formula for repelling mosquitoes. A
simpler and more effective repellent
Is oil of lavender, sprayed through

oil Is more efficient than cltronella,

Of all the strange Inventions which
this war has brought out, none Is
stranger than the uniform which is
shown In the picture. At night, in the
darkness of the trenches, the officers
don these phantom uniforms and
walk about In the open to Inspect the
lines. This they can do without fear
on account of the dress which makes
them practically Invisible because of
the black material of which It is made.
Two holes through which the wearer
can see and another hole through
which be can breathe are cut into the
hood.
Mammoth Had Eaten Moss.

TEXT He wiih there in the prison. But
the Lord wu with Jon'-ph. J;u. W.'X, 21.
Joseph's prison was made gloomy
by physical discomfort; by the myi-
tery of his suffer
Ing, although an
innocent,, man;
and by the fact
that after h 1 a
kindness to the
chief butler the
latter forgot blm.
Yet there was
light in the prison
and that in sev
eral directions.
Prisoners of the
Lord
To b-.nln with,
the text tells us
that "the Lord
was with Joseph."
As we express it
sometimes In singing one of our
hymns:
1'rtaons would pulnrrs prove
If Jesus would dwell with me there.
Paul was enabled to write the epistle
to the Philipplans with its keyword.
"Rejoice," from the Roman prison.
John Ilunyan In his "den" at Bedford
saw Immanuol's land and the Delcct
alilo mountains. Madam Guyon said
the Lord had shut her up In prison
like a bird, with nothing to do but
alng.
Again, tlio Lord gave Joseph favor
in the sight of the keeper of the prison
(Gen. 39:21). The hearts of kinjes are
In the hand of God and his afhX-ted
people may be certain that God Is
not at a loss when he wishes to re
lieve them. Stories more fascinating
than fiction could be written from the
lives of Christians who have been
given favor In tbe sight of the great
ones ot earth.
The Lord kept Joseph unselfish.
Most of us would have felt Justified In
nursing our troubles, but this man bad
"a heart at leisure from Itself, to
soothe and sympathize." One morning
Joseph noticed that his fellow pris
oners, the butler and baker, looked
sad. He Immediately Inquired the
causo and proceeded to help them to
tho best of his ability. After all, tbe
best way to bear one's burdens is to
help bear tho burdens of others. More
over, although Joseph little realized
it, his interest in theso prisoners
marked a crisis In his life; as a result
of It he finally came to the throne of
Egypt, but he was ready for the crisis
only because he was dally caring for
the interests of others. How little
wo know of the crises which every day
will bring forth, and how we need to
walk habitually so as to please God
If we are to meet these crises ade
quately! It Is evident that the Lord pre
served the faith of Joseph. We recall
his own dreams when In his father's
houso, and the assurance they gave
him that ho would come to a place
of elevation over his father and breth
ren; but here he was in the dungeon
and he would havo seemed Justified
had he lost faith In dreams. Yet that
this was not the case Is evident from
his Interpretation of the dreams of
the butler and baker, and his confi
dence that God would bring them to
pass. Psalm 105:19 (R. V.) tells us
that "until the time that his word
came to pass, the word of the Lord
tried him."
The Lord kept Joseph unretaliatlng.
When speaking with the chief butler
he said, "I have done nothing that
they should pu me Into tho dungeon"
(Gen. 40:15). Not a word does he
utter concerning that wicked woman.
Potlphar's wife, who hod designed
his ruin. How slow even Christians
are to learn that they need do no
unkind thing In order to fulfill the
plans of God! "Ho shall bring forth
thy righteousness as the light and
thy Judgment as the noonday."
Hoping in God.
Altogether, God was training Joseph
to hope In himself nlono and to oTiey
him In any event. Doubtless his hopes
of deliverance were high when the
chief butler left the prison, yet two
long years passed before deliverance
came. Hy tho graco of God Joseph
was kept from growing rebellious, but
persisted In the way of duty. When
God finds a man who will plod on,
delighting to do bis will under all
circumstances, he will quickly set him
In a large place and put a scepter In
his hand. Joseph was tn training for
a throne and so are all true followers
of Christ.
What a misfortune If the chlof but
ler had remembored JoBoph according
to his promise! Joseph might have
been delivered from the prison and
sent away a free man out of the land.
but scarcely more than this. How his
story encourages us to trust and not
be afraid!
The Christian's Easy Chair.
An aged Christian woman living in
deep poverty was asked how she bore
her troubles. She said when they be
came especially heavy she sat In hor
easy chair and rocked them away.
The visitor looked about for this won
derful chair, but saw no trace of It,
until finally the happy saint explained
that it was Romans 8:28, "All things
work together for good to thera that
love God."
Church an Educator,
We often forget that a church Is an
educational Institution. For a man to
absent himself from church services
because he feels a religious deficiency
Is like a boy staying away from school
because he Is ignorant. The Christian
Register.
Love.
Love Is the highest gift of God:
humble, gentle, patient love; all vi
sions, revelations, manifestations
whatever are little things compared to
love. John Wesley.
