(Approved by Navy.) Boeing SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON 30 NOAH: GOD'S COVENANT WITH MANKIND Genesis 6-9 PRINTED TEXT Genesis 9:1-16 GOLDEN TEXT. --I will re. member my covenant. Genesis; 9:15. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.—The traditional date for the flood is set about 2350 B.C. Archaeologists are now quite united in believing that a great flood took place in the Mesopo- tamian valley about 3000 B.C., and there is nothing in the Bible which makes it impossible for us to accept this earlier date. Place.—We.do not know where Noah lived during the time he built the Ark. Mt. Ararat, on which the ark rested after the flood, is in what is now known as Armenia, near where the Tigris River has its source, about three hundred miles directly north of the ancient city of Babylon. Command to Noah 1, "And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and re- plenish the earth." This com- mand to Noah is exactly like the command originally given to Adam and Eve (Genesis 1:28). 2. "And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every bird of the heavens; with all wherewith the ground teem- eth, and all the fishes of the sea, into your hand are they delivered. 3. Every moving thing that liveth shall be food for you; as the green herb have I given you all. 4. But flesh with the life thereof, whioh is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat." Noah is permitted to eat the flesh of animals but he is explicitly told not to eat the flesh with blood in it—that ie the animal must be slain before any part of it is eaten for food. Human Government 5. "And surely your blood, the blood. of your lives, will I re- quire; at the hand of every beast will I require it: and at the hand of man, even at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. 6. Whoso sheddeth assn's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man. 7. And you, be ye fruitful and multiply; bring forthabundantly in the earth, and multiply therein." Here for the first time, we find the principles of human govern- ment set forth by God. Man is given the right to execute judg- ment upon evil doers, even to the extent of taking the life of the evil doer. This does not mean that individuals are to take judg- ment into their hands. but that society, as constituted by the races of men on earth, has the right to exact the death penalty from those who, chetnselves, are guilty of murder. Man is made in the image of God, and he that destroys man in murder is des- troying that which most per- fectly should manifest the per- son of God on earth. The Great Covenant 8. "And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him. saying, 9. And I, behold, I establish my lovenant with you, and with your seed after you; 10. And with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that go out of the ark, even every beast of the earth. 11. And I will establish my covenant with sou; neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of x flood; neither shall there be any more be a flood to destroy the earth. 12. And God said, This is the token of the covenant which 1 made between me and you and every living creature that is with you for perpetual generations• 13, I do set my Low in the cloud, end it shall be for a token of et covenant between me and the earth. 14, And it shall come to pass, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen in the cloud: 15. and I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16, And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth." The word `covenant' is one of the great Bible words. It means 'a coming together.' As used of a human transaction, it implies a bargain, one party giving and the other receiving. It also some- times partakes of the nature of a voluntary undertaking or pledge, without any expectation of a re- turn. This latter view is its char- acteristic in the pasasge before us, for we read only of God's covenant with Noah, not Noah's covenant with God. God binds Himself, and lays down the line of His relationship to plan. It was for Noah simply to receive this, to reckon upon it, and to rely upon its blessings. Purpose of the Covenant The Purpose of the covenant ,should be earefully noted. It was associated with the assurance that human life should not be cut off or the world destroyed any more by R flood, The approprie ateness of this revelation is ap- parent, for at that time it must have bean a real perplexity to know whether there would be any repetition in the future of what they had experienced in the Flood. Everything connected with their relations to God had been altered by that catastrophe, and now God does not leave lean ignorant, but, on the contrary, pledges Himself not to bring another similar judg- ment upon the earth, Sign of the Covenant The Sign of the covenant is specially emphasized. The rain- bow is now given a specific spiri- tual meaning, and nature for the first time becomes a symbol of spiritual truth, the first of such visible signs illustrative of spiri- tual truths. The message of the covenant was an assurance of God's faithfulness. He was pre- pared to carry out all his prom- ises, notwithstanding all the pre- vious failures of mankind„ Record Service Here is what probably consti- tutes a speed record for delivery of vital Navy equipment to the other side of the world. At 6 p.m. on a recent Thurs- day an order was received at an eastern General Electric factory for equipment by a U.S. warship near Australia. As many workers as could be employed efficiently worked that night and all the next day and night to assemble the equipment. Escorted by police, it was then rushed to a nearby airport and flown westward, arriving in San Francisco Sunday. On Wednesday, six days after the order had been received, a bombing plane landed the equip- ment at its Pacific destination, more than 10,000 miles from the factory where it originated. 1 THIS CURIOUS WORLD By Willis a Ferguson 1 PYTHONS t-4AVE Bl~ 1 t t=K DEVELOPED INC, LIMNS THAN SOME S/P �I EZA RIDS.

Fighting On Dozen Fronts Patriots. Fighting; Axis: PoW- ers Number About 1.,800,000: Ct.errilla armies are battling the ,Axis on a dozen fronts around the world. In Spanish "guerrilla" originally meant "little war" but there is nothing small about the war that today's guerrillas are fighting. The lowest possible es- timate of the world's guerrilla strength is well over a million, and if the divisions. of the Chin- ese regulars fighting behind Jap- anese lines are included, the fig- ure is something closer to 1,500,- 000, The Kansas City Star con- cludes. * * The Chinese guerrillas, of w11om there are at least 800,000, operate in every area where there are Japanese troops. They have their own special training school in Southern Hunan Province, where Picked leaders can learn the tech- niques of swift surprise attack which are the stock -in -trade o -t guerrillas everywhere. Much in the news recently have been the exploits of another guer- rilla army, half=way around the world from China, This is the patriot army of Yugoslavia, led by General Mihailovitch. Mihailo- vitch's men, who 'dominate a great triangle of the supposedly -conquer- ed mountains of Serbia, number about 200,000. in spite of a num- ber of German and Italian forays against them, these successors to the Serbian "Chetniks" of anoth- er day are constantly increasing in numbers and getting additional equipment at the expense of their Axis foes. Currently twenty-four Axis divisions — nearly 400,000 men—have been diverted from the Russian front by 11lillailo- vitch's activities. The main Yugoslav guerrilla army* is in touch with allies in the occupied territory on both of its flanks. To the north in the puppet state of Croatia is the "Green Army," a loosely -knit group of bands who take their name from the green Croatian forests in which they dive. Southward on the Greek border it is in active contact with the long chain of Greek guerrilla forces that ex- tends throughout the mountain- ous peninsula. The Greek guerrillas have a notable record in the wrecking of troop trains and the cutting off of small Axis detachments. Their favorite method of attack is to make a swift attack on a town and then withdraw into the hills to lie in wait for their pursuers. This spring one hand in the west- ern Peloponnesus, led by a Greek Orthodox priest, Father Nicolas, wiped out the last of several puni- tive expeditions sent against them by rolling large boulders down a ravine on the heads of the on- coming Italians. * * * Fighting with the Greek guer- rillas, both on the mainland and in Crete, are a number of British and Anzac troops who were left behind after the evacuation. The third great guerrilla front is in Russia. There the organiza- tion of units for fighting behind the lines began long before the war. In every village men and women were trained In markman- ship and the tactics of irregular warfare. When, Iast year, the Nazi army drove into the Soviet Union, the people were ready. The Nazis Can't Beat The Dutch Here is one of the stories going around in Europe: At Schiedam, near Rotterdam, where the Germans have taken over shipyards for their own pur- poses, a new submarine slid into the water. But Nazi cheers were suddenly hushed, for the U-boat went to the bottom with its Ger- man crew. When a second submarine built to the sane specifications was ready for launching, the Nazis, deciding to profit by past experi- ences, manned it with an ail - Dutch crew. It, too, promptly sank below the surface. But twelve hours later it came up—at an English port. POP—Unappreciative Colonel THAT'S A 1AUTI L1L PIECE OF OLD ENGLlS1-C• GLASSYVAR , POI?

Growing old together is an en- viable achievement usually idem tified with a devoted married couple. Thus it's somewhat of a story to be able to write home about, when two boys grow up together, in the same town in the state of Arkansas where they were born, play in the same band, go to public schools and college to- gether, marry home town girls, and then — overnight — grow old together.
