:) Sunday School Lesson LESSON II SPIRITUAL WORSHIP Exodue 20:4C; 32:1-8; John -1:19-24 -Golden Text â€" "God It a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:24. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time â€" The Ten Commandments â- were given 1498 B.C. The conver- sation with the woman at the well took place In December. A.D. 27. Place â€" The Ten Command- TnentB, of course, were given on Mount Sinai. The city of Sychar la the modern village of El-Aakar, five eighths of a mHe north of Jacob's well. 4. Thou Shalt not make unto thee a graven image. The First Commandment forbids U3 to wor- ship false gods, the Second forbids us to woi-sh4p the true God under false forms. The Hebrews had come out of Egypt; and Egypt was a land that â- was crowded with the Images of a twofold mythology â€" of the old African deities and of the new foreign gods of the Shepherd Dyn- asty. The tribes had brought with them small, portable images of the Egyptian deities into the wilder- ness. Nor any likeness of anything that is in heaven above. This might refer to God who dwelt In heaven, or the angels, but also to the sun, mcon, and stars, which were wor- shiped by heathen nations every- where in the ancient world. Or that is in the earth beneath, or that Is In the water under the earth. Bowing Down to Images 5. Thou Shalt not bow down thy- self unto them , nor serve them. What the second commandment forbids is the making of images to he used in worship. It has always happened again and again, in every country, In every age, that ultim- ately the deity represented by the image is forgotten, and the Image Itself becameg the object of wor- ship. For I Jehovah thy God am a jea- lous God, who will not tolerate that the reverence due to him should not be given to him â€" whether to another God, or, as here, to an im- age worshipped Visiting the iniqu- ity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that do hate me. The iniquity here spoken of is that of polytheism, or idolatry, of having or making any other God. The history of the world also siiows that the ungodliness of the fathers, is, as a rule of fallen nat- ure, followed by the sous. C. And showing lovingkindness of them that love me and keep my commandmen.ts. While God is abso- lutely just and absolutely,.holy, yet God loves men and longs to have them love him. That is almost the only place in the first six books of the Bible where love to God is mentioned. The Golden Cait 1. And when the people saw tliat Moses delayed to come down from the mount, the people gathered themselves together unto Aaron, and said unto him. Up, make us gods, which shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we know not what is be- come of him. When the people said that they did not know what had happened to Moses, they were tell- ing what was not true, and they knew it was not true. They knew that Moses was up there in the mount with Jehovah. Instead of asking Aaron or some other person to take the place of Moses as a man needing God's presence and power, they made the awful re- quest of Aarotx, who was the high priest, actually to make for them gods who could lead them in the days to come. 2. And Aaron said unto them. Break off the golden rings, which are in the ears of your wives, of your sons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. 3. And all the people brake oft the golden rings which were in their ears, and brought them unto Aaron. 4. And lie received it at their hand, and fashioned it with a graving tool, and made it a molten calf. The idea of representing God by so awful a thing as this is revolting, and yet when men substitute a false relig- ion for the true worship of God, they have always been known to sink to unbelievable depths. And they said. These are thy gods, Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 5. And when Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it; and Aaron made proclamation, and said. To- morrow shall be a feast to Jehovah. 6. And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered hurnt-offerlngs and brought peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. See 1, Cor. 10:7. The Israelites should have been praying. They should have been singing praises to God for their deliverance. Instead of that they turned this sacred occa- sion into a carnival. 7. And Jehovah spalie unto Moses and said. Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou broughlest up out of the land of Egypt, have cor- rupted themselves. 8. they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them; they have worshipped it, and have sacri- ficed unto it, and said. These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. How terrible It would be It God allowed us to go on in our sinful willfulness, and did not upbraid or punish us, correct and chasten us! Where would any of us be If God never put a restraining hand upon us? 19. The woman saith unto him. Sir, I perceive that thou art a pro- phet. 20. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that In Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. It is clear from this verse that much of the conversation with this woman Is not reported, for we do not have any record here of Jesus, speaking about Jerusalem, though he must have done so. 21. Jesus saith unto her. Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountaiu nor in Je- rusalem, shall ye worship the Fath- er. 22. Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews. The hour to which the Lord refers is, of course, the hour, when, through Christ, God is fully known and truly w'orshiped. 23. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true -worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. 24. God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship in spirti and in truth. That the Father seeks men to be his worshippers is but one of the many evidences, from God's call to Adam in the Garden of Eden down to the last "Come" in the book of Revelation, that God longs that men should be with him, wor- shipping him, knowing him, loving him, and filled with his fullness. The worship which God asks for is spiritual woship, worship that is in spirt and in truth.

Thanksgiving [ [ Lord, for the erring thought Not into evil wrought: I Lord, for the wicked will Betrayed and baffled still: For the heart from itself kept. Our thanksgiving accept. â€" William Dean Howells I ••â- â€¢â- >â-  I Thanksgiving Celebrated By Indians First Festival Existed Centuries Be- fore Puritans Began Annual Celebration. The American custom of cele- brating Thanksgiving with feast- ing and family reunions did not begin with the coming of the white man to these shores. Centuries before the arrival of the Puritans the Indians celebrated the yearly harvest-time with turkey, pump- kins and ball games, according to Te Ata, a member of the Chick- asaw tribe and wife of Dr. Clyde Fisher, writing in the magazine published by the American Mu- seum of Natural History. Thanks for Fruits of Soil "Many people believe that Thanksgiving on this Continnent originated with the Plymouth col- onists in lfi21," she writes. "Ad- mitting that these white settlers may have brought in with them a Thanlcsgiving spirit, it should not be forgotten that the distinctive features of the American Thanks- .triving are native to the country rather than to the settlers, and that the Indians had boon offering up heir thanks for hundreds of years. Late in the Summer season tliat follows close upon the trail of the harvest, the native Ameri- fan has, since ancient times, given thanks for fruits of the soil and of the chase to the Great Spirit and to the Earth-Mother.

Out to- The Oldest Horse In North America Doily Was Driven Daily By Her Crippled O^wner, Walter Carruthers, of Wingkann Dolly, popularly supposed to be the oldest horse in North America, died last week. She was in her 42nd year and tor the past 31 years had been driven nearly every day by her crippled owner, Walter Car- ruthers, of Turuberry Township, Huron County. His home is three miles from Wingham. Every day, except some of the extreme winter ones, Walter Car- ruthers and Dolly have made the three-mile trip to Wingham. They became almost a landmark, and older residents returning to Wing- ham always made sure to look up "Walt and Dolly." Ate Rolled Oats and Hay With reins hangiug limply from her master's hands it was a fami- liar sight In Wingham to see the horse come up to the "stop" siga at the Intersection and halt, then continue on around the corner and stop whenever some friend of the owner's hailed him from the side- walk. In all the 30 years the horse had never been on grass, her meals con- sisting of rolled oats and timothy hay. This was attributed as one of the reasons for her longevity. His Car Stolen? No, Just Washed Blenheim Owner Forgets He Told Garaige To Take Machine Don't tell R. S. Carvolih, of Blenheim, about your embarrassing moments, he knows all about it. Mr. Carvolth reported to police that his car had been stolen from ward the place where the sun goes down, the Indians of the South- west still dance their thanl.s for the bountiful harvests." Are You Listening? dy FREDDIE TEi: SLANTS Comedian Lew Lehr returned from Europe on the Queen Mary with Mrs. Lehr and daughter. Lew has several comedy ideas up his sleeve for his new series with Ben Bernie. Andre Kostelanetz is hold- ing open house in his office on the IGth floor of the CBS building for all his friends who wander in for the lowdown on his recent South .American jaunt. Kenny Baker, the male vocalist for "Star Trea- tre" which makes its debut over CBS on October 5, had only six hours in New York after he ar- rived from England recently, be- cause of Hollywood commitments. While in England Kenny played the role, of "Nanky Poo" in an English picture version of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Mikado". VOICE-CHILD Betty Lou, co-starred with Tom- my Riggs in their new variety show over an NBC-Red Network which began October 1, is the first "voice" to reach full star status. True, Charlie McCarthy is a voice, but he exists for the eye in the physical shape of a ven- triloquist's dummy. Betty Lou is nothing more than the figment of Tommy Riggs' vocal chords and the picture of a little girl that his ' voice creates. Betty Lou was created one day in 1932 when Riggs' vaudeville and radio partner was stricken and had to be rushed to the hos- pital. Having to carry on alone. Tommy created Betty Lou. She was so popular that Rudy Vallee asked him to appear on his pro- gram. The one appearance ran in- to 39 weeks â€" a new record â€" and resulted in the new star roles in the variety show which Riggs and his voice-child will head tliis fall. NEW WORD GAlME Mary Margaret McBride, CBS columnist of the air, has a new version of the "Word Game." She calls it "pet peeves," and applies it to "sissy" words which annoy her. For example, she dislikes "dainty", and won't use "cinema" or "motor" when she means the movies or an automobile.
