GOLDEN TEXT — Righteousness exalteth a nation; But sin is a reproach to any pepole.—Prov. 14:34. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time—The book of Deuteronomy was written somewhere between 1400 and 1500 B.C. The passage which appears in our lesson from Isaiah may have been composed about 725 B.C. The prophecy of Habakkuk was written, probably, a century later, 625 B.C. Place—The book of Deuternoomy 'was undoubtedly written in the wilderness of Sinai. The book of Isaiah was, for the most part, writ- ten in or near Jerusalem. We do not know where, the book of Hab- akkuk was written, though it is a message to Israel, the Northern Kingdom. Three Blessings. 32. "Ye shall observe to do therefore as Jehovah your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left. 83. Ye shall walk in all the way which Jehovah your God hath commanded you, that ye may live, tnd that it may be well with you, Ind that ye may prolong your lays in the land which ye shall possess." It would seem that turn - him to the left from the Word of Sod would be to do less than 61od's Word commands; whereas Miming to the right from the Word id God would be to adopt a system K life more after the . attern of tome humanly conceived idea of loliness. All life is a walk. What we want to be careful of is that we are walking in the way that clod has appointed. If God has ap- pointed a way in which He wants as to walk, then there is an in - Keaton of God' love and interest In our lives. Three things are promised here: abundance of life, blessedness of heart, length of lays. To disobey the laws of God means the very opposite of these three blessings—the impoverish- ment of life, the restlessness and lisillusionment of the soul and brevity of life. 26. "Behold, I set before you this jay a blessing and a curse: 27. the blessing, if ye shall hearken )unto the commandments of Jeho- vah your God, which I command jou this day; 28. and the curse, t ye shall not hearken unto the commandments of Jehovah your God, but turn aside out of the Nay which I command you this lay, to go after other gods, which ye have not known." Again and again in our lives we have the opportunity of choosing obedience or disobedience. The very fact that Iva have such a choice set before ds implies, first that we have a Moral nature which is capable of discerning the true from the false, the good from the evil. To choose to obey the law that God has com- inanded us is inevitably to bring God's blessing upon our lives. To choose to disobey God's law is with equal inevitability to bring a curse upon life. Intemperance 1. "Woe to that crown of pride. 02 the drunkards of Ephraim, and to the fading flower of his glori- ous beauty, which is on the bead of the fat valley of therm that are overcome with wine!" That intemperance was the prevail- ing sin in the Kingdom of Israel is not impossible. It prevailed also to a great extent in the Kingdom of Judea, "A man's reason, con- science, moral feelings, and physi- cal strength are all overcome by indulgence in wine and the entire man is prostrated by it." 2. "Be- hold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one; as a tempest of hail, a destroying storm, as a tempest of mighty waters overflowing, will be cast dawn to the earth with the land. 3. The crownof pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot: 4. and the fall- ing flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat bully, shall be as the first ripe lig before the summer; which when be that looketh upon it Beeth, while It is yet in his hand to eat it up. In that day will Jehovah of hosts become a crown of glory, and a diadem of beauty, unto the resi- due of his people. 6. And a spirit of justice to Him that sitteth in judgment, and strength to them that turn back the battle at the gate." Nothing is so short-lived at gratification of appetite, It is not only that each act lasts brit for a moment, but also that past gratifications leave no sort of sot - ace to the appetite behind them: whereas past acquirements of deeds of goodness are a perpetual joy as well as the foundation of the present, There is something essentially isolated in eacli act of sensuous delight, No man can by d o willing recall -the taste of eaten food, nor slake his thirst by re- membrance of former draughts. But each such gratification is done When it is done, and there is an end of its power to gratify. 12. "Woe to him that buildeth a towns with blood, and establisheth a city by iniquity!" The Chaldeana WHAT, AGAIN? Just as IVlussolini's propagandists were claiming serious damage to the Ark Royal in a Mediterranean battle, this new picture, taken from a destroyer and showing the famous ship riding the waves of Mare Nostrum, arrived in America. The British aircraft carrier is the war's most sunk ship. are denounced for the use they make of the wealth acquired by violence. They used the riches gained by the murder of conquered nations in enlarging and beautify- ing their own city. So there was an inward rottenness and decay in what seemed strong and majestic; it would not stand, but fell. Such is all empire and greatness, raised on the neglect of God's law, by un- lawful conquests, and by the toil and sweat and hard service of the poor. Its aggrandizement and seeming strength is its fall. Serbs Take Leaf From Nazi Book Yugoslays are showing the Germans that the execution of hostages can be two-sided. Yugo- slav guerillas, said a report heard In New York, captured 650 Ger- man soldiers, including at least 40 officers, and then sent a note to the German General threaten- ing to execute them if the shoot- ing of Yugoslav hostages contin- ued. War Savings Drive. Will Begin Soon Tuned to a "war weapons" theme a nation-wide campaign to obtain increased War Savings subscriptions has been launched in three western cities and with- in the next month will spread over the whole of Canada, offi- cials of the National War Savings committee said recently. Up to the end of September the sale of War Savings Stamps and Certificates this year yielded the treasury $89,373,997. The cam- paign now starting is the first special drive launched since Janu- ary and February of last year. Certificates purchased by pay- roll deductions constitute about ' 70 per cent of the present re- turns. The aim is to increase these, as well as to increase the number of casual purchases and - the number of purchases by means of bank pledges. iBy William THIS CURIOUS WORLD Ferguson 1 a 7,1,z NAME " i2CTT-+N ROW" GIVEN A FAMOUS STREET IN LONDON, IS A COJZRUY i JON OF THE ORIGINAL NAME, "ROUTE DO / R_O1."

By the new Order -in -Council an- nounced recently, strikes called by minorities are declared illegal Previous regulations have for- bidden workers to lay down tools until boards of conciliation have investigated their claims. '1 e new regulations carry the prohibition further. After the findings of the board of conciliation in any dispute have been placed in the hands of the Government and the contending parties, a strike still nay not be cr",'d until three conditions are fulfilled. First, the employees must give notice to the Minister of Labor that they contemplate a strike. Second, a general vote must be taken of the employ. --s concern I under the supervision of the De- partment of Labor and subject to regulations imposed by the Minis- ter. Third, a majority of the em' pioyees concerned must vote for the strike. The Departmen`. .. -/bor intends that when a strike is discussed any one who wishes may advance his opinion. There have been cases, the Minister of Labor Norman Mc- Larty states, where as few as 60 men have arranged the strike pol- icy for a whole plant's employees of 3,000 to 4,000. No measures were taken to see if the decision to strike really rep- resented the opinion of a majority of the men affected. New strike legislation provides a penalty of $500, or not more than 12 months imprisonment, or both, •'for anyone striking or inciting to strike in contravention of the new regulations. 4 Haste Urged With Parcels Time to Prepare Those to be Expressed To Men Overseas Express agency officials are ad- vising relatives of men overseas to get Christmas parcels away within the next two weeks so that pre - Christmas delivery may be made. Though Christmas may seem somewhat distant at the present moment, it is by no means too early to start preparing the gift packages now, it is pointed out, particularly as shipping space for other than essential goods is strict- ly limited. Parcels leaving within the next two weeks will be nicely timed and will avoid possible dis- appointment. Gift parcels by Canadian Express for the troops, other than packages containing foodstuffs, may be ship- ped irrespective of weight, but par- cels of foodstuffs must not exceed 15 poun:cls gross weight. The ship- ment of perishable foods should be carefully avoided as there is no cold storage space available on the steamers. Cash Gifts Canadians wishing to send cash gifts to the fighting forces overseas may obtain express money orders up to a limit of 25 pounds sterling a month, while money to the samg Emit can be sent by cable at very reasonable cost, it is announced. The chief advantage of sending money by cable is that payment is made within several days as against several weeks by ordinary mailing methods. There is also no risk of loss at sea, or by other means. Money remittances to the limit of 25 pounds sterling a month can also be sent to civilians in the United. Kingdom to whom other gifts are prohibited under present day regulations, except to the ex- tent of five pounds weight by par- cel post. Many Canadians do not at present realize this, it is ex- plained.
