Lesson for November 7: Exodus 20:13; Matthew 5:21-26. 38-45. Golden Text: I John 3:15. Beginning with the curse upon Cain and expressed in the law a- gainst murder, the Bible through out teaches the sacredness of human life by its commands a- gainst taking life. Murder is gen erally regarded as the worst of aP transgressions, for it ends an .e&ithly career, and makes it im possible for a murderer to make restitution. Jesus, ever concerned to eradi cate sin at the source in the heart, warns against the hatred that may bring a man into dan ger of the judgment, apd counsels a man to seek reconciliation with his brother. Further, he teaches men to ov ercome evil with good. This is not non-resistance, but resistance of wrong with good. To meet wrong with wrong is to perpetu ate and increase it, as the sad history of the world proves. So Jesus bids men to love even their enemies. To love one’s enemies is re quired that one may be the son of the Father in heaven. To be a good son, a man must be a good brother to all his fellows, who are sons of God and his brotlgRfs. . '•»? v* * Thb” great question ^s, How can m^n love instead of hate, how csyi they fttjatp unip love, how can they^ obey all tfee teachings of Jesus? Only by faith in the Great Teacher—not first as the Great Teacher but as the Saviour of men. And. manifestly the supreme v '.2ed Oi thf sorj world ,r j V.. spread oi the . e. of love.

How they destroy timber, which is a critical war material, and feed (or cattle and sheep. How they rob us of precious man-hours—nearly eight million every year. How they cripple supplies of water that are vital for electric power and irrigation. "So what?" you ask, "What can I do?" ' YOU can do more than anyone else < because it's folks like you—good, honest, i fighting American citizens—who start' the most forest and range fires. » Sounds incredible, doesn't it? J But here are the facts: Careless Americans i last year started more forest fires than light- 1 ning, saboteurs, and incendiaries put to- , gether. j We can't let it happen again this year. ; So when we are in or near forests, farm wood lands, brush,'and grass—remember: WE are the key men and women in this fight to pro tect the home front, and we mustn*t let Our Carelessness be the Enemy’s Secret Weapon. ATTENTION, BRUSH BURNERS! More thaif 6 million acres are burned, yearly, because of YOUR careless use of fire in clearing plow land and burning log ging and other slash and debris. Do your part this year. Remember: 1. Don’t bum without a permit from a ranger or fire warden. S. Don't bum during unusually hot, dry, or windy weather. 3. Scrape a trail or "plow around areas to be burned. 4. Have help handy till the last spark is dead. REMEMBER THESE RULES: Crush out your smoko Drown your campfire — then bury It V4 A Break your burned match IF YOU BURN SLASH First—get a permit Last — kill every spark PREVENT FOREST FIRES CURGNtELESSNESS Their Seoet Weapon Sponsored By M.
