Ancient “Success" Story Has Fertilized Literature Drama Os Joseph's Career The Source Os Many I Mays, Poems, Novels And Sermons —How Guileless Dreamer Became Head Os First National Planning Program.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Hall Caine, the novelist, on, e I said that all of his novels were I based directly upon tales from the ; Bible. It would be an educational ! diversion for any person, or group I to make a study of the Bible as a I book of raw material raw mater-1 I ial of literature, law, philosophy, I i poetry, history and ethics. This old' ' Book has for ages been a mine in which the wise have dug deeply of varied treasures. As Charles A. Dana declared. ' there is no "snapper" for a news I paper editorial equal to a pat quotation from Scripture None of the , old Testament Stories has been more productive of fiction, poetry, | drama, and politics than that of j ■ Joseph, "the boy who made good." , I Horatio Alger at his best never I wrote a “success" story equal to I this one. For three weeks the Sunday Schools are to consider the, career of Joseph. The best prep-j aration for these Lessons is to! read the absorbing record in the Thirty-seventh, Thirty ninth, For-, tieth and Forty First Chapters of Genesis. Merely as literature, and I for sheer, inherent interest, the, ! tale is unsurpassed. A Poet Amidst Clodhoppers It will be recalled that Jacob! I had two wives, and concubines be-; : sides, and was the father of twelve sons. But it was Rachel whom I he really loved; and her two sons, | Joseph and Benjamin, born in his i -old age, were the darlings of his ' | heart. True: he repeated the mis-i take of his own parents in show | ing favoritism. But these two youngest sons do seem to have been of finer quality than their half brothers.

WBWra®*- —— — This is a house of distinctly modern design in which no attempt is made to recreate any style of the past. Smooth surfaced walls, large glass areas, and metal window frames logically develop contemporary ideas. The plan is well studied and provides sleeping quarters away from the noise and odors of the kitchen and a large living room accessible to a terrace. An outside stair leads from this terrace to the deck above. The dining alcove adds spaciousness to the living room. . , . uThe house was designed by the architectural firm of Adams & Adams, and is located at San Antonio, Tex. The property, which is valued at $6,500, is financed by a $5,200 mortgage insured by the Federal Housing Administration. Monthly payments of $45.42 include amortization, interest. taxes, insurance, and other fixed charges.

i dreamer and a poet, and fundamentally religious; while his brothers were rough and ordinary shepherds and farmers. Doubtless Joseph was a bit of a prig, and showed the defects of his more favored rearing. He was guileless land naive, and did not hesitate to I I tell his dreams to his uneomprei bending brothers, even though j these dreams foreshadowed his future eminence over them. Efficiency: The Way Up Everywhere is a place of opportunity for the person of right qualities. Thundering from the lines of this story is the admonition to youth to be efficient in even the lowliest position. All obstacles give I before the competent person. "The j [ host way to get out of an unpleas-1 • ant position is to be conspicuously' I effective in it" said a statesman. ' The shrewdest lawyer I know, in talking to me years ago, about the I education of his son. said, “The! ! greatest lesson for a boy to learn j ] is to be efficient." His son is now! ' the head of a big business. i Joseph was sold to Potiphar, an i : Egyptian officer, to work as a I household slave. Soon he had the! I management of the whole estab- | lishnient. He had "made good." as i I the capable young man will, whor-' lever placed. He did not waste his' ; powers in self pity, or in grieving over his misfortunes. Like Kip ! ling's American. "He turned a keen, untroubled! | face. I Home to the instant need of] I things.” I Misfortune again overtook him, I when he learned the bitter truth i one of the tragic lessons of a | j noble young man's experitfneethat not all women were as good] !as his mother. Tempted by Poti- ■ phar's wife, but refusing to yield! land so to sin against God. he was I "framed." as the nimlern lingo has i it. and sent to Jail. For. as the proi verb says, "Hell hath no fury like j a woman scorned." A Job In Jail Even in jail Joseph "made good." land was soot) given entire charge ' of the place. The record runs that | j "Jehovah was with him"; with him j i as inspirer and comforter and re-i : warder. God is always with the | I man who is making the most of 'himself and of his opportunities.l Th'.re is neither common sense, I nor real piety in the miscalled “re-! I ligious” folk who sink into effort-1 I less complacency and expect the'

Lord to care for them. There was an active partnership between Joseph and Jehovah. Nobody can ever tell what contact or incident is going to shape Ills future. In the Egyptian jail two ex officers of pharaoh confided to this sympathetic young man -for he was the sort to whom persons tell thi|ir trolibles th<| dreams that troubled them. JoJSfth interpreted the butler’s dream as signifying restoration to royal favor; and the baker's dream to mean execution. Both were so fulfilled. Joseph, who never missed a chance, hade the butler to remember hint and to speak an interceding word with pharaoh. For two long years the ungrateful butler forgot his promise; a very lifelike touch in the story. Then pharaoh was troubled fiy a ! repeated dream of seven fat kine; | and of seven fat ears of grain which were consumed by seven thin ears. The court soothsayers could give no satisfactory interpretation. Then the butler remembered Joseph. The First National Planner So Joseph waif brought from jail and dressed up for a royal audience. He showed the monarch that the dreams were a warning of sev- | en years of famine to come, pre- [ ceded by seven years of exceptlon- , ally good harvests. He counselled | the king to lay aside a proportion I of the food from the seven fat | years to edrry the nation through ; the seven lean years the first reI corded instance of the national planning that is so much to the I fore in the world todiky. Who should direct this grandii ose plan? Sensibly, pharaoh chose , Joseph, who had proposed it. He | exalted him to the highest place | in the kingdom second only to the ' throne itself. Thus the story rol mantically carries our hero from the cistern of death into which ■ this cruel brethren had thrown him; from the slavery and imprisI onment of Egypt, up to the pin- ! nacle of the nation's life "truth i stranger than fiction.” I SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS I Courage in danger is half the i battle.
