Suffering Is Test

THERE is, however, one solution
4 which comes out in the course
of the drama. 1t is not theoretical
solution; that is, 1t does not alto
gether answer the question, WHY
must men suffer? 1t does tell us
WHAT we can do about it.
Suffering Is a test: A test OF
mans faith and real goodness.
"When he hath tried me, shall
come forth as gold" Job says.
(23:10.) The test Of a ship is
not the quiet waters of the har-
Dor but the roaring open sea;
the test of a man Is not comfort
but stress and pain.
To have faith in God only when
we are well-fed and softly cushioned
Is not faith at its best. Faith and
goodness prove their reality only
when they hold together even when
torn by the nails Of cross.

Was Job Real?

nOTT ask: Was Job a real char.
~ acter, or a made-up one like
Hamlet and Macbeth? II Is very
likely there was once upon q time
some man by that name who sui
fered In that way. and that he had
friends, not too sympathetic, who
talked II over with him.
As Hamlet and Macbeth were his
torical characters, whom Shakes
peare used with high art to express
profound ideas, 80 the author of
Job may well have used the trials
of some man he knew, or knew Of.
to express truths about a problem
as profound and widespread as the
human race.
For Job most surely is real:
his local name may be Smith
or Jones, and he may be living
Just around the corner from
you. Indeed, sooner or later
every mans name Is job.
Sooner or later, every thought
full person has TO face the
tragedy Of human suffering:
Why must such things be?

Such a person Is Paul Strachan.
Although he left the hospital a

Regardless Of differences re-
|specting details he said, "the Re-
publican Party opposes surrender Of
our clear rights in Berlin to Soviet
aggression. One such surrender
as at Munich-would inevitably pre-
cipitate others and multiply the
final hazard"
Senator Vandenberg added that
IAN equitable review Of this whole
problem in the United Nations, u
which the United States is seeking
along with Britain and France, "is
the best calculated risk for peace

fair play" he declared I'VE will

Outlining the "basic Republican
purpose" Senator Vanderberg said

Justice because this is not the route
to peace and justice. But II honor
able peace should fail-and I dc
not believe it needs to fail nor will

noted, received a unanimous 13-to-0
