by will be the running of the negro

pete
Bonds sent out an appeal

Text: Job 14:13-17; 17:13-16:19:
23-28.
By WILLIAM S. GILROY, D. D.
Editor of Advance 4
In our lesson Job asks dramati-
cally the great question that hu-
manity has been baking all through
the ages concerning the mystery of
life and defth—"If a man die, shall
he live again?" Three answers
have been given to that question in
the course of the ages and are be-
ing given today.
The first answer is that of the
materialists who say that this life
is all, and that there is nothing
after death. It seems strange that
those who answer this question in
the negative should think it worth
while to speak and write exten-
sively about it.
Surely there would seem to be no
gospel or good news for man in
persuading them that there is no
soul life beyond the few years of
