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?
By FREDDIE TEE
PLAYING SAFE
Although Richard Crooks knows
by heart most of the numbers he
sings on NBC's Voice of Firestone
concerts he invariably carries all
his music to the NBC studios. Ile
keeps such songs before him on a
music rack, switching the piece just
finished to the bottom of the pile.
"The more variety there is in
your life, the more you have to
draw upon in presenting a wide
range of types on the air,"—Helene
Dumas of NBC's Jane Arden pro-
gram.
Conduct Rally
Bob Hawk, left, and John B.
Kennedy, widely known news
commentator and writer, conduct
the new "People's Rally," 3:30
to 4 p. m., EST, Sundays, over
WLW. and the Mutual Broadcast-
ing System. Listeners are asked
to express opinions on current
problems as well as the studio
audience.
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. It's a good thing those
comets and planets were falling on
Princeton, New Jersey, instead of
Callendar, Ontario—then we would
really have had something to wor-
ry about in Canada.
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.
