beginning salaries ranging from $126
to $175 per month and expenses.
Those who bought on their own ac-
count made good money. You can do
the same this year if you will only
prepare. You can master our cotton
course in five to six weeks and be
practically assured of a position.
Our training puts it “up to you" as
to advancement. Federal jobs pay
$2100 to $6000 a year. And you will
handle more bales and learn more
about the grade, staple and market-
ing of cotton in these few weeks than
you would learn in street buying in
years. This course will only cost you
$55.00. Your first month’s salary
should repay your expenses, board in-
cluded. Young man, how, when or
■where can you beat It?

I. The Increase of ths Chosen Seed
(rr. 1-7).
This miraculous. .Increase seems
only to have begun after the death
of Joseph and the passing of his gen-
eration. After this Israel quickly
grew Into a nation. This amazing in-
crease “Is expressed as is usual In
Hebrew by a climax of verbs: where
fruitful la taken from the vegetable
world In which the Increase varies
from the multiple to several hundred-
fold; Increased (spawned—swarmed)
Is borrowed .from the finny tribes In
which the rat# of Increaae flies to
many myriads; multiply la a general
word referring to namber; and ‘waxed
exceedingly mighty’ la a similar phrase
alluding to the strength' which num-
bers confer, composed of verb and ad-
verb repeated and therefore well
adapted to complete the climax."—
Murphy. This Increase can only be
accounted for by admitting tbe band
of the Almighty to be In it.
II. A New Dynastyv Appears (vv.
8-10).
Joseph'* elevation a* prime minister
In Egypt was during tbe reign ot tbe
Rykaoe kings. Being of . Semitic ori-
gin, they were not hostile to tbe He-
brews, but when “there arose np a
new king which knew not Joseph" (v.
8) their troubles began. This affords
a striking Illustration of God's provi-
dence In history. His purposes In-
clude the means to carry them out.
The amazing growth of the Israelites
excited the envy and fear of the king
(vv. 9-10). Fear was twofold—
1. In case of war they might Join
the enemy and fight against them.
2. Lest they should remove from the
land, thus cutting off a vital source of
revenue and also exposing to danger
the eastern border, of the land.
III. Measures to Check ths Growth
of Israel (vv. 11-22).
These measures with their outcome
expose the folly of world wisdom (1
Cor. 3:19). If they could have
eliminated God from the affairs of
men their policy would have been
a good one, but It proved to be alto-
gether vanity. The greatest mistake
• man can ever m&k* is to leave God
out of his calculations. God had prom-
ised that Hla people should become
mighty In power as well as great In
numbers.
1: Placed under cruel taskmasters
(vv. 11-14).
The first measure he adopted was
to put Israel Into cruel bondage by
afflicting them with heavy burdens.
Cruel taskmasters were placed over
them, who forced them to labor In
buUdJng treasure cities and all man-
ner of service In the field. They el-
ected of them hard service, but this
measure was Ineffectual for “the more
they afflicted them the more they mul-
tiplied and grew." This rapid growth
resulted In more Intense burdens be-
ing heaped upon them. The Egyptians
meant this for evil to the Israelites,
but God, blessed It to their good. It
was part of His plan for them (Oen.
18:18, 14). Indeed, the righteous may
expect such treatment of the world
(n Tim. 1:12; Heb. 12:8). Prosper-
ity and adversity constitute God's
teaching and discipline. While their
burdens were heavy and their suf-
ferings very Intense, they had the
consolation that It would not last for-
ever. The presence of Joseph’s dead
body wa* a guaranty that they would
one day be delivered. Though the
Christian's burden may be heavy and
his sufferings keen, he has the guar-
anty that they shall not last always.
2. The authorized murder of the
male Infants by the midwives (vv.
15-21).
This measure also miscarried as the
mldwlves feared God and chose to
obey Him. Because they refused to
destroy God's people He gave them
homes and children and the Joys
thereof.
8. The drowning of the male chil-
dren In the river (v.'22).
The king having heretofore been
baffled, he now gave the heartless
command to cast the male infanta
Into tbe river. This mandate seems
to have been given shortly before
Moses was born. This plan likewise
failed, and the very child who ulti-
mately npaet Pharaoh's throne, was
sheltered and nurtured In his own
palace. __-
The Values That Abide
We acquire, discard and cherish;
and the things that we retain are those
which can endure the light of the pres-
ence of God. And these are the things
which are eternal.—Isaac Edward
