Lesson Texti Job 1:8; 2:7-9; 19:7-10; - .V 42)1-69 James 5:11. the Prologue to the Book of Job gives at a scene which takes place in Heaven d tells- of -a eonvenaA Jion between the' Lord God and Satan, who is not' pictured here s the evil one but rather as a cynic, who doubts the motives of thoBe who love God and try to serve him, insisting that the only motives which rule, men aire t bottom selfish. As pointed out in our first lesson, God gives Satan i . ; i i . ... i permission. w iry jod, wno is ue- .-7. mXU.-.1 J . - aviiucu h a jrerieci ana upngni v nan, one that feareth God, and trust i, eth away from evil." 4 As a test, every material thing was taken from Job. His herds, his 'servants and even his sons and ; daughters were taken from him. Only his wife was left to him. Job arose, rent his robe and shaved his head (the customary token of great r gneij ana worshipped Uod and said: la'tha'rordaNrf our "printed text, Job' tries 'out, I'Behold, t,, shriek Violence' and am not answered." Forsaken by his friends, his kinfolk and even by his .-.wife and realizing tnat tne religion had khown from his youth .was not sufficient, - Job cries to God to give him a reason for his suffering. In the second sec tion of the 19th chapr, we can see that Job has become more reconciled to his fate, that he knows that God is just and is not blind or deaf to the pleas of his poor, tortured ser vant While he still does not know the pattern to which his suffering adds harmony and beauty, he is sure that God has a meaninar and that ha will himself one day know and under stand. Thus; -Job finds Deace In hia nee sonal experience with God. He now realizes JusJ what faith is a willing ness to trust where he does not and cannot understand. . He Heclnrpa "Mine, eye seeth thee," that is, he has learned enough about God through his experience to justify his larcn in mm. Charles Brown has declared. "It is a great moment in ai;v man's life when God becomes a living reality to him; when out of cloud of flame, in the silence of the night, of in the busy day, the living voice of the Eternal is heard. It came to Abra ham, to Jacob, to Elijah, who hid his face in his mantle, to Is'aiah, to Paul, to Augustine, to Luther, and to the innuberable obscurer npnnlp VIIDWS? i. 2. Who is John W. Snyder?

The record declares that, in all this, Job sinned not, nor vnargeu vioti loousniy. i a eecona scene takes place in Heaven between God and Satan. God told Satan that Job "still holdeth fast 4 Jus integrity, although thou movedst , me against him to destroy him with out cause." Satan, while disappoint ed that his first scheme had not worked, suggested another "Put for- V tny nand now, and touch his bone .; ana nis nesh, and he will renounce . thee to thy face." God replied, "Be hold, he is in thy hand; only spare his life." . 1 Thus, Job was smitten with boils "from the sole of his foot unto his r erown." Job is pictured as sitting outside the town in the ash heap, scraping off the scurf from his skin wicn a potsherd, a piece of earthen- humanity by noble lives and faithful service. 1 believe it comes sooner or later to every man who really cares for his fejlows, and broods over the mysteries which surrounds and dark en human existence, and looks up for light." We should remember .that Job is not the first man to doubt the eood- ness of God because of some suffer ing or trouble that has come unnn him. Man has lonsr cherished t.hp feeling that, as lonsr as he remained faithful in his allegiance to God, he should have preferential treatmpnt. special care and material prosperity. it does not work out this wav everv time, as we know. If God rewards a man for his goodness, who is to be the judge of the "good thinsrs" he is to receive? Material prosperity is not always good for man. nrovinir more of a curse than a blessing oftentimes. One still hears the question, "Why j w u l i. -V, J 01111 "ers me question, Why the limit had been reached, that he should renounce his faith in God, and 'vdie.

Tests On New Grass Prove Satisfactory Tall fescue, a relativpl in North Carolina, has partly solved the lone-felt need fnr a m. w vnc ductive grass for noorlv H minor) soils where redton and for an early grass to grow with laaino clover in the East, according to Dr. R. L. Loworn, Agronomy Ex tension specialist at State College. This grass which should not be confused with meadow fescue, is a tall arrowine hunch the same type of growth as orchard grass, the specialist said. It is very green in color, being darker than most of the perennial will remain greener in midsummer and midwinter than does orchard grass. Also, it is seeminsrlv adaDted to a wider ranire of Soil ortnrliriorui than orchard grass.
