Subscription, s].so per year. Entered at the Post Office in' Perry, Ga., as Mail Matter of Second Class. QUICK CHANGE A doctor tells me of a man going up for his medical who told the j doctor his eyesight was so bad he I couldn’t even see the board. That night he celebrated by going to the cinema. When the lights went up he discovered, to his horror, that he was sitting next to the doctor. And, quite obviously, the doctor rec ognized him. "Excuse me, sir,” he said quick ly, "can you tell me if this bus goes to Chicago?” Brigand All the guests except one had left the dining room, and he was busy emptying his pockets of the spoons. The host returned to the room sud denly and found his guest there. "So that’s your game!” he ex claimed. "What have you to say for yourself?” “I can assure you it was all a mis take,” replied the guest, soothingly. "A mistake?” "Yes,” explained the guest. "I thought they were real silver.” SURELY NOT "I have a friend who is crazy over golf.” “Yes? And might I ask what drove you that way?” Contact Striving to point out to one of his flock the error of his ways, the vicar said; “You know that a man is known by the company he keeps?” “Is that so?” was the unrepentant reply. "What I’d like to know is if a good man, like me, for instance, keeps company with a bad man, is i the good man bad or the bad man I good?” She Hopes The wife had been put on the budget plan. At the end of each month she and her husband would go over the accounts together. Ev ery once in a while ho would find an item, "H.0.K., $3.75,” and a little farther on. "H.0.K., $15.” Finally he asked: “My dour, what is this—‘ll.O K.’?” "Heaven only knows,” she re plied. Weighty Mrs. Dinocan—l wonder if you would be so kind as to weigh this package for me? Butcher—Why, certainly; it weighs exactly three and a quarter pounds. Mrs. Dinocan—Thank you; it con tains the bones you sent me in that four-pound roast yesterday. Contagious • Dinocan—Do you believe there are microbes in kisses? Harriet—Yes. That’s what the sci entists say. Dinocan—What disease do they cause? Harriet—Palpitation of the heart, 1 believe. Driver “My daughter has a queer way of getting her own back on the tele- | phone people.” “What’s her method?" “She uses my car to knock down their poles.” UNVARNISHED TRUTH . Teacher—Tommy, can you name the chief product of the European countries? Tommy—Ycs’m. Trouble, and plenty of it at the present time. Elsewhere Willie (whose father is a telephone engineer)—Mother, do they have telephones in heaven? Mother—No, dear. It requires en gineers to build telephone lines. ; Passes “Yes,” said the stage manager, “we did have an opening in the chorus, but you’re too late.” “Too late?” "Yes—about ten years.” I IMPROVED uJlll jj;il UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY I chool Lesson By HAROLD L LUNDQUIST, D. D. Of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Releueed by Wf»ltrn Newspaper Union.) Lesson for July 19 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by International Council of Religious Education; used by | permission. CAIN AND ABEL: A CONTRAST LESSON TEXT—Genesis 4:1-15. GOLDEN TEXT—By faith Abel offered • unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that h* j was righteous.—Hebrews 11:4. The weed of sin is fast growing, j and brings forth bitter fruit. The 1 disobedience of Adam and Eve re- I suited in their being put forth from j the garden, but that judgment did not terminate the awful plague of I sin. We see it in this lesson showing j forth in their son, as it has in all I the sons of Adam down through the I centuries. It is a dark picture and one which would discourage us did we not know that redemption has been wrought out by “the second man, the Lord from heaven” (I Cor. 15: 47). We have here two sons of Adam with their differing personalities, a clash and the first murder, and then one man, a vagabond on the face of the earth. I. Two Sons (vv. 1-7). The birth of a child is always an exciting occasion, and one can read ily imagine what it must have meant when the first boy ever to be born put in his appearance. What joy, what concern for his welfare, what plans for the future! And then, what disappointment and sorrow! But before speaking of that, let us observe how he and his brother differed in their interests and per sonalities, It is a surprising thing how completely different two sons in the same family can be. Abel chose the work of a shep herd, much honored in the early history of man. Cain became a till er of the soil, which with the pas j sage of time has come to be more important than the other. They also had a different view point on worship. Cain was a re ligious man. He apparent!}' was the first to worship, but he came in the spirit of one who recognized God only as his Creator, the One worthy of his homage. Abel came also with a gift, but his attitude was quite different. His offering spoke of sac rifice, the need of a covering for sin (cf. Gen. 3:21), It was more than homage, it was a plea for forgive ness. The Lord’s acceptance of Abel’s sacrifice made Cain angry (v. 6). Here again he differed from Abel, for there was no angry response on his part. Abel had recognized God’s desire in worship. Cain not only I failed to do so, but rejected God’s | instruction and His plea (vv. 6,7). Jealousy led to anger, and anger (as it so often does) led to 11. Murder (vv. 8,9). Instead of repentance and correc tion, the anger of Cain carried him to the awful conclusion of hatred, the taking of life. We tend to think of murder as a crime which only a desperately wicked man would com mit. We hardly think of the "re spectable” little sin of envy as be ing the root of murder, but it is, often and sometimes very quickly. Actually there is no little sin, for it is (he genius of sin to grow, to increase, to go step by step, yes, often by leaps and bounds, to its horrible fruition. “The heart is de ceitful above all things, and desper ately wicked: who can know it?” (Jer. 17:9). Why trust it? The deceitfulness of Cain’s heart is shown by the callous evasiveness of his reply to God concerning his ! murdered brother. His sin brought God’s question. It always does. Do not assume that you can hide from Him. It has been suggested that committing sin is like touching a burglar alarm—the bell rings, and one must answer for his act. “Am I my brother’s keeper?” is the perfect expression of (he selfish i and indifferent attitude of the world. Human beings are regarded as simply those to be exploited, beings upon whom they may prey. For i example: Just to make money, men j are willing to destroy a fellow man j with intoxicating liquor, or break ! down his decency and morality by j selling him indecent books or maga- I ! zines. Murder having taken one of the j i two sons, we find that the remain- | ing one is just 111. A Vagabond (vv. 10-15). Judgment lor sin made Cain a wanderer and a fugitive. Never j would he be able to get away from j the cry of his brother's blood (v. I i 10). No wonder he said he could not bear it. But notice that his cry was not one of repentance or contrition, : but only of feat, of retribution. So God shows mercy, forbidding ] | the judgment of men upon Cain, j Vengeance belongs to God, and in this first murder He reserved judg- | ment to Himself, Later He put upon I man the responsibility of judging | and punishing murder by death (Gen. 9:6), but here He put His pro- I tecting hand on Cain. Yet, to be a fugitive, with no real ! | abiding place on earth, and every ! man’s hand against him, was in- i deed a heavy punishment. One | could have wished that it bad j j brought repentance, but it did not. j j May none of us go the way of Cain, I I -- SALE UNDER POWER CON TAINED IN DEED TO SE CURE DEBT. 1 GEORGIA, —Houaton County; Under and by virtue of the power of sale contained in a deed 10 secure debt from George H.
