MALACHI DEMANDS HONESTY
TOWARD GOD --- 'Malachi
Printed Text, Mal. 3.7-18
Golden Text - "Bring ye the whole
tithe into the storehouse, that there
may be food in my house,and
prove me now herewith, saith Je-
hovah of hosts, if I will not open
you the windows of heaven, and
pour you out a blessing, that there
shallnot be room enough to re-
ceive It." -- Mal. 3:10.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time -- The exact date of Mai-
ohi's ministry is not known, but
Most scholars place it between 430
and 425 B.C.
Place — Jerusalem.
We find in this lesson many pas-
' sages reveaing the truth which is
so often forgotten, that the know-
ledge which we hold as Christians
concerning God and salvation has
tremendous practical implications,
and that we cannot say that a part
of our life is dominated by spirit-
ual truths, and then shut the law
of God out of other parts of our
lives; thus such matters as hon-
esty, purity, the question of dd-
lrorce, the question of separation,
all must be determined by what
>G'od says about ti ,`,?roe's "in
thy light shall we $ht.? If we
are really sincere about following
the Lord, we must let his law gene -
trate every part of our life.
THE PROPHET MALACHI
The word Malachi means literal-
ly "my messenger." Of the prophet
himself we know absolutely noth-
i-. ing. But we feel sure that in the
timeu,f. Nehemiah, Malachi was
acting as the prophet of God, co-op-
erating with the civil authority in
bringing about the moral reforma-
tion of the people. By his writing,
Malachi is known as the Hebrew
Socrates.
The book of Malachi begins with
an exposure of the corrupt practic-
es of the priesthood of the day;
and then the prophet turns to the
people of Israel as a whole, point-
ing out in striking language one sin
after another of which they were
guilty. Malachi's primary charge
against Israel was in regard to mar-
riages — marriages with heathen
wives, and frequent divorces. The
prophet again bases his reproof on
the relation of Israel to God.
HIS ACCUSATIONS
Tragically, these terribly guilty
Israelites were blind not only to
their own sin, but to the judgment
which was soon to fall upon them.
Malachi implies that the nation
was not prepared forr the reception
of the Lord, and therefore had not
ground for murmuring at the delay
of the manifestation of divine
glory.
3:7. From the days of your fath-
ers ye have turned aside from mine
ordinances, and have not kept
them. Return unto me, and I will
return unto you, saith Jehovah of
hosts. But ye say, Wherein shalt
we return? S.i'irill a man rob God?
yet ye rob me. But ye say, Whereiu
have we robbed thee? In tithes and
offerings. 9. Ye are cursed with the
curse; for ye rob me, even this en-
tire nation.
THE TITHE
God demanded the tithe only as
a minimum, and they had careless-
ly given him what he claimed —
the minimum — in tithes and offer-
ings. They had robbed God in that
they had notresponded to the di-
vine claim in the spirit in which it
tt had offered that
owed by measurement
ther than in the spirit
of 1d1uTlA tithe is all right if it is
something you feel. If it is some-
thing which puts you in danger
of being dishonest, it is wrong;
and .if it is out of harmony with
your own success in life, it is ab-
solutely wrong.
10. Bring ye the Whole title into
the store -house, that the a May be
food in my house, and prove me
now herewith, saith Jehovah of
hosts, if I will not open you the •
windows of heaven, and pour you
oat a blessing, that there shall not
be room enough to receive it.
11. And I will rebuke the devour-
er for your sakes, and he shall not
destroy the fruits of your ground;
neither shall your vine cast its
fruit before the time in the field,
saith Jehovah of hosts.
12. And all nations shall call you
happy; for ye shall be a delight-
some land, saith Jehovah of hosts,
Do not imagine because we are
living in a spiritual dispensation
we are no longer bound in the mat-
ter of material giving.
13. Your words have been stout
against me, saith Jehovah. Yet ye
say, What have we spoken against
thee? 14. ye have said, It is vain to
Serve God; and what profitis it
that we have Rept his charge, and
that we have walked mournfully
!before Jehovah of hosts? 15. and
prow we can the proud happy; yea,
they that work wickedness are all
built up; yea, they tempt God, and
ttscape. The people who returned
from Babylott seemed to have a
knowledge of God, and to observe

Britain's Children On The Move Again
During the long period of inactivity on the western front, many
of the children who had been evacuated from English cities returned
home. Now they are being eo?icuated again. These children were photo-
graphed at Southend on their way to a safer refuge. Some. British
children may come to Canada.
all things, and that they themselves
were in penury, hunger, misery,
and were scandalized and said,
"what does it benefit me that I
worship the one true' God, abomin-
ate idols, and, pricked with the con-
sciousness of sin, walk mournfully
before God?
SOME CONCLUDING PROMISES
16. Then they that feared Jeho-
vah spike one with another; and
Jehovah hearkened, and heard, and
a book of remembrance was writ-
ten before him, for them that fear-
ed Jehovah, and that thought upon
his name. 17. And they shall be all
mine, saith Jehovah of hosts, even
mine own possession, in the day
that I make; and I will spare
them, as a man spareth his own son
that serveth him not.
The second precious promise at.
the close of Malachi's book for
those that fear the Lord is the as-
surance of victory over all evil,
victory that will be consummated
in the day of the Lord, a victory
that in its perfect form is still to
take place in the future, at the end
iif•'this age, when the Lord Jesus
Christ himself shall come back ag-
aiu to complete his redemptive
work among the nations of the
earth. The whole chapter- is a fut-
ure prophecy.
In the movie -houses of the U.
S. A., the biggest audiences go
to the Sunday performances.
They Must Work
Hard For Glamor
Why Movie Stars and Photo-
graphers' Models Always' Do
Look Their Best
No woman needs to waste time
and conversatioon, envying motion
picture stars and glamorous maga-
zine models their good figures;„and
smart clothes and nice complex`iors :i
because any girl who is determined
to improve her own appearance cen
follow their example — that is,
she is determined enough.
Most of them get more exercise •,
and more sleep than you and you.
They realize that sleep is the great
cure-all for fine lines around the
eyes, downward sloping lines frons
nose to corners of the mouth. It
puts a sparkle in the eyes and it
gives the complexion a youthful
gleam.
They know; too, that no "woman
looks younger than her walk, her
posture. Lack of exercise .causes
the knee joints to stiffen, thigh.
muscles to become tense and stiff.
To keep from gaining too much
weight, the average model or pie-..
tore star eats foods that are low in
caloric content. Vegetables, salads
and fruits rather than rich pastries,
heavy gravies and such.

POINTS ON HOGS
Attention must be paid to at
least four important points be-
fore our bacon will sell in the
top price brackets. They are con-
tinued improvement in type and
breeding; marketing at proper
weights; finishing to No. 1 selec-
tion rather than to No. 2 and No,
3 standards; and production of
such hogs at not more than six
months of age. Each point is very
important, and together they con-
stitute an interesting challenge to
