SYCAMORE, IRWIN COUNTY, GA., MAY 1, 1894. SABBATH SCHOOL INTERNATIONAL LESSON FOR >1 AY 6. Lesson Text: “Joseph’s Last Days,” Genesis I., 14-26 — Golden Text: Prov. tv., 18— Commentary. nnd 14. his “And brerhton •Tpseph returned into Egypt, ho and all that went up with him to bury his father, after he had buried his father.'” For seventeen years did Jacob Wijoy fehapter Joseph’s presence nnd care in Egypt xlvii., 28) and died at the age of 147. having first blessed all his sons and charged them to bury him beside Leah in tho cave of Maehpelah where Abraham and Sarah, Isane and Rebekah. had already been laid. When Jacob was dyinc* he, with con Adenee in the promises of Go ), Messed the sons of Joseph, and assured Joseph that God would brine them all out of Ej;ypt (Heb. xi., 21 :Gen. xlviih, 21\ 15. “And when. Joseph’s brethren saw that their father was dead they said, Joseph will peradventure hate us and will certainly re quite us .all the evil which we did unto him." That looks like a very mean estimate of their brother, who had so freely and fully forgiven them and had so abundantly cared for them for so many years. One cannot read chap ter xlv., 1-15, without seeingthat it was pure unbelief and actually made Joseph a liar. But it is just the way that many Christians treat the Lord. They cannot believe that He has nothing against them and that He will never mention their sins, and so they m ,« e T O Joba v -, 10). Joseph, died, saying. Thy father did command be fore he saying.” A messenger's only responsibility is to receive and deliver his message Lord’s correctly and promptly. Haygai was the messenger with the Lord's messaue (Hag. i., 13), and the message ae complished the work. It is a pleasure to bo the Lords messenger and is the highest honor a mortal can here enjoy. But this messenger was in poor employ and on a very poor errand. pravThee h 6 a y tre^pais^fthy'bret'^ I now, th e ren and their sin. ’ This was no new sin they were asking forgiveness for, but the old wrong of thirty-seven years before which had been fully forgiven for over seventeen years. We have no record that Jacob ever told his sous thus to appeal to Joseph. If he did, he was as bad as they. Yet there ar« Christians who, being assured of forgive ness (Epb. i.,7; I John ii.. 12), are all the time asking forgiveness for the same old sins. No wonderJcseph wept. It is enough to make Jesus weep to be so unbelievingly regarded. 18. “And his brethren also went and fell down before his face, and they said, Behold) we be thy servants.” It was in fear they came, begging for that which bad long ago been given them. This is not the kind of servant Jesus expects to find in those who have been made nigh by His precious blood ness)"but^serving beeau^^fo^Wen^is’the right way. Serve tho Lord with gladness. 19. “And Joseph said unto them. Fear not, ^“hey had P X°ne°d’hJ^Himtot they should have sought forgiveness. David recognized this when he said, “Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned and done this evil in Thy sight (Ps. Ii., 4). We must seek for¬ giveness viil., from 12), God, for all from sin is those against Him (I Cor. and then against whom we have offended. 20. “But as foryou, ye thought good evil against me. but God meant it unto to bring it to pass, as it is this day, to save much peo¬ ple alive.” In almost the very same words had he spoken to them of this matter seven¬ teen years before. He reminds us of Jesus, who is the same yesterday, to-day and for¬ ever (Heb. xni., 8), of Jehovah, who says, “I am the Lord, I change not” (Mai. iii., 6). 21. “Now therefore fear ye not. I will nourish you and your little ones. And He comforted them and spoke kindly unto them.” This is at least the fourth “fear not” in this story Bible (xliii., 23 ; xlvi., 3 ; 1, 19). The first in the is in Gen. xv., 1, and the last is Rev. i.. 17, or ii., 10. but how many heart comforting ones there are throughout the book! I find constant comfort and strength in such as I Sam. xxii., 23 ; Isa. xli., 10, 13 : Joel ii., 21; Mark v., j!6. AVe are to comfort others tvith the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God (II Cor. i., 4); therefore I pass them on. .32. “And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and his father s house, and Joseph lived an hun¬ dred and ten years.” He avus (xli., thirty when he first stood before Pharoah 48), so that he had eighty years of prosperity and honor in Egypt. He would be about fifty-six when his father died , therefore he livod to make good his word to his brethren for at least 23. “And third Joseph saw Ephraim’s The children of the generation. children also of Maehir. the son of Manasseh, were brought up upon Joseph’s knees.’’ After Job’s afflic¬ tion he saw his son’s sons, even four genera¬ tions (Job xlii., 16). It is one of the bless¬ ings of the righteous to see children’s chil¬ dren and peace therewith (Ps. cxxviii., 6). 24. “And Joseph said unto his brethren, 1 die, and God will surely visit you and bring you out of this land unto the land which Ho sware This to Abraham, confidence to Isaac God. and to Jacob.” was in By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel and gave commandment concerning his bones (Heb. xi.. 22). 25. “And Joseph took an oath of the chil¬ dren of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you, and ye snail carry up my bones from hence.” So when Moses led Israel out of Egypt he took the houses of Joseph, and when their wanderings all had ceased they were burled iu Shechem (Ex. xiii., 19; Joshua xxiA'., 32). Joseph might have de¬ sired such a funeral as he gave his father Hnd had his body at once buried in the land of promise, but he was so sure of their going up iu due time that he was content to wait and let his body remain among them as a token of their coming deliverance. 26. “So Joseph died, being an hundred and ten years old, and they embalmed him, and he was put in a ijoffln in Egypt.” Gathered unto his people (xlix.. 33), his body still awaits the resurrection of the just at the coming of Christ (I Cor. xv.. 23; I Thess, iv.. 16). These all died in faith, liof having received the promises, Thess all having obtained a good report through faith received not the promise, God having provided some better thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect (Heb. xi.. 13, 39, 40). That unburied body was a constant sermon to the Jochebed. believing remnant such as Amram and parents ot Moses, not to be discouraged by trials, but tc wait for the deliverance, which was sure t( come.—Lesson Helper.

Private dispatches received at th» Northern Pacific headquarters at Min neapolis, Minn., are to the effect thal the sheriff'from Livinustotie, Montana, with a large posse, has succeeded it overhauling the Butte Coxeyites, ai Columbus, and that there is a pitched battle now in progress for the posses siou of the Northern Pacific trait stolen by the common wealers. It is stated by a Great Northern off} cial that Organizer Hogan is at th< head of the Butte eontimrent, and that this is the reason he left the Greal Northern conference committee and returned to Montana. Later dispatches state that troop have been sent from Fort Keogh, to assist the,sheriff in case of necessity, FEDEKAL TROOPS ORDERED OUT. Colonel Swaine, who is in command of the department of Dakota, in the abscenee in Europe of General Mer pit. was instructed by telegraph to use the United Stales troops to intercept the mob of Coxeyites which seized train at Butte, Montana, and restore the railroad its property. VETERAN*. OK THE SOUTH They Coinr io Hirin' Mirim m nnd Find t» Hearty Welcome YVnltiuur Them. The fourth annual reunion of the United Confederate Veterans has been held, and before this meets the eye of the reader the eight or ten thousand men, heroes all, who followed the southern cross, having come once more to look into the faces of well loved com¬ rades, ami to consider and devise measures for their mutual Welfare, for the preservation of the truth of history and the perpetuation of the memory of their fallen comrades, will have re¬ turned to their several homes to re¬ sume their accustomed vocations. Here was the real “army of peace.” No assemblage of eight or ten thou¬ sand men ever met and mingled with as many more, of all classes, ever h Id in ihese United States a two days jubilee characterized by such perfect order, good behavior and gen¬ eral propriety of deportment. And right royally have they been enter¬ tained. Birmingham has proven her¬ self a hostess worthy of tter noble guests. The South Carolinian was greeted by his loved palmetto hanging out from balconies; the eye of the Texan kindled as it fell upon his lone star fluttering in the breeze. The fronts of houses and whole streets draped in bunting of red, white and blue, be¬ spangled with stars, quickened every pulse and veterans whose locks were silvered and forms Lent under the weight of } ears, inarched with a tinner limn their wonted step as they trod the pavements. The number of veterans who at¬ tended cannot now be ascertained, and indeed it is believed there were many who failed to register, so that the ex¬ act number will never be known. The estimates range from 6000 to 8000. There were probably a> many stran¬ gers who came to join in the testi¬ fies of the occasion, to hear the ad¬ dresses and to see the magic city with her various attractions. Among the most distinguished visitors were Gov eruors llogg of Texas, Tillman of South Carolina, Stone of Mississippi, and Turner of Tennessee. Of Con¬ federate generals and brigadier gener ais there were present Gen. Stephen D, Lee, Gen. W. L. Cabell, Gen. Clement A. Evans of Georgia, Gen, Geo. T. Anderson (“Old Tige”) of Anderson, Gen. W. H. Jackson, Gen. Mike BuJger and others. MONUMENT FUND. The sum of $2,200 was subscribed by the several camps, aided by indi¬ vidual subscriptions, to the Chicago monument fund. The graves of tlu Confederates buried at Oak wood cem¬ etery, Ctiicago, are, by government authority placed under control of the United Confederate Veterans, and Gen. John C, Underwood, major gen¬ eral, commanding the division in the northern slates west of the Alleglie nies, is charged with the care of tho Confederate graves, not only in Oak wood cemetery, hut those near the prison camps, Chase, Morton, Doug¬ lass, Johnson’s Island, Cairo and other places in his district. Gen. Underwood is authorized by ihe association to raise funds for the care of these resting places of our falleu comrades, and to erect a monu¬ ment to their memory. THE BLUE WITH THE GREY. It was a pleasing episode—the in. iroduciioii, by General, Jackson of General Miller, department command¬ er of the Grand Army of the Repub¬ lic. Gen. Miller came forward and in language that touched tho tender est feelings in the hearts ot the vet¬ erans, presented to General G >r don a cane cut, from Barlow’s hill iu testimony of the high estimation in which the members of the Grand Army of the Republic regard the man and hero ivho, in the midst of the carnage of Gettysburg, touched wiih pity for a bleeding foe, had the federal general, Barlow, re’ moved to a place of safety and saved bis life. The presentation, General Gordon’s eloquent and most appropri¬ ate remarks on receiving tlie cane, and the shouts and cheers of Ihe audience, made altogether a most thrilling scene. Found Dead on a Sleeper. A man with a ticket bound for Phil¬ adelphia, was found dead Sunday night on a Pullman sleeper south of Montgomery ville on a northbound Louis & Nashville train, All the in. formation to be found out about him was a card bearing the name of Ed¬ ward Tyle. He took the train at New Orleans. Consumption Avas the cause of his death. He had traveled for a Memphis firm. Three Swim* Up. A mob of over 200 masked men Tvent to the j ail at Tuscumbia, Ala., a little after midnight Sunday morn¬ ing, and obtaining the key’s from the jailer’s wife during the temporary absence of her husband, look three prisoners out and lynched them. The men were Tom Black, John Williams, and Tony Johnston, who had confess ed to the burning of the barn of Mr. Claude King, a farmer of that vicin ity.
