Lesson Text: “Israel In Egypt,’’Ex¬
odus I., 1-14—Golden Text;
Psalm exxiv., 8—
Commentary.
1. “Now. these are the names of the chil¬
dren of Israel which came into Egypt,
Every man and his household came with
Jacob.” The more detailed account of this
is found in Gen. xlvi., 8-27, and in verses 3.
1. the comforting and assuring words of
God to Jacob concerning his going into
Egypt—the promise of His presence and
blessing and of their sure return to the land
of promise. It is always and safe to go where God. we
are sure of the presence blessing of
These children of Israel are first mentioned
by their names, with the meaning of their
names, in Gen. xxix. and xxx. The last
reference to them is in Rev. xxi., 12, where
their names seem to be written on the
twelve gates of pearl of the which New Jerusalem, is
the Bride, the Lamb's wife, to come
down from God out of heaven.
2, 3, 4. “Reuben, Simeon. Levi and Judah,
Issachar, Zebutum and Benjamin, Dan and
Naphtali, Gad and Asher.” These eleven
came with Jacob, Joseph being already in
Egypt, as in the next verse. The names
here are not in the order of birth, but in the
same order as in Gen. xxxv., 23-26, which is
there explained, the wives coming first and
then the handmaids. The many various or¬
ders of arrangement in which the Spirit has
written these names throughout the Scrip¬
tures cannot be void of significance.
5. “And all the souls that come out of the
loins of Jacob were seventy souls, for Joseph
was in Egypt already.” This agrees with
Gen. xlvi., 26, 27, and Dent, x.,22. Stephen’s
statement that Joseph called seventy-five to
him in Egypt (Acts vii., 14) is no discrep¬
ancy, for he includes all his kindred, which
would take in Jacob’s sons’ wives, who were
not included in the seventy. See Gen. xlvi.,
26. The word of God is infallible.
6. “And Joseph generation.” died, and all his brethren,
ami all that We are reminded
of the eight times repeated “And he died” of
Gen. v. and of Heb. ix.. 27. “It is appointed
unto men once to die.” But wo remember
that two men have been excused from keep¬
ing this appointment. Enoch and Elijah, and
all believers alive on the earth at the coming
of Christ will not sleep, but be changed in a
moment and caught up to meet Him in the
air (I Cor. xv., 81. 52 : I Thess.. iv. 16-18.1
7. “And the children of Israel were fruit¬
ful 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 nation” Egypt,
for I will there make of thee a great
(Gen. xlvi., 3). And He had done it accord¬
ing to His word, for “Hath He said, and
8hail He not doit? or hath He spoken, and
shall He not make it good” (Slim, xxxiii.,
19)? When such increase is seen in all the
earth, then shall Gen. i., 28 be obeyed, and
the blessing of the Lord be made manifest.
Confidence in God and obedience to His
word will always tringshowsrs of blessing.
8. “Now, there arose a new king over
Egypt, which knew not Joseph.” testimony That was
not the worst of it, for his own
was, “I know not Jehovah” (Ex. v., 2). In
this he was surely guilty, for he could not
by God through Joseph for his land and peo
pie. The presence of these children of Israel
in his land was a witness on behalf of Jos
R "“And 1 he said 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
" f knowing all about him andhis people, but
he was determined not to acknowledge any
obligation to Joseph or these, his people
^liis is thc sense m which those who have a
heHrd the gospel know not God. They Will
no f regard Him nor acknowledge their obli
gation to Him.

Satan's way is to go directly against God, as
in the beginning, when God said. “Thou
Rhalt sureIj . die,” the serpent said, “Ye shall
not surely die.”
II. “Therefore they did not set over them
taskmasters to afflict them with their bur
dons. And they built for Pharaoh treasure
cities. Pithonvand Raamses.” This also had
been foreseen and foretold, for God had said
to Abram that in the strange land his seed
should be afflicted, but that afterward He
would bring them out with great substance
(Gen. xv., 13, 14). It seems strange to us
it, a t God should allow satan to afflict His

12. “But the more they afflicted them the
more they multiplied aud grew. And they
were grieved because of the children of Is
rael.” Thus the Lord laughed at man’s ef
forts to frustrate His purpose. It is so with
the word of God, aud with the church, and
with the individual Christian. The mors
persecution the more it grows ; the more we
die the more we live. “Except a corn ot
wheat fait into the ground and die it abideth
alone, but if it die it brlngeth forth much
fruit” (John xii., 24). Their grief who because
of Israel makes us think of those wer»
exceeding*y grieved ut-cau.se a man u.* ., o uc
to seek the welfare of the children of Israel
(Nell. ii., 10) and of the time when Jerusa¬
lem shall be a burdensome stone for all peo¬
ple—all that burden themselves with it shall
be cut in pieces (Zecb. x I *,, 3).
13, 14. “And the Egyptians made the chil¬
dren of Israel to serve wit * rigor, and they
made their lives bitter with hard bondage in
mortar and in brick and in all manner of
service in the field, all their service wherein
they made them serve was with rigor.” In
at least three places this is called the iron
furnace of Egypt (Daut. iv., 20 : IKings, viii.,
51; Jer. xi., 4), and in Isa. xtviii., 10, the
Lord says. “Behold, I have refined thee,
but not with silver. 4 have chosen thee in
the furnace of affliction.” From Ezek. xxii.,
17-22, and Zech. xiii., 9, and elsewhere it
looks as if there would be more furnace work
than ever for Israel ere they all know the
Lord from the least to the greatest. As to
our individual lives, when we are in the fur¬
nace we may be sure that the Lord has His
Bye upon us, looking lovingly to see His own
image more clearly reflected In us (Mai. ill.,
B). The remainder of this chapter tells how

including a considerable number of
regular and special police of the dis¬

FRANK HATTON,
The Veteran Editor and Ex-Pofttmaster
(xeneral, in Pend.
Frank Hatton died at Washington
City on last Monday evening. Fioin
bis boyhood, except during the period
of war, Mr. Hatton lias been engaged
in newspaper work, and his rapid
advancement from ihe printer’s case
to the editorial staff, as well as his
promotion to important.public trusts,
military and civil, indicate the high
order of ability which characterized
the man and impressed those with
whom he was associated. At the age
of 20 ho was a colonel, having been
commissioned a lieutenant at 18 A 1
35 he was assistant postmaster-genera 1 ,
and at 38 was postmasti r general,
the youngest, man, except Alexander
Hamilton, who ever sat in the cabinet.
Even during his official career he did
not quit his hold on newspapers, hav¬
ing been connected with the National
Republican, of Washington. At his
death he was associated with Hon.
Beriah Wilkins in the ownership of
the Washington Post. He has passed
away at the age at which most men
have only fairly entered upon the
prime of intellectual vigor. Born in
Cambridge, Ohio, April 28, 1846, he
was but two days over 48 when his
life work was finished.

boarded it for Columbus. The train,
men, however, sidetracked them at
Mount Sterling, which made the hobos
very angry. Later—Galvin’s people

When Brunswick was sorely
aff.clcd by the yellow fever
plague, and her people, looking
longingly for some place of
safety to which they might carry their
wives and iiitle ones, saw nearly ev¬
ery gate of refuge shut against them
by quarantine regulations rigidly en¬
forced, Atlanta bade them come to
her. Thousands responded to the in¬
vitation, and met with a reception so
cordial and sympathy so kinkly that
while they live they can not forget.
On last, memorial day Atlanta received
from Brunswick a beautiful and
touching expression of the gratitude
her generous conduct had inspired.
It was nothing less than a car-load of
flowers.
Some time ago one II. N, Oakes, a
locomotive engineer, of Atlanta, Ga.,
approached patiolmau Flyn, of that
city, while lie was walking on the
street, and from behind him threw a
brick which striking Flyn on the back
of tlie head knocked him senseless.
Oakes was arrested and on a prelimi¬
nary trial set up a plea of justification,
on the ground that Flyn had been
paying atteniions to his wife. He
said reports to (hat effect caine to bis
ears oil his return trip and his suspi¬
cious were con tinned when lie saw
the two leave Barclay’s mission to¬
gether on I lie night in question. He
followed and overtook the officer,
with Hie result above stated. Tho
trial justice, thinking ihe plea ought
to be investigated by a higher court,
bound him over in 12.000.
