T1almange preachled on 'Narrow EscapeH," takttig atH hlS text Job xiv, 20U: "1 am Ieped with the skin of my teeth." Ftollowing is his sormnin in full: Job had it hard. Whenu with boils and bereavemnent and1 banukruptey, and a fool of a wife, hie wishiedi he was dead; and I do n ot blame him. His flesh was g )no, and his honest wero dry. His teeth wastedl away until nothing b)ut the t"nlntel st-'uedl loft. Ho cries out,, "I amn esr:aped with tho skini of my teeth." 'l'ht're has been some diceece of Opinion 1 atbout, this passage. St. J(rOIlle anti guhultens, andl D)octors (oo :luad 1'oOl and Barnies, have all triedl their forceps On Job H teeth. Youl deny myI interpretation, andl say, "Whalit didt Job know about enamel of (.ht+ teetht?" Ho knew o)verything abt1)U it. Dental surgery is abmost :s old as theocarth. The mununies of Egypt, thiousanlds of years oltl, art' fornn<l to day3 with gold-tilling in t,heir teeth. Ovid and Horace andl Solonton awt Moses wrote about t,hos )b!llportant factOrH of the bodly.
