LESSON V
THE TWO WAYS — Psalm 1;
Matthew 7:24.27
Golden Text: "For Jehovah know-
eth the way of the righteous; but
the way of the wicked shall per-
ish." Ps. 1:6.
THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING
Time — While we do not kaow
when the First Psalm was written,
the words quoted from Matthew
were spoken is the spring of A.D.
27.
Place — No one is able to iden-
tify the place in which the First
Psalm was written; neither are we
quite sure where the mountain was
located an which Christ delivered
this great Sermon, though it is g:'u-
erally understood to be in Judeei.
In this lesson we perceive life
is never a failure unless there is a
cause for that failure, whether it be
in one's own conduct and character,
or in outside circumstances. God
does not want men to fail in life,
to come to disaster, and the verses
which we study in this lesson are
divine instructions from our heav-
enly Father telling us how to live
so that life may be all that we want
it to he and all that God desires it
to be.
A GODLY MAN
Ps. 1:1: Blessed is the man. By
the term "blessedness" we under-
stand the highest good for man re-
garded as a gift from God, or as
enjoyed in some divine relation-
ship. Throughout the Bible this is
centred in the idea of life. From the
great spiritual passages in the Old
Testament we conclude that God's
desire is for every man to be truly
blessed, to be satisfied with life;
and that God continually instructs
man how this blessed life may be
obtaiued. In this psalm the negative
aspects of such a life of blessedness
precede the positive. That walketh
not in the counsel of the wicked,
nor staudeth in the way of sinners,
nor sitteth In the seat of scoffers. 2.
But his delight is in the law of Je-
hovah; and on his law doth he med-
itate day and night. The secret of
deliverance from a life of wicked-
ness is to be fully occupied with
the things of righteousness. How
can one know what the way of the
Lord is? By studying the word of
God, meditating upon it, teting
one's Iife by it.
HE SHALL PROSPER.
3. And he shall be like a tree that
is planted by the streams of water,
that briugeth forth its fruit in its
season, whose leaf also doth not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth it
shall prosper. The life of the godly
man is maintained by the supplies
of grace drawn from constant com-
munion with God through his rev-
elation. The law of the Lord is at
once .oil and stream. In the one
aspect fastening a life to it gives
stability; in the other, freshening
and mans of growth. The psalm
anticipates Christ's teaching of the
good tree bringing forth good fruit,
and also tens how his precept of
making the tree good is to be obey-
ed — namely, by transplanting it
from the soil of self-will to that of
delight in the law. The last clause
of verse 3 must not be taken as a
promise of wealth for every one
who lives according to the word
of God. but a promise of success in
whatever such a man undertakes.
The man of God is a sane man, a
strong man. a man whom men will
honor aretd trust and reward in the
things of this life.
AN 'UNGODLY MAN
4. The wicked are not se, but are
like the chaff which the wind driv-
eth awry. Compare Ps. 35:5, Job

was Manchuria.
forth in a parable o8 the tree, our
Lord here sets forth, even more
vividly, in a parable of building
houses. Every man builds. But not-
ice the difference. It is not in the
men who build; or in the materials
with which they build; but in the
foundation upon which they build.
The foundation is everything. Hear
then, the imperial claim of Christ.
He says: Take these sayings of
mine, and build on them; and no
storm can destroy your building.
Africa Yields Teeth
Of Neanderthal Man
Harvard scientists point to
three cave man teeth, recently
discovered, as the first tangible
evidence •of the existence of the
Neanderthal man on the North
American continent.
The teeth, believed about 50,000
years old, have been added to the
exhibits of Harvard's Peabody
Museum after being dug up by
Carleton Coon, anthropologist, on
the Atlantic coats of Tangier in
Morocco.

Saving Ontario's
Natural
Resources
13y G. C. TONER
(No, 1)
Talk of the conservation of our
natural resources has become Susie
}unable of late years. Few people,
however, seem to understand the
true meaning of such conservation.
Many think it means that we should
keep our wild life, our forests, our
fishes, undisturbed and unutilized,
,with the natural increase lccked
away from the people. Others be-
lieve that some pQrtimi of these
resources should be harvested but
fail to take account of the compli-
eatious that arise when nature be-
comes unbalanced. A few Ioolc for-
ward, believing bur resources can
yield much if harvested properly
under scientific management.
Conservation of natural resources
means the wise use of everything
that grows or lives upon the land.
It means the maintenance of our
soil and water. It means that our
natural products must be utilized
in such a way that an ample sur-
plus is left for seed er breeding
stock. It means that the harvesting
must not spoil the environment.
These would seem to be common-
sense rules, easily applied. Actual-
ly, they are disregarded and the
result is depletion.
THE NEW VIEWPOINT
The changes that have taken
place in the lumbering industry 11-
lustrate the new viewpoint. The
old method was to go into the
woods and make a clear sweep, tak-
ing everything merchantable and
leaving the debris lying where it
fell. Far too often this debris has
caught fire and when this happen-
ed it took several years for even
berry bushes to cover the scar. In
some cases it required generations
before desirable timber covered
the countryside again.. Often this
fire destroyed the humus of the
soil and rains some washed away
the fertile upper layers. The bed-
rock is near the surface, over much
of Ontario, where fire left a barren
desert without soil.
The modern way of lumbering is
largely selective. Only the desirable
mature trees are cut, the remainder
carefully protected so that another
crop will come ou quickly. The deb-
ris is handled in such a way that
there is no great fire menace of
tinder -dry brush in drought per-
iods. The wild creatures are not un-
duly disturbed and the soil is left
intact. Enough young trees are left
to hold the snow and the rain so
that the underground water table
is not lowered. All the work is plan-
ned to keep the forests on a sus-
tained yield, managed as a crop ra-
ther than like a mine.
PLANNING AHEAD
Conservation means planning
ahead for sustained yields of all
natural resources. This planning•
must include every animal and ev-
ery plant for they interact fipon one
another in many ways. An import-
ant part of any effort is scientific
research because it is only through
the applications of biological prin-
ciples that we will be able to con-
serve some of our resources now
sadly depleted. Trees are turned
into lumber with very little disturb-
ance of the environment by the mo-
dern forester. Our fishes, fur -bear-
ers and game must be managed in
a similar way.

.Farmers Should
Save Themselves
Only the farmers themselves can
save Canadian agriculture as an in-
dustry, speakers declared at a re-
cent meeting of all York County
toxin' organizations in Newmarket
as a York County branch of the Ca-
nadian Federation of Agriculture
was formed.
"If we leave everything to gov-
ernment boards we will be burden-
ed with a bureaucracy we don't
want," said H. H. Ilannarn, secre-
tary of tate United Farmers of Ont-
ario. He said the Federation now
has 300,000 members across the
country.
Mr. Hannam cited figures to show
that average farm income had fal-
len from $1,000 in 1920 to $400 in
1939 and hredictr!tl disaster to the
ration If the trend continued, All
other Canadian industries have a
root in agriculture, lie said,
"The prices the farmer pays for
his necessities and tools have very
steadily risen, whereas the prices
he gets for his products 'lave sharp-
ly fallen," slain Mr. Hannam,, daises
ingg the farmerr`% would have, to, or.
ganize to protect their iaterestte
just as manufacturers do.
Seventy delegates, attended time
meeting and as eounty ergarsizs,
tions were represented.
