NEXT TO THE THRONE _ PRACTICAL LESSONS IN THE LIFE OF JOSEPH. T* Ji At Rev. Dr. Talmajre Relates In His Usual Yisid Way How He Rose From ObsourCI ity to a High Place?Elevation the Result of Persecution. & at H? ifiTivfTAv Anw'l 19 Tlio cprmnn r*i TT AOIUilUl AA am. AAW a? of Rev. Dr. Talmage today is full of pi stirring and practical lessons for alL ai Washington has many men who, like the hero of the texts, started from almost nothing and rose to high place. J i The texts chosen were: Genesis xxxvii, ai 28, "They drew and lifted up Joseph uj out of the pit and sold Joseph to the ? Ishmaelite8 for 20 pieces of silver." fr Genesis xlv, 26, "He is governor over jr all the land of Egypt." . ft You cannot keep a good man down. fc God has decreed for him a certain point g( of elevation. He will bring him to that OJ though it cost him a thousand worlds. ^ You sometimes find men fearful they 0j will not be properly appreciated. Every cj man comes to be valued at just what he 0j is worth. You cannot write him up, and tl you cannot write him down. These facts ^ are powerfully illustrated in my subject. { t? I> vpvmlrl >vo nn incnH. tn KTirvnosft that ' you were not all familiar with the life ga of Joseph?how his jealous brothers threw him into a pit, but seeing a eara- m van of Arabian merchants trudging E] along on their camels, with spices and w gums that loaded the air with aroma, al sold their brother to these merchants, who carried him down into Egypt; ta Joseph there sold to Potiphar, a man of a influence and office; how by Joseph's C1 integrity he raised himself to high posi- n tion in the realm until, under the false r charge of a vile wretch, lie was hurled /VV into the penitentiary; how in prison he 0f commanded respect and confidence; w how by the interpretation of Pharaoh's "] dream he was freed and became the to chief man in the realm, the Bismarck of to his century; how in the time of famine pr Jnsenh bad the control of a magnificent ti, storehouse, which he had filled during j seven years cf plenty; how when h4s bi brothers, who had thrown him into the l( pit and sold him into captivity, applied jf for corn lie sent them home with the beasts of burden borne down under the heft of the corn sacks; how the sin jc against their brother which had so long e} been hidden came out at last and was go returned by that brother's forgiveness ij( and kindness, the only revenge he took. m Christian Character. a You see, in the first place, that the pr world is compelled to honor Christian ^ character. Potiphar was culy a man of th the world, yet Joseph rose in his estimation until all tho affairs of that pr great house were committed to his sp charge. From his servant no honor or p3 confidence was withheld. When Joseph gj( was in prison, he soon won the heart of the keeper, and though placed there for m being a scoundrel, he soon convincedva the jailer that he was an innocent and ^ trustworthy man, and released from k? close confinement he became general su- jjj perintendeni of prison affairs. Wherever w Joseph was placed, whether a servant ^ in the house of Potiphar, or a prisoner ? . l?/\ VvArtnwA fiwif (i ID IHt/ I Ul/ UCVttiixV/ luv i?ov qj man everywhere, and is an illustration gC of the truth I lay down, that the world ar is compelled to honor Christian charac- f0 ter. There are those who affect to deSpise a religious life. They speak of it ^ as a system of phlebotomy by which the js man is bled of all his courage and no- ^ bility. They say he has bemeaued him- ^ self. They pretend to have no more confidence in him since his conversion g( than before his conversion. But all this is hypocrisy. There is a great deal of w hypocrisy in the church, and there is a pr great deal of hypocrisy outside the church. It is impossible fcr any man ^ not to admire and confide in a man er who shows that ho has really become a ]1( child of God and is what he professes ar to be.

A man tid to me in the cars: "What is region? Judging from the character of any professors of religion I do not adire religion." I said: "Now, suppose ewent to an artist in the city of Rome id while in his gallery asked him, Vhat is the art cf painting?' Would he ke us out in a low alley and show us mere daub of a preteAder at paintings, would he take us down into the cordons and show us the Rubens, and the apliacls, and the Michael Angelos? hen we asked him, 4 What is the art ' painting?' he would point to the orks of these great masters and say, .'hat is painting.' Now, you propose find the mere caricature of religion, ? seek after that which is the mere etension of a holy life, and you call at religion. I point you to the splend men and women whom-this gospel is blessed and lifted and crowned. x>k at the masterpieces of divine grace you want to know what religion is." Resale of Persecution. We learn also from this story of sepli that the result of persecution is evation. Had it not been for his being Id into Egyptian bondage by his manous brothers and his false imprisonent Joseph never would have become governor. Everybody accepts the omise, 4 'Blessed are iliey that are pereuted for righteousness sake, for eirs is the kingdom of heaven," but ey do not realize the fact that this inciplc applies to worldly as well as iritual success. It is true in all deLrtments. Men rise to high official potions through misrepresentation. Pub; abuse is all that some cf our public en have had to rely upon for their eleition. It has brought to them what lent and executive force could not eve achieved. Many of these who are aking great effort for place and power ill never succeed just because they e not of enough importance to be used. It is the nature of men?that is ?

I go into another department, id I find that these great denoniinaons of Christians which have been ost abused have spread the most ipidly. No good man was ever more violently j altreated than John Wesley?belied | id caricatured and slandered until one ly he stood in a pulpit in London, and man arose in the audience and said, I You were drunk last night," and John j Lesley said: "Thank God, the whole italogue is now complete.

It as persecution that gave Scotland to resbytoriahism. It was persecution mt gave our land first to civil liberty id afterward to religious freedom, ea, I might go farther back and say it as persecution that gave the world the reat salvation of the gospel. The ribald lockery, the hungering and thirsting, ic unjust charge, the ignominious eatli, when all the force of hell's fury as hurled against the cross, was the Production of that religion which is it to be the earth's deliverance and our :ernal salvation. The state sometimes lid to the church, "Come, take my and, and I will help you." What was ic result? The church went back, and : lost its estate of holiness, and it bciiine ineffective. At other times the fate said to the church, 4 Twill crush ou." What has been the result? After [?e storms have spent their fury the Irarcli, so far from having lost any cf is force, has increased and is worth innitely more after the assault than beore. Read all history and yen will find hat true. The church is far more inebted to the opposition cf civil governin nt than to its approval. The fires cf the take have only been the torches which hrist held in his hand, by the light of riiich the church has marched to her >resent glorious position. In the sound f racks and implements cf torture I lear the rumbling of the gospel chariot, ihe scaffolds cf martyrdom havo been he stairs by which the church mounted. A Thousand Toncues. Learn also from our subject that sin vill come to exposure. Long, long ago kuI these brothers sold Joseph into Jgypt. They had made the old father x-Vleve that his favorite child was de;uL rbey had suppressed the crime, and it ? ??'1 lror\f V\V iVas u pruiuLLuu. dwi CI U Vii yv l/j IUV brothers. But suddenly the secret is out. The old father hears that his son is in igypt, having been sold there by the nalice of his own brothers. How their "heeks must have burned and their hearts >unk at the flaming out of this long suppressed crime. The smallest iniquity a&s_ a thousand tongues, and they pyill blab out exposure. Saul was sent to de- j stroy the Canaauites, their sheep and * their oxen, but whc 11 he got down there cc among the pastures lie saw some fine ! hi sheep and oxt n too fat to kill, so be thought he would steal them. Nobody 1 S? would know it. He drove these stolen fc sheep and oxen toward home, but stop- tl ped to report to the prophet how lie had w executed his mission, when in the dis- ai tance the sheep began to bleat and the ; C( oxen to bellow. The secret was out, and | Samuel said to the blushing and eon- I x j c? 1 i y< j iu.v.71 Oiiui, vt uat im aiiuui uu uivuviun i i of the sheep that I hoar and the bellow- j ing of the cattle?"

B Provision Tor the Fatnre. cc We also leam from this story the pro iety of laying up for the future. Dur- a ig the seven years of plenty Joseph y( cparod for the famine, and when it ai une he had a crowded storehouse. The q, fe of most men in a worldly respect is a vided into years of plenty and famine. I to is seldom that any man passes J jB irongh life without at least seven years ! fr ! plenty. During those seven years | fp >ur business bears a rich harvest- You arcely-know where all the money lines from, it comc3 so fast. Every p; irgain you make seems to turn into ]y )lcL Y'ou contract few bad debts. You as e astonished with large dividends. cu invest more and more capital. You th onder how men can be content with oc small business, gathering in only a sv w hundred dollars while you reap th rnr thousands. Those are the seven ] ] :ars of plenty. Now Joseph has time pT prepare for the threatened famine, for i almost every man there do come sev- tb t years of famine. Y'ou will be 6ick, >u will be unfortunate, you will be branded, there will be hard times, A >u will be disappointed, and if you b( ivc no storehouse upon which to fall vr tck you may be famine struck. We fr ivc 110 admiration for this denying th leself all personal comfort and lux- fo -v for the mere nleasure of hoardintr ! ct 3, this grasping, grasping for the mere ct easnrc of seeing how Large a pile ycu Cu m get, this always being poor because tn ; soon as a dollar comes in it is sent it to see if it can find another dollar, i that it can cany it home on its back, e have a contempt fcr all those things, it there is au intelligent and noble T inded forecast which we love to see y( i men who have families and kindred n< 'pending upon them for the blessings hi education and home. God sends us to a( ic insects fcr a lesson, which, while jp ey do not stint themselves in the escnt, do not forget their duty to fore- , st the future. "Go to the ant, thou ?. uggard. Consider her ways, and be ise, which, having no guide, overseer ruler, provideth her meat in the sum- 01 er and gathereth her food in the bar- M st." ' ' S Now, there are two ways of laying up ci oney. One of these is to put it in stock ^ id deposit it in bank and invest it on Ci >nd and mortgage. The other way to jp y up money is giving it away. He is e safest who makes both of these in stments. There are iij this house men ho if they lose every dollar they have the world would be millionaires for si ernity. They made the spiritual in- 01 stment.

Of course the rose, refusing to n: eathe, died. But above all, lay up p< ensures in heaven. They never depre- pi ate in value. They never are at a dis- H milt. They are always available. You rt ay feel safe now with your $1,000 or is 5,000 or $10,000 or $20,000 income, is it what will such an income be worth h: 'tor you are dead? Others will get it. T primps some of them will quarrel at xmt it before you are buried. They m ill be so impatient to get hold of the m ill they will think you should be rc iricd one day sooner than you are iricd. They will be right glad when )u are dead. They are only waiting for m to die. What then will all your tl irth 1 y accumulations be wort h?

Houses in which several people have ed within a short period are less vallble for a time on that account. "Of rarse, "an agent said, "when deaths ive occurred because of bad sewerage, id where the sanittvry conditions are herwise bad, no one would blame peoe for remaining away. But houses here a couple cf people had died of old {6 would be looked upon by a certain ass as 'unlucky,' and tho.ro are thou,nd3 who could not be bought to go ini such a house. * "The worst peoplo in that respect," ) continued, "are the young mothers, e have had contracts broken because unebody said that 'babies never thrive 1 that block' and because 'the last mily that occupied the flat had twins.' T ut the greatest trouble in that line 5 imes because of Friday and the number * t. When you find a man who will sign ' lease on a Friday, you may make up J >ur mind that he will be a good tenant, 5 id that he does not possess any of the 3 lalities of the dreaded kicking tenant. * s to the number 13, why, it is as hard ! s i rent a house with that number as one 1 i which there is a cross eyed liallboy or 1 ora which a contagious disease flag is ^ ring."
