Sunday School Lesson LESSON IV OUR DAY OF REST Exodus 20:8-11; Isaiah 58:13,14; Luke >3:10-17; Galatians 4:8-11; Colossions 2:16; Revelations 1:10 Printed Text, Ex. 20; 8-11; Luke 13:10-17. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. â€" The later prophecies of Isaiah were uttered somewhere near 698 B.C. The Incident record- ed in Luke's Gospel occurred in De- cember, A.D. 29. The epistle to the Galatians was written A.D. 60; the epistle to the Colossians A.D. 64; and the book of Revelation A.D. 90 or A.D. 95. Place. â€" The Incident recorded In Luke's Gospel occurred in Peraea on the eastern side of the Jordan River. Galatia was a large pro- vince In Asia Minor at the time Paul wrote. The city of Colossae •Was located in the southern part of Asia Minor; the island of Patmos is located in the Aegean Sea opposite the south-western coast of Asia Minor. 8. Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. The Fourth Com- mandment is distinct from others In a number of ways. In the pre- ceding three commandments, man, as it were, is spoken to individually • as regards his relationships to God. In the last six comandments he is spoken to as a member of society, regarding his relationships to other people. In the Fourth Command- ment both of these ideas are found together. The word "Sabbath" is from a root meaning to break off, or to de- sist, and, therefore, originally, sim- ply meant a time of cessation from â- work. 9. Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work. It is generally forgotten in reciting or speaking ahout the seventh day that there Is as distinct a command here to work as there is to cease from â- work. 10. But the seventh day is a sab- ifaath unto Jehovah thy God; in it thou Shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man-servant, nor thy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates. Rest and dedication to God are the proper- ties here assigned to the Sabbath. 11. For in six days Jehovah made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the sev- enth day: wherefore Jehovah bless- ed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. The reference here is to Gen. 2:1-3. To work and to rest alternately, with a certain average proportion of time devoted to each, is prescrib- ed to man by the conditions of his physical well-being. To attain the ends of his existence upon earth and maintain his powers in health- ful exercise, a large amount of la- bor, with certain intervals tor rest intercalated in the time devoted to labor, is universally indispensable. But, if we are agreed that the Sunday is to be a day of rest, it is still more essential for us to under- stand that it must be a holy not an Ignoble rest. Luke 13:10-17. 10. And he was teaching in one of the synagogues on the sa'bbath day. No man is ever so good or so wise that he can afford to remain away from church. We here discover that the Lord was acknowledged to be one worthy of expounding the Scriptures in the synagogue. 11. And heboid, a wi-man that had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years; and she was bowed together, and could in no wise lift herself up. 12. And when Jesus saw her. he called her, and said to her. Woman, thou art loosed from thine intlrmtiy. 13. And he laid his hands upon her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. Fiom him (through the laying on of hands) there streamed into her the currents of a new life, so that the bands, spiritual and bodily, by which she was held, were loosened. 14. And the ruler of the syna- gosue, being moved wkh indigna- tion because Jesus had healed on the sa'abath, answered and said to the multitude. There are six days in which men otght to work: in tiiera therefore come and bo healed, and not on the day of the sabbath. Ho was one of those Pharisees who was a stickler for the strict legal- istic interpretation of the law ac- cording to the traditions of the fa- thtrs. ' *â-  15. But the Lord answered him, and said. Ye hypocrites, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to water- ing? 16. And ought not this woman. being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan had bound, lo, these eighteen years, to have been loosed from this bond on the day of the aabbathT Jesus asks two questions, the answers to which are beyond question. The argument is cumu- lative: the woman, a human being, over against the ox and the ass. mere beasts. 17. And as he said these things, all his adversaries were put to ahame: and all the multitude re- joiced for all the glorious things that were done by him. Goodbye "InvUible" Plates Margaret Gillies shows the dif- ference between this year's "in- visible" Ontario license plates and the new 1939 reflecting markers. The new plates are made with a white on black color scheme. Ex- perimentally, thousands of tiny glass crystals have been blown into the paint to reflect light and make them visible at a great dis- tance and at night. Doctors' cars only will use the experimental plates till they have been proved efficacious. Then we may all have them on our cars. Housing Loans Show Increase The Department of Finance has announced loans under the Nation- al Housing Act in September total- led $1,240,693, providing housing accommodation for 338 families, compared with $552,450 for 134 fa- milies in September last year. Contrary to "the seasonal trend in 1936 and 1937, when operations for September showed a marked drop compared with August, total loans for September this year ex- ceeded August by $209,291, an in- crease of 20 per cent.

RADIO CONVENIENCES Rogers new 1939 "Super-Value" Radios contribute many new fea- tures for convenience, including easier, quicker and more accur- ate tuning â€" but most important is their exclusive six individual spread-band dials. Only one dial is visible at a time on this new Canadian radio so that there can be no question as to what band is being tunde. This is an innovation in radio sets â€" just as Rogers was the first successful batteryless radio in the world I "SILVER THEATRE" Margaret SuUavan, one of the leading emotional actresses of both stage and screen, brought her remarkable talents to the radio when she took the starring role in the "Silver Theatre" pro- duction heard over the Columbia network, Sunday, October 9lh. (WABC-CBS, 6.00 to 6.30 p.m., EST.) Miss Sullavan was supported by u large cast of well known Hol- lywood actors and actresses. Miss Sullavan's leading success on the stage in recent years was as the star of "Stage Door." Her best known movies have in- cluded "Three Comrades," "Shopworn An- gel", So Red the Little Man What Margaret SuUavan Rose", and Now." BOWES TROPHY A miniature death mask of Na- poleon, taken from an original which was made in 1834, is the latest addition to the unique col- lection of miniatures which form part of the Major Bowes exhibit in the Chrysler Building in New York. Smallest items in the collec- tion are four animals, a panda, a leopard, an elephant and a bear, each carved out of a peach pit.

Flint Knapping Since Stone Age Prehistoric Industry of Chipping and Fashioning Pieces Con- tinues in Britain after 10,000 Years. It may seem strange that there should still be carried on in the heart of rural England that prehis- toric industry of flint knapping. The chipping and fashioning of flints into implements and weapons is an art which is said to date back to the Stone Age, to have had its or- igin possibly 10,000 years ago. The" center of the British indus- try is now, as apparently it always has been, at Brandon in Suffolk, writes a correspondent of "The Christian Science Monitor." One wonders if it is a freak in- dustry and kept going only tor sentimental reasons. However, UFE'S LIKE THAT By Fred Neher "Do you think you could do anything with Towser?" flint knapping is still a commercial undertaking and is a means of live- lihood. There is no competition and, indeed, the knappers lament that they cannot keep pace with the orders. There are many parts of the world where flints are still requir- ed, and each year more than 100,- 000 specially worked gun flints are exported to the tropics. They go mostly to the traders at Lagos, on the west coast of .\frica, or else to China or Malaya, and the trad- ers in turn barter them to the na- tives. The natives use these flints ei- ther to cause the spark and ignite I---, niv.v!:^!- in an old flintlock guu or else to give the spark in an old I..:.. . . -â-  liyhtiiiS- Andirons Once Were Essential To Cooking On This Continent When Wood-Burning Fire- places Were In General Use For two centuries American homes were dependent for both cooking and heating on wood-burn- ing flreplaces, writes Thomas Ham- ilton Ormsbee in "American Col- lector." Andirons were essential and must have been part of the necessary equipment brought over by the first settlers, although no speciflc mention is made of them. We do find in the inventory of Gov- ernor Winthrop's estate, dated Feb- ruary 17, 1649, "2 pairs andirons â€" one pound, ten shillings." Four years later a list of the household furnishings of Captain Tyng, of Boston, includes "a great paire of Brass andirons." Just when andirons were lirst made in the American colonies is hard to say, but those of wrought iron were probably produced tor local ne«ds almost as soon as the first bl.'icksmiths set up their for- ges. Night Watch SASK.A.TOON. â€" Herb Buckle, jeweler, doesn't know why, but he's observed that one-third of the watches brought in for repairs have stopped between 12 midni.2;ht and 3 o'clock in the morning; also his business picks up immediately after a thunderstorm. Bigger Prison Population With Stiffer Penalties Prison Ternu in Ontario Are Being Given More Often Now for Offences Formerly Not Thought So Serious TORONTO.â€" The new policy of seeking imposition of heavier sen- tences and prison terms for offen- ces formerly not regarded so seri- ously Is converting the big provin- cial industrial farm at Burwash in- to the "•â- Mcatraz" of Ontario. Provincial Secretary Harry Nixon said last week the prison farm near the Northern Ontario mining cen- tre of Sudbury gradually was be- coming an "Alcatraz" because of the recent plan of sending the more serious "repeaters" there. The farm population now is at an all-time high of 670. Ni.\on said the increased prison population should occasion no al- arm since it arose from imposition of more severe terms. "For instance," he said, ''the oth- er day near Hamilton a man was given quite a heavy sentence for 'cutting in' on the road. Formerly he would have got off. Sentences also have been stiffened against vagrants and stiffer sentences also are being given for offences under the Highway Trafilc Act and under the Criminal Code for drunken dri- vers." May Try For Ottawa Arctic Outpost Of Greenland Thule Is 350 Miles North of the Arctic Circle â€" Population 311, Ruled By Dennoark Thule, Greenland, one of the world's northernmost permanent settlements, about 350 miles north of the Arctic Circle, now is for the first time under the direct control of the Danish government, which holds sovereign rights over all of Greenland, and has actively gov- erned much of the coast. Arthur W. Roebuck, K.C., for- mer member of the Hepburn Cab- inet, who, it is rumored may re- tire from provincial politics and seek a seat in the Federal House. Thule is a village of about 311 inhabitants, nearly all Eskimos, sit- uated on the southern shore of Wol- stenholme Fjord off Baffin Bay. says the National Geographic Society. Oiscovered By Rasmussen Since its discovery by the Dan- ish explorer, Knud Rasmussen, on the first Thule expedition in 1912- '13, it has been under an autono- mous government by native hunt- ers. Tha explorer set up this local government, a system that until the recent action of the Danish gov- ernment was successfully operated in the remote Arctic outpost. While Thule's population growth has not been impressive, the vil- lage has become important as a trading and missionary station for a vast region of northwestern Greenland and the headquarters and starting point for several im- portant Arctic expeditions. Chile will permit the importa- tion of wheat only under Govern- ment licence.
