r Israel Called to Be a Holy People e
HIGHLIGHTS ON THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON
By NEWMAN CAMPBELL
(The International Uniform
Lesson on the above topic for
Sept. 5, is the Book of Leviticus,
the Golden Text being I Peter
1:16, “Ye shall be holy; for I am
holy.”)
THE BOOK OF Leviticus,
which is our lesson for today, fol
lows the book of Exodus, in which
is told the story of the escape of
the Children of Israel from slav
ery in Egypt. Leviticus deals with
the laws laid down by the Lord
to Moses for the conduct of the
children of Israel in the land of
promise.
The people were told to make
themselves holy by their daily liv
ing and right attitudes toward
God and their neighbors. Many of
these laws were concerned only
with the Jewish people of that
day. and have no bearing on our
conduct. Many more, however, are
just as important for us today as
they were then for the Israelites.
One of the laws that does not
apply to us is that which has
made the Jewish people a unique
nation, separate from all others
down the ages. It was necessary
in those days that they should be
kept separate from the heathen
nations. If Israel was to teach the
nations the way of holiness, it
must be taught holiness by the
Lord.
It is interesting to note that
the events recorded in Genesis
cover ^70 years; those in Exodus,
140 years; but the events occur
ring in Leviticus can be included
in one month of time.
Right Relations With God
Much of the book is concerned
with the sins of man, even of the
priests, and the laws which would
lead him back into right relations
with God. Disobedience often re
sulted in death, as in the case of
two of Aaron’s sons. When the
necessary sacrifice had been made
in the tabernacle, “the glory of
the Lord appeared unto all the
people, and a fire came out from
before the Lord.” These men took
their censers and put fire therein
and incense thereon, and “offered
strange fire before the Lord,
which He commanded them not.
And there went out fire from the
Lord, and devoured them and they
died.”
Honoring parents is one of the
first commandments of the law.
Children get their first experience
of the love and goodness of God
ment at the Naval hospital in
Philadelphia.
Duckworth, on being discharged
from the Naval air service in 1941,
spent several months with the
Royal Air Force Ferry Command,
making ferry flights to England,
from Canada. He was also em
ployed by Douglas Aircraft in
Eritrea, East Africa, but due to
illness was returned to the states.
After several weeks of rest, Duck
worth re-enlisted in the U. S. Navy
and was promoted to Chief Petty
Officer, with specialty rating as
Aviation Chief Machinist Mate.
For the past several months he
has been stationed at Atlantic
City, New Jersey.
Lewis Hamlin, Jr., son of L. P.
Hamlin, of Brevard, has been pro
moted to a lieutenant, junior grade,
in the navy. Lewis is now on a
ship somewhere in the Atlantic.
Pfc. Thomas Walter Enloe, son
of Mr. and Mrs. E. A. Enloe, of
Brevard, who is in the medical
section of military service, sta
tioned at Brigham City, Utah, is
visiting his sisters here on a 15
day furlough.
Pvt. Randall Lankford, who is
stationed at Fort Moultrie near
Charleston, spent a 10-day fur
lough visiting his wife and baby
and relatives in the county. He is
an instructor in the quartermaster
corps.
WOOD VERSUS COAL
A cord of dry oak or hickory
has the heating value of a ton of
soft coal, according to the U. S.
Forest Service. Green wood has
only half the heat-producing value
of dry wood.
MUSIC MOTTO
For the common things
of every day,
God gave man speech in
the common way;
And He gave the poet
words to reveal!
The deeper things men
think and feel;
But for the heights and depths
no words could reach;
God gave men MUSIC . . .
the soul’s own speech.

through their parents. They

They were warned not io wor*

bath. During the Sabbath when
no work that was not absolute*

children could be instructed in
the symbols, rites and ceremonies
which formed part of the service
of the Sabbaths.
Ye shall not steal nor lie to one
another, nor deal falsely with one
another. Stealing and lying go
hand in hand. A person who will
steal will usually lie. Dealing
falsely with a neighbor means
cheating him, robbing him of his
just dues, or not paying him what
he earns by his labor.
Neither Flatter Nor Bully
"Thou shalt not respect the
person of the poor, nor honor the
person • of the mighty; but in
righteousness shalt thou judge
thy neighbor." Respect the per
son, whether he be rich or poor,
not letting his riches or poverty
influence you. Deal justly with
all, neither fawning on and flat
tering one or bullying the other.
Treat both as you would your
self be treated.
One commandment that is es
pecially pertinent in all times and
places is the rule about tale
bearing—gossiping. How many,
even very good people, indulge in
this sin, and how many innocent
ones suffer from it?
Respect the aged. “Thou shalt
rise up before the hoary head,
and honor the face of the old
man, and thou shalt fear thy
God." How many people today
disregard this commandment, and
how much it needs to be brought
to their attention.
The most touching of the laws
of relations with others is the
one of love for the stranger. "And
if a stranger sojourn with the*
in your land, ye shall do him no
wrong. The stranger that so
journeth with you shall be unto
you as the home-born among you,
and thou shalt love him as thy
self; for ye were sojourners in the
land of Egypt."
The sojourner or stranger had
adopted the customs of the Jews,
become one of them, and as they
remembered their loneliness and
the slurs cast at them when they
were strangers in a strange land,
so should they make the stranger
feel as home and "loye him" as
themselves.
AAA OFFICE HAS SEED
The county AAA office an
nounced today that it has an
abundant supply of crimson clover
seed, as well as vetch and winter
peas. Those who are interested in
obtaining some of these seed
should apply at the office.
