LESSON LOR FEBRUARY 3 WHAT I8RAEL LEARNED AT SINAI LESSON TEXT—Deut. 4:32-40. GOLDEN TEXT—Thou Bhalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, mid with all thy soul, ano with all thy might.—Deut. 6:5. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOP IC—ivnowlng and Obeying God's Law. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOP IC—The Foundation of Israel's Life. Deuteronomy, the hook from which our lesson is taken, means “second law.” It is a second luw In the sense that it is a restatement and interpre tation of the luw given at Sinai, for u new generation in a new country. This new generation needed a true concep tion of God and also an apprehension of the wonderful grace which had selected them and made them a chan nel through which God’s grace would flow to tlie world. I. God’s Unparalleled Goodness to Israel (Deut. 4:32-34). This was shown: 1. By Speaking Audibly Out of the Midst of the Fire (vv. 32, 33). Tills honor conferred upon them was unique. It was unequalled. (1) In past history—“the days that are past since the day that God created man upon the earth.” (2) Anywhere— “from one side of heaven unto the other.” (3) In character—“there hath been no such great thing as this great tiling Is.” (4) In story or rumor— “or hath been heard like It!” (5) In dignity and majesty—“did ever people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the lire.” 2. By His Marvelous Deliverance of Israel From the Egyptian Bondage (v. 34). Here, too, Ills grace is unique. (1) In liberation—“take him a nation from the midst of another nation.” (2) Tn the method employed, (a) By temptations—testings, that Is, plagues, (b) Tty signs and wonders—crossing Bed sen, pillar of cloud, (c) By war (See Exod. 14:4; 16:3-10). (d) By out stretched arm—Divine Interposition, such as opening the Bed sea for Israel and closing it upon the Egyptians, (e) By great terrors—the denth of the first horn. II. The Reason Why the Lord So Dealt With Israel (Deut. 4:36-38). 1. That They Might Know That the Lord Is Unique In the Midst of a World of Idolaters. God’s aim was to establish a nation who would know Illm ns the only God and make this essential and blessed truth known to other nations. 2. That They Might Know His Love for Them (vv. 37, 3N). He loved them for their fathers' sake and through them would make real Ills covenant purpose. ' III. The Obligation of Israel (Deut. 4:30, 40). Tliej were to consider and receive In their heart the thought that the Lord was the alone God. What we think about God is revealed In our lives. The law to which obedience was to ho rendered was that set forth In the Ten Commandments, us record ed In Exodus 2:1 -17. 1. The first emphasizes the unity of God and enjoins the obligation of single-hearted worship and service (v. 3). 2. The second Is directed against the worship of the true God under false forms. 8. The*third is directed against the taking of God’s name in vain; that is, in a lying, deceptive, unreal way. 4. Tlie fourth enjoins work on six days and forbids work on the seventh. 5. Tlie fifth rests upon the fact that parents stand to their children in tlie place of God—therefore enjoins obedience to them. (5. The sixth shows the sanctity of human life and that the one who mur ders lias sinned against God, for man was created In the likeness and linage of God. 7. The seventh Is tlie bulwark thrown around the Home. This com mandment may be broken by unclean thoughts and affections as well as by outward acts. 8. The eighth strikes at the sin of theft. 9. The ninth strikes at the sin of lying. 10. The tenth strikes at the desire for that which Is unlawful to own. BACK OF IT!

Settling South’s Farm People Being Mislead Lands. Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 30.—The sugges tion made recently by the agricultur al agents of the Atlanta, Birming ham and Atlantic railway that the civic clubs of Southern cities gener ally can do a fine work by taking up the problem of finding Southern rural homes for Northern and West ern farmers who are eager to locate where the climate is more genial, has been received in Atlanta and other southern cities with great in terest, and reports received show that steps will soon be ta^en in that direction. There are thousands of acres of fine farming lands in the South cap able of the highest degree of culti vation now lying idle, according to officials of the A. B. and A. “It is just such land as the North ern farmers would wish,” said A. D. Daniel, general passenger agent of the A.» B. and A. system, who has been making a close study of the situation, together with Colonel B. L. Bugg, receiver, and J. L. Edwards, assistant receiver, of the same rail road. The railway officias, who have con ferred with leading agriculturists, point out that there is room in the South for many good farmers from other parts of the country. Commissioner of Agriculture, J. J. Brown, of Georgia, says diversified agriculture is being developed in the South as never before, and the North ern and Western farmer, already ac quainted with the benefits to he de rived from diversification, would be able to prosper greatly under South ern climatic conditions and with the rich soil awaiting only their energetic cultivation. On Tax Reduction. ATLANTA AND WEST POINT RAILWAY COMPANY THE WESTERN RAILWAY OF ALABAMA GEORGIA RAILROAD Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 31.—Republican statements are misleading the people on tax reduction, says U. S. Senator W. J. Harris, of Georgia, in a state ment made public in Atlanta. Many business men in Atanta think the Democratic plan offers a more equi table adjustment and reduction for all taxpayers. “The Mellon tax plan ha:s been seized by the Republicans with the idea of making the country think the only way to get tax reduction is by accepting the Mellon plan without dotting an ‘i’ or crossing a ‘t’. Such a movement is purely political and in an effort to show that all who do not swallow the Mellon plan as a whole are opposed to tax reduction. ■I favor a reducton of taxes and I ex pect to support a bill which will ma terially reduce taxes on the farmer and the small wage earner, whose lvelihood comes from personal work instead of stocks and investments as unearned incomes. I offered that amendment n 1921 in the Senate and the Republicans defeated it. Scre- tary Mellon has made it a part of his plan now. ‘‘I beieve the record will show that everything good in the Mellon plan would have been enacted two years ago but for the opposition of the Republicans, but I will not vote for tax rates which make a greater re duction in proportion to the incomes of the rich than on incomes from the small man and woman, and the Mel lon plan proposes to help the people with larger incomes more than those with low wages and salaries.” An Open Gate.
