' SUBSCRIPTION RATES: One Year $1.00 8ix Months .75 Three Months .50 Sunday School Lesson BY REY. CHARLES E. DUNN God Gives Laws To a Nation. Lesson for August 15th. Exodus 20:1-17 Golden Text: Matt. 22:37, 39. It is a pity that the legal litera ture of the Old Testament is gen erally ignored by Christians. The tendency has been to exalt the prophets and, by contrast, to rele gate the law-givers to such an in ferior position that they almost drop out of sight. Such an exag gerated emphasis on the impor tance of prophecy is misleading for it leads to the false assumption that the laws of Israel are in op position to its prophetic oracles. As a matter of fact law and prophecy belong together as dif ferent versions of the same divine revelation, it is well for us then to study the Hebrew laws with sympathetic appreciation, for they have much to teach us today. Un fortunately our Bible, in its stand ard versions, presents them in a confused, unsystematic form, and the reader is bewildered to find that many of the laws contradict one another. Hut if the student will consult Prof. Kent’s translation and arrangement of the Old Testa ment in “The Shorter Bible,” he will find an admirable compilation of the statutes dealing with such topics as property rights, kindness to men and animals, the duty of parents to-instruct their children, and the need of upright dealing in business transactions. *”Our lesson is the famous Deca logue, the most significant and memorable formulation of Jewish legislation. According tp Hebrew tradition Moses was its author along with all the rest of the laws in the Pentateuch. We now know that this elaborate body of legisla tion represents a long historical development and so could not, in its present form, be the creation of Moses. But it can at least be said that the fundamental prin ciples and his insistence upon the exclusive worship of God as Israel’s only deity, and on loyal obedience to His Will furnished the two cor nerstones upon which the Bible’s impressive Temple of Law* was built. Says Guard Against Screw Worm Danger Clemson, Aug. 7.—The true screw worm was found in South Caro lina July 28 at Coosawhatchie and in Berkeley county by representa tives of the Bureau of Entomology and Plant Quarantine. This is the first specimen to be found in South Carolina during the present year, though limited numbers occur across the Savannah river in Geor gia. “This finding is made public as a reminder to livestock owners that every effort should be made to reduce cuts on animals at this season of the year and to apply pine tar oil to every injury found”, says W. C. Nettles, extension en- tomokngist. “In the screw worm territory pine tar oil and benzol have been widely stocked by drug stores. County farm agents will gladly demonstrate the use of these ma terials to any group of farmers wishing the Information”, Mr. Net tles states. “This announcement and sug gestions are of particular impor tance to livestock owners in the Coaital Plains area where screw worm injury would naturally be heaviest in an outbreak.” ■w 0 every way with a <> 5> e on First Cost e on Gas and Oil e on Upkeep a » « CHEVROLET MOTOR DIVISION, General Motors Sales Corporation, DETROIT, MICHIGAN General Motors Installment Plan— monthly payments to suit your purse.
