 Job-Wonders of Nature.
 It is to the patient and philosophizing Job the compilers turned to instruct the youth of Chicago in ''The Wonders of Nature, '' and these are some of the strange things set forth:
 Behold, God is great, and we know him not.
 Neither can the number of his years ba searched out
 For he makoth small the drops of water;
 They pour down rainAccording to the vapor thereof:
 Which the clouds do drop
 And distill upon man abundantly.
 God thundercth marvelously with his voice;
 Great things doeth he, which We cannot com prehend.
 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth;
 Likewise to the small rain.
 And to tho great rain of his strength.
 He sealeth up the hand of every man;
 That all men may know his work.
 Personal Responsibility.
 Tho eighteenth chapter of Ezekiel is in part used to illustrate Personal Re sponsibility. A portion of the quoted verses reads:
 When tho son hath done that which Is law 1 fnl and right, and hath kept all my statutes, and hath done tAem he shall surely live. The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear tho iniquity of the son. The righteousness of tho righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness Of the wicked shall be upon him.
 But when the righteous turneth away from his righteousness and eommitteth iniquity, and doeth according to all the abominations that the wicked man doeth, shall he live2 All his righteousness that he hath done shall not be mentioned. In his trespas5 that he hath trespassed, and ill his sin that he has sinned in them shall he die.

 Twenty one verses of the thirty first chapter of Proverbs are used to describe s'The Ideal Woman. They are here re- produced:
 Who can find q virtuous woman? l For her price is far above rubies. Tho heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, So that he shall have need of spoil. 1 She will do him good and not evil 1 All the days Of her life, 1 She seelxeth wool and flax, And worlketh willingly with her hands, She is like She merchants ships; 1 She bringeth her food from afar. She riseth also while yet it is night, And giveth meat to her household, 1 And a portion to her maidens. She considereth field and buyeth it; With the fruit of her hands she planteth vine
 yard.
 She girdeth her loina with strength, And strengtheneth her arms ] She perceiveth that her merchandise is good; Her candle goeth not out by night. She layeth her hands to the spindle, And her hands hold the distaff | She stretcheth out her hand to tho poor; Yea, she reacheth forth her hands to the
 needy.
 She is not afraid of tho snow for her house. hold;
 For all her household arc clothed with scarlet She maketh herself coverings of tapestry; Her clothing is silk and purple. l Her husband is known in the gates, When he sitteth among tho elders of the land She maketh fine linen and seleth it, | II, II.s, Strength and honor are her clothing, And she shall rejoice in time to come. She openeth her mouth with wisdom, | And in her tongue is the law of kindness She looketh we'll to the ways of her household And eateth no, the bread of idleness. Her children arise up and call her blessed; Her husband also, and he praiseth her. l Many daughters have dono virtuously But thou excellest them all Favor is deceitful and beauty is vain; But woman that feareth the Lord she shall be praised.
