GOLDEN TEXT — God Is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth. John 4:24. Memory Verse: I was glad when they said unto hie, Let us go unto the house of Jehovah. Psalm 122:1. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The commandments were given in 1445 B.C.; our Lord's temptation took place in January, A.D. 27; the Sermon on the Mount was delivered in the summer of A.D. 28; our Lord's words with the woman at the well took place in December, A.D. 27. Place. — T h e commandments were given on Mount Sinai; our Lord's temptation in the wilder- ness near the Jordan; the Sermon on The Mount was given some- where on a mountain in northern Palestine; the discourse with the womau of Samaria was at Sychar. Our Only God "Thou shalt have no other gods before me." This commandment forbids the recognition of any oth- er than Jehovah as God. This in- cludes the prohibition of ascrib- ing to any other being divine at- tributes; rendering to any crea- ture the homage or obedience due to God alone; or exercising toward any other person or object those feelings of love, confidence, and submission which belong of right only to God." Idolatrous Worship "Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth be. heath, or that is in tite water un- der nder the earth: thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, upon .he third and upon the fourth generation of them that hate me, and showing loving kindness unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments." This commandment opposes id- olatry, that is, the worship of an idol or image of God, or of God through an idol. We are not to make, worship or serve an idol. Anger, jealousy, hatred and re- venge are ascribed to God, not as passions, but as feelings of a holy being in regard to that which is evil. He that makes and worships an idol has lost the knowledge of the true God, This Iniquity is called the in- iquity of the fathers, inasmuch as it originates with them, and is only perpetuated in the sons who adhere to it. The fathers will have to account for their own iniquity, not only as men, hut as fathers setting a bad example to their household. But tho sons who, on arriving at the exercise of a na- tural judgment, walk in the same iniquily will be treated as respons- ible • beings, and visited for the iniquity which they have made their own. The comforting prom- ise is that God will never fail to show mercy to all successive gen- erations .that humbly and thank- fully own llitn for their God. Use of God's Name 'Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Jehovah will not hold him guilt- less that taketh his name In vain," This commandment forbids all ir- reverence toward God; not only the highest act of irreverence in calling on Him to bear witness to falsehood, but also the irreverant use or His name; all careless, un• necessary reference to Him or His attributes; all lndeoorous con- duct in His worship. God Rebukes Satan "Then saint Jesus auto hint, Got thee hence, Satan; for It is writ, ten, 'Thou shalt worship the Lord thy Go& and him only shalt thou serve." Whenever we do what Set - an wants us to do, then Satan has taken the place of God for us, and we have put Satan's will before God's will. Hallowing of God's Name "After this manner therefore pray y„e: Our Father who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name." Of the petitions which are includ- ed In this prayer, none has been less prayed than this which our Lord sets first. Many a pian has cried earnestly and sincerely en- ough, 'Give me this day my daily bread'; many with deeper earnest- ness, and out of a more appalling helplessness, have cried, 'Deliver us from evil'; but few have learn- ed to have this petition deepest in the heart and readiest on the lip, 'Hallowed be thy name: There is something here that strikes us at once. While we ordinarily first bring our own needs to God in prayer, and then think of what be- longs to God and His interests, the Lord reverses the order. First, Thy name, Thy kingdom, Thy will; then. give us, forgive us, lead us, deliver us. The lesson is of more importance than we think. In true worship the Father must be first, must be all. The sooner we learn to forget ourselves in the desire that He may be glori- fied, the richer will the blessing be that prayer will bring to us. No one ever loses by what he sacri- fices for the Father. "But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth: for such doth the Fath- er seek to be his worshippers. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth." No other worship than that which is offered in spirit and truth can possibly be actual wor- ship of God.... Not the outward action of the worshiper, not the forms he uses or the gifts he brings, but his spirit alone can be brought to meet the spiritual pres- ence of God. Where this is done, God Himself meets the spirit which He has sought and prepar- ed, and to which He has made known the truth Iying at the foun- dation of all worship, the truth which reveals Himself. "Hullo Boy" While searching in the ruins of his bombed house in a town in England, a special police in- spector heard a muffled voice in the debris shout "Hullo boy," and found his parrot, almost exhaust- ed after being buried 36 hours. Can Spot Tell -Tale Submarine Feather _ N Then Air patrol 'Begins To Bomb The. U -Boats It Is impossible to spot sub- marines below the surface from airplanes over the Atlantic, says the Windsor Star, in the clearer waters of the Mediterranean, an airman can look down and see sub- marines as much as 60 feet below the surface. l3ut, in the Atlantic any submarine beneath the surface is out of sight. However, airplanes on patrol can spot the tell-tale feather of water made by the periscope of a submarine. Once that is seen, the air patrol can begin to bomb with telling effect. Any submarine commander, who knows there is a constant air pa- trol being kept overhead, realizes that he is tempting fate to put up his periscope. He understands that the pilot aloft will spot the feath- er and begin to work on him. Hence, more than one enemy sub- marine commander hag kept his periscope down, refusing to take a chance with the airplanes over- head. And, if he does not use his periscope, the submarine com- mander has.. to attack shipping blindly, which is not effective. The air patrols in submarine - infested waters would like to sink a lot of submarines. However, their main job is to see that the vessels get through safely and, if , the patrols can 'keep the sub- marines from attacking the con- voys, that is the big part of the job. Any submarines they sink are just that much cream in the cof- fee. Gold Mines Must Be Kept Operating One of the remarkable develop- ments of the -war has been the ability of Canada to -finance its own magnificent war effort. It was made possible by a financial condition In which the production of gold had a large and important part. No less important will be the contribution of the mines to the post war problems. They will be expected to help by producing more gold and especially in giving employment to returning ;'soldiers and others released fromy. various war industries. Under these con- ditions the necessity for keeping them going should not be over- looked. — Port Arthur News - Chronicle. THIS CURIOUS WORLD By William Ferguson.

Clarke ti Feet! F-e-e-t—yes, that's what we are going to talk about today! After all, it is a subject in which most of us are interested, isn't it? Not all in the same way, of course, but still interested. And I wouldn't mind betting, that if there were figures to prove it, nine out of every ten adult people would admit to having some kind of foot trouble. There is hardly a person who hasp'- a favorite corn 'that must be treated with respect, or a bunion that disfig- ures every shoe she wears. I say "she" in this case because most of the bunion sufferers are women. And there are countless hundreds of fallen arches wend- ing their weary way through life, and an equal number of short tempers and frazzled nerves as a result! And What do we do about it? Mostly grin and bear it, I guess— with more emphasis on the bear than the grin. In fact we prob- :»bly look ori foot trouble as one of the many ills to which the flesh is heir to. Oh, we may pare that corn, or stick a plaster on it, and we may get an arch support or a metatarsal pad. If they help us, that's fine. If they don't, well, we just go on suffering, that's all. Generally, from time to time, we hear of some person who has been to somebody or .other, and from all accounts you would think they had had some sort of miradle worked on their feet. But most of us are sceptical of such stories and pay little attention to them. Partner and I have both been a doubting Thomas in that respect. But not any amore—no indeed, we have both reformed, and are now ready and anxious to spread the glad news abroac. that you and I don't need to go limping on.: way through life. You see, in desperation, we at last took our sceptical minds and tortured feet to a foot specialist —and we each came out with a pair of feet that are now ready to g places and do things. And all for the price of a dollar a foot. And what does the doctor do? Well, he first prepares the corns and callouses by placing a cotton pad over them soaked with some sort of softening solution. Then he pares them — and you don't feel a thing! Did I say "pares" them? Carve would be a better word, for as you watch him you wonder if he is slicing off your foot. Little pads, kept in place with plaster, are afterwards put over the corns and callouses, and :finally each foot is massaged with something so cool and soothing it makes you feel like a million dollars. Then you put • n your shoes and socks, pay your money and walk out, with more comfort than you ever thought possible. However, this treatment isn't a cure-all. At least our foot spe- cialist made no claim to cure our troubles. -only to relieve them. A friend of ranine tolls me that she finds it necessary to have her feet treated about once every three months. And who can grumble at that? * And I'll tell you something else. Even to sit in the doctor's office is a revelation, for people are coming and going all the time and it is interesting to note their reactions. While we were wait- ing our turn an oldish man carne out—presumably after a treat- ment. His face was literally beam- ing. He looked down at his feet and he stamped them. He went a few steps and stamped them again. In fact he just kept look- ing at his feet as if he couldn't believe they belonged to him. That was surely a story without words, wasn't it? Well, I have passed this infor- mation along to you in the hope that it will be of service. You don't need the• name of the doe - tor whom we visited because if you want similar treatment all you have to do is look up the telephone directory of your near- est city and you will surely fired one or more chiropodists listed, all of whom will doubtless be qualified to give you just as good a treatment and equally as muck relief as we received at so small a cost. So now I've told you, and if you go on suffering you will be just as foolish as we were—and that's saying a lot.
