To quote this great author we give the well known axiom, tlA gent man never dodges, his eyes look straightforward; also that he is lord his own actions, and that great men often occupy the humblest positi in life. One of Emersonls greatest aims was moral development and he d fined character as being a latent power of undiininishable greatness. said that men of character like to hear of their faults and are the conscieu 0f the society to which they belong. As we read his essay. ttCharacter we learn that new actions are the only true apologies for old ones. Th, thought is best summed up by saying that only the pure and aspiring Ca lmow this indehnable something and the only compliment they can pay' is to own 1t. His gentleness and tenderness were inborn traits, and as one man one said of him, ttEnierson removed inelfs idols from their pedestals so tenderl that it seemed like an act of worshipfl Though he has been accused of b ing' disconnected in his writings, yet as Lowell remarks, tt'So were the star 2i: 2i: i: and were they not knit together by a higher logic than our mere 361135 coulzl master?

DAL LE VON 29 The seven lean kine are seven years of famine, which will follow 21d eat up the abundance of the years of plenty. Therefore let the king choose a wise man and make him ruler of Egypt so that he may fill the public qranaries with grain during the years of plenty? i This advice pleased Pharao and he chose Joseph to be the governor of Egypt. During the years of plenty. Joseph stored up great quantities of grain. XVhen the famine came it spread even to the land of Canaan, where the brothers of Joseph lived. Then Jacob told his ten older sons to $0 to Egypt 11ml lmy grain. x The brothers, arriving in Egypt, met Joseph, but they did not rec00'11ize him. Joseph. however. knew his brothers. He wished to see if they bwere still hanl-hearted and cruel, so he accused them of being spies. They de- clared that they were once twelve brothers, but now one was dead and Benjzmlin. the youngest, was at home with their aged father. Joseph then said that he would keep Simeon in prison until they should come hack. bringing their brother Benjamin. So the brothers went home, but Simeon remained in prison. After a while the brothers returned with Benjamin and Joseph released Simeon. Joseph treated them very kindly but still they did not recognize Joseph. XYhen Joseph saw how kindly the brothers treated Benjamin, he could restrain himself no longer and he cried out: tlI 3111 Joseph!
