Your Duty To Country
Too many of our people are
without the resourcefulness, and
moral stamina that our pioneer
forefathers had. This is being
more than ever demonstrated in
that Bonus March to Washing
ton.
Those fellows we fully realize
are up against it, but are they
any more so than the first
settlers of America? Did it not
take grit, determination, and
fortitude then to overcome
conditions worse than these? In
stead of our country owing
a debt, you owe it everything.

The Man At The Wheel
How much of the human brain
is used in the process of driving
a car? One famed psychologist
has set it at just 5 per cent. In
other words, it becomes as much
an instinctive process, after a
while, as walking or lighting a
cigarette.
But this is no reason why a
driver should leave all his brains
at home.
The automobile is a marvel of
efficiency. But there is no pos
sible way of making it foolproof.
Ten per cent more of wits in
running it would reduce the
highway slaughter to almost
nothing.
Perhaps there is no way of
bringing it about. There are
morons who make splendid
drivers, and there are pienty of
professors and high-powered
thinkers who are unfit 'to be
trusted even with a baby carri
age.
—Atlanta Georgian.
GETTIN’ LICKED
Got a lickin’ lTorn my Dad,
Worst one I ever had,
Claims I said words tllP.t were
bad—
But I didn’t!
Though in tears I did protest,
Dad just shed his coat and vest,
Said, “Young man, it’s for the
best”—
But it wasn’t!
Cut a limb from off the tree,
Toughest limb that he could see,
Said ’twould hurt him more than
me—
But it didn’t!
Took me through the woodshed
door,
'Vhere we’d often gone before,
Laid it on till I was sore—
Think I wasn’t!
"W itll cl ftlCG theit looked Quito
grim,
He did wield that saplin’ limb,
Till I wondered at his vim—
Think I didn’t?
How I howled with all my might,
Even when the blows were light,
Thought Ma’d made him quit
from fright,
' But she didn’t \
When I left that gruesome shed,
Eyes all tears—face all red,
I remarked, “Wisht I was dead,”
But I wasn’t!
But I guess that, like as not,
Every lickin’ that I got,
Somehow seemed to hit the
spot—
Wisht it hadn’t.
—Phil B. Perkins.

Joseph was not a self-nmde man,
hut a God-made man. His masters
always attributed the quality of his
character and the success of his
work to the fact that the Lord was
with him.
I. Joseph Serving Potiphar (39:1-
30).
1. Sold to tlie Ishinaelites (37:2S).
Joseph was sent by his father to his
brethren on an errand of mercy. At
the sight of Joseph the murderous
envy of his brethren was stirred up.
They first proposed to kill him in
order to prevent his dreams from
coming true. Finally the prudent
suggestion of Judah to sell him pre
vailed, and he was carried to Egypt
and sold as a slave to Potiphar.
2. His prosperity, while a slave in
Potiphar’s house (39:2-6). This pros
perity consisted of:
a. Being accorded the privilege of
Potiphar’s house. By “house” is
meant his private residence instead
of fields or public buildings.
b. He became Potiphar’s personal
attendant (v. 4).
c. He was made overseer of Pott
pSmv’s house (v. 4).
d. He brought prosperity to Poti
phar (v. 5). The Lord biassed Poti
phar for Joseph’s sake.
e. He possessed an attractive per
sonality (v. 6.) His fine physique
and commanding personality were
gifts from God.
3. His temptation (vv. 7-20). Potl
phar’s wife became infatuated with
this handsome slave. 1-Ie resisted
Iter, unwilling to sin against his master
and his God.
II. Joseph Serving in Prison (39:21-
40:23).
1. Overseeing the prisoners (39:21-
40:4). Being defeated in her wicked
purpose, Potiphar’s wife accused Jo
seph falsely. Potiphar must not have
really believed his wife’s story, or
he would have put Joseph to death.
He Imprisoned hint, Die least that
was possible under the circumstances.
a. The Lor(l gave him favor In the
sight of the keeper of the prison (v.
21). This keeper was none other
than Potiphar himself (40:3, cf. 39:1).
It. He was given charge of the pris
oners (v. 22). Potiphar knew Jo
seph’s ability and faithfulness, there
fore gave him employment of (lie most
important kind.
c. The Lord made him to be pros
perous (v. 23). Joseph’s success was
due to the hand of God upon him.
2. Interpreting the dreams of the
butler and the baker (40:5-23). These
were two very important officers in
Pharaoh's court, their business being
to provide the drink and food of the
ruler and liis household. These offi
cers had disturbing dreams, lie in
terpreted their dreams. His inter
pretation was favorable to the butler,
who gave his pledge to Joseph that
ho would intercede with Pharaoh for
him when he was set free.
III. Joseph Serving Pharaoh (41:1-
57).
1. Interpreting his dream (vv. 1-32).
For two full years Joseph remained
in prison, forgotten by the butler.
Pharaoh’s dream brought to Joseph
a great opportunity. The failure of
the wise men of Egypt to interpret
the dream caused the chief butler to
remember what Joseph had done for
him. Joseph was brought out of
prison and made known to Pharaoh
that it meant seven years of plenty
followed by seven years of famine.
2. Advising Pharaoh (vv. 33-36).
He suggested to him that part of the
produce be stored during the years
of plenty. The plan appealed to
I’haraoh, and he invested Joseph with
authority to execute it.
3. Preparing for famine (vv. 37-52).
During the seven years the .earth
brought forth plentifully. Clothed
with royal authority, Joseph went
over all tiie country and gathered and
stored the food in all the cities.
4. Selling food to the needy (vv.
53-57).
a. At last the years of fruitfulness
ended and then began famine in all
the lands (v. 53).
b. Bread was to be found in Egypt
only (v. 54). This was the result of
Joseph’s foresight and preparation.
c. Distribution in the hands of
Joseph (vv. 55-57). Ho opened the
storehouses and sold food unto the
Egyptians and foreigners.
Sure Remedy
’There 1 la no surer remedy for de
sponding weakness Ilian, when we
have done our own parts, to commit
all cheerfully, for the rest, to the good
pleasure of heaven. — Sir Roger
L’Estrange.
God’s Demands
God demands of us that though we
lose health and wealth we do not lose
faith in him, and though w* have
abundantly of both that we do not lose
-igtit of him.

The Senate and the II w
after talking things over, ie -A
that the present Congress
not rest from its labor b
middle of June, there
work enough on hand to
Lie legislators busy, well into
the hot weather.
In the Senate, the

has accepted, for the time

per cent in case of
large incomes, but there mis
been no definite vote on the

posal to make beer a
drink and levy a tax on it, lias
gone down in defeat, by a ’ -Vo
of 61 to 24. The soldiers in the
antitariff ranks seem to be
fighting for a lost cause. The
Senate has approved duties on
both lumber and copper.
The Hcuse appears to be
thirstier than the Senate, ..r.d
has laid 2.75 beer to rest the
epitaph on its tombstone being
“228 to 169.” The lower legisla
tive body has it in mind to
make kidnapping a child and
carrying it across a state line,
a crime for which death will be
the penalty. The Representa
tives have passed a bill approp
riating four million, to be dis
tributed among the states on
a population basis, for the re
habilitation of persons who
have been disabled in the in
dustrial establishments of the
country. The open and waiting
nurse of the War
will have to remain open
waiting a littl^ longer, while
the House continues its
of the appropriation bill for
that branch of the nation’s
fense.
The United States is not
ing much headway in getting
back the money which was loan
ed to Europe in wartime, bin it
seems that Europe is getting
taste of her own no-pay uu di

One of the few business enter
prises that is flourishing
counterfeiting, there being more
bad money afloat now than
.
any period within the
of the oldest inhabitant. A
government official says
the public is partly to blame, in
that it does not scrutinize its
cash closely enough. In reply
it rnay be remarked that a
must have some horses to
handle, before he can learn the' j
much by looking one in
mouth.
The animal-like actions of
children are said by a scientist
to indicate that man had a pre
human ancestor. If the conduct
of many grown-ups is taken in
to consideration also, that an
cestor must have been the ass
and not the ape.
Smiles arc altogether too
scarce, and Mr. Grant Hinkle,
Secretary of State for the State
of Washington, should be re
membered kindly for lightening
a serious article on legislation
by referring to the boy who
wanted to know how people
stuck on the earth before the
law of gravitation was passed.
The American delegates to the
disarmament conference in
Geneva cannot keep their ex
penses under fifty thousand
dollars a month, and will have
to come home unless Congress
goes to their aid. Regardless of
the direction in which one’s gaze
is turned, the eye beholds suffer
ing.
Japan has had two prime min
isters assassinated inside of a
year. That is a disgraceful
showing. In America, no one but
a kidnaped baby need be genuie
ly anxious.
Disgruntled spouses continue
to fill the columns with notices
to the effect that they will not
be responsible for debts con
tracted by anyone other than
themselves. At this time, when
economic uplift and confid . ■
are so much needed, why noi
start a movement to publish a
list of names of those who arc
willing to state that they arc
ready to pay debts of their own
contraction.

organizations really haven”
much to offer in the way of it
