Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson, Job Faces the Problem of Suffering, Job 1:8, 2:7-10; 19; 7-10; 42:1-7, James 5:11, for Sunday, July 20. Job Is used as an example of a man of faith in God no matter how much suffering must be endured. an example ot a man able to cling to virtue as its own sufficient reward. The problem td suffering can not be explained in many instances. A man faith believes that God in his irtrn good time will answer all questions of suffering, all problem of injustice. V. 8. "And the z Lord said unto Satan, Hast tb>x»u considered my servant Job. that there is none like him in, all the earth, a perfect and upright man, one that feareth God and escheweth evil." Job's piety was seen in his inner life which was stainless; in his outer life he was righteous and exemplary. The secret of Job's piety was two fold: he reverenced God and shunned evil. Job was God’s model man. Since Satan tempts man, God let him tempt Job. Vs. 7. 8. "So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and Smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown, And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal, and he sat down among the ashes.” This disease was the most irritating and loathesoine any one could suffer. Satan bad one hh best; Job had had many other affiletions but this one was the climax. Satan now left him. for there was nothing more be could do. V. 9. "Then his wife said unto him. Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God and die.” Here was Job’s hardest temptation, namely, that of his wife asking him to give up and die and not only give up his faith but to curse God. V. 10. "But he said unto her. Thon spiakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive God at the hand of God. and shall we not receive evil? In al) this did not Job sin with bls lips." Adversity as well as prosperity are to be expected in this life, but God is always good in the shadow as well as In the sunshine.

Our Goodness not guided by Intelligence is almost as dangerous as intelligence not guided by goodness. Ignorance Is the cause of much suffering and confusion. It Is easier to act yourself Into right thinking than it is to think yourself into right acting. But right thinking is necessary for moral responce. if thinking goes wrong, then life goes wrong with it. 0 Real joy comes not from ease or riches or from the praise of men, but from doing something worth while.—Grenfell. 0 Trade la a Ce»d Tw<va «<• Veeatar

Job maintained his integrity. V. 7. "Behold. I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard; I cried aloud but there Is no judgment." Job now falters just a little, questioning God's goodness and tb> soundness of his judgments. 21ie best men sometimes wav'/ because they are human. V. 8. "He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkneps in my paths.” Job fait his pondition was helpless; no explanation is a fence in any one'p way. V./di "He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown fpom my head." Job had lost his financial and social standing. How could he or would he take it? V. 10. "He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone; and mine hope bath removed like a tree." Here is a note of despair. But there is still In Job a faith that will not let him go as Is seen later. V. 1. "Then Job answered the Lord.” This follows God's revelation of his mighty works, of which Job Is Ignorant, as taught in last Sunday’s lesson. V. 2. “I know that thou canst do every thing and no thought can be wlthholden from thee.” Job now rises in his faith in God whom he now declares omlnoptent and omniscient. V. 3. "Who Is he that hldeth counsel without knowledge? therefore have 1 uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me which I knew not.” Job had no Bible from which to quote so he quoted the words of the Lord spoken to him in chapter 38 verse 2. Ope is on sure ground when rearing fully on GodJ» word; note Job’s confession of Ignorance. Vs. 4, 5. "Hear. I beseech thee, and I will speak; I will demand of thee and declare thou unto me. 1 have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye seeth thee.” Job’s previous knowledge of God was by hearsay but now he has heard God. The Inner voice was confirmed by a revelation of God. and experience each man can have. V. 11. "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 very pitiful, and of tender mercy." Job had been steadfast in spite of his afflictions. God had a purpose in Job's affliction and in reality he was compassionate.

! Book Review It So Happened, by Muriel Lester. Is a spiritual autobiography in which the author recounts her experiences and thoughts as she visits the leaders and the plain people In country after country across the world during the war years. She does not Ignore tragedy and evil, but touches all she sees with quiet humor and Christian love. She is an Ambassador of world peace. 0 Clerious Soys: Clericus says: "To charge great sufferings to great sins is contrary to all experience and charity. The truth which should dispel every perplexing thought about the seemingly disordered present state ot things Is that there I* a judgment soon coming in which all things shall be put right. The ungodly shall be eternally puniehed and the righteous shall be ever lastingly rewarded, their previous suffering enhancing their inconceivable blessedness."

here receive strength for life's duties. o —- I Church I Ibruiw What besides tithing is considered essential In Christian Stewardship? Besides being stewards of our material possessions we are stewards of our time, our talents, of our Influence and the Gospel, of our Christlsn experience and conviction. Christian stewardship should cover all of life. We think and act in terms of wholes. To do any thing loss is fatal. A Christian steward thinks in terms of hl* responsibility to God; this responsibility drives one to face bl* innermost self, exploring the conditions of his mind and heart. All this causes one to draw on God for spiritual resources and makes one conscious that he is a colaborer with God, God's partner. This conviction causes one to do every thing In His name, and tor His sake. 0

Grace Noll Crowell saya: The cry of mankind today l» "Progress!" Plans for the future are dazzling in their concept, but If the religion of Jesus Christ is left out of those plans, our nation will surely go the way of all godless lands. Paradoxically there is only one way to progress, an< that is by going back; back to the teachings humnody. Walter Llppmann said recently that If we allow our world to break up now Into two or three worlds then we will enter an age of decay, dissolution, despair and defeat. But on the other hand, said Mr. Llppmann. If we enter Into an enthusiastic undertaking to unite all mankind then we can be at the beginning of an age of creation and we can be present at the birth of a new world. Protestant and Catholic congregation* are using alternately the church of Ft. Catharine In Uiebeck. Germany, an ancient structure which had not been used for 150 years, until It was reopened recently to provide places for bomhed-out worshipers to gsther.
