LESSON I
THE ONE TRUE GOD
Exodus 20: 2, 3; Isaiah 45:22;
Mark 12:28.34; i Corinthians 8;4,6
Golden. Text—Thou shalt love Je-
hovah thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all
thy might. Deuteronomy 6:5.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time.—The Ton Commandments
were given 1.498 B.C.; the passage
from Isaiah was written about 690
B.C.; the conversation of our Lord
with the scribe was on Tuesday,
April 4, A.D, 30; the First Epistle
of Paul to the Corinthians was writ-
ten A.D. 59.
Place.—The Ten Commandments
were given at Mount Sinai; the con-
versation of Jesus with the scribe
took place in Jerusalem; the city
of Corinth was located in northern
Greece.
2. I am Jehovah thy God. The
most important and the most in-
fluential conception that a man can
have is his conception of God. Our
thought of God determines our out-
look on the world.'
The word "Jehovah" means fun-
damentally, One.
Who brought thee out of the land
of Egypt, out of the house of bond-
age.
No Other Gods
3. Thou shalt have no other gods
before me, If God is what he claims
to be, then lie must be the supreme
object of worship,
isa. 45:22. Look unto me, and be
ye saved, all the ends of the earth; ,
for I am God, and there is none
else. In the verse preceging the
one assigned to our lesson from
Isaiah, God is spoken of as "a just
God and a Saviour," i.e., a God who
always does right, whose word is
true, whose promises are fulfilled,
and a God who is able to save his
people from their sins, from wrath,
from eternal death, from their ene-
mies. Because God is such a God
he can extend the invitation that
we find in our verse, "Look unto
me and be ye saved," There is in
this serve a testimony to God's uni-
queness, to God's knowledge of the
helplessness of man, to God's love
for man in his helplessness.
Mark 12:28-34. 28. And one of
the scribes came, and heard them
questioning together, and knowing
that lie had answered them well,
asked him, What commandment is
the first of all? This conversation
took place on Tuesday of Passion
Week, in the city of Jerusalem. The
Pharisees, having heard that Jesus
had silenced the Sadducees, gather-
ed around him. The Jews divided
the Pentateuch into six hundred
and thirteen precepts, three hun-
dred and sixty-five prohibitions, as
many as there were days in the
year, and two hundred and twenty-
eight commandments, as many as
there were parts in the body.
Among the greater commandments
they reckoned Sabbath observance,
circumcision, rules of sacrifice and
offerings, and rules about fringes
and phylacteries.
The Two Commandments
29. Jesus answered, The first is,
Hear, 0 Israel; The Lord our God,
the Lord is one: 30. and thou shalt
love the Lord thy God with all thy
heart, and with all thy soul, and
with all thy mind, and with all thy
strength. 31. The second is this,
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as
thyself. There is none other com-
mandment greater than these, In
reply to the scribe's question, the
Lord quoted Deut, 6:4, 5 and Lev.
19:18. Though Jesus does not di-
rectly quote from the Ten Com-
mandments, he does quote a pas-
sage which summarizes the teach-
ing of all the Commandments, and
puts the emphasis first on the char-
acter and recognition of God, then
upon our utter, absolute love for
God, and finally, upon our love for
one another. If every living person
were just obedient to these two
commandments, to love the only
true and living God with all one's
being, and then truly to love one's
neighbour, he would be living the
fullest, richest, most satisfying life
men can ever attain to.
32. And the scribe said unto him,
Of a truth,- Teacher, thou hast well
said that he is one; and there is
none other but he: 33. and to love
him with all the heart, and with. all

Geologist and Wife Found The
Far North An Ideal Place
To Live
EDMONTON.—A life In the An-
tis With fish and canned food flown
in to them by airplane, was de-
scribed as "Great run" by Mr, and
Mrs. A. Lincoln Washburn, of Han -
ever; N.H.
Washburn, a geologist still in his
'20's, returned here atter a six
weeks' study of glacier and geolog-
ical formations in the far north, By
airplane and schooner he and his
wife visited a cumber of points, in-
cluding Yellowknife, Cambridge
Bay, Read Island, the Colville
Mountains, Victoria Island and the
Baillie Island.
"It was great fun," Mrs. Wash-
burn said. "Glad to get back?" No.
I'd like to stay up there. The people
are simply wonderful, And there
wasn't any hardship. The food was
good — fish and canned food that
was flown in by airplane. It's the
way I like to live."
At Read Island in the Arctic Oc-
ean, they visited Mrs. Ray Ross,
North America's farthest north
white woman. Mrs. Ross is the wife
of a Hudson's Bay Company trader.
Glass 1pr ;ttons
Pr :vide Sager
Night Driving
R. M. Smith, Ontario's deputy
minister of highways, announced
last week his department would ex-
tend the use of an experimental
safety device which is being tried
out on the middle road.
The device consists of a number
of small glass buttons, about the
size of a half dollar, placed in sets
of three on short posts about 100
feet apart and seven feet from the
shoulder of the road. So far they
have been tried on a mile and a
half stretch of highway just west
of Oakville, on the south lane of the
middle road.
The buttons catch the gleam of
the headlights of a car at 100 foot
intervals and reflect the light, the
deputy-ministe'r explained. They
appear to a fast -travelling car like
a continuous streak of light that
outlines the road clearly and shows
up any pedestrian or cyclist.
the understanding, and with all the
strength, and to love his neighbour
as himself, is much more than all
whole burnt -offerings and sacrifices.
34. And when Jesus saw that he an-
swered discreetly, he.said unto him,
Thou art not far from the kingdom
of God. And no man after that
durst ask him any question. The
meaning here is that we should
have the same solicitous regard and
care for our neighbours which we
have for ourselves. It is really an-
other
nother form of the Golden Rule. Je-
sus, perceiving that the scribe ans-
wered intelligently, said, "You are
not far from the kingdom of God"
Paul Reaffirms It
'1 Cor. 3:4. Concerning therefore
the eating of things sacrificed to
idols, we know that no idol is any-
thing in the world, and that there
is no God but one. 5. For though
there be that are called gods,
whether in heaven or on earth; as
there are gods many, and lords
many. There is no God, no real
Divine Being, but one. As in so
many other places in the New Tes-
tament, Paul is not content with a
negative denial, but now brings
forth a positive affirmation—the
gods of the heathen are non-exist-
ent, but there is a God who is God
the Father, from whom all things
come, and in whom, through the
Lord Jesus Christ, we are.
6. Yet to us there is one God, the
Father, of whom are all things, and
we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus
Christ, through whom are all
things, and we through him. See
John 1:3; Heb. 1: 2, 3; Col. 1:16;
Rom. 11:36. Note the contrast be-
tween the many gods of the heath-
en and the one God of the Chris-
tians. The whole passage is a clear
acknowledgment on the part of the
apostle Paul that the Lord Jesus
Christ was external in his exist-
ence. Our God is not a rival of any
other gods. In him Is life, and
without him there is no life.

ant is their exclusive six indi-

Says Film Stars
Live The Longest
Dr. Lawrence Spangard, a Hol-
lywood hospital doctor, believes
that film stars live longer than
most folk,
"My study of film stars has led
me to believe that practically ev-
eryone who gets into the first
ranks of players adds 10 years to
his life," he says.
"It is nothing unusual. Stars
take better care of themselves
than the average person because
they must be physically attractive ,
as well as mentally alert.
"They work hard which is •
good for them./Whi they rest
they get plenty of sunshine and
fresh air,"
Oh, well, who wouldn't - on
$1,000 a minute, or whatever it is
stars get.

Corn Should Be
Cut Q ,itLow
Provincial Entomologist Gives
Advice On How To
Control Borer
Provincial Entomologist, Profes-
sor . Caesar, 0.A.C., Guelph, urg-
es low cutting of corn this fall as
a help in the control of the borer
and a means of avoiding the un-
pleasant task of hand-picking stub-
ble in the spring. Professor Caesar
writes as follows:
"There is a large crop of corn al-
most all over the province this fail
and as a result many persons will
be tempted to cut it high. To do so
would be a mistake because the
borer is decidedly more abundant
this year in most counties than
usual and extra care will have to
be taken to hold it in control. The
long stubble means that several
times as many borers will be left
in the fields after removing the
stalks as there would be if the corn
had been cut low. Moreover, it is
very much more difficult to plow
long stubble under completely and
not drag it up, again in the spring
when working the field; hence far-
mers wishing to avoid the neces-
sity of hand-picking their fields for
next winter should cut their corn
as low as practicable."

bitten by a rattlesnake' near Bala
last week is "doing nicely" today
. at the Hospital for Sick Children,
Toronto. The boy was bitten on a
fishing trip with his father, brother
and cousin.

butter v: ere applied at once and
the boy was taken 12 miles to
Bala where Dr. Lindenfeld slashed
the bite and applied a tourniquet.
The doctor then drove the 'ooy to

boy's leg was the size of a man's.
The hospital reported all that was
needed additionally then was an
intravenous injection.
