WINDSOR TO LEAVE
ship AT BERMUDA
Duke And Duchess, Now
AT Sea, Apparently Will
Not Visit u. S.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-R-Th e
Duke and Duchess of Windsor, now
at sea en- route from Lisbon to the
Dukes new post as governor OF
the Bahamas, apparently will not
visit the United States, but will
leave the American export liner
Excalibur at Bermuda.
The United States maritime COM
mission reported it had given per-
mission for the Excalibur to stop
at Bermuda, British island colony,
405 miles out of her way. Tn
Excalibur had been scheduled to
steam direct from Lisbon to New
York, arriving Aug. 9. Officials of
the line here confirmed the stop
at Bermuda but declined further
information.
Diplomatic circles in Washington
heard that the Duke and his Ouch
ess, the former Wallis Warfield, OF
Baltimore, definitely would debark
at Bermuda, whence they would
go by sea or air direct to Nassau,
capital of the Bahamas.
The Excalibur, after waiting &c
minutes past sailing time to take
the Windsors aboard, left Lisbon
yesterday afternoon.
Accompanying the Windsors are
the Dukes aide de camp, Capt.
George Wood, Mrs. Wood, a de-
tective fletcher of Scotland yard,
and the Duchess two maids.
Other passengers include William
Phillips, U. S. Ambassador to
Rome, and his daughter; Anthony
j. Drexel Biddle, Jr., Ambassador
to Poland; George Gordon, min
lister to the Netherlands; and the
Capt. John A. Gade, U. S. naval
attache of the embassy at Brus-
sells. z

fishing or enjoy any other outdoor
pleasures we join a large family,

sites as safe drinking water, prop

so accustomed to these things that
we take it for granted we will find
them wherever we go.
"You will be surprised to find
out that special precautions are
taken by the State Department of

necessities are provided but that
they are adequately safeguarded.
Just use your eyes, when you
start out on your trip, and you can
tell whether the place you are
heading for, meets the Health De-

Poetry has in all ages been the
language Of the soul. Feelings be-
ycnd the reach of the choicest prose
seem to pour forth unhindered
through the poetic channel That is
one reason why Christian people find
such a response in their own souls
as they read the magnificent poetry
of the Bible For the next three
months we are to be privileged to
carry on a study Of the poets Of the
Bible. None Of US should miss a
single lesson.
The book Of Job deals with and
solves the fundamental problem,
What is the meaning of the suffer
ing Of the righteous?" Our first les
son presents Satan as the great ad-
versary and accuser of man, and
reveals that man may successfully
resist him by faith in God.
I. Satanic Accusation WV 1-5.
The lesson opens with a scene in
heaven, where the angelic beings
present themselves to give an ac-
count Of their activities. Satan, too,
is there s the adversary and accus-
er of men souls. He had already,
by Gods permission and as a test
of Jobs faith, destroyed al Of Jobs
property and taken from him his
family (see Job 1:I4-19), but he had
not destroyed Jobs trust in God
Q:2D.
Now Satan had a new charge;
namely, that Job could bear the loss
of his children and his riches, but if
God would permit his own body to
be afflicted, he would deny God. 1t
is the familiar refuge Of those who
would lie about the servants Of God
TO say. He is in it for what he gets
out Of H." Those who use that lie
do well to recognize the originator
of their calunny; they are working
with Satan when they thus hinder
the Lords work.
III. Spiritual Integrity CIV. 6-1O.
The trial Of Job was most severe,
for only his life was spared. His
affection was evidently not only that
of boils on his skin (Which would
have been bad enough, but a sys-
temic condition which made his
whole body sick and made him SO
repulsive as to be unfit to live with
other people (see Job tbs, IA, Is;
1873; 10: 1920.
Not only did he suffer physically
within an inch of his life, but he was
subjected to the mental and spiritual
torture of having the one who should
have stood by him-his wife-urge
him to renounce his faith in God and
die. Many who have borne excru-
ciating physical pain have broken
down under spiritual cruelty, but
Job still maintained his integrity.
Why God permitted him to suffer
he did not yet understand, but he
knew God and he was willing to take
from His hand evil as well as good

Father was in control. What tes-

His wife and neighbors had aban-
doned Job, and even the children of
the street despised him G9:18), but
he cid have three friends. Thank
God for friendship-not the fair
weather kind. but the type that
stands by in the hour of trouble.
These friends apparently came from
