THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., OCT. 6, 1938 Sunday School Lesson LESSON II SPIRITUAL WORSHIP Exodus 20:4-6; 32:1-8; John 4:19-24 Golden Text -- "God is a Spirit; and they that worship him must worship in spirit and truth." John 4:24. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time -- The Ten Commandments were given 1498 B.C. The conversation with the woman at the well took place in December, A.D. 27. Place -- The Ten Command- ts, of c giver Mount Sinai. The city of Sychar is the modern village of El-Askar, five eighths of a mile north of Jacob's 4. Thou shalt not make unto thee a graven image. The First Commandment forbids us to worship false gods, the Second forbids us to worship the true God under false forms. The Hebrews had come out of Egypt; and Egypt was a land that was crowded with the images of a twofold mythology -- of the old African deities and of the new foreign gods of the Shepherd Dynasty. The tribes had brought with them small, portable images of the Egyptian deities into the wilderness. Nor any likeness of anything that is in heaven above. This might refer to God who dwe'.t in heaven, or the angels, but also to the sun, moon, and stars, which were worshiped by heathen nations everywhere in the ancient world. Or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Bowing Down to Images 5. Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them , nor serve them. What the second commandment forbids is the making of images to be used in worship. It has always happened again and again, in every country, in every age, that ultimately the deity represented by the image is forgotten, and the image kself becames tho ohject of worship. For I Jehovah thy God am a jealous God, who will not tolerate that the reverence due to him should not be given to him -- whether to r God, i age worshipped Visiting the iniqu- _jty_of the fathers upon the children. and upon the third and upon the fourth generation of them that do hate me. The iniquity here spoken of is that of polytheism, or idolatry, of having or making any other God. The history of the world also shows that the ungodliness of the fathers, is, as a rule of fallen nature, followed by the sons. 6. And showing lovingkindness of them that love m; md keep my commandments. Whde God is absolutely just and absolutely holy, yet come of him. that they did happened to 1 to take the power, they quest of Aarc brought th. he receivec fashioned i made proclamation, and said, Tomorrow shall be a feast to Jehovah. 6. And they rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt-offerings and brought peace-offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to drink, and rose up to play. See 1, Cor. 10:7. The Israelites should have been praying. They should have been singing praises to God for their deliverance. Instead of that they turned this sacred occasion into a carnival. 7. And Jehovah spake unto Moses and said, Go, get thee down; for thy people, that thou broughtest up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. 8. they have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them; they have worshipped it, and have sacrificed unto it, and said, These are thy gods, O Israel, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. How terrible it would be if God allowed us to go on in our sinful willfulness, and did not upbraid or punish us, correct and chasten us! Where would any of us be if God never put a restraining hand upon 19. The woman saith unto him. Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet. 20. Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. It is clear from this verse that much of the conversation with this woman is not reported, for we do not have any record here of Jesus, speaking about Jerusalem, though he must have done so. 21. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountajfi, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. 22. Ye worship that which ye know not: we worship that which we know; for salvation is from the Jews. The hour to which the Lord refers is, of course, the hour, when, through Christ, God is fully known and truly worshiped. 23. But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth; for such doth the Father seek to be his worshippers. 24. "God is a Spirit, and they that worship him must worship in spirti and in tru: i. That the Father seeks men to be his worshippers is but one of the many evidences, from God's call to Adam in the Garden of Eden down to the last "Come" in the book of Revelation, that God longs ien should be with him, wor-sin < ing him, knowing him, loving hin and filled with his fullness. Tin worship which God asks for is spiritual woship, worship that is in spirt and in truth.

Rev. Dr. Peter Bryce as head of the church. Thanksgiving Lord, for the erring thought Not into evil wrought: Lord, for the wicked will [ Betrayed and baffled still: For the heart from itself kept, 1 Our thanksgiving accept. --William Dean Howells 1 Thanksgiving Celebrated By Indians First Festival Existed Centuries Before Puritans Began Annual Celebration. The American custom of celebrating Thanksgiving with feasting and family reunions did not begin with the coming of the white man to these shores. Centuries before the arrival of the Puritans the Indians celebrated the yearly harvest-time with turkey, pumpkins and ball games, according to Te Ata, a member of the Chickasaw tribe and wife of Dr. Clyde Fisher, writing in the magazine published by the American Museum of Natural History. Thanks for Fruits of Soil "Many people believe that Thanksgiving on this Continnent originated with the Plymouth colonists in 1621," she writes. "Admitting that these white settlers may have brought in with them a Thanksgiving spirit, it should not be forgotten that the distinctive features of the American Thanksgiving are native to the country rather than to the settlers, and that the Indians had been offering up heir thanks for hundreds of years. Late in the Summer season that follows close upon the trail of the harvest, the native American has, since ancient times, given thanks for fruits of the soil and of the chase to the Great Spirit and to the Earth-Mother. "Thanksgiving still exists among the native Indians today. Out to- The Oldest Horse In North America Dolly Was Driven Daily By Her Crippled Owner, Walter Carruthers, of Wingham Dolly, popularly supposed to be the oldest horse in North America, died last week. She was in her 42nd year and for the past 31 years had been driven nearly every day by her crippled owner, Walter Carruthers, of Turnberry Township, Huron County. His home is three miles from Wingham. "Every day, except some of the extreme winter ones, Walter Carruthers and Dolly have made the three-mile trip to Wingham. They became almost a landmark, and older residents returning to Wingham always made sure to look up "Walt and Dolly." Ate Rolled Oats and Hay With reins hanging limply from her master's hands it was a familiar sight in Wingham to see the horse come up to the "stop" sign at tli 3 intersection and halt, then continue on around the corner and stop whenever some friend of the owner's hailed him from the sidewalk. In all the 30 years the horse had never been on grass, her meals consisting of rolled oats and timothy hay. This was attributed as one of the reasons for her longevity. His Car Stolen? No, Just Washed Blenheim Owner Forgets He Told Garage To Take Machine Don't tell R. S. Carvolth, of Blenheim, about your embarrassing moments, he knows all about it. Mr. Carvolth reported to police that his car had been stolen from ward the place where the sun goes down, the Indians of the Southwest still dance their thanks for the bountiful harvests." Are You Listening? Btj FREDDIrTHEE SLANTS Comedian Lew Lehr returned from Europe on the Queen Mary with Mrs. Lehr and daughter. Lew has several comedy ideas up his sleeve for his new series with Ben Bernie. Andre Kostelanetz is holding open house in his office on the 16th floor of the CBS building for all his friends who wander in for the lowdown on his recent South American jaunt. Kenny Baker, the male vocalist for "Star Trea-tre" which makes its debut over CBS on October 5, had only six hours in New York after he arrived from England recently, because of Hollywood commitments. While in England Kenny played the role of "Nanky Poo" in an English picture version of Gilbert and Sullivan's "Mikado". VOICE-CHILD Betty Lou, co-starred with Tommy Riggs in their new variety show over an NBC-Red Network which began October 1, is the first "voice" to reach full star status. True, Charlie McCarthy is a voice, but he exists for the eye in the physical shape of a ventriloquist's dummy. Betty Lou is nothing more than the figment of Tommy Riggs' vocal chords and the picture of a little girl that his voice creates. Betty Lou was created one day in 1932 when Riggs' vaudeville and radio partner was stricken and had to be rushed to the hospital. Having to carry on alona, Tommy created Betty Lou. She was so popular that Rudy Vallee asked him to appear on his program. The one appearance ran into 39 weeks--a new record--and resulted in the new star roles in the variety show which Riggs and his voice-child will head this fall. NEW WORD GAME Mary Margaret McBride, CBS columnist of the air, has a new version of the "Word Game." She calls it "pet peeves," and applies it to "sissy" words which annoy her. For example, she dislikes "dainty", and won't use "cinema" or "motor" when she means the movies or an automobile.
