of carpenter myself, and have some
idea of the job ah. But to hammer,
and saw, and maui, and split away on
that one thing a hundred and twenty
year ah, an loolSia' for his pay in
another world ah-I tell ye, my
bretherin, if the Lord had sot Job at
that, it's my opinion be would tuck
his wifes advice inside Of fifty year
ah. Besides, no doubt, his righteous
soul was vexed, every day, hand run
min, with. the filthy communications
of the blasphemious set that was al
ways loaferin and saunterin
around Ah, pickin' up his tools and
a misplacin' EN-, and callin' him an
cid fool or somethin worse ah; and, to
clap the climax, he was q preacher,
and had that ungodly gineration on
his hands every Sunday ah. But the
Lord stood by him and seed him
through the job all; and when every
thing was ready he didn't send Noer
out to scrimmage an scour and hunt
all over the wild wcrld for to git up
the critters and varnouts that he wan
ted saved ah. They all come to his
hand their own accord, and Noer only
had to head EN- in and fix EN- around
in their places all. Then lie gethered
up his own family, and the Lord shut
hlm in, and the heavens OF the win
elows was open ah.
But my brethcrin, Nocr all, hal
use for patience ftcr this ah. Think
what time he must a had feedin
and waterin' and a cleanin ont al-
ter sich crcwa all. Some of en-,
according to Goldsmith's Animated
Mater ah, was carnivorions, and wan
ted fresh meat ah; and some was her
biyorious, and wanted vegetable food
ah and some wis wornivorieus, and
swallowed live things whole all; and
he had te feed everything accordn to
his mater. Hence, we view, nay breth-
erin all, as the mater Of the ANIMALS
was mt altered by yoin' into the ark
ah, some OF en- would roar, and howle,
ard bark, and bray, ard squcal, snd
blat the whole indur!n Night all, 4
drivin sleep from bis eyes and slnm-
ter from his eve cts ak; and at the
first streak o daylight the last hoof Of
EN- would set up ~ noise acccrdir 10
his mater ah, and the balls Of Bashan
wer Mt no whar all. I've o!,ten Won
derel how their women stood it,
Scri ptc: is silent on this pint al; but
| think | know Of some that woull
been yaroyy and nervous under sich
circumstances ah, and in an unguard-
ed moment lnisht . said sometbIn be-
sides their prayers ah.
My bretherln, one moro word Tor
cid Nner ali and will draw to a close
eh, After the outbeatin time he had,
first and last, for 50 many hundred
year ah, if he did, by accident or 9TH
erwisc take leetle too much wlae or
cne accession ali, | thlnk less crt to P
been said about it all. Besides, |
think he was entitled to enc spree ah,
as he made the wine hin.self, and, &C
cordin to Scripter it makes glad the
heat Q maa ah.
"My bretherin, as il was in the days
of Noer ah, 50 shall the coming Of the
Son OF Man be ah The world will
never be drowned agn ah. 1t will be
sot fire, and burnt up, root and
branch, with fervient heat all. Oh !!
what will wretchel, onlone sinners do
on that orful day &h? They wort
feel fit for to live, nor fer to die ah
They will he put to their wits end,
ard knock and straddle around in er-
cry direction ah. For all Ut opct, nay
bretherin ali, they will behold the
heavens g darkenin' ah, the seas a
rcsria adj, the tolnhs 2 bastia ah, the
mountains a meltin' ah, and every
thing, think, will be in a confused
and unsettled state,
