% Sunday School Lesson LESSON III REVERENCE FOR GOD Exodus 20:7; Matthew 5:33-37; 12:33-37. Tire LtSSO.V IN ITS SETTING Time.â€" The Ten Commandftu were given 149S B.C. The Sermon on the Mount was uttered by our Lord In the sum'.ner of A.D. 28, and the incident recorded at Capernaum In the autumn of the same year. Place. â€" The Ten Commandments were given on Mount Sinai. It Is not known on what mountain In Pajestiae our Lord delivered his great sermon. Capernaum Is locat- ed at the northern end of the Sea of Galilee. 7. Thou Shalt not take the name of Jehovah thy God in vain; for Je- hovah will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. The Third Commandment continuei to dwell upon the sacredness of the relationship that should exist be- tween God and man, but in this par- ticular case deals exclusively with man's speech, declaring that he should not take the name of the Lord his God in vain. The Hebrew word here translated â- 'In vain" means, literally, "to make use of for any Idle, frivolous, or in- sincere purpose." Thus, God's name Is not to be desecrated either by false swearing or by being used dis- respectfully tor any other frivolous or Idle purpose, as in cursing or reviling, or to support false preten- sions of being able to u.-se magic or divination, or to predict the future. Anoiher way by which men can use the name of the Lord Irrever- ently, is by insincerity of life, by hypocrisy, by pretending one thing with the words that they utter, when in reality they are determin- ed to live a lite entirely contrary to what their words would indicate. Christ's Interpretations Matt. 5:33-37. 33. Again, ye have heard that it was said to them of oM time. Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths: 34. but I say un- to you. Swear not at all: neither by the heaven, tor it is the throne of God; 35. nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. 3(5. Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, tor thou canst not maka one hair white or black. 37. But let your speech be. Yea, yea; Nay, nay; and whatsoever is more than these is of the evil one. The Jewish people of our Lord's day were taught "that only oaths need be kept, and not all of them, only certain forms of swearing â- were binding. Christ says that such distinctions are iniquitous. AH oaths are binding, but no oaths ought to be used, because a man's word ought to be enough To Administer Four-Power Temu Here are four members of the five-man international commission appointed by the conferees at the Munich conference to arrange the details of Czech evacuation of ceded territories and to oversee the program for the pacific settlement of the German-Czech problem accord- ing to the terms agreed upon by Britain. France, Germany and Italy at the meeting that saved Europe from another bloodbath. TOP LEFT is Andre .^rancois-Poncet, French ambassador to Germany; TOP RIGHT, Baron Lrnst von Wei.^saejker, secretary of state of the Reich foreign office; LOWER LEFT, Dr. Bernardo Attolico, Italian ambassador to Ger- many; LOWER RIGHT, Sir Nevile Henderson, British ambassador to Germany. The fifth member of the commission is Dr. Vojtech Mastny, Czechoslovak minister to Germany. He will have a full vote on com- mission questions affecting his country. WTien our Lord said that to swear by an oath was something that came "of evil," he either meant that the oath was necessary be- cause of the tendency to lie in the hearts of men. and therefore in it- self witnessed to man's mistrust of men, or as often is the case, our Lord would indicate that many oaths are uttered to support or con- firm what the one so speaking knows to be a lie. and thereby the sin of the falsehood Is multiplied, the heart of the one speaking the falsehood Is the blacker, and evil Itself thereby is multiplied in that person's heart. Matt. 12:33-37. Our Lord, previ- ous to speaking the words which are assigned to our lesson, had cast out a denon from one who was brought to him suffering blindness and dumbness, as well as this evil possession. 33. Either make the tree good, and its fruit good; or maka the tree corrupt, and its fruit corrupt: tor the tree is known by its fruit. 34. LIFE'S LHCE THAT By Fred Neher "Women fir»t? what do jrou think thit U, m shipwreck?" Ye offspring of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35. The good man out of his good treasure brlng- eth forth good things; and the evil man out of his evil treasure bring- eth forth evil things. See also Matt. 7:16-20; Luke 6:45. The fruit that is borne is determined by the na- ture^t the tree. Words are pro- ducts. If a man's lite is evil at the center, you can expect nothing else but evil words as the fruit of that life. It a man is soundly good, his words will be soundly wholesome and true. There is nothing which we "need more these days than the cultiva- tion of noble thinking, and the stor- ing in our hearts ot vast treasures of the finest things in life and lit- erature, a purpose that will lead us to observe the beautiful and to hate the ugly. 36. And I say unto you, that every Idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof In the day of judgment. 37. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be con- demned. An "idle" word is simply an ineffectual word or an Insipid word, "an index of thoughtlessness, if not of malice." Idle or wicked words are but the expression of a man's character, and as such will form a basis tor judgment In the last day, when the things dona in the body will be judsed (2 Cor. 6: 10). Hobby Source Of Pleasure More Ontario Horses Raised TORONTO. â€" Horse breeding in Ontario has been more active in lt)3S than in any season since 1920 and for the first time Percheron stallions available for public service exceeds Clydesdales, the Ontario Stallion Enrolment Board announced. Percheron stallions total 640 and Clydos 601. Middlesex coun- ty leads in the number of stal- lions enrolled, 100, and Huron County is second with 72. Bruce has 66 and Perth and Grey flX each. Total enrolments number 1,583 against 1,500 last year. Worthiness by Order Only those foreigners are to be allowed to stay in Germany "whose personality and occupation guarantees that they are worthy of German hospitality." May Cott Little or Much, But It's Always Fun Before embarking on a new hobby it is necessary to have some preliminary information â€" some- thing of the character of the craft, the initial cost of the equipment, good books of instruction, other methods of learning, practical uses, and outlets for sales. No one craft is suitable for every woman. An older woman with consecutive hours of freedom could study a craft such as cabin- etmaking at a studio, while a very busy young mother might weave in the evening. Some hobbies such as photogrraphy, wood-work, and sketching, a husband and wife can share; others are exclusively feminine. Some cost little or noth- ing; some can be worked at for 10 minutes and then dropped; and some can be entirely self-taught. Having « Craft There is nothing new to be said about the pleasures of having a real hobby, but most people do not realize how constructive these pleasures are or how they enrich every aspect of the hobbyist's life. The instinct for sound craftsman- ship carries over into humdrum daily duties; studios, workshops, exhibitions, libraries, museums all suddenly develop to deep and lively interest; and best of all there is a generous welcome from the fascinating, international, and historical brotherhood of fellow craftsmen. 7,204 New Autos Bought In August Sales of new motor veh^-lcs in Canada during August totalled 7,204 units at $S, 018,020, com- pared with 9,074 at $9,521,833 in August, 1937, the Dominion Bur- eau of Statistics reports.

GABRIEL HEATTER OF "WE. THE PEOPLE" Gabriel Hsatter, cra.;k aawspa- persan and veteran radio commen- tator got in some last moments ot relaxation before the start ot his busiest radio season which began when his famous "We, The People" programs made their debut for the 1938-1M9 season over the Colum- bia network ca Tuesday, 3e|>iem- ber 27.

A Streamlinsd Rural Mail Box Would Be Better Than the Type The Carriers in Ontario Have To Deal With, Says the Sea- forth Expositor. POPâ€" A Musical Ghost By J. MILLAR WATT 1 MURDgRSa ) ^ r^T^^*^ UJ-^^ â€" ^S; S '^'^•J Z^^^'^^.^ * p itmmm^ H**' ^ ''** **" 31'n^lIc«t« . tncl 9 -.5 The average rural mail box is a good deal easier for the patron to hanultf than it is for the rural niail courier, says the Seaforth Ex- positor. There are some perXcct ones, of course, but we are talking about the average, and the door on the average mail bo.x is some- thing that won't stay shut; that won't stay open; that breaks off; that sticks, and that always squeaks. That does not bother the man who is getting his mail. He only has one box to open. With the courier, however, it is something else. He has several miles of them to open and close, and in wet and v,-intry weather that is some job when he has to use a different tcchni<iue on almost every box. No Door At All -Apparently the rural mail cour- iers aero.ss the line have experi- enced similar troubles with tl;a boxes of their ptitrons. But now they are going to end it all. .At lea.ft. we notice the other day th:',t at the thirty-tifth annual conven- tion of the United States rural mail couriers, that body passed a very considered ju.ln:mcnt upon a ne^v• streamlined nu-.il box, and the Post Office Department is likely to give its approval. The new streamiii.ed mail box has t'.o door at all. Nothing to op- en or close, or stick, or anything else. AH the mail man has to do i'5 to press a finger on the rear of the box and the entire cover swings, up and back. Sin;ple and easy; isn't it? V,'e, ill Canada, are living in a pretty fast ago, so the next thing we know we will be streamlining our rural mail boxes too. Launch New Naval Unit In Pac^ H.M.C.S. Xootka slid into th« water alongside the Esquimalt plant of Yarrow, Limited. Victoria, B.C.. last week, the fourth Cana- dian vessel to be hunched this year. Just before the little niins sweeper was launched, Mrs. Erie Hamber. wife of British Colum- bia's Lieutenant-Governor, smash- ed the traditional bottle of chanj- pagne over the prow and pave ths vessel its name. The Nootka was then drawn up alongside the Yarrow outSttIng jetty where the ship will be made ready for patrolling the Cans iian Facific coastline and, in the event of war, protecting the Dominion shores from enemy ships. The launching of Nootka follow- ed by scar:ely more than a month that of a sister ship, the Comox, at a North Vancouver sbipyard. Previously two other minesweep- ers were launched Jo eastern f^'xf- yards.
