It is vital. Reverence toward God and the things of God will result in respect for all values in life. It will balance our thinking, speaking, and our acting toward our fellow men as well as toward our God. Our lesson calls for I. Reverence in Worship (Exod. 20:7; Lev. 19:12). The Lord rightfully expects from us a proper attitude toward him. If we worship him as we should, we shall find that other matters fall into their proper relationships. Essential in true worship is reverence for the name of the Lord, for that name stands for all the qualities and characteristics of God. This means that there must be no taking of the name of the Lord "in vain." Our use of the word "vain" carries the meaning of “useless, without purpose or meaning This is part of what is in mu.d in this commandment. tor the name of Jehovah is sacred and is to be reverenced as standing for the eternal God It is never to be used carelessly, or for a frivolous purpose. All too often we tell jokes or stories which have no real purpose or meaning except to elicit a laugh, and in them we use the name of God. We all need to exercise care at that point The Hebrew word translated “vain" has the additional meaning of "evil” and falsehood.” Men are so bold that they may even use the name of God io support themselves in a lie. God hears and will in no wise hold them guiltless. IL Reverence In Words (Matt. 5: 33The Sermon on the Mount (socalled)', from which this portion of Scripture is taken, is difficult to interpret to the satisfaction of all. Some disregard its evident application to the kingdom and, attempting to apply it in the midst of an ungodly generation, fall into such inconsistency that they abandon the effort and regard the teaching of the passage as impossible idealism. Others, who rightly interpret the passage as presenting the laws and principles of life in the kingdom of God. when it shall be fully set up on earth with Jesus as King, fail to make any application of those principles to life. This is also an unfortunate error. We who follow the Lord Jesus are not to swear by either things sacred or things that might be called secular. Perhaps he has in mind that our lives should be so true that men will not need to have any kind of oath to be assured of our sincerity and honesty. Swearing should be entirely beyond the pale with Christian men and women. It is all too common with both men and women. One fears that this is true not only in the world, but among professed believers In Christ Let us stop itt ill. Reverence in Works (Mark 7:5-5). Words which do not issue tn works are worse than meaningless. They lead to acceptance of a formal religious system which is dangerous. “It gives a sense of religious satisfaction which is very superficial but of some apparent value. It carries with it no high ethical demands. It helps a man to feel religious without being either ethical or moral. It doos not probe or arouse. It soothes and calms" <W. B. White). Who will deny that much of the church life of our day has reached that same sad state of "much ado about nothing —talk, talk, talk, and no honest disposition to deal with sin, or to seek holiness of life. The Lord hates it. and it is a vain exercise as far as spiritual results are concerned. nr.

Tbe only dilYernce. be Mid. was that tbe other companies took government contract* to the names of subsidiaries and the government leased them the plants, whereas Erie and Batavia manufactured their jiroducts "in plants owned by them or by companies owned by their stockholders."

there was no doubt that each defendant played a key role In seeking to place the world under the dictatorship of Adolf Hitler.

He Implored the court to ignore oral defense testimony which, he said, was loaded with “Iles, doubletalk. fantastic explanations, absurd professions, flimsy excuses and paltry evasions." “The fact Is that the Nasi habit of economixing in the use of truth pulls the foundation out from undec their own defenses," Jackson ailerted Jackson declared that the Nazis used the deceiving background of their testimony to ask the tribunal 'o clear them of planning, executing or conspiring to commit tbe long list of crimes with which they are charged.”
