You can sympathize with working

the life OF Joseph be realized in re-
lation to the whole.
Seen in this complete form, the
story of Joseph is a remarkable tale
OF strength, courage and constancy.
Joseph appears at first, it is true,
as a dreamer. the favored child OF
his father. a sort Of family pet who
offends his brothers by a too.ready
acceptance of this favoritism and by
an attitude Of superiority.
Probably much Of this was the
thoughtless attitude Of a young
boy.

the stability OF hk character come

merely a petted child or milksop,
the experiences that came upon him
would very quickly have broken him

a young man Of courage who, in the
