poor and needy in this world. But there is a glorious " whosoever" in the last verse of this chapter which ought to cheer them. "Whosoever" believes is a near relation of Christ. The elder Brother will provide for him in time and eternity^ and never let him be cast away. There is not one ''little sister" in the family of the redeemed, whom Jesus does not remember. (Cant. viii. 8.) Joseph provided richly for all his rela- tions, and Jesus will provide for His.
