.. Lesson for October 17, 1948
If" Jim
Dr. Foreman
yOU, friend reader, probably 1 know less about what is in the books of Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers and Deuteronomy than any other part of the '
Bible. These are
the sections mostly filled with laws "Thou shaft . . . Thou shalt not." You either skip these entirely or you Say to yourself, "Well, thai has nothing , to do with me." K so, you have been missing
one of the most interesting sections of the Bible. Some of these old laws are dead; but even a mummy can be interesting. Call them dead if you like; you. still can learn a great deal about the times and the minds and the ctistoms of those far-off days by reading the laws which governed people's daily lives. But it is hardly fair to call them dead. Rather, they have been honorably retired. That is to say, they were admirable laws in their time and place, '"' and God's will was learned through them. The Living Soul of Law THERE are two jfays of looking at any law, or you might say there are two sides of every law, the inside and the outside, the soulj and the body as it were. The body, the outside, is the letter of the law; the inside or soul of the law is the1 spirit or principle of the law. The body of the law, like the body of a man, Ties; it is hot in- . ' tended to live on and on. But the soul of the law (if it has . one; some don't) lives forever. Take, for instance, that law in Lev. 19:9, 10. The body of it, the letter, says: Do not be efficient in getting in your crops. Leave some wheat in the field. Leave some grapes on the vine. Today that sounds rather stupid, on the face of it, and no good farmer would pay attention to it. But look at the spirit of that law: the

"Doctrine of Atonement" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, October 17. . The Golden Text is: "The Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many" (Mark 10: 45). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: "And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me" (John 12:23, 24, 32). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science' and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy: "The efficacy of the crucifixion lay in the practical affection and goodness it demonstrated for mankind" (p. 24). "The final demonstration of the
truth which Jesus taught, and for R-nn
which he was crucified, opened a new prnVf.r mooting o Ti.nvU TVinoo nrVin slow Idyer meeting

' iThere was then no Red Cross., no bureau of displaced persons, no , - traveler's aid, no family service, no ' social security, none of our many .' '.. imodern agencies for the underpriv- . Ileged. Those who had property "'were bidden to have a care for , 1 (those Who had none. The duty of society to see that no one starves, the duty of all I to help those In need, that is'The J - living sonl of this law, and it f still breathes in laws of the 20th
century laws of old age assistance, maternity assistance, pension plans and So forth. The living soul of the Old Testament laws can be expressed this !way: The love of Justice and the justice of love. The best and wisest " laws today are those which give this same spirit its fullest and most practical form. jesus' Last Word THE Jews figured out that there were in all 613 separate commandments in all the laws combined. They used to have interest- ' ing debates as to which of all the 613 commandments was the most important. They tarae to Jesus with that . well-worn question. Jesus quoted only two laws, one from Deut. 6:5 and the other from . Lev. 19:18. Love God, love your neighbor, be said. All the other laws depend on these 'two. ,.,'To this day. Christian thinkers are not entirely agreed as to just !how far Old Testament laws may be binding on Christians. But all are ''agreed on two points: The basic principle of these laws Is always good, and that fundamental principle is love. Love Is Not Repealed ..,'TpHIS Is what Christians mean - - when they say that the laws of God are eternal. We do not mean that every law between the covers -of the Bible can and should be used as the law of our land today. What we do mean is that the spirit of these laws is immortal, "for the spirit is love, and love never has been repealed. Show me a law which helps the '.'strong at the expense of the weak, a law which encourages cheating and selfishness and fighting, and I will show you a bad law. Show me a law which encourages and helps , men to deal fairly with one anolhei . and to live together in peace, and I will show you a good law. Evey law that helps you love your neighbor is a good law; indeed there is something divine about it, for God is Love. '(Copyright by the International Council

This picture portrays a sight that was common a few generations ago. The tallow candle was an essential commodity in nearly every home, and much of the world's activity was carried on by its flickering beams. ' " " From the earliest days, man has sought means of lighting his darkness. In this quest, he has progressed from the burning of sticks and candles to the use of the gas burner and electricity. . Thus man has robbed the night of its terrors, and has used the dark 1 Mrs to serve his own purposes. He does not have to cower in a cave or den as many wild animals do. With light, he can work, study, travel, play, or be entertained. Spiritual darkness is more to be feared and shunned than the darkness of night. Man needs a light within to guide his heart and mind as he moves onward through life. God is that light, and the Church and the Bible are the sources from which it shines.
