slavery by his own brothers, thrown
into prison by a scorned womar's
hate, standing faithful to all tasks
committed to him, seizing an OPP
portunity and becoming eventually
the active ruler of the Kingdom of
Egypt.
His story begins in a hole--the
cistern into which his jealous BROTH

heights, next to the throne of
Pharaoh. Dark and devious and
difficult were the experiences Joseph
underwent. as are the present trials
of the World War. Many time
lesser man in his place would have
given up and abandoned himself to
slaves dispair, just as the dire de-
feats suffered by the United Ma

craven spirits to talk of surrender

burns in the hearts of the Allied
people, and so they carry on to the

new stars have arisen to demonstrate
that the Joseph road Is stin open.
There are capacities dormant in the
average person which this emergency
is bringing out to brilliant accom-
plishment. F'ie upon the dull souls
who think that romance exists only
in books.
We do not read the story of
Joseph Alright unless we see in it
record of an overruling Providence.
Joseph himself discerned and
acknowledged that Gods hand had
led him throughout his tragic and
triumphant experiences. That the
Lord ever concerns Himself in the
affairs of all of us is truth to be
grasped firmly in these testing times.
The words of Jesus, Have faith in
God," are the motto for us to live by
today. The Father may chasten His
children-and how sorely we needed
Christening but He will never for
sake them. His way for us may lead
through deep and dark and stormy
valleys, but it ends on the peaks OF
victory.
Surely the call of the hour Is for
a world wide reinforcement of the
prayer front, that Gods sovereignty
may be acknowledged and His mercy
besought. He who lifted Joseph out
of the depths and raised him to a
dazzling eminence of service will not
do less for us, if we are as faithful
and trustful as Joseph was.
