THE LAWS OF A PEOPLE .; . . j '; LESSON TEXT Exodus 26:1-17. GOLDEN TEXT I will delight myself In thy commandments, which I have loved. Psalm 119:47. ! Law is necessary to order. Basic (laws have been laid down by God for the orderly administration of His universe. Physical laws are of great impor tance, dui ot even deeper sigruncance are the moral and spiritual laws which control the human life. There is in the world a moral law a distinction between right and wrong which man may ignore only to his own sorrow, and which he cannot abrogate or destroy. All laws of men which are true and right are founded on this underlying moral law, and they are. in reality simply a development and interpretation of "God's Code of Morals" the Ten Commandments. These fundamental laws were given to Israel at Mount Sinai, but they speak to us with r.emarkuble freshness and directness. They merit more extensive study than we can give them in this limited space, but we can note their broad outlines and certain practical applications. Thera are two ' divisions one concerns man in his relation to God, and the otner in nis relation to men. we have: I. A Right View of God (vv. 1-11). The first and most important question to be asked regarding any law is, "By whom was it established?" Legislation by an unauthorized person or organization has no power over others. Who gave the len Commandments? Verse 1 tells us "God spake all these words." Men may sneer at theology as being outmoded, but the fact is that Christian doctrine is the only safe foundation for Christian character. .1. Whom to Worship (vv. 2-5). There can be but one true God, and He alone is to be worshiped. He is a personal being, ready to enter Into - communion with each one of us. No image or likeness can take His "place. Bowing down before idols. . no matter what they may be called, la vnrps:ltf fnrhidrlpn hv frftrl. O Until in WnrcVlin (xrv R 7 Wa SI. J..VJ IV .fW.Ji.i. . ..

There is to be no sham " oout this, for no matter how sweet and pious may be the praise and prayer of man, he has taken the Lord's name in vain unless he Keeps "living. .. ; 1 3. When to Worship w. ff-ll).God has ordained that man" should not Incessantly bear the burden of toil. He; is to' have a day of rest and a time for worship, undisturbed by the , i 1 i : - J ' I amies ana respunsiouiues ox uauy labor. . America needs a mighty stirring up about the desecration of the Lord's day. The stalwarts of the last' generation fought a valiant bat-.-tle against a rising tide of secularism and worldly pleasure. Now no " one seems to care. Do you? "Six. . days shalt thou labor." Give God one day out of seven. It. A Eight View of Mart (vv. 1217). . To be right with God means that we will also be right with our fellowman. Conversely, the man who is manifestly wrong in his relation to his fellowmari is either not right with God at all, or he is not living out his Christian life in practice. This should show in: 1. Family Life (v. 12). The fifth commandment has to do with the relation between child and parent. There is a plain and direct comrriand that father and mother should be honored. Only in respect and obedience to parents can the child possibly find true and proper development, j Parents who have permitted children to go astray during the war' ' years will need to stress anew the God-required obedience to the'ir authority. . j 2. Physical Life' fvv. 13, 14). God( Js Interested in our bodies. Already1 we have noted His provision for a day of rest each week. Now we are reminded of the sanctity of human life. "Thou shalt not kill," and remember there are many other ways to kill a man other than shooting him. Let us be sure that we are not party to the destruction of anyone s Ule eiiner ty reason oi carelessness or greed. j .Note the emphasis on adultery.. Moral unclearmess, which is so aw-1 fully common hi our day, is one of the most effective methods of destroying the body even while degrading and defiling the soul with sin. . ' 3. Social Life (w. 15-17). "Thou shalt not steal" and remember any dishonest appropriation of what does not belong to you is stealing, call it what you will. And "false witness" how it has honeycombed our very civilization! Not a little of it is found within the church, more shame upon us! Lastly we come to "covetousness" which has been called one of the "respectable sins of nice people." It is-subtle and olten hidden. Let us root it out of car own lives by God's grace.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES "Life" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, January 20. The Golden Text is: "He that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; bpt he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting" (Galatians 6:8). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent" (John 17:1-3). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook,"Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "Wo can, and ultimately shall, so rise as to avail ourselves in every direction of the supremacy 'of Truth over error, Life over death, and good over evil, and this growth will go on until we arrive at the fulness of God's idea, and no more fear that we shall be sick and die" (p. 406).

SULLIVAN DAILY TIMES

Bat if when I entered some woodland elf bold Demanded my friends for the privilege he sold, I'd turn in alarm and hastily flee To some favored spot where friendship might be. The grasses would wither and flowers would fade; The skies would be cloudy, the sun would be dim, The trees would be skeletons, foreboding and grim; The air would be murky, the paths would be bare, If friendship and friends could not enter there.

(By J. R. Swauger) If Fancy could give the prow of my bark, 'Cross Dreamland's wide ocean to Beauty's fair park, Where flowers and birds and sunshine and song, All teem 'round the pathways in riotous song, Where silvery brooklets rush murmuringly by, Or placidly pause to mirror blue sky: Where from leafy castle through windows of green, Where fall specks of gold, earth's carpets to sheen; Where colorful sunsets paint tints the whole day, My heart would delight to travel th'at way.

For friendship means sunshine and gladness and song,

No matter where placed, to friends they belong. For flowers are fairer, and skies are more clear, And notes of the song-birds are sweeter to hear; Fathways are smoother, and sunshine more bright Where Beauty and Friendship are blended aright. But e'en fairer still is the path if we claim The friendship of Jesus and abide in His name; For friendships of earth more richly will blend If Jesus is present when friend walks with friend.

Friend.
