TT ry | TE ii A Sunday School fr Lesson LESSON X GOD REQUIRES SOCIAL JUSTICE Leviticus 19: 1-18, 32-37. Printed Text: Leviticus 19: 9-18, 32-37. Golden Text--As ye-would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise--Luke 6: 31. . THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time--B.C. 1497. Place -- "Undoubtedly these words were uttered by the Lord to Moses from the gabernacle of the congrega- tion located not far away from Mount Sinai, where the Israelites were en- camped (see Lev. 1: 1). "And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy har vest." "And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the fallen fruit of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and for the sojourner: [I am Jehovah your 0d." There is no book in all the world which so tenderly, and justly, and helpfully considers the condition * > of the poor as do both the Old and New Testaments (see also Deut, 15: 4-11; 24: 12-15; Ps. 41: 1; 72: 13; 82. 3, 4: Prov. 28: 3, 8, 11, 15; Isa: 11: 4; Matt. 11: 5; Luke 14: 13; 18: 22). "Ye shall not steal." (See 0x. 20: 15; 21: 16; 22: 1; Deut, 5. 19; 24: 7; Prov. 30: 9; Rom. 2: 21; 13: 9; 'Eph. 4: 28.) "Neither shall ye deal faiseiy, nor liz one to another." (See Ex. 20: 16; Lev. 6:2; Eph. 4: 25; Col. 3: 9.) Steal- ing is often followed by lying, because a person who will steal will. attempt to cover up the theft by untruthful words. B ) "Aud ye shall not swear by my name falsely, and profane the name of thy God: I am Jehovah." This admonition corresponds with the Third Comamnd- mont. "Tiou slalt not oppress thy neigh- bor. ror 1ob him." There are so many ways of oprressing one's neighbor-- Lz making it inconvenient for him to have packages delivered to his door > *>+e wages of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until the morning." While the letter of this command cannot be carried out in most cases today, i.e., the payment of laborers each night, yet the spirit of it can be carried out by paying lab- orers at the time when an employer enters into an agreement with his em- ployees to pay them. "Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumblingblock before the blind; but thou shalt fear thy God: I am Je- hovah." "Ye shall do no unrighteousness In judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the per- son of the mighty; but in righteous- ness shalt thou judge thy neighbor." In this verse God turns our attention away from personal wrongs to official wrongs, giving a commandment in- tended to guard men against injustice as they stand in courts of law. "Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people." "The original word from which 'tnle-bear- er' is translated, literally signifies a traitor, a peddler, and is here applied to one who travels up and down deal- ing in slanders and detractions, as a merchant does in wares, possessing himself of the secrets of individuals and of families, and then blazing them abroad, usually with a distortion of motives and facts." ¢ Neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: | am Je- hovah." This command is simply to further protect the life of our neighbors by forbidding the children of Israel to stand aside while the life of any neighbor was in danger, i.e., in drown. ing, in- attack by robbers or wild beasts, Probably als» it means that, it we have knowledge of another's crime in the shedling of the blood of some person, we are not to keep silence when possessing such knowl- edge. Thou Shalt Not Hate 'Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart." Of course it is in the heart where hatred lives. Hatred can it we rebuke others im the light of God's word, in the power of the Holy Spirit, and in love, "And not bear sin because of him." "If I do not warn my brother when the opportunity eof- fers, I am to be blamed for want of truth and love." "Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any. grudge against the children of thy people; but thou shalt love thy neighbor &s thyself; I am Jehovah." This is the first time in the Bible that the command to love one another ap- pears, "We are told tb love incom- patible members of the families and kindreds with which we are associat- ed, and perhaps they are occasions of irritation to us, thorns stabbing our most. densely massed and delicate nerve-processes. "Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honor the face of the old man, and thou shalt fear thy Cod: I am Jehovah." ¢When you meet them in public places, or they come to where you are, show them reverence. Infirmity, wisdom, nay, age in itself, have each a claim on us. "And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong." "The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the home- born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were sojourn- ers in the land of Egypt: I am Je- hovah your God." The law command- ing the Israelites to be kind to strang- ers is frequently repeated in the Pen- tateuch, "Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measures of length, of weight, or of quality." "Just bal- ances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have." "It is of no account to keop the Sabbath --in a way--and reverence outwardly -- the sanctuary, and then on the week day water milk, adulterate medicines and foods, slip the yardstick in measuring, tip the balance in weighing, and buy with one weight or measure and sell with another, and 'water' stocks, as the manner of many is. God hates, and even honest atheists despise re- liglon of this kind. "A religion which is only used on Sundays has no holi- ness in it." "I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt." "And ye shall observe all my statutes, and all mine ordinances, and do them: I am Jehovah." There are threo fun- damental reasons here given to per- suade, and encourage, and even com- pel man to obey these and other laws {l_ By VIRGINIA DALE 3g It is children's day in Hollywood, with contracts being signed in carload lots to exploit youngsters in films.

Dr. Clancy also dropped a word of warning to the women about '"guaran- teed" freckle. removers, "It they remove freckles they must remove the outer layer of th skin, and many contain caustics," he cau- tioned. "Better to have freckles than scars." . He explained that investigations of such advertised "surface salves" was only a small part of his hoard's work. "Hair tonics proclaimed to remedy? barren pates are merely harmless hoaxes," he added.

Unkind To War Book English Reviewers Resent Writing of "Men I Killed" by Brig.-Gen. Crozier i x LONDON, -- Brig.-Gen. Crozier's book, "The Men I Killed," continues to create a vast stir among book re- viewers and correspondence columns of the British Press, says Grant Dex- ter, in a special to the Globe and Mail. There is no evidence to Indicate that the book is naving a_ lasting ef- fect on public opinion. Recruting with summer manoeuvres is in progrebs all over the countryside, breaking re- cords; British youth seems uncon: cerned over.any cruelties or barbari- ties practiced upon lads in the ranks during the World War. Most reviewers keenly regret Cro- zler"s book and correspondents seem fairly divided between those with even more terrible tales to tell of the callousness of the superior officers and those who regard Crozier's reve- lations as a grotesquely unreliable index of the average treatment to the British Tommies. No One Questions" Its Truth Nevertheless, nobody yet has chal- lenged the accuracy of any incident reported by Crozier, and nowhere has his veracity been impeached. ~The usual line of reviewers say the book would have been better not to have been written, and Crozier is held guilty of a breach of manners, This kind of thing, it is pointed out might be discussed in the privacy of the club, but publication is simply not 'done. : Crozier's qualifications as an -auth- | or stand' up under inquiry. He served throughout the war with. distinction. This and previous books, however, show a rate of frankness which most Britishers-- find distinctly unpleasant, and judging by reports, have not ma- terlally enlarged his circle of friends. 'Barber Plucks Live Rooster But Gets Into Jam With Police NEW YORK, -- Berger, 70, sat on a subway train. plucking a live -four- pound rooster given him by a friend. "She loves me," he murmured dreamily pulling out a handful of fea- thers, ¢'she loves me not." The rooster squawked in protest. . Women subway riders looked daggers at Berger. He plucked on, Finally, when the rooster began to gleam bald on the afterdeck, Kay Nelson, a passenger, stopped 'Berger. "You're torturing that bird." "I'm not torturing him," denied Ber- ger. "I'm a retired barber .and hair- dresser. I could do this to a canary without hurting. I could pluck 'your eyebrows and you would go to sleep while I was doing it." The 'rooster squawked in disbelief, as he lost another feather. When the dubway guards separated them, 'Ber- ger and Nelson were tugging over the rooster. 'That impartial fellow was pecking at both, At the police station Berger and Nelson explained, "The semi-nude bird hung its head, "I Just wanted to get.the rooster al ready before I got home," sald Berger; "it takes time to cook a mature bird like that" ; The police liettenant asked the ad- vice of a patrolman, a chicken fancler.
