P-ov. 20:1. THC LESSON I.\ ITS SETTING Time â€" Of courai; we do not know exECtly when Solomon wrote the book -f Provftrb.i. but it ran be rougly esvlaated as about 1000 B.C. The apoft'e Paul wrote .the First Epistle to tne Thessalonians before 54 A.D. Place â€" There U nothing to tell us where the book of Proverbs was â- written, tr.ough. of course, we all know tha: Solomon ruleil as king In city 3f Jerusalem. The epistle to the T;;-333a!onians was written from the c::y of Corinth in Greece to the church of Thessalonica, a city in Macedonia, now known as Salonilti i:i European Turkey. The major part of tliis lesson is taken from the book of Proverbs, a book wr!::-3n. for the most part, by Solomon, and completed sometime after his '^eath. The central, funda- mental wo.d of the book of Prov- erbs Is 'wisdom." "In all its teach- In^ thiBi bcok takes for granted the â- wisdoni of God. anil seeks to in- struct Ecn concerning what God's wisdom veally is. Man is wise in proportion as he recognizes these truths and accepts them in the con- duct of h'!s life. The perfectly wise man is :;ifi one who in his whole being lives and thinks and acts in right re!s;ionship to the All-wise God." Wise Instruction 10. He.:. O my .sou. and receive my sayir.gs: anji the years of thy life shall be many. Solomon is here not so mucli thinking of his own sons or sons according to the flesh, but of all young men, who â- would look up to him as a guide and instructor of youth. Solomon â- would have the young man to know that, by adopting the principles about to !w mentioned he will pro- long tlic years of his life. 11. I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in the paths of uprightness. 12. When thou goest, thy steps shall net be straitened; and if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble. By following the ways of uprightness, the path of wisdom which God has marked for us in his word, we have the premise of freedom and liberty in the .vay that we travel. We do not very often have to run in life; the times when we do are times of crises and these are times of dan- ger. God promises us that in such moments if we are in his way, we shall cot fall. The New Testament supplements this promise by assur- ing us that the Lord Jesus Christ himself, our wisdoni, will keep us from s:-:mbling (Jude 24). 13. Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life. No man is sufficient unto himself. The Lord himself is our perfect example, and we are to fol- low in his stops, we are to learn of him a Pet. 2:21; Matt. 11:20). The reason why we are to lay hold of Goo's will tor us so firmly is be- cause, if we do not determine to walk in his ways, our whole life is foredoomed to ultimate failure, disappointment and sorrow. Folly of Wickedness 14. Knter not into the path of the •wicked, and walk not in the way of evil men. 15. Avoid it, pass not by It: turn from it, and pass on. "Ver- ses 14 to 17 give the picture of the other path, iu terrible contrast with the preceding. Righteousness was dealt with, as it were, in the ab- stract; 'jut wickedness is too aw- ful and dark to bo painted thus, and is set forth only In the con- crete, as seen in its doers. True, negative virtue is incomplete, but there will be no positive virtue â- without it. We must be accustomed to say, 'No,' or we shall come to little cooil. The Decalogue Is most- ly prohibitions. 16. For they sleep not. e.xcept they' do evil; and their sleep is ta- ken away, unless thc^y cause sonit» to fail 17. '."iir li;iy cat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violer.oe. Every man who lives Iu sin contributes financially to the supt'on of sinful bnsincsses. Shidy In Contrast 15. Hut the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, that shiu- eth more and more unto tho per- fect day. Here is one of the most exquisite sentences in all of the â- wisdom literature of the Old Testa- ment. Our Lord said much about the light, and so did the apostles. Jesus said that we should walk in the light, lest darkness overtake MS. Paul frankly tells us that we, born again by the Holy Spirit, are the children of light, and that as such we should put off the works of darkness and put on robes of light. «»«i««tiiiti»»»« 19. The way of the wicked is as darkness; they know not at what they stumble. W«:ked things are black thingj; sia blows out the light In our beans; a sinner cannot see God, cannot discern the right from the wrong, cannot see beauty iu virtue and innocence and honor and uprightness. A sinner dees not know where the right road Is. A sinner stumbles. 20. My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thy heart. 22. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. The teaching of all these four verses is summed up in the last one. Literally, the open- ing clause should read, "with all watching, guard," i.e., iu every way with all possible vigilance and dili- gence. "The word 'heart' is to be understood as the word 'self, and not as indicating a contrast be- tween inward and outward life, for the outward life in Proverbs Is treated as the expression of the In- ward self. The fountains and wells of the East were watched over with special care. A stone was rolled to the mouth of the well so that 'a spring shut up, a fountain sealed' (Song of Sol. 4:12) because the type of all that is most jealously guarded. So it is here. The heart is such a fountain; out of it flow the issues of life. Shall we let those streams be tainted at the fountain head? Virtue of Sobriety 1 Thess. 5:6-8. Paul's entire par- agraph here, beginning with verse 4. has to do with the lite that the Christians ought to live as sons of light and sons of the day. While verse 4 is not included in our les- son, it is really at the foundation of the three verses which are as- signed to us. Light is always a syn- onym for openness, frankness, hon- esty, purity, sincerity, singleness of purpose. As God our Father pos- sesses all these characteristics be- cause he is light, so ought we as his children. 6. So then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober. There are logical conse- quences in our being sons of the light. We show ourselves to be truly such by living in the light lives that are transparently honest aud undeniably holy and good. Sobriety refers to the moral as- pect of the life of a Christian look- ing for the coming ot the Lord, while watchfulness has reference more to the mental aspect of such waiting. Soberness not only means freedom from drunkenness, but In- cludes all habits of moderation and self-control. It does not refer ex- clusively to the matter of intoxi- cating liquors, we are to be sober iu our amusements, sober in our eating, sober in the hours that we work, temperate in all things. 7. For they that sleep sleep In the night: and they that are also drunken are drunken in the night. This verse principally refers to the facts observable in the natural and physical world, namely, that sleep and drunkeaess are indulged In al- most exclusively after dark. This is used by Paul as an illustration of life in general. S. Uut let us, since we are ot the day, be sober, putting on the breast plate of faith and love: and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. We are not only to be wakeful, but we are also to be fully armed, soldiers of Christ. The breastplate is that part of the armour which covers the heart. The helmet is a military cap which covers and defends the head, and is here idoutified with salvation.

Arctic Voyage of Priest Unique in Modern Times With Eight Companions He Ne- gotiated the Perilous Bering Strsut In A Wakus-Skin Ca- noe â€" Wants to Prove The- ory That North America Was Originally Populated by Asi- atic Migration. Father Bernard J. Hubbard, the Jesuit explorer-scientist, and eight companions "dried out" at Ivotze- hie. Alaska, after a perilous 250- mile voyage through treacherous Bering Strait in a walrus-skin ca- noe. New Tory Organizer Dr. J. M. Uobb, minister of lealth in the former Ferguson and Henry governments of Ontario, nas been named to the post of Conservative party national orjran- The party's trip, which started from King Island, was the first such voyage in modern memory. It was the first leg ot their projected cruise to the Barren Lands east of Point Barrow. The "Glacier Priest" arrived just as rescue parties were forming to seek the fragile craft, overdue hers after a week at sea. High seas forced the group to seek haven on the beach at Sinrok and Capa Prince ot Wales during the voyage, Father Hubbard said. Eskimos In Party He is accompanied by Ed Levin and Ken Chisholm, former Santa Clara University football stars, .\olarana, chief ot the King Island Eskimos; Patunak, Jiayae, Tata- yuna, Alliak, and Peter Mayac, na- tive hunters. Father Hubbard reported mem- bers ot the party were constantly soaked by spray as the 3ti-foot skin canoe, powered with an outboard motor, sail and paddles, battled the swirling currents ot Bering Strait. High winds slowed the progress ot I he ooraiak. Around Corner of Continent The priest said he hoped the voyage would prove that prehis- toric migrations from Siberia could h;ive been made iu skin boats sim- ilar to his craft. Skeptics who have doubted the theory that North .Vmerica was originally populated by an .\siatic migration have said that, skin boats could not negotiate Bering Strait. From Kotzebue, t'ne skin boat ex- pedition will attempt to reach Point Hope before going e;istward "around the corner" to the north- ernmost settlements on continental -Vmerica.
