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 Wi’evTi. a htt ldo.1 affX builder of churacter. ’ There ie bardly any- . 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 is true. S .Bwm grow.' I have seen tms tnea. i know: Build up in the highest and best .way. except a corn of wheat fail into the ground and die. It ebldeth alone; but If It die. It brfngeth forth much fruit.—John 12:24. Death is the dropping of the flower that the fruit may swell.— Beecher. DfD ft EVER OCCUR TO YOU?

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.
