SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON LESSON X iOD REQUIRES SOCIAL JUSTICfi Leviticus 19: 1-13, 32-37. Printed Text: Leviticus 19: 9-18, 32-37. Golden Text â€" As ye would that men jhould do to you, do ye also to them likewiseâ€" Luke 6: 31. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Timeâ€" B.C. 1197. Place â€" Undoubtedly these words Kero uttered by the Loi'd to Jloses Jrom the lahernacle of the congroga- lion located not far away from Mount Binai, where the Israelites were en- camped (see Lev. 1: 1). "And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shall not wholly reap Ihe corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy har- vest." "And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the fallen fruit of thy vineyard; thou Bhalt leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: I am Jehovah your God." There is -no book in all the world which so tenderly, and justly, and helpfully considers the condition of the poor as do both the Old and New Testaments (see also Deut. 15: 4-11; 21: 12-15; Ps. 41: 1; 72: 13; 82; 3, 4; Prov. 28: 3, 8, 11, 15; Isa. 11: 4; Matt. 11: 5; Luke 14: 13; 18: 22). ''Ye shall not steal." (see Ex. 20: 15; 21: IG; 22: 1; Deut. 5. 19; 24: 7; Prov. 30: 9; Rom. 2: 21; 13: 9; Eph. 4: 28.) "Neither shall ye deal faisely, nor lie one to another." (See Ktl. 20: IS; Lev. G: 2; Eph. 4: 25; Col. 3:9.) Steal- ing is often followed by lying, because a person who will steal will attempt to cover up the theft by untruthful words. "And ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of thy God: 1 am Jehovah." This admonition corresponds with the Third Cnmamnd- ment. "Thou shalt not oppress thy neigh- bor, nor rob him." There are so many ways of oppressing one's neighbor â€" by making it inconvenient for him to have packages delivered to his door because access to his home is across a piece of property that another owns; by making it so ditagreeable for one's neighbor that he will be compelled to move from the community. "The wages of a hired servant shall not (bide with thee all night until the ri>.u.» .«.»»a»,>^ i morning." While the letter of this command cannot be carried out in most cases today, i.e., the payment of laborers each night, yet the spirit of it can bo carried out by paying lab- orers at the time when an employer enters inlo an agreement with his em- ployees to pay them. ''Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind; but thou shalt fear f.hy God: I am Je- hovah." "Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the per- son of the mighty; but in righteous- ness shalt thou judge thy neighbor." In this verse God turns our attention away from personal wrongs to official wrongs, giving a commandment in- tended to guard men against injustice as they stand in courts of law. "Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people." ''The original word from which 'tale-bear- er' is translated, literally signifies a traitor, a peddler, and is here applied to one who travels up and down deal- ing in slanders and detractions, as a merchant does in wares, possessing himself of the secrets of individuals and of families, and then blazing them abroad, usually with a distortion of motives and facts." 'Neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor; I am Je- hovah." This command is simply to further protect the life of our neighbors by forbidding the children of Israel to stand aside while the life of any neighbor was in danger, i.e., in drown- ing, in attack by robbers or wild beasts. Probably alsT it means that, if we have knowledge of another's crime in the shei^ding of the blood of some person, we are not to keep silence when possessing such knowl- edge. Thou Shalt Not Hate "Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart." Of course it is in the heart where hatred lives. Hatred can quickly grow so powerful in one's life that it can lead to almost every sin imaginable, including murder, "Thou shalt surely rebuke thy neighbor." We can properly obey this command only if We rebuke others in the light of God's word, in the power of the Holy Spirit, and in love. "And not bear sin because of him." "If I do not warn my brother when the opportunity of- fers, I am to be blamed for want of truth and love." ''Thou Shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor ao thyself; I am Jehovah." This ia the first tlmo in the Bible that the command to love one another ap- pears. ''We are told to love incom- patible members of the families and kindreds with which we are associat- ed, and perhaps they are occasions of irritation to us, thorns stabbing our most densely massed and delicate nerve-processes. "Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man, and thou shalt fear thy God: I am Jehovah." 'When you meet them in public places, or they come to where you are, show them reverence. Infirmity, wisdom, nay, age in itself, have each a claim on us. "And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong." "The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the home- born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye wore sojourn- ers in the land of Egypt: I am Je- hovali your God." The law command- ing the Israelites to be kind to strang- ers is frequently repeated in the Pen- tateuch. "Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quality." "Just bal- ances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just bin, shall ye have.'' ''It is of no account to keep the Sabbath â€" in a way â€" and reverence outwardly â€" the sanctuary, and then on the week day water milk, adulterate medicines and foods, slip the yardstick in measuring, tip the balance in weighing, and buy with one weight or measure and sell with another, and 'water' stocks, aa the manner of many is. God hates, and even honest atheists despise re- ligion of this kind. A religion which is only used on Sundays has no holi- ness in it." "I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt." "And ye shall observe all my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and do them: I am Jehovah." There are three fun- damental reasons here given to per- suade, and encourage, and even com- pel man to obey these and other laws which God has given: the fact that the one who gives these laws is none other than Jehovah, the omnipotent sovereign, th only true and living God; that this Supreme One beside whom there is no other, though exalt- ed in heaven and invisible to the nak- ed eye, is yet "our God"â€" ours In love, ours to guide us, ours to pray to, the God before whom, some day. we iMierHne Cut oaBoA^ Around The Dial Radio Year at Ex. Well folks the "Ex" is on us again and this year is going to be a ban- ner year as far as radio ia concern- ed. They may call it something else but to me it is goin^ to be "Radio Year." Every possible arrangement has been made to broadcast all the important events that take place, the swim, the bands, dance orchestras, athletic events, even the good old shall stand and the God who knows all that we do. Finally, to Israel, Je- hovah was the God who had redeem- ed them from the bondage of Egypt, and, to us, the Father of our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, who sent his Son that we should be redeemed from sin and the power of Satan, and that we should be brought into the very presence of God by his love and grace.

There will be all the new radio sets on display and this will afford all the prospective buyers a chance to judge both from looks and sound the set they wish to buy. This girl Deanna Durbm is really going places. Born in Winnipeg 14 years ago she took part in all the amateur shows and finally was "dis- covered" by Eddie Cantor. She has a remarkable voice and is just as pretty as her voice Is sweet. She starts her program with Cantor this coming fall, September 12th to be exact, and we will harbor a guess that she will be the hit of the pro- gram. he was chosen head of that outfit. Other officers are LawTence T'bbett, Helen Hayes. Jascha Heifetz, Norman Field and Jimmy Wallington, vice- presidents; Lucille Wall, recording secretary, and Georse Heller, treas- urer. The Big Fight Well, all the ax'rangements have been made for the big fight on the 2Gth. Clem McCarthy -s to be the official announcer at tne ringside and his mile-a-minute description will surely give all the radio fans their money's worth. He is recognized as the leading sports commentator on events such as this. The fight will be broadcast v a short wave to Britain, Mexico, -Argentine, and all Spanish speaking countries with Alonso No- riega and Julian Muriel both hand- ling microphones for the foreign countre.s. Just about the only musical instru- ment in the worla on which one could wash one's shirt is the wash- board used by Paul Trietsch on those Station EZRA broadcasts over the networks. The iradget is 17 years old this month. It was away back in 1920 that Trietsch designed and built the freak apparatus which since has reduced bis laundry bill and help- ed him earn his living. The music'- an's washboard is equipped with six auto horns pitched to different tones, one wood block, two cow bells, one studio auto horn, two pie-pan cymlials and six "stop and go" signs which light up when h plays . . When Kate Smith returns to the air on Septem- ber 30th, she will have Jack Miller back again with his orchestra to sup- ply the musical background.

That, believe it or not. tells fhe orchestra to start right at the be- ginning of the score â€" at the introduc- tion. If the leader should assume a droopy posture and point a digit to tho lioor it means the musicians start playing right at the chorus . . . You just watch Geoffrey Wadd ngton, Percy Faith or Jack .\rthur some time. And if you should see them close a fist and shake it vigorously before the orchestra members, do not think they are planning to start a fight, they merely are telling the orchestra to "Stop where you are." This of course is only when time necessitates cutting the music imme- diately. If speeding up is all that's re<iuired the leader draws his finger across his throat as if to slit it or in- dicate that mebbc he'd slit some- body else's, not mentioning any names.
