Job never stopped for holidays. lie
licked off $50 days In the year for
God One reason why some people
find it 80 hard TO behave is because
they only work at II a few minutes
At . time, Some people are only re-

Honesty That Could Stand light.
JOB was an upright man. This
means that he had an honesty that
could stand the light Of heaven Some
men are so crooked they could hide
behind a corkscrew. I can't under
stand why some fellows refuse To be-
lieve the Bible when they gulp down
everything some horse jockey tells
them, or else fall for some bunko
game and buy a gold brick.
Job had a character that stood out
like a pyramid against the devils bus
ness. " y0u want TO find out what
a hard fight the devil can make, what
a rot fire he can wage, I've close
enough to God to punch holes In the
devils business. Youn begin 10 find

members dolft believe In fire and

Placed Children Above Comels.
Old job, instead of singing through
life as a bachelor. married and bull;

he put ten children. And Job was
more interested in his children. we
find, than he was in his camels. That's
