LESSON FOR
, NOV. 7, 1943
“THE SACREDNESS OF
HUMAN LIFE”
Ex. 20:13; Matt. 5:21-26, 38-45
I By EDWIN MILLER
GOLDEN TEXT: “Whosoever hat-
eth his brother is a murderer.” 1 John
15.
To correctly understand the sixth
commandment, “Thou shalt not kill”
we must understand that the original
meaning was “Thou shalt do no mur-
der. That the Mosaical law made
provision for the' taking of life due
to unavoidable accidents, criminal
negligence, or participation in war is
obwous to the diligent student of the
Bible. Self-defense was justifiable so
we may conclude that a defensive war
IS also.
One does not have to wield a pistol
or knife to commit murder. Drunken
drivers are among the nation’s fore
most murderers. Suicide committed
by a sane person because of a cow
ardice or because of some shameful
deed is nothing short of murder. Just
as self-defense was justified, we see
a war defense would not be included
under this commandment. America
should be shamed at the appalling
thousands of murders committed
here. The basic reason for this is
mankind’s ignoring the sacredness of
human life. Man’s life is sacred be-
cause God created man in the image
of Himself, and he has an immortal
SOlUl.
Jesus seeks to abolish murder by
starting at its source. Passing laws
or even executing every guilty mur
derer would not solve the problem.
The seed of murder is planted when
hatred enters the human mind. Our
Golden Text brings that out forcibly
saying “Whosoever hateth his broth
er is a murderer.” Hatred is the poi-
pn which finally results in murder,
if not arrested by its only antidote
Love.
Then Jesus points out that back of
the deed, murder has its beginnings
in anger. This leads to contempt and
therefore is dangerous.
Anger is a dangerous germ which
quickly breeds into the spirit of mal-
ice^and hate. Jesus forbids the use
of Raca” whose modern equivalent
IS “emptyhead”. It was used to ex
press contempt and was equivalent to
blasphemy, showing an utter disre
gard for the dignity and worth of
the person. “Thou fool” is an expres
sion of even greater contempt and
anger, harboring the feeling of wish
ing the absolute destruction of the
person hated. We summarize this
point by quoting, “Causeless and un
reasonable anger, whether expressed
or unexpressed, is virtual murder,
and as such exposes him who cher-
ishes it to the everlasting Gehenna
(hell-fire).”
Next Jesus teaches worship must
come from pure hearts. Something
about malice and jealousy and envy
which makes it impossible for us to
approach God sincerely when they
are present. We will be reconciled to
our enemies, if possible, before we
worship.
The Remedy—Love
Jesus now tells us how to avoid
personal strife. Agree with adversa
ries quickly. Do not return evil for
evil, but overcome evil with good.
Love not only our neighbors, but also
our enemies and pray for them. I be
lieve firmly that the war will be
shortened, if God wills, should the
vising board at Memphis, Tenn. me
classers give the grade and staple of
each bale of cotton. Before the class
ing card is returned from Raleiigh to
the grower, the loan value of the
cotton is stamped on the classing
card to guide the farmer in deter
Christians of the United Nations
would humble themselves and pray
for their enlightenment of their pres
ent enemies.
The reason why we are to love,
pray, and do good when possible to HI lO OLdllliJCCi cut l/llC
worldly enemies is explained by Jesus card to guide the farmer in
—because God, our Father, gives his mining the value of his cotton,
blessings on evil and good. “He loves I
those who have rebelled against him '
and rejected his grace. He loves those '
who are soaked and ugly in sin.” We
are to be like our Heavenly Father.
It will be hard to refrain from
hate and only love, but only thus can
we win over the forces of evil, active
on both sides of the war.

QUESTION: Can you tell me how
to take better care of the belts on
my farm machinery?
ANSWER: David S. Weaver, head
of the department of agricultural en
gineering at State College, suggests
that first of all belts must be kept
clean. Machine oil should not be al
lowed to come in contact with belts.
Dampness makes belts become harsh
and loosens the cement and, there
fore, they should be kept dry. If it is
necessary to run a belt under wet
conditions, a belt capable of with
standing dampness should be used. Do
not run a belt vertically, if possible.
Keep proper tension on the belt for
good power transmission and to
lengthen the life of the belt.
QUESTION: Can I buy a pressure
canner now for next year?
ANSWER: Yes, says Ruth Current,
Btate Home Leader of the State C'ol-
lep Extension Service. Find a dealer
who has pressure canners for sale. A
supply of 7 quart and 14 quart can
ners are available under relaxed regu
lations. The supply of the 14 quart
canner is somewhat limited. Persons
who need pressure canners may applv
directly to the local War Board Com-
mittee for a certificate or get the old
certificate reviewed under new rul
ings. Now is the time to buv a pres
sure canner,” says Miss Ruth Cur
rent.
Washington, Oct. 17. — The Feder
al government is paying bills at the

task that requires the writing of 1,-
000,000 checks each working day, or
300 000,000 a year.
So stupendous is the job that three
major disbursing agencies, the War,
Navy and Treasury department, keep
huge staffs busy around the clock
paying off Uncle Sam’s creditors.
Boast of the departments, com
plaints of business notwithstanding,
is that they pay off promptly. They
claim that 85 per cent of the bills are
being paid within 30 days, 12 per
cent in from 30 to 60 days, and less

ed by a Board of Cotton Examiners

Agriculture, says Dan F. Holler Ex-
tension Cotton Marketing Specialist
at State College. The examiners are
all licensed Government classers and
