THE BROTHERLY
By W. E. GILROY, D. D. Editer of Advance HE story of Joseph reaches its highest point in the interview of Judah, the eldest son of Jacob, with his brother, Joseph, who was “now, my lord,” and the most powerful man in Egypt, though unknown to Judah as the brother who years before had been sold into Egypt. Judah, as a matter of fact, had a great deal to do with Joseph's being in Egypt. When Joseph's brethren had thrown him into the pit and intended to abandon him ‘there, Judah had seen the caravan coming, and proposed, rather, that they should sell Joseph to this caravan going into Egypt. ; It seemed like a merciful proposal in comparison to the abandoning of Joseph to a cruel fate in the pit; and some readers have supposed that Judah’s motive was merciful, though he spoke of profit, so that he might influence his brothers.
= ”
T any rate, Judah had played a strange part in fate, and fate was playing him a strange part now; for Joseph, who was in Egypt by his act, was now the man in power before whom Judah was cringing with fear and subservience. Assuming that Judah was not wholly bad, and may have developed in character during the years, one sees him in a favorable light in the episode, apart from his fear and cringing. If he had sold-Joseph into Egypt, he was now not willing to leave, Benjamin there, He makes a plea’ concerning his father’s old age, and the tragedy it will be if he goes back to his father bereft of one son, to tell him that Benjamin, the other son of his old age, has been left in Egypt. Judah's plea rises to its best as he proposes that he himself should stay -as a bondsman, and that Ben-
Jamin should go back with his brethren. :

Canaan. Joseph had given instruction that
as they were returning home with their sacks full, a silver cup should be put in Benjamin's sack. Then he had sent after his brethren, ‘and when the cup was found, there Benjamin had been accused of stealing it. It was all, of course, a clever ruse on Joseph’s part to hold his brothers, and as an instance in the story, it leads up to that emotional crisis of his revelation of himself as the brother whom they had sold into slavery, now ready to deal with them not in revenge, but with magnanimity. One need hardly stress the fine qualities and teachings that emerge in this story with such extremes as light and shadow. When one realizes the spirit of revenge that is still abroad in the world, one has reason to sense the vision and the moral quality of the writer who set forgiveness and magnanimity upon the highest pinnacle in this ancient story. If men generally could catch even a small. part of that moral and spiritual vision, how different this | world would be! Wrongs could be | righted and sins could be rebuked | with a far greater keenness and | overwhelming power than can gyer | be manifested in doing evil for evil. |
