upon their kingdom Those Hebrews
who were the descendants Of Joseph
and his brethren were like small
tribe of Indians called the Aztecs,
which settled in Mexico They multi
piled rapidly in numbers until they
overran and captured the whole land of
what is now called modern Mexico So
was it with the children of Israel in
Egypt. They were multiplying so fast
that they threatened to overturn the
throne of the pharaohs.
"Joseph? Who was Joseph? / hear
some of the Egyptians ask. "Oh,
know" some one answers. HE Is that
Hebrew who was captured by band
of rowing Ishmaeites and brought into
this country and sold as slave about
200 years ago, under one of the shep-
herd kings called Aphobis Then the
story goes that he interpreted some
crazy dream of the king and was ap-
pointed prime minister. Then he sent
to his old home in Canaan and brought
down all his brothers and their wives
and children. And their descendants
multiplied until they have become as
numerous as the Hebrews we have
with us today" "What! Did all those
Hebrews come from Joseph's family"
Eyes, all, all" Then I hear the Egyp-
tians mutter: Course him! Curse him!
Curse himw Then the Egyptians for
got all about the days of famine. They
forgot how Joseph had saved their an
cestors from starvation. They only
remembered the fact that the multi
tudes of threatening slaves at their
feet were the descendants Of this an
cient prime minister and his relations
Alas, my friend, is it not fact that
the evil we 90 viii live longer in mems
minds than the good we do? And the
sad fact is, though we may have spent
a whole lifetime in good works, yet if
we do one wrong that one wrong viii
be cLi5eled by man in the solid rock of
memory, while the good we do will be
forgotten in q day.
