THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., NOV. 17, 1938 Sunday School Lesson LESSON VII THE SACREDNESS OF HUMAN LIFE Exodus 20: 13; Matthew 5: 21-26, 38-42 Golden Text Thou shalt not kill. Exodus 20: 13. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer. I John 3: 15. THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. -- The Ten Commandments were given 1498 B.C.; the Sermon on *he Mount was preached by our Lord in the early summer of A.D. 28. Place. -- The Ten Commandments were given on Mount Sinai. We do not know the particular mountain from which Jesus preached this famous sermon. 13. Thou shalt not kill. The English Revised Version makes the verse to read more accurately, "Thou shalt do no murder." Matt. 5: 21-26. 21. We have heard that it was said to them of old time, Thou shall not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: 22. but I say unto you, that every one who is angry with his brother shall be in danger of the judgment; and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council; and whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of the hell of fire. "Raca" expresses contempt for a man's head, "You stupid!" "Fool" expresses contempt for his heart and character, "You Scoundrel!" The regular use of such opprobrious epithets Jesus regards as the supreme offense against the law of humanity. 23. If therefore thou art offering thy gift at the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath aught against thee, 24. leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way, first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. A man cannot have hatred toward a fellow man, live in sin with some other person, and ever think that he can be right with God while these things continue. 25. Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art with him in the way; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. 26. Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou have paid the last farthing. Cf. Luke 12: 58. According to the Roman law the plaintiff could carry the accused _wjiluhicn b<=r«rc me juagtrrthe ae-fendant might settle the matter on any terms while they were on the way, but after the tribunal was reached the thing must ?-o according to law. The teaching of the whole passage concerns the nature of our animosity toward ot! er men. Murder is only the fnil fruit of a hateful, revengeful spirit. What our Lord is getting at is not the prevention of a Harder but the utter cleansing of tie heart of all those passions wh::: : so easily arise in the injus-ic : and animosities of life, as we r-ngle among other people, that ri ii;e our hearts to be aflame with revenge, with a desire to do evil to others. Matt. 5: 38-42. 18. Ye have heard that it was sa :., An eye for an eye, and a toot- for a tooth. The Old Testtmen "eaching to which our Lord he e refers is found in Ex. 21: 24; Lev. 24: 20; Deut. 19: 21. 39. But I say unto you. Resist no him that is evil; but whosoevei smiteth thee on thy right cheek turn to him the other also. This Is not a fight, but simply the e:q> -ession of one person's desire to shame, or insult, or anger ona against whom he has a grudge. The person so struck, according ta o.tr Lord's teaching, is not t:. ke back, for that would mean tat he has become angry, and in ioing so sins. Our Lord is not condemning or forbidding the rigl t of self-defense, either per-ci a or national. 40. And if any ir.an would go to law with tree, r :1 take away thy coat, let him lave thy cloak also.

Manned by a picked band of daredevils it precedes trains looking for land mines, weakened bridges and barricaded tracks. The work is extremely dangerous as mining of railroads is a favorite trick of the Arab terrorists. Swing Brings Thick Ankles Exhausted Nerves Are Also The Penalty of Dancing to Modern Music, Osteopath Says Dancing to swing music causes sluggish minds and thick ankles, warned E. A. Ward, immediate past president of the American Osteopathic Association, in an interview. "The hysteria for swing music and, the hopping, grimacing dances that go with it," he warned, "will pay its adherents with thick ankles, broken maladjusted feet, and an exhausted nervous system, unless they recognize its dangers. . . . And Sluggish Minds "The Big Apple uses many different muscles, putting them to a stress and strain for which, in most cases, they are not prepared. These dances are violen- exercise, and require as much training and as good physical condition as tennis, basketball, swimming and similar If a. person wished to dance the Big Apple, Mr. Ward advised, the heart should be tested, muscles shoulc be gradually conditioned, :xnc lai- care given to the body.

Horse Of Future More Like Mule Head of Ridgetown Experimental Farm Predicts It Will Be More Self-Reliant, Looking After Itself The livestock raising picture is changing materially, and the horse of the future will be bred for qualities of stamina and endurance now common to the mule. Won't Need Grooming This prediction was made last week to a meeting of the Windsor Lions Club by Prof. J. C. Steckley, head of the Ridgetown experimental farm. Prof. Steckley pointed out that more and more livestock, especially in Canada, is being raised for purely commercial purposes. "The horse of the future will be the horse that can take care of itself--the horse that can get along without the grooming and attention needed now," he expert said. Livestock, especially the horse, long has had an intimate connection with man in peace as well as war, he said. borrow of thee turn not thou away. But to give everything to everyone, the sword to the madman, the alms to the im-poster, would be to act as the enemy of others and ourselves. Ours should be a higher and deeper charity, flowing from those inner springs of love. Beavers Flood Scholars Out Pupils in Manitoulin Island District Had To Row To School Because of Beaver Dam Game wardens in the Manitoulin Island district have been compelled to resort to dynamite to destroy dams made by a colony of beavers in the west end of the island. In one case beavers flooded a road at Spring Bank to such a depth that children were obliged to use a row-boat to get to school. Game Warden Harold Bailey of Gore Bay complained that even explosives failed to daunt the beavers. Dynamite Doesn't Daunt Them "I've been using dynamite to blow out the worst dams, but it's no use. The beavers build them up again as soon as I'm out ot sight," he said. What Doss Today's pc-m?t Man Want? In A Future Marriage Partner Specifically, what are some of the qualities the up-to-twenty-five young men are looking for in future marriage partners? Here's the answer, in Mrs. Gertrrde Chambers' Opinion: w««They want a healthy wife. (They know continual doctor bills wreck any budget. "They want a wife who has enough personality to impress friends. "They want her to be attractive looking. Smartness gets as much attention with today's young men as prettiness. "They want a wife who will share their enthusiasms. • "They want a wife who can understand what they are talking about when they discuss business. (If her ideas are good, they'll even say ' Thanks" when they borrow "Healthy Attitude" •"They want a wife who knows how or is capable of learning to stretch a dollar. l:"They want to marry a woman who will make a go of the social .fide of marriage. "Many of them from necessity jlrant a wife who can bring home a ■p?.y chock, for a while at least." Mrs. Chambers thinks a girl should not resent such demands. For meeting them will keep the girl on her toes. "In fact," she says, "this new attitude is a healthy one all the way around. It is better for the man, better for the girl, and a good foundation for marriage." High Heels, Pie, Mean Shorter Life High heels and pie mean shorter life, says Dr. Sara Jan-son, of Chicago. She believes it is possible to live 100 or 120 years, but "no one has a right to expect it if she will wear high heels, eat pie, stay up later than 10 p.m. and drink less than ten glasses of water each day. We have no right to ask for years if we are unwilling to take care of the body." Are You Listening? By FREDDIE TEE PLAYING SAFE Although Richard Crooks knows by heart most of the numbers he sings on NBC's Voice of Firestone concerts he invariably carries all his music to the NBC studios. He keeps such songs before him on a music rack, switching the piece just finished to the bottom of the pile. "The more variety there is in your life, the more you have to draw upon in presenting a wide range of types on the air."--Helene Dumas of NBC's Jane Arden program. Conduct Rally Bob Hawk, left, and John B. Kennedy, widely known news commentator and writer, conduct the new "People's Rally," 3:30 to 4 p. m., EST, Sundays, over WLW and the Mutual Broadcasting System. Listeners are asked to express opinions on current problems as well as the studio audience. ' WANT TO JOIN KIKLET Since Robert Ripley announced on his NBC program that he would leave soon on a tour of the world to continue his search for more "Believe-It-Or-Not" facts he has received nearly 5,000 letters from men in all walks of life asking to he taken along. Dentists, lawyers, physicians and men in other professions have offered to wash clothes, scrub decks or act as chef or secretary in return for the privilege of accompanying Mr. Ripley on his forthcoming venture. Oddest request came from a Trenton, New Jersey, aan who asked to be taken along in order that he might win the hand.of his girl friend. THANKS, MR. WELLS Radio listeners are indebted to Mr. H. G. Wells for the "thriller", as produced by Columbia Broadcasting System on Sunday night, recently. It's a good thing those comets and planets were falling on Princeton, New Jersey, instead of Callendar, Ontario--then we would really have had something to worry about in Canada. THIS THING CALLED "SPREAD-BAND"? The 1939 DeForest Crosley "Music Master" DeLuxe Radios have the new "Spread-Band" dials which simplify short-wave and particularly foreign-station tuning as the different "channels" have been spread out so that at least 10 times as much space on the dial, is devoted to each band (or channel). It makes foreign reception now a reality--sure and certain. Tuberculosis Eradication Should the present rate of decrease be maintained, Britain should be entirely rid of tuberculosis by 1960, Sir Edward Mellanby, secretary of the British Medical Research Council, told the Canadian Club at Montreal last week. In the last 80 years, he said, the tuberculosis death rate in Britain had dropped from 3,500 per 1,006,-000 of population to 700. Scarlet fever had dropped from 700 to a mere 57 per 1,000,000 in the last 50 years, and in the same period typhoid had declined from 320 to four and infant mortality from 150 per 1,000 to 57 per 1,000.

They used bow's which were made of hickory, lemon-wood and Texas osageo orange-wood. The twenty-eight-inch arrows they used were made from B.C. fir. LIFE'S LIKE THAT By Fred Neher A«g.
