but save his life" Satan is given
permission to do his utmost in test
ing Job SO long as he does not kill
him. God sets a limit beyond
which Satan dares not go.
V. 7. $50 went Satan forth from
the presence Of the Lord, and smote
Job with sore boils from the sole of
his foot unto his crown" Here was
a very annoying and painful illness,
disgusting in nature which might
cause the mind to become disgusted
and cause a change of attitude to-
ward God.
V. 8. "And he took him a pot
sherd to scrape himself withal; and
he sat down among the ashes" The
itching was SO great that scratch
ing with the fingers would not give
relief so he resorted to a broken
piece of pottery. Imagine a man
raw all over his body driven to
mourning as indicated by his sitting
in ashes.
V. 8. ''Then said his wife unto
him, Dost thou still retain thine in
tegrity? Curse God and die. :"
Satan's temptation was reinforced
by Jobs wife with the advice to go
back on God. Satan sometimes uses
Or best friends to trip us.
V. 10. "But he said unto her,
Thou speakest as one of the foolish
women speaketh. What? Shall we
receive good at the hand Of God,
and shall we not receive evil? In
all this did not Job sin with his
lips" Job accepts both prosperity
and affliction as divine means OF
stimulating the better life and
therefore he willingly submits him
self to the will of God. So often the
most beautiful saints have known
the most bitter suffering-they have
learned to wait on God with a com
pletely surrendered life.
VS.. lib. "Now when Jobs
three friends, Eliphaz, Bildad, and
Shuhite heard all this evil was come
upon him, they came every one from
his place, to mourn with him and to
comfort him; and when they lifted
up their eyes afar off, and knew him
not, they lifted up their voice and
wept; and they rent every one his
mantle. So they sat down with him
on the ground seven days and seven
nights and none spake a word to
him; for they saw that his grief was
great" At first there was evident
ly fine spirit of sympathy and fell
lowship. When afflicted and in
sorrow tears and sympathy Of dear
friends gives strength and comfort.
But just how sincere the friends are
makes a big difference We need to
study further how these friends act
ed later.

THE HISTORY OF WRIT
ING "AMER[CA"

On Independence Day, 1892, the
hymn was sung for the first time
The occasion was a children's cele-
bration in Park Street church. Bos-
ton. From it's first appearance,
over one hundred years ago, it sang
its way straight to the hearts OF
the American people It's author was
the Reverend Samuel F. Smith, a
Baptist clergyman, who but three
years previously had been graduated
from Harvard college, member of
the famous class of 1929, of which
Oliver Wendell Holmes was also a
member Mr.. Smith in his later
years wrote many hymns, several
story books for boys, was editor of
numerous religious magazines and
was a professor in the institution
which later became Colby college.
However, if it were not for the fact
that he gave us our popular hymn,

name would long ago have been for

others who have entertained and
instructed merely their own genera

family dinner was served and the
get-together was very much en-
joyed. While the time was the
birthday of the twins of Cecil Mo-
rim, it was planned just as a family
reunion, at the time when Harry d.
NORM had his vacation.

their course. Whatever he favored

prepare against the totalitarian adx
vance, they cried that he was drag
ging us into war. When he asked
neutrality act repeal to aid he
allies, they opposed They mode
themselves responsible largely ror
those defects in our defense against
which they now declaim.
Came Wendell Willkie talking a
language new to Republican politics.
Instead of damning as Hoover does
the essential measures of the New
Deal, he proposed only to make
them work. Instead of dickering
for bloc support in the old tariff
way, he approved unstintedly the
enlightened policy of reciprocal
trade. Instead Of sabotaging out Of
political spite the national defense
he approved the foreign policies of
the government. Against the timid
isolationasts he put a courageous
support of freedom at freedoms
frontier.
1t was all exceptional, unconven-
tional, violating the rules of the po-
litical game. Well, the country lik-
ed it. 1t worked. Some strange
surge from the bottom has lifted
Wendell Willkie to the top.
Willkie wins the nomination by
rising above the rules of the politics
game. His real test is yet to come.
If that was merely play-acting
Willkie the country can know it by
what comes next.
Willkie is nominated for presi-
dent on a platform framed by the
"stop Willkie" crowd The clause in
the platform, following Herbert
Hoover's speech, denounced the
trade pacts which Willkie, the can
didate, approved. Willkie, before
his nomination, stood for an up
standing foreign policy based on de-
fiance to the totalitarians and all
himself now enmeshed in plat
form which the hard-headed Ray
mond Clapper describes as a "weazeI
phrase" calculated to attract to the
party the support of disgruntled ele-
ments anxious for England to lose.
The Republican New York Herald
Tribune, forseeing in this platform
trucking an assurance of party de-
ceit, sees but one escape. That was
"fo nominate for the presidency a
candidate whose capacity for
thought and speech will speedily
relegate the platform to the back
ground, who can translate it's wordy
confusion into bold and vigorous
declaration of up-to-date Republican
faith"
Is Wendell Willkie to prove him
self that candidate? He will be a
breath of fresh air on fetid field
if he does.-Springfeld Daily News.

LEAGUE AND LOGIC OF EVENTS

A Republican of penetrating
mind, who opposed the entry of the
United States into the League of
Nations 20 years ago, has confessed,
as the menace of the European sit
uation to this country has become
increasingly apparent, that he was
wrong. With the advantage of part
of each year spent in England and
on the continent, his observation
has led him to believe that, with the
United States in the League, the
present situation would not have
been possible.
How many others are there, who
opposed the League in 1919 and
1920, who are now coming reluc-
family to the same conclusion? Sen
ator Borah; Henry Cabot Lodge, the
elder; Brandegree of Connecticut;
Col. Harvey, and all the others who
were most prominent in the fight
against the League, are dead, with
the exception Of Senator Hiram
Johnson Of California. Secretary
ickes has shown the way to the re-
nunciation of former views by his
confession that he and those who
case 80 years ago were wrong. Does
Hiram Johnson. in the wakefulness
of the night, sometimes feel the
same way in regard to the League
OF Nations?
Many students have insisted, ever
since Woodrow Wilson died in 1924,
that the time has not come when his
place in history can be appraised.
Many of them have argued that his
standing would be determined by
what happened to the League OF
Nations, meaning that, if the
League proved a failure, his place
in history would be smaller.
Must that judgment, like so many
others, now be agreed to have been
confounded by events? The League
as it was left, after rejection by the
United States, has proved made
quate in what is perhaps history's
greatest tragedy. According to the
logic of the former argument, that
would relegate Wilson to lower
place. But, as the proportions OF
the tragedy grow and it comes near
er these shores, will it prove, to an
increasing number of minds, that he
was right? That would be both a
vindication of Wilson and one of
the bitterest ironies Of history

Job Tempted to Doubt Gods Good
ness, Job. 2:1-13, for Sunday, July
7:
The one universal question "Why
must good men often suffer-" is
considered in the book of Job. In
it is shown that suffering may not
be the result of sin though some
times it is.
l. "Again there was a day when
themselves before the Lord and Sa-
tan also came among them to pre-
sent himself before the Lord" Here
is pictured conference with God in
to which Satan stole his way. It IS
significant that the evil one dares
to enter sacred places and to plan
the ruin of the best men.
v. 2. "And the Lord said unto
Satan, From whence comest thou?
And Satan answered the Lord, and
said, From going to and fro from
the earth, and from walking up and
down in it." God asked the question
to show the boldness of Satan that
must not go unheeded. His answer
shows that he is found everywhere,
seeking whom he may devour.
V. g. 'And the Lord said unto
Satan. Hast thou considered my SER
want Job, that there is none like
him in the earth, perfect and up
right man, one that feareth God,
and escheweth evil? and still he
holdeth fast his integrity, although
thou movedest me against him, to
destroy him without cause" The
positive side Of Job, the perfect
man, was that he feared God which
included his whole attitude to rever
ence, worship and service; the mega
tive side was his turning away from
evil which bespeaks his attitude to-
ward everything that was unworthy,
sinful or that would displease God
In the first chapter is recorded
Satans afflicting Job without effect
ing a change in his loyalty to God;
but he will not give up his tempta-
tions.
VS.. 4, 5. "And Satan answered
the Lord, and said, Skin for skin.
yea, all that man hath will he
give for his life. Put forth thine
hand now and touch his home and
his flesh, and he will curse thee to
thy face It is in physical suffer-
ing that good man may be in
fluenced to question Gods good
ness in allowing such pain. Jesus
answered this question concerning
the man born blind, "That the
works of God might be made mani
fest in him.
V. s. "And the Lord said unto
Satan, Behold he is in thine hand:

WILLKIE

Only once before in American po-
litical history has there been a ma
tional convention upset to compare
with the nomination of Wendell
Wilkie. In 1896 little known
young man from Nebraska swept
the Democratic convention with a
speech and the long domination of
the Democratic party by William }.
Bryan began.
Such sudden, sweeping tides, it
had been supposed, were possible
only among the temperamental
Democrats The better organized,
more realistic REPUBLICANS were i'm
mune to such events. Eight years
out in the cold has done something
to the Republican party of Mark
Hanna. Calvin Coolidge and Herbert
Hoover. This convention was out Of
bounds, out of hand. 1t records
the fact with the nomination for
president of a man without a party
record-Willkie recorded himself a
ton of Who's Who-and without
party organization support. He
lacked the wedding garment" The
party bosses, such as were left, op-
posed him. Backed by none of the
forces usually essential to success
in a national Republican conven-
ton, Willkie swept the field.
How and why it happened is no
mystery at all. The foundation of
it all was the decadence of the Re-
publican leadership, the poor quail
ity of it's conventional candidates
and a rising disgust in America with
the low form of opportunism which
gets tagged as "pOlitics." The Re-
publicans in congress have been let
ting the Democratic leader control

Coal Run empties into the Mus
kingum below Beverly. The name
came from layer of coal in the riv-
er at the mouth of the creek. A
coal deposit two feet in thickness
extended entirely across the river
and for mile or two up and down.
Before the construction of the
locks and dams hundred years
ago, diggers anchored their boats
in midstream at the mouth of the
creek and pried up large masses of
coal. They broke them into smaller
pieces and loaded them into the
boats.
The coal thus obtained was worth
three cents bushel on the spot in
1887, or five cents a bushel deliver
ed. Slackwater improvement made
the water too deep in the river for
securing coal from boats.-Norris
F. Schneider, in GAINESVILLE News.
