WEEKLY SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON EZRA TEACHING LAW OF GOD Prepared by Hight C. Moore Golden Text—Thv word have I hid in mine heart. Psalm 119:11. Ezra the scribe prepared him self to teach the Law of God (Ezra 7: 10), having most prob ably compiled the books of the Old Testament 'as we have them today. Nehemiah the governor who re built the wall of Jerusalem and rekindled national spirit also ar ranged for popular instruction in the Word of God (Nehemiah 8). THE LEADER (Ezra 7) Bible writing was done by Ez ra. He is credited with authorship of the book bearing: his name and may have written other iJible books. He is said to have compiled the Old Testament. He was pro foundly interested in giving it to his people. For this purpose he first made a diligent study of it; then tested it faithfully ih his own experience, and so qualified himself to teach it accurately and effectively. THE ASSEMBLY (Neheniiah 8) Bible students were the people who on that bright autumn morn Trade atGunter s GROCERY and MARKET Seventh Ave. East We Deliver Phone 132-J MEATS Spare Ribs 20c lb Neck Bone 10c lb Small Weiners 20c lb Breakfast Bacon 34c lb Fish and Oysters LARD, 8-lb carton $1.05 YELLOW TOMATO JUICE, Or „ 2 No. 2 cans ufJXJ 25c SAUER KRAUT, 3 No. 2Va cans PEAS—Superfine Fancy Tiny, OQp No. 2 can LiO\J SWANSDOWN CAKE FLOUR, Q1p box OIL 5c GELATIN DESSERT— Jack and Jill, box MILK—Gold Medal—6 small or 3 large cans £Uv CRANBERRIES—Fancy, lb 23c FRESH TOMATOES—Fancy, Full Line of Candies and Fruits for Christmas llMIII Zhmmm Reddy Kilowatt Says, v * \ ■ * •* * I am the real ; definition of v ~ t i A LTHOUGH Reddy Kilowatt was not born '.^rin Scotland, Scotch have nothing on him :when it comes to saving money and being thrifty in the home. Intelligent and progres sive housewives are not only relieving them selves of household and kitchen drudgery and i making their homes healthier and happier, but - they are actually and substantially reducing their household budgets through the wise use of Reddy Kilowatt in their household duties. I ' v T AKE the two all important matters of cook • * ing and refrigeration for instance. With all I of its advantages of coolness, convenience, the saving of time and labor, and other advantages, electric cookery costs no more than the old fashioned ways. And electric regrigeration, with all its advantages over ordinary refrigera tion, actually costs less—much less. "r'-X t r THE cost of Reddy Kilowatt's service has 1 ■ had a constant trend downward since the * power industry came into being. THE COST ; - OF LIVING HAS SUBSTANTIALLY IN ; CREASED DURING THE PAST TWO ■i YEARS ... THE COST OF REDDY KILO ; WAITS SERVICE HAS CONTINUED TO 'l DECREASE. J JI . i \\ REDDY KILOWATT is the ♦ symbol of your electric service! I , \ Make him part of your plan for living. You wiU find you spend I . ; ?. • less and enjoy life more. V I - ing gathered themselves togeiner as one man in the commodious public park lying between the wall of the temple and that of the city. In that vast assemblage were crowded men and women, and indeed all who could hear with understanding. The purpose of the assembly was to hear the book of the Law of Moses as divinely commanded. It was an eager gathering of devout Jews, anx ious to learn the very words of their Bible. THE LAW (Nehemiah 8) Bible teachers were at hand. The central figure was Ezra, the illustrous scribe. For the first time in thirteen years he appears in Jerusalem. He probably had spent the interval in Bablyon studying the manuscripts of the Law and the Prophets and collecting them into one volume which we have today in the Old Testament. He therefore brought to the Jews the complete Scriptures just at the time when they were most anxious to receive them. He was assisted by several prominent Le vites. Near him, on the pulpit of wood erected for the occasion, stood thirteen of the most emi nent scholars of the time, six of them on his right, and seven on his left. They probably relieved Ezra in the reading of the Scrip tures for it would be impossible for him to read loudly for six hours in the open air. Thirteen other assistants were also named; they were probably stationed out in the audience to repeat what was heard indistinctly and to com merit as there was need. THE EXERCISES (Nehemiah B) Bible teaching engaged for sev eral hours the fourteen teachers on the platform and their help ers among the thousands of their countrymen in the open space be fore them. Beginning the exer cises, Ezra rose from his seat with great solemnity and oPe"ed the book in the sight of all the peo ple who immediately arose to the same attitude of reverence. The first act was that of devout ador ation to God. Then followed the reading of the Scriptures which continued from early morning un til midday. The reading was ex plained and the inquiries of the people answered so that they un derstood the reading. On the part of the people there was rapt at tention and earnest acceptance. The length of the service did not dull their appreciation, so eager svere they for knowledge of God s tvord. , , , .. THE EFFECT (Nehemiah 8) Bible practice followed Bible knowledge. Ezra had from seclusion with an open rsiDie n his hand, and the masses must lave it. As they heard more dis ;inctly than ever before the thun ierings of Sinai and glimpsed the deals demanded, they felt their jwn unworthiness with grief un controllable. But there was rea son for joy instead of sorrow, and md the melancholy weight must je lifted from the hearts of the >eople. So Nehemiah and Ezra •eassured the audience and show »d them how they could counter ict their grief and express their joy. So they were lifted out of ;he dark depths of dejection and borne upward to the heights of ecstacy. They feasted and sent portions to others and rejoiced aecause of the new light that had broken upon them out of the Word of God. TEAC HTHE LAW (1) Recognize the Bible. 'The book—which the Lord had com manded." It is the Word of God. It comes to us from God. It shows as the way to God. It is our one "suffi&ent rule of faith and practice." • \ (2) Request the Bible. "They spake unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book." No other book is so much needed. There is none so beneficient. Certainly we ought to desire no other with equal intensity. Let us call upon our teachers for it. (3) Receive the Bible. "And Ezra the priest brought the law before the congregation." The outstanding work of the great scribe was the compilation and completion of the Old Testament Scriptures. And the best interces sory service of the great priest was to bring the ancient Bible be fore the assembly in Jerusalem. They were to receive it not only as coming from God but as being adapted to men. (4) Revere the Bible. "When he opened it, all the people stood up." Of course they respected Ezra but they revered the Book. Thus they proved their worthiness to receive it. Destroy respect for the Bible, and you steel the heart against its blessed influence. (5) Hear the Bible. "The ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law." Many could not read but all , could hear. And they listened with rapt at tention. How rare is the good lis tener! How profoundly we are in fluenced bv the hearing ear! (6) Read the Bible, "tie reaa therein—from the morning until midday." The chance and casula reading of the Bible is not with out profit. But how much more profitable it is to peruse the sa cred pages-for hours at a time! (7) Teach the Bible. "They read in the book—distinctly, and gave the sense." Good reading of the exact text may prove to be the very best of teaching. Then of course the obscurer parts need to be explained and interpreted so as to get fastened as with hooks of steel in the receiving mind. Thus simple and yet sub lime is the teaching of the Bible. (8) Understand the Bible. "Caused them to understand." The hearing ear and the seeing eye and the enlightening tongue have their place in the spread ol Bible truth. But ultimately the good of it must come from a clear understanding pf the Wo*d of God. It is enough for the people to understand the simple reading of the Bible text. (9) Apply the Bible. "All the people wept, when they heard.' Theysaw hew far they had .stray, ed. They realized how much they had missed. They felt that they were not qualified for the task' (lw) Translate Bible* "He said unto them. Go your way— and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared." Hav ing heard, they must heed.

If these rakes are made according to the traditional German method the process is long and tedious, since one hour of constant stirring is necessary. The quicker method uses baking powder and a dover beater with excellent results.
