*,TEN COMMANDMENTS DEFENDED
In this day of isms and schisms, with ceI *®u} clergy
men questioning the authenticity of the Bible, and
with jdl sorts of dogma being foisted upon an all too
credulous public, it is really refreshing to encounter
an exponent of the “old time religion, the brand
of faith that sustained our forefathers in ordeals
that tried men’s souls, and which steered them
through perilous undertakings that required some-
thimr-more potent than much of the present day new
fangled religion, upon which to base their hope of a
brighter day.
This exponent of the faith of the fathers is none
other than Chancellor David C. Barrow, of the Uni
versity of Georgia, affectionately known throughout
the'Etate as “Uncle Dave.” The Chancellor is writ
ing aperies of articles for the Christian Index on the
Ten Commandments, the first installment of which
bas been widely commented upon in the pulpit and
in the press as a very tmely and effectve antidote for
tnuch of the pernicious heterodoxy with which the
present age is afflicted. ....... ...
Here is what “Uncle Dave says in his first article
of the laws of God as given to MoSes:
The ten commandments, as they are usually
called, are very- old. They were given by Jeho-
tah Himself to Moses. No other writing has the
dinstinction claimed for these commandments,
of having been handed down to men directly
' from God. They should have the most thought
ful-consideration of which we are capable.
In the form, eight of them arc prohibitions,
"•ntou shalt not,” is the language u f ed ; ^
fourth commandment the language is, Remem
her the Stbbath day to keep it holy. But evt
in this thou .halt not comes in the enumeration,
nr* we nav say nine are prohibitions. „
• The fifth commandment is direct injunction to
Hofabr thy father and thy mother—and has
promise attached to it. , .
From the form which the commandments arc
criven we are apt to regard them as mere restne-
- fons on conduct. Indeed, they are so common-
jlv taught and expounded as mere prohibitions,
that one hesitates to approach them in any
sure that they are the laws of Me and
* - that I have for many years spoken of
the rules for character building.
in manliness—womanliness—is found
_ . -inlhese laws. n .!
Iliave no doubt they came direct from God, it
•does hot seem to me possible that they could
have come from any other source.
The first commandment seems a mere p -
hiWtion. Jesus puts it affirmatively, Thou

. one who would question this. Mr. Cecil Rhodes
• • wifote, “I fear I did not work at Oxford as much,
-- or get as much good out of the university as I
should have done. But I did read some Greek,
and' especially some Aristotle, and one sentence
of Inis has influenced me more than almost any
thing else. It Is one in which he says that the
, greatest happiness in life is to be derived from -
thef'conscious pursuit of a great purpose. Here
is Some groping by the Greek philosopher after
the first commandment. Its adoption by a man
who gave England an empire, and gave his vast
private fortune to make scholars, and create un- J
derstanding and fellowship among nations,
shows what an approach toward the first com- v
mandment may do, God should be our first
and highest ideal. ...
Thou shalt tako God as the guide to thy life.
- People who do this and consciously pursue it
will attain to their greatest growth. Was it
Enjereon who said, “Hitch your wagon to a
star?” This also was a groping after the first
commandment
* r. rSet your face toward God and steadily press
, toward this ideal and you will get your great
est growth. **
The first commandment tell, you to order your
[• ' G:
life by the very highest ideal.
•To n
me, the first commandment also teaches
concentration. In any undertaking (consistent
.with ideal) you may profit by using the first
cdAmandment. Let us take your work litre in
tfcm school. You set yourself to learn some
i(&son. For the time being you must concentrate
on that lesson if you would do your best. No
other before, is a god motto in learning a lesson.
Since this thought came to me, I hope I am not
seeming to belittle the commandment, I use
thftt commandment as a rule for work—no other
play at this time. Suppose you try this tonight
When you go to your study set yourself down
before the lesson in hand, shut off other things
Juju see how it will help you. This is a secondary
lino of thought, I admit it, but f orme, it is in this
/lift of the rules of life.
- How beautifully Jesus interprets this com
mandment. He was the greatest interpreter of
' TJoa. “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with
alFthy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all
thy-mind.’,’ This certainly will cause you to fol-
. low the great ideal.
S is a great misfortune when a boy falls in
Um with a girl who is not a high ideal to him.
...ItiM a great good fortune when he falls in love
wfth a girl who is a high ideal to him. It will
build him up if he can be built up. I know thi

The adoption by the mem
bers of the Board of Educa
tion of the tnrilt system the
public scnools is an advance
step towards training the children
to save and live economically. This
suggestion was made in this col-
unmn several months ago as a re
sult of this system being inaugu
rated in many of the schools
throughout the country.
The system encourages the
children to save their pennies,
nickles and dimes and it will be
surprising the large amount ac
cumulated from this practice. Re
sides the children soon become in
terested in saving their pin mon
ey and every day deposits will
be made with the teachers of the
various grades. Every child in
the public schools should have a
savings account and form the
habit of thrift and earning what
ever amounts they can aftfcr
school hours. We have known
children to walk to school in or
der to save car fare to be del
posited in the thrift fund which
they have commenced and in many
ether ways the children save their
money for this purpose. Regard
less of the amount ’hey may save,
the education of a thrift and sav
ings habit will mean roach to them
in future life and prepare them for
the making of good business men
