Western Newspaper Union ) Lesson for March 17 THE CHRISTIAN'S SABBATH LESSON TEXT—Exodus 20:8-11; Matthew 12:1-8. GOLDEN TEXT— For the Son of man Is Lord even of the Sabbath Day. PRIMARY TOPlC—God's Day, Sun-| JUNIOR TOPlC—God's Day, Sunday. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP lC—Keeping the Lord's Day. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Lord's Day in Modern Life The designation "Christian's Sab bath" is a misnomer. The word "Sab bath" has a definite meaning. It sig nifies rest, cessation from action. When God had finished the heavens and earth, lie desisted from creative action (Gen. 2:1-3). Since God's cre ative work was completed in six days, He ceased from action on the seventh day, which was therefore called the Sabbath, or Rest Day. Five definite objects may be assigned to the Sab bath: 1. To commemorate the work of ' creation (Gen. 2:3. cf. Ex. 20:11). !2. To kgep alive the knowledge of ,the true God. Creation witnesses of ia creator. Keeping the Sabbath in : mind kept in mind the creation, and the creation made real the Creator. 3. A forward look to the time when ' man shall enjoy full fellowship with . God (Heb. 4:1-10). 4. To Israel it was a sign of the covenant between them and God (Deut. 5:12-15). . 5. It was made for man's well-being (Mark 2:27). At least while man's earthly condi tion continues, the Sabbath is needed to keep a proper balance between his body and his soul.. I. The Fourth Commandment (Ex. 20:8-11). 1. Obligations enjoined (20:9, 10). (1) Work through six days (v. 9). The command to work six days Is just as binding as the command to rest the seventh day. In fact, there can be no rest unless there first be work. (2) Rest on the Seventh day (v. 10). There must be cessation from all work on the Sabbath. Since God gave the example and then sanctified the day, it should be kept holy. It was not only to give relief to the physical body but to be a time when man's thought w&ild be turned to God. It was designed to keep fresh in his mind the consciousness of God and 1113 mercies. The human spirit should be refreshed by the study of God's Word.l 2. How this commandment may be broken.J (1) By engaging in labor or pursu ing business interests on this sacred day. i (2) Ry devoting it to amusements, since it was designed to keep fresh in mind the consciousness of God. (3) By making it a day of feasting. 11. The Son of Man Is Lord of the Sabbath (Matt. 12:1-8). 1. The hungry disciples plucking corn (v. 1). This took place on the Sabbath day and became (lie occasion for criticism. 2. The Pharisees finding fault (v. 2 They asserted that Christ's disciples were breaking the law, when in real ity they were only violating the tradi-, tlons with which the law was encum bered. The Lord's purpose in institut ing the Sabbath was to conserve man's highest interest and contribute to his happiness. It is extremely uufor-. tunale when human tradition is ele-| rated above the Word of Cod. 3. Christ's reply to the cavils of the Pharisees (v. 3-S). In this reply lie shrewdly answered, the Pharisees and pressed His tran- 1 scendent claim as to the dignity of , Uis person. This claim moved them to plot His death. As to His '.claim, observe:, (1) He is greater than their great est king (v. 3. 4). David, when re jected, was forced to do that which was unlawful for him to do (I Sain. 1). Because they had rejected the one greater than David, the plucking of the ears of corn became a necessity. ,(2) lie is greater than their sacri fice and' priesthood (v. 5). If the priests, because of their position and services, could violate the Sabbath laws and be blameless, much more the, One greater than they in performing' ills work of sacrifice and redemption | for them should be considered guilt-| less. Ile~was the true sacrifice andl priest. (3) Ile x's greater than the temple (v. 6). The temple, with all its gor geous rites and ceremonies, was typ ical of Christ. Much more then did Lie have the right to do what He did. (4) He is greater than the Sabbath (v. 8), because He is Lord of the Sab- Great Task of Happiness It was" for the joy that was set be fore Lilni .that our Lord endured the Cross, Despising the shame. The joy of the Ascension is but an echo of the Joy nt,. Bethlehem, and the task of Christ was one "great task of happi ness."

'T^iE State Bank cf Remington had 1 just installed a machine which obviated human adding and substract ing—one which totaled a column" of figures in neat little typewritten let tern, much to the astonishment of the elder men of the village, who declared that "it can't be done." The company who made the machine suggested that they send seme cue up to their school for two er three weeks to learn how to operate the machine efficiently. And, of course, there was no one but Ed Collins to go. Ed Collins was the only one who worthed in the bank except the president. , Ed Collins was delighted at the pre/pect of going. He rushed right down Main street as fast as he could to tell Anna about it. He felt confi dent that she would be quite as de ligided as he. But she wasn't. She was sweeping the front porch, which was already speckless. Her crisp blue apron had a perky bow of white lawn holding it together at the back, and her cheeks were pink from the exercise cf sweeping. Altogether she was a pretty sight—pink and blue and creamy skin topped by golden hair. She was not beautiful. There were at least half a dozen girls prettier in Remington than she, but Anna and Ed had always "gone together," as the folks in Remington said. Ed was thinking about all of this as he sat in the living room of his aunt's tiny flat on the next Saturday morning. He had applied himself to the work at the school and had learned all that he needed to know for the bank work and was ready to start home .".gain. When his aunt bad suggested staying in the city until Sunday night he had eagerly accept cd the invitation, for he wanted to look about a little. He had been dumfounded when he had first seen the vast numbers of pretty girls that lived in the city. He had heard vague ly that city girls were "lookers," as the Remington boys said, but these girls in the neighborhood were abso lutely stunning. There was one upstairs that he had seen several times in his short stay, and he had wished that his aunt would introduce them. This girl was a pretty blonde, whose hair was al ways waved and dressed in the latest way. Her skin was marvelous —a pink and white punctuated by soft red lips. She had never looked at him directly, but he had felt that she knew he was there. She was a fairly young girl, probably not more than seventeen. That she was yet in high school he knew, for he saw her carrying books in and out in a dainty fashion. "Ed, there's the postman? Run down and get the mail for me," called his aunt from the hack of the flat. Ed felt annoyed at her use of the third person. It made him seem such a kid. Couldn't won?? e.er realize that a fellow was a in by the time he was -working erd er^rirg a liv ing? He rose and moved towaid the front door. There was another little tinkle of the bell as he opened the front door and looking down he saw a girl's figure wrapped in a dressing gown of blue velvet ahead of him. He was about to step back and wait citil she had returned to her apart ment, but the postman's call, "Reg istered letter to sign for," made him continue his descent. He saw now by the golden hair that it was the girl from upstairs who wore the blue gown. She was trail ing down slowly. Her mother's voice from above came: "Belle, was that the post?" Belle! What a wonderful name! flow fitting Ed bad had enough French in the Remington high school to recall that Belle translates into the English word pretty. He ambled downstairs a little quicker. The idea flashed into his mind that Belle was a far more attractive name than was Anna. "There's two cents due on this let ter, miss," said the postman, with bis eyes on the pile of letters in his hand "Well, by gosh!" came the high voice of the girl, who seemed to be angry from her tone, "why didn't you say so before I leaped 'way down liere?" Ed grinned as be thought of the languorous descent which she char acterized as "leaping." Small towns might be slow, but—Belle bad turned to go back for the required two cents. Her front hair was done up in some remarkable way in metal wavers. Cold cream bad been lavishly smeared on her face and still lay there wait ing to be rubbed or washed off. No vestige of color marked her face, neither the lips, which were a mere pale pink in color, nor the cheeks, which were undeniably white. "Guess I'll go back tonight," he said to his aunt as he handed her the mail. "Well, just as you like," said his aunt. "Belle, stop in when you're dressed. I want you to meet my nephew." She dropped her voice as the door closed. "Site's such a pret ty girl," She said to Ed. Ed looked at her sharply, but there was no smile on her lips. She had seen only the back of Belle. And then Ed grinned.

Old English Possession Nassau, New province, Bahama Is lands, was founded by the English in the Seventeenth century. It was de stroyed by the French and Spanish in 1703 and rebuilt In 1718. It is still an English possession. Balloon's Height Limited There is a limit to the height to which a balloon can ascend. The bal loon rises because of the buoyancy of the air, and as the distance from the earth increases the atmosphere be comes more and more rarefied. Favor Was Appreciated They say coui tosy is a dying amen ity. On the of er hand, a gabby gen tleman in Kansas City recently con cluded an unusually long conversation :as follows: "Thanks for listening." School's Long History The oldest boarding school in Eng land is considered to be St. Peter's school, York, which was founded in 627 and became a boarding school un der Albeit the Wise about 740. Even Wiser Samuel Johnson said to himself that he knew almost as much at six teen as he did at fifty-three; but he Ididn't claim to have understood all he I knew as well. Nature's Refreshing For my part, I often take my troubles ! into the woods —and leave them there. , Engorging, I have a sense that nature has pillaged me of a lot of useless luggage, not the least part of which is :one's natural but wearisome self-es teem. . .. Into the heart may come a hush a little stiller than the silence of the forest, a music deeper than that of the sea in the yellow" pines.—Archi bald Rutledge, in "Children of Swamp iand Wood." I Famous Natural Bridge The Rainbow bridge is located with in the Navajo Indian reservation, in San Juan county, Utah. The bridge is 309 f^et above the water and its ;span is 279 feet. The bridge is unique among the natural bridges of the I world in that it is not only a symmet rical arch below, but presents a curved surface above, thus having the ap pearance of a rainbow. Following a Swallow A French farmer who had fed a swallow repeatedly attached a note to the bird requesting any who found it to do likewise and grant the bird its liberty. After six months the bird came back with a note sent by a boy living in Martinique, one of the West Indies, showing that the swallow had flown twice across the Atlantic. — Health Culture. Plenty of Salt It's too bad other things are not as plentiful as salt. If all the salt mines give out here is still to be had out of the sea waves about a quarter of a pound of salt from every gallon. In cubic miles of salt this amounts to the generously expanded figure of 4,419,- 300. Let the hens lay. We'll always have flic seasoning for the eggs. PAN AMERICA honored ^e m tj of the luce Gen. 'TOllij C. noh gas last week on ibe seventy-fourth anniversary of his birth. In the cap Itais of 21 American republics' the av& nucsand boulevards were gay with flowers and flags, and in Washington there was a great banquet at which the principal guests were diplomatic representatives of these republics. The scientific board of the Gorgas Memorial Institute was busy through out the week arranging for the estab lishment of the Gorgas Memorial lab oratory in Panama for the study of tropical diseases, which was created by congress. The congressional act grants an annuity of $50,000 for its maintenance, and the other 20 Ameri can republics together provide $37,500 annually. The laboratory will be a lasting monument to the man whose work in disease control brought him honors from many governments and made possible the building of the Pan ama canal. I? 011 two hundred years the Ancient 1 and Honorable Artillery Company of Massachusetts has gathered annual ly for a feast at which the members drank In port wine the health of the king of England and, since the Revo lution, of the President of the United .States. This year the company' held Its banquet In Toronto, and persuaded Sir Henry Drayton, liquor commis sioner, to lift Ontario's liquor restric tions so they could continue their old custom. . But Premier Ferguson heard of It and countermanded the order. Said he: "They'll have to drink the king's health In water. I am not al lowed to have wines at my banquets." So the Ancient and Honorables drank the toasts In soda water, with many a wry face. And their friends back home had a good laugh. TWO new air mall routes from Chi cago were opened last week. Oue is to Mexico City byway of Kansag City, Dallas and Laredo. The gth^is to Montreal via Cleveland and New York city. Service started simultane ously from both ends of the routes and will be dally. Commercial and municipal ac tivities in the city of Lodz, Po land, were brought to a standstill by a general strike enforced in behalf of striking textile workers. City em ployees were forced to quit work, street cars and taxis were stopped, theaters were closed, qnd even the members of the municipal council, most of them Socialists, closed their desks. Printers were out only a few hours, and soldiers kept the telephone iexchanges open. Street riots pro voked by Communist agitators were numerous, and later the strike spread to other cities. PREMIER MUSSOLINI of Italy In a radio /. ess informed the farmers of th < untry that he intend ed hencefor: , devote the major re construction courts of Fascism to ag riculture and that the government would place billions of lire at their disposal. Thousands of acres that have lain idle since the days of the old Romans are to be brought under cultivation, and Irrigation and refor estation are to receive much atten tion. The duce then distributed about $85,000 in prizes to grain growers. Already Italy is growing almost enough wheat to support its popula tion. For the first time since the Italian kingdom was established in 1870 a death sentence for murder was passed and executed the other day in Rome. Capital punishment for certain de grees of murder was introduced in the new Fascist code, and Michele Maggiora, who murdered two Fascists for political reasons only, was the first victim. I. Following Jesus (Jolin 1:40). As a result of the testimony of John the Baptist, that Jesus was the Lpmb of God (v. 36), Andrew followed Jesus. The proof that he really believed is that he followed Christ. This is the first essential in the Christian life. 11. Leading Others to Christ (v. 41). As soon as Andrew had found and become acquainted with Christ, he brought his brother Peter to Christ. Christian growth can only be truly realized in the giving of oneself to the winning of souls. The one who has received the gospel, the good news, cannot help but proclaim it. 111. Confessing Jesus as the Mes siah, the Son of God (Matt. 16:15-18). The disciples had been with the Lord for several years. They had heard His wonderful words and seen ills mighty works. Various opinions were extant about Him. It was now necessary for them to have a definite I conception of Him. Examination came after the period of school life. As the Master Teacher, Jesus knew what it meant to the disciples to have a right conception of Himself. He knew the trying ordeal through which they would be called upon to pass as the time of his crucifixion drew near. Only as they perceived His deity would they be strung In the hour of trial. Id answer to Jesus' pointed, personal question, Peter confessed to the absolute deity and Messiahship of Jesus. This conception of Christ Is essential to salvation (John 20:31). No one lacking it will ever be In terested in the winning of souls. Be sides, the denial of His deity is the supreme lie (1 John 2:22). 1. What Peter confess^ (v. 16). "Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God." It therefore involved Ills Messialiship and deity. This Is the burning question of today. Those who have the right conception of Christ's person and mission have no trouble in the realm of science, phi losophy or ethics. 2. Christ's commendation (v. 17). He pronounced him blessed. The evidence that Peter was blessed was that he was In spiritual' touch with the heavenly Father. His conception of Christ was not revealed by flesh aim blood. 3. Peter's blessing (v. 18). Christ declared that he should be come a foundation stone in His church. Christ Himself is the chief cornerstone on which the church Is built. Christ's person and Messiah ship were confessed by Peter, and on this rock is laid the foundation of apostles and prophets (Eph. 2:20). All believers are living stones of this house (1 Peter 2:5). IV. Peter's Restoration (John 21:15- 19). Peter grievously sinned In denying the Lord, but he made confession, shedding bitter tears over his sin and folly. The Lord tenderly dealt with His erring disciple and restored him In his restoration. Jesus brought to Peter's mind the essential qualifica tion for his ministry. Love IsMhe pre eminent gift for Christian service. To impress upon his mind this fact He three times asked the question, "Lovest thou me?" He not only asked the question tlrree times to show the su preme qualification for service to Him, but to show that there are three classes of persons demanding Ills service, and that these classes need special care as well as food adapted to their state. I. Those beginning the Christian life, babes in Christ, "Feed my lambs." The word "feed' 'means more than In struction. It applies to the surround Ings, influences and examples. 2. The mature ones, "Feed my sheep." This seems to mean "shepherd my sheep." The mature class of believers not only need food, but discipline. They need correction and guidance. 3. The aged Christians, "Feed My Sheep." The word "feed" here Is much the Q^e us in the first case. This is a service greatly needed today. In many places the old people are greatly neg lected All provision Is made for the young people. Love is the supreme need in service to the old folks.

Slate, state audi tor. Hal Stanley Speaks Atlanta, Ga. —The south has today just as many great editors as at any period in the past, though the superi or vantage from which they are viewed by the public makes their stature less conspicuous, Hal M. Stanley, state commissioner of commerce and la bor, and secretary of the Georgia Press association, told the Atlanta Masonic club recently. Mr. Stanley reviewed briefly the history of the state press associatiq,, and called upon the business and pro fessional men represented in the club to join forces with the editors in their efforts to upbuild the state.
