to look after his sheep and cattle;
and he put all twelve of his sons to
work. Eleven of them had real
Work; Joseph, though next to the
youngest of them all, was a kind of
boss or overseer. At least that is
what his father intended.
! He dressed the boy not in
working clothes like the others
but in fancy clothes, and' used
to send him around to see what
tho other boys were up to. Natu-
rally Joseph’s brothers did not
take to all this; in fact they
i hated him so hard that they
I were on the point of murdering
him.
j On the very day of the proposed
murder, however, the brothers dis-
covered a chance to sell him as a
slave. So Joseph was sold off to
^ome traveling slave-traders, and
■for all his brothers knew or cared,
he was off to a lingering death.
* • •
Where Was the Hand of God?
.■JOSEPH expressed no opinion about
J this at the time. (He was proba-
bly gagged.) But judging from his
;general character and behavior at
Jthat time of his life, it is no trouble
■to guess his thoughts. He was “fit
:to be tied”; indeed, he must have
(been tied on a camel’s back, for no
slave-trader in his senses would
make Joseph walk the 200 miles to
Egypt.
The better his condition on ar-
rival, the higher the price. (As
it turned out, a very wealthy
man bought him; perhaps only
a wealthy man could afford
him.)
If you had asked Joseph while
he was being hauled down to
Egypt and the slave-market, Where
is God in all this? Joseph might
wall have answered: “Nowhere. The
devil is in this, or my devilish
brothers. Nobody means any good
,by it. The only reason they are sell-
ing me instead of killing me is that
they are making a little by it; these
jslave-traders are certainly not in
.business for their health. I am the
Only son my father trusted, and
JEtow I shall die a wretched death in
a strange land.”

them in the race for Queen. Her
king will be Jimmy Felty.

neighbors a chance to place an
orders with us. Many people
have already done so. The
money from the cards will help
to pay for a fine yearbook.
Now, we ask you, who could
ask for a handsomer, more suit-
able couple to reign over the
Hallowe’en Carnival of 1951 than
the Senior candidates, Claudette
Grantham and a king that she
will choose? Come on, Seniors,
let’s put them on the throne.

The Wisdom of the Years
mHAT was Joseph at seventeen.
* At the age of 56 he saw a dif-
ferent picture. Many strange years
had passed; Joseph had been slave
and then prisoner; then by a dra-
matic turn in his fortunes he had
risen overnight to be the top food
administrator, price controller and
'economic stabilizer, all in one, for
the great empire of Egypt.
His brothers, driven by famine,
had fled to Egypt for help, and
'Joseph, after playing cat-and-mouse
With them for months, at last told
them (to their great terror) who he
'was. But he had returned good for
'evil; had invfted down his whole
family, father, brothers and all, and
given them refuge in a corner of
Egypt. At last Jacob died.
The brothers, who made the
mistake of thinking Joseph no
better than themselves, had sup-
posed that all Joseph was wait-
ing for was his father’s death.
i Now would be the time for
[ Joseph’s long-delayed venge-
ance. Possibly Joseph the boy
had dreamed of just such an
hour. But Joseph the man was
wiser. To his brothers, cower-
ing before him, he said a
memorable thing: “You meant
it for evil, but God meant It
for good.” (Gen. 50:20.)
He still had no illusions about his
~ ' l a bad lot.
But God “meant it for good.” That
‘ Wicked act, selling him into slavery,
had been the unintentional means
[of saving hundreds of lives. Joseph
now, with the wisdom of his 56
years, can see the hand of God
which his 17-year-old eyes could
not see at all.
So in times of distress the thought
[should come to each of us: God’s
,hand may just now be out of sight,
tbut some day, looking back even on
[this distress we too shall see the
‘hand of God.
