Dr. Talmage read passages of scripture in which good and bad characters were set off out in vivid contrast and hymn: “‘armof the Lord, awake! awak!

The ‘Wherefore Following is text was, Job, xxi, 7: do the wicked live ?’’ the sermon: Poor Job! with horns, with hoots all fortunes of life came on him at once.

For each boil a plaster of objurga- tion. Probably no man was ever more tempted to take this bad advice than was Job when at last his three exasperating triends,Eliphaz, Bildad and Zophar, came to comfort him, saying in substance, ‘*You old sin- ner, this serves you right.
