‘Fosephh Accused Faltsely and sent to Prison.

OSEPH’S master was captain of the King of Egypt's
J guards. He was very kind to his young servant, and finding
him good and honest, trusted him with everything. But Potiphar
‘had a wicked wife, who wanted to make Joseph deceive his kind
master. When she found that Joseph would not do anything
' wrong, because he knew that Gop could always see him, she grew
very angry; and she told her husband that Joseph was very
wicked and ought to be punished. Potiphar believed her, and
sent poor Joseph away to prison. But Gop knew that Joseph
was good ; and made the keeper of the prison kind to him.

Foseph Interpreting the Dreams of the Chief
Butler and Baker tn Prison.

HE keeper of the prison let Joseph help him to take care

of the prisoners. Among them were the butler and

baker of King Pharaoh. One morning Joseph found these men

looking very sad, and asked them what was the matter. They

said they had had strange dreams, and were sorry that there was

no one to tell them what they meant. Joseph said that only

Gop could tell what a dream meant, but he wished to hear them.

And when he had heard the dreams, Gop taught him how to

explain them; and just as he said, so it happened. The baker
was hung, and the King restored the butler to his place.
