For variety his fancy ex pressed itself prodigally-iu forages into paper bags of lunches thAt bore the trade-mark of mother and home. And he alisolutely scorned clean fingernails. They were “sissy." The men to whom he was appor tioned were addicted to fatherly warn ings as to what happens to office boys who do not study to become editors—but the boy scorned editors. His ambi tion— lifs one great ambition—had been to climb a ladder and chalk oil' base ball scores, until the electric boards came along, and aft.-t that he settled on n future of sightseeing ears so that lie colild talk through a megaphone.

ADDITIONAL N^T.ly^Al Reties is 37: I. Joseph the Wefl-Reloved Son (37 rl-4). Joseph was Jacob’s favorite son. 'This was due partly to the fact that he was the son of the wife of his first love and the son of" hbs old age, but inainly because of the superior qual ities .which Joseph possessed. This favoritism expressed itself in a su perior position unit more respectable clothes. That Jacob should feel pur- ■ tial toward Joseph, perhaps, was un avoidable, but that 1m should manifest it was extremely unwise. Serious trouble will always result from jAir- liality Jbeing shown toward children. His brethren’s ihtetfse hatred burat forth -upon him. This Reeling was in tensified by his pure life and by his testimony among W:ein because of their evil -dt-cils. Joslah is a type of Christ. He was living in fellowship with l.is father at Hebron (37:14); Christ was with the Father he- idrf* coming Into the world (John 1C.:JS) : Joseph was the beloved son (<iluois 37:3); Christ was the be- lo\ed Son of God (Matthew 3:17); Jo seph was hated by his brethren (Gene sis 37:4); Christ \v;>s hated by his brethren (John 13:34); Joseph wap o rivled by his brethren (Genesis 37 :11 > ; Christ was delivered up through envy (Mark 1" :i0).

I'aul was a !>nor man, and yet he had learned the secret of making many rich, even in his poverty. So can you learn,the same secret if you will. Rvrad over that verse again In II Cor. 9:8, w hich s »ys, “God is able'to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, al- thays having nil sufficiency in all things, may abound uuto every good fci.rk." SUeh was this gmrr Hmt tmt of their deep poverty they raised a contribution so Iargi».*ns to be noted through all the region round about. When, then, God cabs upon us to ex- ercise the of liberality, let its not excuse ourselves because we have nAt Uie means, liut remembering his prom-. i*<e, ask him to supply the means, tjhat we" may “abound in this grace also."
