 Comment and Suggestive Thought.

Joseph's is the history of . man who Kept his heart pure and tender. and who thereby gained that wisdom which comes only to the pure in heart"-Charles Kings ley.
 Light from the Cioud.-1.' How brightly shone Joseph's character in the presence of this shameful propos- al! His answer at once took the highest ground: CD recognizing the iact that the deed would be sin against God, and (2} that it would De base treachery toward his kind master. And so he did the best thing possible. he ran away from the tempt ress. though he must leave his coat in her haNis. 'It is better to

lose good coat than a good con- science "-Matthew Henry.
 The Dark Cloud of Slander.-Gen. S9: 1919. On Joseph's refusal of Poti- phars wife. the rapid change in her feeling illustrates Milton's keen ob- servation that lust dwells hard by hate. "--Dods Her shameless ac- cusation of Joseph to her husband was the harder for him to bear because she accused him with the very sin that he had refused to commit. This abominabe misrepresentation, to the master who had trusted him so i'm plicitly was the darkest cloud that ever hung over Joseph.
 Liqht from the Cioud.-It is most striking to see how Joseph, out of pity for his master, refrained from ac- cusAg the wicked woman. More men could be found who could thus have spoken to Potiphar's wife than who could have kept silent when ac- cused by Potiphar. For his purity you will find his equal one among thou sand for his mercy, scarcely one."- Expositor's Bible.
 The Dark Cloud of Imprisonment.--- V. 20 And Josephs master put him into prison That he did not at once order him to a capital pun ishment could only be because he had not the power of putting slaves to death. h."-Blaikie. Or, perhaps Poti- phar did not really believe his wife's accusations. But. at any rate, Jo- seph's lot was terrible. Psa. 105 IS speaks of the fetters and chains, en. tsring into his flesh. In Gen. 40: IS Joseph speaks of the prison, literally. as a hole"

A1:S magicians and wise men. to in- terpret dreams. and to such the butler and the baker could have no access from their prison. ."-Ellicott Do not interpretations belong to God?" A glimpse of Josephs real humility. Loyalty to Jehovah in that heather land, he made essentially the same re hxt t@ L. terpret his dream two years later. (Gen. 41:16).
 Note that "Joseph's willingness to interpret the dreams of his fellow prisoners proves that he still believed in his own, that among his other qual- ities he had this characteristic also of a steadfast. and profound soul. that he

Black Teeth and Fidelity.

The Japs are fine race" said the sailor, but there's enc thing about en all blacken their teeth with a paste made out of sweet oil and soot.
 When young married woman gives you a smile, instead of being ravished with a glimpse as of snow on roses-pearly teeth gleaming be- tween red lips-you look into black hole. You frown. You turn away in disgust.
 The idea is that the married wom- ems black teeth, making them unat- tractive, keeps them faithful to their husbands. Doesn't it have the oppo- site effect on the husbands, though ?

reVefenceQ as man the dreams Of his youth. '"-Dods.
 The ingratitude of the butler, mex cusable as it was, left Joseph in the prison until the moment came when he would be needed for work of stu pendous importance. While Gods pur- poses were slowly ripening in the world outside, Joseph's character also was ripening into strength and self discipline within the dungeon walls" -J. R. Miller. If the cupbearer had reported .Joseph's case to the king earlier. it docs not seem that Phar. aoh would have done more for him than transfer him to some other de- partment in which he would have been still slave."-W. NJ. Taylor.
 President Ob What?

Coming with the great victory Of

Yale men and an evidence Of the eff

1t was an easy race for the blue to
win, while the freshman race was
hard one for Yale to lose and CORE
spondingly a triumph for the Cam

worth the seeing.
Both races were up stream on the

Preparations for the local cele-
bration of the Fourth of July are
progressing nicely, and present
indications are that this years event
will surpass any previous celebration
in the history of the city.
The members of the various COM
mittees are bending every effort to
perfect the arrangements, with the
result that everything is being nicely
shaped for the nations natal day.
The parade promises to be a good
one, with many comical features, to-
lgether with a grand float of children
representing the various states,
which is being prepared under the
direction of Mrs. Gamble.
The various games and contests
will have many entries, and there is
every indication that there will be a
large crowd here from outside points,
especially as there is no celebration
planned for the north-country towns.

a feature of the afternoons program.

nearby town.
