Time Turns Back And Brings Peace Qulet of Village Street Won- derful On Sunday Once again has quiet settled down on rural New England, says The Christian Science Monitor. Almost 1lke the horse-and-buggy days, as sitting on the porch ot country stores, New Englanders Jook up and down the silent street and say, "We would never have belleved it." No longer the div. erslon of cqunting the number of cams per hour or enumerating thes number of out-of-date 'licenses seen' within the day. PELE : SE J 2: : 'Time has rolled back, bringing mith it once again the peace and quiet of New England's village.

S S / uU Cc E LESSON 26 ALCOHOL FACTS VERSUS DRINKING PROPAGANDA Proverbs 21:17; 23:32; lsaiah ¥:20-23; Hosea 4:11; Joel 3: 2, 3y/ : Ephesians 5:18 , GOLDEN TEXT. -- If sinners tice thee, C t thou. mot. Prov, 1:10, : 4 THE LESSON IN ITS SETTING Time,--The Book ~of Proverbs was written about 1,000 B,C, That portion - from Isaiah from 'which = our lesson was taken was written about 760 B.C. The early part of the book of Hosea describes ev- ents taking place about 780 B.C.; the prophet/Joel wrote his book about 800,B.C., The Apostle Paul wrote the Epistle to the Ephesians about A.D, 64, : : " Place.--The Book of Proverbs and 'the. earlier part of Isaiah's prophecies were probably written in Jerusalem, All we can say of the prophecies of Hosea'and Joel is that they were written in the kingdom of Judaea.. The city of Ephesus, to which the : Ephesian Epistle was addressed, was, in the daye of Paul, one of the greatest ' | eities. of the Roman, Empire, los cated: in the province of Asia, which is now Asia Minor, Bitter 'Fruits 17. "He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor man: He that lov- eth wine and oil' shall not be rich," There is not here a direct prohibition of pleasure, wine and oil, but there is a solemn warhing - that the man 'who sets: his heart on these. things 'shall 'know, pov- erty. Only a few in the world are rich,- The rest must live within certain restricted incomes, and the income from normal labor has never been able to afford: these luxuries, . 32, "At the last it biteth like & serpent, and stingeth like an adder." The pronoun 'it' in this versd refers to wine, which is the theme of the preceding two verses, : " Good and Evil 20. "Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" 'Evil, as hostile to God, is dark in its nature, and therefore loves darkness; And although it may be sweet to the material taste, it is ~ nevertheless - bitter, inasumch as it produces abhorrence and dis- gust in the godlike nature of man, and, after.a brief period of seclf- deception, is turned into the bitte woe of fatal results.' Ce The Proud 21, "Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prud- ent in their sight." Self conceit was strikingly characteristic of the Jews, particularly the Phari- sees, in the time of our Saviour. As they supposed that they were already wise enough, they refused to listen to others, This is always the effect of such self-confidence; and hence the Saviour required his disciples to be meek, and _ humble, and teachable as-children; The 'Heavy Drinker 22. "Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink; 28. That justify the wicked for a bribe, and take. away the righteousness: of the righteous from him!" The word Lee trans- lated 'mighty' is really a word meaning 'heroes.' But the men described are "heroes 'not in = avenging wrong, but in drinking wine; men of renown, though not for deciding between 'guilt and innocence, but for mixing up strong wines; whereas they judged unjustly and took bribes/that they - might consume the reward of their injustice in drink and de- bauchery.' 4 Sensual Sing 1t, "Whoredom and wine and new wine take away the under standing"' Nothing will take away man's understanding, his common sense, his power of reasoning, as indulgence in sensual sins, and in the drinking of intoxicating liq wor, Man is- a noble creature when he lives according to the . Jaws: of God; when he - violates them, he does not think, talk; live or work in a normal, noble; human! way. . Craving For Wine 2.."I' will gather all - nations, and will (bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and 'I will 'execute judgment upon them ..theré for. my people.and for my: heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; and they: have parted my land; 8," and ! have cast lots for mak "have given 'a boy fOr" a -harlot, and sold 'a girl for wine, that they: may drink." The reference here is to those nations of the earth which have taken the people of Israel captive, The awfulness of selling. these people into slavery was aggravated by the objectives which the conquerors had: in mind in these males, These dreadful vices, léwdness and drinking; al- ways, follow war .and go together, as we saw in the last passage , Drunkenness Forbidden 18.

We are to be filled with the Holy Spirit, At the same time, we are not to be drunk with wine, The two are antagonistic to each other. A drunkard /is not filled with the Holy Spirit. A man filled with the Holy Spirit will not be drunk with wine, Bit why are these two seemingly contradictory -state- ments brought' together in this passage? Because they both re- fer to a life of stimulation, exalt- ation, a life lived far above the normal plane of existence, "Please Go "Way And Let Me Sleep" One of the unsung heroes of this year is the fellow who takes a job on the midnight shift and tries to get his sleep in daytime. Unsung but not undecorated. The city of Hartford, Conn., full of aircraft workers, has invented a decoration for him--or for his house, which may be better, The insignia is a flag with the city seal in blue on a white field with the words "war worker" 'be« low in red. When hung out his window in the morning the flag - may be interpreted "Please go 'way and let me sleep", or "man et work"----sawing wood in order the more efficiently to saw up stainless steel or aluminum' alloy during the eight or ten hours of the next night. . . Horse -Whimsies The report that the Japanese have been using elephants' for some of their transport has stirred the memories of old military men, who, says The Edinburgh Scots- 'man, recall the days when -- as readers of Kipling know--some of the heavy guns in India were ele- .phant-drawn, There is a legend that this came to an end after a famous march-past, when, as 24 gun-elephants approached the sal- uting-point where stood the Vice- roy, they trumpeted in salute-- and thereby scattered cavalry, with mounted officers' of all ranks, for miles over the countryside. Horses strongly object to scent of the elephant, but his trumpeting just sends them mad. - Nevertheless an old cavalryman, commenting on this, writes to say he cannot imagine anything more upsetting to the nerves of the steadiest horse than a windmill in swift motion. In France during tho last 'war he saw the march discipline of an Indian cavalry regiment _comletely set at naught by the whirling sails and the yet more alarming sweep of their vast shadows on the grass. Almost as alarming to his own mount was, he says, a small balloon which had broken away and, on recapture, was tethered close to the ground. Finally, he has ridden a horse which would not step over a hose, and, no farther away than Edin burgh, another which was: reputed to fear nothing save perambula- tors! "Horses," ho: says, "are creatures of unaccountable whim- sies, and in that fact lies part of the fascination." THIS CURIOUS WORLD By William Ferguson BEND, OREGON, TWO FIGHTING AW TT DEER. .

A total of $3,600 was added to the fund during the four boys' tour of Ontario. At June 1st, $21,600 had been contributed to the fund by the Scouts of the Dominion. The money is being earned by the Scouts and Cubs themselves, and is not being solicited. Much of it Is produced by the collection and sale of salvage. RADIO REPORTER DIALING WITH DAVE: 4 i LOWELL THOMAS Famous Network and-Newsreel commentator, was recently con. ferred an Honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Franklin and Marshall College. - L] .

Here's a bit of contrast for you, Ted Slade, the sound effects man, put in a busy half-hour Sunday on a recent "Inner Sanctum" show (CKOC---8.30 p.m.).. The various sound effects called for by the script required the usa of three doors, a window cquipped with shades and Venetian blinds, a I'rench door, two chests ot drawers, n box of glass fragments, threo turntables, a dozen records, | a Chinese gong, a gravel box, a rake, a hatchet, a pistol, two whiss tles, a kazoo, a pair of food tongs, an electrical switch and two pieces of rubber sponge, All im' all, Slade puts in a very b weekly half hour on' the chil ehow, "An hour later, he turned for the 'Hour of Charm' broad- éast. This time, his duties were ridiculously simple." All he had to do was hold a metronome up to the microphone -- to indicate the passing of time. But believe us, the excellent co-ordination. of' music and sound effects are vitally, important to the creation of the weird atmosphere that makes each Inner Sanctum show so effective} . . * Red-bearded Peter Donald, the friendly philosopher on "Carna- tion Bouquet" heard Tuesday and Thursday at 10.45 am, from CKOC, is also the MC. on WOR's "Can You Top That" fun show, He recently hit the ulti- mate mark of 130 on the "Laugh Meter" used on the show, with a gag submitted by a listener. Ana that listener dropped Peter a line which read "I was particularly ins terested to hear your version of that joke. You see, I heard Peter Donald, Senior, your father, tell that same yarn at Tony Pastor's back in 1903!" This 'n That!
