FRIDAY EVENING,
The Dreamer Who Saved
the World
International Sunday School Lesson for December 1
Is "J osc Pli Sold by His Brothers"
Genesis 37:18-28
lly WILLIAM T. ELLIS
There is a choke in our throats, a i
mist before our eyes, a thrill in
every fiber of our being, as we real- •
ize, in waves and surges of feeling,
that the war is over and that the j
world has been saved. Even the j
thoughtless and the irreverent tif
there be any such left) cry 'Thank i
God!" Now we have come to a
point where we can look back and ]
see the Providence which has ruled j
in all the strange and tragic events:
of these dark years. Already there j
emerge above the darkness and tha'
ruin dim foregteamS of the pur- |
poses of the Supreme Ruler who I
makes the wrath of man to praise !
him, ar.d who has declared "My j
ways are not your ways, nor my j
♦houghs your thoughts." None is |
so intidel as not to believe that
throughout the war the Almighty j
has been doing business with man
kind.
As if to re-enfcrce this great!
truth of an overruling Providence, ]
which lies like the light of sunrise |
behind the darkness of the world's j
night, millions are this week call-1
ed to consider the same theme as 1
it is set forth in the romantic story
of Joseph, the dreamer whose
dreams came true. The closing:
chapters of the book of Genesis,'
which began with the story of Crea
tion, are devoted to the affairs of
this one man. L)oes that seem lilto
na Incongruous descent from the
great and sublime to the small and
the unimportant? Far front it. The
providence of God is as truly con
cerned in the affairs of one life as
in the establishment o'f the uni
verse. Reverently it may be said,
that the Creator himself reveals
his height in ordering the life of
mortal, into whose frame he has
breathed a free and sovereign spirit.
All the final aims of God have to
do with man's life. It is for the
sake of humanity, in whose estate
God himself has chosen to find his
highest glory, that the worlds were
brought into being; and It is for the
sake of humanity that he has over
turned nations and systems and the
ancient order in a world cataclysm.
As we follow the course of Joseph
we find ourselves in a plain path
of divine leading.
By a Way .We Knew Not
Bad men and good men are both
tools in the hands of God. The mad
and ruthless ambitions of a German
kaiser; and the lofty, altruistic pur
poses of an American president,
alike serve the benign purposes of
an overruling Providence. Joseph.
BLAJRHISBUIUI TELEuKAPti:
- . . , '
j the idealist, the dreamer, is an in-1
I strumer.t of heaven, as are also the 1
! bloody brothers who consign him 1
to a cruel and unnatural "fate. As j
j we now look back upon history, and
I try to see things In the lnrge, it is j
j clear that a vast Purpose was at j
j work in Canaan and Egypt long
j ago; and in the whole world before
our eyes.
I Joseph had to go into bondage In
| order that his race might come into
! their heritage of freedofn. He was
1 carried out of Canaan to make it
j possible that his father's remoter
children should continue in Canaan,
iHe became a slave in order that
j they, ultimately, might become free.
I Our sons have died in France in
, order that never again will blacks In
African forests; Ncstorians In far
'Kurdistan; Armenians in Turkey,
j and Christians in the Balkans die
! victims ot tyranny and bigotry and
I autocracy. We see something of
I the sweep of the new peace and
' safety that have come .to earth
; through the sacrilice of all who have
i suffered in the war. It is only In the
j light of the world's long to-morrow
1 that we may be reconciled to the
'world's awful yesterday. Without
I a grip upon the truth that, seen as
1 God sees it, life is a whole unity
j of good, such tragedies as the war
would be intolerable.
"Still behind the dim unknown,
Standeth God within the shadow,
Keeping watch above his own."
The Bord is still ruler of his
1 world, even as in the days of Jo
seph. He holds our times in Ills
hand. He may be leading by a
) way we know not. but he is still
I leading. One simple truth that was
' visualized for me in a wonderful
' airplane ride I had in France, early
I this year, is that the heavenward
side of all clouds are beautiful be
-1 yond . telling.
Remembering the Josephs
I Some\Vhere there is always a Jo-1
t soph. Most of the world ignores
| that fact, it is more Interested in |
1 the rich and powerful Jacobs—about.
Ito die. By the time a man has
] spent his force and originality, and I
I become the jnere possessor of a j
i fortune or a position, his ncigh
| bors dub him a "leading citizen,"
I and elect him upon boards and com
-1 mlttees and to public office; al
though really his days of leader
] ship and initiative arc done. We
| forget that it has ever been the
young men who have created the
new nations, the new eras, the new
1 methods.
Now is the time to take thought
j of Josephs, the saviors of to-mor
' row. "If ever there was a day for
| looking well to our youth, protecting
I it, inspiring it, and make sure that
it dreams the right dreams, this is
; that day. A plastic world awaits
; shaping hands. Feeble and nerve
j less lingers, surviving from yester
day, are trying to crowd it back- in
to the old molds. In vain. Youth
| will have its way with the eman
cipated world; ours it is to see that
! youth's way is a way of wisdom and
brotherliness and reverence. At the
I present time, it is more worth while
i to teach a class of boys or girls the
j clear and simple integrities which
j God has stamped as eternal than
it is to sit on committees of "emi
nent citizens" or to be a director of
; the largest bank on the continent.
Vital forces are human fprces. What
counts most to-day for to-morrow
iis boys and girls. If the recon
; struct ion era does not witness a
| world-wide stressing of the import
: ance of child-training it will have
i missed its greatest opportunity. This
! is the hour to Concern ourselves with
j springs.
It is quite possible that some
body who reads these lines has in
; his, oh more likely her, keeping the
Joseph who 'will again save the
j world. Nobody in that Southern
i Christian home, a generation ago,
| imagined that the boy, Thomas W.
Wilson, who was trained at a fam
ily altar, in a Sunday school and
j church, and in a Christian school,
| and saturated with the impulses and
! ideals of simple and since-e Anglo
i Saxon Christian faith, would one day
; become the whole world's voice and
I leader. Suppose there had been a
i failure back in those forgott> n be
jginnlngs? Every parent, every teach-
I er, every editor, is divinely wise who
assumes that the impressionable
youth whom he is influencing, mtty
1 be the world's Joseph to-morrow.
Recently I talked with a friend
! about his college. He recited a list
; of its graduates who had grown rich
i and become figures in the commer
i cial and political world—and some
!of them, admittedly, by mathods
j which the founders of the institu
! Hon would never have condoned.
1 But among them a'l there is only
I one man who has become a moral
I force of magnitude, and he is such
; because of his integrity in public
| life. There has come forth no
) great prophet or Idealist. A few
! faddists, blind to the sublime spiri
| tual integrities, are the college's
S only contribution to public life on
I the nonmaterial side. It has sent
II forth no dreamers, no men or wo
-1 men .of vision, to inspire their time.
| j And this is the supreme arraign
-11 ment to be made of many American
j! schools and homes. We teach our
j sons and daughters how to, grow
I prosperous and "successful"; but we
| are not burdened in our spirits with
i j desire that they should be inter-
I; preters of God to their time, dream
ers and prophets. Out of the soul-
I agony of the war, will a race of men
| and women spring whose supreme
i quest is for God, and for human ser-
I vice.
A "Good"eltoy With Bad Brothers
This Joseph, son of Jacob and his
favorite wife Rachel, was a guile
less, coddled, self-centered young
ster. That he was not entirely spoiled
\ was a Wonden; his parents openlV
! favored him above his older broth
; ers. When there is favoritism in a
I family trouble is certain to follow,
j Jacob should have known better;
' for his own mother's partiullty to
11 him, above his brother Esau, had
caused most of his troubles. In
| stead, he openly showed his special
love for his youngest son, adoring
him with a coat that distinguished
him from the others.
There was a reason; but no rea
son is justification for favoritism in
a family. The brothers were rough,
I uncouth, out-of-doors men, who had
not always conducted themselves in
a way that reflected credit upon the
family honor. Joseph, on the con
trary, was a gentle, sensitive, ima
ginative and appreciative boy, frank,
simple, sincere and affectionate. As
such natures usually are, *!ie was -a
bit of a prig and a poser. In his
self-absorption he forgot the feel
| ings of others. It was all right to
I dream, but to tell his dreams as he
did Was not considerate, to say the
least. Most of the fine feelings
thrive best in the seclusion of one'H
own breast. It was neither bright
nor brotherly for he boy to tell the
others that, in a vision, he had
seen theni and their father mak
ing obeisance to him. We must
confess that Joseph at this period
belonged to the class of offensively
' good.
"If the good were only clever,
And the clever only good,
The world would be better than
We thought it possibly ever could."
As for the ten brothers, perhaps.
the lens said about them the bet
ter. Earlier chapters of tho Bible
story reveal their character. They
may sectn poor stuff upon which to
builcl a nation of promise. This
Y>roportion of ten to one is sug
gestive. Is it not about the normal
proportion between the ."rough
necks" and the "highbrows"? For a
hundred thousand "Atlantic Month
lies" there are a million "Cosmopoli
tans" sold. For one person who
reads Ibsen there are ten, plus,
who read George Ade. For one
man at the prayer meeting there
are ten or* more at the prize-fight
,or the musical comedy. N'evertlid
[lesr, us Joseph should have been 011
| terms of real friendship with hi*
1 brothers so the church folk should
i be' comradely with the nonchurch'
I crowd. Bet us hope that the shock
I of the war will shake pious folk out
of the bad and priggish habit of
contorting only with pioug folk. A
real indictment lies at the door of
i religious people that they do not
1 know, understand or sympathize
! with their neighbors who ure not
i religious. The church has too often
1 allowed herself to drift off into a
| backwash of life, apart from the
main currents. Joseph should have
been an influence in shaping the life
of his ten brothers; and the church
should be a power, now more than
ever, in changing the minds and
motives of the men outside her
membership. The world is not
safe unless it is impelled and guid
ed by the great convictions. War
I has been a schoolmaster to show
I the church how to lift the generality
[of mankind up to new and nobler
j levels. In this day of democracy,
the leaven beiongs in the lump.
Joseph's story bristles with truth
for our times. But its main mes
sage is one with the war's great
lesson, which is that God rules, and,
in spite o ail, gets his will done
among men. When he needs a man
in Egypt, he may have to send him
by the slave route; but that road led
to the highest place in the world.
We know that wc are in God's
hands, and on the way to somewhere
and something good, we know not
what, but God Is In control. His
purposes are better than our plalis.
Our path, as during the past four
years, may run down through the j
Dark Valley; but it leads to God's
good goal. t I
