Yesterday, for instance, we were told of a new ipla,ce to explore— fifty acres of bushes ::here, eta ,one had ever pieced. The owner of the bush dir- ected us. The road in was long, narrow a.ut uphill all the way for about a anile and a half, Fortun- ately it ea,',.sn't too rough for the ear. .And then We came to the ber- ries--aurl the mosquitoes came to its!

More of the same followod trp this initial-'vasion Force. men frightened women. It was a wonder ' we didn't fall and break our necks for the going was decidedly rough iu that particular spot. But we didn't fall, and we didn't spill our berries, but we did get away from the bees. * * .Al,out four o'clock we all made our way back to the car thinking what a treat a good cup of.. tea was going to be. But alas, the rough road had been too much for my thermos. The inner container .was 'smashed into a hundred piec- es and my precious, life -renewing tea ,was all over the floor of the car. I could have wept. However, Mrs. B., like the good soul she is, shared her thermos with me. But oh dear, just as she had a cup of teapoised for drinking, a mos- quito, whom she had not met be- fore lit on her hand. Mrs. B. snacked at him with her free hand—and away went more tea. Of course we also managed to lose our bearings 'every little while when we were picking but we always managed to find our- selves again in spite of the fact that Mrs. M. was• determined to head in the opposite direction each time we made for the home trail where we ]eft our big pails. e * * And by the way, T wish you could have seen us in our full dress regalia when we set out for the berry patch, Mrs. M. wore a pair of men's overalls, a man's shirt over the overalls, and an cid straw hat. Mrs. B. was quite ' in style in a blue denim overall suit that really fitted. As for me ' I dug up my sou's mechanic's oser- alis. We really looked quite re- spectable when we started, but coming home a tramp would' have piit us to shame. We were hot, dirty, scratched and bitten, yet we made our homeward way like conquering' heroes, for in our pails were berries, lots of them.—great, red luscious berries, whish, if I know anything, are going to taste mighty good during the long win- ' ter months that will soon be ly- ing ahead of us. * * So there you have my berry ex- •perience. I wonder what has been yours? I hope none of you were too old, too stiff, too .lazy or too superior to take advantage of Na- ture's bounty! Sometimes I looked around at -the tberries—far more than we could pick—and I thought what a sin it was for so much fruit to go to waste. And I looked at the aeroplanes flying overhead and I wondered if the time would ever come when we would' 'go berry -picking by plane. Just sort of drop out• of the blue frain•ilh'e of these. helicopter planes, . hick our berries and away again to an- other patch. Sounds crazy .wlio can tell?' • • .

Memory Verse: He hath made everything beautiful in its time. THE LESSON, IN ITS SETTING Time -1445 B.C. Place—At the foot of Sinai. Spread Not False Reports "Thou shalt not take up a false report; put not thy hand with the Wicked to be an unrighteous wit- ness." How many heedless whis- pers, conjectures lightly spoken because they are amusing, yet in- fluencing the course of lives, and inferences uncharitably drawn, • would have been stillborn if this had been remembered! But when the scandal is 'already abroad, the temptation to aid its progress is still greater. Therefore it is add- ed; 'Put not thine hand with the wicked to be an unrighteous wit- ness,' "Thou shalt not follow n mul- titude to do evil; neither shalt thou speak in a cause to turn aside after a multitude to wrest justice." The blind impulses of a multitude are often as misleading as the solicitations of the bad, and to aspiring temperaments much ' more seductive. There is indeed a strange inagnetism'in the voice of the public. Every orator kuows that a great assembly acts upon the speaker as really as he acts upon it, Its emotions are like a rush of waters to sweep hint away, beyond his intentions or his or- dinary powers. Yet he is the srtongest individual there; no other has at all the same oppor- tunity for self-assertion, and there- fore its power over others must be more complete than over him. Peaceful Contact of Foes "Neither shalt thou favor a poor man in his cause. To countenance or honor the poor man in his pause is to connive at his criminality from a mistaken •compassion for his poverty. This rule is extended to the rich as well as the poor. in Leviticus 19: 15 "If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his ass going astray,' thou shalt surely bring it back to him again," He that meets his enemy's beast going astray is not only not to be silent on the subject, but not to refrain from interfering. He is to bring back the straying animal to his enemy, as if he 'were a friend- ly brother. "If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lying under his bur- den, thou shalt forbear to leave htlp,, thou shalt surely release it with him," In this verse there is a climax: the enemly (one hated) • le actively hostile. The beast is in ixpre :distress; .and the help .ex- tenseto peaceful Contact of the joetl.,, `i lie suggestion, is, that hands wouldhave to meet in jointly rais- ing tixe fallen 'ass. The Needy Brother �,"lYou shalt not wrest the Jus- tice due to thy poor in `his cause. eaeep: thee far Brom a:false mat- ter; alis the innocent and right- eous 'rile, thou not. for•1 will not justify the wicked." We return again to truthfulness of speech. The needy and dependent are ex- posed' to oppression and injustice in a selfish world. But the man of God is not to wrest the judgment of • the needy. Thy needy, thy brother who is needy. This touches the feelings of a common human- ity. "And thou shalt take no bribe; for ,a .bribe bindeth them that have sight, and perverteth the • words of the righteous." This pass- age refers to bribery, and how ' true, .it is! Gifts have been the cause for false decisions in court, for favors in universities, for un- fairness in business relationships, and for many other unjust acts on the part of men—giving favors to those' wlio deserve not, and keep- ing back honors from those who• are entitled to them. ".And a sojourner shalt thou not oppress: for ye know the heart of a sojourner, seeing ye were so- journers in the land of Egypt." This vesA is a repetition of 22:21, but the precept is there addressed to the people at large, while it is here addressed to the judges in reference to their official duties. Law Leads To Christ "But before, faith came, we were kept in ward under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. So that the, ,law is become our tutor to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a tutor. For eye are all sons of God, through faith, in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ did put on Christ. There can 'be nei- ther esther Jew nor Greek, there can be neither bond nor free, there can be no male and female; for ye all are one man in Christ Jesus." Paul insists that the law had kept the Jews in the state of children under age, or at best had served as a tutor to prepare them for the acceptance of Christ. On the other hand, faith in Christ had brought them into the position of full- grown sons, to whom belonged the --dirlvvilege of free access to the Father, into whose hearts God had sent the Spirit of His Son, and who had indeed entered upon their rightful heritage. Law Fulfilled In Love "For ye, brethren, were palled for freedom; only use not your freedom for an occasion to the flesh, but through love be servants one to another. For the Whole law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." The Apostle here means to say that just be- cause we are not under the law but under grace, we are not to live as we please, to satisfy our own selfish instincts and desires, • but we are to live in love for one another.
