yond recognition. On their way- back from the cemetery where tho bodies were interred the people stoned the officers of the company that owned the lost steamer, and attacked the govern¬ 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 and imprisoned, as crazy as a loom 8he had a babe about three weeks old, and imagined that some one was try¬ ing to kill it. Next morning the jailer was astonished to find her apparently sane. She said her name was Eunice, 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. Cutting Affray at Union City. Ed Clemons and Mitchell Polk be¬ came involved in a difficulty at Union City, Avk.. and Polk was so seriously cut that ho will probably die.
