The Lesson In Its Setting I'laco: â€" All llio curly (liapters of Deuteronomy ncoiil (lis<'our»c'a Riven by Moaoa on (ho oast yidu of the Jor- dan Kivcr wlioro the l.sraelilLS wnre cncaiiipi'il In v.li.ii aro known as the plains of iMoali C.c Deal 1: 1). '"i'licrclOrc sh.ill ye kci'P all llio conHnandnicnt wliicli I (onimand thoc this (1 'v." H:i;i;iy Is tlio man who has discov- ered iliat he is not n)"ant (o he a mor- al imontor. a maker of morals â€" that ho lias to accept a revealed morality and an offered rlRlileouancss; that God Iks heen so kind to him as to arranffj the whole way of life, so that the wayfaring man need not lose the path. This downldtiiiK of a moral revelation is an aspect of the grace of God. -That ye may liu strons. and go in and possess the land, whith- er ye Ko over to po!!sess it." Strength here prohably has a double signlfi- canc.> â€" obedii iicu to the laws of God will make for both physical sln.'nglh and spiritual stren.qth. The apostle John, speaking particnlarly to young men. expresses the same truth when h<! says: "Yc^ arc strong, and the word of (!.id abldelh in you. and ye have ovo'ionie the evil one" (I John 2: 14). Livlii': selfish, indulgent lives inevit- ably results In physical, mental, mor- al and spiritual weakness. Israel would need strength for possession of the l.iiid which Ood had given her, and God ;;raciousIy reve:Ued to them how they should live day by clay that such streiiuth m:'^l:i lie their .-ibiiliiig poss- csf ien. "Ami iliiii > â-  i:i.i> |.!()!oiig your days in the lanil, which Jehovah swaro unto your falliers to give unto them and to their seed, a land flowing with milii and money." (See Josh. 1: G. 7.) It is quit'! remarkable to notice hen 'S in verse 21, that the fathers of 1 ael, who were now dead, are men loned as iho.se whom God prom- ised would some day possess the land of (â-  •:iaan. and. as an ancient Jewish coUKii'-ntator says: "flei:re wo find the icsurrectidii of the d. ;i'l taught in the Law " Rain From Heaven "ior the land, whidier tliou goest in to po.ssess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence \v came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wal- ciedst ii with ihy foot, as a garden of herbs." 'liut the land, whither ye go o.er to possess il, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinkcth water of the rain of heaven." Kgypt was famous tlirou^ bout the ancient world for its fertiliiy. and we are told that when Lot lifted up his eyes and saw the plain of the Jordan, he saw a land so rich and feitlle that the narrator could inly speak ot It as ''a land like the g:;rden of Jehovah, like the land of K;ypl'' ili.ii. i:i: 10). Moreover, the 1 ui.l or (.'-'s-le M. in wliirh lsr:ie| lived thruugliuut the ceniu.K..i i:l lier sojourn In llfTyit, is called •â- the best of the land" (Con. 47: C). Yet Israel was to liavi) a more wonderfully fei- til(! 'and tlinn even Kgyii!, for. where as the fertility of Kiiypt deiiended U])- cm the annual overflow of the Nib; Klver, the fertility of I'alestino was pendent upon rain from heaven. "A land wl;ic!i Jeliovijii thy God <ai(!tli for: tbi- eye:i of Jehovah thy ''.111 are always upon it, from the be- 1 jinin.i; of the year even unto l\w end of the year." It i:! dillicnlt not to think of the b Iter land In this des iription, and of our Saviour's |)roin i::e. "I go to prep.'Ue a place for you." 'I'liero "the poor and needy" shall not â-  iiek water." for "he shall load them to living fountains of water." "'Tliey shall hunger no niorr-, iieilber thirst a;iy more," "Behold, I set before yon Ibis day a lilessing and a curse." "The blessing, it ye shall lu arken unto the command- Meats of Jehovah your God, which I coniniand you this day." We cannot but think of two other occasions in l! rael's history v.hcn similar oppor- tunities for choosing right from wrong were prcsonled to her. In this very same year, at the end of his life, bis voice vibratin;^ v.illi love, and longing for their wrdfare, Moses said to the ebildren of Israel: "See, 1 have set be- fore thee this day, life ami Kood. and di'atli and evil; in that I command theo this day to love Jehovah thy God, to walk in hi.s ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and his ordinances that thou maycst live and mulliply. and that Jehovah thy God may bless theo in the land whither thou goest in to possess it . . . 1 call heaven and earth to wit- ness against you this day that I have set before thee life and death, the blessing and tlie cmse: therefore choose life, that thou inayost live, thou and thy seed" (15out. liO: 15, IC, )!»). Less than a quarter of a century later, as Israel had come into the Land of Promise, Joshua, in his farewell address, once more ideaded with the people to make a definite, deliberate choice of God and of good, "And the ci:rse. if yi; shall not bear ken unto the coranuiudment;; of Je- hovah your God. but turn aside out of the way which 1 command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known." To choose to obey the commandments of God does not have negative r:"--iilts. Iiul positive re- sults. Tne Sa.rcu Mountains â-  .Vi;d it shall come to pass, when Jehovah thy God shall bring thee In- to the land whither thou goest to poss- ess it, that thou shall set the blessing upon Mount Gerizlm. and the curse upon .Mount Ebal." .Mount Geriziin and Mount Kbal stand on the southern and northern sides, respectively, of the narrow pass which cuts through the mountain range, opening a way from the sea to the Jordan, about 85 miles north of Jerusalem, at the city of Cychar. and near the city of Sam- aria.

To Swin^ Or Not To Swing By way' of Indian runner and pony e-xpress: word has reached us from Huntington, Calif., that a band of hardy pioneers actually have organ- ized a society for the suppression of swing music. And the name of this outfit very appropriately, is The Society for the Suppression of Swing . . . This Huntington group has dis- tributed circulars and has embarked upon an intensive mail campaign summoning all true music lovers to enlist under their banner. "Swing," .=^ay the members of this hardy group of pioneers, "is a scurrilous craze completely misrepresenting present- day civilization and distorting the musical tastes of the younger gener- ation." Maybe there's something in what our friend says. At any rate, liown in Newport. R.I., the town fathers haven't any use for swing music. They have ruled that the taverns must not allow swin^ music to be played. The classics, however, are O.K. Just about the best judges of swing music, one would think, arc the dance orchestra leaders thcni- seivcs. Hal Kemp says: "There are still lots of swing addicts who never tire of this type of syncopation. It looks as though they never will, either." Then, there's Don Bestor: "According to my observations," says Don, ".swing definitely is on the skids. Most people prefer sweet music." .\nd then there is the No. 1 orchestra leader who played at our K.xhibition, Uuy Lombardo. md his say is short but straight to the point: "Sorry but we can't see swing :ii all." And that is that. But Mark Warnow says: "It will never die out completely; its popularity will come in cycles." So that is that, again; so \vc will let you readers be the judge; some like it; others don't, but at the preser.t its having its "swing" and, like ail other forms, we think will soon be discarded for some other brand which will be made popular when a new form of dance comes into vogue. . . . C~3 And About Hockey Just how the radio siat ons could gel interested in hockey in this Weather is one of those things. The lad remains, however, that prac- t cally all arrangements have been lomplcted between Maple Leaf Gar- dens and broadcasting officials for the airing of descriptions of all s;:orts activities for this coming win- ter . . . It's on the books that Foster Hewitt, assisted by com- mentators as yet to be named, will handle all the home games of the Maple Leafs, as well as senior and mother like son," now that her five- year-old Fritz has appeared as an .â- ".ngel in his kindergarten version of "Hansel and Gretel" . . . Radio's Dapper Dan Down in li'l ol' New York it's be- ing bruited about that radio's best dressed man with nary a doubt, is handsome J,}mes Melton, the tenor. The Melton wardrobe, we have it on reliable authority, contains no less tlian 48 suits, 39 pairs of shoes, 32 hats, eight overcoats and six top- junior O.K. A. fixtures, as well as the wrestling bouts, boxing bouts, etc... I wonder how many of you readers have listened to the conversations carried on between the ground and the air at the Exhibition, and in hearing have just passed it up as an- other publicity stunt; but it is not vo â€" this daily broadcast was put on to show the public just haw much the radio industry has advanced in the past few year?. There is a KrsvX deal of equipment required for these 1 i-ratle-asts and their value run.^, up into the thousands of dollars. For ::ample. in the plane there is a ; -.ecial generator to run the radio t.'ansmitter which is a specially built i,:b for planes, a special microphone v.-h-ch docs not r-Wk up the tremend- ous no:S3 in the ship itself, and a regular broadcast receiver to pick up the ground station; then on ground there is the short wave receiver to pick up the transmission from the plane and the regular broadcast transmitter. This does not include, however, the instruments required at the Press building where the broad- cast originates. It may be just an- other of those things to most people â€"but to engineers who put their plans and brains to work, it is an- other stop towards the goal of uni- versal radio and we think they are doing an excellent job, don't you?
