God it righteoui. and cannot look with approval or in forgiveness upon sin until His mercy has been stirred and set free tc act by repentance. Then He whose wrath is hotly kindled against man s transgression shows Himself as the tender and gracious God. keeping loving-kind-ness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin." This grace of God is fully revealed in Christ and the redemption which He brought to man, but is prefigured in the experiences of Israel under the law. t. God's Wrath Kindled (Exod. 32.7-10*. There are those who would have us think of God as a benevolent old gentleman who Is easily hoodwinked by clever sinners who can talk fast to cover their iniquity. Even if He does see it, He is supposed to be so tenderhearted that He overlooks their sin. Such folk had better read these words. "That my wrath may wax hot." The wrath of God is a real and awful affection of the divine nature and it is revealed against man who sins against His holy law. The special sin of Israel on this occasion was idolatry, which is the setting up of some material symbol to represent the invisible God. Moses had been with God In the mount for 40 days He had been the Lord's representative in their midst. His presence had evidently been the chief stabilizing influence. Having their eye* set on a man. or a material object to take His place, they had lost sight of the invisible God. So they proceeded to establish this idol which would provide a center of worship. At first it was evidently intended to remind them of God. but soon it led them out into heathen revelry (Exod. 32: 6. 17. 18 • Whatever a man puts between himself and God, even though he may at first intend it to be but a reminder of God, will lead him away from God Ritual, symbols, theology, scholarship, all good in their places, may become the idol* which separate present-day man from God 11. God * Merry Invited (Exod. 34 4 9*. Aaron had only a weak "alibi" to effer The golden calf had practically made its.lf (see Exod. 32: 241. How quick man is to justify | himself instead at admitting his guilt .*• doubt our excuses sound just as silly as Aaron's in the ear* of God. Mi ses knew better. The sin was dealt with in drastic fi.hion. When one deal* with a wild ravenous beast, there is one remedy—"shoot to kill." Not only were the leaders of the wickedness slain, but the ground e Id the calf image was put mt < water, which all Israel drank. Thus were they al) marked a: sharing the gu.lt f thia idolatry. There is a lesson here for us. America is far from God. We need to seek Hi* face to repentance But let us remember that we (that is, Christian men and women! are a part of America. It is our guilt, and we ought to be on our faces before G"d. pleading for God's mercy upon our land. Moses was now ready to seek the Lard’s mercy for his wayward people He is the intrreesse- the intermediary G<d had a mat. who had compassion and love in his heart, and the Lord heard him. Loving-kmdnass and tender mercy flowed forth to pl**e of flaming anger. Note that God has not changed. He is the unchangeable One. His wrath ia still hot against mar's sin, but man baa repeated and moved out of God’* wrath into His love and gfac». That too Is always being shown to His obedient children 111. Ged* Covenant Renewed (Exod. >0:38. 3»Mose* had broken the Srst tablets of commandments. The people had sinned and were not then ready to listen to any word from Jehovah. But now they were prepared to receive ft. and God renewed the covenant as He again gave Mose* the tew.

In (his le-son are given a few discussions on the purpose of the Old Testament law* and the place of the law in the life of a Christian : new V. 1 Thou ah.ilt not take up a I false report; put not thy hand with the wicked to lu- an unrfghteouwitneMt" Do not start or spread any fa toe report or unfounded rumor Do not join a wicked witness In hl* untrue and malicious testimony. V i "Thou shalt not follow a multitude to do evel; neither -halt thou speak In a cause to turn aside after a multitude to wrapt justice." Do not advocate or approve any cause ’ha' to hurtful, however popular. V 3. Neither shalt thou favor a poor man in hi* cause." Do not through pity favor a poor man when his plea to unjust. Vs 4, 5. "If thou meet thine enemy's ox or hl* ass going astray, thou ehalt -titely bring it back to him again If thou see the a-e of him ’hat hat>-th thee lying under ' his hudden. thou .(halt forbear to leave him thou shalt surely release It with him " Do not fail to rescue um! return a straying or offering j beast even when its owner to your j I enemy.

' V 7 "Keep thee far from a false ®a”»r; and the Innoi-cn’ and righteous slay ye not: for I will not justify the wicked." Do not allow nt engage in inflicting injury Involving perjury, execution of tbs innocent, or acquittal of the guilty. V Ji. "And thou halt take no bribe; for a bribe bliudeth them that have sight, and perverteth the word- of the righteous " l»o not take a bribe or a fee that would blind the wise and pervert the word* of the righteous, or "'destroy the case of a good man ” < Moffatt) V 9.

Im not take advantage of a strung e> by mallreatme.it ot neglect, liemember your one experience a* a stranger in a strange land. V 23 But before faith cam-, we were kept under the law. shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed " Before- Christ came and faith had been placed in him. the children of Israel were kept under the law They kaew that theii law for-shadowed the Coming One in whom their true faith should aftei wards be revealed. V 24. "So ’hat the lawi is become our tutor to bring us unto Christ, that we might l>e Justified by faith." The law instructed concerning Christ: showed tho need of Christ; operated until Christ came; bu' it could not justify. Only by faith in Christ is justification experienced.

The 13-cent welfare levy will produce nuprly 333,865. i The county highway budget, listed at 3108.520, is not included ill the above total, aa Income is deriv> d solely from the gasoline tax. This m estimated at 3108.520. it being up to the county council to ap propriate as much of it as the member* determine is necessary io operate the highway system. When the 1943 budget waa published the estimates totaled 3170,, 211. Following the review of all appropriation* by the council, th-j total was cut to 3165 **oo. The rate was cut from 33 to 31 cents, based on the pt linings from the total. It la likely that a cut will be made in the welfare department's pro|M)sed levy, since the propoaed levy was figured on the county's 1943 assessment.
