There is no story in the old testament
more beautiful and uplifting than the
story of Joseph and his brethren The
base Of all that abundant kindliness that
he displayed toward those who injured
him so deeply found its root in his
Christian faith and brotherhood with God
and association with all TINT was Cody,
Just Az it. always had aud always will. be-
cause God is love and kindness personiicd
in man
"Go find your brother in the world
and see that these be many for n man s.
strength is multiplied by the number of
his brothers. Most students and in fact
all well-rcad people. are thoroughly ac-
quainted with the story of the young
knight, his vain search but finally his
glowing success in finding the Cup or
Holy Grail, because he answered caIi of
humanity by giving his small and only
mite to tho one in sore distress. This net
of kindness not only gaddencd his soul
but purchase i for him the goal which he
had placed before him aud which he had
failed To obtain through gallantrv and
hriliancy
Then too, in the story of Joseph We re
call 10 our vision, the scene Of happy ne
union and the feeling Of condemnation and
regret that grips the brothers, but how
speedily the picture changes as we see n
visual personality, u grcat monarch and
leader, as he speaks IN forgiving and com
forting tones to his brothers So now, It
was not YOU that cent me hthcr, but God,
and lie hath made me n Father 10 pharoah
and lord Of his house, and ruler through

either of the above mentioned md not be
possessed with the kcenest desire 70 pllr

In closing. | Waut to recall to your
minds the necessity If acting out at once,
To its fullest extent the kindly thought that
presents itself to you II Sir Launfal had
not, on that Christmas I've. given the
bcggar his Last crust, the day following
would have been too late Also, If Joseph
had not given his brethren provisions,
homes and lands at tire very time he did,
later would have been useless, because tho
famine followed and swallowed all Canaan
and the people of that land furnished and
died Joseph and his brothers lived and
fourlshcd Therefore. let IFS rs individn-
ais, practice kindliness IN the right wav, at
the right time because II alone brings
ultimate reward and joy.
