is love. -1. Com eine 19.
A man's character is the best cone
ellentary on his philosophy. 11 you re-
member that the one who rises to the
sublime heights of this song of love
was not a singer of sweet, sentimental
ditties, but a great, impetuous soul, who
through years of perilous Mil spent
himself In services for humanely, you
begin to see what lie meant by love,
Love is not an emotion; it is not In
itself a passion. It is a principle, a law
of life and service Which bears fruit in

passion, 11 consists not in the way we
feel toward others, but in the relation

leant for men, but of your service for
them,
The love Mut blindly follows the env -
lions and the passions may be so es-
sentially selfish as to sweep ono on to
degradation; the love that definitely,
perhaps in apparent coldness, deter-
mines upon the service of others, the
gift of the fife to others, lifts tbe soul
Q the fact and the heart to the likeness
of the lelost High.
THIS LOVE IS SELF -GIVING.
The great Teacher could call on men to
love one another, even as Ile loved
them because the one great and signi-
fleare fact of his love was that he was
ever under the moral and spiritual Im-
pulse of the conviction that Ile was
giving His life to the world. There re-
main to us no emotional love phrases
from His lips; there remains the picture
af love in action, going about ever do-
ing good.
Out of the principle of love, the adop-
tion of this philosophy which regards
life as one grand opportunity to be ef
service, regards every other being as
an opportunity to help or cheer, grows
the real joy of living, springs emotions
divine and heaven been. You Cannot
ewe In this way without. becoming
lovely.
Eyes of love transfigure all tee erect -
lion. Only the stiffish become cynical.
It is greed, the philosophy of getting and
ginning, teat muted the world seem env -
by, checieless, a tomb of blasted anibt-
Bons. But to thoge who seek the good
of others, the flowers of joy and kind-
ness, the beauties 01 hope and human
faith, all things that are good abound
more and more,
Love gives whatever eve have to hu -
madly in the faith that it is worth
while, It eve% the seed of kindness,
gentleness, courage, aspiration, in faith
that the seed wtil bear fruit to the fu-
ture; it scatters pearls of wisdom, be-
ItevIng thal men are better than Swine.
And out of fulth in 11100, hope tor thane
and semen and self -giving to them, rise
the sadsfying emotions of life,
LOVE 13ECOMES A PASSION.
Where Is there greatee enthusiasm,
stronger evidence of compelling motives
and dominating Impulses than in those
men and women who have tasted of
the joy of serving their fellows, giving
heir lives In lowly or in lofty ways that
other lives Might be the richer? There
is more of eternal power and sublime
poetry tri the giving of one cup of cold
eater in the name and, smelt of the
Master of Love than In all the loee son-
nets ever written.
The true and full sett is found only
through love's service. Never is .the
mother nobler than when love leads to
the lowliest service. Never do we tinti
the glory of life until we are willing to
embrace its shame, 11 only our loved
ones, our kin or friends, our race er
world, may be enriched and saved.
The secret of making the most of love;
the secret of saving the world Iles here.
We need not walt for the mighty 101-
p111110 of some great affection, some
overpowering emotion. We need not
wait for the hour In which we may do
some great, world attracting deed. LOV.13
gives Itself to that which Iles nearest;
it service never halts for opportunity.
The least thing done In this spirit of
self -giving unlocks the door of loves
joys and blessings and makes us part-
ners with the Lord of Love and Life.

Lesson VI. Joseph Forgives His Bro-
thers. Golden Text: Bpi'. 4. 32. •
THE LESSON WORD STUDIES.
Based on the text of the Revised Ver-
sion.
Intervening Everets.--After briefly re-
ferring to the birth of Joseph's two sons
our Genesis narrative, following Me text
of our last lesson, proceeds to an ac-
count of the important events transpim
Ing during the years of famine in
Egypt. The famine extended beyond the
borders of Egypt and was fell, also in
the land of Canna where Jacob dwelt
with his sons. These are sent into
Egypt to buy corn and are recognized
bv their brother Joseph. Having volun-
teered the informatton at their flrst in-
terview that they have still a younger
brother at home, Joseph, In order to
lest them, demands to see this younger
brother. Simeon, therefore, is left cap-
tive at the court M Pharaoh as a guar-
antee that when the brothers come again
they will bring Benjamin with them.
On their second jemmy to Egypt Ben-
jamin itecompapies his brothers and the
whole party are entertained at a ban-
quet by Jeseph who still conceals his
identity from them. On this occasion
Benjamin is especially honored, and the
Ineithers, to their astonishment, ara
placed at the table in order of Meer age.
Upon leaving Egypt their money is again
returned to them secretly, Joseph's cup
being al, the same time placed in Renee,
aniet's sack. They are recalled and
detught before Joseph. Judah, speaking
in tiv name of his brethren, admits that
a just mtributiooi has befallen them in
this inexplicable event ; and afterwards,
-
speaking in Ms own name, makes an
eloquent Intermission in behalf of his
yetinger brother, offering to himself re-
plan In servitude in his etead. Over -
COMP. hy the carnesInese and pathom ot
:hullers weeds, and convinced that his
brethren have changed in character for
the better shire their cruel treatment of
himself..Toseph discloses himself to them.
At first his brothers are unable to answer
him, but, encouraged by the warmth and
tenderness of his greeting Mete lairs are
allayed, Joseph assures them that all
that has trams -piled in his life has been
permitted by Providence in order that he
might in this time of need be an instru-
ment in God's hand for the preservation
of tho lives of many. The details of the
scene of Joseph's making himself known
to his brethren belong to the text of our
to -day's lesson.
Verse 1, With the begining of this
chapter we reach the elimax of the whole
story of Joseph.

tian serveitts.

Owen to tile court servants attending
Joseph, nnd oilier Egyptians which may

2. He wept aloud—Hebrew, "Gave
forth his voice in weeping." The litera-
ture 01 1111 ancient Oriental people bears
testimony to the fad that the emottons
pleyed a much larger part in the life of
these early .Mastern peoples than It does
in modern Occidentals. Thus the sol-
diers in royal armies enemas gave way
• loud lamenting and weeping when
they rnel, with disappointments in their
plane of campaign.

find theinselve,s.
5. God eid send me before you—As In
his earlier tire and during the time of his
humiliation -in prison, so now in the day
of his triumph and glory, Joseph gives
God credit for every geed turn in OVelaS,
and points out the providential purpose
and ditv.ellon In the events which have
transpired.

S. A father to Pharaoh—A figurative
expression for beneficent adviser and

the expreeedon "chief father" is st•ill used
as a title for the principal minister at
state.
10. The land of Goshen—From the
Egyptian "Kesem" or "lees." A name, or
administrative district, in lower Egypt
beteveen the Nile Myer and the Bitter
Lakes, a lowland region made marvel-
lously fruitful by means of canals lead-
ing from the Nile. The district is still
considered to have the best pasture land
in Egypt.

tism shown by a Hebrew in high posi-
tion in a foreign land to a fellow -coun-
tryman Is given in Bsther 8. 1-8, which

table fate which must come upon them
In Paleetine before the remaining years
el famine still to come are pass. Tho
bitter, abject poverty which came upon
the Egyptians themselves is vividly de-
scribed in the succeeding narrative.
14. And he fell upon hie brother Ben-
jamin's neck—Now that Joseph, had suc-
ceeded in making his brethren under -
eland the situation and his own feelings
toward there, the actual greeting takes
place, Benjamin receiving the first and
\\mimed welcome.
The long passage which intervenes between the two sections of our lesson text
{Gen. 45. 16.50. 14) should be considered
as part of the lesson for to -day. In this
passage are recorded the migration or
Jacob into Egypt, his welcome there at
the hand of Joseph and also at the court
of Pharaoh, a Itst of the descendants
which accompanied him out of Palestine,
Me settlement 01 1110 Hebrews in the land
of Goshen, and the selection of Ioseples
brethren to have charge of the cattle and
herds belonging to the king, the progress
of the renew) and the extreme poverty
which came upon the once independent
land holders of Egypt. The Egyptiene,
after spending all their money for corm
part with their cattle and finally °free
Pharaoh their lands and Iliemeeleas in

This results, according to the imitative,

GIANTESS IS BASHFUL
WOMAN

Not Nice to be Stared at --But the-Clenk
of Gold Has Lines—Refused
Offer of Marriage.
A shy giantess seems something of an
anomaly, but there was not the slightest
doubt—writes a London Daily Chronicle
representative—that when I walked into
the room where Monied', the Tyrolese
giantess, Is lodging in Leicester square,
that the lady was extremely nervous.
You see, she hod never been interviewed
beide, and itIs only five months since
she Idl, the secrecy of her village for the
wide, open world to Mare at her. Sho
sot on a Cileir with the crown of her
curious Slack bat—shaped like that
which a Babbt wears in the synagogue—
almost touching the ceiling, a placid ex-
pression upon laer enormous face, her
great hands, as large as dinner plates,
resting in her lap, One's first impres-
sions are of wonder and curiosity, and
of awe as one would feel in the presence
ol someone so obviously superhuman.
Mariedl did not seine, the great pallid
face would repel one, but when she
smiles, a healthy. ear -to -ear smile, you
realize that she possesses that whin
alone could make the life of a giantess
tolerable—a sense of humor as broadles
het own smile.
HER BIOGRAPHY.
We talk. My voice is a feeble, piping
echo lo her own throatygruff voice,
rumbling from her chest, and reverberat-
ing through the room. She tells me her
biography in shy monosyllables. Here is
the substance of it :. Sime was as tall as
now when fifteen years old, and she has
been told that it is because het great
grandfather was such a tall man. Her
people have lived in Rideau, in the Au -s-
team Tyrol, as far back as memory goes.
She was quite happy, for she used to
work on her father's term. He has five
cows, a horse or two, and a lot of
ground. She used to do the work of five
men in the fields. She is twenty-seven
years old now. •
Somebody in Berlin heard of Mariedrs
existence, and thereupon efforts were
made to get her to go on the stage.
She didn't want to leave her home at all.
("11 is not nice to be stared at," she ex-
plained.) And the priest of the village,
anxious for the welfare of her soul,
sternly forbade it.
The farmer father thought ruefully of
the five mon he would have to engage
in the steewart Mariedl's place, but per -
5085100, backed up with the chink of
gold, won the day, and Mariedl de-
partml from her village to see the world.

attacks of "Helmweh," and on such
occasions elle weeps great raindrops of

send so much money to her parents;
and she is glad to find thai she, the ugly
duckling of the village, the sport of de-
risive pciasents behind her back, and
whose fattier complained not unjustly
that, though she did the work of Live,
she had the appetite of ten, is now re-
garded as a modern miracle, and a pate
tern of virtue and dutifulness,
If you ask her whether she likes being
O giantess, she will rock her head sadly,
and say that she would rather be the

is never hungry, who can wear ordinary
clothes, and Wb0 doesn't have to sleep
on two mattresses on the floor.
LOVES CHILDREN.
Yet for one thing Mariedi says she Ls
thankful. Children are not armed of her,
and she loves children with all the heart
