the Treaty of Versailles was
signed ending it and reducing
Germany to Impotence, World
War II's greatest military spec
tacle, the invasion of Europe,
came on June 6th, 1944. And the
tide of the war In the Pacific
was turned at the Battle of Mid
way in June, 1942, when U. S.
Navy airmen sunk four Japanese
carriers and broke the back of
the Japanese carrier arm.
The U.S. Constitution was
ratified by the ninth state of the
original thirteen, New Hamp
shire, making it the official, on
June 21st, 1788. Before New
Hampshire, Delaware, Pennsyl
vania, - New Jersey, Georgia,
Connecticut, Massachusetts,
Maryland and South Carolina had
ratified the instrument in that
order. '
June 3rd is the birthday anni
versary of Jefferson Davis, June

Day. And in June of 1783 a large
number of angry, unpaid Revolu
tionary soldiers at Lancaster,

capital (and Congress) at Phil
adelphia and demanded satisfac
tion. An armed group appeared
at the State House but the Exe
cutive Council, In session, re

"Those three are ulways toKether," remarket! Lisa V mother.' She was
referring to her little daughter, who ia seldom seen without her beloved collie,
and her well-worn raff. doll. They are contant companions.
' "Lisa is very sensitive about friends," her mother continued. "And this
week she came home from Sunday School with a very important lesson.
Her teacher told her about God's love, and how He never leaves us. Lisa
came skipping into the house and announced, 'Now I have time good friends,
and the best one of all is Jesus.' "
Little Lisa had indeed learned a wonderful truth. All of us need to dis
cover it for our own lives. For every life needs the companionship of God.
Let your church bring- this hope and promise to you.

The fortunes and misfortunes of a righteous man (Job)
have become a slide rule for the countless generations
since his time. And certainly his life, his victories, his
misfortunes hold, today, a valuable lesson for self-confessed
Christians everywhere. ;
. as we will see from our Scriptural passages under
study today, Job was certainly a good man. And we will
Identify with him In terms of character; for Job's strengths
and his weaknesses are the strengths and weaknesses
of every one of us. He was, undeniably, a human being!
Jew In Biblical times adheres strictly to LAW; herein
.they found their acceptance with God. It was, indeed, some
what" paradoxical that Jesus - the Son of God - was more
liberal in His Interpretation of those laws than suited the
more orthodox members of the Jewish faith! For, while
Jesus respected the law ofMoses,Hedeclaredthat he come
to fulfill it.
Thus it is that the Sermon on the Mount (with its em
phasis upon righteousness) has its source In the heart of
indlvldaul man, rather than the oftentimes hypocritical
show of adherence to Its concepts that we are often expos-
ad to. 'V :-fy.',
No one would doubt Job's righteousness, who read his
Book; however,, one should question the pride he took In
' that righteousness. For humility before God. and for God,
la one of the basic precepts of the acceptability of a soul
'i in God's eyes. -.
to Job's time misfortunes were regarded as a punish
ment for sin; therefore, this view of the troubles that plagued
, Job was a generally accepted thing among his compatriots. -This
led Job to evaluate himself asaman, and as a believer.
And this self-analysis exposed his weakness He wast man
of prldet And pride according to the Word of God - is
a sint :,-'"V'' '
While it IS true that a person has to have some pride, this
is an attribute which (like credit) can be a blessing or a
curse. Credit, wisely used, Is a good thing to have; abused,
1 it can become a Frankenstein which rules us, and brings
much regretl The personal pride, which stubbornly refuses
to let one stoop to meanness and deceit - that Is a good .
' pride. Pride in one's accomplishments, that have been hon
estly sought after and .honestly earned that is a
good pride. As is a deep, inner personal fight that Is fought
and won, leaving us a better person, more understanding,
more tolerant, more kindly. But the kind of pride that Is
, based solely on an enumeration of our virtues , . . that Is
something elsel And that was what Job had. True, he did r ot
realize he was sinning; the kind of man he was, that would
have been the last thing that entered his mlndl But he was
guilty of sin when he questioned God's will, and the trend
It was taking with his life, and this he came to see.
And therein Uesalessonforallofust For Job was aware
of his goodness his feeding of the poor and hungry, his
hospitality to the wayfarer. Yes - Job was, Indeed, a good
man in his day and times! Yet, there is a di::trence between
Job and those whom Jesus praised for doing good! The
people in the parable of Jesus were not consciously aware
of doing good - they were acting in a way that Just came
naturally to them! (hdeed, they were hard-pressed, after
wards, to remember what they had d-f').
Are w not often guilty of t!.:s? Do wenotiallhelr

misdemeanours? Do we rot lose s -t of the fact that
