RocKEFELLER AND JOB.

job in his day was the richest man
of mis- region-'-the greatest of all the
men of the east" the scripture speci-
foally says.
JOB had 1900 sheep and 5000 camels
ana SEQ yoke of oxen and 5nn she asses -
The oxen were more like modern
Turkish tame buffaloes than American
oxen.
These cattle were small grade ami
mails. not blooded stock according to
modern ideas. Reckoning them at
their present value in the east they
were worth altogether from 1000 to
So. 900. Something must be added for
tents and clothing and household scar.
but nothing for land, as this Was not
held in severalty.
The richest man in the east-that is
TO say. in the world-could moi have
been worth over $780, coo.
But all authorities agree that the
purchasing value of the precious met
ais was much greater in ancient than
in modern times. Even 20) years ago
a penny would buy in England as much
as fourpence will now. 1t is possible
that the worlds richest man was not
worth more than $25,OG0 in gold at its
present value.

We should be especially thankful that
during the year now closing, in the
early dawn of a new century, our star
of national destiny is approaching the
zenith, it's hriIliancy untarnished by a
single blot of dishonor, and the holy
inspiration of our fathers is being real

enlightened, honest, and courageous
administration of national affairs; for
an expansive and liberal public policy

Gus victories of our army and navy in
relieving the oppressed and in promot-
ing higher civilization and better gov

wise to assume national responsibility.
We should render heartfelt thanks
for this season of unexampled CONNER

our Unreasonable natural wealth has
been remarkable. Our great mineral

uneXcelled on earth. Let US meet to-

homes and places of worship, and
with humble spirits and grateful hearts
render joyful praise to the Giver of all
