Golden Text. â€" It is good not to •at.ilfsh, nor to drink wine, nor to do; anything whereby thy bro- ther stumbleth. Rom. 14:21. THE- LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time. â€" Amos prophesied be- tween 811 and 784 B.C. Xm'os was a shepherd and fruit farmer of Tekoa; a small village six miles south of Bethlehem. Amos was sent to denounce Is- ratfl's wickedness, and he went di- rectly to Bethel, which was the chief cgnter of Israel's idolatrous practices. He preached that God Was a just and righteous God, who would punish the sins of every na- tion and individual in his good time, a fact that finds small re- cognition in modern statecraft and the average life. 1. Woe to them that are at ease in Zion. And to them that are secure in the mountain of Samar- ia, the notable men of the chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come! 2. Pass ye unto Galneh, and see. And from thence go ye to Hamath the great. Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms? or is their border greater than your border? If cities until recently so flourish- ing, so far from being now "bet- ter or more prosperous than Is- rael and Judah, have been over- taken by disaster, let Israel take wa-ning betimes, and not rely too implicitly that its p. esent ^ood fc/i-'ane will contir.ao to atteni il. Fallen GreAiness 3. Ye that put fi\r away the evil <2ay. These people did aot wniil to think of a time coming wheii their sins would De punished, ihdu£'h down deep in thcnr leavt? they knew such a cisy must ulti- routely arrive. And cause the scat of violence to come near. 4. That lie upon beds of ivory. Amos now proceeds to enumerate some of the vices which every one knew so tragically flourished in Is- rael, flourished even though she had the law in her hands and sac- rificed daily to the God of holi- ness. And stretch themselves up- on their couches. The custom of reclining at the table is first men- tioned here. And eat the lambs out of the flock. This form of meat would no doubt be a special delicacy with the Israelites. And the calves out of the midst of the stall. The place where they were tied up to be fatted; tfley were stall-fed. 5. That sing idle songs to the sound of the viol. That in- vent for themselves instruments •f music, like David. 6. That drink wine m bowls. And anoint themselves with the chief oils, i.e., oils of the best kind. As a rule, fresh olive oil was used for anointing the bodies. But they are not grieved for the affliction of Joseph. They were not sick at heart, as noble and generous natures would have been at the misery that awaits their country. Put Amos into modern English, and he is denouncing the heartlessness of wealth, refine- ment, art, and culture, which ha» no car for the complaining of the poor, and no eyes to see either th^ sorrows or sins around it, or the lowering cloud that is ready to burst in tempest. Reason for Abstinence Four reasons for abstaining from fleshly sins, I Peter 2:11, 12; 4:1. 11. Beloved, I beseech you as sojourners and pilgrims. To abstain from fleshly lusts. Travel- lers in a strange land, yet more in the land of enemies, do not care commonly to adopt all its cus- toms. They retain their nation- alijj-. The phrase "fleshly lusts" takes in all desires that originate in man's nature, as well as those directly connected with the appe- tites of the body. Lust is appetite run wild. There is no harm in any natural appetite considered in it- self. Which war against the soul. The soul here stands as the en- tire spiritual nature of man. 12. Having your behavior seem- ly among the Gentiles; that, wherein they speak against you as evjj-doers. Even in the earliest days of the Christian church fol- lowers of Christ were often ac- cused of the foulest crimes with great injustice and without a shred of evidence. They may be your gooc, works, which they behold, glorify God in the day of visita- tion. I Peter 4:1. Forasmuch then ae Christ suffered in the flesh, arm ye yourselves also with the same Sind ; for he that hath suffered in e flesh hath ceased from sin. Seek ye first the kingdom of God •nd his rightousness. That was e mind of the Master. He sought 8 gratifications in th( eternal. The flesh may have its desires; kut the cleansed heart will refuse Id yield to them. Germany's Former Territories In the Pacific IMCHOW UHJjJj JABAN ., r. I / Uceafi MAftlANC M.

World-wide attention being focussed on Hitler's demand for Germany's "lost" colonies, we take a look at a map of the Pacific. Here pre-war Germany held German New Guinea, the Bismarck and Solomon Islands. West Samoa, Nauru and scattered islands of the Marshall, Caroline and Marianne groups. Of these Nauru was the most important. It contains a mine of high-grade phosphate which has been developed under mandate. Great Wealth Of Copper, Iron, Tin Is To Be Found In The North West Territories â€" Province of Alberta Wishes to Extend Northward. Iron, copper and some tin have been found in commercial quanti- ties in the region ot Great Bear Lake, Hon. W. A. Fallow, Alberta Minister ot Public Works, announc- ed last week at the Alberta Social Credit League annual convention. Mr, Fallow made the announce- ment after a discussion of efforts by Premier Aberhart to have Al- berta's northern boundary extended northward to the Arctic ocean. Se- curing of the area and their min- erals would bring Alberta every- thing necessary for establishment of metal industries, he said. "Extension of Alberta's boundar- ies to include these new sources ot great wealth is reasonable because the outlets from these uiining areas lie through Albertaâ€" either by way ot Athabaska route to Edmonton, or, eventually, by the Hay river route through Peace River and Grande Prairie. Nations in 1937, based on an index ot 100 as of 1929, showing Canada's comparative position in housing thus: South Africa, 279, Great Brit- ain 157, Australia 88, New Zealand 84, United States 56, France 46, Canada 38. "While South Africa was build- ing 279 homes in 1937 to 100 in 1929, Canada in 1933 was building 38 homes to 100 in 1929," he con- tinued. "There are unlimited pos- sibilities for prosperity wrapped up in the construction ot between 100,000 and 200,000 homes across Canada. Taking the average cost of a home at $4,000 and the mini- mum figure at 100,000 houses, we would have an expenditure to bal- ance our economic necessities of 1400,000,000," he said. A reasonable hope now appears of saving the spruce forests from destruction by the European spruce sawfly, the woodlands section ot the Canadian Pulp and Paper As- sociation was told at its convention In Montreal last week. Since it was first discovered In 1930 the Insect has damaged thous- ands of square miles of spruce for- est In Eastern Canada each year. Parasites to Combat It "The only hope of a permanent check to the outbreak still seems to lie in the estaiblishment of ef- fective parasites," said R. E. Blach ot the Dominion Entomological Laboratory at Froderictou. Several parasites have shown ability to combat the sawfly but study must be made tor several years before reliable information is gained of their ability, he said. ''The situation is much more en- couraging than It was two years ago," said A. B. Balrd of the Do- minion parasite laboratory at Belleville, Ont., who told ot para- sitic work done in Canada, Brit- ain, United States and Europe. "With the continued co-operation ot all interested parties there ap- pears to be reasonable hope ot sav- ing the spruce forests from destruc- tion by this Insect." Home Scarcity Growing Acute There's a Housing Shortage In Canada of Between 100,000 to 200,000 Dwellings, Says Architect. With Canada at the bottom ot the list in construction in com- parison with six other countries and an acute housing shortage ot between 100,000 and 200,000 homes existing, there are unlimited possi- bilities for a return to prosperity by accelerating construction, C. A. Fowler, prominent architect ot Halifax, N.S., declared last week. Referring to Canada's status in construction work in comparison with other countries, he cited fig- ures prepared by the League ot I Peter 4:2, 3. 2. That ye no longer should live the rest of your time in the flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God. The more continually we submit to the will of God, the less powerful will be the fascination of the things of the flesh. 3. For the time past may suffice to have wrought the desn-e of the Gentiles. He pleads here with the desire of the Gentiles. He pleads here with his readers to recognize the fact that they have wasted enough of their lives in fleshy indulgences. And to have walked in lasciviousness. Lusts, winebibbings. Revellings. And abominable idolatries. 4. Wherein they think it strange that ye run not with them into the same excess of riot, speaking evil of you. Every Christian who is really striving to live a godly life has experienced the laughter and ridicule anc' mockery of the ungodly world. 5. Who shall give account to him that is ready to judge the liv- ing and the dead. Gossips Will Be Thrown Into Jail Bores will be eliminated from Papua, New Guinea, if the na- tives can carry out their plans. They want to do it legally if pos- sible, but "natives are not infre- quently done to death by a mad- dened listener because they talk too much," declares the Lieuten- ant-Governor of Papua, in his an- nual report. The village councillors at Abau have proposed a new law provid- ing that "if two or more women are found gossiping together they shall be arrested and put in jail for two months." They said that the existing law against spreading lying reports was not enough be- cause it punished after the "bad talk" had done damage, instead of before. Get First Sight Of Civilization In Fifty Years Next Summer For the First Time In Half a Century Que- bec Nuns Will See the Out- side World. Cloistered, some ot them, for half-a-century, nuns ot the Roman Catholic Church's Ursuline and Au- gustinian orders In Quebec City will see a new and altered world next August when they participate in tercentenary celebrations ot North America's oldest hospital â€" Hotel Dieu. Quebec. Kept within convent confines by their own vows, the nuns will re- ceive a special dispensation for the ancient institution's anniversary, to be observed from Aug. 27 to Sept. 3.

By FREDDIE TEE WHY DOES A CHICKENâ€"? Six hundred variations of the old chicken gag lurk in the extensive repertoire ot Al Bernard, one ot the few remaining minstrels, who Is heard with his merry men on the Columbia network every Friday af- ternoon, (WABC-CBS, 4:45 to 5:00 p.m., EST). Steeped in the tradi- tions ot his birth- place, New Or- leans, Bernard has written more than 350 songs in the minstrel vein and unearthed many original folk tunes from their sources. His outstanding suc- cess was the re- cording ot ,"St. Louia Blues" in 1919, with more than 20,000,000 copies of the disc sold since his first rendition. â€" â€" IF AT FIRST It you cherish the job of being a radio actor, don't let the first set- back throw you. Karl Swenson, who plays the title role In the popu- lar Lorenzo Jones series on NBC, gave his first radio audition in 1929 Al Bernard â€" and was accepted tor his first im- portant role five years later. â€" â€" FRANCHOT TONE Franchot Tone, the popular movie and stage star who currently is appearing in the Broadway produc- tion, "The Gentle People", was a guest star of the Kate Smith Var- iety Hour over the Columbia net- work on Thurs- day, February 9 (WABC-CBS, 8.00 to 9.00 p.m., E.S.
