Every fighting ship of Canada's ever-expanding Navy, scents to
have a mascot of some kind. Many have dogs whose pedigree has
long been forgotten like the pooch above. Subjected to all sorts of
kindhearted rough and tumble treatment from the crew, they very
often will never leave the ship when in port.

THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time. -According to the com-
monly received chronology, Joseph
became a slave in Potiphar's house
in 1735 B.C., and suffered im-
prisonment 1725 B.C.
Place.—Joseph's home was in
Hebron, in southern Palestine, He
was sold into slavery at Dothan,
thirteen miles north of Shechem,
which itself was sixty miles from
Hebron. The capital of Egypt
at this time, wheremost of Jos-
eph's years were spent, was Zoan,
in the eastern part of the Nile
delta.
Joseph Cast Into The Pit
23. "And it came to pass, when
Joseph was come unto his breth-
ren, that they stripped Joseph of
his coat, the coat of many colors
that was on him; 24. and they
took him, and cast him into the
pit: and thepit was empty, there.
was no water in it." The tank
into which Joseph's brethren cast
him was apparently one of those
huge reservoirs excavated by
shepherds in the East, that they
may have a supply of water for
their flocks in the end of the dry
season, when the running waters
fail them. Being so narrow at
the mouth that they can be cov-
ered by a single stone; they Agra- -
dually widen and. form a large
- subterranean room; and the facil-
ity they thus afford for the con-
finement of prisoners was from
the first too obvious not to ` be
eouunonly taken advantage of. in
such a " place was Joseph left to
die,
The Plot Against Joseph
26. "And they sat' down to eat
bread: and they lifted up their
eyes and looked, and, behold, a
caravan of Ishmaelites was com-
ing from Gilead, with their camels
bearing spicery and balm and
myrrh, going to carry it down to
Egypt, 26. And Judah said unto
his brethren, What profit is it if
we slay our brother and conceal
his blood? 27. Come, and let us
sell hint to the Ishmaelites, and
let not our hand be upon him;
for he 45 our brother, our flesh.
And his brethren hearkened unto
him." As these calloused, heart-
less men were sitting not far away
from the pit, devouring the food
brought by the faithful hands of
Joseph froni the father's home,
they saw a band of Ishmaelites
coining down upon thele, and im-
mediately they agreed to profit
'by their treatment of Joseph, and
sell him as a slave to these Egypt -
bound hien.
Jacob Mourns Por Joseph
28, "And there passed by Midi-
anites, merchantmen; end they
drew and lifted up Joseph out of
the pit, and sold Joseph to the
Ishtnaelites for twenty pieces of
silver, And they brought Joseph
into Egypt. 29. And Reuben re-
turned unto the pit; and, behold,
Joseph was not in the pit; and he
rent. his clothes,. 30. And he re
termed unto his brethren, and
said, The child is not; and . I,
whither Shall I go? 31. And they
took Joseph's coat, and killed a
be -goat, and dipped the coat in
the blood.; 32. and they sent the
coat of many color's, and they
brought it to their father, and
,said, This 1 eVe we found: know
now whether it is thy son's coat
or not, 88, And he knew it; and
said, It is my son's cont; an evil
beast hath devoured 'him; Josop}l
is without doubt torn in pieces.,
34. And Jacob rent his garments,
and put sackcloth upon his loins,
and mourned for his son many
days, 35. And all his sons and all
his daughters rose up to comfort
him; but he refused to be com-
forted; and he said, For I will
go down . to Sheol to my son
mourning. And his father wept
for him.'
Before these brethren left' for
home, they dipped Joseph's coat,
which they took from him, into
the blood of a newly slain kid,
and in showing it to the father
told him that this was what they
had found, with the hope that the
father would be persuaded, as he
was, that Joseph had been slain
by a wild beast. Wherever we
find unkindness we are almost
certain to find untruth. 'Kindness
and truth' are wedded in Genesis
(24:49; 47:29); they naturally
draw to each other everywhere;
there is a pre -established harmony
between them. The same is true
of their opposites. Jacob's sons,
having sold their young brother,
made it next to impossible' for
themselves to speak the truth.
They had to concoct a story to
account for his disappearance,
and it was as audacious and cruel
a falsehood as was ever uttered by
human lips,
Joseph Sold into Egypt
36, "And the Midianites sold
him into Egypt unto Potiphar, an
Officer pf Pharaoh's, the captain
of the guard." Potiphar was lit-
erally 'captain of the slaughterers'
that is, 'the chief officer of the
executioners,' The migration. of
Israel into Egypt had become
necessary for three reasons: (1)
That they might not excite the
hostility of the Canaanite, before
they were strong enough to re-
sist it. (2) That they might not
adulterate their race and lose
their distinctiveness by intermar-
riage with the Canaanites. (3)
That they might by contact with
a highly civilized people receive
an education in arts and a dis-
cipline by law and government
such as there was little prospect
of their receiving in Canaan.
The Lord With Joseph
Joseph was the unconscious
pioneer of this great movement,
The young slave filled his posi-
tion to the very utmost of his
Powers and abilities and we are
not surprised to learn that 'the
Lord was with Joseph, and he was
a prosperous man.' How could he
be prosperous as a slave? The ex-
planation is that prosperity is not
due to circumstances but to char-
acter, and character in turn de-
pends upon faithfulness to God.
His life soon became evident,
for in some way or other bis mas-
ter observed that Joseph's powers,
must come from a Divine source.
It is one of the finest results of
true piety when those around us
who may not be of our way of
thinking, are enabled to see the
reality of our life in our daily
work and conduct,
U. S. To Call Men
With Dependents
Brig. -Gen. Lewis B. Hershey of
the United States army said re-
cently that draft boards would be-
gin calling men with dependents
before Christmas.
The National Selective Service
Director reiterated the order in
which men with dependents would
be called,
Single men with "secondary"
dependents, such as aged or crip-
pled relatives, would be called
first, he said.
Next would come married men
whose wives work, then men with
dependent wives, and finally men
with wives and children.

CLAIRE WALLACE
If you hear a radio commentator
telling all Canada why your next-
door neighbor hasn't been home
on wash days recently, or some
equally intimate and local news
behind the news, you'll be listen-
ing to "They Tell Me", with Can-
ada's famous Claire Wallace. And
1f she does tell you about some-
one in your town, (maybe your-
self) you can be sure that It is
because there is a twist to the
story that will interest every wo-
man in Canada. Claire Wallace
has risen to tap rank In Canadian
radio through more than seven
years of continuous broadcasting.
Now she broadcasts coast to coast
in Canada for the first time. You
can hear her on the CBC (OBL
CKOC-CBO) daily at 1.46 p.m.,
Monday through Friday, right aft-
er the Happy Gang. Assisting is
her indispensable announcer, the
jovial Todd Russell, sometimes
with news, sometimes with fun.

Prior to his first broadcast of
the new season — last Sunday
night' at 8.00 o'clock, Edgar Ber-
gen with his diamond studded
dummies Charlie and Mortimer,
took a flying trip to Alaska and
entertained the boys of Canada
and V.S. Originally scheduled for
just a couple of shows, the boys
had to hold over their dates for a
much longer run. Bergen's ward-
robe wasn't equal to the occasion,
especially on out particularly cold
night. A friendly Eskimo gave
Edgar 'a smart 'parka' and all the
trimmings: Publicity reports state
"It saved Bergen's night!"

Riding A Bicycle
Fifty Years Ago
A reader of this newspaper sue
geats that lnetrnottons on How to
Ride a Bicycle would be useful to
many persons at this time. We
here is a bit of advice unearthed
from a wheelman's magazine oC
1891r
"rise pedal should be pressen
downward not with the heel or
the instep, but with the toes and
the ball of the foot, thus giving
the ankle free play and producing
the full development of the calf
muscles of which the good rider
1s justly proud. In mounting the
bicycle the gentleman has the lett
Pedal up and slightly in advanoe
of centre, Placing the left foot
upon it, and clasping the handle-
bars, he throws his weight upon
the bat foot, swings the right leg
easily over the rear wheel and
settles into the saddle.
"In dismounting he cheeks the
motion by letting the pedal on the,
upstroke lift his weight; at the
same time his right leg describes
a graceful arc above the rear
wheel and comes to rest on the
ground at the left.
"A lady must, of course, mound
in different fashion. Stepping
through the drop frame and mai.
ing sure that her skirts are nicely
draped about her ankles on either
side, she lifts herself into the sad
dle by pushing down on the let(
pedal, in the same effort starting
the bicycle in motion."
