THE CHARLOTTE NEWS MARCH 23, 1 908. The Character Of Job Praised Bishop Cheshire, After Confirming a Class ov 23 at St. Peter's Epi5CO- , pill CntirCn, Preaches a Masterly Sermon. The services at St. Peter's Episcopal Church yesterday were of unusual in-! terest. The sermons at both morning and evening were preached by Bishop Joseph Blount Cheshire, of Raleigh. In the morning-, when he confirmed a class of twenty-three candidates, his tonuMation and suffering. It tests char subject was "The Character of Job." i actL,r: it either brings out and develops and in the evening "Job's Three ; ho ivajtv of noble qualities, or it Friends." Both sermons were master ly efforts. The music program both morning and evening was exceptionally good especially the rendition of "Gloria" from Mozart's Twelfth Mass. Bishop Cheshire's text in the morn Ing was lrom James 5:11: "Be hold we count them happy which en dure. Ye havo heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy." After declaring that "we may believe that Job was a real character:" that he lived on the border of the great Arabi an desert, soulh 01 the land of Ldom. ; and that lie was a Hebrew. Bishop Cheshire went on to say in part: "Job then, standing outside the Ab rahamic Covenant, and yet a worship per of the true God, with high and line conceptions of God and of His ser vice and worship, may be put in the same class with Melehizodek Jethro, and the prophet Balaam. Such char acters, introduced into the Old Testa ment, and represented as being high in the favor of the Almighty, must have been meant to guard God's people against the error of supposing that God's grace is confined to those with in His formal Covenant. The seed of Abraham were His chosen. His elect. But His love and gracious purposes have an extension beyond the bounds of His visible election. The Book of Job deals with the fundamental facts and experiences of human life, and so it has for its character man in his primitive relationship to God. "Job is set before us as a perfect ly noble character: 'There was a man in the land of Yz. whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.' He is set in a scene of peace, prosperity, honor, and hap piness, surrounded by every earthly good. That is the simple primitive idea of the enjoyment of the divine favor. To the child the father's love expresses itself in sensible kindness end comfort. God's goodness is some times expressed thus. And in Job we Bee an example of human nature un corrupted by posterity. "Not every hand can carry a full cup,' says an old divine (Leighton.) Job could, and did. We see this all through his his- tory. A beautiful hint of his character ! is found in the opening chapter (1:3): 'And it was so when the days of their (i. e., Job's children) feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sancti fied them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered best offerings ac cording to the number of them all: for Job said, it may be that mv sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continual ly.' This brief sentence shows the man. He was humble; he was watch ful; his heart was both loving and generous. "The initiations of this single verse are confirmed and amplified in Jcb's 1 the sins of Saul: judged by our con last speech where he recalls with pa-i ventional rules Eliphaz was more pa thetic beauty and eloquence the cir- tient than Job. But Job went through cumstances of hi:-; prosperous days. ( his trial, and while he groaned and wept and complained, he still held fast "Oh, that I were as in the months of old, As in the days wh?n God watched over me When his lam'i shineJ upon my head, And by hi:: light I walked through darkness.' Etc. "It is possible at. tlrs time to con Eider only one or two of Ihe more im portant topics suggested by the sight of this noble character. Job is calle-d the most patient ef men. In what fiense was he patient? It is fair to say that to many readers of the Bible Job seems to m;;nife::t very distinct marks of impatience. The verse from the fifth, chapter of St. James's Epistle, which I have placed at the head of this lecture, will suggest an explana tion of Job's patience, 'Behold we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have Been the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.' The word 'patience' in this place is the noun form of the same word which is translated 'endure;' in the the first sentence. Literally, St. James says, 'Behold we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the endurance of Job.' There are one or two other words in the Xew Testament which are rendered by the English word 'patience,' but the word patience in our English Bible is usually Grape-Nuts food is made of Wheat and Barley, in large 10 Tb. loaves which are first baked until rock hard. The slices are then ground Into the granules called Grape-Nuts. The long baking, changes the starch of the cereals to a form of sugar which is easily digested and quickly absorbed by even a child. It affords ideal nourishment for all ages frcm infancy to maturity; for all condi tions from the Invalid to the Athlete. "There's a Reason." the rendering of the word 'endurance.' The quality commended In Job is the I quality of endurance. ' "The exact meaning of this word is not merely to suffer, to submit to, to undergo. It literally means to 'con tinue under.' It means so to suffer l;is to continue, and not to be suppress- ' .-.! or .lest roved, but. as we say. to ir uu ur.uer mo ioau. :um imeanirg id discoverable m me i.ic ,nd applied by St. James to Job: Ye i havo board of Job's endurance, of how he underwent suuVnng and loss and ! trial, and was not crushed by n, mil icame out and was still himself.' That I i in ev.ji't iiooomir of the case. The accuser. Satan, laid this heavy load upon him to crush him. to show that his virtue was an appearance, not reality: that this test being applied to Job. i he pei feet man. would disappear, and a different character would be manifested. This is one aspect of all i manifests their hollowness. bo St. j James says: 'Behold we count them happy which endure. e have heard of the endurance of Job.' "This beiag the essential quality in patience endurance the power of suffering without losing integrity i. e., wholness of character; enduring, continuing faithful to what we pro fess, and coming out without losing ourselves, whatever else may be lost, we may understand that it may not al ways make the same outward signs of its presence in a man's character. Indeed, like all human qualities, it grows and develops, and may be less apparent under the iirt:t stress of trial, before the spirit of man has roused itself up to endure; and through many inconsistencies and conflicts it may bring him through at the last. Job's cries and groans, his cursing the day of his birth; his complaints against God; his passionate protest against the hardness of his friends these are exhibitions of impatience in one sense of the word: none of us would bear pain if we could help it; we are all impatient in that respect; but all these things were consistent with Job's en durance. He was not by all these any nearer to giving up his faithfulness to God and the preservation of his integrity. Rather all this freedom and even violence of language is every where full of assertions that God is good and holy, and that nothing but His incomprehensible judgment and chastisements should make Job give up his faith in God and his assurance that he himself had been faithful to God. "Another consideration may be help ful. We seldom in real life see the process of discipline and of develop ment in human character. We see only the outside: we see results in character, the good result, the bad re sult. We see the man who has over come temptation, and the man who has fallen under temptation. We sel dom have any, even the slightest glimpse of the struggle the inward contest, with its varying turns; its ef forts and its failures; its prayer and its success little by little; the crying out of the heart and mind against the doubts and fears; the darkness and the terror, with which God afflicts the soul. In the Bible we have these processes exhibited to us. Job s heart is laid bare. We see it all. We see him in the impatience of the most patient man, the doubts of the believer, the fears of the faithful heart, the anger and indignation of the sweetest and most generous of spirits. We hide the littleness of our small souls, and set forth to the view of men our conven tional virtues, and we wonder at the sins of God's saints. But the Bible puts the whole man and his whole life before us. and hides none of the in firmities of the best. We know more of the sins of David than we know of to his principles, he rejected all hyp- oential professions, he came out in the end, and learned to submit himself to God without understanding His pur poses. 'Behold we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is pitiful, and of tender mercy.' "The more we think of the imperfec tions of God's saints, the more we should be encouraged to strive to emu late their virtues. From all Job's earl ier speeches it appears that he was as rebellious under affliction as we are. The point in his favor, the one thing with which he began his struggle, was that he recognized that it was God's will, and that he must submit to it. Xow this state of mind of simply see ing that we must submit to God's will, and seeing our lives as ordered by God's will, is very far from Christian resignation and patience. Job's words to his wife, 'Shall we receive good from the hand of the Lord, and shall we not receive evil also?' interpreted by Chapter iii, . where he 'cursed his day,' show that Job had not entered very far into the truth as he afterward came to see it. But at any rate it was beginning right. And thus see ing his afflictions as God's will for him, and seeing that he must endure it he could repel the temptation of his wife's evil suggestion. And he went on to greater conquests in the end. And so with us. Trouble and sorrow and bereavement come to us mysteri ous, overwhelming, a black cloud through which no ray of light pene trates we cannot understand it we efn onlv manage to submit. We can eimply bow the shoulder to the bur uen. We cannot see how it is good for us; and if we do not so see it, we ought not to pretend to do so. But we ran bear it. If He lays it on, it is not too great for us, though it may seem so. And out of this submission will come strength. We are not to bee too anxious to lie .relieved of trials and difficulties. What we take to be a de sire for manifestations of God's love and favor, may, in fact be merely an unwillingness to submit to the trials and sufferings incident to our condi ' tion, and necessary for our discipline, j "Sometimes, however, a tender and sensitive soul is troubled by its own j sense of weakness and insufficiency; not because it shrinks from the burden, or is unwilling to endure the pain; but because it fears that its imperfec- Blood Humors Affect the whole system and cause most diseases and ailments.

As the old familiar hymn used to express the feeling: " 'Would my heart so hard remain, Prayer a task and burden prove, Any duty give me pain, If I knew a Saviour's love? "To such the memory of Jom's im patience, of his cries and groans and tossings. may be a help by showing them that imperfection does not neces sarily imply unreality; and the faith and patience which can endure the buprden of today, have the promise of being kept safe through all tomorrows. "I can never forget my first experi ence with one who sought my help and counsel as a minister. He was a man of ripe old age, full of years and of honors; beloved by all, eminent as a citizen, as a man, as a Christian. He had filled with credit the highest po sition open to him in church and in state, and his character had adorned his station. Young and inexperienced myself, I had looked to him for help and support in my first efforts to minis ter to a parish. Before 1 had been one year in the office of deacon, he opened iiis heart to me in regard to his thought about death, which he knew could not be far off though he was then in his usual good health. He told me that he was afraid to die; that he could not face the prospect of death, as he felt that a Christian ought to. This fear itself was not such as to cause him special distress except as it seemed to him to imply some defect or unreality in his faith. He had during a long life professed to believe in Christ: why should he now tear death? Had he been insincere or unreal? Death should have no terrors for the Christian: yet he feared it. I remember Can I ever forget? my feeling of dismay and ut ter insufficiency when for the first time I was confronted with such a question from such a man! I sat and looked at him in honest helplessness, knowing not what to answer. But I determined with myself that I would not speak cant and formality. Unless something really should be given me to say which I could myself feel the truth of. I determined to say nothing. So I sat and looked at him. Having relieved his mind by unbosoming himself he seemed not disposed to hurry me, but waited patiently, with characteristic gentleness and consideration, until I should speak. And then, as I saw him in accustomed health such as I had seen him for months, the very simple and natural thought came to me, that he was not called upon to die then; and so he had no occasion for strength to endure a trial not sent to him. And so with hesitation and the timidity which comes of inexperience, and is not unbecoming in the young, I sug gested that perhaps it was only neces sary for him to perform the duty at hand, and that bearing the present burden and having strength to do the present duty, was the best assurance of being able to meet future trials. He was of a gentle and humble spirit, and my answer seemeel to satisfy him. "Within a few weeks of that day, I sat by his bedside in the evening, as the daylight died away, and the shad ows gathered around us, and he told me with the same sweetness and self possession, that he felt that his end was near, and that he did not regret it, nor did he feav to die. 'God has been good to me,' he said in substance; 'I have lived many years. I have tried to do my duty to my family and friends, and to my country. I can now serve them no longer. I Can only go to those who have gone before. " 'I feel.' he said, and I am sure I re member with substantial correctness: T feel that all that the goodness of God con do for me now is to take me out of this world where my work is ended.' And then, noticing the closing , in of the night, he said he had always admired Bishop Kerr's evening hymn; it seemed to him the most beautiful of all hymns; antl he longed to hear it once more before ho died; and he ask ed me if I would not sing it for him. We were alone, he and I. and I com plied with his request a3 best I could. He lived some few days longer, but I yove to let that scene dwell in my memory, and to associate that holy and patient man with those beautiful words which he illustrated in his life, and in liis death. " 'Teach me to live that I may dread The grave as little as my betl: Teach me to die that so I may Triumphing rise at the last day.' " Missionary Meeting At Tryon St. Church The services at Tryon Street Metho dist church yesterday morning were missionary in character, and in charge of the laymen. After an introduction by the pastor, short missionary talks were made by Messrs. E. A. Cole, J. B. Ivey, J. D. McCall and J. G. Free land. Newspapers readers have heard much during the past six months of the Laymen's Missionary Movement, and are familiar with the fact that at the meeting here in December last $30,000 was assessed upon Charlotte churches as an additional contribution to missions. At the close of the serv ice a collection was taken in which $050 was subscribed as a part of this church's assessment. The pastor took occasion to tell of what he saw at the Pittsbury mission ary gathering week before last, saying it was ahead of all the meetings he had ever seen. It was a quiet business meeting, with business methods. Tell ing of the principal things discussed To Drive Out Malarta And Build Up the System. Take the Old Standard GROVE'c TASTELESS CHILL TONIC. You know what you are taking. The for mula is plainly printed on every bot tle, showing it is simply Quinine and Iron in a tasteless form, and the most effectual form. For grown people and children 50c. at Pittsburg, he came to the work of this branch of the Methodist church and gave figures to show what it was doing in foreign lands as well as at home. Mr. E. A. Cole then took charge of the meeting, saying he considered mis sions the real work of the church, and that this work is the only thing Christ left for us to do. Mr. J. B. Ivey spoke of what could be done by Tryon Street church, and introduced a chart to show that while this congregation is one of the largest and the church, as a church, the best in the conference, there are 19 other charges which pay more for missions per member. He thought the reason of this was that the congregation had not thought of the matter. Following Mr. Cole, Mr. J. D. McCall spoke of the want of thought and made some pertinent remarks about the gov- ernment of this Christian nation, the! champion of religion, going strutting around the world showing its fighting ability. Speaking of missions and mis sionary work, he said the most pathetic thing he ever read was of David Liv ingstone's work in Africa, and the car rying by the natives of his dead body for nine months across the continent that it might go back to England to rest. He also told of the Moravian missionary to the island of Jamaca, w ho, finding that, according to the law and usages there, he coulel not reach the shores from without, sold himself into slavery that he might reach them, and sowed the seeds that freed all slaves. Following this Mr. Joe Freeland spoke of home mission work in Char lotte as he found it. The Great Passion Play Monday, Tuesday, Wednes day The Casino WHAT A WATT IS The Electrical Unit and its Equivalent in Horce-.oower. In the electrical world one hears and reads a great deal about "watts." The current is measured by watts, the machinery is rated by watts and lamps burn by watts. To the ordi nary layman all this talk of watts is mystifying. The man to whom we owe the idea of the horse-power was a Scottish in ventor, James Watt, and when the electric unit involving the idea of working capacity came to be formu lated the name of Watt was chosen to indicate this unit, just as that of Volta has given us the term volt and Faraday the farad. Watt considered that, taking the average, a London dray horse was capable of doing the work of lifting 32,000 pounds throui one foot of gravity. The introduction of this time limit, the minute, gave the unit of power, or rate of performing work. This or its equivalent has ever since been called a horse-power. The electrical unit called the watt is capable of being represented in terms of the horse-power, and in' that form it is perhaps more intelligible to those who are familiar with me - chanical rather than with electrical expressions. The electrical watt is the product of volts, multiplied by amperes, where the volt is the unit of electrical pressure, and the ampere is the unit of measuring the density, or volume, of an electrical current. Careful experiments have elemon- strated that 746 watts per second are equal to 55G foot pounds per second, or, to state the equation in its usual form, 746 watts equal one horse- power. The form in which electrical power generally is sold is computed on the basis of kilowatt hours. The prefix ivilo comes from the Greek chiliol, 1,000. A kilowatt, written also k. w., is therefore 1,000 watts. The kilo watt hour is the performance, or work, at such a rate that 1,000 watts per second shall be delivered continu ously for one hour. The kilowatt hour has a special interest for the man who has his of fice or house lighted by electric lamps, because the kilowatt hour is the unit upon which the power and light company base their charges.
