THAT MAN JOB.
(C'ONTINUKI) FKOM I*AOK 7)
Which long for death but it coin
etlj not.
And dig for if more than for hid
den treasures;
Which rejoice exceedingly,
And are glad when they can find
the grave.
Why is light given to a man whose
way is hid,
And whom (rod hath hedged in ?
For my sighing is before I eat
And my roarings are poured out
like water;
For the thing which 1 fear eometh
upon me,
And that which 1 am afraid of
eometh unto me.
1 am not at ease, neither am 1
quiet
Neither have 1 rest; but trouble
eometh!”
Some one among us has raised
the question, “Did (fod not make
evil?” “Did He make the curse of
drink?” “Why is evil present
among us?” “Why is suffering?”
Another has said—“Temptation is
a good thing” in substance. She
keeps temptation standing about
in bottles and cupboards to make
her boys strong.
The Lord’s prayer is a reply to
this. “Lead us not into tempta
tion.” Humanity says “Protect
the weak.” The whole book of
dob is the best response to the
question. “If God made every
thing and is Himself all and in all,
nor was anything made that is
made without Him, why did He
make alcohol or the drink habit,
or the curse of intemperance, or.
in short, why did God make evil?”
dob searches after this mystery,
the everlasting problem of evil.
The book of Job gives the result
of dob’s search. Browning,
among the poets, also contemplates
the subject, and he says, “(rood
could not bo understood as good !
nor chosen without the knowledge
of evil.”
In .lob the Sacred Scriptures'
considers the problem of (iood and
Evil. Perhaps we shall contem
plate this subject further. It con
tains the stuff of which wisdom is
made. Mrs. I*. G. Mauxkss. i

FROM GRAND (1LAISE.
To The Newark Journal:
Please find enclosed $1.00 on
m.v subscription. I am always
glad to welcome The Journal into
my home. 1 have tried my new
home about a year and decided 1
like it better than any place 1 have
ever lived.
People have all done well here !
this year considering the rain and
high water. Everybody is in good
hope and looking forward for a
better crop another year. I find
lots of land here for sale and rent.
It is good, and prices more rea
sonable than where I have lived
before.
Crops are mostly gathered in :
this part of the country. Some I
cotton to pick yet but not very l
much.
It is now Christmas, but every
thing is quiet and peaceable. It
is not as some places 1 have seen.
Some people think because it is
Christmas they must get drunk
anti have a so-called good time,but
1 think they should think more
seriously on such things, and in
stead of having what some call a
“big time” on Christmas it would
be better if more time was spent
in laboring for our Master who
doeth all things well. It makes
my heart bleed to look out and see 1
so many going on down the down
ward road who know not what
the cost will be.
I have been a member of the
M. P. church for a number of
years and know my time is not
