THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., SEPT. 29,1935 Sunday Sch< Lesson ool LESSON I THE ONE TRUE GOD Exodus 20: 2, 3; Isaiah 45:22; Mark ';2:28-34; I Corinthians 8:4.6 Golden Text--Thou shalt love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. Deuteronomy 6:5. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--The Ten Commandments were given 1498 B.C.; the passage from Isaiah was written about 690 B.C.; the conversation of our Lord with the scribe was on Tuesday, April 4, A.D. 30; the First Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians was written A.D. 59. Place.--The Ten Commandments were given at Mount Sinai; the conversation of Jesus with the scribe took place in Jerusalem; the city of Corinth was located in northern Greece. 2. I am Jehovah thy God. The most important and the most influential conception that a man can have is his conception of God. Our though: of God determines our outlook on the world. The word "Jehovah" means fundamentally, One. / Who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. No Other Gods 3. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. If God is what he claims to be, then he must be the supreme object of worship. Isa. 45:22. Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is none else. In the verse preceding the one assigned to our lesson from Isaiah, God is spoken of as "a just God and a Saviour," i.e., a God who always does right, whose word is true, whose promises are fulfilled, and a God who is able to save his people from their sins, from wrath, from eternal death, from their enemies. Because God is such a God he can extend the invitation that we find in our verse, "Look unto me and be ye saved." There is in this serve a testimony to God's uniqueness, to God's knowledge of the helplessness of man, to God's love for man in his helplessness. Mark 12:28-34. 28. And one of the scribes came, and heard them questioning together, and knowing that he had answered them well, asked him, What commandment is the first of all? This conversation took place on Tuesday of Passion Week, in the city of Jerusalem. The Piiarisccs, having heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, gathered around him. The Jews divided the Pentateuch into six hundred and thirteen precepts, three hundred and sixty-five prohibitions, as many as there were days in the year, and two hundred and twenty-eight commandments, as many as there were parts in the body. Among the greater commandments they reckoned Sabbath observance, circumcision, rules of sacrifice and nd i and phyla He; fri] •'.-red, The first i : Th r God, the Lord is one: 30. and thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength. 31. The second is this. Thou shalt iove thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. In reply to the scr::oe's question, the Lord quoted Deir;. 6:1, 5 and Lev. 19:18. Thoufh Jesus does not directly quo'.e from the Ten Commandments, he does quote a passage which summarizes the teaching of all the Commandments, and puts the emphas s first on the character and recognition of God, then upon our utter, absolute love for God, and finally, upon our love for one another, if (very living person were just obedient to these two commandments. to love the only true and living God with all one's being, and thei: 1 -uly to love one's neighbour, he vruld be living the fullest, richest, most satisfying life 32. And lie fci be, said unto him, Of a truth. Teacher, thou hast well said that he is one,; and there is none other but be: 33. and to love him with all the heart, and with all Life Near Pole "Is Really Fun" Geologist and Wife Found The Far North An Ideal Place To Live EDMONTON.--A life in the. Arctic with fish and canned food flown in to them by airplane, was described as "Great Fun" by Mr. and Mrs. A. Lincoln Washburn, of Hanover, N.H. Washburn, a geologist still in^his '20's, returned here after a *six weeks' study of glacier and geological formations in the far north. By airplane and schooner he and his wife visited a number of points, including Yellowknife, Cambridge Bay, Read Island, the Colville Mountains, Victoria Island and the Baillie Island. "It was great fun," Mrs. Washburn said. "Glad to get back?" No. I'd like to stay up there. The people are simply wonderful. And there wasn't any hardship. The food was good -- fish and canned food that was flown in by airplane. It's the way I like to live." At Read Island in the Arctic Ocean, they visited Mrs. Ray Ross, North America's farthest north white woman. Mrs. Ross is the wife of a Hudson's Bay Company trader. Glass Buttons Provide Safer Night Driving R. M. Smith, Ontario's deputy minister of highways, announced last week his department would extend the use of an experimental safety device which is being tried out on the middle road. The device consists of a number of small glass buttons, about the size of a half dollar, placed in sets of three on short posts about 100 feet apart and seven feet from the shoulder of the road. So far they have been tried on a mile and a half stretch of highway just west of Oakville, on the south lane of the middle road. The buttons catch the gleam of the headlights of a car at 100 foot intervals and reflect the light, the deputy-ministe'r explained. They appear to a fast-travelling car like a continuous streak of light that outlines the road clearly and shows up any pedestrian or cyclist. the understanding, and with all the jtrength, and-to-love his neighbour as himself, is much more than all whole burnt-offerings and sacrifices. 34. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question. The meaning here is that we should have the same solicitous regard and care for our neighbours which we have for ourselves. It is really another form of the Golden Rule. Jesus, perceiving that the scribe.answered intelligently, said, "You are not far from the kingdom of God." Paul Reaffirms It I Cor. 8:4. Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no God but one. 5. For though there be that are called gods,' whether in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many. There is no God, no real Divine Being, but one. As in so many other places in the New Testament, Paul is not content with a negative denial, but now brings forth a positive affirmation--the gods of the heathen are non-existent, but there is a God who is God the Father, from whom all things come, and in whom, through the Lord Jesus Christ, we are. 6. Yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him. See John 1:3; Heb. 1: 2, 3; Col. 1:16; Rom. 11:36. Note the contrast between the many gods of the heath* en and the one God of the Christians. The whole passage is a clear acknowledgment on the part of the apostle Paul that the Lord Jesus Christ was external in his existence. Our God is not a rival of any other gods. In him is life, and without him there is no life. POP--No Act for the Nursery FIFTEEN ROOMS IN THE r HOUSE-- SI fm Are You Listening?

Says Film Stars Live The Longest Dr. Lawrence Spangard, a Hollywood hospital doctor, believes that film stars live longer than most folk. "My study of film stars has led me to believe that practically everyone who, gets into the first ranks of players adds 10 years to his life," he says. "It is nothing unusual. Stars take better care of themselves than Ine average person because they must be physically attractive as weil as mentally alert. "They work hard, which is good for them. When they rest they get plenty of sunshine and fresh air." Oh, well, who wouldn't -- on $1,000 a minute, or whatever it is stars get.

Corn Should Be Cut Quite Low Provincial Entomologist Gives Advice On How To Control Borer Provincial Entomologist, Professor . Caesar, O.A.C., Guelph, urges low cutting of corn this fall as a help in the control of the borer and a means of avoiding the unpleasant task of hand-picking stubble in the spring. Professor Caesar writes as follows: "There is a large crop of corn almost all over the province this fall and as a result many persons will be tempted to cut it high. To do so would be a mistake because the borer is decidedly more abundant this year in most counties than usual and extra care will have to . be taken to hold it in control. The long stubble means that several times as many borers will be left in the fields after removing the stalks as there would be if the corn had been cut low. Moreover, it is very much more difficult to plow long stubble under completely and not drag it up again in the spring when working the field; hence farmers wishing to avoid the necessity of hand-picking their fields for next winter should cut their corn as low as practicable."
