puch And in all the Hard were no women
found so fair as%the daughters Of Job;
ance afiong their brethren. After
this lived Job hundred and forty years,
and saw his sons, and his sons sons.
even four generations. So job died, be-
ing old and full of days"
Now, ny badly married friend
of either sex, If Job could
stand it by the help of God,
then you can stand it by the same divine
reinforcement. You have other relf-
lions. 0 woman, beside the wifely rels-
ton. Ifyou are mother, train up your
children for God and heaven. II you are
q member of church, help move on it's
enterprises. You can get SO much OF the
grace of God in your heart that all your
home trials will seem insignificant. How |
little difference does it make WHIST your !
unrighteous husband calls you: i God |
calls you his child and yOu are On heir
ess to whole kingdoms beyond the sky?
Immerse yourself in some kind of out |
side usefulness, something that will en- |
list your prayers, your sympathies, your
hand, your needle, your voice. Get your
heart on fire with love TO God and the i
disenthrsllment Of
THE HUMAN RACE,
and the troubles of your home will be
blotted out in the glory Of your conse-
Grated life. I cry out to you, o woman,
as Paul exclsims in his letter to the
Corinthians: "What knoWest thou, o
wife, whether thou shalt save thy hus-
bane?n And if you cannot save him you
can help in the grander, mighter enter
prise of helping save the world. Out OF
the awful mistake Of your marriage rise
into the sublimest life Of self-sscrifce
for God and suffering humanity. Instead
of settling down to nope ever your
domestic woes, enlist your energies Tor
the worlds redemption.
Some parts Of Holland keep out the
ocean only by dykes or walls Ct stout
masonry. The engineer having these
dykes in charge was soon to be msrrled
to mIiden living in one
of which depended on the strength
of these dykes. And there was to be 8
great feast in one of the villages that ap-
preaching evening in homer of the coming
bridegroom. That day great storm
threatened the destruction OF the dykes
and hence the destruction Of thousands
of lives in the villages sheltered by that
stone wall. The ocesn was in full wrath.
beating against the dykes and the tides
and the terror were still rising. "SAall l

shall | go and help my 1orkmen take
care of the dykes?" "Tske care of the
dykes" he said to himself, 81 must and
will" As he appeared on the wall the
men working there were exhausted and
shouted: "Here comes the engineer
Thank God! Thank Cod" The wall
was giving way, stone by stone, and the
engineer had rope fastened around his
BODY and some Of the workmen had ropes
fastened around their bodies and were
let down amid the wild surges that beat
the wall. Everything was giving way.
"More stonesl" cried the men. "More
mortar" But the answer came: There
