THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., SEPT. 1, 1938 Sunday School Lesson LESSON X SAMUEL: SPIRITUAL REVIVAL 1 Samuel 7:1-17 Printed Text--1 Samuel 7:3-13 Golden Text.--Direct your hearts unto Jehovah, and serve him only. 1 Samuel 7:3. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--1121-1101 B.C. Place.--Kiriath-jearini was located about seven and one-half miles from Jerusalem; Mizpah was in the tribe of Benjamin, and may be what is now known as Mount Scopus, immediately north of Jerusalem; Ebenezer was also a few miles north of Jerusalem, between the cities of Mizpah and Shen, though we do not know its exact location, 3. And Samuel. Where had Samuel been all of these years, and what had he been doing? How we should like to know definitely! Already his fame as a prophet had spread throughout the land; and the Israelites, though depressed, were inclined to listen to his words more than to the words of any other leader of their day. Levite, Nazirite, prophet, he possessed every qualification for attracting respect and acting as teacher. A life of holiness and self-denial, consistent in every particular, well known to all Israel, carried with it an authority that could not be acknowledged by every real Israelite. Spake unto all the house of Israel, saying, If ye do return unto Jehovah with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among ycu. and direct your hearts unto Jehovah and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines. At Ra-mah, where his influence was greatest, he raised an altar and performed the worship of Jehovah with such faithful Israelites as he could find to join him. Steadily and warily he won his way into the hearts of his countrymen. With unwearied zeal he went up and down among them from one end of the land to the other reproving, rebuking, exhorting. He recalled to mind their ancient glory, infused into their hearts the long-forgo: en ideas so familiar to their f<: re- fathers--the special providence that watched over them, the guid-once exercised, the prosperity consequent upon obedience, the punishment that followed the infringement of divine commands. Paganism Put Away 4. Then the children of Israel did put away Baalim and the Ashtaroth and served Jehovah only. It is a great day for any family, for any man, for any nation, when strange gods, false deities, idols of every kind, are definitely put 5. And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray for you unto Jehovah. "Mizpah" means watch-tower, and was the meeting-place of the national assembly. It was located in the tribe of Benja- 6. And they gathered together to Mizpah. And drew water, and poured it out before Jeohvah, and fasted on that day, and said there, We have sinner against Jehovah. And Samuel judged the children of Israel, in Mizpah. The pouring forth of water may have implied that they poured from their full hearts fruits of penitence and tears; that they desired by the, heaviness of their grief to wash their land free from the accumulated evil of the past years. Here is probably the first time in twenty years that Israel made a .public confession of her sin. Defeat of the Philistines 7. And when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel were gathered together to Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard it, they were afraid of the Philistines. 8. And the children of Israel said to Samuel, Cease not to cry unto Jehovah pur God for us, that he will save us out of the hand of the Philistines. 9. And Samuel took a sucking lamb, and offered it for a whole burnt-offering unto Jehovah: and Samuel cried unto Jehovah for Israel; and Jehovah answered him. How altogether different is the condition of Israel now from what it was twenty years before this when they suffered defeat at the hands of the Philistines! Then they had only the symbol of God's gracious presence, now they had the reality. Then their spiritual guides were the wicked Hophni and Phinehas; now their guide was holy Samuel. 10. And as Samuel was offering up the burnt-offering, the Philis- A/07" "iC WRITE -'-HECKS LESS THAN HAVE NO TRUE VO/CET/ I HAVING- NO \OCAL CORDS THEIR ONLY VOICE IS A HISS, CAUSED BV AIR RUSHING FROM THE THROAT WHEN THE LUNGS ARE DEFLATED.

Waring plans to use youthful college glee clubs or other similar semi-amateur experienced voices. Arias from operas as well as the best in semi-classic and popular field will constitute the basis of this new male choir singing. TOSCANINI TO CONDUCT Comprising one of the most complete schedules in the history of Metropolitan Opera, Great Plays and the NBC Symphony Orchestra, Arturo Toscanini will direct 12 of the orchestra series which begins October 15th. WALTER DAMROSCH BACK The famous NBC "Music Appreciation Hour" will be presented for the 11th season under the direction of music counsellor Walter Damrosch. METROPOLITAN OPERA For the eighth consecutive year, radio will again afford listeners * the opportunity of enjoying the-greatest music dramas right in their own homes. Each Saturday the NBC Networks will carry a complete performance by the world's outstanding artists, direct from the stage of the Metropolitan Opera House. "BANDWAGON" FOR DANCERS From the smooth strains of Guy Lombardo to the swing arrangements of Benny Goodman, a lively new NBC Red Network program starts Sunday, September 4th. Other big names for this series includes Lopez, Duchin, Bernie, Dorsey and Kemp, thus giving a complete picture to listeners of today's popular music--Hot, Sweet and in between. This replaces the "Interesting Neighbors" program. "PIPE FOR BERGEN" No matter where Bergen and Charlie McCarthy spend their vacation late this month, NBC "Mikemen" will be there with a microphone and "Pipe" him (as they call it) into his usual Sunday night broadcast. NEW RADIO SETS The latest contribution to "Magic of Radio" is the spreading out of short-wave bands so that what previously had to be cramped into two bands has now been extended to five channels--thus preventing overlapping of stations-- making short-wave reception as easy to tune in an local reception. This is a feature of the new 1939 DeForest Crosley, Music Master, Symphony Series. tines drew near to battle against Israel; but Jehovah thundered with a great thunder on that day upon the Philistines and discomfited them; and they were smitten down before Israel. The word here translated "discomfited" expresses the idea of a confusion resulting from sudden panic. 11. And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah, and pursued the, Philistines, and smote therr, until they came under Beth-car. "Stone of Help" 12. Then Samuel took a stone, and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and called the name of it Eben-ezer, saying, Hitherto hath Jehovah helped us. The exact cation of Ebenezer, the word meaning "the stone of help," is not known, but it must have been situated a few miles north of Jerusalem between the cities of Mizpah and Shen. Ebenezer was the exact place, where, twenty years before, Israel had suffered defeat at the loss of the ark. 13. So the Philistines were subdued, and they came no more within the border of Israel: and the hand -' Jehovah was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel. From this time Samuel was cer-" tainly without any question the supreme leader of Israel, and so he continued to be down to the time of his death. There is a lesson here for every child of God; when we really turn to God in confession, willing to yield to him, and he wins a victory for us in our life, as he absolutely can on every occasion, we not only recover all the territory in our life which had been lost A Wonderful Leader Samuel is worthy to stand at the side of Moses. It is not without reason that he has been regarded as in dignity and importance occupying the position of a second Moses in relation to the people. In his exhortations and warnings the Deuteronomic discourses of Moses are reflected and repeated. He delivers the nation from the hand of the Philistines, as Moses from Pharaoh and the Egyptians, and opens up for them a new national era of progress and order under the rule of the kings whom they have desired. Claims Crime Is "Necessary" Psychologist Says It Keeps The World Away From Savagery --Moral Acts Those in Accord With Public Welfare A prominent psychologist asserted last week if there were no law breakers and all laws were obeyed the world would revert to savagery. In the law-breaking class he put the Christian marytrs. The psychologist -- Dr. Knight Dunlap, professor of psychology at the University of California at Los Angeles -- championed the "necessity" of crime in an article for the forthcoming (September) issue of the California Monthly, publication of the University of California's alumni. Some Laws Are Wrong Dr. Dunlap argued that there was nothing really wrong about violating a "bad" law and that the "crime" involved might even benefit society in the end by contributing to the elimination of the improper statute. "If we assume that it is one's duty to promote public welfare and to avoid acts against public welfare," he said, "we can hardly avoid the conclusion that under certain circumstances it is one's duty to commit crime. This situation arises because there are laws which really are detrimental to public welfare."

Says the King Coming in 1939 To Canada and U. S.--Liverpool Paper Declares Trip 'Almost Certainty' The Liverpool Post in its London letter last week said the King and Queen will "almost certainly" visit Canada and the United States during 1939, although no plans have yet been discussed and no invitations issued'. It was understood, the column said, that Lord Tweedsmuir, Governor-General of Canada, mentioned unofficially the possibility of a visit though an invitation from Canada would come through the prime minister. Will Make Arrangements The column added that Lord Stanley, dominions secretary might discuss arrangements with Prime Miniser Mackenzie King. At Ottawa,'Mr. King recently said the King needed no invitation to visit the Dominion. Canada always stood ready to welcome its sovereign. Negroes Propose African Homeland Would Ask Gifts of Territory From France and England-- Liberia as Nucleus A demand that the British Government act to improve the social and economic lot of the negroes of the West Indies was contained in a resolution passed at the final session of the convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Toronto last week. The resolution pointed out that 1938 was the 100th anniversary of the West Indian negroes, and called on British authorities to rescue them from what it termed wretched economic conditions. Would Improve Race The 180 men and women delegates, who represent a 4,000,000 POP--A Static Condition J. MILLAR WATT THE RICH WILL BE RJCHER AND THE POOR WILL BE POORER * membership scattered all over the world, were in session for eleven days, and considered mainly the position of the race and the means at hand to improve it. They reelected Marcus Garvey of London, Eng., President-General, and Miss Ethel Collins of New York City, Secretary. Thomas Harvey of Philadelphia, was elected Chancellor. Ultimate objectives of the association is the setting up of a homeland for the negroes of the world in Africa, with the present negro State o£ Liberia forming the nucleus to which would be added territorial gifts from France and England. How Daylight Saving Began Was Adopted Generally in Europe During the Great War --Called "Summer Tirr.e" Daylight saving was adopted in nearly every country in Europe in the second year of the War, the idea being that, by getting people up an hour earlier, there would be a great saving in fuel for lighting and heating. In many countries, however, it was dropped when war ended. "Summer time" is observed today in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain and Portugal. Summer time bills were also approved in Canada in 1934, and in New Zealand in 1927. The United States seems unable to make up its mind. Some states use it, while others do not. He Originated It The idea was advocated long before the war by a Chelsea (England) builder, William Will-ett. WiHett was himself an early riser, and used to ride in Petts Wood, Chislehurst, on summer mornings before coming to town for business. In the evenings ha It was while enjoying these recreations in 1907 that he conceived the idea of extending the hours of daylight available for leisure. He devoted himself to a campaign, and in 1908 Mr. (afterwards Sir Sibert) Pearce introduced a Bill in the British House of Commons to put the clock on by law. At first it was laughed at, but the Bill continued to come up year after year with increasing support Wiliett never lived to see the Act in force, for he died m March, 1915. A. memorial to him now stands in Petts Wood. Summer time was introduced for the first time on May 21, 1916, but it was not until 1925 that the final and permanent Act was passed.
