INTRO itierioN=The store of Joseph was one of the most 'priceless belie ttges of the Hebrew people. ' The ac- count of .his romantic career should be read through as a whole; 'at one sitting. It tells of .a younger member of a family, kept down at first by the ei-vy of his brothers, and forced to f::ce many viscissitu: es- and diiffieu:- ties; •but-triurepiiing-over-thenr tgast by dint of a faithful spirit, ' and brought. in the providence of ' God,.. thraugh a surprising chain of circum- stances,._to.-a..position of.great .eleva-. tion and responsibility. "The ruling idea," says Skinner, "is expressed in, the weeds, .`Ye intended ' evil against me, but God intended it for good!' (50:. 20) ; it is she sense of an over- ruling, yet imminent, divine Provi- dence, realizing its purpose ..h:-ough the complex interaction of human mo- Cves, scorking out a result which no single actor contemplated." The story of Joseph is thus a study,. on the one han.i of the nature, of God's provi- dense in human affairs, and, on the other hand, of a truly regal cheraeter. I. JOSEPH THE TRUTH -TELLER, is. 1, 2. Like David, Joseph spent his early yeers as a shepherd. While he' was shepherding with .his ;brothers, Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher, he saw sech evil in their conduct that he was shocked. No mention is nikde of the erecise nature of their evil conduct, but it may have been neglect of their duties as shepherds, •n• the secret sale of the flocks and herds entrusted to them. What was Joseph to do? His brathers may' have threatened that if he did •n t hold :•lis tongue they would makeshiln suffer for it. If his heart was pure and his conscience terisitive, however, he could :dot • keep silent. Without fear of the .consequences, he brought a report of his brothers' con - 'vet to his father. In doing ,,mis�ccas he merely a malicious tale—beat—he? No, he simply proved himself no cow- ard, but one who set value upon truth above ail else. None th'e.less his fidel- ity to truth won for him the hatred of hie brothers: • • • 11. JOSE,PH. THE ENVIED, vs. 3,' 4. • In yet another, way Joseph beeamc the object of his brothers' Ihaired.

To us it may seem strange that Jacob should have singled out one son from the twelve and shown hint more Love than the others.

On• :he Whole; dreams were, regarded as prophetica fore- g of coming -events —eStene-bore their meaning on the surface, whf'.e others required to- bee'interpr-eted. Joseph's dreams belong tb'the former class, . The. #'first dream seems to 'set - gest suggest that'the family were. agricultur- ists.. .It.' was • intended,; • perhaps; to forecast, the time when the' brothers, on • account .of famine, would go •, to• Egypt, to buy corn, and would be forced to• bow before the prime min- ister. of Egypt—thei_• own brother; Joseph.' .The second 'dream, was still more unusual. .The great heavenly. bodies seemed to pause., on their way and 'look down with :roiling favor on the poor •Hebrew lad. • -Thin dream might be taken .es ,a prophecy of the ,high position that he • would hold in the future.. The dreams were of such singular nature that Joseph could• scarcely be blamed for not keeping them to himself. His brothers, on hearing' the were alt the more,bitt?r in their envy.' Soon they took active ,steps to frustrate the fulfilment of the dreams; bat the 'dreams came tree none the less! Even the father re- buked' Joseph for 'seeming arrogance. although- secretly he seems. to have had a presentiment that. they were • a, foreshadowing of .bri"iliiant things to come.'
