1t is not intended that we shall spend
this precious hour of our meeting In a
discussion of the date when the book of
Job was written, or exactly where the
land Of Uz was located. or who might
have been the author Of this wonderful
first great poem of the soul in Its mum
dane conflict as one writer calls it. We
are to talk over what the book is has
been, or may be TO us. Such studies
have their place. but we are to read our
names into the book and see II we, John
and Mary, James and Janet have a right
to the things contained in that book
Take the first chapter and look it over.
Would God likely call attention TO you as
being perfect and upright? Is your
life such that 1t is a constant glory to
God and an unanswerable argument for
those who sneer against doing right?
1t IS hard to study the book of Job and
not believe in a personal devil. and when
the sons OF God come together, even in
our little meetings. we will often find
that Satan comes also, in the form of
some scoffer who does not believe there
are any really consistent Christians and
thinks all men have their price. To such
will God will be likely to Say of you:
Hast thou considered my servant. Mary
that there are few Ike her NJ the earth
a perfect and an upright woman one that
feareth God and escheweth evil One
who attends all the services of the sane
tuary. who leadeth the missionary meet

teach or to minister In my church work."
Then listen when the scorner answers:

nothing? Doesn't she have the praise Of

was dispatched to bring the apostles from

had been greatly displeased because Peter
and John preached the resurrection of
Jesus Chap, iii:26), and they vainly at

prisonment and then by threatening. Now
that the offenders not only continued
their obnoxious teaching, but added to it
displays of miraculous power, thereby
gaining the hearts Of the people. the au-
thorities became Indignant. Cain slew his

DIR. Bruuer Nav Leave.

The impression that Rev. DIR. Weston
Bruner, pastor of the Fifth Baptist
Church, will accept the pastorate or the
First Baptist Church of San Antonio.
Tex, to which he was recently called
seems to be growing in local Baptist cl'-
cles. The fact that DR.. Bruner left The
city early this week to look over the field
prompted the belief among many of the
Baptists of the city that he Will accept
the call.
1t is we'll known that the members Of
the San Antonio Church have been watch
ing DR.. Burners work in this city. and
that they have been much pleased VIII
the progress he has made at the Fffth
Church. During the past week he mas
been In San Antonio comforting with the
officers of the church relative to the call
and investigating the field. which Is de
clared to be one of the most inviting IN

1t is expected that DR. Bruner Will re

and it Is expected he will announce his de-
cision in regard to the call shortly there
after.
