earn the least. They get the most
for their money, when it comes to

as a rule earn less than men, and
work a shorter time in CONNER

women come off comparatively

deuteronomy 6:5.
Today we begin series of stud
les which should be of unusual val
lie, a consideration of the Ten Com
mandments in the light of the teach
ings of Jesus and related New Tesla
ment passages. 1t is appropriate to
point out that. far from being out
NODDED, the Ten Commandments are
really the basis of all moral law.
They need diligent re-study and
re-emphaSiS in our day of disregard
of moral standards. AS interpreted
by the Lord Jesus and applied to our
daily living. the truth of these COM
mandments should be brought home
to every boy and girl and man and
woman in our Bible schools.
The lessons begin at the right
point, for the first commandment
properly deals with our conception
of God. What a man thinks about
God determines his entire outlook
on life. We begin right when we de-
clare that there is but one God.
1. The Truth Stated-There Is One
True God (Exod. 20:2. 81.
Jehovah means Il will be what
will be-" or 81 am that | am"

clares God to be the self-existent,
eternal one. How infinitely gracious
then is the use of the word thy

my God.
There are many things concern
ing which we do not speak dogmati-
cally. There are even Christian
doctrines about which spiritual and
earnest men may honestly differ,
but regarding God we say with alb
solute assurance and complete ex-
lusiveness-there is but one true
God. If He is what He claims to
be, if God is not to be declared to
be liar, then it is beyond the realm
Of possibility that there could be any
other God. Hear, it, We men and
women of America who in an en-
lghtened land and age bow down in
heathenish worship before the god
Of gold, the god of self, the god Of
wine, the god of success, the god
OF fame, the goddess Of pleasure,
the god Of Righteousness" The one

War Never Brings Real Security

I SUPPOSE there always will be wars, but war
never helps anything. It never settles any
thing and it never brings real security in the end
That is just the point. There is no such thing
as material security in this world, there never
has been, and there never will be. The best we
human mortals can do is to go on from day
to day, doing our little bit and not fussing about
what is coming in the future.
After ALL the future doesn't belong to us; it
belongs to God and only He, in His great wis
dom, knows what lies ahead.
OF course, we all want this to be a happy
New Year, but we want it to be more than that,
we want it to be useful, constructive and above
all, A KIND NEW YEAR. We can, one and ALL
help to make it this if we do our share
