humility is my life and salvation."
THE COMPLETE SURRENDER.

_Genesis 39: 1-3_.--_Joseph was brought down to Egypt; and Potiphar, an
officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him at the
hands of the Ishmaelites, which had brought him down thither. And the Lord
was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of
his master, the Egyptian, and his master saw that the Lord was with him_.
We have in this passage an object lesson which teaches us what Christ is to
us. Note: Joseph was a slave, but God was with him so distinctly that his
master could see it. "And his master saw the Lord was with him, and that
the Lord made all that he did prosper in his hands; and Joseph found grace
in his sight, and he served him,"--that is to say, he was his slave about
his person,--"and he made him overseer over his house,"--that was something
new. Joseph had been a slave, but now he becomes a master. "And he made him
overseer over his house, and all that he had he put into his hands.
