The pastor spoke on Joseph, "Prime Min- ister and Public Servant." The bio- graphical sketch of Joseph was given to, indicate how step ::by step God or- ders the pathway of a good man. The minister said in part: Joseph possess - cd an extraordinary capacity for ad- ministration. In the house •of. Poti- phar, in 'the prison, and now no less in the court of • the, Icing he managed the affairs with which • he was en- trusted with superior skill. Joseph occupied the place of PI:aroalz and in. that high office promoted the best in- terests of the people and gathered up the surplus produce during the seven years of plenty, that the Egyptians might not starve, when the river Nile did not over flop its banks sufficient- ly to provide a natural system of lrr - gation, Think of it will you?

Notice at the age of thirty Pharoah places the signet ring of office on the finger of Joseph, a kiligly robe is thrown around his shoulders and a gold chain put around his neck. Then Joseph would ride next to the 'Kings chariot and he would be in .command of Egypt. It took God thirteen years to produce Joseph, fit for this place of power and public office. A long time you say!

They al- so desire to extend their heartfelt thanks to Rev. Mr. Wardell for the b kind words of sympathy expressed by him in conducting the funeral cervi- ees. P remember too, Joseph said, "It is not in me, but in God," Here you find in one sentence himility and faith. This man Joseph died when he was one hundred and ten years old. Three quarters of hi slift he ruled in Egypt, He knew no short cut to success. He had presence of mind, but he also had the presence of Gad. His whole na- ture was, balanced by the grace of God.

Study the life of Pilate for yourselves. x. "He knew that for envy the Jews had delivered Jesus into his hands." 2. "Why what evil hath this mandone? I find no fault in Him," - Yet poor Pilate cowardly and by poeritical could not decide for the right. He was anchored to his gov- ernorship, he was afraid of being ban- ished, "If thou se Jesus Gree, thou are not Ceasar's friend" seemed to stun him. He dethroned conscience. The service was impressive. The choir sang an appropriate number and Mr. H. Cooke and Miss Elsie Cooke, sang a duet, "He died of a broken heart for me." The United. Church folk welcome you.
