S. LESSON FOR JUNE 26, 1932 Lesson Topic -Review: What We Have Learned From Genesis. Lesson Passage -Hebrews 11:4-22. Golden Text -Romans 8:28. April 3 -God In Creation. -Genesis 1:1-5, 26-31. -Genesis 1:1. In the first verse of the first Book of the Bible we find the first article of our creed, that God the Father Almighty is the maker of heaven and earth. Inverse 26 we read that man is God's child and as we read further, we see how dominion and power were ,placed in His hands and that God's blessing rested upon him. . April 10 -How Sin Begins. -Genesis• 2:15-17, 3:1,8. -Matthew 26:41. God having created the world, plat- ed the man whom H. formed out cif the dust of the earth, in the lgarden of Eden to care for and tend it. He gave permission to him to 'eat of the fruit of every tree but ane. God's sovereignty was to be supreme. ; , But the woman, who was given to man as a help meet was deceived by Satan and in falling she dragged her hus- band down with her and thus sin entered into the life of man. April 17 -The Call of Abram. -Genesis 12:1-9. -Genesis 12:2. God called Abram to leave his coun- try, kindred and father's house and go fort,11 to a land He wo)x1d show him. ,4:lnam was at'i•dolater but from the dee he 'heard the call of God and obeyed, he became a worshipper of the one true and living God. God said, '°I will show;" "I will make;" "I will bless," and all three promises were fulfilled. April 24-Abram's 'Generosity to Lot. -Genesis 13:5-15. -Romans 12:10. The time came that gircurnstances made it obligatory for Abram and his nephew Lot to part from each other., The character of the, two is plainly seen in the offer'an;df 'he -acceptance. Abram was nwte than gb°nerous and Lot was grasping. The one was hapa. pe in his magnanimity rind the other even {sally suffered materially and morally. May 1 -Isaac and His Wells. -Genesis 26:12-25. -Proverbs 15:1. When leaving the land of the Philistines Isaac's herdmen had to dig wells in order to water the flocks and herds. Twice they found flowing wells but in each case the men of Cerar took them from them and they had to pass on. The third time they were Unmolested. proving that per- sistent effort in 'the face of strong opposition wins out in the end and, as in the case of Isaac, wins the ap- proval and blessing , of God. May. $-Esau Sells His Birthright ,(Temperance Lesson). -Genesis 25:27-34. i Corinthians 9:25. Esau and Jacob, grandsons of the patriarch 'Abram, were twins but were Most unlike in appearance and character. When they grew to man= hood one was a hunter and the other a shepherd. It had ,been revealed to • .their mother that the elder s'holuld one day serve the younger. An op- portunity came for Jacob to secure a prp!miae from his elder brother Esau that' he would resign his birthright to (him. He valued the good things of the present life.rnore highly than the gifts of God so be fell in with Jacob's request and for a mess of pot- tage gave up the privileges of the elder brother in a family. May 15 -Jacob By Bethel. -Genesis 28:10-17. -Genesis 29:15. .,Separated by his own wrong. doing from his family, Jacob, weary and uneasy in his mind, lay down to sleep in the wilderness with a stone for a pillow= -everything seemingly hard and stony. While lost in sleep God revegled •His presence in a dream showing him 'there was a connection between earth and heaven over which good influences passed to the souls of men; and then he heard God's voice assuring him that all his life was under His supervision. Jacob's spiritual education dated from that experience and lead to his 'becoming a Prince in Israel. May 22 Jacob and Esau Reconciled. -Genesis 33;1-11. Ephesians 4:32. Jacob sent a messenger to make known to his brother Esau his return from Mesopotamia, after an absence of twenty years. Esau did not re- turn any answer but at the head of four hundi;ed men set out to meet Jacob. - Fea'h g that his brother might still be 'at enmity with him, Jacob sent out presents to propitiate him, but Esau, brushing these aside, ran to meet his father's son and ern/bracing him, they fell on each other's necks and were reconciled. May 29 -Joseph The Dreamer. -Genesis 37:1-11. -Romans 12:17. Dreams, in Biblical times, had peculiar sigryi,ficanlce-pointling out God's purposes for man. Joseph not only dreamed- dreams but on two oc- casions told them to thelather mem- bers' of the family. The brothers who regarded him unfavorably on account of the father's favoritism towards him, became more antagonistic after hearing these dreams. The father re- buked him for his seeming presump- tion but all the same "observed the saying." June 5 -Joseph the Worker. _ -Genesis 41:46-57. -I'roverbs 22:29. Joseph had to wait until the clock struck the hour of God's appointment before the door of prosperity opened to him. He interpreted the King'a dreams •and gave him wise counsel with no thought of preferment com- ing his way. When it did come he set himself to work to carry out to the letter the instructions given to Pharaoh whereby the famine pre- dicted might be met. . God had not left him comfortless in his sorrows and now, in his joys of preferment and home life God is still given chief place. June 12 -Judah the True Brother. -Genesis 44:18-34. -Psalm 133:1. Joseph put his brothers through !(bitter experiences in order to let their real natures come to light.

June 19 Jacob the Aged Father. -Genesis 46:1-7; 28-30; 47:7. -Exodus 20:12. On hearing that Joseph was still alive, Jacob after the first shock had passed, said he would go• at once to see hint. On further thought he took counsel of God as to the wisdomoof the move. God told him to go and to fear not. On reaching the coun- try Josepla met him with great d onstration of affectioba advi'ied Pharaoh of the arrival of his rela- tives and secured for them permis- sion to live hi the land of Goshen.

Political' Conventions Haiiu American Cities Henry L., Mencken has been at- tending Amlerican political conven- tions off and on for the past thirty years, and naturally does not think very highly '•of them. Nevertheless, he •says. in . The American Mercury that if he had a son he, would as- suredly take him to the perform- ances about to begin in Ohicago so that he might see the machinery by which presidents are nominated and the people governed. ,Itis, of course, not precisely, a revelation to be told that the chief work is done by small groups of politician's, perhaps in ho- tel rooms miles from the conven- tion hall, or "Perhaps in some less re- putable boudoirs. 'Mr. Mencken says that most of the delegates do not know what is going on. Frequently iihesa press up to the stables where the reporters are sitting to \ask then what it is all 'about. Now and -then the leader of .a state deputation will force his way into the hall, whisper a few directions to a lieutenant and disappear, while the ordinary dele- gates stare in"bewildernrent. They remain in this state until the lieu- tenant tells them what they are to do- next. Then they do it. The rea- son for their complete docility and lack of initiative is to be found in the fact that, if they are Republi- cans, most of them are already office holders who expect te be continued in office or promoted, and if they are Democrats they are expecting gov- ernment employ through the influ- ence of their state- -leaders. Mx.' ,Mencken .sketches with his own inimitable -ardonic humor some of the salient events in the conven- tions he has attended, and if the events are mostly alcoholic the fact merely adds verisimilitude to the narration. Especially is he happy when dissipating the popular illus- ion that it is an advantage to a city to be the scene of a national politi- cal convention. Since it is possible to induce hotelkeepers and some other merchants, by a process scatce- ly 'distinguishable from blackYnail, to contribute a large part of the formai expenses of the gathering, it is plain that someof them at least must ex- pect or receive immediate returns. But as the conventions are held usually in the hottest weather, the delegates, when sober, are usually in a state, of acute physical discomfort, The chairs they have to sit on in the halls ate hard and narrow. They are unmercifully gypped at every turn, and are invariably called upon to spend 1n•ore money than they ex- pected. So they depart cursing the city and spend the next few years in warning their friends against it. Particularly bitter have the Re- publicans been against Cleveland since the convention of 1924 which nominated Coolidge. The delegates and alternates went there expecting to find the town wide open, since Coolidge, whom • the , were to nomi- nate, was ,elreatha ident and they sl1pr llethat the p hibition agents vfdel know their uff. 'But Oool- idge either forgotio give the word' or refused to do it, and the result was that a swarm of liquor law en- forcement officer's descended like locusts on the town and dried it up. Even, the local newspapermen could not get anything to drink. One dis- tinguished ni4ddle western states -man, extremely dry by polittpal convic- tion and personally day to the point of torment, almost collapsed and (appealed to .Mr. Mencken for help. The resourceful .Mencken remember- ing that Rang Lardner was in an adjoining room writing a story, hur- ried the wilting p)rohiabitionist there and presently he was revived. This astounding dryness, he ®rays, did more harm to G7level'and than an earthquake or a pestilence. It sent 1,000 delegates, 1,0110 • alternates and 1,000 newspapermen home with hers AY' ,,•14`,1, J r.NE...24, 1932. rible stories of the rigors of life in the town, and roust have cost the city millioxls of dollars in loss of tourist trade. The widespread (beltief m the, United States ' that Baltimore is so hot that only ship's firemen and col- ored clergymen can live there in then summer was bred of the terrific hot spell that met the Democrats who assembled' in 1912 to choose a candi- date. Nothing but ill fame was de- rived by New York from the memior- able deadlock of 1924. "' The visiting Democrats were ap- palled at the sights of the. modern Gamorrah whin met their eyes. They were scared by the New York cops and by the swarms of Roman Catholic priests who were there 'obviously in the interests of Al Smith, while most of the visiting brethren, especially those from the less civilized parts, were present ro work for McAdoo. They actually be- lieved that these cohorts at a given (signal might fall upon them and ren them limb' from limb. One e nent southern statesman actually told'IMe•ncken that this was about to happen, and was not easily comfort - led. In contrast to these horrible pic- tures it is pleasant to turn to the. 1920 'Democratic, convention in ' .San Francisco. When the delegates ar- rived they found the town wide open, and unlimited first class Bourbon provided without cost. Maybe these were the cause's. precedent to the nomination of Governor (Cox. But ,f he had a bad time the delegates did not. In fact, most of them were in favor of passing a resolution making San Francisco the permanent site of their quadrennial deliberations. Who provided the 'Bourbon, Mr. Mencken does not know but he suspects that it was bought by the city proper and charged to the local ,small -pox hos- pital. Since that time wistful but vain efforts have been made to have the Democratic convention greet in Detroit, but with Windsor so close, and bearing in mind what happened at San Francisco, the party • leaders have checked them fearful (that the outcome 's ulght be the, nd �''idilation of a Chinaman or a high yeller gal roe rrtantically recalled an his cups by some southern dencona Ontario Plums "For Britain. The ten per cent. tariff which went into • effect March 1, 1932, on foreign plums entering the United Kingdom, in the opinion "of Andrew Fulton, fruit growers' representative in Bri- tain, offers a splendid opportunity to 'the Ontario plum industry to de- velop this potential export outlet. In 1930 the United Kingdom impor-- ed 44 million pounds of p'lums,which is more than twice the annual pro- duction of Canada; At present the greater proportion of these plums comes from European countries. In Mr. Fulton's opinion there is no reason Why Ontario should - not capture a large portion of this trade. On the basis of prices re- ceived in recent years, the Ontario• grower would receive prices ranging from 315 -cents to 80 cents per 11 - quart basket .at shipping point. The Ontario ,varieties that have given the best satisfaction have been Grand Duke,' Greengage and (Heine, claude. In anticipation of meeting this demand, growers should thin their plums this summer, if the crop is heavy, Mr. Fulton advises. In his opinion, plums can be packed and shipped successfully only through central packing plants and plums for export must be .picked, packed and pre -cooled in the one day. - Gentlemen Of Spain Madrid wakes up very late. Yawn- ing clerks lay out their goods nn dis- play at ten o'clock. The first mail is delivered at 11, but nobody has ap- peared in any of the ministries by 11 except servants and petitioners from the provinces. The more punctual of- ficials arrive on their jobs at about noon, and since Madrid is a city of officials it can be said without exag- geration that life in Madrid does not begin until 12. Every Spaniard with a higher edu- cation despises discipline and the state equally. "Communism is un- thinkable among us. We are not Russians,• we are individualists." These words were spoken by Senor Lerroux, and any young lawyer will use almost the same language. Ev- erybody advocates freedom of activ- ity and opposes the state. But this does not prevent people from want- ing to have careers as government officials. " After the April revolution it ways impossible to enter any government office. All the .ministries were be- sieged by mobs, not of revolution- ists presenting strong demands, but of . polite applicants hoping for posi- tions. All those who had ever yearn- ed for public office became 'loyal re- publicans. They wanted you to know that they had not•accepted of- fice before because of their unbend- ing convictions, but now they were ready to serve the republic. When it became known, however, that the former employees were not to be dismissed and that no jobs were op- en, the crowd muttered in disgust, "What kind of a revolution is this?" 'Most of the government officials and lawyers are men of some brilli- ance but of rather limited knowledge. 'They know all about the heroic deeds of bull fighters and are more than: ,skilful at whispering poetic words into the ears of the senoritas they meet, But one jurist who worked for the Ministry of Justice was really astonished to hear 'that there was a country called Holland. He had heard the word- but thought • it re- ferred' to a mountain pastil. Another asked me if Lenin were still ruling Russia' and refused to • believe me when I told him Lenin had been dead for eight years. The state attorneys and officials do not make much money, but condi- tions in (Madrid are such that one can lead an easy life on practically nothing.

Jones - - Manager s caballero changes his cravat every day. Nor does he forget his shoes. The moment a caballero has two copa per coins in his pocket he summons a shoeblack and closes his eyes with joy, as if he would like to spend the whole day having his shoes shined. Indeed, when he is rich he has them shined every hour, and in the early Morning when the carefree caballero is wandering home he often has his shoes polished agail} one last time. 'But whereas Englishmen often shave twice a day, the caballero is quite careless about his face, often not shaving it for three days on end. His 'shoes, however, are more important and mustalways have a shine. . The married caballero, of course has a home and numerous children He spends a great deal of time in his house, where his wife cooks cocido an. darns stockings. But who his wit is and where his home is even hi best friends don't know, for hom and family are as private a matte in Spain as- an unmade bed in an other country. The caballero sees hi friends only in clubs and cafes. Spanish clubs bear small resem blance to those of England. Th Englishmen go to their clubs to keep silent and their clubs are dark, silen places. The Spanish clubs, •_on the other band, leek like.shops with big windows in which Iive caballeros are on exhibit like merchandise, sitting in their chairs . and 'looking out on the street. It is a•kind of bourgeois window display. 'Often a row of chairs is lined . up outside •the club building on the street, where mem bers sit and look about them;. But -meditation does not prevail over con versation, and all Spanish clubs are terribly noisy. During the first few days after the revolution, the chairs in front of the- clubs were empty The caballeros were not quite .sur what the word "republic" meant, but they soon recovered their poise an resumed their old habit of sitting out- doors when the sun is shining and behind glass windows when it -rains The more noble the caballero the less inclined he is to work. Such Wren is a true .individualist. In • ere of the newspapers, El Liberal, there is a column of aristocratic want ads of which the following is typical: " young man of noble birth is looking for. a feminine patron of the same age with a kind heart. 150 pesetas a month." And here is another: "A dark-haired ,marl of 24 is seeking an attractive but'no longer young lady friend. He is of moderate means and urgently needs 125 pesetas." When a government official has lost money at gambling he often tries to make good this loss by' ac- cepting bribes. The police have par- ticularly good opportunities when, for instance, two automobiles collide, for in that case the motorist who pays the larger fine will be consider- ed innocent. The municipal officials also do well for themselves. Every- body knows how a certain Madrid politician who was in charge of build- ing new public toilets became rich. He would notify the owner of some fine house that he was unfortunate- ly going to have to put up a toilet beside his garden gate. In Madrid the pawnshop plays a most important role. One day you redeem your pledge at a pawnshop, 'The next you bring, your watch, ov- ercoat, or counterpane back again. Everyone lives from hand to mouth. Olives, coffee with milk, a new neck- tie. Life is easy and empty. The offices that have just opened close their doors before you can turn a- round, but theaters and movies are crowded. The six o'clock show' is' the matinee. The real performan e begins at 11 in the evening. At two in the morning the streets are full 'of people. The caballeros promen- ade, pay compliments to the beauti- ful ladies and criticize Senor Mena,saying that 'Manta is an abler man. The caballero is thoroughly • famil- iar with boredom but he does not want anyone to catch hint yawning. His ` favorite expression is to kill time." He does not drink coffee to enjoy it, but merely to kill time. Time is an enemy. Most of the cab- alleros are very busy. They contt'ol three of the ministries, write in sen newspapers, work in 16 different po- litical parties and are in love with many different women. They•haven't a moment to themselves. When-- one , caballero agrees to meet another at five he arrives at seven.. He couldn't come sooner, he was too busy, though he was actually sitting in a nearby: I cafe killing time.
