THE National Sunday School Teache,
says: Heinrich Brugsch, who unques-
tionably is the best Psychologist OF the
times, has published ga History Of
Egypt Under the Pharoahs," in which
be embodies the results OF his investi-
cations among the Egyptian inscrip-
tious. Iu the tomb OF one Baba, who
lived in the time of the shepherd kings,
he has found remarkable ratification
of the Bible story of Joseph and the
famine. The inscription in that tomb
recites the praises of Baba after this
fashion: 81 gathered grain as we're l
a friend of the gods of the harvest. l
was careful at the period of seed time.
And when now a famine arose that
lasted many years, then | distributed
grain to the city in its Distress" From
other data Brngsch has no doubt that
this refers to the seven years. famine OF
the Mosaic record. From the same
source, also, we learn that the first high
dignity conferred upon Joseph was that
of -scultivator of the land" an express
sion which appears in the old Egyptian
script When be rose to the position
of the highest power behind the throne,
he bore the name of Adou, a title that
indicates ruler of high degree, and
which is now found upon the menu
ments. And so from the tombs come
voices that proclaim the truth of the
sacred records.
