The Characters

THE characters at first are three:
l. God, Satan and a man named
Job. Job is good man, in fact God
calls him perfect. He is also pros
porous, and thereby hangs the tale.
For one fateful day God and Satan
have conversation about this man.
The Lord inquiries if Satan has seen
him, and how good he is. Oh yes,
Satan says airily, he has seen him,
but he does not think highly of his
goodness. He. is too well paid
for it. He has a large and happy
family, and has immense wealth;
why shouldn't he be good? Take
away his prosperity and he will
curse you to your face, Satan
Sneers.
So God lets Satan work his
malice on the man. In a ter
rible series of disasters, one
rushing on anOther's heels,
everything Job has owned van
ishes. His children are killed
by storm and fire, and Job is
left a childless, penniless man.
But Job will not complain; his
faith In God still does not waver.
So when next Satan reports to
God, the Almighty asks again: Did
you see my servant Job? He holds
fast to his integrity. All, yes, sneers
the unbelieving fend. Yes. but he
still has his health. He can have
another family, another fortune.
Make life itself so miserable that
he will long to die, and then you
will see his goodness vanish, then
he surely will curse you to your
face.
So God let Satan do his worst
Do all you can to him, God says.
only leave him alive. And then Job
Is made horribly and painfully i'll.
he cannot sleep for the torture of
boils covering him from head to
foot. Three of his friends come to
visit him. For seven days they sit
in silence, and then begins a great
debate, with Job on one side and
his friends on the other: Why must
such things be? Why must good
people suffer?

Wild Sowing

Wild Sowing
rs WE SAW last week, the most
IA important feature of the Ideal
World, or of any world, is the quail
ity Of the people in it. So most Of
Jesus parallels were about people,
one OF the most famous being this
one of the ''prodigal son." ("Prod-
igaP' Of course does not mean wick
ed or repentant, but wasteful, reck-
less with money or other things.)
You could find many faults in that
young man. One of them - the
fault that nearly killed him - was
that If he had a calendar he never
looked at it. If you take a good
look at a calendar you will always
notice that there is another day af-
ter this one-another month, anoth-
er year. But the prodigal never
thinks about tomorrow, only about
today. He sows his wild oats be-
cause he has fun doing it. He can
say $50 what?" fast enough but he
has never asked the question, e
and then WHAT" Childish, isn't it?
Some people even argue that
1t is good thing to SOW wild
oats, on the theory that the
prodigal gets 1t out Of his sys-
tenn and is afterwards a better
man.
Nonsense! Is 1t better for your
education to spend several years
learning things wrong? Is it bet
ter for a garden to let it grow up
in weeds for the first three weeks?
Is it better for a mans health to
spend his childhood years on a sick
bed? That's no more silly than to
say that a man is morally better
for having been immoral for a while
first.
Prodigal Nation
TT HAS EVEN been said that we
l have prodigal-son civilization.
Our generation is pretty busy SOW
ing wild oats. We waste the nat
ural resources of the earth. Drink
ing has become encouraged by law
and made glamorous by the movies.
We spend more on liquor than on
schools. More money is spent on
single days horse-racing at a big
track than whole state or prov
ince spends on education in a year.
The ties of marriage have grown
so weak, especially outside the
Christian church, that it has not
been long since one American city
was boasting that its marriage rate
had Caught up with" its divorce
rate!
Wild Harvest
THE PRODIGAL son in Jesus
l story went home-but he had to
reap his wild harvest first. The
modern prodigal, whether individ-
ual or nation, seems to misunder-
stand Jesus meaning. II God is
thought Of at all, he is pictured as
a benevolent Being who after all
doesn't mind our enjoying our little
fling. He will forgive" said Vol
taire, that's his business" That
is total misunderstanding of God.

Cancer is as much a plague OF
dogdom as it is of man, but not as
much is heard about it because
many affected animals are never

toms of illness and may die without
arousing suspicion of that disease.

Was Job Real?

nON'T ask: Was Job a real char
II acter, or a made-up one like
Hamlet and Macbeth? It is very
likely there was once upon time
some man by that name who suf-
fered in that way, and that he had
friends, not too sympathetic, who
talked it over with him.
AS Hamlet and Macbeth were his
torical characters, whom Shakes
peare used with high art to express
profound ideas, so 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 3.
full person has to face the
tragedy of human suffering:
Why must such things be?
Suffering Is Test
THERE is, however, one solution
L which comes out in the course
of the drama. 1t is not a theoretical
solution; that Is, it does not alto
gether answer the question, WHY
must men suffer? It does tell us
WHAT we can do about it.
Suffering is 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.

Mostly they are about simple ordi-

If you said Kingdom of Cod to
the average religious person of Je-
sus' time, he would have replied,
"Oh, yes, that wonderful time! The
time when these Roman soldiers
will be blasted off the earth by the
terrible breath of God, the time
when every grape will yield barrels
of wine and single grain of wheat
can be ground into bushels of flour
the Miracle Age" The Kingdom
Of God as Jesus proclaimed it -
Gods Ideal World - was some
thing quite different from that. Je-
sus illustrated it not with fanciful
wild pictures, but with stories from
real life, from the field or the farm
house.
The Kingdom of God is king
dom of law, not of happen-sO or
of magic wands. Jesus was
fond of comparing Gods King
dom to growing plants. Every
plant is a miracle, it is evidence
of Gods creative power; but
plants do not grow overnight,
they grow by the laws which the
creator made in them.

WAY Back When

Train robbers made big headlines
tn early days but they were never
so costly to the railroads as tramps
and buns. This was so not because
the tramps and buns rode without
paying fares, but because Of their
thefts Of and damage to freight, and
also because tramps and buns were
likely to become clients of a whole
army OF shyster lawyers whose spe-
cialty was suing railroads on account
OF injuries to men who, to begin
with, had no right to be where they
were when injured.
