We do not know when these events took place, but at least it would be 125 years after the creation of man (see Gen. 5:3). Place. We do not know where these events took place, though, of course, it was somewhere in the) Mesopotamian valley, where civi- liation began. Cain and Abel ]. ''And the man knew Eve his wife ; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, 1 have gotten man with the help of Jehovah. 2(a). Ami again she bare hit brother Abel. 2(b). And Abel was a k. ;K r of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground." The one brother Chooses the more peaceful and emotional, the other the more active, occupation. The pastoral life seems always to have been held in higher esteem than the agricultural among the He- brews. But the agricultural suc- ceeds the pastoral in the order of civilization. Two Offering! 3. "And in process of ti.ne it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an of- fering unto Jehovah. 4. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And Jehovah had respect unto Abel and to hi* of- fering: 5. but unto Cain and to his offering: he liaxl not respect." The key for unlocking the mean- Ing of this entire passage if found in Hebrewi 11:4, where we are told that, 'Abel offered onto God a more excellent sacri- fice than Cain, through which he had witness borne to him that he wae righteous, God bearing wit- nea* in respect of his gifte; and through it he being dead yet peakcth." What seems to be im- plied is that Caln'e offering WM an act of mere homage | Abel'* embodied a seme of sin, an act of contrition, a plea for pardon. Caln'i Anger K(b). "And Cain we* verr wroth, and hU countenance fell.* We have here no spirit of enquiry, no *elf examination, no prayer to God for light or pardon, elearly ehowing that Cain wai far from right state of mind. 6. "And JohoTah said 0in, Why art thoa wroth? and why li thy countenance fallen T T. If thou doect well, shall H not be lifted up? and If thou doeet not well, sin eoucheth at the dooi and unto thee shall be its d*ir*| but do thou rule over it." ThU dread warning to Cain, expressed In the mildest and plalneat termt, fc a standing lesson written for the learning of all mankind. Let htm who Is in the wrong retract at once, and return to Ood with humble acknowledgment f hie wn guilt, and unreserved sub- mission to the mery of hie Maker; for to him who perseveree ! ln there csn be no hope or help. Th Firt Murder 8. "And Cain told Abel. And It came to pass, when they were n the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother, and slew him." One of the striking fea- tures of thin incident is the rapidity with which small sins gen- orate great ones. When Cain went in the joy of harvest and offered his first fruits no thought could be further from his mind than murder. It muy have come as suddenly on himself as on the unsuspecting Abel, but the germ was in him. Familiarity with evil thought ripens us for evil action; and a moment of pnfttuon, an hour's loss of self-control, a tempting occasion muy hurry us into irremediable evil. The Divine Interrogation nil "And Jehovah said unto Cain, where is Abel thy brother'.'" Hero is a question fitted to go straight to the murderer's cou- ecience. Some of us go .so far as to have silenced the voice within; but, for the most part, it speaks immediately after we huve grnii- fled our inclinations wrongly. ''tin. "And ha said, I know not: am 1 my brother's keeper? And he said, what hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's blood orieth ii'iin me from the ground." Ttie cry wai a demand for the punishment of the murderer. The Divine Condemnatioa 11. "And now cursed art thou from the ground which hath op- ened IU mouth to rereive thy krother'f blood from thy hand) IX.

The Merciful Protection 18. "And Cain said unto Je- hovah, My punishment Is greater than I can bear. 14. Behold, thoa haei driven me out this day from tli* face of the ground; and irom Thy face shall I be hid; and I ah all be a fugitive and a wan- derer in the earth; and It will eom t bo paas, that whosoever flnd- eth me will slay me. 16. And Jehovah said unto him, Therefore whosoever slayeth Cain, vengeance ettall be taken on him sevenfold. And Jehovah appointed a rin tor Cain, leet any finding him ebouM smite him."

Germans Plan To Exterminate Jews The Germans have massacred at least 1,000,000 Jews in Kurope since the war began, spokesmen for the World Jewish Congress said recently. The persecution has been par- ticularly severe in the conquered countries of East Kurope, the spokesmen added. Poland, Lat- via, Lithuania and Rumania have suffered jfreatly. They said that probably 700,. 000 Jews had been killed in Lith- uania and Poland, 125,000 in Ru- mania, 200,000 in Russia and 100,000 in the rest of Europe. These victims were selected from Europe's pre-war Jewish popula- tion of C.000,000 to 7,000,000. The slaughter is part of the Nazis' proclaimed policy that 'physical extermination of the Jew must from now on be the aim of Germany and her allies", the spokesmen said. Norse In Red Army Nearly 500 Norwegian volun- teers, who escaped through Fin- land and over the sea to Russia, are fighting with Soviet army on the Arctic front, the BBC quoted the Norwegian Telegraph Agency as saying recently. Scouting Wolf Cuba of the 1st Hariing. ton (Middlesex) Wolf Cub pack gathered in nearly $260 for the local Warship Week by showing in the foyer of a movie theatre a miniature model representation of a Nazi attack on a convoy. The scene included a submarine hall' submerged, a destroyer in the act of dropping a depth charge and a German plane crashing into the sea. Every detail was complete, to rung ladders for the ship bridges and the lifeboat equip- ment. A tribute to the practical value of Boy Scout training paid by Col. R. G. Whitelaw, Director ef Military Training, included the statement that among boys com- ing up for military training, those who have been Boy Scouts stand out. Wrote Col. Whitelaw In a recent letter to Mr. John A. Stiles, Executive Chief Commissioner et the Boy Scouts Association, "The development of character, cour- age and sense of responsibility produced through your lectures and practical application of wood- craft, camping, swimming, navl- gation and handicrafts of varioua sorts, all add up to a total which makes the Boy Scout stand out far ahead of the average boy who has not had the advantage oi this training." Splendid service was given by the Boy Scouts of Norwich, Eng- land, during and following the ferocious raids of the Nazis on that ancient city. The boye' fearless carrying-on In spite of dive bombing and fires won un- stinted admiration. They ran messages, fought incendiary bombs, rendered first aid, and assisted in countless other ways. After the blitz, they distributed special notices to the population, guided people to rest centres, re- united families, and for inquiring soldiers and sailors secured infor- mation of families in wrecked areas. They salvaged and removed the furniture by vans and Scout trek- <-arts, helped at emergency food centres, and prepared meals over fires in open spaces. They as- sisted with feeding arrangements for police, firemen and rescue workers from outside places, and guided the helpers to desired points. In addition, they looked after hundreds of injured dogs and cats. Incidentally several of the Scout troops lost their own meeting places and all their scout- ing equipment. One troop lost out-of-town headquarters, a build- ing of concrete and wood built entirely by the hoys over a period of several years. Facing the heap of rubble, one of the Scouts in- quired of hi.s district commission- er, "When do we start rebuilding, Skipper?"

RADIO REPOBTER DIALING WITH DAVE: Mary Shipp, tali, willowy blonde who plays the role of philandering Henry's most constant sweetheart on "The Aldrich Family" did a switch on the old story of a girl seeking a career in Hollywood. She is a native of the cinema city, but recently deserted her home for New York, and is now one of the busiest actresses along radio row. Mary was graduated from Los Angeles City College where she majored in dramatics and stepped from the classroom to the network broadcasting stu- dios. During the last year stie played leads opposite such exact- ing stars as Orson Welles, Charlet Boyer, Robert Young and others. In New York, Miss Shipp won over stiff competition for the role of Kathleen Anderson on "The Aldrich Family" and performed so well that author Clifford Gold- smith decided to make Kathleen a more frequent visitor in thw cast. it may be vacation time for some folks, but it's just double duty time for Meredith Wilson. Not that he doesn't like it, for the tireless NBC West Coast con- ductor and composer has always had a busy schedule. Taking over, with his orchestra, the important "Fibber McGee and Molly" spot for 13 weeks with the "America Sings" show, is just one item on the Wilson agenda. He also con- tinues as musical director of Fanny Brice Frank Morgan show. And to add to all this, during his spare time, Meredith Wilson pens hit parade song in the popular vein, and aemi-clas- sics in the militant war-time vein m of today. Hi* most recent success is "Song of Steel," a great and * mighty melody dedicated to the men in the war factoriei the coun- try over. Hear it sung by Thomas ' L.
