There was the temptation, always keenly felt by 'an. Oriental ruler, to. fleece the populace and to promote his own interests; the temptation to bask in the royal favor and the plaudits of the multitude, and to neglect the. res- ponsibilities attached to great office; the temptation also to turn cynical from the bitter experiences of. the years that.had gone'and, now, in office, to make .others suffer as he once suf- fered: ' Joseph, however, was as noble in power as, he had been in privation. He had been made -the-administreter of the whole land of Egypt. Usually -there wasanlministrator for -Low Egypt, andanother for Upper Egypt. But a critical emergency was fore- seen; Joseph had been granted pow- ers extraordinary for copin.e with it. The. reign I_of • Amenophis IV... in the New Kingdom- has been suggested es the most likely background for 'Jo- seph's administration. At that time Egypt was under an official bureau- c:acy with h 'highl'y centralized gov-. •ernments Joseph's agrarian policy would be- possible 'at that time, for :Pharaoh was then regarded as the land owner bl` the whole of Egypt. In order to carry • out his policy Joseoh traversed ,. the land, visiting ail the nomes (or districts), together with their leading cities. He had recon-- .tended to the Pharaoh that' in the seven ' years of plenty, twenty per cent: of the -crop -Should he stored -as a provision for the lean years. The Egyptians n -ere thus taught the home- ly virtue of thrift. The grain wee .shred in state' granaries in the capi- tal towns of the various districts. From numerous paintings. on Egyp- tian ruins, it is possible to form an idea of these granaries.' They' were cenicelly-shaped, day buildit}gs. A series -of them w.:s enclosed within a daughter of one of .the priests of On, or Heliopolis, north of Cairo, where an obelisk of the old sun -temple still stands. From very early times On was the seat of a ` -nighty and wealthy priesthood. Their religion was a ma- ture of the worship of Re, the sun- god; with the worship .of 'a local god, Atum. The high priest of On was one of the most influential'. persons in the kingdom.,This alliance thus link- ed Joseph with the most powerful in- terests of Egypt. Without abandon- ing; in any way,; his faith „iii the : God of his fathers, . Joseph thoroughly identified himself with the life of his adopted country. The sons of this union were givennames which me- morialized the goodness of God to Jo- seph:' In , ancient tinesnames were ..not--nierely._names. They served to indicate character or the .circu:n- stances under which one was born or lived. III.

Sometimes, ho*evel:, the waters c f the Nile were diminished through lack of rainfall ' in the , interior of Africa,. and failed .to .overflow i s banks. This, of course,' occasioned famine with all its miseries. Two 'pro- longed periods . of drought in Egypt area matter of historical knowledge: `This condition .now prevailed during Joseph's administration. The drought was international in its scope and, therefore, • very serious. _ T.hanls to Jose,►h's policy, however. Egypt had enough and•to .spare: ' Joseph, as vir- tual dictator, -was himself in supreme control of the state granaries. He was thus in a position to supply his bra- thers with corn when. they cadre 'from Canaan. • MUTT AND JEFF-• By BUD .FISHER • KNOW Md.. Vee The. GvY Witt/ END a.o.
