(W)lden Toxt â€" Thou shall lovo the Lord with ull thy hoarl, and with all thy hciul. and with all thy mind. . . Thou shalt lovo thy neighbor as thy- self. â€"Matt. 22: 37, :ttf. The Lesson in it.s Settiii(i Placeâ€" Mount Sinai. Timeâ€" B.C. 1498. "And God spake all these words, sayinjr, I am Jehovah thy God, who brouniit thee out of the land of Ejr.vpt, out of the house of bondage." â€" Two futulamcjital rea.sons for Is- rael s obedience to the law about to be given are here announced; the one who j;ives the law is none other than Jehovah and God, Jehovah meaning "the one who is," i.e., the eternal one; this redeemed the Israelites out of the house of bondage, and conse- quently had a claim upon them for their jrratitude and obedience. "Thou shalt have no other gods be- fore me." â€" Thi.s commandment is a direct prohibition of every form of worship which does not have for its object the Jehovah of the Old Testa- ment, who is the I'alher of our Lord anil .'^avj.jur Jesu.s Christ, and .strikes •t t};-.' very root of all polytheism, und of every ancient and modern re- ligion and cult whk-h exhalts to n place of worship either a mytho- logical god or goddess, or an actual human being. There cannot be two god.s. "Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image, nor any likeness of any thir^ that is in Heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that la in the water under the earth. Thou •halt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them; for I Jehovah, thy God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the thildi tn, upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them th.nt hate Oie. "Ai.d showing lovingkindne.ss unto thousiinds of them that love me and keep my commandments." â€" As the First Commandment forbade any Other biing to be worshipped as God, ihe S; cond Commandment forl)ids the malting of any images of God or of other <i -atures to worship and iorvc. "Thou sl'.all n t take tliu name of Jehovnh thy litil in vain; for Jehovah will not hold liim guiltless that taketh his name in vain." â€" The word "vain" means "empty", "without reality," and, b.v taking the name of God in vain, I ot only is all profanity which uses his name here eon<l>uined, but all acts and words of nun who pre- tend to be solimtdy wor-shipping God, while their hearts are far from him. "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it hidy. .Six days shalt thou labor, and do all thy work. Hut the geventb ('ay is a .Sabbath unto Jeho- vah 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 â- trangcr that is within thy gates. "For in six day.s Jehovah made Heaven and earth, the sea, and all Wiat in them is, and rested the sev- With day: wherefore Jehovah blessed too .Sabi)ath day, and hallowed it." â€" The v^'ord ".Sabbath" means, literally, cssation, and, consequently, rest, l^hile the word itself does not ap- ilear in the Bilde until Ex. IG: 23â€"29, nc idea of the Sabbath in revealed Hi the story of creation (sec Gen. 2: I â€" 3). For other important rcfer- tnces, see Kx. 31: 13â€"10; Lev. 19: 3, 30; Deut. o: 12â€"15; Isa. 58: 13; Jer. 17: 21â€"27. "Honor thy father and thy mother, that thy days may be long in the land whch Jehovah thy God giveth thee." "The meaning of the word "honor" is â€" "to attach weight to; to put in the place of superiority; tn hold in high opinion; to reverence, in the best sense of that word." "To the child who is not yet of age to think, to plan, to will, honoring of parents consists in subjection, obedience im- plicitly and gladly rendered. This, like every law of God, is for the child a gracious and yet imperative re- quirement. "Thou shalt not kill."â€" This and the next three commandments have to do with life, purity, property, and reputation. The command not to take another life naturally stands at the beginning of a series of la\\s deal- ing with human relationships. "Thou shalt not commit adultery." â€" Strictly speaking, adultery is vio- lation of the marriage vow on the part of either husband or wife, while the accurate term for sexual rela- tionships outside of the marriage state is fornication. Hoth of them and all sins of every form involved in the.se certainly come within the scope of the Seventh Commandmont. Impurity is probably the mo.st ter- rible curse in our modern Western civilization, and it is getting darker, and deeper, and more prevalent. Our vicious movies have a great deal to do with the careless, indifferent, al- most smart attitude which our pre<- ent generation is taking toward sex- ual sins. No man can treasure evil thoughts and let them remain in his heart. They are like the plant which starts in the recesses of youi porch, which presently beings to creep out into the light. No man can think foul thoughts, no man can meditate on things that are unworthy without paying the price for it in his man- hood. Keep pure associations. There are evil-minded friends who lovo to spew out upon their suggestions. Against them we can only erect the barrier of aggressive puritj*. "Thou shalt not steal." â€" Under- hand dealing was the besetting sin of the Hebrew. It is exemplilied in the early days in the character of the nati< nal ancestor, Jacob. It is the constant cry in the social toachii.gs of the prophets â€" Hosea, Amos, Isaiah, and Micah. "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." â€" To bear false witness is to make a public statement liefore one or more persons concern- ing another in such a way as to de- liberately utter a falsehood about that person or persons. "Thou shalt not covet thy neigh- bor's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife, nor his man-servant, nor his maid-servant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor anything that is thy neighbor's."â€" The improper desire is the root of all evil. It can seldom be reached by human legislation. Ilut it is open to the Searcher of hearts. The intent is that which, in the last re- sort, determines the moral character of the act. This last 'word,' is, there- fore, the interpreting clause of the whole Decalogue (Kom. 7:7). Covet- ousness here includes envy, malice, and every other selfish or disinterest- edness, but of all forms of unselfish benevolence. This commandment is, therefore, virtually the law of love, and in this positive sense gives that loftier aspect to the Decalogue, the traces of which havo been already noticed.

Movie ^ *C^ Radi 10 Br VIRGINIA DALE ^ Everything goes in cycles in mo- tion pictures, and just now the Rus- sian cycle threatens to monopolize the screen. No less than three of the most fascinating screen sirens are currently holding forth in the midst of Russian magnificence. There is Marlene Dietrich with Robert Donat. in "Without Armoi" for instance. Miss Dietrich and Rob- ert Donat make a thrilling romantic pair. Another of the Russian cycle is "The Emperor's Candlesticks" in which Luise- Rainer and William Powell appear as rival spies of Rus- sia and Poland. Last, but by no means least, particularly for music lovers, is "Two Who Dared" with Anna Sten, who has been too long absent from our screens, are his best friends • • • At last George Raft is out of ,:rclusion and he is so relieved.

Vallee is a great story teller, and one of his favorites concerns Jack Benny. Vallee whole-heartedly admires the drastic way in which Jack Benny treated a hostile vaude- ville audience years ago.
