THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The Ten Commandet,ts were given 1498 B.C. The Sermon on the Mount was uttered by our Lord in the summer of A.D. 28, and the incident recorded at Capernauln iu the autumn of the same year. Place.—'Phe Ten Commandments were given on Mount Sinai, It is not known on what mountain in Palestine our Lord delivered his great sermon. Capernaum is locat- ed at the northern end of the Sea of Galilee. 7. Thou shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Je- hovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. The Third Commandment continues to dwell upon the sacredness of the relationship that should exist be- tween God and man, but in this par- ticular case deals exclusively with man's speech, 'declaring that he should not take the name ot the Lord bis God in vain. The Hebrew word here translated "in vain" means, literally, "to make use df for any idle, frivolous, or in- sincere purpose." Thus, God's name is not to be desecrated either by false swearing or by being used dis- respectfully for any other frivolous or idle purpose, as in cursing or reviling, or to support false preteu- Bions of being able to use magic or divination, or to predict the future. Another way by which men can use the name of the Lord irrever- ently is by insincerity of life, by hypocrisy, by pretending one thing with the words that they utter, when int reality, they are determine ed. to live a life entirely contrary to what their words would indicate. Christ's Interpretations Matt. 5:33-37. 33. Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord. thine oaths: 34. but I say un- to you, Swear not at all: neither by the heaven, for it is the throne of God; 35. nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 36. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, for thou must not make one hair white or black. 37. But let your speech be, Yea, . yea; Nay, nay; and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil one. The Jewish people of our Lord's day were taught "that only oaths need be kept, and not all of them, only certain forms of swearing were binding. Christ says that such distinctions are iniquitous. All oaths are binding, but , io oaths ought to be used, because a man's word ought to be enough. LIFE'S LkcE THAT To Administer Four'Power Terms Hobby. Source Of Pleasure May Cost Little or Much, But It's Always Fun Before embarking on a new hobby it is necessary to have some preliminary information some- thing of the character of the craft, the initial cost of the equipment, good books of instruction, other Methods of learning, practical uses, and outlets for sales. No one craft is suitable for every woman. An older woman with consecutive hours of freedom could study a craft such as cabin- etmaking at a studio, while a very busy young mother might weave in the evening. Some hobbies such as photography, wood -work, and sketching, a husband and wife can share; others are exclusively feminine. Some cost little or noth- ing; some can be worked at for 10 minutes and then dropped; and some can be entirely self -taus Having a Craft There is nothing new to be said about the pleasures of having a real hobby, -but most people do not realize how constructive these pleasures are or how they enrich every aspect of the hobbyist's life. The instinct for sound craftsman- ship, -carries over into humdrum daily duties; studios, workshops, exhibitions, libraries, museums all suddenly develop to deep and lively interest; and best of all there is a generous welcome from the fascinating, international, and historical brotherhood of fellow craftsmen. Here are four members of the five -man international commission appointed by the conferees at the Munich conference to arrange the program for the pacific uation of settlemen.tceded of thetGerman-Cz ch probleitories and to m accordrsee - ing France Germany and Italy at theto the terms agreed uponre Britain, , TOP RIGHT, the meeting that saved Europe from another bloodbath.

He will have a full vote on com- mission questions affecting his country. When our Lord said that to swear by an oath was something that came "of evil," he either meant that the oath was neceasary be- cause of the tendency to lie in the hearts of men, and therefore in it- self witnessed to man's mistrust of men, or as often is the case, our Lord would indicate that many oaths are uttered to support or con- firm what the one so speaking knows to be a lie, and thereby the sin of the falsehood is multiplied, the heart ot the one speaking the falsehood is the blacker, and evil itself thereby is multiplied in that person's heart. Matt. 12:33-37. Our Lord, previ- ous to speaking the words which are assigned to our lesson, had cast out a'deraon from one who was brought to him suffering blindness and dumbness, as well as this evil possession. 33. Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or make the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt; for the tree is known by its fruit. 34, By Fred Neher 0.9yyri¢ht, 1036, byOLT see, "'Women first? a. ,what. do you think this is, a shipwreck?" POP ---A Musical Ghost THAT TUNE SIMPLY HAUNTS Ye offspring of vipers, how Can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35. The good man out of his good treasure bring- eth forth good things; and the evil man out of his evil eth forth evil things treasure Seealso Mat. 7:16-20; Luke 6:45. The fruit that is borne is determined by the na- ture of the tree. Words are pro- ducts. If a man's life is evil at the center, you can expect nothing else but evil words as the fruit of that life. If a man is soundly good, his words will be soundly wholesome and true. There is nothing which we need more these days than the oultiva- tion of noble thinking, and the stor- ing in our hearts of vast treasures of the finest things in life and lit- erature, a purpose that will lead us to observe the beautiful and to hate the ugly. 36. And rsay unto you, that every idle word that Hien shall speak, they shall give account thereof In the day of judgment. 37. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be con- demned. An "idle" word is simply an ineffectual word or an insipid word, "an index of thoughtlessness, if not of malice." Idle or wicked words are but the expression of a man's character, and as such will form a basis for judgment in the last day, when the things done 5In the body will be judged.

Due to the accuz'acY of response from powerful stations, by just the simple press of a .button, one is assured of perfect "On Sta- tion" resonance without distortion. Besides the "No -Stoop„ Sloping console tuning panel which DeFor- est Crosley originated, the five short-wave bands are spread out— each 0" epti on wide—so atforeign as simple to tune as standard broadcast stations.

MILLAR WATT Gabriel H eatte r A Strean-kl. ned Rural Mail Box Would Be Better Than the Type The Carriers in Ontario Have To Deal With, Says the Sea - forth Expositor. The average rural mail box is a good deal easier for the patron to handle than it is for the rural mail courier, says the Seaforth Ex- positor. There are some perIeet ones, of course, but we are talking about the average, and the door on the average mail box is some- thing that won't stay shut; that won't stay open; that breaks off; that sticks, and that always squeaks. That does not bother the man who is getting his mail. He only has one box to open. 'With the courier, however, it is something else. He has several miles of them to open and close, and in wet and wintry weather that is some job when he has to use a different technique on almost every box. No Door At All Apparently the rural mail cour- iers across the line have experi- enced similar troubles with the boxes of their patrons iButt l.n now they are going to At least, we notice the other day that at the thirty-fifth annual conven- tion of the United States Sural mail couriers, that body passed a very considered judment upon a new streamlined mail box, and the Post Offiee Department is likely to give its approval. The new streamlined snail box has no door at all. Nothing to op- en or close, or stick, or ant•tiniag else. All the mail man has to cis is to press a $neer on the rear of the box and the entire cover swings up and back. Simple and easy; isn't it? We, in Canada, are living in a pretty fast no, go the next thing we know we will be streamlining oi.r rural mail boxes too. Launch New Navel Unit In 'ache Hex{I.r.S.
