A \ MOSES AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS M, ses was a Jew, the great grandson of Levi, the great • g: at gran 1st n of Jacob, who was the first Isiachte, and the it-great-great-great grandson of Abraham, who was the first Hebrew. In China they boast of pedigrees thirty centuries long; the cnlv people that can show anything equal to this are the Jews. The proud Jew of this day can look down with contempt upon the Hohenzollems, the Romanoffs and the Guelphs of Europe, “whose blood has crept through scoundrels since the Pood.” But to the Egyptians Moses was a slave's son. he was to them as a black baby, born in a Louisianaj?luve-:.uc, • would have been to the Southern aristocracy in lo50. Time has a grim humor. The monarchs of Egypt are todav only known as contemporaries of Moses. Ihe Czar oi. Russia will be known as the contemporary of Tolstoy. Moses goes up into smoking Sinai and has a conversation with the thunder ami lightning. What did they say to h:m. He shows us when he comes down. There on a stone slao are graven the Ten Commandments. Whether he really spoke with God, or whether he had a hvpnotic Pt up there in the tr.unoe* stonn, the tact *emaius that in some way he get hold of the toughest, most everlast ing and fireproof bundle of truths ary son of man ever found. The Ten Commandments are the most important words in historv. They were given by Moses to^the Jews, out they have been generally accepted throughout p.bris«.eudori as Lu ‘ foundation of all law and morals. Thev are the basis of society in the civilized world.

Reid VACATION RANGE' > I International Sunday School Lesson for September 23 *, thr CHRISTIAN BASIS FOR TOTAL ABSTINENCE i' 1 Corinthians 8:1-13 v By Rev. Samuel D. Price, DJX The quarterly temperance lesson has been a feature of the Inter nal anal Uniform series for many years. Its introduction in the i Sunday-school was followed by the scientific temperance instruction in the prrMir schools in the various states of the Union. The general , purpose is to teach the basic fact that alcohol is a poison and the effect such a poison has on the individual and society. The whole subject is a live one today, not only in America but throughout , the warid. In the United States the study is especially pertinent as the wet and dry issue has such a prominent place m the coming presidential election. 1 A moral issue is much more than an individual matter. Every one exerts a far reaching influence, both conscious and unconscious. Paul had a in hand when he wrote to the Corinthians from 1 Ephesus, during his third missionary journey. Idol worship prevailed nnd any religion involves, a sacrifice of one kind or another. Animals i were slain to propitiate the various gods, and there were many of these so-c&Ue deity*, The priests of the various cults could eat only i a very small portion of the meat resulting from such slaughter. Both ! the economic and natural thing to do was to offer the meat for gak, far there was nothing the matter with it from the standpoint I of food. At once a serious and conscientious question was raised in the minds of both Jews and Christians. They must not in any way par 1 fofrg of food which had first been offered to idols. Such food might be on any table where they were a guest. This whole matter was an 1 issue at the Council in Jerusalem and it was mutually agreed between Jew and Gentile Christians that they would abstain from any use of such meats. This same question kept arising as Idle Gospel was taken 1 to any new territory where the identical conditions were local. The case had to be argued through each time and every group convinced I that they mnsi give up things that may have been customary in the old life because of the new implications, though no actual physical harm would result if continued. In eating such food they were surely relating themselves to the worship of idols. The Corinthians were told that the question of personal liberty should not decide the matter. They must face the effect of their actions on others. Doing as they pleased would become a “stumbling block to the weak.” Many will not think things through but will ’ permit the action of another to determine their course. Evory life is an open book, which is read by others and their lives are influenced accordingly. Without raising in any way the question of individual rights Paul reveals how eager he is to always render the utmost help to others. It is easy to imagine the short man standing as upright as possible and declaring as a working principle <rWherefore, if meat causeth my brother to stumble, I will eat no flesh for evermore.” In Paul’s case the meat which had been offered to an idol was as nutritious as any other, but alcohol is always a poison. This is the . decision of science and not the statement cf a mere opinion. ____j THE FUMBLE FAMILY .T^5! i” •'' •• ^ Dunkd since you wave entered yourself- ^ IN THE "MISS SMALL TOWN AMERICA v BEAUT/CONTEST THIS SHOULD INTEREST YOU AUNT EMMIE*. .. .. . ........_________________.___.....________________________j&J&H
