II q Filipino enters the house Of 4
European living In an unnssumInr
way, he viii not believe that the Eu-
ropean Is either wenlii.y or wise. and.
although his manner may be correct,
It will not be humble. On the other
hand, II he visits an ignorant man
who INDUCES IN great splendor. he will
at once become exceedingly respectful.
Mr. Phelps Whitma csh. who In The
Outlook gives his e. r,ences In the
Islands. tells the ST. q a wealthy
provincial visiting % fsr the first
time, who asked to be presented to the
governor general.
When be reached the palace. he
found the governor To- M oalfce on
lis piazza. dressed orifortably In a
white cotton suit. The Filipino re-
quested that some favor be extended
TO his district. and his request was
granted. He then withdrew. The OH
cial who had procured the presenta-
ton asked him what he thought Of the
general
"Why." replied the visitor In a tone
Of disappointment, 'he Is no different
from any other white man."
1t so happened that the general was
told OF the incident, and he rave or
ders that at his text reception the
Filipino should be present.
Upon entering the throneroom and
seeing the general in full uniform,
surrounded by his brilliant STAFF. with
the accessories Of splendid tapestries,
laced ushers and all the ponlp and
splendor Of these Spanish functions,
the provincial grew pale and. kneeling
In deep humility. exclaimed:
This is indeed my general"
So impressed was he that the fol-
lowing morning he sent a pair OF hand
some horses to the general with a note
which read: 2
"My general. yesterday I liked you
so much in your uniform Of gold that
| send you this pair of horses. but do
not use them when you dress In a
white suit"

the land under the king, and by his
prophetic power and practical wis
dom saves the people from starvation
during the years OF famine. When
his own family come down to Egypt,
and humbling his brothers, reveals
himself to them as one sent by God
to save much people alive. -
All these things should be called to
mind as we review the life Of Joseph.
We should see in him one who faith
fully did his duty, whether as shepz
herd, messenger to his brothers, SER
want of Potiphar, or governor Of
Egypt. and we should learn that q
man in whom the Spirit OF God is, "
as was said Of Joseph, will do any
work which God gives him just as
well as be can. High or low, rich, or
poor, conspicuous or unknown, he
will accept the place God gives him
and make the most of it for the glory
of the Father and the good OF his fell
lowmen. We should not fail also to see
in the history of Joseph many fore
shadowings Of the earthly life OF
Jesus. He was despised and rejected,
sold for money by his enemies. regard
ed as one dead and whose career had
ended in sorrow. But we see him also
true to God in the midst of sore temp
tation, and, at the last, crowned with
glory and honour, and saving with Q
great deliverance all who looked to
him for safety.
We come now to the fifth and last
character Of this review. 1t IS
MOSES. the man Of God. There is no
other character in the Old Testament
Of whom SO much is recorded. The
name Of David comes next in the
amour of history which relates to
him, and the number and extent OF
the sacred writings connected with
his name. But Moses is recruitment
1y the hero of the Old Testament. In
recent lessons we have seen him as
an infant hidden in the bulrushes BY
his loving mother, taken out by the
Kings daughter and made her son,
nursed by his mother and taught the
faith in his fathers God which led
him when the came to years to choose
to suffer with his own people. We
have seen his first rash ATTEMPTS at
freeing Israel, his flight to INDIAN,
his forty years in communion with
God in the wilderness, his meeting
with Jehovah at the bush, his return
ito Egypt, his long and finally success
full contest with Pharaoh and his tri-
umphant leading of Israel out OF the
land Of Egypt. We have seen him as
leader. In the chapters which fol-
low we shall see him, when we come
to study them, as q lawRiver. But
we must turn now to the New Testa-
ment for time and we shall see that
while the law was given by Moses,
grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
