THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
OCTOBER 2nd.,
Introduction to the Lesson by
REV. GORDON A. PED•DT'E, B.A.
Lesson Text -,Ex. 20:1.3; U. 45:22;
Mark 12:28-34; 1 Cor. 8:2-6.
Golden Text ---Deutz 6:5.
The title of the lesson is, 'The One
True God.' Since it is impossible to
deal adequately with all four pas-
sages' we shall confine our remarks
to the flirsiM„ "And God spoke all
these words, saying, I am the Lord
thy 'God, which- have brought, thee
out of the land of, Egypt, out of the
house of bondage, Thou shalt have
no' other gods before me" (Ex. 20:
1-3).
"And God spake " By this
word we are reminded that there are
two kinds of knowledge which man
may have .of God, the one imaginary,
the, other real. First, there is an
imaginary., knowledge, a natural
knowledge; common to mankind as
such. Because of this 'knowledge'
men say;' "Why yes, certainly, I
believe in God." And secondly, there
is the real knowledge, foreign to
mankind as such.. Because of this
real knowledge men say, "Yes, be-
cause God has spoken to me in His
word, therefore, I believe in God."
The Egyptians, and all the nations
round about Israel, believed in God.
The children of .Israel, however, in
distinction to all other nations, were
the objects of God's. Word -and by
this Word alone is God known as
'the One True God.'
The natural man, man in himself,
has always worshipped and will con-
tinue to worship a god whom he can
know by the powers and insights of
his own mind, by the feelings and
emotions of his own heart. Every
man has his own ideas of god -and
it is this 'idea of a god' which is the
secret and real object of his worship.
From the unlettered working man to
the learned philosopher and theolog-
ian comes the assertion, "Yes, I be-
lieve in God.' And each holds tena-
ciously to his own idea; and each
worships fervently the god he has
fashioned for himself. But the man
of faith must flee constantly from
the god whom he can know; he must
hate as he would hate the very devil
himself his own 'idea of god'; and
he must cling earnestly to the One
True God, the God not known by any
man save when He reveals Himself
as He speaks in His Word,
Now the true and living God -not
the known God, but the revealed God
-makes Himself known to His lost
and sinful people as the God who has
great compassion upon them in their
idolatrous ignorance of Him, When
God speaks to man He does so as
man's Deliverer, man's Redeemer.
"God spake.... saying, I am the
Lord thy God who have brought thee'
out of the land of Egypt, out of the,
house of bondage." Not as a cruel+
task -master does God reveal Himself!
but as the gracious Saviour. Not as
a capricious tyrant does God issue to
His people the stern and absolute
commandment, "Thou shalt have no
other gods before me," This stern
commandment issues forth from God
because He knows His people, and
because He draws to them in. His
Word as their mighty and merciful
Redeemer.
But it is impossible for man, just
because of his sin, just ,because he
Id ever prone to idolatry, just be-
cause he secretly desires to worship
a god whom he can know of himself
-a god who does not speak as the
Redeemer, and who therefore does

PASTEURIZATION OCTOBER 1st
A new law, which forbids the. sale
of milk, cream. or buttermilk unless
1the product is pasteurized, comes in-
to effect October 1. Farm women
'who have been selling cream on the
market find that they will either
have to discontinue sales or have
their cream pasteurized, The new law
forbids the pasteurization of cream
at home, unless the home is equipped
with a pasteurization plant. Merely
putting the cream in hot water and
bringing it up to the heat required
for pasteurization is not permitted
in private homes, because there is
always the chance that the cream
will not be treated correctly during
the nrocess.

Gods commandment, "Thou shalt
as anything other than the
LAW. And the LAW is stern, and
cruel, and always exacting! If this
be not so then it is not LAW! And
what does' the Law do? Why, it tells
us what we are ever prone to do;
by the law ye learn of our natural.
tendency to worship other gods. The
Law tells us of our disobedience
and disobedience to God's Law is
SIN. But who gave this Law which
makes known man's sin by means of
our sin? .The cruel and wicked ty-
rant who delights in disclosing to
people their ignorance of Him and
their idolatrous worship of other
gods? NO. It is the Redeemer who
makes know man's sin by means of
His Law. To what end? To the
end that man humbled to the dust,
smitten - to the ground by the Law
which condemns, will turn from
every other god to the Giver of the
Law, and ,will acknowledge and re-
member His as the God who has
brought him from the Iand of foreign
gods, and delivered ]rim from the
cruel and oppressive bondage of an
idolatrous house.
The Apostle Paul says, "The Law
was our schoolmaster to bring us to
Christ" (Gal. 3:24). What, again,
does .the Law do? Why, the Law
condemns. But does it condemn for
the sake of condemnation? NO! But
for the sake of the redemption of the
condemned for the Law is the Word
of the :Redeemer. Condemned by the
Law where may the inner look? He
may look, with the children of Israel
back to the Giver of the Law who
liberated from the bondage of Egypt;
or he may look with the children of
Israel forward to the. Giver of the
Law who shall yet again deliver
from the bondage of every 'Pharaoh's
land' When that Lawgiver's Word be-
comes incarnate in the Law's Ful-
filment, Jesus Christ our Redeemer
and our Lord.
Turn then, every one of you, from
the god whom you can know, your
little helpless idol, to Him who has
spoken to you in His Word: for
Jesus Christ has indeed come! The
Word has been made flesh! He, and
only He, is the One True God. Oh
love the gracious giver of the Law
--He is Thy Redeemer. Oh cling to
thy Redeemer -and His Law shall be
thy chief delight!
BILLION LB. OF MILK
The combined output of creamery
butter and factory cheese manufact-
ured in Canada during the mouth of
August represented the equivalent of
one biIiion, pounds of milk, register-
ing an increase of approximately 53,-
000,000 lb., as compared with the
combined make in terms of milk for
the corresponding month in 1937.
COLD STORAGE CABBAGES
Cold storage of cabbages at 31.1
to 30.6 degrees Fahrenheit has been
in use in Germany on a very large
scale since 1931. For some varieties
of cabbage, 30.2 degrees Fahrenheit
is the lowest limit without risk of
freezing, and for other kinds 29.3 to
30.2 degrees Fahrenheit. For lengthy
storage, relative humidity is 80 to
85 per cent . At the beginning, 70
to 75 per cent relative humidity is
advisable for the rapid drying of the
outside leaves which act as a protec-
tion.
WHY SHOULD BOVINE •
TUBERCULOSIS BE
ERADICATED?
Huron County farmers are to be
given the opportunity of hearing the
Federal Government Restricted Area
Plan discussed at a Township meet-
ing
eeting late in. October or in November.
Altogether 35 meetings will be held
throughout the County by James C.
Shearer, Agricultural Representative,
so that every cattle owner, will be
conversant with the rules and regula-
tions of the Plan before they are
approached with the questipn for
their signatures.
Every citizen could ask the ques-
tion "Why should Bovine Tuberculos-
is be Eradicated.?
1. It is a menace to human health
'and life. Bad cases of tuberculosis
in children have been found where
some of the herds were badly infect-
ed. Other eases have been reported
in other counties and it is an estab-
lished fact that children will contract)
tuberculosis from drinking milk from
tubercular cattle. Cities have seen
to the protection from this dread dis-
ease by pasteurizing the milk, but
farm children taking raw milk have
no such protection.
2. It curtails markets for cattle.
There is a greater demand and much
higher prices' for accredited and rest-
ricted area cattle. This may be due
in a measure to health regulations
imposed by other countries and aver
which we have no control, but if we
hope to develop those markets we
must comply with their; health reg-
ulations.
3. It reduces the profits from
herds. It is only reasonable to ex-
pect that it costs less to maintain
a healthy herd than a tuberculosis
one,. and also, that the value and
general productivity ' of a healthy
herd will be greater than a tuber-
culosis one. By reducing cost of
production; and increasing value and
productivity, greater profits are as-
sured.
4. It causes serious losses' to the
Iive stock industry.

DRAMA CONTEST DETAILS
Coinoadent with the )inauguration
by CBC Sunday, October 9, of a
series of 13 SRalcespearean dramas
headlining world-famous British
stars of 'radio, stage and screen, the
Corporation announces its first Dom-
inion -wide` drama 'contest for the
purpose of . encouraging Canadian
authors to undertake radio dramat-
ic writing. These two events are
announced simultaneously and thus
linked together .in an effort to illus-
trate radio dramatic technique of the
highest standard for those who wish
guidance with a view of participa-
tion in the CBO Radio Drama con-
test.
Four cash prizes of $250.00, $150.-
00, $100.00 and $50.00 are offered.
The plays entered in the contest
must, be wholly the work of the
author or authors, who must be in
possession of all copyrights, and the
author or authors must be domiciled
and resident in Canada. Preference
will be given to plays with Canadian
flavour, and all entries must be ac-
companied by an official entry. form.
These may be obtained from any of
CBC's offices or studios.
In order that plays may be judged
on merit alone, the author's name
must not, appear on the manuscript,
but only on the form issued for they
purpose. The Board of Adjudicators
will be independent of the CBC, and
no CBC employees or their relatives
can enter the competition.
Officials of the CBC indicate that
only is this the first serious attempt
made in Canadian radio to give op-
portunities and permanent markets,
with fair remuneration, to Canadian
authors, but it is also the first at-
tempt ever made to link up a radio
drama competition with a dramatic
series for guidance and illustration
of the definite standard required in
technique.
vessels are racing, To make this pos-
sible CBC special events department
will have a portable transmitter on
board the Bluenose and this will be
linkedby short-wave with 'a portable
transmitter to be installed on board
the Whebaud by NBC. This will be
the first time such a broadcast has
been attempted. CBC commentators
will be J. Frank Willis, of the Hali-
fax programme department, and Ted
Briggs, of the Ottawa programme
department. Both Willis and Briggs
are experienced seamen, Briggs hav-
ing served for a number of years
in the Royal Navy,
The two famous vessels are the
last survivors of those colourful days
before the advent of the steam traw-
lers, which have since been sent to
the fishing banks in increasingly
greater numbers. The forthcoming
races will be in the nature of a run
ofd each vesseil having . met twice
before and each having won once.
The last race was held off Halifax
in 1931.
The march of time, however; has
left its mark on both vessels andd, it
is believed that before another race
can be sailed one, or perhaps both
of them, will have to be broken up.
The Bluenose is, perhaps, the most
famous of her ldnd ever to have
made Canada's Maritime ports her
home. She is knownand loved by
millions.

the historic fishing fleet races be-

DESTROY' POISON 'IVY NOW
The Rhue Toxicodendron, or pole- -
on ivy, is about the first of the ••
sumac family; to change colour in
the fall. This change, due, not as ,
popularly supposed to frost, but to
ehemical reaction in the chlorophyll
of the plant turning the former
green leaves and broken stems care
ries an oily substance that, in the. •
more susceptible, causes an inflam-
mation of the skin of greater or -
lesser severity. •
The plant is not difficult to re-
cognize. Its fruit at first is a pale -
green and about the size of a pea.
As the fruit ripens, the pale -green
and peisonous berries become cream-
coloured; they lose their poisonous: .
properties and become food for many
of the winged denizens of the forest.
The leaves are in threes, hence the
rhyme, "leaves three, let it be."
The susceptibility to ivy poisoning •
varies greatly. About one person in. •
every 18 is badly poisoned by eon[ -
tact with it. Children are more sues
ceptible than adults because their •
skins are more delicate.
The best treatment of ivy poison-
ing is prevention. The individual''
plants should be uprooted. In the
process gloves should be worn. The
tools used should be washed in soap
and hot water and clothing and
shoes should be carefully cleaned ,•
after contact. In eases where the
oily sap has reached the skin the
latter should be thoroughly washed '
with yellow soap and hot water. In
more severe cases a doctor should
be called.
Children and adults should be edu-
cated to recognize the plant in order
that they may avoid it. The author-
ities should be supported hi their
efforts to eradicate it for contact is
liable to spoil a summer holiday.
Nature has provided an antidote
which grows side by side with pois-
on ivy. This is Jewel weed, a plant
with succulent stems and a small
yellow flower [resembling a ladies'
slipper. The juice of this plant, if
rubbed on the affected part, will
prevent the poison ivy from taking
effect.
