\ 0 THE NEWBERRY SUN. NEWBERRY. S. C. SUPERIOR INTELLECT O NE of Sam's mules took it into his head to stop dead on the main street of the town, and it was twenty minutes before Sam could persuade the animal to move a single step. And then the other mule balked! Sam pleaded, threatened, cursed, but to no avail. The critter wouldn't budge an inch. If the mules made Sam mad, the steadily growing crowd of specta tors that gathered about his wagon, •iTering comments, suggestions and jibes, reduced him to the state of a raving, gesticulating maniac. Pushing his way ahead of the re calcitrant mules, Sam turned, lev eled an accusing finger at them, and shouted, ‘‘I'll conquer you. I’ll con quer you!” Sensing some doubt on the part of the spectators, Sam add ed, "Don’t think I can do it, eh? Well, I can, ’cause I’ve got more sense than both of you mules put together!” UGH! He—I always kiss the stamps on your letters because I know your lips have touched them. She—Oh, dear, and to think I dampen them on Fido’s nose! Waiting for the Kickoff Sonny boy, 4, came trotting into the house with an old, battered feed pail and shouted: "Here, grandma, kick this quick!” “Why should I do that?” asked granny, puzzled. "Because,” said Sonny boy, "dad dy told mamma we’ll all have lots of money as soon as you kick the bucket!” Really Serious “Doctor,” said the patient, rushing into his physician’s office, “you’ve just got to do something about this insomnia of mine. It's driving me crazy.” "Now, now,” soothed the medic, "surely it can’t be as bad as all that.” “It can’t, eh? Why, I can’t sleep even when it’s time to get up!” GET IN A DITCH Policeman (at scene of collision) —You saw this young lady driving toward you. Why didn’t you give her the road? Motorist—I was going to, officer, as soon as I could discover which half she wanted. Their Big Date A Kansas cyclone hit a farm house just before dawn one morning. It lifted the roof off, picked up the bed on which the farmer and his wife slept, and set it down gently in the back 40. The wife was crying soft ly. "Don’t be scared, Mary,” her husband said, "we’re not hurt.” Mary continued to cry. "Im not scared," she responded between sobs. ‘Tm just happy ’cause this is the first time in 14 years that we’ve been out together.” Must Be That First Hunter—Hey, Bill! Second Hunter—Yeah? First Hunter—You ail right? Second Hunter—Yeah. First Hunter (relieved)—That’s good. I guess I just killed a deer. He Got Trimmed At a swank New York restaurant, a customer sat down at a table and tied his napkin under his chin. The manager told the waiter to let the man know, without hurting his feel ings, that such things weren’t done there. Approaching his customer, the waiter smiled pleasantly, then in quired, “What will you have, sir? Shave or haircut?” A Tip-off A Hollywood hostess, giving in structions to her new maid just be fore a party, cautioned: "Now please try to remember, Marie, when you serve the guests, don’t wear any jewelry.” Maid—I haven't anything valu able, Madame, but thanks for the warning just the same. “Very funny!

EDITOR’S NOTE: Lesson subjects and Scripture texts selected and copy righted by International Council of Re ligious Education: used by permission. By HAROLD L. LUNDQU1ST, D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago. <‘ r | 'HE earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein” (Ps. 24:1). The man who knows the Lord recognizes that the material and the ipiritUal world are both God’s, and that there is in the final analysis no dividing line between the secular and the sacred. To keep our thinking straight about the story of Job, we quote an excellent summary by Dr. B. L. Olmstead: “Our lesson today ■tresses the works of God as seen in nature. The longer lesson of a few chapters (Job 38-41) consists of the whole of the Lord’s answer to Job out of a whirlwind after the dialogue with the three friends is completed, and after a youthful by stander, Elihu, had undertaken to give Job an answer (chs. 32-37). “While Elihu was speaking, a storm came up and Elihu used it to portray the greatness, mystery and unsearchableness of God (ch. 37). Elihu uttered many truths, but he did not rid himself of the error that Job was suffering for his sins. When he had finished, the voice of God was heard out of the storm”—(Arnold’s Commentary). We find in firm selected Scriptures of our printed lesson— I. The God of Creation (vv. 1-7). J OB’S friend Elihu had made a rather good speech, but he had missed the real point of Job’s test- Ings. So the Lord rebukes him as one who darkens counsel "by words without knowledge.” How aptly that expresses much that is going on in our day. Brilliant men, leaders in science, economics and government, but without the true knowledge which comes from a simple faith in God, are now fill ing this already confused world with millions of words. Yes, words, words, words, that really darken the truth about God and his plan for the world. They flow from the radio, the press, the pulpit, from everywhere, and only add to the confusion. God now brings Job to his feet (v. 3). He is to stand up like a man and answer God. Where was he when God laid the foundations of the world? If he is so wise, perhaps he knows how God suspended the world in space? Perchance he would like to get out his little meas uring line and try to put the plans of the Almighty through the little channel of his human brain! These are questions that the professed leaders of our day need to answer, and they need also to come (if by any chance they could humble themselves) to the place that Job did (40:4): “I will lay my hand upon my mouth.” Job is also reminded that the God of creation is also II. The God of Life (w. 16-18). T HE God who put the springs in the bottom of the sea, and who has measured the breadth of the earth, is also the God who controls life and death. Men have tried down through the ages to search out the secret of life, and at times they have talked as though they had discov ered it. Then one discovers that they have just wrapped up their inability to fathom it in some new scientific words, and we still have not taken that matter in our own hands. That may well be a real blessing, for only the infinite God has the wisdom to determine the limits of man’s days, and the manner of his entry into the gates of death. How good it is to leave such matters in his mighty but tender hands! That leads us to our next point. He is III. The God of Order (w. 22, 28, 31, 41). H E MAKES the millions of snow flakes in thousands of intricate patterns—no two alike, but all in marvelous geometric patterns. Can Job understand that—in fact, can you and I understand how he does it? Who feeds the birds? Who keeps the stars moving in such order that man can calculate their movements down to the very min ute? What about the rain, the hail, the lightning? Look at the animals and their marvelous adaptability to their surround ings. The man who thinks all these things are the results of chance, or who talks about "the laws of nature,” only reveals the utter smallness of his own mind, and bis complete lack of comprehen sion of the Almighty God.

It benefits the public by describing exactly the products that are offered. It benefits employees, because the advertiser must be more fair and just than the employer who has no obligation to the public. These benefits of advertising are quite apart from the obvious benefits which advertising confers—the lower prices, the higher quality, the better service that go with advertised goods and firms.
