Joseph Faithful in Prison.
"The iron crown <>f sutTcring pre-
cedes the golden crown of fclory."
l\ B. Meyor.
The • fascination in this four-thous-
and-year-old story is, that it is a
study in Life, it is not a middle age
piece of scholasticism, bat u warm-
blooded history of human nature;
not t dissertation on metaphysical
generalities, but a tale of ^human
emotions, as they are felt today, and
every day, and • vcrywlu n . Jt is the
"proper study of numliiml." U con-
cerns Alan, and is consequently uni-
versally interesting:.
The effort to retell the story is fu-
til< . To n i lathe it is to do violence
to it. its own dress is its only dress.
Its simplicity, genuineness, fidelity,
make ii a masterpiece of literature.
As in a microcosm, one wees hero
Hit; evolution of a man and a states-
man. Tlii' circumstances which
seem tu retard really accelerate the
process.
Joseph had learned how to "take
honey on\ of the cater"— one of the
If nest ijnd most useful arts of life.
As a slave, he made himself indis-
pensable to his master. Two thous-
and years before St. Paul, he lived
the apostle's maxim. He served not
as a "rnan-pleaser, but as unto the
Lord." A quaint version describes
him as a "luckie folowc." I hit even
his heathen mister could discern the
Divine aeeompunynti'ut to his human
th* 1ft at d in lastly, and acknowledg-
ed that "the Lord tnade all he did to
prosper In his hand,"
Yet all the while there was the
poignant sense of humiliation. Tie-
heir of a prince must needs wear tho
brand of a slave. Ills hard lot how-
ever, could not make ;i pessimist or
inlsanthropi of him. His engaging
quaJities were uneclipsed. I'neon
sciously, he was schooling for the pre-
miership. Faithful in few things, he
was to be lord of man> llis very
attachment to J'otipluu, chi'T captain
of Ihe royal guard, and keeper of the
royal prison, made him conversant
with affairs and men and methods of
state, invaluable to him in his after
career. *
The next incident seemed to plunge
Joseph in irretrievable ruin. An Or-
iental prison is a descent t hell,
which may well be insc ribed, "Leave
all hope behind who enter here."
The account is perfectly faithful to
Oriental judicial processes. in that it
makes no allusion to a trial. There
was none. Accusation w is suflielent.
Nor is there any refer, nee to the t-nil
for which Joseph was committed,
11 was indefinite. It was tho pleas-
ure of Potiphar. Hud the latter pass-
er! from the seenc. a new commander
of Its prison would hnv- found no re-
cord in Jo:. oil's ease, and ho might
have languished for a lifetime.
Yet. oven in prison, Joseph was still
the "luckie man" the Ilishop's Bible
calls him. For, in the shortest space
"l time, the prisoner was the prison-
keeper; and whatever was done there,
he did it and it prospered.
All things kept working together
tor good to Joseph -his brothers'
malignant jealousy; his transforma-
tion into *i la\. , his e\Ho from his
native land; and foul and false ac-
cusation; his Imprisonment as man
seeth, each was a step in the decen-
sus inferno; as <3od seeth, . and as
man saw afterward, each was a step
In staircase leading to throne and a
coronation; a new verification of an
old saying. "Through tribulation deep
the way to glory Is."
Yet all turned on the character of
Jos< ph. A meretricious and evan -
scent pronation might have come to
him even hud he been insincere and
corrup at heart. Hut a permanent
exaltation In the hearts of his own
and his adopted countrymen; an'at-
silted position a111 ni; tho immortal
worthies in the kingdom and patlenc-
of God a good life only can win
that distinction. *

THE TEACHERS LANTERN
It was the contention of tho lat•
John f-'isk that evil must needs b«
present; that morality comes up hi
the scene when there is an alterna-
tive offered of living better livt or
worse lives; tliat the action of the
ideal man is to be deiermhu-il not by
the pursuit of pleasure and the avoid-
ance of pain, but the pursuit of
goodness and the avoidance of evil.
But Joseph, lout* thousand years
j ago, splendidly realized Mr. Flsk's
ideal in lOgypt. the horm if nil-
chastity (.marital), where marriage
Infidelity was prevalent (Herodotus),
under tho most seductive and per-
sistent solicitation, he kept himself
pure. Joseph shines brilliantly as an
ancient example of chastity. Tho ex-
ample is inspirational for young men
of to-day.
John Kuskiu makes a fine discrim-
ination, and a helpful one, yi this con-
nection. when ho says, depreciating
his own "bringing up," that he was
innocent "by protection rather than
virtuous by choice." "Innocence by
protection" is a feeble thing, apt to
be surprised and taken by guile; anil
protection, aL best, can only be ap-
proximate.
"Virtue by choice." like that of Jo-
seph. is the ever-accumulating virile
force that makes for right living. The
deliberate, intelligent, free, continuous
preference of the good, tho true, the
beautiful, is the charm and wisdom of
saintliness. The very constitution of
the world, natural and social, is des-
ignated io afford opportunities for
such preferences.
Mr, Fisk affirms that though, in the
process of spiritual evolution, evil
must needs be present, the nature of
evolution also requires that it shall
be evanescent. "From the general
analogies furnished in the process of
evolution, wo are entitled to hope that
as it approaches its goal, and man
comes nearer to God, the fact of evil
will lapse into, a mere memory, in
which the shadowed past shall serve
as a background for the realized glory
of the present."
Joseph's clothes kept gcuing him
into tro'uble, though he was in no way
r< sponsible. First, it was his coat of
many colors, with which his father
had invested lihn, perhaps, in token
that he was to have the rights of
primogeniture. Sight of it enraged
his brothers. Now. it was tho cloak
he left in the clutch of an adulterous
woman, and which her illicit love
turned to deadly hale, she could ns-
as evidence against him. People's
clothes are still getting them into
trouble, and with more reason.
"Remember me when it shall he
well with thee." That smack of
worldly wisdom Hut it may lie in
appearance only. To avail one's self
of legitimate human means does not
necessarily signify ill all that one has
tbandoned his trust in God. However,
the butler forgot.
Enslaved at seventeen; a slave ten
years; a prisoner three years; prion
minister' at thirty—that is Joseph's
history in a nutshell. The scene of it
probably Heliopolis, m ar the. modern
<'airo.
Joseph's victory shows how a man,
especially a. young man. is to over-
come temptation The first require-
ment is, Walk .e- in the ail-seeing
presence of God: the second, Fight
with ihe weapons of the Word, in tho
light of dut> ; the third. Avoid 'the oc-
casions of sin; the fourth, Firmness
above all things, and, if it must be,
flight, with loss of the good name and
even of life itself. Grange.) Such
flisht is more honorable than the m-ei
heroic deed <i'alwer> The fear of
God is the h« i means of grace f. <
avoiding sin a«nd shame. (Lange.) In
a temptation to adultery or fornica-
tion, flight becomes the most pressing
necessity. (Ibid.) Jo eph In his
mantle g<*, hut hoi.i: onto a good con
science, t kruinbm m her >
The paradoxes of Joseph; A -lave,
yet a freeman; unfortunate, yet the
child of fortune; • forlorn, yet still In
the presence of God; object of ini
pending wrath, jet preserved alive, a
prisoner, yet a prison-keepe! , every
way subdued, yet superior to his con
dltlon; his misfortune his fortune, his
fortune his misfortune.
