CUNPAY SCHOOL LESSON times when we deliberately went straight against the will of God and LESSON, VI. GOD FEEDS A PEOPLE (Exodus 16: 1--17: 7.) Printed Text: Exodus 16: 11-20; 17: 3-6. GOLDEN TEXT--Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father. James 1: 17. The Lesson In Its Setting' ' Place--The wildernes of Sin was located on the eastern side of the Red Sea on the way to Mount Sinai, Rephidim was probably located on the long Wady Ferian in the peninsula of Sinai. Time--R.C. 1498. "And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying, I have heard the murmurings of the children of Israel: speak unto them, saying, At even ye shall eat flesh, and in the morning ye shall be filled with bread; and ye shall know that 1 am Jehovah your God."--It is quite significant that whenever God works a miracle among his own people or before the nations of the ■earth, he does it that they might know him. This is a phrase which occurs occurs especially throughout the book of Ezekiel. It is quite similar to the one used of our Lord in the performing performing of some of the miracles mentioned mentioned in the New Testament--he there "manifested forth his glory." "And it came to pass at even, that the quails came up, and covered the camp; and in the morning the dew lay round about the camp," -- this is the only place in the entire hook of Exodus where the word "quails" appears. (See also Num.- 11: 31,'32; Psa., 105: 40.) "Quails belong to the partridge family. They are migratory birds and in March and April come up from Arabia and other southern countries, and cross the Mediterranean Sea in vast numbers; numbers; and return southwards from Europe in even more enormous flights towards the end of September, They always fly with, the wind, When they alight, which they generally do at night, they cover the ground; and being usually exhausted can be captured captured by hand in great numbers." "And when the dew that lay was gone up, behold, upon the face of the wilderness a small round thing, small as thé hoar-frost on the ground. And when the children of Israel saw it, they said one to another, What is it? for they knew not what it was. And Moses said unto them, It is the bread which Jehovah hath given you to eat. "This is the thing which Jehovah hath commanded. Gather ye of it every man, according to his eating; an omer a head, according to the number of your persons, shall ye take it, every man for them that are in his tent. And the children of Israel Israel did so, and gathered some more, some less."--One omer was equivalent equivalent to about three quarts and one- fifth of a pint. Ten omers made one ephah. "And when they measured it with an omer, he that gathered much had nothing over, and he that gathered little had no lack; they gathered every man according to his eating." -- In 2 Cor. §: 15, St. Paul adopts words from this verse in begging the Corinthians to be liberal in their alms-giving for the poor Christians in Jerusalem. He tells his readers that he has no wish that they should have distress, in order that others should have relief. He desires an equal balance that they should, at the present time, supply, out of their abundance, the needs of their poorer children. All these instructions were to keep the Jewish people from hoarding and to prevent any man from having such an abundant oversupply oversupply that he could sell what God had freely given him to his neighbors. Furthermore, it was a perfect provision provision against gluttony. "And Moses said ur.to them, Let no man leave of it till the morning. Notwithstanding Notwithstanding they hearkened not unto unto Moses; but some of them left of it until the morning, and it bred worms, and became foul: and Moses was wroth with them."--Of course among two million people it would hardly be expected that all would be obedient to even God's commands, and yet one would think when the Israelites realized realized how miraculously God was providing providing for their needs and how gracious gracious he was to them in delivering thorn from the bondage of Egypt, they would have; gladly yielded their obedience to him in everything which he asked. Yet, how many of us, who are the recipients of the- Wealth of the grace of God, have not known grieved him by our stubborn disobedience disobedience ? "And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore hast thou brought us up out of Egypt --to kill us anil our children, and our cattle with thirst ? And Moses cried unto Jehovah, saying, What shall I do unto this people ? they are almost ready to stone me?"--One of the great penalties of leadership is loneliness. loneliness. When a man, by his ability, or brilliance, or great achievements, or positions, is lifted high above ordinary ordinary men, and even men above the ordinary, he is in a class by himself, and in his own environment, or community, community, or business, there are few and probably none wth whom ho can fellowship. When people began to .criticize Moses, there was no man . to whom he could turn for consolation-- he was driven to God alone. That is the one blessing that can come to us from the strife of tongues, from misunderstanding misunderstanding on the part of other people whom wo have tried to bless, from those who should have helped instead of criticizing--we are driven to the bosom of our Father in Heaven, "And Jehovah said unto Moses, Pass on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thy hand, and go. Behold, Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt smite the rock, and there shall come water out of it, that the people may drink. And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel."---God, in his graciousness, instead of'rebuking of'rebuking the people, instructed Moses how he was to satisfy their thirst at once, by taking the rod of which God had spoken to him before, and which he had so powerfully used during the plagues with which God smote Egpyt, (Ex. 4: 2, 4, 17, 20; 7:9--20; 8: 5, 16, 17; 9. 23; 10. 13; 14: 16) The exact location -of' the rock at Horeb, where this miracle took place, it is not possible now to identify. The names which Moses gave to this place, Massah and Meribah, mean, respectively, "proving," and "strife." Massah is mentioned again in Dent. 6: 16; 9: 22; 33: 8; Ps. 81: 7. How strange that water should come out of z a rock! A rock would seem the last place to choose for the storage of water. But God's cupboards are in very unlikely unlikely places. Ravens bring food. The prime minister of Egypt gives corn. Cyrus lets go tho people of Israel from Babylon. The Jordan heals the leper. Meal makes poisoned pottage wholesome. Wood makes iron swim. A Samaritan binds up tho wounds and save the liffe of the pillaged traveller. Joseph of Arimathae buries the sacred body in his own new tomb. It is worth while to go to Rephidim to get an insight into the fertility and inventiveness of God's providence. providence. There can be no lack to them that fear Him, and no fear of lack to those who have become acqtiaint- ed with his secret storehouses. By VIRGINIA PALS. Evelyn Daw is going to play the lead in her very first picture, and as if that were not enough to make her Hollywood's indeidlla of the week, she tops it by being a girl who can keep a secret. For six months she hps known that she was going to be given a big screen opportunity and she hasn't told a soul. Even so, when she learned that her b'g chance was to bo nothing less than prima donna opposite opposite James Cagney in Grand National's National's "Something to Sing About" she nearly swooned. Victor Scherfciinger, '.well-known composer and the 'motion-picture director director who gave Janet Caynor her first chance and Grave -Moore her second,, is responsible for Evelyn's opportun, ty. i; Carole Lombard still has a sleek town car, a limousine and .a roadster or two, but she ' is not using them much these days. Every afternoon when she finishes work at the studio, up drives a station wagon all filled with fishing paraphernalia paraphernalia and driven driven by Clark Gable and off go the two most irrepressible merrymakers of Hollywood. S h e claims she likes the station wagon better than the limousine limousine and she'd rather go fishing than attend a fashionable party. Clark agrees with her. Two newcomers to Hollywood are setting Hollywoodsfashions and everyone everyone is wondering just how far these new trends will go. Sigrid Guide, tho exquisite young Norwegian Norwegian actress whom United Artists imported to play opposite Gary Cooper in "The Adventures of Marco Polo" goes in for simplicity. Louise Hoviclc, most famous of strip-tease artists in her burlesque days when she was known as Gypsy Rose Lee, goes in for conservatism. She won't pose for pictures in bathing suits, shorts, or even negligees. Nick Foran's brother, Jimmy, graduated from Princeton medical school just a few weeks ago and walked right into a contract to act in pictures for Universal. Buddy de Sylva who is producing a musical extravaganza called "Merry Go Round" saw Jimmy doing some impersonations impersonations of Washington politicians politicians and was so amused he persuaded persuaded him to postpone his career in medicine for a while. Jimmy will certainly be welcome on ine Universal Universal lot. Grown-ups in Hollywood may plead for a chance to watch Robert Taylor or Joan Crawford or Luise Rainer at work, but children unanimously unanimously beg to be allowed to visit the Grand National lot. There is a reason, reason, or rather a lot of them. Grand National is «apidiy acquiring a zoo made, up of the most talented animals animals in Hollywood. All over the country picture fans arc enthusiastic over Claudette Colbert's Colbert's grand comedy, "I Met Him in Paris," but- in Hollywood it looks as if the run will never end, because tho same people come back to sea it again and again. Almost any night you can find in the audience Barbara Barbara Stanwyck and Robert Taylor, Marlene Dietrich, her huband, and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr, Opal Craven, known to radio listeners listeners from coast to coast as "the Lullaby Lady" of the Contented Hour has been appearing professionally in the world of entertainment entertainment since she was seven. With Frank Black and the Continentals Continentals she shares top billing on this concert program that has run without without interruption for more than five and a half years. In private life Opal Craven is the wife of a prominent Chicago insurance man. She began singing lullabies in real earnest about a year ago when her husky son was born.

Yet a machine has beei devised by Professor Arthur J. Demp ster, of Chicago University, whicl can weigh this minute object accur ately! It is known as a "mass spec tograph," and is used for analyzin; solid substances. When the spectograph is focusei on the object to be analyzed, a ho spark is produced and the atom drawn through an electrical and mag net'c field tin to a photographii plate. It is by the aid of this instru ment that Dr. Dempster has discov ered hitherto unknown isotopes, vari ant forms of elements. Do You Remember 7 You wake up on a 2-below-zeri morning in February.
