The message OF Joseph's Wagons" was
she subject of the sermon preached by the
Rev. John M. Hunt, in Wilkins hall, on
last Sunday morning. The text reads,
And they told him all the words Of
Joseph, which he had said unto them; and
when he saw the wagons which Joseph had
sent TO carry him, the spirit of Jacob their
father revived And Israel said, Ii is
enough; Joseph my son is yet alive; will
60 and see him before / die.n The first

Egypt there is one who knows him person

ypt there is one who is planning for his
comfort. Third: The wagons tell Jacob
