International Sunday School Lesson for April 28, 1940 Golden Text: "God is our re fuge and strength, a very pres ent help in trouble." -Psa. 46:1. Lesson Textr Isaiah 40:1-11. There is a conflict among scholars tn the authorship of the Book rt Isaiah. These are divided into two Mltsnla ATI ft of which credits the f the entire book to Isaiah v. ua in HkiAh's reign, and they explain certain, other passages in the latter part of the book as be, ing prophetical in the popular sense of the word. These think that the iao .rrid throughout the book are similar, especially the titles used for . . .v. ;J a "romnnnt .. Jenovan, we me w and point to the fact that the liter ary style differs from the other Old Testament writers. These also point to the fact that in the latter part of the book references are made to Judah, such as in verse 9 of the les son text. On the other hand, there is a considerable group which believes that the Book of Isaiah was the work of two authors and that the question of authorship is not as important as consideration of the contents. These think that Isaiah wrote the first thirty-nine chapters and that an unknown prophet completed the book approximately two centuries later, whieh explains the reference to the exile and to Cyttffl. They point out that the theology f the two sections of the book hare differences and that the characteristic phrases and idioms in the first part are rare in the sec ond part and vice versa. This viewpoint is supported by the fact that, as a rule, the messages of the prophets were for his own generation and people. All agree, however, regardless of authorship, that the book is inspiring and worth- Auto Body and Fender Works Auto Painting Body and Fender Straightening Wrecks Rebuilt AUTHORIZED DuPont Shop 312 N. Poindexter Street ELIZABETH CITY, N. C Johnnie Pearson MANAGER while to us alL The first two verses of the printed text today urge that a message of comfort be given to the people, that the iniquity of Jerusalem had been nardoned and her sins done ior, Jehovah was directing his speakers to encourage the people who may have been in exile at this time. They were to be comforted for the task ahead and" the consolation was to be i-Wrful and reassuring. The knowi edge that they had received pardon for their trangressions was to bring happiness to their hearts. Need for preparation was empha sized by the second voice, verses 3-5, which furnished the theme upon which John the Baptist subsequently was to base his great work, prepar ing the way. The people were urged ot make ready a highway for God, which, applied to modern times, should be interpreted as meaning that Christians should strive to re move worldliness, injustice and sin in order that God might become real and powerful unto them. No great work is accomplished without adequate preparation, yet so many people go through life expect ing spiritual growth and blessing ;to come spontaneously, and without any effort upon their part to properly prepare themselves therefor. The uncertainty of life and the faith which should result from a realization of the providence of God is the theme of the message contain ed in verses -8... Daily those we love pass awa and no' comfort an be offered for this 4S8xcept that which is contained in the promise of eternal life through faith in the promises of od. As the grass with ers and fades, so with human life, but the consolation and assurance ol the Christian believer comes through the fact that the word of God stands forth and that those who believe can depend upon its fidelity. The closing verses of our lesson tut. 9-11. brine a message of re- nR$m ranee which was to be spoken from a high place so that all might v,o, tmnA tidines. This voice summoned the people to a high des T,lliWM-f i'Hill'Cf ' 5? ""Jr? TIT - tiny when they would behold God and. as a result, He would care for them. Especial notice was given to the message to the cities of Judah, which carries a suggestion to us that the cities of the world today would find happiness and peace in a clearer perception of the righteousness of the Kingdom 01 00a. Home-made Brooder Costs $5 To $7.50 A home-made lamp brooder that will accomodate from 50 to 60 chick, can be constructed for as little as $6.00 to $7.50, says C. F. Parrish, noultrv extension specialist of N. C State College. It is of simple de sign, easy to operate, and is heated bv one to three lamps, depending upon the severity of the weather. Plans for building a home-made lamp brooder may be obtained from county farm or home agents, or wore the Extension Poultryman at State Ollem. Raleisrh. upon request foi Blue Print No. 46. Parrish said the lamp brooder is intended for operation in a protected place, such as under a wood shed 01 wairon shed, preferably where th wind will not blow directly on th brooder, yet the sun will shine di rectly on the sun porch attached. Here are general directions the specialist gives for such a poultry unit: The brooder is constructed in two parts. The bottom section hous es the lamps; the top section accom odates the chicks. The tray that separates the two sections is covered with 26 or 28 gauge tin. The tin side is placed 4ownwad, jieifctoHhe flame of the -lamp, and the top part of the trap is covered over .with one inch or more of sharp, coarse, dry sand. The chimney of the lamp should be one to one and one-half inches below the metal tray which divides the top and bottom sections. The tray should be kept covered with sand at all times. This acts not only as a conductor of heat, but also as a litter. It should be kept clean at all times. A sun porch is attached, and aftei the first few daysthe chicks may be allowed to run on it in mild weather. The roof, or top of the brooder may be covered with tin or roofing paper.
