Stories of Isjael
(By Charles Malcolm)
(Continued from last week)
Chapter XXXVII
DIGNITY AND ROYALTY
It shad 'loo'ked like a picnic party
'with %w'a'gorn ;roadie, of children climb-
- Ing 'overt.. their s'eda'te m!athere and
'the o>id grenrddather sitting up in the
driv'er's seat am the 'first wagon!—all
going to Egy'p't. '
It }had been agreed, on Joseph's
suggestion, that they would tell Phar-
oah that they -were shepherds •-- and
• Je eph kr;e+w that Pharoah would
send the }whale dangly t'a 'lan'd of
Ce•-s'hen bo 'b'e she'ph'erds far the Egyp-
tiansl—and they Would not need to
Mix with the Eb,yptclaiva at all..
Joseph" went to Pharoah's (palace
the. . next' day and told Pharoah, "My
tfather, and my brothers, 'wilth t'he'ir
flecks and herds and all they po'ss'ess,
!have arrived f'ro'm Canaan, and are
in the land of •Go'shenr"' Joseph had
taken five of his brothersalong with
;him and presenteof them to Pharoah,
who asked thea!, "What is pour oc-
eupat!lon'?" And they answered, ."Thy'
servants are shepherds; ' We have
come t•o stay in thy co'un'try for
tt'here is rlo fend nor fodder flor our
flocks' in our own country. Pray',
hen, a'li ' thy servants to remain .in
thy '''eouritry."
Pharoah. was 'perfectly willing. He
•'would db anp'thlirg for Joseph's ,peo-
tp'Sa. So he toi!d them to stay as long
as they wished in the best 'pasture
lands in Egypt -=in the land of Gosh-
en. And, appa'rentl'y, as an 'ailtere
'thought, he asked if they would look
after Pharcralh's cattle and •slheep,.tao.
Of course they would -so it was" ar-
ranged,
Then Pharoah -called J1o'seph to his
own private office to inquire after
Joseph's father. Why wouldn't the
:Phaa'c:ah-vire:?! ••to-anreetehiseprinse-ex in—
de'ter's father? It was all planned
in detail when Ieraei would come to
visit Pharoah. •
J'oslep'h !sent his ehal}iot over to the
lard of 'Goshen for his father.. It
was a wonderful little chariot—the
hest known 'cuttt in all Egypt. The
tell Ethiopian driw'_•r was v .roomed
e: eeywhe•re, Everybody knew 'hitrr,
and down 'in 'the land of Cxasnben th+e
children ofIsrael soon c'aane to know
ase. .
Israel '.:wiped out of his tent to get
• int a • th_ .c':r:ar•iot—•ara 'the 'old' man
had 'ones of }the'-deete'st rides- he ever
expect-e:a..JO have. It. alindst took his
breath away, but ha•'was getting us-
ed t'a this fast Egyptian life, and he
. was soon at Pharos+h's palace
Joseph tier* him in and .presented }hats
to Pharoah:
P+ha'rcah had a kindly feeling to -
.'ward J! etch ark' Joseph's people, so
•it was riot iral that he was• friendly
to Joseph's father.
Israe'1 did not 'bo'w down. before
Phar'aah}—everybody was supposed to
'da sci—•but I'smaed limped np the steps
and s•alutedl—that was all. Israel had
'been a ,poR-_rfu'1 s•h2ik.in the land of
Canaan, Where he m•et cher tribal
leaders as egirarl—Pharoah was just
es .c tie of th..sm . Israel w'3uld
lr: w before no one bet Gad.
'Pharoeh pr•';e,r.'dzd that he did 'not
notice Israel's ..neglect to bow -and
began ec.ne small 'talk da make the
cid man feel at ease!
"'P.pw QM are you ?"
"Just •one hu'ndr.e.d and thirty, not
s!a very old yet; 'my father live3. to
be ono hundred and eighty, and my•
'grandfather one hundr'e'd an,d, siderite
five—I am not 'very, old yet—but ' I
brave had a let of trouble in these
few -years.
"And 'what 'is' your occupallen?"
"We are herdsmen—;ny fa't.her be-
fore me .and my chil'dre'n after me—
.'all herdsmen."
• '.. lit was- reall•.y • a disappointment • to
Pharoah t'a be told so plainly by all
• who came to him -that they. were
• herd.slnen. To 'Pharoah, 'a !herdsman
was a d'i'rty, unshaven, 'p'nveity strick-
• en wretch, whoe•'e caathes smelled of
• .sheep and .'goats—and far him to
think of Jos•e;_,p:n's people es; .being
▪ •air ng that c"_'a:ss' was meet disturb-
s ing. But Ph'a'rea'h .had• to make the
r est mf'it; a- n&ihe--let-Jbselph's-•fhmily
• �' ,stay in the pasture land's of 'Goshen.
Re would' n'at s'ee • ,much of them
-there.
Pharloah would aismiss Israel then,
Ter the interview was. closed, but Is -
rreel had taken charge of the• 'comer-

_situation and when he was ready to

May 6 (Sunday)—We have had a
very quiet • night, A gated deal of
rade has fallen throughout the morn-
ing rovi!!h a heavy thick gull around
urs. By 8 ,o'clock'I,he rain increased
and 'contin'u'ed so t:ii•1 12; when it
clea'r'ed up, the wind going around to
the north-east; it lis very sharp and
cold. Two whales.were ,seen near
the ship in the forenoon aking the
water spout a great he'i'ght in the
air: I did •not see them being'other-
wilse eer'gaged at the time. They
were only in, sight for a short time.
A +uyip was seen away'. north from
as about 12 o'clock at a great dis-
`tance. In the; afternoon - the Wind
again changed to the 'southwest and
it is .now nearly right •ahead of us..
This is now my third 'Sabbat'h on the

seen at a great d'is•tance on the. h'or-

Morning. Shortly after that a Ne"w`-�'
foundl'and' s'choone'r ,pre.secuting the'
•real fishing pas's'ed .us and,. about 9
o'clock a French boat passed us; like-
wise foe fishing. She had up, I think,
about three eaiils. The day through-
out has .been very gloomy and cold,
as. cold, • I think, as ever I spent in
the month of May. I have plenty Of
elothts on me -but for all. that I "have
been shivering all day, every- other
body apparently in the same cent -
tion. One of •'the passengers .named
WTh ant Aldan has two children,' the
'aldest on•e • a girl of about 4 years
of age, who is newly but •of the

'nobody to attempt a voyage of 5 to
6 weeks to America or, anywhere else
With a lot of young children, as they
are a' terrible care and handful. .
May &-A fins morning but very
cold. There was a ship alongside of
us this morning. Her. na.nse waif the
"."Nonsuch" 'of • Liverpool, bound for
.Quebec. She was •'a • Irarger. • vessel
than • ours. • In the courses . of the
forenoon we , got (before her a good
distanced At 12 •o'ei:ock we changed
our course a little and went close by
our companion ship. There was a
pretty good wind' at the time and we
being so near bei; we, got a splendid
view of her in full sail. I -think there
is nothing nooks so grand as a ,ship
in full sail at sea, getting up .and
then down again among the waters.
We have been sailing for a number
of days hack on what they call the
banks of Newfoundland. ' We have
•
hand over the head of Pharoah,:
Pharoah was su'rprise'd at the turn
of affairs. HHe• fed -shed, Israel would go
and ret get too familiar—why shlould
he stand there without bowing? Why
tibis new indignity? Why should a
common herdsman . . . ? But no
this is not a 'comim'on he•r'dsmran—'it
is Jlc's'ep'h's fathe+rJand now Pharoah
knew that Jolse'p!h's father was great-
e'r thari 'Pharoah.
And ,Phar•'oaih bowed his head as
Isr'a'el gave his blessing, "May the
.God Of my father bless you and keep
you"
'T'he'n Israel turn'e'd and with true
pa'tria'rchal florm .he walked .with Jos-.
epth out of Pharoa'h's palace.,
Joseph drove 'h'im home that day,
back to his tent in the land of Gosh-
en . . . They visited together for
an Incur and all the nephews gather-
ed around the grandfather's tent—to
see their uncle and Joseph again.
'In a little while Joseph hnrrrie'd out
—so 'hap'pyl—'he ,sinli'le'd on all the -lit-
tle children of Israel—stepped into
his chariot, up, beside 'his big 'black
"driver --waved . a good-bye, and was
off.

'Oantain and then the pulling of the
ropes and the helloing co'mtmenees,

minutes sa'i'ls and ship are turned in

been . a fine• day with clear sunshine,

made a gaud -•!'run all day, fully eight
miles an hour with very little swell
