LESSON I THE ONE TRUE GOD Exodus 20: 2, 3; Isaiah 45:22; Mark 12:28-34; I Corinthians 8:4.6 Goidfen Text â€" Thou alialt love Je- hovah thy Ood with all thy heart, and with all thy suul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:5. THE LESSON IN ITS SKTTING Titnt. â€" The Ten Commandments were given 1498 B.C.; the passage from Isaiah was writteu about 690 B.C. ; the conversation of our Lord With the scribe was on Tuesday, April 4, A.D. 30; the First Epistle ol Paul to the Cortntblang was writ- ten AD. 59. Place.â€" The Ten Commandments were given at Mount Sinai; the con- versation of Jesus with the scribe took place In Jerusalem; the city of Corinth was located in northern I Greece. 2. I am Jehovah thy God. The most important and the most in- . fluentlal conception that a man can ) have is his conception of God. Our thought of God determines our out- look on the world. The word ''Jehovah" means fun- damentally, One. Who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bond- age. No Other Gods ?,. Thou alialt have no other gods before me. If God Is what ho claims to be, then he must be the supreme object of worship. Isa. 43:22. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else. In the vcr.se preceding the ore assigned to our lesson from Isaiah, God is spoken of as "a just God and a Saviour," I.e., a God who always docs right, whoso word is true, whoso promises are fullilled, and a God who is able to save his people from their sins, from wrath, from eternal doalh, from their ene- mies. Because God Is such a God he can extend the invitation that we find In our verse, ''Look unto me and be ye saved." There is in this serve a testimony to God's uni- queness, to God's knowledge of the helplessness of man, to God's love for man in his helplessness. Mark 12:28-34. 28. And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered tliom well, asked him. What coniniandniont is the first of all? This conversation took place on Tuesday of Passion Week, in the city of Jerusalem. The Pharisees, having heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, gather- ed around him. The Jews divided the Pentateuch into six hundred and thirteen precepts, three hun- dred and sixty-five prohibitions, as mMiy as there were days in the year, and two hundred and twenty- eight commandments, as many as there were parts in the body. Among the greater command monts they reckoned Sabbath observance, circumcision, rules of sacrifice and offerings, and rules nbniit fringes and phylacteries. T!is Two Commandments 29. Jesus answered. The first is. Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God, the Lord Is one: 30. and thou shalt lovo the Lord thy Cod with all thy heart, and with all lliy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. 31. Tlie second is this. Thou shalt lovo thy neighbor aa thyself. There is none other com- mandment greater than these. In reply !o the scribe's question, the Lord quoted Deut. 6:4, 5 and Lev. 19: IS. Though Jesus does not di- rectly quote from the Ten Com- mandments, ho does quote a pas- sage which summarizes tho teach- ing of all tho Commandments, and puts the emphasis first on the char- acter and recognition of God, then upon our utter, absolute love tor Ood. and finally, upon our love for one another. If every living person were just obedient to these two commandments, to love the only true and living Ood with all one's â- being, and then truly to love one's neighbour, he would be living the fullest, richest, most satisfying life men can ever attain to. 32. And the scribe said unto him. Of a truth, TeactYsr, thou hast well said that he Is 6ne; and there is none other but he: 33. and to love him with all the heart, and with all Life Near Pole "Is Really Fun" Geologist and Wife Found The Far North An Ideal Place To Live EDMONTON.â€" A llfo In the Arc- tic with fish and canned food tlown In to them by airplane, was de- scribed as ''Great Fun" by Mr. and Mrs. A. Lincoln Washburn, of Han- over, N.H. Washburn, a geologist still In bis '20'8, returned here after a six weeks' study of glacier and geolog- ical formations In the fur north. By airplane and schooner he and his wife visited a number of points, in- cluding Yeliowknlfe, Cambridge Bay, Head Island, the Colville Mountains, Victoria Island and the Baillie Island. ''It was great fun," Mrs. Wash- burn said. "Glad to got back?" No. I'd like to stay up there. The people are simply wonderful. And there wasn't any hardship. Tho food was good â€" fish and canned food that was tlown In by airplane. It's the way I like to live." At Read Island in the Arctic Oc- ean, they visited Mrs. Ray Ross, North America's farthest north white woman. Mrs. Ross Is the wife of a Hudson's Bay Company trader. Glass Buttons Provide Safer Night Driving R. M. Smith, Ontario's deputy minister of highways, announced last week his department would ex- tend the use of an experimental safety device which is being tried out on the middle road. The device consists of a number of small glass buttons, about the size of a half dollar, placed in sets of three on. short posts about 100 feet apart and seven feet from the shoulder of the road. So far they have been tried on a mile and a half stretch of highway just west of Oakvillo, on the south lane of the middle road. The buttons catch tho gleam of the headlights of a car at 100 foot intervals and reflect the light, the deputy-minister explained. They appear to a fast-travelling car like a continuous streak of liglit that outlines tho road clearly and shows up any pedestrian or cyclist. the understanding, and w-ith all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is much more than all whole burnt-offerings iind sacrifices. 34. And when Jesus saw tliat he an- swered discreetly, he said unto him. Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that ilurst a.sk him any question. The meaning here is that we should have tho same solicitous regard and care for our neighbours which we have for ourselves. It Is really an- other form of the Golden Rule. Je- sus, perceiving that the scribe ans- wered intelligently, said, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." Paul Reaffirms It I Cor. 8:4. Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is any- thing in the world, and that there Is no God but one. 5. For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many. There is no God, no real Divine Being, but one. As In so many other places in the New Tes- tament, Paul la not content with a negative denial, but now brings forth a positive afflrmation â€" the gods of the heathen are non-oxlst- ont, but there is a God who Is God the Father, from whom all things come, and in whom, through tlio Lord Jesus Christ, wo are. 6. Yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jeaua Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him. See John 1:3; Hob. 1: 2, 3; Col. 1:16; Rom. 11:36. Note tho contrast be- tween the many gods of the heath- en and the one God of the Chris- tians. The whole passage Is a clear acknowledgment on the part of the apostle Paul that the Lord Jesus Christ was external in his exist- ence. Our God Is not a rival of any other gods. In him la life, and without him there Is no life.

Says Film Stars Live The Longest Dr. Lawrence Spangard, a Hol- lywood hospital doctor, believes that filni stars live longer than most folk. "My study of film stars has led me to believe that practically ev- eryone who gets into the first ranks of players adds 10 years to his life," ho says. "It is nothing unu.suai. Stars take better care of theinselvoi than tnc- average person because they must bo physically attractive as well as mentally alert. "They v.ork hard, which is good for them. When they re.st they get plenty of sunshine and fresh air." Oh, well, who wouldn't â€" on $1,000 a minute, or whatever it is stars get.

Corn Should Be Cut Quite Low Provincial Entomologist Gives Advice On How To Control Borer Provincial Entomologist, Profes- sor . Caesar, O.A.C., Guolph, urg- es low cutting of corn this fall as a help in the control of the borer and a means of avoiding the un- pleasant task of hand-picking stub- ble in the spring. Professor Caesar writes as follows: â- 'There is a large crop of corn al- most all over the province this fall and as a result many persons will be tempted to cut it high. To do so would be a mistake because the borer is decidedly more abundant this year in most counties than usual and c-itra care will have to be taken to hold it in control. The long stubble means that several times as many borers will be left in the fields after removing the stalks as there would be if tho corn had been cut low. Moreover, it is very much more difficult to plow long stubble under completely and not drag it up again in the spring when working the field ; hence far- mers wishing to avoid the neces- sity of hand-picking their fields for next winter should cut their corn as low as practicable."
