She was one of those women you

He began by chucking the things

The Book of Job.

This book carries the reader BACK oyer
the track of forty centuries. 1t is lit .
erary monument standing en- the from
.ier of that berder-land, beyond which
there is nothing but primeval tradition.
It introduces US to the Patriarchal civil
izetien, and we catch a glimpse of its
manners and customs, its social life and
sentiments. We and ir that ancient
civilization, laws, governments, magts-
trates, princes and mobiles, rich and poor
masters and servants, instruments of
agriculture and music, gold, silver, and
precious stones.
The naeIl referred to in the Book of
Job had distinct conception of One,
Supreme, Almighty Jehovala-spiriiual,
personal; never confounded with Ma
ture, butin solemn and simple grandeur
conceived to be its creator and preserver;
the august Father Of the spirits of all
flesh; the administrator of govern
ment which approves righteousness and
Furnishes sin. From the far-off mists of
antiquity there comes aa echo of tbs
primeval revelation of God, how unut-
terably superior to the paltry, licentious,
and wearisome gods of Homer. Here
is Divine knowledge transmitted from
the primitive cradle of the human race.
The dignity and the fall of humanity
are portrayed in this book. f'There is q
spirit in man, and the inspiration of the
Almighty giveth the understanding"
Such words invest man with great dig
nifty; yet this same soul of man is rep
resented as exposed to satanic hostility
capable of SHINING; struggling with
hopes and fears, while revolving the
awful problems of its destiny.
Though the Oldest composition among
the writings of the Old Testament, the
position of the Book Of Job is after the
Pentateuch and the Historical Books
This is because as Poem it is classed
with the Psalms in the general division
known as the Hagiographa; the other
two being the Law and Prophets. 1t
has attracted large amount of philo-
logical and critical research, and given
rise to treatises which would form, in
point of extent and erudition, repecta-
BILE library in themselves. By general
consent it is now regarded as genuine
Hebrew original, and unequalled in the
simple and severe grandeur of it's style.
In form it is Poem, with the exception
Of the Prologue and Epilogue, which
are in prose.

which Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob flour
ished. He may have been earlier than
Abraham certainly not later than ia
cob. The manners and cuztoms of the
time correspond to those of the Hebrew
patriarchs. Jobs religion was that of
piacular sacrifices, without any officia-
ting priest, as was enjoined in the sub
sequent Mosaic ritual. Job himself of
fers, as the head of the family, sacrifices
for children and friends, according to
Patriarchal custom. No alIusion is
made to the signal events of the early
Jewish annals; the bondage in Egypt, the
Exodus, the thunders of Sinai, the set

EXPLOITATION OF WIvES.-In the

adventures were principally unmarried
men, it was deemed necessary to export

epistle sent by Publius LentuIus to the
Roman Senate: '.There appeared in
these days man of great virtue, named
Jesus Christ, who is yet among us; of
the Gentiles accepted as for prophet OF
truth; but his disciples call him the Son
OF God. He raised the dead, and cureth

somewhat tall and comely, with very
reverend countenance, such as the be-
holder must both love and fear. His
hair the color of q chestnut full ripe.

without spot or wrinkle, beautiful with
lovely red; his mouth and nose SO
formed as nothing can be represented
his beard thick, in color like his hair,
not over long; his look innocent and
mature; his eyes gray, quick and clear.
In reproving, he is terrible; in admon-
