Psalm 27:4 One thing I ask from the Lord, this only do I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to gaze on the beauty of the Lord and to seek Him in His temple. E. Gale Job, 91, passed peacefully from this life early Monday morning at his home near Limestone, TN. He was born near Cloverdale, Ind., on October 3, 1923 and grew up in Columbus, Ind.
