CBY WILLIAM T. ELLIs.)

An the Bible is not alike. Different
books in the canon serve different uses.
, The most practical counsel in the
whole collection is found in the Book
of Proverbs. Whitelaw Reid once said
that this was the best volumne of
business advice that a young man set
ting out in the world could read. 1t has
| less to do with the heavenlies than
| with this present life. The proverbs are
| the crystallized wisdom of observers of
| mankind. They know the world. They
| warn the reader of the way to failure
, and they give good counsel for the sort
| of conduct that wins. This is the best
| collection of maxims on success ever
written. The mind that is thoroughly
saturated with the Book of Proverbs
has mastered an education in sagacity.
Like all great treatises on life, the
Book of Proverbs postulates God. Char
acter and conduct are, at base matters
of relationship wirll the Highest. ANY
wisdom which stops short of heaven is
not adequate for the earth.
Wisdom's ways are set forth fully
and in detail by the proverb-ma kers.
These terse truths are as direct and
sure asthe counsel of the policeman to
a stranger bewildered in the city
streets
The fool appears often in these
trenchant utterances of the proverb-
makers-about as often as he does in
life The wise men blink no facts.
Their day is not limited to the rosy
sunrise of optimism. They accept the ex
istence of folly as of wisdom, of evil
a of good. Through this labyrinth of
realities they chart path for seeking
feet to follow.
Since it is better to let the Bible
speak for itself than to speak about
passages from the Book of Proverbs,
instead of merely commenting upon
them:
The fear of Jehovah is the beginning
of knowledge;
But the foolish despise wisdom and
instruction
My son. if sinners entice thee
Consent thou not"
My son. if thou wilt receive my words.
And lay up my commandments with
thee;
So as to incline thine ear unto wisdom
And apply thy heart to understanding;
If thou seek her as silver.
And search for her as for hid treas
ureS:
Then shalt thou understand the fear
of Jehovah.
And find the knowledge of God
Trust in Jehovah with all thy heart.
And lean not upon thine own under
standing:
In all thy ways acknowledge him,
And he will direct thy paths"
For whom Jehovah loveth he re-
proveth;
Even as a father the son in whom he
delighteth-'
Wisdom is the principal thing; there
fore get wisdom;
Yea. with all thy getting get under
standing"
But the path of the righteous is as
the dawning light,
That shineth more and more unto the
perfect day
Go to the ant thou sluggard;
Consider her ways. and be wise:
Which having no chief,
Overseer. or ruler,
Provideth her bread in the summer.
And gathereth her food in the harvest
yet little sleep. a little slumber.

are more mortified by the spec
tacie of an old father eating
with his knife than by a
such need to learn well this story of
| the man who had gone as high as it
/ was possible for mortal to go, and yet
Joyously and proudly presented his
family. with all their crude ways, to
the king and the people.
BY some strange process of rea SON
ing, the word countryman' is often
, used as synonymous with boorishness
and crudity. In the case of Joseph's
family. there was reason for this, for
in Egypt the shepherds calling was
despised. Joseph knew we'll that the
courtiers would sneer behind his back
at his common origin. His rivals
would be strengthened in opposition to
him. The whole land would be filed
with gossip over these countrified
Canaanltes who were the family of the
prime minister. Yet with enthusiasm
and pride Joseph introduced his broth
ers and his father to Pharaoh him.
self.
The New Home.
Clearer than the hieroglyphics which
still may be seen on the tombs of the
kings at Thebes. is this graphic pic
ture of the meeting of Jacob and
Pharaoh. One had the dignity of state
the other the dignity of years. A flood

who gave his blessing to the king on
the throne.
We should like to know more about
this Pharaoh than his mummy can re-

peoples prejudice against shepherds. |
and he never lost sight of his debt
to Joseph He suggested of his own in
itiative ways for the rewarding of
Joseph's brothers He promised home |
in the best part of Egypt, the fat land of !
Goshen down in the delta for the fam
lily of Joseph. There they could have
a future commensurate with Egypt's |
debt to their line.
For seventeen honored years Jacob |
lived in aff1uence and peace in the |
shadow of his great son. but when the |
end came his heart yearned for home. |
He wanted to go back to Canaan, and
to die in the comfort Of the assurance |
that his bones would lie with those of
his fathers. How many successful men
in the city are dreaming at this very |
hour of the old joys in the boyhood |
home? 1t is good to realize with Jacob
that we are the pilgrims and sojourners
and that We are looking for a habita-
ton, even heavenly one.
