-HINDSIGHT AND FORESIGHT

an American preacher sermon in.- Toronto on the "Would you see God? Look

Once gave a theme: back."

Hindsight ls proverbially clearer mm (oi-eslght, and often in re- viewing the events of the past we can detect the hands of the Divine Daaigner as we.-could not have seen it in the thick of the strug- gle. To the inspired writers of the Bible this meant that God raised men up for-His own special purposes, and assoreator endowed them with the gifts and graces re- quired in the particular position wlilch they were called to fill. Then He fits all that befalls them into His plan for them.

In no case can this be seen more clearly than in the story of Joseph. A popular journal once asked its readersto tell their fav- orlte story, and an overwhelming majority put the story of Joseph first. As we look over it now we can see the hand of sovereign love in what must have seemed at the lime irretrievable calamity and injustice. Joseph himself recog- nized it. He said to his brothers who had sold him as a slave: "God sent me before you to pre- :;(t1'l'e you a remnant in the earth mid to save you alive by a great dC1,,.erance." .For a time this iouth's course was down, down. riowii. Yet every step downward was a necessary stage in his pro- grass toward the heights. God was meeting Joseph's career although he did not then know it

. . .

Joseph's story is one of dazzling success. This son of a nomad chief rose to a position of the most powerful empire of his time. It was the kind of success which North Americans love-a sudden rise to supreme power by unaided ability and energy. Personal worth and attractiveness commended Jos- eph to be king, and with these qualities he combined a vision of ilie hidden forces in history and the organizing genius and prac- tical energy which could make his dreams come true. -

One writer says of him: "In Joseph we meet 9. type of char- acter rare in any race, and which, thought occasionally reproduced in Jewish history, we should certain- lv not have expected to meet with at so early a period. For what chiefly strikes one in Joseph is ii combination of grace and power which is commonly looked upon as the peculiar result of clvlllzing influences, knowledge of history, familiarity with foreign races. and licrcditary dignity. In David we find a similar flexibility and grace of character, and I similar per- sonal superiority. We find the same bright and humorous dispo- .-ltion helping him to play theman in adverse circumstances; but we miss, in David, Joseph's self-con-

trol and incorruptible purity, as we miss also his capacity for dif- ficult affairs of state...Joseph, in- deed, seemed to inherit the high- est qualities of his ancestors." 0

But this man's path to power was one of the thorniest ever trod- den: He was his father's favorite. and favoritism in the family had its usual baneful effects. It made Joseph himself a prig and a. tell- tale; it aroused his brothc s' Jeal- ousy and hatred. These rothers were a rough lot anyway, and one day, when they got their father's pet into their power. they sold him to a band of traders. These solo Joseph as a slave to an Egyptian officer. Here he accepted respons- ibility for the success of any task entrusted to him and w his master's confidence. Here hs per- sonal qualities drew the attention of his master's wife and she tried to trap him into an illicit union with" herself. There is nothing as cruel as an infatuation, and when Joseph repelled her advances, her love turned to violent hatred. and she accused lilin falsely to her husband of attempts to force her into 'the relationship into which she had tried to allure him. The enraged husband threw Joseph

into rison; the wonder is that he dl not put him to death. In the prison Joseph again

proved to be a. reliable helper, and won the favor of the jailer and his fellow-prisoners. At this depth Joseph found his opportunity.

t 0 I

God was in command of every- thing that befell His chosen in- strument. He overruled for His own ends what the hate of Jos- eph's enemies drove them to do to him. Where the Greeks saw an inexorable fate determining the fortunes of men, the Hebrews saw a God of grace working out His plans for His people. Joseph's calamities were God's way of bringing the one man who could handle a world-crisis from the tents of,a nomad chleftain to the capital of a mighty empire.

We are told nothing of Joseph's spiritual experience. All that we know is that when two of the King's servants were imprisoned. and in their depression dreamed dreams which bore on their fate. Joseph was able to interpret their dreams and so foretell their fut- ure. He told them frankly that interpretations belonged to God. Evidently in the depths of his suf- ferings Joseph found. God, and lived thereafter in communion with Hi . Then when King Pha- raoh eamed dreams whlci; he felt bore on his pcople's future, the account of what Joseph had done for his officers brought Jos- eph into the King's affairs. The King recognized the moral quality and wisdom of this inspired inter- preter of dreams, and elevated him to the first place of power in the land.

Whittier wrote of the opponents of slavery in his time:

"God's ways seem dark, but soon

or late,

They touch the shining hills of

day;

The evil cannot brook delay,

The good can well afford to

wait. Give ermlned knaves their hour of crime;

Ye have the future grand and

great, , The safe appeal of Truth to Time." ,

Joseph's ' story illustrates the truth here expressed. To see God's design in your nature and God's purpose behlnd,youi- life is to find new meaning in all that concerns

' you. It means that God is in com-

mand of everything that happens to you. Affliction and prosperity are alike His instruments; He will make all that befall: you to serve the ends of love in your life. He will guide you to the place He has raised you up to all when you listen and obey. He will keep you

immortal until your work is done; then He will take you to Himself.

Seven. Days A Week-

(By Anne Shannon)

O --z- ,

Monday: What does the "housewife" really mean?

1. term Often, too often when a woman is asked what she does. she says al- most guiltly, "Oh me,.I'm just a

housewife." has been computed that if the services performed by the average housewife were paid for, she would earn at least sl50,000 in a. lifetime of 71 years-assuming that she married at the age of 21. so with gold at approximately thirty-fivc dollars an ounce, a. mere 120- pound housewife is worth more than twice her weight in gold. Think of all the roles a housewife has to assume in the run of an average day-and she is supposed to have the disposition of a saint and bounce out of bed in the early morning hours with the zest of an athlete tool She is, among var- ious other thlngs-a cook, nurse- maid, waitress, chauffeur (if she has to do much driving), house cleaner, laundress, dry cleaner. seamstress, dietitian, treasurer of the housekeeping funds, nurse (to bruised knees, etc.), and very often she has to be a psychologist to a bruised ego too! so when you get down in the dumps, remember this -no actress plays more parts in one day than a busy housewife does-and if you have time to do it give yourself a good pat on the back (if you're not fat and can reach that far!)

2. Tuesday: Speaking of fat- have you planned on getting your girlish figure back and after is few days of dieting you say, "Oh,

heck, what's the use. I guess I'll always be fat. It runs in my fam- ily anywayl" "Stuff and non-

sense," say doctors, food experts. beauty editors and so on. A met- ropolitan Life Insurance Company study shows, that the death rate of overweight women is one and one half times greater than that of women of normal weight. Is it safe to reduce? Doctors give a short and positive answ-r-tilt is dangerous not to reduce if you are overweight." some people think they can reduce easily by exer- cising. One woman said, "I'd rath- er eat all I want and work it off by exercise." Alas, the doctor gave her some sad statistics-to think about-that it takes at least I good two mile hike to dispose of the extra calories you get in three graham crackers. Of course sens- ible exercise along with reducing is a good idea-tones up flabby muscles and keeps the flesh from sagging. No. there is no short way to lose those surplus pounds. One eminent physicltin and surgeon describes fat in these blunt words: "It's grease-just grease!"

3. Wednesday: A couple of household hints that came my way during the past week are these: First, to keep your cook book from getting soiled and spattered when baking, use a sheet -of ordinary window glass to cover the opened pages. You may easily read your recipe through this and you keep your cook book spotlessly clean. Second, make door mats for piazza or porch this way: Wash ordin- ary feed bags-two of them, and when thoroughly dry, sew them to- gether one on top of the other with plain or colored thread. These have more "body" to them than one feed bag and they will bg easy to wash too.

4. Tliuisday: Someone once wrote and asked Albert Einstein what "relativity" was. Einstein dictated this definition for his sec- retary to send out to the curious "When you sit with a nice girl for two hours you think it's only a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove for a min- ute, you think it's two hours. That is relativity!"

5. Friday: This is a tasty sal- mon dish for. today's menu-Drain

- a. one pound can of salmon, re-

moving the skin and bones. Com- bine with 2 cups cooked lima beans in a 1 1-2 quart casserole. Mix 1 can cream of celery soup with 2-3 cup of whole milk and 1-2 tsp. of lemon junlce. Pour over the salmon. of noodles or about 1-2 cup of crushed potato chips. Bake in a moderate oven (350 degrees) for 80 minutes. You may store this in the refrigerator ilf not ready to bake it. However if you do it has to be baked 46 to 50 minutes. Serves 4 to 6 persons.

ii. Saturday: For the lady who wanted a. "big marble cake" re- cipe, here it is. Incidentally I made it last. Friday as a birthday cake (12 candles on top of this onel). it turned out fine. Iced with pink and white icing (nothing so drab

' as chocolate icing on a birthday

cake!) it makes an ideal cake for just this purpose. and it keeps (7) well too: 1 cup shortening, 2 cups sugar, 4 eggs, 3 cups flour, 4 tsps. baking powder, 3-4 tsp. salt, 1 cup milk, 1 tsp. vanilla, 2 squares (2 oz.) unsweetened chocolate, 3 tbsps. boiling water, l-8 tsp. bak- ing soda, 1-! tsp. almond extract Cream together sugar and short.- ening.

BULLETINS FROM BIRDLAND

Muir-'ns3'i:. wn.sois'

DUMI;-Y-EIRDS

The shape of birds varies as much as does their colouring or song. It is comparatively simple to identify a Cuckoo seen in sil- houette by the long body and hunched'shoulders, even when the long tail is hidden from .vlew. Like- wise the Kingfisher with big crested head and -short body is unmistakable. And it is not very hard to learn which species belong to the largest family of birds, all of which might be described as having round bodies, and, the great majority. cone-shaped bills. The real difficulty is to know the right word by which to call them, , because there has been much dis- cussion and overlapping of terms. Let us then conform to the pat- tern employed by the latest auth- critics, and give the family the
