LESSON PASSAGE—Isaiah 5:8-12 18-24 me against myself, with pathetic voice, for ease and rest ana God harden This coward Who craves joys. Myself, arch-traitor to myself, My hollowest friend, my deadliest foe, My clog whichever way I go. -Yet One there is can curb myself, Can roll the strangling load from me, Break off the yoke and set me free —Christina Rossetti A Prophet and His Song, 8-10 their curiousity was Isaiah was a young aristocrat speaking in Jerusalem. His message was one that the nobles did not care to hear. How could he gain their attention? He adopted a clever de­ vice to intrigue his audience. He played a few notes on a musical in­ strument and gathered hearers about him. When awakened, he began to recite a, poem It purported to be a song about a friends vineyard. Suddenly Isaiah became very bold and launched a series of startling “Woes” upon his hearers. He first accused the nobles of land .grabbing which in the end defeated itself. A pioneer settler in, a Canadian province added farm to farm till he owned nearly a whole township and then began buying house arter house till he owned near­ ly all the houses in the county town Today he can neither rent the farms or collect rent from his houses. He has demonstrated the menace of monoply and illustrated the old say­ ing, “The earth is the Lord’s and not the landlord’s.” Preoccupied Minds, 11, 12 Isaiah next pronounced his woe upon the intemperate. WhUe many were unable to get food, the social leaders were drinking expensive wines. So strong was the hold of alcohol upon some of them that they drank in the morning, a custom that was despised by the Hebrews. Drink­ ing far on into the night they rose early to get liquor to undo the ef­ fects of their intoxication the night before. Early and late they were at their cups. They tried to gloss over their debauchery ;by having .music at their drinking bouts. The music gave an atmosphere of refinement tc scenes that were far from uplifting Along with the actual degradation was the fact that they gave too much thought to liquor and lost their in­ terest in higher things. They had physical exhilaration instead of spir­ itual exaltation. Alcoholism is a cer­ tain foe to the cultivation of relig­ ious experience. Challenging the Mipral Order, 18, 19 These woes show a progressive de­ terioration in character. Those who begin with iniquities which may be drawn with a string are soon drag­ ging sins with a cart rope. They be­ come so indifferent to right and wrong that they challenge the Al­ mighty to vindicate the moral order This is somewhat in the fashion of the modern Superman who claims to ■ have advanced “.beyond good and evil.” It is bad enough to be sel­ fish and indulgent, but it is much worse when (these sins cease to be thought sinful. One great security against evil lies in being snockea a? it when we are ready to give a phil­ osophical defence for our wrong do­ ing we destroy this moral safeguard How modern it all reads? It is tne fashion of many moderns to laugh at the ten commandments as old fash­ ioned and to taunt those who still believe in conscience as unemanipat- ed. I't is this kind of thinking that have given us what is called the “dirty decade.” Flouting SocaiL Standards, 20-23 for bitter intellectual individual- are wealth to gather They Next the sophists appear upon the scene, They refuse to call things by their right names.

Before the machine more justification for individualism as each had to struggle for food but now that production has overtaken distribution, the problem is now one of government.

The custom the problem is industrial age of the people of the wealth age there was A Day of Reckoning', 24 Isaiah believed in a moral order, and boldy announced ithat the God of right would vindicate his laws. His­ tory is full of illustrations showing that the prophet spoke the truth. Men reap what they sow, and na­ tions do the same. Social injustice carries its own punishment with it. When monopoly leads to undue con­ centration of capital, money ceases to circulate. The press .and the theatre may revel in liquor jokes, but the motor accidents in which li­ quor is a factor are not funny. Our word alcohol comes from two Aralbic words El Gohul, meaning, the great evil spirit. Intemperance is both a moral and economic problem, as the manufacturers^of liquor gain contr«i of great wealth and often this her­ editary wealth leads to extravagant luxury which undermines character.

About five years ago the writer had a friend visiting him whose home was in Detroit. The friend found it necessary to purchase a pair of socks and the writer took pains to take his guest to a real merchant. The serving was done so satisfactorily that the guest purchaser an entire suit for golfing with an extra or two. This purchase so pleased him that he 'bought from the same merchant a complete outfit of undies. Nor is that all. Every summer since, that merchant sells that guests about $5 0.00 worth of clothing. This good stroke of business grew out of being able to treat prop­ erly an apparent transient who appeared tp require but a pair of socks. Those visitors are worthy of the right sort of attention. ******** APPARENT FAILURE .The Economic Conference that is about to conclude its meeting in London met, it would appear, about six months too late. Ever since the advent of the depression in 1929, honest ana earnest men have 'been working to mend the world’s finances. About ten months ago the efforts of these men began to bear fruit. The result was that many of those who met in London imagined that the' hardness of conditions was a thing of the past. The first step- based on this imagination was for one or two o.f the prominent nations to allow their inherent and self-developed selfishness to assert itself and to refuse to do anything unless they were allowed to have their own way. Men who came to negotiate assumed the part of dictatorship. Principles that one nation in particular had declared they had adopt­ ed just before the conference convened, and which were known to be essential to the success of the conference, were repudiated as the conference was getting under way. Of course no progress could be made under circumstances thus rendered impossible. Noth­ ing can be done with a nation that blows both hot and cold, that "says one thing today and insists upon another thing tomorrow. If the Conference has failed the failure lies at the door of those who had not the vision to see the value of one of the greatest economic opportunities in the history of the race. ****** ** A NEW DICTATORSHIP ■v The old idea of a dictator or tyrant or boss was a strong man who had a policy of his own which he had acquired sufficient power to enforce. Such a dictatorship was characterized by the arrogance of the individual who had a lust for power, usually the power of the srword. The neiw dictatorship is of another sort..This is the dictatorship of a group that puts forward a puppet who bows and wiggles as a group behind the curtain pull strings or touch springs or manipu­ late switches of one sort or another. Such a puppet dictator has all the appearances of a man. To .him certain powers are conceded in a constitutional way apparently in the interests of the general good. in. reality this ostensible dictator is*a mere creature who twists his nose and who mouths great utterances as he is tutored and schooled by the unseen but tremendously selfish goup by whose good will he lives and moves and holds his job. And this is the most dangerous dictator of them all. History will show that the United States has produced this new dictator. The situation is all the more dangerous because the alleged dictator has been looked upon as a superman whereas he is but carrying out the altogether selfish policy of a group. GRASSHOPPERS LAND IN WEYBURN DISTRICT 'Countless millions of igasshoppers winged their way over Weytburn from the southeast for several hours re« cently. Hordes of the pefets landed in Wey- burn and surrounding district. Most of them seemed to have small rea parasites attached to thein under wings. While the flight was thickest the sky presented the illusory spectacle of a snowstorm in progress with big flakes being driven by a strong wind Twelve years ago a similar flight of hoppers took place over the Wey- •burn area, Saskatchewan.
