tween these words, then commandments

judgments to the judicial law. 2. Which
I command thee --"The speaker is an
aged man, whose venerable head is cov-
ered with the snowy white of nearly six -
score years, but whose voice is still both
loud and clear enough to be heard afar
off." "Moses exhorts, entreats, wrestles
with men, that they may be wise and
good; there is nothing wanting that is
suggestive of ripeness of experience, of
depth and, genuineness of sympathy. He
becomes ahepherd again, only now men
and women and children, . more wayward
than ally beasts of the field, constitute
hie multitudinous and most trying flock.
Read Deuteronomy immediately after
Exodus, and mark the growth of the
man; how his .voice is softened, though
the fire of his eye is not dimmed; how
his tears are multiplied; how intense is
his pastoral solicitude for the salvation
of Israel." -Joseph Parker. Days
prolonged -Compare chapters 8: 1; 30:
16; 5: 16. The person who wastes his
life in sin does not live his allotted. time.
3.. Increase mightily -Moses saw a
great future for them if they obeyed God.
4. God is one Lord -Here is the corner-
stone of. the Hebrew faith. Jehovah is
one. This great truth stood opposed to
all the idolatrous religions of the nations
around them, against which Moses warns
them so earnestly (v. 14). 5. Thou
shalt love -This comprehensive require-
ment God calls the first and great com-
mandment. And by its side he places
the requirement to love our neighbors as
ourselves (Lev. 19: 18). On these two
hang all the law and the prophets. Com-
pare Matt. 22: 37-40; Mark 12: 29-31;
Luke 10: 27. The whole significance of
the scriptures as a rule of life is em-
bodied in these requirements. -Lindsay.
Without love God himself becomes but
a distant and infinite idol. Love does
not reason; love speaks its own lan-
guage, finds its own prayers, creates its
own songs, and sets them to its own
music. Children can love where they can
not understand. Love passes straight
ough the zone of reason and ascends
e heaven where it was created in
Bart of God. -Parker. Heart , . .

II. The duty of teaching God's word

-Beginning with chapter 5. In thine

were to be understood, loved and obeyed.
7. teach them -In every possible way.
In the home, in the Sunday school,
through the public worship of God. tali -
gently -There must be no laxity at this
point. unto thy children -Children need
to be taught and trained. To neglect
either teaching or training is detrimen-
tai: The child is undeveloped -training
is the art of promoting growth. The
child is ignorant -teaching 1s the art of
furnishing the mind with the knowledge
of things. talk of them Not lecture,

God are to, become part of our life, to
mingle with our breath. --Parker. The
atmosphere of the home has a great ef-
fect on the life of the child. Good train-
ing and a family religion are the founda-
tion of a strong Christian character. 8.
bind them, etc, -Tho Jews applied this
injunction literally. The so-called phyl-
acteries are leather boxes with four com-
partments, in which are put four .pore
tions of. the law written on parchment.
These were bound to the forehead and
arm by long leather straps. "But the
real meaning of this command is that
God's law should be in every deed of the
hand, in the sight of the eyes, in the
plans of the head." 9. write them -The
Jews take this literally. "Since writings
were rare and costly, few could possess
copies of the law, or read them if they
did possess them; this command kept the
truths of God ever before the eyes of
the people." The spiritual meaning is
that aur homes and fn fact all our pos-
sessions should be ruled in harmony with
the law of God;

13. Swear by His name -Not servile
fear, but reverential awe, is enjoined.
This was the essential basis of. Hebrew
worship. The oath in the name of Je-
hovah was equivalent to a solemn ac-
knowledgment of belief in Him. This
command is not to be considered inoon-
sistene with what the Saviour enjoins in
Matt. 5, 34. --Lindsay. 14. Other gods
-Moses saw that their great danger
would be their desire to be like the hea-
then nations around them, which would
lead them into idolatry. 15. A jealous
God -God will have no rival. To wor-
ship "other gods" meant that -they would
become an impure people, because. the
objects of their worship would be im-
pure. They would be no better than
the gods they worshipped. By obedience
to God we are made partakers of the
divine nature.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS..
I. "Hear" (vs. 3, 4). It was Jesus. who
said, "Take heed how ye hear" (Luke
8. 18), and •"Take heed what ye hear"
(Mark 4. 24). At His transfiguration,
a voice out •of the cloud said, "This,is
My beloved Son..hear ye Hien" (Ma+tt.
17. 5). Hearing is a. test of discipleship
(John 8. 47). It is an ev3idenee of spir-
ituality (John 18. 37). It is sure to be
rewarded with blessing (Prov. 8. 34.)
IL "Observe to do" (v. 3). "0, but
we had a grand sermon yesterday," a
poor woman who kept a corner grocery,
and had been wont to cheat with scant
measures, said to a lady. "Where was
the text?" "Sure, now, and I don't re-
member." "What did he talk' about?"
"Well, I'm beat but I don't konw"
"Then what makes you say it was such
a fine sermon?" "It was, indeed, for I
came home and burnt up all my short
measure." This poor woman heard. the
word and did it, though she could not re-
call text or sermon,
III. Study the word "love" (v. 5). It is
the fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5, 22): The
bond of perfectness (Col. 3. 14). The ful-
filling of the law (Rom. 13. 10). The
debt we owe oxie another (Ram. 13. 8.)
The path to walk in (Eph. 5. 2.) The
companion of faith (1 These. 5. 8). That

VII. "Teach thy children" (v, 7.) The
story of the erose hese, peculiar fascina-
tion for children. Make the truth simple
and comprehensive. A child was asked
whether she would rather stay \with
Aunt Jane or Aunt Idary, both of whom
were kind. She sand, "0, I like to stay
with Aunt Janie best, because she always
puts the cakes and tarts on a low shelf,
where I can get them easily?' Too
many talks to ehiillren are like Aunt
Mary's Bakes, on-a:high .shelf. Set the
cakes. low. Thee teacher who said in a
Sunday school lesson, "The extension of
divine forgiveness to the impenitent is
potential rather than actual," plat his
cakes too high.
A Christian mother led her little boy
to a quiet spat, and, kneeling, commend-
ed him to Gokl. As she ceased praying
the child looked into her face, with hap-
py tears in his eys, and said: "Mamma,
I am so glad you told Jesus my name.
He knows me now, and when I come up
to heaven he will say, 'Come in, Arthur;
your mother told me about you.."'

IV. Love the Lord thy God with "all
thine heart" (v. 5). Love him under-
standingly, appreciatively, earnestly,
with surrendered will and tender sensi-
bility and all the powers of your being.
A divided service counts for little. J. R.
Jaques says: "During the Franco-Prus-
sian war, I had some experience illus
trative of this principle. Logically I was
on the side of the Germans, believing
them right. Sympathetically I was on
the side of France, for reasons I could
but vaguely define. I had a German
head but a :French heart. In vain 1 re-
monstrated with my heart for its per-
verse sympathy with the French. When-
ever the news came of a reverse to the
French, my heart was pained while my
head sided with the Germans. My head
was right. I would have joined the army
of the Germans. Would I not have made
a good soldier? I could have truthfully
sung, 'I'm glad I'm in this army.' But
if Gen. Moltke had known my heart,
would he have trusted me? Now, in the
army of the Lord some of us have hearts
that are not true. The heart has sym-
pathies that wander away to the armies
of the. allies. So God cannot trust us
with much power, nor use us fox his
glory. But perfect love makes the heart
loyal to God and to his kingdom."
V. Notice the little pronoun (v. 5),
You are commanded to love God, not as
did Adam before he fell, not as did the
angels who never sinned, not as did Mary
who sat at his feet, not as did John the
beloved disciple, not as did Paul the
great scholar, not as did John ISnox;
whose love for souls broke out in the
agonizing cry, "Give me Scotland, or It
diel" but with thine heart, reaching
after a God but just known, with thy
soul, so long dead in trespasses and sins,
with thy might, which may seem but
weakness. Pray him to enlarge thy
heart, uplift thy soul, and increase thy
strength, until all men seeing thy love
Shall know that ye aro his disciples in-
deed (John 13:34).
