The Skin of Nv Teeth"

1t may be interesting to note that
this expression, which by many is re-
earded as vulgar slang, has really the
high classical authority Of the Bible
1t is Job Q9:2U, who eXclaims in his
anguish, II am escaped with the skin
of my teeth"
Some common sayings. such Us God
tempereth the wind to the shorn
lamb Pouring Oil on the troubled
waters," ''The war horse scents the
battle from affair." are supposed to be
in the Bible, though not SO. But there
are not many who. in using the eX-
preston of hanging on or being saved
by the ''skin of their teeth,' know the
high authority for its use.

all the other players must go through
the operation of performing the labor
agreed upon. II from any one the

labor is then .he ]aborer must take
his place. He can have but one guess.

Odd Bequcst to Church.
The will of Stebbins B. Quick of

an estate of S15OOOO. contains an odd
feature. 1t is the bequest Of $1,000 to

ence.
The argument of Bishop Greer (P.
Ed OF New York is that because of
the war the Christian church is fac
ing critical situation and that it must
arouse and prepare itself to meet it
or acknowledge failure He saws in
part:
That the church today is facing
critical situation both in its own his.
tory and in the history of the world is
so obviously true that if we have eyes
we cannot fail to see 1t. But have we
the faith and courage to meet it? That
is the question which, with great prac.
tical urgency, is coming directly home
to us.
"A conventional acceptance of the
Christian faith or formal acquies.
cence in it is not enough. We must
put 1t to work not only in our personal
and parochial lives, but in the life of
the world. For that is what the Chris
tian faith claims to be; not tribal, ra-
cial or even national but a faith for
for all humankind. and the
to receive it.
THE world is learning now from ex.
perlence that it cannot get on without
it. But are we ready to give it? Are
we ready to make sacrifice for it? That
is what soldiers in Europe are doing
for their countries. And we Christians
call ourselves soldiers Of Christ. II
We are, let us show and prove it. But
If we are not. then let us quit saying
and singing it. Let us at least be
real. Then it will appear. not as some
persons are saying. that the Christian
faith has failed today in the world, but
that we have failed to put it to work
in the world"
