Printed Text--Deuteronomy 6:4, 5; 11: 18--25. Golden Text--Train up a child in the way he should go, And even when he is old he will not depart from it. Proy. 22: 6.- The Lesson In Its Setting Place--All. the early chapters _ of Deuteronomy record discourses given by Moses on the east side of the Jordan Jordan River where the Israelites were encamped in what are known as the plains of Moab (see Deut. 1: 1). Time--B.C. 1459. "Hear, 0 Israel: Jehovah our God is one Jehovah. And thou slialt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might."--There is hardly a greater passage in all the Old Testament Testament than this, recognized by the Jews as "the great commandment in the law," "the first of all commandments," commandments," and called by the Lord Jesus himself "the great and first commandment" commandment" (Matt. 22: 36, 37; Mark. 12: 29; Luke 10:, 27). "Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul."--Solomon well said:-- "Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life" (Prov. 4: 23). Our Lord said that "out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaketh." "The good man out of his good treasure bringeth forth good things, and She evil man out of his efil treasure, bringeth forth evil things" (Matt. 12: 35). If- we lay up the words of God in our heart and soul, then the fountain of our life will be holy, for the word of God is holy; our heart will be right, for the word of God is right (119: 75, Authorized Version). As David himself said: "Thy word have 1 laid up in my heart, that I might not sin against thee" (Ps. 119: 11). "Blessed "Blessed are they that are : perfect in the way, who walk in the law of Jehovah. Jehovah. Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, that seek him with the whole heart" (Ps. 119: 1,2), Ann and Forehead "And ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and - they shall be for frontlets between your eyes." --The Jews took these verses quite literally. The passages (Ex. 13: 1-- 16; Deut. 6: 4--9; 11: 13--21) were written on parchment rolls and placed placed in cases, so that they could be bound on the arm and forehead during during morning prayer. These, vvyie called phylacteries. The phylactery was a. leather box, cube-shaped, closed by an attached flap and bound to the person by a' leather band. It wa,s bound to the inner side of the left arm and near the elbow, so that with the bending of the arm, it would rest over the heart, the end of the string or band firmly wound around the middle finger of the hand as a "sign upon thy hand." They were to be worn by every male over 13 years of age at the time of morning prayer, except on Sabbaths and festal festal days, such days being in themselves themselves sufficient reminders of the laws of God (see Matt, 23: 5). The phylactery for the forehead was bound on after the one bound upon the arm. The typical significance of all of this was that the hand should do nothing contrary to the law of God, and the mind should never contemplate, anything anything except what was in accord with the law of God. "And ye shall teach them ycur children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou r'isest up." --As the family is the most intimate bond of fellowship among men, it is of the utmost importance that it should be hallowed by religion. All the ' relations of parents, children, and domestics are purified and are strengthened when the whole household household is statedly assembled, morning, and evening, for the worship of God. The character of the church and of the state depends on the character of the family. If religion dies out in the family, it cannot elsewhere be maintained. A man's responsibility to his children, as well as to God, binds him to make his house a Bethel. If not a Bethel, it will be a dwelling, place of evil, spirits. Significance of Home We hear a great deal these days about the loss, in modern life, of a real appreciation of the value and significance of home. The toil of ■every day, and attendance at school, keep the members of our modern Home apart through the day; attendance attendance at the movies, or driving out in our automobiles in thé evening, more and more is depriving our children of the privileges of fellowship with their parents at home. What we need today, for the strengthening of the church, for keeping our children from ultimate disaster, as far as we are able, for building up a mighty wall against the waves of atheism that are coming to us with increasing increasing force, for saving our nation from an utter dissolution of moral integrity-an'd integrity-an'd uprightness, is a return to the sabred precepts here laid down by God himself regarding the teaching teaching concerning God and the word of God at the hearthsi.de of our own homes. Nothing can ever take the place of this. "And thou shalt write .them upon the door-posts of thy house, and upon thy gates."--The word here translated "door-posts" is, in the Hebrew, the word "mezuzah," and this very word is the name of the little case or glass tube which is nailed to the door-posts of the house, and in which a piece of parchment is folded, on which is inscribed on one side the verses found in Deut. 6: 4-- 9 and 11: 13--21, and, on the other the name for God, Shaddai. On leaving or entering the house, a pious , Jew touches the mezuzah with his finger, and puts ■ the finger to his lips, repeating the words' of Ps. 121: 8.' _ V ■"That your days may be multiplied and the days of your children, in the land which Jehovah swarc unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth. For if ye shall diligently keep all this commandment commandment which I command you. to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in. all Ils, ways, and to cleave unto him; , Tiï-en will Jehovah drive out all these nations from before you and ye shall dispossess nations greater and mightier ' than yourselves."--To yourselves."--To fulfill this promise to Israel, God promises that he himself will drive out the nations possessing 'the country which ne intends Israel to have. Israel's Tragedy "Every place whereon the sola of your foot shall tread shall be yours : from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, evën unto the hinder sea shall be your border. There shall no man be able to stand before you: Jehovah your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath spoken unto you."--If the Israelites would be faithful to God, God would faithfully fulfill his promise promise to them, and no power on earth would ever be able to keep the Israelites Israelites from the blessings which were in the heart of God to bestow upon them. The great tragedy was that Israel did not keep these commandments, commandments, and consequently she never fully subdued the pagan and idolatrous idolatrous people whom she found inhabiting inhabiting Palestine upon her entrance into that land under Joshua. move By VIRGINIA DALE . Samuel Goldwyn is taking bows again for succeeding where many other motion picture producers have failed. He has made a new version of an old picture that is even better than the old one--and the first "Stella Dallas" Dallas" was the best picture of its year, some twelve years ago. This picture is frankly a tear-jerker, tear-jerker, the story of a milllmlid's daughter daughter who married a gentleman, but could never become a lady. But "Stella Dallas" was fine and courageous enough to see to it that her daughter had a chance to become one of her father's set rather than hers. Barbara Stanwyck gives a sincere and gripping performance as Stella.
