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! Now let’s see you produce the rent!”
‘That’s okay, Alvin. Bring the whole gang with you.
The folks can read in the kitchen!”

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.

An electric motor mounted on a

noisy, so much so that the vibra

The cure is a sound-deadening
cushion of rubber or felt. Four or

the base will do the job.

Doctor Hypnotizes Wild
Zoo Animals by Voice
Demonstration of man’s ability
to hypnotize wild animals was giv
en by a Hungarian physician at
the Budapest zoo in 1937.
Chiefly by the tone of his voice,
he put into a hypnotic state a
dozen of the zoo’s most feared ani
mals, including a surly lion, a
bad-tempered swan and a bear
that had mauled his keeper on
several occasions.
In remodeling your kitchen it is
a good idea to redesign it as a

ia f s (HE PUBLIC nature of advertising bene-
JL fits everyone it touches. 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.
