The mind always urges to know the reason why, when the heart must suffer. Job's trial was made the more bitter by the attitude of those nearest to him in his trouble. His wife said unto him, "Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Curse God and die." He resents the suggestion with indignation. Manfully he replies, "Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What ? shall we receive good at the hand of God and shall we not receive evil?" Through all the bitter agonizing of his spirit An...swer to Life's Problems. 103 there is one aspect of the case which contains some promise. If he could only lay the affair before God he seems to think that therein he might find some relief. "Surely I would speak to the Al- mighty, and I desire to reason with Him." With desperate confidence he declares "though he slay me, yet will I trust Him." But he makes little or no progress towards a rational theory of his troubles. He finds no standing ground. Fully persuaded at last of the utter emptiness of the words of his intruders and of the futility of his own efforts in his searching after a philosophy, he cries out, "O that I knew where I might find Him !" Chastened and disciplined by his experience of bit- terness, Job thus at last had found the deepest truth of the philosophy of life and the largest and most comforting assurance of faith.
