Sunday Study
THE COMMANDMENTs.


The international Sunday school les
SON for July 20 is found in Exodus Xxx,
12-17. The golden text is Matthew
xix, 10. The Ten Commandments, or
ten words, as they are sometimes call
ed, are summed up by our Lord in
Mark vii, 1881, in these words: Hear,
Q Israel; the Lord our God is one Lord,
and thou shalt love the Lord thy God
with all thy heart, and with all they
soul, and with all thy mind, and with
all thy strength. This is the first COM
mandment, and the second is like
namely, this, Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as myself There is none
other commandment greater than
these" The first verse of the lesson is
an important one: Honor thy father
and thy mother that thy days may be
long upon the land which the Lord thy
God giveth thee"
The second verse of the lesson is
Thou shalt not kill" 1t is not all in
in the killing of the body, for it is
written in John ill.,, Is, that ''Whoso-
ever hateth his brother is a murderer"
Not duly are we forbidden to hate any
one, but we are forbidden to speak evil
of any one. We are forbidden even to
imagine evil in our hearts against a
brother or neighbor.
Thou shalt not commit adultery is
the command in the third verse of the
lesson. This sin can be committed in a
look as we'll as by the act. God count
ed Israel guilty of this sin when they
worship idols, the works of mems
hands, and by the spirit through
James He tells us that if we are in
idolatrous friendship with the world
we are in His sight guilty of this sin.
The next verse says, Thou shalt
not steal" Many who would scorn
to take what does not belong to them,
as between man and man, might have
to plead guilty when searched by the
question, 'Will man rob God % Yet
God had to say to Israel, I'VE have
robbed Me in tithes and offerings"
Thou shalt not bear false witness
against thy neighbour" There are
tongues that devise mischiefs, that
seem to love evil more than good and
lying rather than righteousness, but
such do not belong in the holy city.
He that worketh deceit shall not
dwell within My house; he that tell
eth lies shall not tarry in My sight"
F'afse witnesses were among the
grievous things which our Lord suf-
fered for our SakeS, even as it is writ
ten, False witnesses are risen up
against Me and such as breaths out
cruelty" and again, False witnesses
did rise up; they laid to My charge
things that l knew not"
Thou shalt not covet." One cannot
keep the other commandment and vet
desire what belongs to another. One
offense is sufficient to blot the whole.

DIET
GOOD AUTHORITY

GOOD AUTHORITY.
Sir Henry Thompson, one of the
greatest living authorities on foods and
Ieellngs, states in a recent publication
that what is called indigestion does
not depend upon any fault Of the di-
gestlve apparatus, but solely upon it's
being called upon to accomplish work
which is beyond it's powers; so that the
remedy is not to be found in the gas
trio juices of the pig, or in the inges-
ton of the various chemically prepared
messes advertised as being digestible."
He (Sir Henry would leave the pep
sin and the meSses to be applied, if at
all, by skilled physicians in cases of
illness Which may possibly require
them, and lays down, as of practically
universal application, the principle
that the elderly person neither requires
nor can ulgeSt as much food as the
young person, and that this principle
should govern the arrangements of life.
