SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON VI JAMES TEACHES CONSISTENT CHRISTIAN LIVING. THE EPISTLE OF JAMES. PRINTED TEXT: James 1:17-22; 2:14-17; 4:13-17; 6:12. GOLDEN TEXT: Pure religion ind undeflled before our God and Father ii this, to visit the father- less and widows In their afflic- tion, and to keep oneself unspot- ted from the world. Junes 1:27. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time: It has been generally un- derstood that the Epistle of James was written before A.D. 51, and, possibly, as early as A.I). 45, and Is thus most probably the earliest of all the writings now Included In the New Testament. Place: Probably In the city o< Jerusalem. All Christians have been brought Into fellowship with Chrisl, anfl have been redeemed from the pow- er of sin, and by their word and by their acts, In daily life, publicly and privately, should show to the world that they are now under the rula and lordship of JPSUS Christ, and re not llvlns according to the cus- toms of the world. James begins his Epistle with a discussion of temptation, and surely everyone who trl' to live as Christ would have him live, knows what temptation Is. But he nays a very strange thing, that we are to rejoice when we fall Into temptations, because In having vic- tory over them, our faith will he proved genuine, and we will be learning the virtue of patience. So many circumstances of life arise which baffl" and prplex us, with the result that we do not know what to say. what to do. which way to turn, what to undertake. In this situation James says, the secret Is to turn to God. who will give wisdom freely to all who call upon Him. In faith, nothing doubtlne. "17. Every ,~ood gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of Lights, with whom can be no variation, neither shadow that is cast by turn- Ing. God because He Is good, could never give anything 1 , or will any- thin e. but good In relation to men. It In Interesting to think of the Rifts that come down from above. To be- gin with, there Is the sunlight, and then the rain, then the gift of the love by angels to Moses, the sift of the Son of fJod who came down from glory! The gift of the Holy Spirit who was sent by the Father and by the Son. Christ Himself U surely the perfoct gift from Hea- ven. The Idea that sunlight cornea from above will help us some In the Interpretation for the title of God. tho Father of Lights." Be Slow to Speak "18. Of his own will ha brought ui forth by tho word of truth, that we should be a kind of first fruits of his creatures. Our Lord said that we were begotten by the Holy Spirit. Hr-ro we are taught that Cod has begotten us by the word of truth. There Is no contradiction here. The Hnl- Spirit only brought about a state of reRoneration within Uf by our hearing the word of (!od concerning His Son, Josus Christ. "19. Ve know this my beloved brethren. Hut to speak slow to wrath: 20 for the wrath of man woikr-th not the righteousness of God." James hero gives the excel- lent advice that, while man should be quirk to hear, s< as not to be accused of Indifference or dullness of iiilnd, ]\e should hn slow to spi*:ik. and especially slow In the manifestation of anger "21. Wherefore, putting away all fllthlnoss and overflowing of wlck- rilni's*. iccclvc with meekness the Implant' <! word which Is able to ave your souls." $n tha place of these wicked things we are to re- ceive Into our hearts the Word of God, which Is able to deliver our souls from every besetting sin. WlokecliiouB wil not be put away If we do not determine to put It nway. The word of (!ol Is not only when held In the mind, but Is to taka root In the heart. "22. Hut ye doers of the word, snd not hearers only, deluding your own selves." We are not only to believe the Word of God, but to practiso It. A Christian who does not put into practice the Word of (Jod Is like a man who, after gaz- ing nt his face In the mirror (mir- rors In James' day were mndc of brass, highly polished), and see- ing some blemish on tils face, put* tho mirror down, goes away and has no further thought of that which 1\ knows should bo removed. Faith With Worki "14. What doth It profit my brethren, If a man say he IIRVA faith, but have not works? Can that faith nave him? "15. If a brother or Hlster be ink' 'I and In lack of dally food, 1C, snd one of you say unto them, go In peace, hn warmed and filled; and yet glvA them not tha things need- ful to the body; what doth It pro- fit? "17.

DOWN THAT WAY, COMRADE: GERMANS A Red army scout on horseback reports to his superiors riding in a car somewhere along th battlefront, according to Soviet caption radioed from Moscow with this picture. "15. Come now, ye that say : Today or tomorrow we will go Into this city, and spend a year here, and trade aud get gain. 14. Whereas yo know not what shall be on the morrow. What Is your lif->? For ye are a vapor that appcaretti for a little time, and then vanlsheth away. 15. For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall both lire, and do this or that. 16. But now ye glory In your vauntinga; all such glory is evil." We are not to plan our lives as though we had control of our lives ourselves, but always with the thought In mind that we will do things It It U the will of God. "17. To him therefore that know- eth to do good and doeth It not, to him It is sin." Generally, we count that a sin which Is a deliberate doing of what we ought not to do. Here James gives the reverse side of a definition of sin not doing that which we know we ought to do. "12. But above all things, my' brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yea ha yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under Judgment." In a Christian society whore men are truly brethren In Christian affec- tion, there should be no need of oaths in the dally inte-counte of octal life. SCOUTING . . . Twenty-eight Halifax Scouts. of a class of seventy, who hope some day to be airmen, have earn- ed their "Red Wings," the Junior airmanship badge of the Boy Scouts Association. Hundreds of Scouts across Canada are studying the fundamental principles of air- manship. When they have won their "Silver Wings," they will have mastered the theoretical principles of flying, of air naviga- tion, aero engines and much air- craftsman's ground work, plus ad vanced first aid, signalling and other standard qualifications of a First Class Scout. Their Instruc- tors were officers of the R.C.A.F., and those first earning their "wings" received ther"? at the hands of Squadron Leader 0. E. Crelghton.

Hughes saved a number of persone by crawling under the debris of fallen houses, regardless of the risk t- himself. "He burrowed like a rat to rescue the trapped people," was one des- cription of his work-, "and tore hla clothing to shreds. In fact, he had to return home for a complete change.

To the Dutch for Vryjueld (Freedom), to the Czechs for Viteztol (Victory), to the Serbs for Vitestoo (Freedom). V stands for a campaign for Victory, started In England by Col. Brltton, a mystery speaker of the British Broadcasting Corporation who, in half a dozen languages, sends messages of encouragement to the people of Germany and Nazi occupied countries. He tells them to spread the V for Victory signs throughout the land. Mr. J. B. Priestley, recently broadcasting from England, said that the V for Victory campaign is designed to stir hope amonjr the N'azi dominated peoples and to impress upon the Nazis that their doom is on the way. The Ger- mans, he said, are being haunted by a war of nerves. V Audible and Vi.ual Reports from England say that V slants are. seen and heard In all parts of Europe. V's are chalked on walls, cut out of paper, drawn on dusty automobiles. The symbol is doubly good be- cause It Is audible as well as visual. In the Morse code V Is three dots and a dash. Drummers beat It on tholr drums, dlnera In restaurants beat It on their glasses to r.iU a waiter, motorists toot It on their horns. People are heard whistling the dot, dot, dot, dash rhythm of the opening bars of Beethoven's fifth symphony, which according to the composer, symbolizes "fata knocking at the door." Counter Propaganda The Germans, recognizing this powerful weapon, hope to turn tha campaign against Britain by adopt- ing it for themselves. Recently a Gorman broadcasting station open- pil the broadcast with the dot, dot, dot, dash signal and thj listeners were told that the signal \vns V for Viktorla (Victory) which Ger- many is winning on all battletronta. Although Vlktorlii means Victory, Slog Is the word that te customarily used. Mr. Priestley said, "Don't make the mistake of thinking this Is a childish thiitK. It is supremely Important. This Is not only a war of machines; It Is a war of morale nod propaganda."

Taking a great big page if not the whole book from Herr Goebbels, Great Britain has launched its "V" for Victory cam- paign. It's got everyone think- ing and liking the idea more than that, it's got the Huns humming and hawing and what's more im- portant, worrying. The theme of "V" for Victory as we all know by now, is carried effectively in the opening notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony in the three dots ani the dash in Morse Code. Stations everywhere, starting with the BBC, are using these two forms and variations of them, in some form of program or sta- tion identification. CKOC in Hamilton is using the morse sig- nal at all station breaks before station announcement Dr. Sal- mon's widely listened to commen- tary of the day's news is preced- ed by the Victory Music theme. So it's catching on everywhere, and the campaign is only a little more than a week old. Let's watch it grow! THE AMERICAS Good-neighbourliness is more than just a phrase to which we pay lip-service. Broadcasters, par- ticularly, are doing everything possible to really create a feeling of mutual friendliness between the North and South Americas. And one of the best ambassadors we have, musically, is Xavier Cugat, whose authentic treatment of the dances of our South American friends, has won him fame on two continents. Catch Cugat with the Cugat Rhumba Revue on the NBC Red network, Thursday eve- nings at 7.30 E.D.S.T. And you'll hear Cugat quite a lot too from many of your local stations featuring various pop and Latin American rhythms. If you've record playing facilities at home, you'll get some of Cugat'* best on wax at your neighbourhood record counter. "PRESCOTT PRESENTS" Allen Prescott's sheltered days . are over. For nearly nine years the glib champion of U.S. Radio's "Kitchen Captives," has been dis- pensing helpful household hinU to harried housewives. His only companion on the "Wife Saver" series has been a pianist. But that's all over now. The powers- that-be have decicka that no man should live alone and like it, and have starred Fresco*: in a new morning variety show, "Prescott Presents." With him to make things c'ubby for the experiment, is Irving Miller's orchestra, NBC song stylist Diane Ortney; Jean Brooks of the Four Belles Quar- tet (they're plenty good all by themselves), and to top it off, a mixed quartet. Prescott contin- ues his "Wife Saver" mission on the new show and has inaugurated a new feature, the "Things-to- talk - about - Section." "Prescott Presents" may be heard 10.45 to 11.00 a.m. E.D.S.T. on CBL and CBY only and from 11.00 to> 11.15 a.m., E.D.S.T. on CBO anJ network of the C.B.C. Skeletons Reveal Prehistoric Toothache The belief that prehistoric man had teeth superior was exploded when excavators near Homer. Neb., uncovered skeletons of a prehistoric tribe which was sup- posed to have roamed the prair- ies long before the present-('ay Indian appeared. Prof. John Champ of University of Nebraska anthropology de- partment, who examined the skele- tons, reported that virtually all of them had large cavities in their teeth.
