JOSEPHS FIDELITY.
Genesis, xXXiv. l23.
Golden Text: Seest thou
man diligent in his business?
lie shall stand before kings
Proverbs, Xxii.29.

Joseph was a man OF providence.
Many of us have failed to grasp the
secret of his success in the thrilling
narrative of his life that has been fa-
miliar to us from our infancy. We
fail to see the hidden forces, which
have been at work in all history,
through our familiarity with the ex-
ternal events. While 1t may have
been natural for Jacob to be partial
to the son of his beloved Rachel, be-
cause he was free from the vices of
the sons of his other wives. yet his
partiality for Joseph started a family
feud against him. Joseph helped to
foment the envy, anger and animosity
by telling them the dreams he had of
his coming dominion over them,
which helped to incense them to that
extent that they sold him for 90 pieces
Of silver TO slave dealers, who carried
him to Egypt.
1t was a step downward from being
the favOrite son of Jacob to become
the common slave of an Egyptian Off
cial. The spirit of Joseph was not
broken by the CALLING and crushing
change of circumstances. 1t made
him feel his dependence upon Jeho-
yah. He recognized in the hard school
of suffering. sorrow and slavery the
guidance of God. He quickly lost his
foolish selfconceit. He developed
qualities of strength, endurance.
pluck, courage and faith in the trials
of his slavery which would have per-
ished under his fathers caresses and
self-indulgence. Discipline drew out
all of the best qualities of his life. He
tackled all the tasks with a willing
heart and earnest spirit. so that he
attracted the attention of his master.
POtiphar an officer of the Egyptia n
guard, who made him overseer in his
own home, because he had observed
that Jehovah was with him.
Conquering Temptation.
Joseph made 1t his practice to al
ways seek first the welfare and in
terest of Potiphar. He succeeded to
that extent that his master trusted
everything to him. For a period of
five years. the blessings Of Jehovah
resting upon the efforts of Joseph
caused everything in connection with
the affairs of Potiphar to prosper. At
this time a dark shadow Of tempta-

Perhaps Rev. Mr.. Keen's two crooked
fingers, the result of his base ball days
at Western Maryland College, had
something to do with 1t. Perhaps the
prospective diamond stars figured the
father of a great pitcher like Vic
Keen Of the st. Louis Cardinals
couldn't be the regulation type
preacher. They found he wasn't.
IF a fellow does you dirty trick
don't do him a dirty trick in return"
he told the boys. "If you do you are
just as bad as he is.'
The result of this was that when a
player purposely hit Robert Sapp, one
of the ball tossers, in the jaw when
he was coming into the homeplate, he
literally turned the other cheek. That
broke up rowdyism on the athletic
field.
"The only thing you have to watch
Is to see that sports do not run away

high ones" are the stars which con-
troll the affairs Of men.
There were no astronomers in the
prophets day; astrology was the only
science which he knew. The astrol-
oyer saw universe peopled and con-
trolled by mysterious and sovereign
spirits which warred with each other,
waging their battles in the broad bat
tlefield Of the heavens. ''The host of
the high ones"-the stars. each with
it's own name, each with its pet griev-
ances and likings, each with its espe-
cial favorites among the kings and the
peoples Of the earth, each playing its
favorites against the favorites Of the
other stars.
Superstition? OF course. The world
has been muddling through super
stition for centuries:
It has still long way to go before
It extricates itself from the welter of
primitive astrology and witchcraft.
Superstition clings to religion with the
tenacity Of leach.
The tragic fact Is that there are so
many people who refuse to admit It,,
who refuse to clear religion of this
muddy vesture Of decay.
But the prophet foresees the day
be punished. That day came in a way
which he certainly did not expect.
Emancipation came at the hand of the
reverent and painstaking scientist who
measured the stars through his tele-
scope, analyzed them by his spectrum,
weighed them in his balance. The as
tronomer fulfilS scripture, and sets
free the mind Of man.
Do not be too hard on the prophet
for his credulity. He lived over $500
years ago. He had no text books on
astronomy. A large part of the world
still persists in holding to a world con-
trolled by magic and the stars. If it
were not so, an army of palmists and
fortune tellers and astrologists would

Religion grows up like everything
else. Science goes through the same
process. The nearer they come to ma
turity, the closer are they together.

ers were bound. Court officials were
placed in "the miserable hole Jo-
seph found men there who had held
prominent places, like the chief butler
and chief baker, and who, like HIM
self, had been imprisoned because
they had fallen under suspicion.
Prisoners open up their hearts to one
another. Joseph made friends of his
fellows, who shared with him the
Large, gloomy hall, with no windows,
paved with flags, black with filth. no
light or air save what may struggle
through the narrow grated aperture,
by which the friends of the wretched
inmates or some pitying strangers
pass in the food and water, which
are the sole staff of life; no arrange
ments being made for cleanliness or
for the separation of the prisoners. ="
There was no limit placed upon Jo-
seph In his confinement except the
fetters. which hurt him and inter
fer1'ed With his movements. and he
had liberty Of intercourse and fellow
ship with all the other prisoners.
His success here, as in the palace.
was due to the presence Of God, who
filled his servants soul with iron, so
that he endured his trials. Sin is
the only thing that can sever our re-
dark hole" with revelations of His
mercy. He gave Joseph influence
over the prisoners and favor with the
keeper of the prison. who placed him
in position of power, making him
his first assistant In the management
of the prison and the prisoners. In
ministry to others Joseph soon for
got his own SORROWS. He encouraged
some Of the prisoners by interpreting
their dreams. His only reward was
request, Remember me when 1t
shall be well with thee 1t was a
modest and pathetic prayer that he
made to the great officer of state. to
whose dream he had given a favor
able Interpretation. The great man
assured him of favorable considera-
ton, but strangely forgot it, until. as
we will see in our study next week
the dream Of Pharaoh recalled to him
his fellow prisoner. Joseph, and his
power to interpret dreams.
Little did Joseph ever dream when
Potipher placed him within the prison
walls that it was the road to power.
His faithfulness to his master. and to
his Lord, had brought him into
prison where the presence of God sus-
tanned him and helped him to aid
others. The spiritual insight that Je.
hovah impaired to Joseph sustained
and strengthened him in his trouble,
teaching him and us. that if we are
faithful to Him and witness for Him
in every place, that we will never
drift beyond His care and love.
Loyalty to his religious convictions
gave Joseph triumph when he was
sold into slavery. when he served
Potiphar and was committed to the
