In The Religious World;
(REvEw OF SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON,

for today. We see that all mean more
to us than they ever meant to the
Jews Of old for they expand with the
progress of the time. They take their
fullest significance from the content
and spirit put into them on another
mount by Jesus. Let us get firmly In
our minds the truth, so that we may
plant 1t in other minds, that the Ten
Commandments are large enough to
hold all the latest thought concern
ing human obligations.
Back TO The Family.
One grave peril in present social
tendencies is that it plans to have
the State do what properly belongs
to the family. Men and women need
the burden and responsibility Of chill
dren. Children need the training which
can come only as they grow in love
and reverence for their own parents.
The first. Commandment Of the second
table of the law, Honor thy father
and thy mother" is a most up-to-date
injunction. 1t is rare son who says
"sir" to his father, and rare daugh-
ter who waits on her mother rather
than have her mother wait on her.
The New Weapons Of Murder.
A knife, a club, an arrow, a spear,
stone,-these weapons were ancient
" In mind as the instruments Of muir
der. That there is still need for the
Sixth Commandment in this most ell
emental application Is apparent when
we view the list of homicides in the
United States.
But society has expanded this Com
mandment. We now understand It to
read, Thou shalt not kill,-by grade
crossing, by an automobile, by unpro-
tected machinery, by food preserya-
tives, by long hours of labor, by unsan-
itary tentments, by improper clothes. "
This one Of the Ten>Great words most
strfkingly reveals the modernization Of
which the Decalogue Is capable.
The Days Great Slump.
The egotistical and unsocial think
ing of the day appears nowhere more
glaringly than with respect to the
Seventh Commandment, Our divorce
courts, our prurient current literature,
the advanced views" that are ex-
pounded before women's clubs, show
the deep need for new presentation
of this divine commandment with the
very thunders Of the mount: Thou
shalt not commit adultery"
@ The Larger Theft.
Some commandments need no am
plification, only application. The
Eighth Commandment Is one of these.
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1913-09-11

Let us burn like brand into the
thinking Of the new generation the
great word. Thou shalt not steal
Thou shalt not steaI-grossly, like
the yeggmen; nor fashionably and So
phisticatedly, like the stockjuggler and
the person who does not pay his bills.
A subtle form of stealing 10 rob-
hing a person Of his good name. This
evil was considered sufficiently basic
to deserve special commandment
from Mt. Sinai. Thou shalt not bear
false witness against they neighbor."
This is aimed at SANDER, which is
the sin of society. Gossip is usually
more cruel than a blow. Gentle wo-
men who Join societies for the protec-
tion Of animals, do not hesitate to az
sassinate the character of neighbors
by cruel words. This Ninth Command
ment expounded the loving law Of
Christ, which puts the seal Of charity
on the lips of all who call him Master.
-. Contentment or Unrest?
Will not some great preacher soon
arise and proclaim the old doctrine
of contentment with ones lot? Our
mad rush to conform to the standard
of the person above US is giving our
age nervous prostration. We are all
growing wrinkles in our faces and in
our hearts, while keeping UP with
Lizzie" s,....
/ Some persons may be shocked by
the thought that this Is sin; vet
the last of the Commandments was.
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbours
house thou shalt not covet thy neigh
boris wife, nor his manservant, nor his
maidservant, nor his OK, nor his ass,
nor anything that is thy neighbor's."
With our flne-spun and detailed NOR
alities, and our subtle spiritualists, we
must not get away from the primary
obligations which are contained In the
law spoken from the Mount.

IOWA CITY MAY GET

Iowa City, Sept. 10.-That the new
epileptc colony. provided for by the
act OF the last general assembly, should
be located near Iowa City and conven-
lent to the university medical school is
the belief Of many who have invests
gated the matter. The board Of con-
troll Of state institutions Is looking for
q tract of land Of 1000 acres suitable
for such a colony of both male and fe-
male patients. The money to pay for
the land and buildings Is to come from
the half mill levy made by the last gen
buildings Of the institutions under the

THE GREAT ALLEGIANCE.
The international Sunday School Les.
n son for September Is Is "The Ten
Commandments" Part Two) EXC.
dus 2O;12-21.
(By William T. Ellis).

The days mood of rampant indi.
vidualism offers many incongruities.
Men and women are talking of social
service by breaking social ties.
Some would sever the ancient human
relationships in the vain desire for a
better human society. Not few OF
our advanced" sociologists are
apotheosizing the instincts and i'm
pulses. They would grant everybody
the liberty to do as he pleases. They
would bring in the perfect social or.
der by restoring jungle conditions.
In the face of this tendency to sub
stitute wishes for, will. and to make
sovereign the unframed impulses and
instincts Of human nature, we write
the command Numbered from the
Sinai Thou shalt not" This is ar
resting and startling. 1t jerks society
up with suddenness, in its, mad and
unthinking rush toward selfgratifica-
ton. For the only way this human
order Is going to hold together is for
all of its units to accept allegiance to
a supreme law, and thus, incidentally,
to one another.
Novel Cure For Present Ills.
since ANYBODY nowadays seems 10
have a right to lift up his voice with
patent prescriptions for all social Ills
/ should like to offer the novel and
radical uggestion-that society turn
to study Of the Ten Commandments!
The law according to Jehovah on the
Mount is better fitted to meet present
needs than the latest law according
to Prof. Erratic.
The Decalogue, is the most up-to-
date of social pronouncements. 1t is
sufficient for these times; and it is
the only social program Of which this
can be said. The injection Of the Ten
Commandments into the body social
and the body polite would be health
virus that would make for infant re-
covery from some present maladies.
The two tables of the law look in
two directions. The first four COM
mandments have reference to mans
relation to God. AS we studied last
week, these come first The other
six, which have to do with fundament-
al human relationship, are our study
