Discuseion questions on the Sun* day school lesson. Job’s Straggle th Vnderttawd Life, for Sunday, October 8. 1. What are the qualities of Character that enable one to live like Job? 1 How shall we treat those who suffer in order to really help - ----- them? & 3. What are the eaMM et suffsriat? 5. How may we have victory in suffering? CLERICUS SAYS: Clerks# Myfl: "Mu, a*r, Mgarded suffering as a direct mark of God’s disfavor, but thia is not so. Sufferings must have a purpose which we do not understand, as in the case es Job. If patiently on*, dured, they may enrich character. Aftd they point to * life beyond the grave/as the New Testament clearly teaches that justice is fully meted out in the end.” Lesson Prayer: Lesson prayer: We would be better seekers after thee, O God, because so often we call not understand the why of Suffering. Grant us strong faith that in our hardeM triMs we tuny confidently believe that God cares and understands. We are grateful tot the unfolding ' 6t GOd’S reyeUtMDM which come to us many times by sufferings.

I breamed ml I On Creamed comments on the Sunday school lesson, Job's Struggle to Understand Life, Chapters 1, 2, 19 and 23, fer Sunday, October 3. The subject of suffering Is old and continaM to boa problem. Some suggestions ve found in the study of the poem. Job. Outstand- ’ ing thought Is that God cares and in due time the righteous will be rewarded beeduse of their steadfast faith. V.l. ‘ There was a man in the, land of US, whoso name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and eschewed evil? h takes the many incidents related in this book to explain this verse. There Was the loss of fits property and children, the discouragement from friends who wanted to prove him a wicked man on the grounds that afflictions are a proof of sin, and there was the silence of God. in all these experiences Job eould not find the answer to suffering, but ho hover gave up faith in God. Ch. 19:7. “Behold, I ery out of wrong, but I am not heafd; 1 cry aloud but there is no judgment.” Id this verse, Job seems bewildered, for hie afflictions were almost unbearable; hie best friend* would make him out a sinner and he could hot understand the silence ot God. Job Wai a man of prayer seeking to know God’s revealed wiH for bin. ~— V.B. “He hath fenced up my way that I can not pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths." This is a poetical expression in which he expressed a condition of hopelessness, but he would not surrender his hope. V. 9. “He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.” The glory he enjoyed in the days of his prosperity was gone and his recognised dignity and honor was no more. God permitted Satan to test Job’s uprightness — »d suffering is a testing time, ?r ’H • 4 * V.lO. “And he hath destroyed me on every side and I am gone; and my hope hath removed like a tree.” Job sees his desperation such as to uproot his life like an uprooted tree which will fall as a 1 result. Death is inevitable but that ' does not prove a man Ch. 13:3. “O that I might know where to flhd him! That I might

Pathways to Human Progress Ffancis B. Sayres eays: “Belief in the liltimatis supremacy of material force must be supplantedby a faith in the tranecedence of mofal and spiritual values. America wgs founded by a group of men who believed in the overruling God. it is heartening beyond words that free people throughout the world today ere coming to realise that these profound Conoepte • first, international brotherhood; second, human irtedom and third, the transcenndehce of tile moral and spiritual over the only pathway to unman pt ogress, and Indeed, in till* age of toe atomic bomb, to the avoidance ot present and appalling disaster, in this direction, and in this direction alone, lies the hope of mankind."

eveh come to his eeat!” Job’S sense of justice was Strong and hit confidence in God’s justice was likewise strong. He knew that if he had access to God, the wrongs would be righted. “A little. talk with Jesus makes right all right.” Job had faith that there would be a just reward. We need confidence that all wickedness will be finally overruled and all faithfulness will be finally recognized. V. 4. “I would order my course before him, and fill my mouth with arguments," Jeb contends that the false charges by his fairweather friends would be exposed if only he could have God's full revelation. Job could not understand, but he knew God did. Much of life can net be explained, but God keeps revealing mere to us. Standards of living are determined by the extent of God'i rerolMion. V. 5. “1 would blew tb« Words which he would answer me and Understand what he.would say to me.” While life is a mystery, there dre seme things that dre evident. God is good and God cares art established truths. So, if we are in God’S hands, what does suffering arid false charges matter? V.l, “Will he plead against mo with his great pnWSrt No; but he Would put strength iiito me.” Job is in a reverent mood. It matters not so much what happens to one as to how he takes it.

V.7. “There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered by my judge.” JOb continues in his unalterable faith in God as a God of justice and forever he would be regarded true. V.B. “Behold, 1 go forward, but he Is not there; and backward, but 1 can not perceive him.” Job keeps seeking God though seeking seems to be vain) but in seeking God, there is strength of character. The same thought is expressed in the following verae. v. 19. “But he knoweth the way that I take; when he hath tried me, 1 shall come forth as goty.” Job claims a Victory over sin, the devil and all his enemies. He knows not by reason, but by an inner consciousness, that the God whom he honors in all his lite will make it Clear that he has maintained the life as indicated intbe first verse of this lesson. Like Pcul t he’eouM sag, "I know whom 1 have believed and am persuaded ho will keep that which I have comrnitteed unto him against that day.” —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ iff the C.8.A., and used by permission.
