SHOWS NECESSITY
FOR IDEALISTS IN
PRESENT DAY LIFE
Rev. Beck Warns Against Be-
coming Too Practical
and Losing Ideals.

can the world become too practi-
cal? Are dreamers a necessity? Can
idealism thrive apart from reli-
gion?" are some OF the questions
dealt with in the Sunday morning
sermon at Grace NJ. +. church by
Rev. 3. d. Bee, the pastor.
I'm Jacobs family Of 2 sons Jo-
seph was "a dreamer. The others

themselves with their fiocks and
grain. caring nothing especially for
anything except the increase and
the price While Joseph watched

wide awake and thinking hard. He
looked off into tomorrow. He saw
the world beyond the sheep. He
thought periodically. socially and
religiously. He saw himself in an
elevated position. but serving the
needy world. His brothers were do
ing him Obeisance, but he was not
selfish. He was serving them. He
was an idealist. When nc came to
power he realized his ideals.
RidicuIcd Ideals.
His practical brothers called him
in ridicule the dreamer He was an
annoyance TO them. They did not
want their matter of-fact life dis
turbed. Consequently they plotted
to kill him and see what would
come Of his dreams. For profits,
their aim in life. they decided 10 sell
him into slavery and gained there
by 90 pieces of silver. He was car
ried into Egypt, sold to Gen. POti-
phar. and later rose to be PharOah S
prime minister. He kept on dream
ing. In seven years OF plenty he
stored up the grain that tided the
great empire over seven years OF
famine. Joseph's brothers and faith
err were saved from perishing there
by They gladly did obeisance 10
him. as he gladly provided for their
need. They came to see what came
OF this dreamer and his dreams.
