SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON WHAT, AGAIN? v; . CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY RE- GARDING BEVERA ALCOHOL Deut. 5:32, 33; 11:26-28; Isa. 28:1-6; Hah. 2:12. GOLDEN TEXT Righteousness exalteth a nation; But sin Is a reproach to any pepole. Prov. 14:34. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time The book of Deuteronomy nas written somewhere between 1400 and 1500 B.C. The passage which appears In our lesson from Isaiah may have bqen composed about 725 B.C. The prophecy of Eabakkuk was written, probably, a century later, 625 B.C. Place The book of Deuternoomy was undoubtedly written In the wilderness of Sinai. The book of Iiatah was, for the most part, writ- ton in or near Jerusalem. We do not know where the book of Hab- akkuk waa written, though It Is message to Israel, the Northern Kingdom. Three Blessings 12. "Ye shall observe to do therefore as Jehovah your God hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand .1- to the left. S3. Ye shall walk in all the way which Jehovah your God hath tommanded you, that ye may live, ind that It may be well with you, ind that ye may prolong your lays in the land which ye shall tossesi." It would seem that turn- ing to the left from the Word of tod would be to do less than Bod's Word commands; whereas turning to the right from the Word If God would be to adopt a system tf lite more after the attern of lome humanly conceived idea of kolinass. All life Is a walk. What * want to be careful of la that e are walking in the way that od has appointed. If God has ap- pointed a way in which He wants M to walk, then there Is an in- tlcatlon of God' love and Interest to our lives. Three things are iromited here: abundance of life, blessedness of heart, length of lays. To disobey the laws of God neans the very opposite of these three blessings the impoverwh- uent of life, the restlessness and Hsillusionment of the soul and brevity of life. Jtf. "Behold, I set before you this lay a blessing and a curse: 27. Rt blessing, If ye shall hearken Into the commandments of Jeho- tah your God, which I command MW this day; 28. and the curse, If ye shall not hearken unto the lommandments of Jehovah your Sod, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this lay, to go after other gods, which fm have not known." Again and again In our lives we have the pportunlty of choosing obedience r disoibedlence. The very fact that w have such a choice set before H Implies, first that we have a moral nature which is capable of ilscernlng the true from the false, U.e food from the evil. To choose lo obey the law that God has com- manded us Is Inevitably to bring Bod's blessing upon our lives. To house to disobey God's law IH with equal Inevitability to bring a cure* upon life. Intemperance 1. "Woe to that crown of pride. Of the drunkards of Ephraini, and to the fading flower of his glori- ous beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley of them that Me overcome with wine!" That Intemperance was the prevail- ing sin in the Kingdom of Israel is not impossible. It prevailed also to a great, extent In the Kingdom of Judea, "A man's reason, con- science, moral feelings, and physi- cal strength are all overcome by Indulgence in wine and the entire man Is prostrated by It." 2. "Be- hold, the Lord hath a mighty and strong one; as a tempest of hail, a destroying storm, as a tempest of mighty waters overflowing, will tie cast down to the earth with the land. 3. The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot: 4. and the fall- Ing flower of his glorious beauty, which Is on the head of the fat bnlly, shall be as the first ripe lig before the summer; which when he that looketh upon it seeth, while It is yet in his hand to eat it ip. In that day will Jehovah of bloats become a crown of glory, a.ud diadem of beauty, unto the resi- due of his people. 6. And a spirit of Justice to Him that sltteth in Judgment, and strength to them that turn back the battle at the gate." Nothing Is so short-lived gratification of appeMte. It is not only that each act lasts bur. tor a moment, but also that past (ratifications leave no sort of sol- ace to the appetite behind them: whereas past acquirements ot deeds of goodness are a perpetual Joy as well as the foundation at th* present. There is something essentially Isolated in each act ot sensuous delight. No man can by so willing recall the taste of eaten food, nor slake his thirst by re- membrance of former draughts. Bnt each such gratification is done when it is done, and there is an end of its power to gratify. IS.

T hey used the riches gained by the murder of conquered nations in enlarging and beautify- ing their own city. So there was an Inward rottenness and decay in what seemed strong and majestic: it would not stand, but fell. Such li all empire and greatness, raised on the neglect of God's law, by un- lawful conquests, and by the toil and sweat and bard service of the poor. Its aggrandizement and seeming strength Is Its fall. Serbs Take Leaf From Nazi Book Yugoslavs are showing the Germans that the execution of hostages can be two-sided. Yugo- slav guerillas, said a report heard In New York, captured 650 Ger- man soldiers, including at least 40 officers, and then sent a note to the German General threaten- ing to execute them if the shoot- Ing of Yugoslav hostages contin- ued. War Savings Drive Will Begin Soon Tuned to a "war weapons" theme a nation-wide campaign to obtain increased War Savings subscriptions has been launched in three western cities and with- in the next month will spread over the whole of Canada, offi- cials of the National War Savings committee said recently. Up to the end of September the sale of War Savings Stamps and Certificates this year yielded the treasury $89,373,997. The cam- paign now starting is the first special drive launched since Janu- ary and February of last year. Certificates purchased by pay- roll deductions constitute about 70 per cent of the present re- turns. The aim is to increase these, as well as to increase the number of casual purchases and the number of purchases by means of bank pledges.

By tbe now Order-in-Councll an- nounced recently, strikes called by minorities are declared Illegal Previous regulations bare lor- bidden workers to lay down tooli until boards of conciliation nave Investigated their claims. 1 e new regulations carry tbe prohibition further. After the findings of tbe board of conciliation in any dispute have been placed In the hands of the Government and the contending parties, a strike still aay not be u: ' d until three conditions are fulfilled. First, the employees must give notice to the Minister of Labor that they contemplate a strike. Second, a general vote mast be taken of the employ, * s concern 1 under the supervision of the De- partment of Labor and subject to regulations Imposed by the Minis- ter. Third, a majority of the em- ployees concerned must vote for the strike. The Departmeir ibor IntemU that when a strike Is discussed any one who wishes may advance his opinion. There have- been cases, the Minister of Labor Norman Me- Larty states, where as few as (SO men have arranged the strike pol- icy for a whole plant's employees of 3,000 to 4,000. No measures were taken to see If the decision to strike reaJly rep- resented the opinion of a majority of the men affected. New strike legislation provides a penalty of $500, or not more than 12 months imprisonment, or both, for anyone striking or inciting to trike In contravention of the tew regulations. Haste Urged With Parcels Time to Prepare Those to be Expressed To Men Overseas Express agency officials are ad- vising relatives of men overseas to get Christmas parcels away within the next two weeks so that pre- Christmas delivery may be made. Though Christmas may seem somewhat distant at the present moment, it Is by no means too arly to start preparing the gift packages now, it is pointed out, particularly as shipping space for other than essential goods is strict- ly limited. Parcels leaving within the next two weeks will be nicely timed and will avoid possible dis- appointment. Gift parcels by Canadian Express for ttie troops, other than packages oontaining foodstuffs, may be ship- ped Irrespective of weight, but par- cels of foodstuffs must, not exceed 15 pounds gross weight. The ship- meat of perishable foods should be carefully avoided as there Is no cold storage space available on the steamers. Cash Gifts Canadians wishing to soud cash gifts to the fighting forces overseas may obtain express money orders up to a limit of .5 jioumJ.s sterling a month, while money to the same limit can be sent by cable at very reasonable cost. It is announced. The chief advantage of sending money by cable is that payment is made within several days an against several weeks by ordinary mailing methods. There is also no risk of loss at sea, or by other means. Money remittances to the limit of 25 pounds sterling a month can also be sent to civilians in the United Kingdom to whom other gifts are prohibited under present day regulations, except to the ex- tent of five pounds weight by par- cel post. Many Canadians do not at present realize this, It Is ex- plained.
