 From that time on MT Markham devoted himself entirely to liter ary work, but nothing he ever did was able to supplant the associa- tion of The Man With the Hoe" with his name. In his later years he was engaged much of the time in editing pcetical works, but lis writings also appeared at frequent intervals.
 In 1929 he was chosen as one Of the ten winners each of whom received $100, in a preliminary con- test fostered by Mrs. Ference Brcoks-Aten to select a new na- ional anthem to supplant The Star Spangled Banner"
 Born in West
 MT. Markham was born at Ore gon City, Ore, April 23, 1852. He was the youngest son of Samuel and Elizabeth Winchell Markham, who crossed the plains from Michi- gan shortly before his birth His ancestry on both sides was of the oldest colonial stock in Pennsylvan- ia and New England.
 Before Edwin was five years old his father died, the mother then taking her children to settle in California. There, while growing to manhood, the future literary light engaged in every phase of work necessary to the conduct of western cattle ranch. He helped in the farm work, herding cattle and at the blacksmith forge, mean while depending upon the country schools and his own ceaoelesS read- ing for education.
 Enters Normal
 When he was 19 MT. Markham had saved sufficient money to en- able him to enter the state nor nal school at San Jose, and later he pursued the classical course at Christian College, Santa Rosa. For several years thereafter he was en- gagged as superintendent and prin- cipal of schools in various places in California until the publication of the poem that brought him worldwide recognition.
 When fame came to him he re- moved to New York, living there several years until he was recalled to the Pacific Coast to become principal of the Tompkins ObSer- vation School at Oakland, an in- stitution connected with the Uni versity of California. Later, decid- ing to devote himself to literary pursuits, he returned east and had since resided at Westerleigh Park, Staten Island
 In 1897, MT Markham married Anna Catherine Murphy They had one son.
 School Day Incident
 An incident of his early country school days frequently was referred to by MT Markham as the turn ing point in his career. Samuel D. Woods, who later became prom inent lawyer and Representative in Congress, was engaged as a young man to teach a country school near San Francisco. One of the condi- stions upon which the permanency Bof the position depended was the

l3.-The words Of verse 10 mean
that God amply restored what Job
had lost. In addition Job gained
u purer and truer relationship to
God which meant his eternal sal
walton. He was vindicated, after
all, in a far greater way than he
could have hoped. In his vindica-
tion we can see our own, against
the charges o. Satan, the ravages
of suffering and death. Body.
soul and spirit, We shall be justi-
fled and glorified in Christ (Rom.
S;23-25; l Cor. l5;5l-5s; Rev. 2O;
4-6).
The work of our Lord Jesus
Christ on our behalf delivers us
from US from the power OF Satan
and from that state OF death which
he seems to control (Heb. 2;l4,
l5). In addition God adds riches
of grace which we may appreciate
through the power of the Holy
Spirit Il Cor. 2;9-l2). Add to
these the result to be wrought in
human experience and no one can
measure the result. "He that spar
ed not His own Son, how shall He
not freely with Him also give US
all things ?" (Rom. S;32).

sinners gave themselves over TO

Give Themselves Over to Sin, IS
%.
This woe is pronounced upon
those who are so thoroughly Civ
en- over to sin that they tug away
at it to see how much they can
draw ". ls). The use of wine
leads to this devotion to sin, In
their enthusiasm for sin they mock
at God and His word and say;
"let God hurry up with His judg-
ments and let Him hasten His
works that we may actually see 1t
and not merely hear about it. Let
the purposes of the Holy One OF
Israel Of which we have heard so
much, actually come to pass ".

Such moekery of Gods word and
Gods judgments is common
among drunkards.
The fourth woe is upon those
who "call evil good, and good
evil, that put darkness for light
and light for darkness" This dis
plays a determination in sin that's
well nigh hopeless Matt. 1924

the moral Judgment often results
from the persistent use of liquor.

in relation to God, for while he
had not failed to keep his trust
in Him, he had not been willing to
admit that Gods treatment Of him
was either wise or just. 1t was
not according to his idea that such
treatment should be accorded him
and consequently he, sinful crea-
ture, had dared to impute to God
motives that were neither wise nor
just. Are we not guilty of that in
our worldly affair? Our motives
are mixed. We are more inclined
to tell God the way to ask Him
what He wants of US. Then if
things do not turn out just as we
wish, we impute injustice and un-
wisdom to God for allowing them

common for us to compare our

what Job had been doing. In such

The fear Of the Lord is a term
signiiying u reverent respect ior
God. One who has it in MS life
purpose is in the way of possess
lag the wisdom Of God (Ps. 3i;ll
lll;l0; Ac. 9;3l). Fools manifest
their folly by irreverent attitudes
toward God and toward His crea-
lures. The spirit of true reverence
is love. lrreverent men are al
ways hard in their hearts and are
the kind that not only despise wis
dom and instruction but who also
entice the innocent to sinful ways
". l0) Reverence toward God will
lead us to revere parental wisdom
and guidance. These become as
ornaments of grace unto thy
head" o right attitude toward
God leads to right behavior in lie
and both bring to the believer a
strong and righteous character.

Golden Text The Lord turned
the captivity Of Job, when he
prayed for his friends. Job 1910
Lesson Text Job 42;1-13. print

~ Then Job answered the Lord
and said, (2) l know that thou
canst do every thing, and that no
thought can be withholden from
thee. (3) Who is he that hideth

Exposition i The Repentance
of Job 1-6-After speeches by Eli
hu Jehovah concludes all argu-
ments by addressing Job. His
words draw Job into His imme-
diate presence. Hitherto the dis
cussions have been about God, al
ways with the idea that He was
absent and would not speak for
Himself. In q manifestation Of His
power he comes face to face with
Job and his comforts. The Lord
then draws Jobs attention to all
the majesties and perfections in
the universe which reveal His pow
er and Godhead (Rom. 1;l9, 20).
Job Is humbled. The Lord had
spoken to reveal that the true at-
titude Of man is one Of reverent-
ial humility before Him (4l;34).
In the presence of the Holy One
Job is humbled and at last sees
himself as utterly unworthy to
enjoy the fellowship of Jehovah.
The confession OF Job Is COM
plete. In the first part of verse
2 he recognizes the omnipotencc
of God in His creation. In the

significance are evident, In the

Botunists to Revise Records
On Flora in District

A group of Washington botanists
representing Catholic University, the
National Herbarium, George Wash
ington University, the University of
Maryland and other institutions and
organizations in Washington and
vicinity are planning enlargement
and revision of publications on the
fora of the District to bring their
researches up to date.
The District has become so heavily
settled that the local fora has been
practically wiped out. Earlier pub
locations considered the area within
q 10 to Is mile radius Of the Cap
itol, but a survey now reveals the
disappearance of many indigenous
plants and the addition of only a
few weeds. It is probable future
activities will extend the area under
consideration to some degree.
The first publication, "The Florula
Columbiensis," was printed for the
Washington Botanical Society in
1919 and merely listed the local
plants. The first comprehensive
publication was the Flora Colum-
biana," by DR.. John A. Brereton, an
Army surgeon. and was published
by Jonathan Elliot and sold at his
store on Pennsylvania avenue In
1880. A copy Of this is In the Lang
