Creamed Comments on the Sunday School Lesson. ’‘The Testing of Faith,” Job 19:19-25, 42:1-6, for Sunday, August 2. The Book of Job teaches one great lesson—that human afflictions are not a proof of sin. Job had an ideal family—a wife, seven stas and three daughters. He was prosperous, well thought of as a man of integrity. Suddenly mifortune overtook him. His flocks and herds were stolen ch- destroyed, his servants killed, even all his children perished in a storm. In this leson we are given a glimpse of a deeply religious soul in the throes of the perennial problem of why men suffer. V. 19. "AU my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.” Losing his intimate friends seemed to be the last straw for Job. After the loss of his wealth, his children, being subjected to keen, physical suffering, he is confronted with the loss of trusted friends. V. 20. "My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.” Physically, Job was in a sadly wasted condition such as would indicate a narrow escape from death.

I ’ V. 21. “Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me." In ancient times disaster was considered a result of offending the gods; therefore persons formerly friendly to the victim were afraid to show their friendship lest they seem to be siding against the deity whose favor the victim had alienated. Instead of pity, his former friends brought tormenting accusations against Job. V. 22. “Why do ye persecute me , as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?” Job was presumably afflicted with elephantiases. He considered his afflictions came from the hand of God, but he expected some comfort from his friends. V. 23, 24. "Oh that my words were now written! oh that they 1 were printed in a book? . . . That they were graven wil|h an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!” Having been deserted by his friends, he could only wish that the declarations of his innocehce could be written down, so that future generations might judge him aright. He thought the verdict of history would be in his favor. V. 25. “For I know that my rei deemer liveth. and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth.” Out of he dephs of despair, Job rose to the heights in his assertion of his unconquerable faith in God. Bitter as his lot was, it was not enough to make him turn against God. Job had faith that even after his death his divine Vindicator would continue to live and he woukl see God, not as a stranger, but as a friend vindicating his integrity. i Vs. 1, 2. “Then Job answered the Lord, and said ... I know 1 that thou canst do everything, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.” Job came to appreciate the convincing evidences of the wisdom, power and love of God, and realized that righteous men must follow him, however much they suffer. V. 3. “Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.” Job had made some rash statements concerning God and his operations in the world, which he now regretted, but he had never renounced God. Only after Job had admitted his own shortcomings did he see God; and only after he bowed in humble submission to God’s wisdom and purpose did he conquer his doubts and pain. V. 4. "Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.” This verse repeats the words of ' Jehovah in chapter 38:3. V. 5. “I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.” Job’s previous knowledge of God had been such as one gets by hearsay. Since God had spoken to Job out of the whirlwind, his knowledge of God was more complete and he could trust his ways without fully understanding them. V. 6. “Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.” Job was repenting of his arrogance in questioning the way of the Infinite. —Based on copyrighted outlines produced by the Division of Christian Education, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A., and used by permission. I wit V Wisdom Our librarian one day wrote the following letter to a bookseller who had been troubling her: "I did not order the book. If I did, you didn't send it. If you sent it, I didn’t receive it. If I did. I paid for it. If I didn’t, I won't.”

Vital religion is needed in the space age more than ever before. A religion adequate for an age like ours must be of sterner and more sacrificial stuff than the worship of trivialities, the peace-of-mind tranquilizers, and the other pseudo-religions in which so many people today are indulging. In this space age man needs more than ever to be saved from greed, self-centeredness and concern with material things. As man’s field of knowledge widens, religion becomes more vital because it remains the core of true values and the chief asset in the preservation of our cultural surmeet on Monday evening at 6:30 p. m.
