Prov. 20:1, THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time -- Of course we do not know exactly when Solomon wrote the book of Proverbs, but it can be rougly estimated as about 1000 B.C. The apostle Paul wrote the First Epistle to the Thessalonians before 54 A.D. Place -- There is nothing to tell us where the book of Proverbs was written, though, of course, we all know that Solomon ruled as king in city of Jerusalem. The epistle to the Thessalonians was written from the city of Corinth in Greece to the church of Thessalonica, a city in Macedonia, now known as Saloniki in European Turkey. The major part of this lesson is taken from the book of Proverbs, a book written, for the most part, by Solomon, and completed sometime after his death. The central, funda. mental word of the book of Prov- erbs is "wisdom." "In all its teach- ing thisi book takes for granted the wisdom of God, and seeks to in- struct men concerning what God's wisdom really is. Man is wise in proportion as he recognizes these 'truths and accepts them in the con- duct of his life. The perfectly wise man is the one who in his whole being lives and thinks and acts in right relationship to the. All-wise God." Wise Instruction 10. Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; and the years of thy life shall be many. Solomon is here not so much thinking of his own sons or sons according to the flesh, but of all young men, who would look up to. him as a guide and instructor of youth. Solomon would have the young man to know that, by adopting the principles about to be mentioned he will pro- long the years of his life. 11. I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in the paths of uprightness. 12. When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; and if thou _ runnest, thou shalt not stumble. By following the ways of uprightness, the path of wisdom which God has marked for us in his word, we have the promise of freedom and liberty in the way that we travel. We do not very often have to run in life; the times when we do are times of criges and these are times of «lan- ger. God promises us that in such moments if we are in his way, we shall not fall. The New Testament supplements this promise by assur- ing us that the Lord Jesus Christ himself, our wisdom, will keep us from stumbling (Jude 24). . 13. Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go; keep her; for she is thy life. No man is sufficient unto himself. The Lord himself is our perfect example, and we are to fol- low in his steps, we are to learn of him (1 Pet. 2:21; Matt. 11:20). The reason why we are to lay hold of God's will for us so firmly is be- cause, if we do not determine to walk in his ways, our whole life Is foredoemed to ultimate failure, disappointment and sorrow. Foliy of Wickedness 14. Enter not into the path of the wicked, and walk not in the way of evil men. 15. Avoid it, pass not by it! turn from fit, and pass on. '"Ver- ses 14 to 17 give the picture of the other path, in terrible contrast with the preceding. Righteousness was dealt with, as it were, in the ab- stract; but wickedness Is too aw- ful and dark to be painted thus, and is set forth only in the con- crete, as seen in its doers. True, negative virtue is incomplete, but there will be no positive virtue without ft. We must be accustomed to say, 'No,' or we shall come to little good. The Decalogiie is most- ly prohibitions. 16. For they sleep not, except they do evil; and their sleep is ta- ken away, unless they cause some to fall. 17. IFor they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence. Every man who lives in sin contributes financially to the support of sinful businesses. Study In Contrast 18. But the path of the righteous fs as the dawning light, that shin. eth more and more unto the per- fect day. Here is one of the most exquisite sentences in all of the wisdom literature of the ou Testa- ment. Our Lord said much about the light, and so did the apostles. Jesus said that we should walk in he light, lest darkness overtake s. Paul frankly tells us that we, born again by the Holy Spirit, are the children of light, and that as such we should put off the works of darkness and put on robes of light, >> > + * 19. The way of the wicked & as darkness; they know not at what they stumble. Wicked things are black things; sin blows out the light in our hearts; a sinner cannot see God, cannot discern the right from the wrong, cannot see beauty in virtue and innocence and honor and uprightness, A sinner does not know wherg the right road is. A sinner stumbles. 20. My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thy heart. 22. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23. Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. The teaching of all these four verses is summed up in the last one. Literally, the open- ing clause should read, "with all watching, guard," fe. In every way with all possible vigilance and dili- gence. "The word 'heart' is to be understood as the word 'self', and not as indicating a contrast be- tween inward and outward life, for the outward life in Proverbs is treated as the expression of the in- ward self. The fountains and wells of the ast were watched over with special care. A stone was rolled to the mouth of the well so that 'a spring shut up, a fountain sealed' (Song of Sol. 4:12) because the type of all that is most jealously guarded. So it is here. The heart is such a fountain; out of it flow the issues of life. Shall we let those strcams be tainted at the fountain head? ' Virtue of Sobriety 1 Thess. 5;6-8. Paul's entire par- agraph here, beginning with verse 4, has to do with the life that the Christians ought to live as sons of light and sons of the day. While verse 4 is not included in our les- son, it is really at the: foundation of the three verses which are as- signed to us. Light is always a syn- onym for openness, frankness, hon- esty, purity, sincerity, singleness of purpose. As'God_our Father pos- "| sesses all these characteristics be- cause he is light, so ought we as his children. 6. So then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober. There are logical conse- .quences in our being sons of the light. We show ourselves to be truly such by living in the light lives that are. transparently honest and undeniably holy and good. Sobriety refers to the moral as- pect of the life of a Christian look- ing for the coming of the Lord, while watchfulness has reference more to the mental aspect of such waiting. Soberness not only means freedom from drunkenness, but in- cludes all habits of moderation and self-control. It-does not refer ex- clusively to the matter of intoxi- cating liquors, we are to be sober in our amusements, sober in our eating, sober in the hours 'that we work, temperate in all things. 7. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that are also drunken are drunken in the night. This verse principally refers to the facts observable in the natural and physical world, namely, that sleep and drunkeness are indulged in al- most exclusively after dark. This is used by Paul as an illustration of life in general. 8. But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breast plate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. We _are not only to be wakeful, but we are also to be fully armed, soldiers of Christ. The breastplate is that part of the armour which covers the heart, The helmet is a military cap which covers and defends the head, and is here identified with salvation, Nearly 4,000,000 volumes of the Telephone Directory for London, weighing 4,000 tons, will be issued this year. Belgium has increased existing taxes and re-established the na- tional crisis tax which wag repeal- ed last year. . Are You | Listening ?

SEV Arctic Voyage of Priest Unique in Modern Times With Eight Companions He Ne- gotiated the Perilous Bering Strait In A Walrus-Skin Ca- noe--Wants to Prove The- _ ory That North America Was Originally Populated by Asi- atic Migration. Father Bernard. J. Hubbard, the Jesuit explorer-scientist, and eight companions "dried out" at Kotze- hie, Alaska, after a perilous 250- mile voyage through treacherous Bering Strait in a walrus-skin ca- noe. . New Tory Organizer be RS Dr. J. M. Robb, minister of health in the former Ferguson and Henry governments of Ontario, has been named to the post of Conservative party national organ- zer, The party's trip, which started from King Island, was the first such voyage in modern niemory. It was the first leg of their projected cruise to the Barren Lands east of' Point Barrow. The "Glacier Priest" arrived just as rescue parties were forming to seek the fragile craft, overdue here after a week at sea. High seas forced the group to seek haven on 'the beach at Sinrok and Cape Prince of Wales during the voyage, Father Hubbard said. Eskimos In Party He is accompanied by Ed Levin and Ken Chisholm, former Santa Clara University football stars, Aolarana, chief of the King Island Eskimos; Patunak, Mayae, Tata- yuna, Alliak, and Peter Mayac, na- tive hunters. Father Hubbard reported mem- bers of the party were constantly soaked by spray as the 36-foot skin canoe, powered with an outboard motor, sail and paddles, battled the swirling currents of Bering Strait. High winds slowed the progress of the .oomiak. Arour.d Corner of Continent Tire priest said he hoped the voyage would prove that prehis- toric migrations from Siberia could have been made in skin boats sim- flar to his craft, Skeptics who have doubted the theory that North © America was originally populated by an Asiatic migration have said that skin boats could not negotiate Bering Strait. .

YOU DARE AND THEN DOUBLE IT! = } Minister, Unpaid * Lives In Church Young Toronto Rector Fore- gation Has Liquidated Debts Rev. A. J. Jackson, rector of St. Hilda's Anglican church in the su- burbs of Toronto, arose from a camp cot in the gallery of the church today and went down to the basement to cook his break- fast. That was not at all unusual for the young bachelor minister. He's been doing that for four years now, since Le was inducted into his first charge, and likes it. He intends to maintain his unique "bachelor apartment" until the chur¢h can afford to give him a rectory. Mr, Jackson found that St. Hil- da's was deply in debt when he took the charge. The first night he yes "on the job" he was serv- er with a writ for the unpaid sal- ary of the organist. So he told the parishioners he would not ac- cept a salary until the church had liquidated its obligations. There was no rectory. The rec- tor promptly put a camp cot in an upper room in the front of the church -- separate from the main auditorium by a bannister and a railing, and set up a cook stove in the basement, His bathroom is the general wash room of the church, By doing without a rectory, St. Hilda's has reduced the mortgage from $25,000 to $16,000 and has built a $1,000 addition to the church. "The people's interest in the church has been stimulated by my example," Mr. Jackson said. "The congregation even attends to the grounds now and has made them a credit to the community." Still A Mystery Why Whales Die Nobody Knows the Exact Ans- wer--But Australian Pro- vides Clue Whales are mgmmals, not fishes and they breathe oxygen direct from the air only. They cannot breathe the oxygen dissolved in water, as do the fishes. That be- ing the case, why is it that the whales so soon die when washed ashore? Probably nobody pcsitively does know. In Nature (London), how- ever, appears a communication from W. A. Osborne, of the Uni- versity of Melbourne, Australia, stating several hypotheses: Stranded Because They're Dying "When a school of whales was stranded on an Australian coast, much to the discomfiture of local health authorities, I put to vari- ous colleagues the simple query. "Why do stranded whales die? I received the following answers: "1--The blood now being acted on by gravity collects in the de- pendent parts ,and produces an- emia of the brain. "2--The weight of the body impedes breathing. = "3--Vital organs are crushed by the great weight. "4--The unaccustomed warmth, especially if there is direct isola- tion, induces knat stroke. "6--The unaccustomed temper- ature interval between night and day gives rise to internal chills and probably pneumonia. "6--The whales 'do not die be- cause they are stranded; they are stranded because they are dying." Homesick For . Barefoot Days Writer Looks Back With Longs ing to Earlier Times In Rural Ontario.
