either as rapidly or as continuously as a

Then. too. every little group of blind
workers must have at least one pair OF
eyes" to do the things for them that as
yet are beyond their ability. Thus the
prntshop. which is in charge of Curtis
c. DeNeane, secretary of the institute
and the only one of its officials who is
not blind, can turn out all of the job
work sent to 1t and do 1t thoroughly and
quickly. yet there are some parts of the
work that must have the supervision of
sighted person. These people have be-
come proficient that they do every
step of the mechanical work turned cut
by the printing department except the
typesetting. and Mr.. DeNeane thinks 1T
will be only a short time until they have
mastered and added this to their stock
of trade accomplishments.
In other words they now print. fold,
cut stitch. seal and stamp and even ad-
dress all printed matter which goes out
of the shop and some of Ii is done in two
colors and some in four. Five men are
employed steadily and eight or ten can
work rapidly under the supervision of
one sighted person in all OF the different
kinds of work which Is done here. In
every line it is as in the print shop, where
some one must watch that the supply or
ink is not exhausted and that the dies
are renewed when they are needed, and
all proof carefully read.
Some idea of the possibilities OF
achievement of blind people may be
cleaned from the fact that Mr. DeNeane
taught the successful operation of Mer-
genthaler linotype machine to Miss Cath

means of keyboard.
The institute preserves a copy of the

Joseph Interprets Dreams.

~HE selling of Joseph into Egypt

the past week. We find him

cities Of Egypt. probably Zoan. Tire
shadow of the great trial has passed
between this lesson and the last
Something Of the Iurid light of de-
praved court is flashed upon us in
that tragic scene in which the very
fiber of a young mans character is
tested 10 the uttermost.
Joseph had become the slave of Poti-
phar. a high officer at the court of
Pharaoh While in his service he became
the victim of a great temptation on the
mart of Potiphars wife. 1t is the old
story OF prof1igate riches resulting in lust
and then the awful vengeance of wicked
and rejected woman
Surely the story takes on real lfe-iife
~ every Century-aS We read the snort
mt vivid record of his great remuneration.
This story lives again in the recent
works az religious and moral fiction. as
..Robert Elsmere" John Ward. Preacher;
The Redemption of David Carson. The
Hamnation Of Theron Ware and later
The. Inside of the Cup
The plot of all these stories has its
setting in the oft-repeated struggle be-
tween the lure of wealth and fashion and
lusi and the early stages of the religious
character of young men. In one OF the
most conspicuous criminal trials of New
York city the suggestion was boldly made
that there is no certain protection against
such fall.
we may confidently affirm, however,
hat from the time of Joseph to the pres
mt there have been master spirits who
have met the strongest combinations OF
the tempter, and who have chosen the
discomforts of poverty and the suffering
~ the prison rather than yield to the
dethronement of manhood. All men are
not bad. nor do all men believe that il
ia smart TO be wicked.
There is but one standard of morals in
the Word OF God. The modern cry for
the single standard Is only the outcome
Of the superficial ideals of social life-
In our lesson OF this week we meet this
brave. unsoiled young man so lately sold
bv his brothers, but unbought In his pure

care for the true man? And as an answer

Interpretation? The Bible is in large
measure a book of dreams.
Every great figure on the sacred page
was a dreamer. These men who have
acted out the marvellous story of a di-
vinely inspired people and have given us
the written record of the dealings of God
with men did not hold themselves to any
passing canon of philOsophic interpreta-
ton of the facts of life.
The greatest facts of life that We have
known have not come to us as the result
of scientific investigation. AS we say,
men of vision are the true interpreters
of the real signs of the times. AS to the
buffers and the bakers dreams they may
have been the reflex of some suggestion
or hope OF the near future Most dreams
are doubtless the reproduction in the con-
sciousness of thoughts or feelings that
have winged their way through some
recess of the mind, but have not tarried
to tell their message In abiding form.
So it may have been with these dream
ers. But the matter of moment here is
the Interpretation. The dreams of the
butler and baker are much alike-each
dream within the sphere OF his station III
life In the art world 1t is almost all d
question of lights and shadows. He who
can catch up the light and shadow of the
landscape is the living artist. There is
little difference in matter of form be-
tween the work of the kodaks and the
work of the artist.
But truth lies deeper tndn 10TH, OF
even than color. The true artist sees in
it living spirit. So the spiritual eye which
has not been blurred by the habits of vice
may see in the ordinary events of life
the deeper significance. The man of
vision has the seeing eye for his age.
Inability TO understand the ways of God
NAV be not on account of darkness, but
because of excess of light.
Joseph's Interpretation of the dreams did
not change the ordinary course OF events
He was a forthteller rather ehan a fore
teller. Joseph says that the interpreted
tions belong to God.
Here is the matter of chief Importance
The significance of the dream from a
scientific point of view has TO do with
psychological and physical laws. but
there is another side to every thought
process, whether in the conscious or the
subconscious state. and the Interpretation
of that side belongs to God.
II is not strange that there should DC
moments and states of mind which are
more receptive of divine impressions thar
others. and that God should Use these
moments and states In and by which &c
impart unto us the higher truth.
The supreme mometn In any lie Is tht
moment when God speaks, and the high
est reach of thought Is that which inter
prets Gods message to men. IL was nc

Northern Baptists to Bring /:
Matter Up at Detroit This
Month.

~ DVANCES will be made from both
VI societies to bring about, at the
~ meeting of the Northern Baptist
convention at Detroit this month, a con-
solidation OF the two womens foreign
missionary societies of Baptists Forty
years ago there We're formed two such
societies bearing the same name, save
one of these had the words ''of the west"
added. The headquarters of one has al
ways been in Boston and Of the western
in Chicago. Both have co-operated with
the Baptist Missionary Union, now call
ed the Baptist foreign board of the con-
yention, and both have maintained mis-
sionaries in foreign fields. chiefly in Bur-
ma, India China and Japan.
The creation OF one society, II done. will
not lessen efficiency, 1t is claimed, but
will save expenses, and will result in an
organization that will put into foreign
mission work about $4,000 q year, GER
tainly as much as 100000. The con-
solidation comes about as part of the
new unity policy of churches, In which
policy Baptists have led. and which with
them combines at this time all mission
airy and most other general denomina-
tional work.

suits in the final outcome of the case of

TO the favor of the king. the other was
pitched high must interpret both the good
and evil.
No prophet has ever been chosen just
to forthtell the good of an age. Life and
death are mingled in the message of the
seer. In this is seen the true value of the
Interpreter The professional optimist,
with the oily tongue. whose message Is
only that everything Will turn out all
right anyway, is false leader OF the
thought Of the age. 1t is true that mo
question is ever settled until it is settled
right but the right often means the
hanging of the baker as we'll as the res
toration of the butler. Judgment Is as
much divine process as pardon. In the
divine order righteousness and peace
have kissed each other"
The final test of Joseph's character Is
brought out In our lesson In the forget
fulness of the restored baker of his bene-
factor. This is an ascending scale OF
temptations to young man. First the
open treachery of his brothers, who were
his natural protectors. Next the ener-
waiting influence of the debauched court
to one just out of bondage-the tempta-
ton of the recent rich. Then the supreme
test of passion with its invitation to the
place in the favor of the woman in the
highest social rank.
Now 1t is two years of waiting in prison
under the sting of neglect and unreQuited
obligation on the part Of the liberated
butler. The sense of ingratitude on the
part of the selfish world has driven many
noble spirits to despair. Who can stand
this final test of character? To brood in
prison for two years in the consciousness
Of personal innocence. with the ever-re-
curing sense of the injustice of the pun
ishment. and the pang Of the neglect of
him who had received his favor was the
complete ENHANCEMENT of these opening
scenes in the tragedy of Joseph's life. To
be forgotten is the deepest sorrow of the
breaking heart. This is the impulse to
suicide.
So far as this world is concerned the only
cure for the hell of utter neglect is in
self-forgetfulness. Earthly hope has no
| haven for the spirit crushed by the sense
of unrequted service and friendship. 1t
is at this supreme point of testing that
the soul finds its refuge in the change
less love OF God. God never forgets.
Weeping may endure for a night but
joy cometh in the morning. 1t is but a
step from such prison cell to the high
est place by the throne. 1t is as certain
as the day following the night that the
next scene in this drama of life will be
