Now the friend turned out to be the bank manager, and president of the local hocgey club, which, alas, was short of funds, so 'along about" the biscuits and cheese he put the "bite" on the transient for a sub- scription, There is jolly little fun in digging down in ones jeans. |. to help along a club of which ong has never heard, nor is it pleas- ant to be the one to'beg money to keep a club on its feet, The morning 'after we heard the above story, the postman left us our copy of "Horse and Hound," 'and in it was a letter telling of the large amount of scrap metal still lying around British farms, and. how when drives had been organized to sal- vage that which was lying in back fields, gulleys, streams, etc. huge hauls had resulted. . . . Surely therein lies a thought for Canadian hockey teams in small' communities, who find themselves short of the "neces- sary." If they were to organize a scrap drive and sell the metal, they would be rendering their country a service, and would make begging unnecessary. But let us offer a few words of ad- vice, Snow will soon blanket the ground, so organize -at once, but don't expend all energy in organ- jzing, for those who are mainly interested should make it their business to call upon the farmers and ask their permission to walk over their land, preferably in company with the land owners. Later, the organizers should be prepared to help the actual sal- vage operations. 3 »* . .

Exodus 20:17. Memory Verse: God ... careth for you. 1 Peter 5:7, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time.--The Ten Commandments were delivered in 1445 B.C.; our Lord's teachings concerning cov- etousness in this (lesson were uttered in December, A.D. 29, Place.--The Ten Command- ments were given on Mount Sinai; the passage taken from Luke is delivered in River. Sin of Covetousness "And one out of the multitude $id unto him, Teacher, bid my brother ~ divide the inheritance viith--me.'"" The man was not a disciple but someone who wished to use God to- further his own There are many who _have no_place in their lives for Christ, but are ready to en- list the support of His teaching when it is to their advantage to do so. "And he said unto him, Man, * who made me a judge or a divider over you?' OQur Lord came not to act as an arbitrator, to inter- fere with the civil courts, He came to save men from their sins, to' root out this spirit of covet- ousness. When a sinner js par- doned his motive then is to share what he has and not to covet more, hs Hy "And he said unto them, Take heed, and keep yourselves from all covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possess- eth." Men are to be aware not only of avarice, a greedy desire to possess what belongs to an- - other; they are warned against solfish possession, @Men lust for gold, p jong, and b 80 enslaved to them that they be- come their very life, the things most dear to them. This explains why. covetousness is idolatry. The Foolish Rich Man "fhd he spake. a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich"man brought forth plentifully. . And he reasoned with himself, saying, What shall I do, because 1 have not where to bestow my fruits? And he said, "This will I do: I will pull down "my barns, and build greater; and thefe will I-bestow all my grain "and all my goods." There is an | unpardonable selfishness in this man's plans. With more posses- sions than he knows what to do with he does not say that he 'is going to help the. poor or share what he has, There is no ex- pression of thanks to God for an abundant harvest, A Foolish Scheme "And 1 will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid Eaton, ! up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, be merry." Toil in getting and anxiety in keeping possession, for one's own self- ish indulgence is but a poor result of slaving for years. End of Rich Man's Plans "But God said unto him, Thou foolish one, this night is thy soul required of thee; and the things which thou hast prepared, whose shall they be?" A man who lives as though he is only body is in- deed a fool. Man is soul as well . as body. 'Man heapeth up riches and knoweth not who shall gather them," Any night our soul may * be required of us. He who trusts and follows Christ and has his treasure lald up in Heaven, will not be dismayed, however sud- den the call, 4 "So is he that layeth up trea. sure for himself, and is not rich toward God." All men who are living only for themselves, for this world's: treasure, are as this foolish farmer. How mych better to get joy out of wealth while we live by using it wisely to help others and to spread the Gospel Victor; Over Covetousness "And he said unto his disciples, Therefore, I say unto you, Be not anxious for your life, what ye shall eat; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. For the life is more than the food, and the body than the raiment)". Our osrthly concerns are His care and He will not fail to supply the essential needs of those who trust and obey. God's Care for Us "Consider the raveas, that they sow, not, neither reap; which have no store-chamber nor barn; and God feedeth them: of how much more value - are ye than the * birds!" If God cares for the rav- ens in that he has divinely ar- ranged for their need to be met, * 3 will not do less, bat more, for man--the crown of creation, Folly of Anxiety "And which of you by being anxious can add a cubit unto the measure of his life? This re- veals the helplessness and the limitation of man. The cubit was originally the: length of the elbow. to the end of the middle finger, It is generally calculated to be a foot and a half, U.

LJ * When Dan Golenpaul first got the idea for 'Information Please" old timers In radio Insisted that If the questions were to be tough enough to stump the experts, the whole program would be away over the heads of the average audience.
