Isaiah 24:9. - Memory Verse: God is love. 1 John 4:8. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The event recorded in I Samuel occurred possibly '1056 B.C.; Isaiah 28 Was written not far from '725 B.C.; Paul probably Wrote his Epistle to the Galatians in A.D. 58. place...—The city of Ziklag has not• yet been definitely identified,. but it was somewhere south of Gaza, in southern Palestine, Ephraim is the name of that part of Palestine which call be gen- erally located in the central wes- tern section of the Holy Land;; here it is probably a synonym for all of Samaria. Galatia was a province in Asia, an area today known as Asia Minor. 'And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread abroad over all the ground, eating and drinking, and dancing, be^ cause of all the great spoil that they had taken out of the land of the Philistines, and out of the land of "Judah. And David smote , them from the twilight even unto the evening of the next day: and there escaped not a man of them, save four hundred young men, who rode upon camels and fled." Providentially, an Egyptian who knew the place to which the Amalekites had fled, appeared just at the time when David first became aware of what had hap- pened to his 'property and hie wives, and guided them to the place where these marauders were drinking and carousing in cele- bration of their victory. Discov- ered in such a state, totally sur- prised and unprepared, bewildered because of their gluttony and drinking, the whole Amalekite host that had destroyed Ziklag was destroyed by David and his soldiers, Many a battle has been lost for the same reason, Abiding Beauty "Woe to the crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the, fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that are overcome with wine. Behold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one; as a tempest of hail, a de- stroying storm, as a tempest of ' mighty waters overflowing, will be cast down to the earth with the hand. The crown of pride of •the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot: and the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the first ripe fig before the summer; which when he that lookebh upon it seeth, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up." The union of two metaphors, each separately striking, adds double force to the prophet's warning.... The proud crown or garland of the drunkards, when the spoiler has torn it from their brows, and cast it on the, ground, will be trodden under his feet. Samaria, the glorious beauty or ornament of Ephraim, would be indeed like -a fading, flower, a wreath withering away; and also like the early fig, wlticlt drops when the tree is shaken, and which he who sees it no „sooner sets his eyes upon than he devours it with greedy haste, Effect of Strong Drink • "And even these reel with wine, and stagger with strong drink; the priest and the prophet reel with strong drink, they are swat. lowed up of wine, they stagger. with strong drink;, they err in vision, they stumble in judgment." By the influence of intokicating liquors the priests and prophets were disqualified for the high h I office; holyfunctions of their and was And the consequence that the nation wile eorrapt, • and was ex- posed to the 'heavy ;judgments of God. • Work: of the' Flesh works. of the Flesh "Now wthn are manifest, whish, are. these: fornication, . uncleanness, lascivi oneness, idolatry, sorcery, enmi- ties, strife, jealousies, maths, factions, divisions, ',parties, envy ing's, drunkenness, ,revellings, and such like; ,of which:I forewarn you even as I did forewarn you, , that they who peactise such things shall not inherit the kingdom of, God." This is the first time that torose verses, so dark in their em... umeration of the sins of men, have ever appeared as 0 pert of the printed tent ell the Interne., tional Sunday School 'Lessons. And yet this passage is a pert of ilia Word of, God, a very sober pert of the Word of ,coil.. It is •a word of warning, and it should be heeded, The mere 'exltulination • of this passage with some care will how any heart before God, •:asking for: cleansing when it is conscious of being guilty of any of these sins, asking, too, for divine deliverance from inch and all of them throughout the years 'that remain, is, of course, to have eternal life. It involves nil that is ever thought of in the idea of heaven, of eter- nal peace and joy, of a home above in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. To be shut out of bhe kingdom of God means noth- ing loss than to be• confined to darkness and everlasting suffer- ing. The text does itot say that any one who has ever been guilty of any of these Elias will never inherit the kingdom of God, for then all of us would be hopelessly lost. No matter what sin any man has been guilty of, the blood of Jesus Christ Isis Son can ween that sin or can make atonement for that sirs and reconcile that soul to God. What it does say is that those whp practice and eontinue in these sins, who persistently em- brace them and indulge in them, these will neves enter the king- dom of God. There is a differ- ence botWeen a man who lives in sin day after day, and,a Christian who h some sudden moment of temptation falls into sin, only to cry to God to be immediately de- livered therefrom.

Huns Use Fiendish Phosphorus Bullets The Germane are using an ex- plosive bullet that is treated with phosphorus, claims the Windsor Star. The purpose of the bullet is to make a jagged hole and spread the phosphorus through the wound. The poison takes ef- fect and there is enough of it to be fatal, if it is not caught in time. The Iluns are masters of the fiendish arts of war. They use these poison bullets as part oil their campaign to spread fear. If anything like it ie used against the Germans, Berlin squeals to the heavens that Germany is be- ing the victim of unorthodox pun- ishment, - The Germans used explosive bullets in the last war, too. It is the same old Hun, the same cruel Bootie, who wants to conquer and will go to any length to achieve. that conquest, New Process Raincoats for Canada's armed forces are now being made of ordinary cotton shirting,• weather- lnoofed with a chemical the basis of ingredients of which are lime- stone, natural_gas and salt. 0 RT 8 REX FROST - There's romance in the air this were offered to the best artists RADIO REPORTER 8i month — wedding bells will ring on February 27th for a well known radio personality and the member of a well known Cana- dian family. Quite a number of years ago a Toronto commercial sponsor was searching for a new singer to star in all early evening broadcast — the search ended on hearing a young lad singing over a Hamilton Radio Station—here was voice and , personality that was .introduced to the radio lis- tener as the Silver Masked Tenor wonder if any of you remem- ber that early evening series of broadcasts over CFRB about ten years, ago? After singing some six months incognito, the grand unmasking was made in a down- town hall in Toronto, and Jiminie Shields was introduced by name to his many radio fans. From that time on, Jimmie has risen steadily. to the top — his first big feature spot being on the Neilson Chocolate programme (hold that name Neilson in mind a moment, will you!) From the Neilson show to starring roles in many big Toronto programmes, then across the border to Buffalo and New York, where until a month 05 so ago Jimmie was sing- ing :,ever the Mutual, network.

Three month professional contracts with CFRB appearing in the series. You 11 recall perhaps that Miss Gwen Lambert of Newmarket was win- ner of the first series, and it's now our pleasure to announce the winner of the second series, Archie Barth of Barrie, a young lad who has studied music for many years with the hope of even- tually making singing his career. To encourage him in his ambi- tions, Archie Barth has an en- ' thu siastic young' wife and small daughter, and CFRB joins them in wishing Archie lots of Good Luck and a profitable, successful singing career. * 0 0 However, CFRB's musical di- rector, Roy Locksley, has not given up the search for new 'musi- cal talent. .Commencing inunedi- ately, Mr. Locksley will present a series of broadcasts to be known as "The Stardust Parade," which will feature young singers previ-• ously unknown to air listeners. From experience this Station knows that many a currently fa- mous radio personality stepped up from the ranks of the unknown auditioner to radio headlines.

Jack .Benny when he recently was in- troduced to some 14,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen at the Exhibi- tion Park Coliseum in Toronto. And it drew quite a laugh. Yes, it's true that Jack Benny tops his six feet of easy flowing hu- mour and merriment with a few more grey hairs than most of us imagine , .. but Jack says he has earned every one of them think- ing of hunlourous gags for his radio listeners. Other surprises were in that sparkling one hour variety show he put on for the boys. Airs.

The value of Boy Scout train- ing in first aid was shoavn to good advantage recently at Galt, Ontario. A group of Scouts en- joying an outing on a farm near the city were given an opportun- ity to test their skill when a lad fell from the roof of a barn, in- juring his ankles. They used their knowledge .of signalling to call other boys from the • nearby woods, and then while one boy summoned a doctor, other boys improvised a stretcher with their coats and carried the injured boy to the farm house, where prepar- ations had been made to receive him by a messenger sent ahead. * F 0 A Nova Scotia Scoutmaster, looking over a picture of a group .of his Boy Scouts, taken on a camping trip a few years ago, found that of 14 boys in the group, seven are in the armed forces, two are in war industry, two are studying medicine at University and three are still at- tending school. s. a 0 Out of a class of 48 hien who sat for 'a higher rating examina- tion for Sick Berth Attendants in the Royal Naval Volunteer Re- serve, the first three places were won by men who had received their first aid and nursing train- ing in the Boy Scouts, a report from London relates. Jewish Boy Scouts of Sheffield, England, have set up a good turn service, carrying servicemen's kits between the city's two railway stations. The service was organ- ized entirelj, on their own initia- tive, and they take it in turns, working -to meet each in pairs, train and carry kits to the other station. Official reports from National Salvage Headquarters show that the Province of Manitoba leads all others in the total quantity of material salvaged on the basis of population. It is not mere coin- cidence that Manitoba Boy Scouts have been among the most active hi Canada in the salvage drives.
