IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL &JNMSOIOOL Lesson (By REV. 1- B. FITZWATER. D. D.. readier ol English Bible In the Moody Bible nstltute of Chicago.) (©. 19 31, Western Newspaper Union.) LESSON FOR MAY 8 REST AND WORSHIP (RECREATION). i j LESSON TEXT—Lev. 23:39-43; Deut. < 5:13-15; Mark e:;:i, 32; GOLDEN TEXT—The streets of the city , shall be full of boys and girls, playing in th* streets thereof.—Zech. 8:5. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Ex. 33:14; [ Lev. 23:3; Neh. -9-1 S; lleb. 4:9. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Happiest Day j of the Week. .11 NIOII TOPIC —Holy and Happy Days. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC —Sane Recreation. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC —The Use and Guidance of Recreation. The title “Rest and Recreation,” as chosen by the committee, is hardly true to the content of the Scripture passages'. It should be “Rest and Worship.” 1-—The Feast of Tabernacles (Lev. 23:39-43). This was the final feast of the series which in type covered the great fads of redemption. 1. Time of (v. 39). It was on the fifteenth day of the seventh month am! lasted seven days. This time would 1 about correspond to the close of our September and the beginning of OctoI ber. It was after the harvest had been i , gathered. 2. Method of keeping (vv. 40, 42), They were to take the boughs of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and the boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook, and construct booths. These booths were placed on the tlat tops of houses, on the streets and open places of the city, and even in the fields. In these the people dwelt for . the whole week. 3. The significance of it (v. 43). (1) ’ A memorial of Israel's dwelling in booths in the wilderness (vv. 42. 43). It reminded them of God's care of them I during their journey through the wil- , demess. (2) A “harvest-home thanks- . giving” (v. 39). “When ye have gatnered the fruits of the land.” This was the greatest feast of rejoicing of the whole year, for more numerous sacrii tices were offered than at any time of the others (Num. 29:12-30). (3) It foreshadowed the final gathering of , God's redeemed ones from all nations (Zech. 14:1G, 17). ll.—The Sabbath Day (Deut. 5:1215). 1. Meaning of (Gen. 2:2, 3; cf. Ex. 120:8-11). According to the etymology • of the’word, “Sabbath” means to desist I from exertion —repose. God rested ‘ when the work of creation was done. On the basis of this, God has estabI lished the law of laltor and rest. It is not only a memorial of creation, but i of redemption (Deut. 5:15). The I to keep ihe Sabbath in > memory of the deliverance from Egyptian bondage. 2. Obligation of (vv. 12-15). (1) Kept as a sacred institution (v. 12). | God sanctified it (Gen. 2:3). “Sanctii fy” means to consecrate, dedicate, i therefore holy. It means set apart to I God’s service; therefore keeping the I Sabbath meant more than cessation from labor —it meant to cease from labor in order to occupy one's self with God. Its supreme .signification and obligation was to remember God. (2) No work to be done on the Sabbath (vv. 13, 14). All work was to be done in six days. In fact, the obligation to work six days is here made just as • binding as to keep the Sabbath day. j Work was God's primal thought for I man. Even before the fall he was to i “dress and keep" the garden. Work is i the psychological solution of pauperism (11 Thess. 3:10). It is a thousand times more gracious to provide em- ( ployment for the suffering poor than to make gratuitous gifts unto them. (3) Ry whom should the Sabbath be kept (v. 14)? (a) The head of the family. He should be the example for all. (b) Tb.e children. The children should be i obliged to follow the example of the parents in keeping the Sabbath, (c) The servants. The maid in the kitchen, the servant on the farm, the chauf- ; feur in the city, should keep the Sabbath as well as the head of the family and the children, (cl) The beasts of burden. The dumb animals are likewise entitled to their rest, (e) The stranj ger. The foreigner wiio conies to oiu shores should be obliged to keep the ’ Sabbath. It should be kejit in mind that Christians are not under obligation to keep the Sabbath as law (Col. 2:IG. 17). and especially as it applies to any particular seventh day. The first day of the week is the proper day for a Christian to observe. This he does not as a law, but as a glorious and exalted privilege. He is on resurrection ground, therefore above the law. While the keeping of the Sabbath is a matter of privilege, woe unto th<* one who abuses this privilege. The principle of resting one day out of sox. n i> inexorable in its demands. (4) The ground of obligation was redemption from bondage (v. 15). 111. Jesus Invited His Disciples to Rest (Mark G:31,32). He tool; them apart to a desert place. This was not primarily for recreation, but that they might be free from the crowd to have fellowship with Him. that they might be pre pared for ti e strenuous days which were to follow.

U. S. REGULARS TO GUARD MAIL Armed Troops to Be Placed on Duty in Effort to Halt Holdups. FIRST TRYOUT AT CHICAGO All Federal Buildings to Be Under Guard of Soldiers—Hays and Postmaster Carlile Confer on the Plan. < hieago, April 27.— Regular army I troops are to guard all government property in Chicago until such time ! as the daring and successful opera- I tions of the city’s criminals are I checked by the local authorities. 1 his was the reply of the government to the half dozen big mail robberies recently, which have cost it in the neighborhood <>f S2,(W.<X»O. Notice of the unprecedented move i was received by Postmaster William IL < arlile in the form of a letter from the postmaster general. The letter stated that regular troops were being ■ assigned immediately to guard the i Federal building, the Federal Reserve bank, postal substations and all other government prop(*rty when* money or articles of value are handled. /I his. move on the part of the government was made on reconmiendation of Postmaster Carlile a weel< ago in I a letter to the postmaster general. The letter received almost instant atten- i tion, and in the reply which the postmaster received he is authorized to take immediate action. “I am particularly interested in your suggestion of guarding the malls by use of federal troops in the larger I cities of tin* country.” the repl.v read, “and wish you to try it out as soon as possible in your district, as soon as you have worked out a plan. Let me know when yon have coniideted preparations and troops will In* assigned to be placed under your direction.” Mr. Carlile already litis sent forward a reconmiendation that troops bo assigned here immediately. Mr. Carlile said that, according to Information gathered by postotiice in- ’ Spectors, rhe many recent mail robberles throughout the country have been the work of organized gangs who have worked together. The headquartors of these gangs, federtil authorities believe, has been Chicago and for that reason Chicago was chosen as the city where the now plan of using federal troops will be tried. Later, it I is planned to use the same methods in : New York, Philadelphia, Indianapolis I and other large cities wl.ere large I amounts of money are sent and re- i ceived through the mails. Washington, April 27.—Mail robbers i got away with approximately ?t'».000.<XM) last year, of which some Sa.IXMI.QQO J has b^en recovered. Postmaster Gen-* eral Hays said In discussing steps taken to remedy this “absolutely in- j tolerable" condition. “It must be stopped and it will be stopped,y he said, adding that in addition to the distribution of arms to postal employees the standing reward of $5,000 to any employee of the de- ; partment who brought in a mail robber had been widened to include the general public. MARINE ENGINEERS TO STRIKE N. Y. Union Leaders Say 100,000 Men Will Go Out May I—May Be International. New York. April 2G. —The Marine Engineers’ Beneficial association issued a strike proclamation to take effect May 1. This announcement was made after its representatives broke off negotiations with the American Steamship Owners’ association, after con- I ferences regarding a new working agreement. The union leaders asserted that 100,000 firemen, oilers and water tenders would support the move and predicted ' that the strike might develop into international proportions, as the British engineers had deferred negotiations with their employers until after April 29 in order to await the outcome of the American situation.

' GERMANY TO PAY U. S. FOR ALLIES Berlin Is Willing to Take Over Debts of Entente to America. ; i NOTE PROPOSES ARBITRATION Clause in Message Says Germany SugI gests Appointment of Unbiased Commission—Premier Briand Issues Ultimatum. Berlin, April 28.—Germany, “in the event the I nlted States and the allies ‘ so desire, is willing, according to the । extent of her ability and capacity, to , assume the allies’ obligations to the , United States,” says a clause in her ( ■ reparations counter-proposals, it is i definith*y learned here. With this I exception the counter-proposals for- : warded to Washington, including the offer of 2(X),<XX),(XX),(XK) gold marks ($47,GOO,000,000), are virtually as foreI cast in Monday's press dispatches | from this city. Germany offers to pay SO.(MX),<XX),000 gold marks, the present value of which, converted into annuities, would total 200,<XN),(XMUXX) gold marks, payl able according to her ability. Arbitration proposed by Germany for determining the total amount due from her on reparations is contained in the reparations note forwarded to Washington. A clause in this note says: “Germany suggests the appointment of an unbiased commission to fix the total sum of her war reparations, which she | pledges to accept as binding and to | carry out with good faith.” “With the aeeeptance of these proposals." says tb.e German note. “Germany's other reparations and obligations will be annulled and all German private property in foreign countries released." As evidence of her good faith, says the note, Germany is prepared immediately to place at the disposal of the reparations commission 150,<XX),000 i marks in gold, silver and foreign ex- ■ change, and 850,(Xhi.tkkt gold marks in | treasury notes, redeemable within three months in foreign exchange or I foreign securities. The note to the Washington government. embodying the German proposats, was made public here. Washington, April 28.— r rhe German । counter proposals of reparation*, were discussed at length at the regular 1 meeting of President Harding's cab- : | iret, but if any decision was reached ’ the fact was carefully concealed. Those attending the meeting main- ' tained absolute silence on the subject and would not say even that the German communication was taken up. It was known, however, that Secretary Hughes laid it before tb.e President and his advisers. ) The impression was gained that the German proposals had produced a I favorable impression. Officials said that unless there be some “camouflage" or secret meaning in Germany's offer, it cannot be otherwise than a “proper basis” for discussion by the i allies and the United States. What I a deeper analysis of the German note ! ■ will show has not yet been deter- ; I mined. Even suggestions as to the * probable course of the United States ; in dealing with the German communi- ■ cation were carefully withheld, howj ever. Secretary Hughes invited all amI bassadors of the allied powers to ' meet him at the State department, ' i following receipt of the new German । reparations proposal. The ambassaI dors are understood to have cabled ; the terms of the offer to their home ' governments immediately. They have no discretion in the matter of rejection or acceptance of the proposals, it ■ was pointed out. Paris. April 2s.—Germany's new rep- I arations propositions, as made public, 1 are considered here as unacceptable : even as a basis for discussion, accord- ! ing to well-informed opinion close to i the French foreign office. Copies of telegrams from Berlin. | I giving the official summary of the of- , ter, were circulated in the chamber of I deputies and the senate, where the I । terms set forth were animatedly dis- | I cussed. The general comment was । that the offer was absurdly insufficient. | It was pointed out that the only i i cash offered by the Germans was j ' 15<>,<XJO.OOO marks, against the 12.1XX),- । (XXHMX) marks estimated as due May 1. Premier Briand told the chamber of । deputies: “If on May 1 satisfactory proposals. | with acceptable guarantees, are not \ made by the German government, Ihe Ruhr will be occupied.” After h aring the premier’s state ment the ehambi*r voted contidence in . the government by a vote of 421 to _’9, with 59 deputies a! staining from voting.
