Well, the bread party, the bread en-
bassy, drives up in front of the corn
crib of Egypt These corn cribs are
filed with wheat and barley and corn
in the husk, for modern travellers in
those lands, both in Canaan and in
Egypt, tell us there is corn there cor
responding with our Indian maize.
Huzza! the journey is ended. The
Lord of the corn crib, who is
also the Prime Minister, comes
down to the newly-arrived travellers
and says, "Dine with me to-day. How
is your father? Is this Benjamin, the
younger brother whose presence l de-
manded?" The travellers are introduce
ed into the palace. They are worn and
bedusted of the way; and servents
come in with basin of water in one
hand and n towel in the other and
kneel down before the newly
arrived travellers, washing off
the dust of the way. The
butchers and poulterers and caterers
of the prime minister prepare the re-
past The guests are seated in small
groups, two or three at a table, the
food on a tray; all the luxuries from
imperial gardens and orchards and
aquariums and aviaries are brought
there, and are filling chalice and plat
ter. Now is the time for this prime
minister, if he has a grudge against
Benjamin to show it. Will he
kill him, now that he has him
in his hands? o, no! This lord of
the corn-crib is seated at his own
table, and he looks over to the tables
of his guests; and he sends a portion to
each of them, but sends larger por-
ion to Benjamin, or, as the bible
quantity puts 1t, "Benjamin's mess was
five times as much as any of theirs. T"

is faring sumptuously, the Egyptian
lord did not mean murder and death;
but he meant deliverance and life
when he announced to us on that day,
'Ye shall not see my face unless your
brother be with you"
Well, my friends, this world is fam
innsbruck of sin. 1t does not yield
single crop of solid satisfaction. 1t is
dying. II i, hunger-bitten. The fact
that it does not, can not feed a mans
heart was well illustrated in the life of
the English comedian. All the world
honored him-did everything for him
that the world could do. He was ap-
plaudcd in England and applauded In
the United States. He reused up ma
tions into laughter. He had no equal.
And yet, although many people sup
posed him entirely happy, and that
this world was completely satisfying
his soul, he sits down and writes:
II rever in my life put on new hat
that it did not rain and ruin it. i
never went out in a shabby coat be-
cause it was raining and thought all
who had the choice would keep indoors,
that the sun did not come out in its
strength and bring out with it all the
butterflies of fashion whom knew and
who knew me. l never consented to
accept part hated out
