What Is Greatness Lesson for June 39, 1957 m’T'HE habitual vision of great- * fiess" has been called the secret of the ancient Greets, one of the world’s most wonderful people. Many would say that the ancient Hebrews were ejjen more wonderful; and they too had their “habitual vision of greatness.** Jn our Old Testament are stories

Dr. Foreman

of great men, for whom even today little children are named. These great men - and women too are of different kinds, you might say only one of a kind. Joseph was the kind of great man Americans

love to honor. He was an Immigrant, 1 for one thing, a poor boy, with nothing but the clothes he wore, when he first crossed the border of Egypt. He was a man who rose through all the layers of society, > against very great odds. He was* the “big executive" type, and Im-' mensely rich besides. Row it is not true that such men are always hailed and. honored. Sometimes they are noi mors Ipyed thau General Bullmoose. But when such men do give their fellow-citizens a lift of pride, it is because of that something Extra which we call greatness. Ths High Soul Every truly great man or woman has some qualities or gifts which are unique in him, and are partly brought out by his own special circumstances. The greatness of an Abraham Lincoln, for instance, is not that of a Dwight L. Moody, and neither of Jhese is quite like Hefta Keller. But there are some features to be found in all persons who deserve the word “great** Joseph in Egypt Is a good example of these. First of all Is what can be called the High Soul His house of life is open to the sky. He is guided by his faith in God. To such a man, faith is not a thing to be analyzed, , or talked about It Is something to ' be lived, and lived by. Every single ; important step In Joseph's life tt connected by his biographer with God: and Joseph himself shows that he was conscious of God’S' guidance. Even that decisive mo* ment when he was being sold to Midianite slave-traders,—a moment which Just then he would hardly have connected with God—y he later saw was an act of God. “It was not you who sent me here, but God." said be to his brothers later. What will God think of thill was not an afterthought with him, but it entered into his decisions beforehand. Ths Open Mind . Great men have their prejudices, no doubt; what human being is entirely free of them? But a great man is capable of living above his prejudices. He can revise his opinions. Neither the man who is foxw ever changing his mind, nor the man who can never change it, is likely to achieve greatness. When Joseph’s first son was born, he called him by a name which means “making-to-forget.” "God,” said he, “has made me forget... all . father’s house.” Joseph at that time, iand for years before and time, had no communication with his home back in Palestine To be sure, his family could neither read nor write; but Joseph could easily have sent a message telling them he was alive and doing very well indeed. On the contrary. he seems to have been quite content to be cut off from home. Very likely he thought the less he had to do with his rascally broth* ers. the better. But when the famine time came, he got acquainted with his brothers again;' discovered in one of them, at least, a noble spirit; and he so far revised his attitude that he invited the whole .family into Egypt near him The Wide Heart 4 Joseph's treatment of his brothers showed more than a willingness to reconsider his prejudices. Be had a heart willing to forget Ihe past, willing to return good for evil To men who had been a<mean to him as they could possibly be, he was as good and generous as he could possibly be. Most of us think we are mighty virtuous if in return for a dirty deal we do □ just a tiny grudging act of kind-' nesa That is'better than vengeance and mean dealing in return; but the great man is far above measuring what he gives by what has been given him. True greatness includes' more than justice; it in* eludes forgiveness and mercy. Voltaire used to say about God, “He will forgive—that’s bls business." , . ■

ABOVE THE CIRCUMSTANCES Rev. J. R. Meadows Now that summer is here let’s not forget our privilege of worshipping God together at least cnce each week. God desires the worship of our hearts during July and August as well as November and December. We can ill afford to neglect God though the weather be hot. As a matter of fact it is probably cooler in church than at home. If you are out of town you are almost sure to find a church where you can fulfill your Christian obligation to attend His worship on Sunday. Get out in the sunshine as much as you can but remember your Lord first. I think that we should remind
