G. X. Chesterton's criticism of the
Book of Job in the current Putmans is
brilliantly audacious and calls atten-
ton TO the fact that Here in this Book
the question is really whether God
invariably Furnishes vice with ter
restrial punishment and rewards virtue
with terrestrial prosperity. II the Jews
had answered that question wrong they
might have lost all their after in
huence in human history. They might
even have sunk down to the level of
modern well educated society. For when
once people have begun to believe that
prosperity is the reward Of virtue their
next calamity is obvious. This
which has happened throughout modern
commerce and Journalism is the alter
nate Nemesis of the wicked optimism
of the comforters of Job. If the Jews
could be saved from it the Book of
Job saved them"

up against Kid Wolgast, who took an
awful beating from the coast lad, but
who was game enough to stick it out
and for that reason the referee gave
him a draw. Cove showed that he is
fast and can hit a good hard punch.
