THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. â€" The Ten Command- ments were delivered 1498 B.C.; the incident in the life of Gehazi took place 894 B.C.; the book of Proverbs was written somewhere about 995 B.C.; the passage from the Gospel of Matthew was utter- ed in April, A.D. 29; the conver- sation recorded in the ieghth chapter of John occurred in Octo- her of the same year; the epistle to the Ephesians was written A.D. 64; the book of Rovelation, about A.D. 90. Place. â€" The Ten Command- ments were given on Mount Sinai. We do not know where Elishaf was staying at this time, nor v.Cliere Gehazi overtook Naaman, nor do we know where the book of Prov- erbs was written. The words tak- en from Matthew were spoken at Capernaum; the conversation in the book of John took place in Jerusalem ; the epistle to the Ephe- sians was written from Rome to the great Greek city on the east- ern shore of the Aegean Sea; the visions recorded in the book of Revelation were given to John while he was on the island of Pat- mos, located in the southern part of the Aegean Sea, between Greece and the Province of Asia. 16. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. See also Deut. 5: 20, and, for the pan- alty of bearing false witness, Deut. 19: 16-21. The worst or most serious form of a lie is per- jury â€" false witness-bearing, that is, to a neighbor's hurt in civil or criminal prosecution-s. We trans- gress this commandment when- ever we conceive a strong sus- picion and repeat it as a thing we know. There is perhaps no command- ment in the Decalogue â€" certainly none in the second table â€" so frequently broken by us as that with which we are dealing. The pages of the Old Testament are dark with the records of men and women who lied about other men and women. Our Lord him- self was the greatest sufferer of all in the matter of false testi- mony. Matt. 15: 19, 20. 19. For out of the heart come forth evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, for- nifications, thefts, false witness, railings: 20. these are the things which defile the man; 'but to eat with unwashed hands defileth not the man. The sins here enumer- ated are those which violate the Sixth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth commandments. The particular point which our Lord is here em- phasizing is that the Pharisees were sinning in their severe in- sistence that food eaten with un- washed hands defiles a man, whereas the truth is that real de- filement is not derived from the things we eat, or the manner in which we eat them," but in the things which proceed from our heart, many of which find their expression with tha tongue and the lips. Father Of All L!e> John 8: 42-47. 42. Jesus said unto them. If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I came forth and am come from God; for neither have I come of myself, but he sent me. 43. Why do ye not understand my speech? Even because ye cannot hear my word. Jesus now says that the i-eason why they refu.sed to ac- cept what he was saying was be- cause they could not hear hi.s word, i.e., they were in such a condition of spiritual death that the words Jesus wa.s uttering fell, as it were, on deaf cars. 41. Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father it is your will to do. This is true of all men until grace rescn: rates them. He was a murderci' from the beginning. And standct'.i not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh, he speakcth of his own : for he is a liar, and the father thereof. This distinguishes Satan from all other evil persons. The lie has become his rfature; it is his own; he has made it so by identifying his will with it. 45. But because I say the truth, ye believe me not. 46. Which of you convictetb me of sin? If I say truth, why do ye not believe me? 47; He that is of God heareth the words of God: for this cause 7« hear them not, because yc are not of God. Refusing to believe Christ is not a matter of superior intnllact, but arises from sbsolute Arc You Listening?

If you are aware at all times that your eyes are the most delicate organs in your body and must be protected because they cannot be replaced, you have then taken the major step in eye protection. You will have your eyes examined at least once a year and if glasses are prescribed, they should always be checked with the original prescription and changed whenever stipulated by your doc- tor. If one is experiencing severe headaches possibly the eyes are the cause of the discomfort. When reading always be sure that the light rays â€" either natural or arti- ficial â€" are not reflected directly into your face. If as a pupil in school you are having difficulty in seeing the blackboard, do not hesitate to mention this to your teacher who will be only too pleas- ed to change your seat and thus avoid eye strain. Too often people develop the bad habit of rubbing their eyes with their dirty fingers, public towels and godlessness. To have God and not to believe Christ is an impossible situation. 25. Wherefore. This word re- fers back to the preceding para- graph (vs. 17-24). Putting away falsehood. Speak ye truth each one with his neighbor. A neigh- bor, the Scripture teaches us, is a fellow man of any creed or na- tion ; and to all such we are bound to speak the truth. We are to watch ourselves scrupulously that we do not lie to others in busi- ness, in home life, in social life, at the lodge, in witing letters, in speaking from the platform, in re- porting conversations, in making promises in telling others about our own achievements. For we are members one of another. Chri.stians are bound by recipro- cal tics and obligations, and false- hood wars against such a union. }or dramatic shows.

LONDON CALLING Owners of new 1939 DePorest Crosley "Spread-Band" radio mod- els aro getting a new thrill out of tuning their radio to bring in dis- tant stations on the six spread bands (especially the four individ- ual channels, devoted to the short- wave metre bands). Any owner of a now DeForest Crosley "Music Mas- ter" model can tune in London, England, and listen to the news be- ing broadcast direct, at 7:40 p.m., EST., just as though it was the broadcast of a Canadian station. soiled handkerchiefs. Lack of sanitary care is apt to cause in- fection which will rob you of part or all of your vision. Accidental Injury Another important step in the preservation of one's sight is the protection of yourself from those with whom you come in contact. The files of the Canadian Na- tional Institute for the Blind are filled with cases of eye injuries leading to either partial or total impairment of vision through ac- cidents caused by others. Boys and girls in schools and men and women in offices have lost their sight because of the harmless pro- jecting of a paper clip, a piece of orange peel or tinfoil on an elastic band. Many have lost the sight of one of their eyes in or- dinary school showers and locker- rooms because of the snapping of towels. In all these instances there was no intent to damage or harm â€" a mere accident. These ac- cidents have not only injured the eyes but have often warped the lives of the individuals injured. No one would intentionally lose his sight and yet statistics gath- ered by the Canadian National In- stitute for the Blind for the past twenty years show that approxi- mately 50 per cent, of the blind people in Canada need never have been blind had the proper care and protective measures been used. This means that 4,500 Cana- dians are needlessly living in a world of darkness. Why lose your sight? Exercise extreme caution, protect your sight and your eyes will protect you!

Each Child Owes Debt Of $676.00 Every child in the Province of Ontario born this year re- ceives a legacy of debt of $676.12, Evan Gray, president, declared to the Ontario Asso- ciated Board of Trade and Commerce at Toronto last tveek. He said he "looked back with regret to 1904, when On- tario had no public debt." The debt of present-day children is 'a considerable economic hand- icap for the new arrival, who still has to pay for everythingf he is to get." How G>f f ee Came Into Daily Use It Once Had to Be Bootlegged Because It Was Thought EvU And Intoxicating The world does move, as proved by the historical fact that once It was necessary to bootleg coffee, notably In Mahomniedan countries because it was classified as an in- toxicant and banned by religious regulation. Coffee was not even known to be edible or potable before the ninth Gentry of the Christian era, and It was not until the middle of the six- teenth centry that the ban against it was permanently removed every- where in the world. Orgiuially cal- led "cawaah," in Its Oriental spel- ling, coffee camo by way of Europe into the Baltic Sea area, thence into Holland and England, and thenco to North America. The Wes- tern World dominates the coffee trade and ranks high in coffee use. Cost $20 Per Pound When yve stop in to buy om- fa- vorite blend, ground to suit our own method of brewing, tor just a tew cents a pound, it seems hard to rea- lize that when the coffee house of England first had it, coffee cost $20 a pound. Curious Bear Scares Doctor Physician on Hunting Trip Wakes to Find Mother Near Him, Cub Poking for Candy .â- V certain Toronto doctor, who prefers to remain unidentified, will think twice in future before falling asleep on a deer runway. The doctor camo to the Haliburton County district of Donald, On- tario, to shoot deer. Now he is recovering from fright caused by an inquisitive mother bear and two cubs with a taste for chocolate bars. The hunter fell asleep in a clump of bushes while waiting for deer. He awoke to find a huge black bear staring at him curious- ly. A cub was licking contentedly at a piece of chocolate sticking from his hunting coat pocket. A second cub was trying to get in a few licks, too. Jumping to his feet with a yell, the doctor ran. HOW CAN I? By ANNE ASHLEY Q. â€" How can I prevent tearing a dress pattern? A. â€" Cut the dress patterns out of old cloth instead of paper. This kind of pattern will not tear, and it will cling to the goods without pinning. Q. â€" How can I remove spots of paint readily from the knobs, locks and hinges of a door or win- dow when I am painting? A. â€" Before painting, coat all the hardware with paraffin or petroleum ointment. The spots of paint can then be very readily re- moved. Q. â€" How can I avoid having to squeeze the juice of lemons every time a recipe calls for it? .A.. â€" Why not extract the juice of a dozen lemons at a time and keep in a tightly covered glass jar in the refrigerator? It will prove a great convenience. Q. â€" How can I facilitate the work of ironing napkins? A. â€" A good method for ironing napkins is to dip every third nap- kin in warm water, placing it be- tween two dry napkins, then fold and roll. Allow them to stand for about an hour before ironing. - â€" o â€" â-  Q. â€" How can I remove brown marks from dishes, caused by bak- ing in the oven ? A. â€" These marks can be remov- ed by rubbing the spots well with damp salt, then washing off, and repeating the treatment if neces- sary. â€" o â€" Q. â€" How can I treat siars that have resulted from pimples? .A. â€" These scars usually will disappear very soon if they are bathed with a solution of boracic acid, followed by an application of zinc ointment. Western Drought Decreases Ducks Dan McCowaui, Naturalist, Ad- vocates Closed Season for Them One Year in Every Four Canada's wild life has suffered so severely because of the drought in the West that it would be advisable to have a closed season of at least one year in four In order to allow ducks to breed up again to fair numbers, according to Dan McGow- an, naturalist of Banff. Alta. "As far as ducks are concerned," ho said, "I can only suggest protec- tion from the guns of hunters for them as the best means of iacreas- Ing their numbers. I would say that leap-jteara â€" they are easily re- membered â€" should huvo no duck hunting si-:isou." Sloughs Have Dried Up Ducks, he explained, have suffer- ed gravely because sloushs in which they formerly nested in Can- ada and also in the United States were in the drought years convert- ed Into bowls of bard dried mud. "They .simply hud found uo place to nest," he explaiued. "And in ad- dition, thei'c was a scarcity of their natural food." Artificial eyelashes, each of which carries a tiny precious stone, are being sold in Paris to be fitted over the natural lashes.
