There Is u mighty contrast between Joseph in the pit at Dothan and Jo seph as prime minister of Egypt. I. Joseph^Made Prime Minister of Egypt (vv. 38-44). 1. The Occasion (vv. 14 :32). It Is the Interpretation of Pharaoh’s dreams. In his dreams Pharaoh saw members of even a small seven fitt kine coming out of the river, - followed by seven lean ones, which de voured the fat ones. This dream was followed by another In which he saw seven ears of- corn comb up on one stalk, rank and good, only to hr de voured by seven thin ones, , These dreams produced uneasiness In Phara oh’s mind. Being thus troubled over .horn he sent for' the,magicians and wise men of Egypt to Interpret them to him. Upon their failure to interpret them, the chief butler calls to mind the prisoner who- had interpreted his dreams D v ° years., before. Pharaoh hastily brings Joseph from prison and places his dreams before him. Joseph disclaimed wisdom for himself, hut confidently asserted his faith in the wisdom of Goth God is pleased with those who will thus lean upon hint In the crucial hour, and will never dV;ap- potW them (James 1 I.lttle did Joseph’s brethren, tin* I-hrnneMte-t who rnt rled Jilm Jrpto,.

There is u he became, realize ould bring to him. Hts A’^rs of suffering ami waiving were part of God’* plan for his discipline and education. It Is God’s law for those who would reign, that they suf fer. “It" .we suffer, wei shall also reign with him” (2 Timothy 2:12). 'Joseph’s exultation from the state of humility Is a fine' Illustration of Christ’s humility and exaltation (Phll- Ipplans 2:0, 10). » \ II. Joseph’s Naturalization (v. 45). As soon as J’haruoh thus exalted blni he changed Ids name to Zapnalh-paa- nenh, an Egyptian word, huving vury- , lng designations; as ‘‘Sulvatlon of the 1 world,’-’ ‘‘The prince of life of the world,” “The revealer of secrets," "The food of life," etc. No doubt U was Pharaoh’s purpose to designate him as tin* preserver of life, the re vealer of secrets, the interpreter of n'eums; and the author of the plan by which Egypt was saved from the awfuT famine. He thus was natucalized. and his civil status rendered ‘"cnTiYpatible with his official rank. Then A semi tit, the daughter of tin* priest, was given him to wife. Intermarriage with this caste completed his naturalization by •levatfng him to social position. Jo seph’s elevation was to save the world from famine. Christ’s -eleva tion was to save the world from spir itual death. All unknown to Ids breth ren, the Jews, Christ is now at the right hand of .the Father, the Savior of the world from its famine of death. « As Joseph received a Gentile bride In the time of his rejection and exalta tl#n, so Christ. Is nbvw receiving a Gen tile bride (Itbman-i 1H:2.'). III. Joseph's Wise Admi (vv. 40-49).

It Is a solemn thought that every one of us carries about with him a mystical ' loom, and we are always weaving—.weave, weave, vyeavi*— this robe which we wear, "every thought a thread of the warp, every action a thread of the weft. \Ye weave it.^aml wv dye it, and we cut it, and '\fce stitch it, Tuid/thcn w;e put it cm qnd wear it; aim it sticks to us. Like a snail thar cruwls about your garden patches and makes its shell try a pro- vwuu Word" of God read to 1 hem. They ask ft.r It and all who could understand gathered to hear.

Peter to respond tp the call. Cornelius hail no claim other that! his eagerness to know the truth. • - ■ , II. Patience in Listening to What God Mas to Say. In verse throe we are told that J zru read to the people from the Book of God from morning until midday,.and the people Wen; attentive to the words of the book. It cannot be un lerstoml In a moment or an hour. If we would master it we must give to its study more than a few odd moments; and ~ pStfcrVc?*Ts"To7pTrrerTTo gain? Ttnte try llttle, ari understanding of the truth which it teacheSr III. Reverence in Our Treatment of the Book. In verses four to six we are told that when Ezra stood up to read ull the people stood and bowed their hertds and worshiped the Lord with faces to the ground. There must be no flippancy )n handling th? Word of God If we would come to a good understanding of its truth. Too often we make the Boolv common by our much handling. We must guard against nil Ill-chosen jokes and riddles which tend to steal” away our reverone** for the Holy . Scriptures. We must approach It with bowed heads r.nd with the'worshipful spirit if we would have- it speak to us. IV. Intelligent Listening. In verses seven npd eight w-e see how their minds were exercised and thought awakhped. They began to ask questions and the men appointed to read spoke the word distinctly, gave the sense and caused the people to un derstand, If we will think as we read and question when we do not under stand the Spirit himself, will cau’>e ua to understand. We should pray that ministers everywhere would read the Word to the peopie distinctly and give the sense of what Is roa'L and hen ndt stop until mid illustration they have _ caused the people to under stand. V. Sorrow Because of Conviction. In verses nine to eleven we see how with their openness of mind they gave* conscience a cbe.nee to do Its work. They became'convicted and'a Godly sorrow sprang up. They felt God hc.d 4 right to condemn them and they were exercised In conscience. We rend the Word o*f God In vain If we do not allow It to point but "our evil' and Its consequences. But whan we do so allow it we come to the next etep. J/l. Faith in Its Promise*. “ In verso twelve wecqffro told; that when the rulers told them of the truth and how they could rejoice because of what "God had done even in spite of dealer sells (you a bottle of Dotson's Liver Tor*..
