LESSON I AMOS PLHAOS FOR JUSTICE Amo» 5, 7 Printed Text, Amos 5:1, 10-15,21-24 Golden Text: "Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish jus- tice in the gate." Amos 5:16. TiiK m;sson in its SKTTIXO Time â€" About TOO U.C. I'lace â€" The piopheclt^s <>f Amos were littered at Betlibl, twelve milefc uoKli of Jeruaaieui, unci were prim- arily addressed to uoitlieru Israel. The word "Amos" means "bur- den" or "burdi»n-bearei". The lutro- duct ton to the book iufoims us that lis llred during the days ol Uzziuh, ih* king ot Judab, who rolgned from 810 to 758 B.C., and ot Jero- 'bofMi It, who reigned over Isiaal from 825 to 773 B.C. Amos thus was X contemporary of Hos&a and of th» gr»ateitt ot all the propliels, Isaiah. Of the life ot Amos wa know noth- ing outsidu what is found in thW book, but hii own writing raveais a vary dlHtinot and interesting chai- acter. He was undoubtedly a pea- sant, eprlnging fi' < :i poor and ob- scure family â€" . .shepherd, and therefore a ualurul-born preacher. H« lived close to nature. IN AMOS* DAY Amos affords us a picture ot tk* actual condition of the people ot the Northern Klnsdom. The luxury ot the rich was conapicuoui. These luxuries, he says, were obtained by means which lie calls "violence and robbery"; by oppresalon ot the poor and needy; by dishonest trad- ing; by taking bribes. The womea showed themselves as cruel and bard-boarted as men. Public and private virtues alike had decayed. Humane laws were openly Ignored. The poor man need not look tor re- dress in the courts where Justice was openly bought and sold. PLE.'VDS \VITH I3RAEL Amos 5:1. Hear ye this word that I take up for a lamentation over you, O house of Israel. Amos pleads with Israel to seek the Lord, using the most powerful arguments he coTild command â€" that they would regain abundant life and the bless- ings which the hearU ot all men do really crave. 10. They hate him that reproveth In the gate, and they ab- hor him that speaketh uprightly. 11. rorasmucU therefore as ye do trample upon the poor, and take exactions from him of wheat: ye have built houses of hewn stone, but ye shall not dwell in them; ye have planted, pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink the wine thereof. 12. For I know how mani- fold are your transgressions, and how mighty are your sins â€" ye that atrUct the just, that take a bribe, and that turn aside the needy In the gate from their right. 13. Thorefore he that is prudent shall keep silence in such a time; for it is an ovU time. It will be noticed in this denunciation ot Israel's In- iquity that the sin which be re- probates most severely Is the injus- tice ot one class to another, ot the oppression ot the poor by tlios* above them. THE CrOOD MAN 14. Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live; and no Jehovah, the Ood ot hosta. wli! be with you, as ye »ay. ID. Hate the evil, and love the good, and eitablish justice In the gale; it rany be that Jehovah, the Ood ot hosts, will be gracious unto the emnaut ot Joseph. Israel is to seek the good that she might live. In Amos, goodness Is the do- ing ot justice in society, the secur- ing ot fair play between man and man, The man w!io would ovon try to llve> to liiriiself could not be good in the Old Tf-atamcut siMise of the term, however miiny of the passive virtues he mlRht possess. SIN IN THK UKAIIT 21. I hate. I despise your feasts, and I will take not delight in your solemn assemblies. 22. Yea, lliougb ye offrT me your burnt offerings and racal-olterliigs. I will not accept them; nellhor will I regard the jiear-c-offerinRR of your fiit lioasts. 2i. Take thou awiiy from mo the noise ot thy songs; for I will not heor the molody uf thy viols. 24, nut let justice roll dow n as waters, and rightcousiiOss as a mighty stream.

Old-Fashioned Drwd Apples If Yours Are Not Kesping 8e Well Here's A Hint TtAya are required on which to !«/ th» fruit; these may be pur- ohased, or may be constructed by nalUoff together.

INTERMITTENT PROCESS Drying must be done only in a modsrat«»Iy warm oven; the opare heat ot the oveu or stove may be iittUced after the cooking for the day ia over. This probably means that tho process cannot be a contin- uous one, and that It will have to be carried out on several evenings, but the fruit does not suffer to any appreciable extent. If an oil-heated or electric oven is available, the heat can be regulated more easily, and the process can be carried out continuously or Intermittently ac- cording to the general use ot the oven. The rack over a coal-range can aleo be used, provided the fruit rs protected from dust. Apples on the whole stand rylng well. The fruit must be carefully pe>led and cored with all blemishes r&moved, and cut into rings from U in. to 1-8 In. in thickness. The rings should be arranged in single layers on the trays or threaded on sticks, "ft'lilch can be laid across the trays, and placed near the kitchen fire or in a cool oveu at a tempera- ture of not more tlian 140 degrees F.

Says King George Real Flying Man "He Knows His Stuff" Is Tri- bute Paid by Veteran British Aircraft Superintendent "ills Majesty is a real flying man; he knows his stuff." This homely tribute was paid the King by Jack Sfurgess, CS, a veter- an aircraft supc.rintendeut, follow- ing a Royal tour ot a British plant ti.rning out Lysander planes for the Royal Air Force. As he walked around the shop that turns out the two-seater gen- eral utility planes used for army co-operation duties, the King said 'it carries me back to Cranwell". That recalled that he was attach- ed to Cranwell Air Force Staff Col- lege in 1917 and qualified as a pilot In 1919. He has kept abreast of air affairs since that time. There were many women work- ers In the plant and the King told them they were doing fine work for their country. He leaned over the sewing machine on which Mrs. A. J. Parry works 10% hours daily making airplane engine covers. She won a Royal smile with the com- ment that ''this beats sewing at home." Keep Jap Beetle Out of Dominion Everything Is Being Done To Prevent Entry of This Agri- cultural Pest from U. S. The menace ot the Japanese heotle to agriculture was pointed out to a U. S. Farm and Home Week group at Cornell University recently by Professor P. A. Readio of the department ot entomology. .VTTACKS FRUIT. FLOWERS AND TREES Among the more recently-intro- duced Insect pests, this beetle stands out as the one likely to af- fect agriculture materially, he said. It In varied in its tastes, and at- tacks fruit and shade trees, vege- tables and flowers. Furthermorf, its grubs live in the soil, feed on grass roots, and cause serious damage to lawns and golf courses. "Introduced as recently as 191G, the beetle has already advanced over a large area of eastern United States, and its further spread and permanent residence seem inevi- table. It is already abundant in the southeastern part ot New York and is becoming more numerous in nor- thern and western parts ot the .state." The Canadian government Is using every means at its disposal to keep tho pest out ot Canada. Bath-tub Tenors Elasy On Towels For Some Reason Quiet Ba- thers Wear Them Out More Quickly Singing In the bathtub, despite the wear and tear on the neighbor's nerves, has been recommended to save the wear and tear on bath- room linens. Scientists at the American Insti- tute ot Laundering approved Ot the bathroom yodelling after research showed that It takes the place ot a too-vigorous rubdown. LIVES CAN TAKE IT "The silent bather is moat like- ly to seize a bath towel, stretch it as It never should have been stretched and seek new vigor by a strenuous rubdown," the Institute reported. "The result is a bath tow- el that Is ruined by having Its body stretched oUt ot shape and Its threads torn." The Institute concluded that "such maltreatment ranks with shoe wiping and razor blade clean- ing as chief causes ot bath towel fatalities."
