THE BROTHERLY LOVE
OF JUDAH
(Genesis 42: 1}--45 : 15.)
Printed Text—Genesis 44: 18-34.
Golden Text—Let love of the breth-
ren :continue. Hebrews 13 1.
The Lesson In Its Setting
Time:—The events in this lesson
occurred during the seven years of
famine, i.e., B.0 .1716—B.C, 1710.
Place:—The family of Jacob was
probably residing near. Beer-sheba in
southern Palestine; Joseph was liv
ing in the capital of Egypt, Zoan, in
the eastern part of the Nile Delta.
The Plan of the Lesson
Subject:—The Perfect Purposes of
God and His Divine Overruling to
Accomplish Them.
"Then Judah came near unto him,
and said, Oh, my lord, let thy serv-
ant, I pray thee speak a word in my
lord's ears, and let thine anger burn
against thy servant; for thou art
even as Pharaoh." — Judah . first
acknowledges the absolute supremacy
of the one to whom he is speaking.
"My lord .asked his servants, say-
ing, Have ye a father, or a brother?
And we said unto my lord, We have
a father, an old man, and a child of
his old age, a little one; and his
brother is dead, and he alone is left
of his mother; and his father loveth
him."— Almost every word here is
bound to appeal to the heart of
Joseph—"a father, an old man," "a
child of his old age, a little one,"
"his brother is dead," "he alone is
left," "his mother," "his father loveth
him."
"And thou saidst unto thy serv-
ants, Bring him down unto me, that
may set mine eyes upon him. And
we said unto my lord, The lad can-
not leave his father: for if he should
leave his father, his father would
die. And thou saidst unto thy serv-
ants, Except your youngest brother
come down with you, ye shall see my
face no more. And it came to pass
when we came up unto thy servant
myfather, we told him the words of
my lord. And our father said, Go
again, buy us a little food. And we
said, We cannot go down; if our
youngest brother be with us, then
will we go down; for we may not see
the man's face, except our youngest
brother be with us."—Though Judah
is too burdened and his heart torn
with too great an anguish to think
of cleverness,- yet he could never
have spoken more movingly to the
one before whom he stood. if hehad
thought out his speech for weeks be-
fore, because he is simply telling the
one who now demands that Benjamin
remain in Egypt that all o f this
tragedy and trouble came about be-
cause the one before whom he was
speaking demanded that Benjamin be
brought down into Egypt against the
strong wishes of the boy's father.

and in particular, upon Judah, since
the day when he had eloquently urg-
ed and they had wickedly consented.
to sell their brother Joseph, into
Egypt.
"Christ is our surety. He makes
himself one with us (Heb, 2: 11). He
sprang from Judah (Heb. 7: 14). He
was accepted as our substitute, was
bound, abused, and crucified. He
bore the curse for us (Gal. 3: 13).
Christ died for us who were below
him. Furthermore, Christ pleads for
us before' the throne of the Father
(Heb. 7: 25).
The Character of Judah
Judah's name had been given to
him at his birth amid circumstances
of hope on the part of his mother,
f Jdl "
father prematurely in sorrow to the
grave. Here Judah seems to appeal next' year, Joan will be well in the
to the deepest emotions of the human
heart, love for en aged parent, and
a regard for ultimate consequences.
"For thy servant became surety
for the lad unto my father, saying,
If I bring him not • unto thee, then
shall .1 bear the blame to my father
for ever. Now therefore, let thy
servant, I pray thee, abide instead
of the lad a bondman to, my lord; and
let the lad go up with his brethren.
For how shall I go up to my father,
if the lad be not with .ate? lest I see
tho evil that shall conte on my
father."—The whole argument is
powerfully concluded by Judah's of-
fer' t take Benjarnin's place. This
youth did not, however, afford any
proof whatever that he was living up
to his splendid name. But in these
later chapters, he comes to the fore
with great force of character, and
the whole tone of his exquisite ap-
peal in behalf of Benjamin shows
that he is now living up to his name.
The pressure of poverty, the stings a
of conscience, the deepening of
family love, the checking of self-
confidence, are a few of the ways in
which Judah was brought .into the
line of true life and enabled to take
the lead in these family troubles and
sorrows (Heb. 12: 11).
Martin has said that he would have
given anything if he could pray to
God as Judah prayed to Joseph.

father die with a broken .heart when
he knew, that Benjamin would not
dome home again. The sublime hero-
isni of his noble act of self-sacrifice
°bn the part of Judah would be im-
possible to over-estimate. The self-
Zorgetful magnanimity of such an
action has never been eclipsed and

To construct a comfortable barn
one must know definitely what cow
comfort means. Cows do not require
fancy and expensive buildings. They
are very practical in their tastes.
They do want, however, freedom in
their stall and a pen permitting tams
to move about at will. .They like
their food clean and at regular pe�
riods. They like a supply of fresh.
clean water always at hand. They
prefer a light, well ventilated stable
to one that is dark and poorly venti-
lated. These cow requirements de-
band modern equipment, which in

The FA `.., R'S
Conducted by PROFESSOR HENRY G. BELL
With the co-operation of the Various Departments of the
Ontario Agricultural College
J. F. G. of Halton Co., asks the fol-
lowing questions:
Question ``Where can package
bees and equipment be secured?"
Answer -- Package bees may be se-
cured from F. W. Jones and Son, of
Guelph, Ontario; W, A. Chrysler &
,Son, Chatham, Ontario; H. M. Clu-
bine and Company, Brantford, Ontario
as well as other distributors within
the province. They may also be secur-
ed from one of the many package
Producers in the Southern States.
Question — "Is it necesary to se-
cure a permit to move or sell bees?"
Answer — The requirements under
the Bee Disease Act demand that an
owner or possessor of an apiary shall
not sell, barter, give away or remove
from the premises any bees or used
apiary appliances or apparatus unless
he has secured a permit from the
Provincial Apiarist that such bees,
used apiary appliances and aparatus
have been properly dininfected and
are free from disease.
Question — "Is it necessary to feed
package bees, and if so, how would
you prepare it?"
Answer — "Package bees should be
given at least ten pounds of sugar
syrup, mixed, one of sugar to one of
water, by • weight or measure. This
may be fed in a ten pound pail, ,that
has several perforated holes in •the
lid through which the liquid may be
taken by the bees. The main object of
feeding is to avoid starvation until
the nectar secretion in flowers is av-
ailable.
Question — "When should potatoes
be planted?" E. J., Ontario Co.
Answer — From experiments con-
ducted at the Ontario Agricultural
College for seven years in duplicate,
figuring from plantings on May 20th
to June 17th, there is a loss of 1 1-5
bushels per acre per day in early po-
tatoes, 1 1-3 bushels per acre per
day in late potatoes, and 1 1-4 bush-
els per acre per day in a combination
of early and late potatoes as the date
of planting is delayed from the earl-
iest to the Iatest time mentioned.
Question — 'How late can I sow
buckwheat to get good. results?" J. 0.,
Grey Co.
Answer — Date of seeding tests
with reference to buckwheat have
been investigated for five years by
the Field Husbandry Department, of
Ontario Agricultural College, includ-
ing earliest plantings May 2nd, to r.s
late as July 18th. Highest yields of
Silver Hull buckwheat were obtain-
ed at the average date of May 16th,
with an average yield of 29.0 bushels
per acre. The same variety planted on
July 4th yielded only 7.0 bushels per
acre.

Story Of A Robin
That birds have a warm attach-
ment for each other is well known to
even easual observers of the habits
and actions of our feathered song-
sters. But here is a story, confirmed
by reliable eye -witnesses, which is
diffieult to aeeount for except on the
assumption that the hearts of these
little creatures are as sensitive to
bereavement as are the most affec-
tionate of human beings.
A few days ago, on one of the trees
opposite the post office building, cus-
toms officials noticed through the
window a robin, hanging suspended,
dead, from a piece of string attached
to a branch. Evidently the bird had
been perching on the branch when it
became entangled and in its efforts
to extricate itself had looped the
string around its neck.
The pitiful little object naturally
attracted the official's attention on
subsequent days, when they witness-
ed a touching sequel. Another robin
was seen to return, again and again,
to the branch above its dead mate,
peck frantically at the string, and
chirp as if calling for assistance. At
night it was seen to remain perched
on the branch, as if keeping vigil.
This went on for two or three days
and nights.
Then apparently it disappeared; it
was no longer heard or seen on the
branches. But closer inspection re-
vealed the mourner's little body on
the ground. It was lying dead, almost
directly under the suspended body of
its mate!
The Farmer's Task
Writes the Hamilton Spectator—
The tendency to place at a discount
the inherent ability needed for suc-
cessful farming is at least deplorable.
Such work demands more of the
stronger qualities of character than
almost any other. Its taskmaster.
nature, is the most adamant of them
all. It is sheer casuistry to place it
anywhere but in the higher scale of
occupations.
Ironically enough, it is the so-
called advantages of the cities, the
things which so often surfeit us, that
maintain a certain hold on the coun-
try dweller of today. But it is a
good thing. Modern entertainments
and transportation have helper farm-
ing communities everywhere. And
-peihaps�.a£tor°---all there is still a
deep-rooted love of the land, among
the larger portion of our people
which, if not eloquent, is at least
the sanest and the safest patriotism
to be found.

full measure of life's draught, for
