Zurich Herald, 1938-10-27, Page 3Sunday School Lesson LESSON V PERSONAL RIGHTS AND WHERE THEY END (International Temperance Sun- day).—Ecclesiastes 2: 1-3, 10, 11; Romans 6: 17-23; 14: 21. GOLDEN TEXT What then? shall we sin, because we are not under law, but under grace? God forbid. Romans 6: 15. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time,—The book of Ecclesiastes was written sometime late in Solomon's life, perhaps between 985 and 995 B.C.; the epistle of Paul to the Romans was written in A.D. 60. Place.—We do not know where Solomon wrote the book of Ec- clesiastes, probably in the city of Jerusalem. The epistle of Paul to the Romans was written from Corinth, that great city of Greece, to the Christians in Rome, the capital of the world in Paul's day. In the first chapter of this book Solomon has recorded the failure of his search for contentment and abounding joy in the pursuit of wisdom. He now turns from the pursuit of wisdom to the pursuit of pleasure. I. I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove thee with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure: and, be- hold, this also was vanity. Solo- mon here records a monologue, the result of talking with his own heart. The pursuit of this search led him to the same conclusion as the previous search after wisdom, namely, that it was all in vain. 2. I said of laughter, It is mad; and of mirth, What doeth it? Heart -Searching 3. I searched in my heart. The language implies a most intense study, as well as effort, to solve' a difficult problem. How to cheer my flesh with wine. My heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their life. Solomon says that, while he ex- pects to give himself to the pleas- ure of wine, yet he is going to do so under the restraining influence of the wisdom which he had pur- sued in the preceding chapter. In other words, he was going to be both wise and foolish. 10. And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them; I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor; and this was my portion from all my labor. And Found Empty 11. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had lab- ored to do. And, behold, all was vanity and .. striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun. Again Solomon is forced to confess that all this vast activity, these great successive undertak- ings turned out to be emptiness and turned out to be emptiness and vanity, as the pursuit of wisdom and the pursuit of wine hal done before. In the verse immediately pre- ceding the section in this chapter assigned to our lesson, Paul an- nounces the principle that we are the slaves of that principle to which we yield obedience. 17. But thanks be to God, that, whereas ye were servants of sin. All men by nature, by habit, 'by act, by the yielding of their wills, are slaves to sin; but, when a man accepts the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the deliverer from sin, he can praise God that this enslavement to sin was in the past, and does not continue into the present. Ye became obedient from the heart. To that form of teaching where- unto ye were delivered. The guid- ing principles learnt from the preaching of the gospel. Servant of Righteousness 18. And being made free from sin, ye became servants of right- eousness. There is no intermed- iate moral condition between the one service and the other. Only as slaves of righteousness can we cease to be slaves of sin. 19. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your .flesh. Nearly all sin ul- Descendants Of World's First Inhabitants New Tribe of Aborigines, Noted For Beauty, Is Discovered By Australian Explorer Fred Blakeley, noted Australian author and explorer, has returned from the interior with the an- nouncement that he has discov- ered a new tribe of aborigines that represent "the purest des- cendants of the earth's original in- habitants." He advocates the establishment of the tribal territory into a re- serve that would be kept free from missionaries, prospectors and mounted police, in order that the tribe may retain its purity and ° continue to develop in a natural manner. He declared the women are beautiful and the men of magnifi- cent physique. The skins of the tribe are so light that they use charcoal for marking their bodies. "The girls have lithe bodies and tiny feet," he said, "and if some of them were to walk along the city beaches they would cause a sensation." Blakeley declared it is probably the last chance the world will ever have to see a native tribe develop normally, without taking on any of th "bad characteristics of mod- ern civilization" if it can just be kept on its own preserve free from outside influences. Cow Dentifrice A number of cows in the Voro- shilovgrad district of Russia are now eating their food aided by false teeth. timately is achieved by the action of some part of the body. As ser- vants to uncleanness and to in- iquity unto iniquity. The first word means moral defilement of the man within himself and the second word refers to the viola- tion of the divine law w4thout a man. Even so now present your membera as servants to righteous- ness unto sanctification. Here Paul commends a definite yield- ing of all the members of the Christian's body to obedience to r ghtenusness, i.e., to the right- eous law of God. 20. For when ye were servants of sin, ye were free in regard of righteousness. When we were un- redeemed, living under the power of sin, we paid no attention to righteousness. 21. What fruit then had ye at that time in the things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. The probable meaning here will thus be, I) cl you find any happiness or profit resulting? The "Wages" of Sin 22. But now being made free from sin and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto sanctification, and the end eternal life 23. For the wages of sin is death; but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our. Lord. The word "wages" strictly denotes pay for military service. Death in its most awful sense is no mole than the reward and the result of sin; and sin is nothing less than a conflict against God. Rom. 14: 21. It is good .not to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor to do anything whereby thy, -brother stumbleth. For a full presentation of this principle see 1 Cor. 8: 12; 9: 20-23. Paul says, we are to live so that our brother will not judge i11 of us, or see us do anything which raises a scruple in his own heart. There was never a time when such a lofty ideal for guiding the life of a Christian was so needed as today. YOU CAN ATTRACT MEN Don't let Love and romance pass you by.

By FRE DBIIE TEE Hotel Telephone Operator Introducing Duane Thompson, the "Hollywood Hotel" telephone operator whose voice lias launched four years of these programs each Friday over the Columbia network (WABC-CBS, 9:00 to 10.00 p.m., EST) Duane is a native of Red Oak, Iowa, and was raised in San Frau- cis co. rau- cisco. Although she studied to be a dancer, she found herself in pictures in an entirely dif- ferent role, that of a comedienne. Rad- io claimed her just about this time and she has served at the switchboard of this famous hostel- ry since, announc- ing the weekly fea- ture in the "Orch- id Room" and the stars from the mo- tion picture world who are featured in the dramatizations.

Five individual channels, each ex- tended to 9% inches long are de- voted to each short-wave band so that instead of only having % of an inch, as on old radios to try t.nd tune in all of the foreign stations 416n the 31 metre band, these new Majority Of Fires C Be Prevented Survey Shows 80% of Blazes Could Have Been Avoided A careful study of fire records shows that at least 30 per cent. of fires are preventable. The follow- ing examples are given from among the thousands of known causes to show how easy fires can start and the fatal results that may follow. A man dropped a cigarette in a rubbish pile in a rooming house and burned to death eleven people. A mother in one of our leading cities, for the five' hundredth time perhaps, started a fire with coal oil. The fire she started burned to death three children besides her- self. • Man attempted to sleep and smoke at the same time—results he set bed afire, was overcome with smoke, and removed in an uncon- scious state. Only the timely ar- rival of the fire department saved him from being cremated alive. Do you always think about the safety and welfare of those about you when you discard your match and cigarette stub? Are you mind- ful of the safety of the children in your home to the extent of providing• safety matches, and keeping them out of their reach? Do you have proper respect for the dangerous properties of gasoline and always handle it with care? LSCULAR RHEUMATIC PAS —ACHES It takes more than "just a salve" to bring relief.

C. Fields when the bulbous -nosed com- edian who is heard from Hollywood joined the "Hit Parade" for a ser- ,es of appearances which started Sat- arday, October 15. Goodman, pictured here used to direct the orchestra in the majority of Fields' productions on Broadway. A Goodman musical headliner for the past fifteen years, the "Hit Parade" maestro has the unique record of having di- rected the scores of 165 musical comedies before turning to radio. A musical child prodigy and a grad- uate of the Peabody Institute, Goodman is equally at home con- ducting opera or modern dance music. He is reputed to have one of the most complete musical lib- raries in existence in this country to -day. "Your Hit Parade" is heard over the WABC-Oolumbia network every Saturday from 10:00 to 10:45 p.m., EST. Al Radio Goes To Shakespeare The Canadian Broadcasting Cor- poration have really "got some- thing" in the presentation of the el- even plays by William Shakes- peare. This is one of the few big "scoops" to be originated and broadcast right across Canada by a Canadian station. If you haven't lis- tened to these, I recommend you listen in at 9:00 o'clock Sunday nights to any CBC station.

Dryden, 217 Day St., Toronto Plant Bulbs Irregularly Some Can Be Left in Ground and Will Multiply No matter on how small a scale bulbs are naturalized, they must bo planted in an irregular fashion, An old Dutch bulb planter advo- cates a simple system: "Take a handful of bulbs and drop them on the ground about where you wish to plant them. Let them roll, and then plant each one just where it lies." Some of these spring flowering bulbs may •be left in the ground and will multiply, thus building the initial purchase into an •in- creasing investment of beauty and enjoyment. Daffodils and Crocuses There are, of course, the daffo- dils that should be planted to get the best results before October is well under way. Nothing brings out their beauty like deep green grass but the short -cupped varie- ties are best kept separate from the "trumpets" if the former are to show to full advantage. Then there is the more colorful picture provided by the crocuses the gayest messengers of spring. They too can be left undisturbed for years, and there is the whole month of October in which .to plant them.
