said: "Come near me and do not be afraid, nor grieve that you sold me
into Egypt, for God has been with me and kept me, and made me ruler, so
that I have been able to save many people from the famine."

Then the brothers drew near, and Joseph wept with them, for he loved
them. Then he said: "Go back and bring my father, Jacob, and my youngest
brother, Benjamin, that we may live together once more."

And Joseph went to meet his father in a chariot, and brought him before
Pharaoh, and the king was much pleased, for he loved Joseph and all his
household.

Then Joseph gave to his father and brothers houses and lands, so that
they all lived together in peace in the land of Egypt.

And the Lord was with Joseph and prospered him all the days of his life.




THE COURTESY OF THE SPARTAN BOY


There were, hundreds of years ago, two very large and grand cities,
which strove to excel each other. The one city was Sparta, the other was
Athens. These cities were not like our cities of today. They had
beautiful, broad streets, but no street cars. They had magnificent
buildings, but no electric lights. They did have schools, but they were
unlike our schools. The boys in both Athens and Sparta were taken away
to school when they were six years of age.
