stuck to his fingers. Thus, because he
was honest and made his deputies hon
est, the dishonest officials hated him
and tried to forget his existence. And
one of the surest signs that you are
pure and true and honest and upright
and good is that dishonest people and
impure people try to forget your name
and push you into oblivion.
Aristides the Just.
You have all heard the story of the
great general and statesman Aristides
the Just. Tighter and tighter was
he gripping the hearts of the Athenian
people Themistocles, his great rival,
realized that In little while, if Arts
tides was allowed to move among the
people, his influence would become so
great that no voice would have any
power in Athens but his. So Themisto-
cles gathered all the rough and bad
elements together and started move
ment to Danish Aristides from the city
On the day of the election a peasant
approached Aristides and asked his
help In voting against Aristides. "Why,
what damage has he done" Aristides
asked. HAS he done any wrong that
you would drive him from this capt.
tal?" No" answered the peasant,
mot that l know of. l do not even
know him, but it irritates me to hear
him everywhere called the Just" And
so the carrion birds would, if they
could, always drive the clean winged
birds from the heavens. The dishonest
Egyptians would obliterate the name
of Joseph, the prime minister, from the
list Of their national heroes. And, my
brother, If the dissolute do not despise
you and the unjust hate you, and the
evil minded want to forget you, then
you should examine your heart and
life, fearing lest you are growing like
them. The surest sign on earth that
you are living a good, pure life is that
bad people want you out Of their sight.
"Now there arose up n new king over
Egypt which knew not Joseph"
But, lastly 7 remark that the Egvp-
tians ceased to revere Joseph's MEM
DRY because they did not believe that
the God who sent Joseph to save them
was thp same God who sent Moses I'm

tians' error our error? After God for

The scene W8s The Roman coliseum
1t was night All those immense tiers
OF SEATS capable of holding 100000
spectators, We're deserted There you
could see them in dim outline. As you
looked at them you could see in mag

the yelling, vociferant multitudes who
during the long, hot day just passed
had watched the gladiatorial contests
and the numbering of the Christians
But, though those tiers Of seats were
empty the arena was not, That
arena was filed with great piles
of human corpses. There were moth

dead babies to their breasts. There

corpses you could see the hungry lions !
