Job himself and three of his breth-

Job and to rebuke the three com

the whirlwind is heard addressing
the wretched Job.
The two portrait-like Narrators
appear again-one on each side of
the stage-and relate the later his

Dear Sir:
In your paper dated May %, an
editorial appeared which stated IN
substance you would leave the mat
ter of continuing the printing of
the Scriptures by books until the
readers of the Gazette had express
Sed their opinions concerning same
whether favorably or unfavorably
inclined. AS the verses still appear
on the front page it is assumed
the printing of the Gospel of Mark
may not yet be a certainty.
There are days when the Scrip
lures are being placed before the
public in most unusual ways, that
all may be without excuse" No
one enters the Kingdom Of God
without first knowing and believ-
ing with the heart Gods Holy word.
The printing of the Gospel of Mat
thew undoubtedly brought blessing
to many, and the repetition of a
similar work in printing the Gospel
of Mark would result in similar
benefit. Even though there may not
be an overwhelming majority of
encoursgements, / trust you will
decide to continue the good work Of
printing the whole New Testament.
Very cordially yours,
