Excerpt from The Victory of God It might have been a tempting moment for many another man. His brothers were absolutely in his power. His father, for whom he had a tremendous affection, was dead, and no longer there to protect them or appeal for tenderness. They had all come back from the funeral wondering how it was going to be with them now, when there was no one to stand between them and the wind Of their ill-desert. And they came cringing to Joseph, whining for kindly treatment. It takes a great man to forget the wrongs of youth when the iron entered into the soul, yet Joseph did it. It takes a greater man to con fess to those who have wronged him that the injury they did turned out to his advantage, yet Joseph did that. Fear not, he said, am I in the place of God? Asf r you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to save much people alive. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
