LESSON VII THE SACREDNESS OF HUMAN LIFE Exodus 20: 13; Matthew 5: 21-26, 38-42 Golden Text Thou shalt not hill, Exodus 20: 13. Whosoever hateth his broth- er is a murderer. I John 3:. 15, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. — The Ten Command- ments were given 1498 B.C.; the Sermon on +he Mount was preach- ed by our Lord in the early sum- mer of A.D. 28. Place. — The Ten Command- ments were given on Mount Sin- ai. We do not know the particular mountain from which Jesus preached this .famous sermon. 13. Thou shalt not kill. ...The English Revised Version makes the verse to read more accurately, "Thou shalt do no murder." Matt. 5: 21-26. 21. We have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shall not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22. but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall •be in danger of the hell of fire. "Race" expresses contempt for a man's head, "You stupid!" "Fool" expresses con- tempt for his heart and character., "You Scoundrel!" The regular use of such opprobrious epithets Jesus regards as the supreme of- fense against the law of humanity. 23. If therefore thou art offer- ing thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, 24. leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. A man cannot have hatred toward a fellow man, live in sin with some other per- son, and ever think that he can be right with God while these things continue. 25. Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adver- sary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the offi- cer, and thou be cast into prison. 26. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thoc have paid the last farthing. Cf. Luke 12: 58. Ac- cording to the Roman law the plaintiff could carry the accused with him before the judge; the de- . fendant might settle the matter on any terms while they -were on the way, but after the tribunal was reached the thing must go ac- cording to law. The teaching of the whole pass- age concerns the nature of our animosity toward other men. Mur- der is only the final fruit of a hateful, revengeful spirit. What our Lord is getting at is not the prevention of a murder but the utter cleansing of the heart of all those passions which so easily arise in the injustices and animosi- ties of life, as we mingle among other people, that make our hearts to be aflame with revenge, with a desire to do evil to others. Matt. 5: 38-42. 38. Ye have heard that it was said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. The Old Testament teaching to which our Lord here refers is found in Ex. 21: 24; Lev. 24: 20; Deut. 19: 21. 39. But I say un- to you. Resist not him that is evil; but whosoever smiteth thee on thy right cheek, turn to. him the other also. This is not •a fight,. but simply the expression of one person's desire to shame, or in- sult, or anger one against whom he has a grudge. The person so.. struck, according to our , Lord's teaching, is not to strike back, for that would inean that. he has be - .come angry, and in doing so sins. Our Lord is not condemning ,or forbidding the right of self-de- fense, either personal or natienal. 40. And if any man would go to law with thee, and take away thy coat, let him hay+e'thy cloak also. The idea here -is' that if 'a man, for security, or in payment of something due, should demand before the court one's'inner coat, it being presumed that this' was about all that the marc had, in- stead of being revengeful or furi- ous or rebellion. about it, the man should let him have his cloak also, which here, undoubtedly, denotes the outer garment, a large, loose robe. Cheerful Service 41, And whosoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two. Christ's counsel 'is: Do not submit to the inevitable in a slav- ish, sullen spirit,' ' harboring thoughts of revolt. Do the service cheerfully and snore' than you are asked. The counsel is far-reach- ing, covering the case of the Jew- ish people, subject to the Roman yoke, and of slaves serving hard masters. 42. Give to him that asketh thee, and from hien that would "Suicide Car" Precedes Trains In Warring Palestine More important than the "cow catcher" as an obstacle remover for Palestine trains is this "suicide car". Manned by a picked band of dare- devils it precedes trains looking for land mines, weakened bridges and barricaded tracks. The work is extremely dangerous as mining of rail- roads is a favorite trick of the Arab terrorists. Swing Brings Thick Ankles Exhausted Nerves Are Also The Penalty of Dancing to Mod- ern Music, Osteopath Says Dancing to swing music causes sluggish minds and thick ankles, warned E. A. Ward, immediate past president of the American Osteo- pathic Association, in an interview. "The hysteria for swing music and the hopping, grimacing dances that go with it," he warned, "will pay its adherents with thick ankles, broken maladjusted feet, and an exhausted nervous system, unless they recognize its dangers. . And Sluggish Minds "The Big Apple uses many dif- ferent muscles, putting them to a stress and strain for which, in most cases, they are not prepared. These dances are violent ekercise, and re- quire as much training and as good physical condition as tennis, bas- ketball, swimming and similar sports." If a person wished to dance the Big Apple, Mr. Ward advised, the heart should be tested, muscles should be gradually conditioned, and regular care given to the body. He said the dances are throw- backs to the war and religious dances of primitive tribes. Horse Of Future More Like Mule Head of Ridgetown Experimen- tal Farm Predicts It Will Be More Self -Reliant, Looking After Itself The livestock raising picture is changing materially, and the horse of the future will be bred for qual- ities of stamina and endurance now common to the mule. Won't Need Grooming This prediction was made last week to. a meeting of the Windsor Lions Club by Prof. J. C. Steckley, head of the Ridgetown experimental farm. Prof. Steckley pointed out that more and more livestock, especially in Canada, is being rais- ed for purely commercial purposes. "The horse of the future will be the horse that can take care of it- self -the horse that can get along without the grooming and attention needed now," he expert said. Livestock, especially the horse, long has had an intimate connec- tion with man in peace as well as war, he said. borrow of thee turn not thou away. But to give everything to everyone, the sword to the madman, the alms to the im- poster, would be to act as the en- •einy of others and ourselves. Ours should be a higher and deeper charity; flowing from those inner springs of love. Beavers Flood Scholars Out Pupils in Manitoulin Island Dis- trict Had To Row To School Because of Beaver Dam Game wardens in the Manitoulin Island district have been compell- ed to resort to dynamite to destroy dams made by a colony of beavers in the west end of the island. In one case beavers flooded a road at Spring Bank to such a depth that children were obliged to use a row- boat to get to school. Game Warden Harold Bailey of Gore Bay complained that even ex- plosives failed to daunt the beavers. Dynamite Doesn't Daunt Them "I've been using dynamite to blow out the worst dams, but it's no use. The beavers build them up again as soon as I'm out of sight," he said. What Does Today's Young Man Want? In A Future Marriage Partner SPeciiically, what are some of the qualities the up -to -twenty -live. youngmen are looking for in fu- ture marriage partners? Here's the answer, in Mrs. Gertrude Chambers' opinion: "They want a healthy wife. (They know continual doctor bills wreck any budget`. "They want a wife who has enough personality to impress friends, "They want her to be attractive looking. Smartness gets as muck attention with today's young men as prettiness. "They want a wife who will share their enthusiasms. "They want a wife who can un- deistand what they are talking about when they discuss business. (If her ideas are good, they'll even say "Thanks" when they borrow them.) ' "Healthy Attitude" "They want a wife who knows how or is capable of learning to stretch a dollar. "They want to marry a woman who will make a go of the social side of marriage. "Many of them from necessity want a wife who can bring home a pay check, for a while at least." Mrs. Chambers thinks a girl should not resent such demands. For meeting them will keep the girl on her toes. "In fact," she says, "this new attitude is a healthy one all the way around. It is better for the man, better for the girl, and a good foundation for marriage." High Heels, Pie, Mean Shorter Life High heels and pie mean shorter life, says Dr. Sara Jan- son, of Chicago. She believes it is possible to live 100 or 120 years, but "no one has a right to expect it if she will wear high heels, eat pie, stay up later than 10 p.m. and drink less than ten glasses of water each day. We have no right to ask for years if we are unwilling to take care of the body." Are You Listening?

WANT TO JOIN RIPLEY Since 'Robert Ripley announced on his NBC program that he would leave soon on a tour of the world to continue his search for more "Believe -It -Or -Not" facts he has received nearly 5,000 letters from men in all walks of life asking to be taken along. Dentists, lawyers, physicians and men in other pro- fessions have offered to wash clothes, scrub decks or act as chef or secretary in return for the priv- ilege of accompanying Mr. Ripley on his forthcoming venture. Oddest request came from a Trenton, New Jersey, aan who asked to be taken along in order that he might win the hand of his girl friend. THANKS, MR. WELLS -Radio listeners are indebted to Mr. H. G. Welts for the "thriller", as produced by Columbia Broadcast- s ing System on. Sunday night, re- •cently.

THIS THING CALLED "SPREAD -BAND"? The 1939 DeForest Crosley "Mu- sic Master" DeLuxe Radios have the new "Spread -Band" dials'which simplify short-wave and particu- larly foreign -station tuning as the different "channels" have been spread out so that at least 10 times as much space on• the dial, is de- voted to each band (or channel). It makes foreign reception now a reality --sure and certain: Tuberculosis Eradication Should .the present rate of de- crease bo maintained, Britain should be entirely rid of tubercu- losis by 1990, Sir Edward Mellanby, secretary of the British Medical Re- search Council, told the Canadian Club at Montreal last week,. In the last 80 years, he said, the tuberculosis death rate in Britain had dropped from, 3,500 per 1,000,- 000 of population to 700, Scarlet fever had dropped from 700 to a mere 57 per 1,000,000 in the last 50 years, and in the same period typhoid had declined from 320 to four and infant mortality from 150 per 1,000 to 57 per 1,000. • unt Moose With Arrows Armed with six-foot bows and steel -tipped twenty -eight - inch arrows, Arnold Wytten- bach, Jack Austin and PhiL , Sauve, of Toronto, accompanied Chuck Austin, prominent On- tario airman, on a moose -hunt- ing expedition into the woods west of Gogama this month.
