History Of Hob.

Among the strange things recorded in
the Old and New TcStnmcnts, look W
\ on the fable in which dob is the hero us
the most remarkable, and it is II fair
illustration Of the present day cnincidcn.
ccs that have come under the direct OBJ
srrvution Of your humble servant.
Judging that the same spirit Of pecun-
iry speculation (or gan,bl ng) existed
in ancient times among individuals that
docs at the present day, it is reasonable
to suppose that his Satanic Majesty made
bet in regard to jobs tirmuess. On
one occasion, when Satan had been walk
ng up and down the earth and wander
ing to and fro, he called in at hcnd1uar-
tcrs, at the office of the Lord. When the
question had been asked and answered
in regard to his journey, the Lord asked
satan il he had considered his servant
lob } Of there WAS any betting done,
here is where it would tc likely to take
vace) He answered in the affirmative.
and said, if you will kin his cattle he
will curse you to your face. The Lord
gave Satan perm issi"n to try his hand
upon Job, hut instructed him not to
kin him. Satan then set his thieves to
work on the stock, and turned whirl-
wind louse upon jobs children, and
finally devastated all that Job had, but
all to no avail.
Job was not weak kneed, like some
of the prescntday politicians he stuck
to his faith. Satan visited headquarters
again, and confessed his failure, and
added, ut you will visit job with bod
lily afiiition he will curse you to your
face" The Lord said unto Satan, 'Be-
hold he is in thy hands hut spare his
lite" Of the story is true, it was Il cruel
thing of the lortl) Satan went to work
in good earnest ; he wanted to win he
slapped case of continent small poX and
inhammatory Rheumatism q suppose) on
Job bath at once. He then took to his
assistance Mrs job and other individuals
for the purpose Of purSuading job to
curse the Lord, (hcrc is a second Ellen
case, where Satan is allowed to tamper
with the weaker sex for the purpose 0f
getting man into trouble.) but the trick
failed to work, and il there WAS any
wager at stake the Lord won it, and >ras
well pleased, which proves its,I upon
the very face OF the story. IL is stated
that the Lord took Job IN hand, rest0r-
cd hlm to health, aud give him more
property (or wealth. than he had at first.
The story ends welI.--JOb had the prct.
tiest daughters and the most property of
any man in that country, consequently
lie was popular with the young gentle
men.
1t is said that job lived one hundred
and forty years and died old and tull of
days. 1t is nowhere stated that Job
went to heaven when lie died. 1t was
not necessary he had heaven enough
After passing through literal hell he
was fully prepared to appreciate his
situation.

Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1876-09-28

Mass MEErIsc.-Our party author
tiles Of the State Central Committee
have arranged for series Of meetings
in the different counties and we notice
that Tuesday, the 3lst of October and
Leonardtown have been set down in
the bills as the place and time for the
mass gathering in st. Mary's. But the
3lst Of October is a long way of and,
though our candidate for Congress.
DIR. Henkle, is under engagements 20
visit US on the 18th and make addresses
at FIVE different points in the county.
still we think there is room for other
meetings and speakers before the day
fixed for the Dr.'s coming and between
his leaving US and the meeting on the
3lst. 1t is, in our judgment, both prac-
ticable and polite to organize a series
of meetings on our own hook. We
have plenty Of native speaking talent to
attract large gatherings in our county
and We have never yet called upon it
that it did not respond and with the hap
piest effect. OF this, the first Merrick
campaign is an illustration. Our people
want warming up on the presidential
issues. Let the different Tilden clubs
in the county take our suggestion into
consideration. We think they will re-
alize at a glance that much good will
result from its adoption.
