THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., AUGUST 5th, 1937. SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON „__.S0N VI. GOD FEEDS A PEOPLE (Exodus 16: 1--17: 7.) Printed Text: Exodus 16: 11-20; 17: 3-6. "SOLDEN TEXT--Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father. James 1: 17. The Lesson In Its Setting Place--The wildernes of Sin was located on the eastern side of the Red Sea on the way to Mount Sinai. Rephidim was probably located on the long Wady Ferian in the peninsula of Sinai. Time--B.C. 1498. "And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God."--It is quite significant that whenever God works a miracle among his own people or before the nations of the earth, he does it that they might know him. Tins is a phrase which occurs especially throughout the book of Ezekiel. It is quite similar to the one used of our Lord in the performing of some of the miracles .nention-ed in the New Testament--he there "manifested forth his glory." "And it came to pass at even, that the quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay round about the camp." -- this is the only place in the entire book of Exodus where the word "quails" appears. (See also Num. 11: 31, 32; Psa., 105: 40.) "Quails belong to the partridge family. They are migratory birds and in March and April come up from Arabia and other southern countries, and cross the Mediterranean Sea in vast numbers; and return southwards from Europe in even more enormous flights towards the end of September. They ' always fly with the wind. When they alight, which they generally do at night, they cover the ground; and being usually exhausted can be captured by hand in great numbers." "And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, small as the hoar-frost on the ground. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is it? for they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them, It is the bread which Jehovah hath given you to eat. "This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded. Gather ye of it every man, according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, shall ye take it, every man for them that are in his tent. And the children of Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less."--One omer was equivalent to about three quarts and one-fifth of a pint. Ten omers made one "And when they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating." -- In 2 Cor. 8: 15, St. Paul adopts words from this verse in begging the Corinthians to be liberal in their alms-giving for the poor Christians in Jerusalem. He tells his readers that he has no wish that they should have distress, in order that others should have relief. He desires an equal balance that they should, at the present time, supply, out of their abundance, the needs of their poorer children. All these instructions were to keep the Jewish people from hoarding and to prevent any man from having such an abundant over-supply that he could sell what God had freely given him to his neighbors. Furthermore, it was a perfect provision-against gluttony. "And Moses said unto them, Lit no man leave of it till the morning. Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was wroth with them."--Of course among two million people it would hardly be expected that all would be obedient to even God's commands, and yet one would think when the Israelites realized how miraculously God was providing for their needs and how gracious he was to them in delivering them from the bondage of Egypt, they would have gladly yielded their obedience to him in everything which he asked. Yet, how many of us, who are the recipients of the wealth of the grace of God, have not known times when we deliberately went straight against the will of God^and grieved him by our stubborn disobedience? "And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt --to kill us and our children, and our cattle with thirst? And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, What shall I flo unto this people? they are almost ready to ston^ me?"--One of the great penalties of leadership is loneliness. When a man, by his ability, or brilliance, or great achievements, or positions, is lifted high above ordinary men, and even men above the ordinary, he is in a class by himself, business, there are few and probably none wth whom he can fellowship. When people began to criticize Moses, there was nb man to whom he could turn for consolation-- he was driven to God alone. That is the one blessing that can come to us from the strife of tongues, from misunderstanding on the part of other people whom we have tried to bless, from those who should have helped instead of criticizing--we are driven to the bosom of our Father in Heaven. "And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, and go. Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel."--God, in his graciousness, instead of rebuking the people, instructed Moses how he was to satisfy their thirst at once, by taking the rod /f which God had spoken to him before, and which he had so powerfully used during the plagues with which God smote Egpyt. (Ex. 4: 2, 4, 17, 20; 7:9--20; 8: 5, 16, 17; 9. 23; 10. 13; 14: 16) The exact location of the rock at Horeb, where this miracle took place, it is not possible now to identify. The names which Moses gave to this place, Massah and Meribah, mean, respectively, "proving," and "strife." Massah is mentioned again in Deut. G: 16; 9: 22; 33: 8; Ps. 81: 7. How strange that water should come out of a rock! A rock would seem the last place to choose for the storage of water. But God's cupboards are in very unlikely places. Ravens bring food. The prime minister of Egypt gives corn. Cyrus lets go the people of Israel from Babylon. The Jordan heals the leper. Meal makes poisoned pottage wholesome. Wood makes iron swim. A Samaritan binds up the wounds and save the life of the pillaged traveller. Joseph of Arimathae buries the sacred body in his own new tomb. It_is worth while to go to Rephidim to get an insight into the fertility and inventiveness of God's providence. There can be no lack to them that fear Him, and no fear of lack to those who have become acquainted with his secret storehouses. Better Understanding Between Individuals Matter of Education NEW YORK.--Before anything can be done about the understanding between nations, said Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt recently, "we must do something about the understanding between individuals." "And that, I believe, is entirely a matter of education," she added. Mrs. Roosevelt, in an address said the men and women of one nation must learn more about the people of other nations before they tan understand them. Sees Her Escort Shot Patricia Eatone before wh rifled eyes George "Los" Brune-man, reputedly a big-ume gambler, was shot and critically wounded at they were walking together at Redondo Beach, Cal. She escaped unhurt. A--3 Well folks as we mentioned a few weeks ago, the news about Amos and Andy has finally broke, the new sponsors to be the Campbell Soup Co. This contract will round out more than 11 years of continuous five-times-a-week broadcasting of the same comedy-dramatic serial. It establishes them in a radio class by themselves, and at a time when the famous black-face team is playing to an audience estimated at 40,000,0!>0 weekly. The new contract will become effective on January 3rd, 1938, immediately following the expiration of their present contract, and will bring the famous pair a substantial increase in The story of Amos and Andy is s romantic one, and the entire credit for the unrivaled popularity of their program goes to Freeman F. Gosden and Charles J. Correll themselves. Theirs was the idea of the show, theirs the creation of the characters and theirs unaided the important task of writing the script--finishing frequently just in time to go on the air with it. We offer them the best luck with their new sponsor and we know that the readers of our little paper will be listening to them as they have been doing for the last several years. Fred Allen signs 2-year Contract Fred Allen has been signed to a two-year contract for the starring role of host of Town Hall Tonight, starting in the fall. The Shows will continue as full-hour features on Wednesday evenings over the Nationwide NBC-Red Network. The fast-witted comedian, who con eluded his season on June 30 left New York last week for a vacation in Maine with wife and microphone partner, Portland Hoffa. Later in tne summer they will head West to Hollywood, where Fred is scheduled to make a motion picture for ( Darryl Zanuck on the Twentieth-Century Fox lot. In the meantime thk versatile humorist and master-of-cjeremon-ies, Walter O'Keefe, will carry on at the Bedlamville Town Hall during the hot weather spell. Allen, whose real name is fohn F. Sullivan, launched his professional career as a juggler, performing tricks as he learned from a book foupd in a Boston Public Library. J.Ifl ^jnade juggling funny, billed himself is "The World's Worst Juggler." Gogo DeLys, who travelled from New York to Hollywood last 'Wednesday to make a guest appear, nee on Ken Murray's program plans to continue her journey further. On August 20, Gogo will meet her sister, \ 'ho will arrive from her home in SI anghai, then they will proceed to Va icouver for the first DeLys family rei nion in five years. Harry McNaughton, Phil Baker's wackey lackey, "Bottle," has ropped his stooging role and mic ophone monicker for the first time vhen he appeared as a comedian in lis own right on Harry VonZell's "I ummer Stars" program last Sunday. McNaughton, who had estiblished himself as a comedy favorite on the English stage, migrated to America in the twenties. In 1933 he mot Phil Baker on a motion picture lot. When the accordian-playing jester came to radio he obtained McNaughton for the all-important 'Bottle." As a result the Englishman has become one of the air's best known characters. But until Von Zell invited him to appear on the latter's show, he never received an opportunity to display,his talents as a headline comic. America Cup Races on CBS A trio cf internationally famed yachting authorities will assist Ted Husing in the intricate task of covering the America's Cup races off Newport R.I. starting July 31. WABC-Columbia network listeners will hear Sherman Hoyt and Edward P. Foster, American experts, und John Scott Hughes, Great Britain's outstanding boating authority in addition to Hus ing's vivid descriptions of the more exciting phases of the races. ..While Columbia's Department of Sports has not yet completed all plans, pendiig more explicit information from the America's Cup Committee, it will place this able quartet at strategic points on the 30 mile course. Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians are again to be the guest Orchestra at the Exhibition this year, they will do their network programs direct from the big dance hall and as usual with their assisting artists they are sure to create a sensation with their playing and showmanship. It is rumored about that the O'Keefe sing song that takes place at Sunnyside Beach cash Sunday evening may be continued during tha Fall and Winter months in one of Toronto's large Hotels, we hope this is so because it not only is an exceedingly good program but it also gives to the people attending a feeling of good fellowship and when any one puts their head back and sings at the top of their voice they are happy and gay and this old world sure could do with a lot more lightheadedness. Horace Lapp and his boys who are playing at Banff are sure making a big hit out there, rumours have it that they almost own the place already, are invited everywhere and the guests state that their music is second to none on the continent. Pit-ite Madeline Peddler who is the vocalist with the band has been voted one of the most popular girls out there and that is something. They will be returning to the Royal York this fall to do their stuff for the Big Hotel this fall and winter. CFRB are already fixing up the Crystal Palace at the "Ex." in preparation for the big times that take place there in a few weeks, their mechanics and engineers are hurrying up their job and it is said that is will be one of the beauty spots and sights worth seeing when the big show gets under Several low powered commercial stations have asked Ottawa to let them increase their output for the coming season, this is under consideration by the CBS at the present time and we may have better reception of some of the nearby stations as a result of this action. Sinking Huge Caisson for Hudson Tunnel Before Apple Picking If there be rain, let It come softly. Wind Be quiet now. If rain must come at all, Let it drip gently from the skies of fall. Be still, O storms, lest this rich fruit be thinned By the unruly hands of any gale That charges from a sultfy, green-black sky Upon orchards sprawled across the high Plume-crested hills of this, my country.

The fun of taking care of the begging deer more than offset the rainy afternoon. Keeping Traditions Using the flag-draped hull of a barge anchored in the River Medway for a courthouse, Aid Winch, Mayor of Rochester, England, holds court. For centuries the Mayors of Rochester have been Admirals of the Medwajr and in that capacity have settled litigation for twenty miles of the river's reaches.
