Indeed, olijections which were once raised to certain statement in the sto' of Joseph by distinguished scholars of a former generation (Von Itohlen and Inch) hne Imi i found to be entirely withuut foundation.

The scene dcscriliod in the dream has a truly Egyptian color. Since Egypt wta the creatine of the Nile, which received divine honors, nnd the ai lous changes in theriver were regarded with the utmost anxiety, it was in keeping that the king should be thiire.

And there was long period of famine under Axpi, the 1'baraoh before whom Joseph has been xnppawed by some at that time to have stood.

There is certainly in this fact an impressive h-sson for those who wish to take a short and easy cut in their preparation for positions of honor and usefulness.
