CAREFUL DRIVING: A new law which is expected to! be far reaching as a means of preventing automobile accidents has been signed by the Governor and will be aifluinistered by the new Department of Safety headed by Al Feeney, is the opinion of officials vi the Hoosier State Auto-? mobile Association. They say "This measure known as Senate B:’.! 81 and introduced by Senators Kehoe. Egan and Sherwood, and prepared and sponsored by us should* prove to be one of the most beneficial laws ever tweked by the motor club orgaiiibatiun "It centers the information in the Department of Safety as to] • here and what caused and who ! was involved iu automobile accidents auy where in the State of • Indiana. It charges the Depart- ‘ mem with the responsibility of taking the initiative and calls fori the cooperation of any and all other officials who should help, to re- ■ wove any unusual hazard that is causing accidents, and this applies to town. city, county or state officials or to pi hate citizens. "Another valuable protection to the r.ioiorn.g publi, .- evpex ted ftotu this new law by lite A. A.

When Jesus had progressed in his ministry to the extent that multitudes were coming to hear him. the scribes and Pharisees found that their power over the people was growing less. The scribes were the interpreters of the laws and the Pharisees were of the class who closely observed the multitude of observances which had grown up in temple and every day life during the tong years.

Ons of the laws of wnich scribe and Pharisee laid great stress was that which governed tne matte- of washing. Impurities must be removed, not by ordinary washings, but by ceremonial bathings. If Jews mingled with others in the marketplace, they were defiled and must bathe all over before they ate. Earthen vessels ceremonially defiled must be not only discarded but broken as well.

Sunday School ? QUESTIONS ? The Meaning of True Religion QUESTIONS 1. Who were the scribes.’ X Who were the Pharisees? 3. What attitude did Jesus ? take in preaching the word of 'God? 4. What were some of the laws .concerning the Sabbath which had • btvti invoked ? 5. What were the rules of i bathing ? 6. Why did Jesus speak asanss j this sort of formality ? 7. How did these multitudi ■ nous laws and observances grow? . up? y. Where was Jesus preaching j ; during the latter kssous of like' J quarter? 9. Why had he gone to this part of the coun ry? Ki. What met hod of preaching ? did he introduce at this lime aud ANSWERS 1. It was the office of the priests aad Levites. in the days of . Ezra and Nehemiah. not only to study and explain the bock of law. but to copy it and distribute it as well. Gradually, these duties passed on to those who devoted their time to the study of the . law. S. Naturally th« scribes belous ed to the sect of Pharisees. The scribes cared little for the spirit of the law they interpreted. The set of Pharisees originated after the Jews returned from their Babykmian captivity. At first, they observed the righteusness of the law ; but gradually they be came quibblers and tradiiio&icu. X. Jesus held that tuan was not controlled by external signs and objects but by Pas imptdses tod his heart. It was his soul, and nat his surroundings, that made him good or bad. 4 Among the laws whk-b ror<i ?r,«-d the Sabba h were these: ma t might nc-t reap or sow. or thresh, on that day; if a house caught fire, it could not be extinguished. a »kk man could not be attended by a doctor: the distance a man might walk was specified: -nd many other equally foolish i ?strictions were imposed X Bathing was one of the re ligkHU observance c of the Jew-c Water was drawn from a stone jar in a reremosial vessel and rw»'irw{ nver thw heM »here a bvsiß. Hands were lifted that the water mtgbt run off be wrists i rwd not vontaminau* the flesh by 1 tcurluug « a second ume. If the hands w*re ceremonially defiled, two washings were necessary, one with waler running off the wrists, oct with waler running off the Lagerrtpis If the Jew was roa- • laminated by contact io the marketplace. he bathed all over before eaing. • A In their desire to observe these formahttes. the Jews >{ r Jesus day had forgotten the mteut of religion. They were inhuman against their brother man iu their desire to hold fas’, to these laws. These? Jesus denvtKiced 7 In the course of years, the rabbis, scribes and Pharisees, laud gradually evolved these laws and put them into force Inter t pretatfon of oae rule led to a new shuatiou. and the tangle grew These laws were hi no mattaer counected with the taws of Mores.

There were other rules and regulations just as unnecessary and unimportant which had grown up with this ceremonial bathing. They were not derived from the laws of Moses, but had been gradually built up by the rabbis and engrafted in the regulations of religious observances until their beginning was lost. It was against this sort of religious intolerance that Jesus was so outspoken.

the neighborhood of Capernaum. ? 9. Jesus knew that the scribes aad Pharisees of Jerusalem were plotting his destruction. His own I people in Nazareth had refused to accept him. So he had withdrawn l to Capernaum, where he made his ■ home with tdmon Peter, going i i out on evangelical journies from time to time. lit. Jesus at this time intro-1 uuced the parable as a means of 1 i teaching his lesson. He was being watched by the plotters, who, sought to bring charges of bias- 1 jiheniy and treason against him i In preaching by parables, which | ■ consisted tn telling a story, he left. fit tor his listener to draw his own insion Thus the interpreter iof the parable would be the man* who put the improper interpreta-1 jtK>n upon it o First United Brethren Church Charles J.
