Life and Law,
Lesson for October 17,1948
Dr. Foreman
VOU, friend reader, probably
A know less about what is in the
books of Exodus, Leviticus, Num-
bers and Deuteronomy than any
other part of the
Bible. These are
the sections mostly
filled with laws—
“Thou shalt . . .
Thou shalt not.”
You either skip
these entirely or
you say to yourself,
“Well, that has
nothing to do with
me.” If so, you
have been missing
one of the most interesting sections
of the Bible.
Some of these old laws are dead;
but even a mummy can be interest-
ing. Call them dead if you like; you
still can learn a great deal about
the times and the minds and the
customs of those far-off days by
reading the laws which governed
people’s daily lives.
But it is hardly fair to call
them dead. Rather, they have
been honorably retired. That is
to say, they were admirable
laws in their time and place,
and God’s will was learned
through them.
* * *
The Living Soul of Law
SPHERE are two ways of looking
at any law, or you might say
there are two sides of every law,
the inside and the outside, the soul
and the body as it were. The body,
the outside, is the letter of the law;
the inside or soul of the law is the
spirit or principle of the law.
The body of the law, like the
body of a man, dies; it is not in-
tended to live on and on. But
the soul of the law (if it has
one; some don’t) lives forever.
Take, for instance, that law in
Lev. 19:9, 10. The body of it, the
letter, says: Do not be efficient in
getting in your crops. Leave some
wheat in the field. Leave some
grapes on the vine.
Today that sounds rather stupid,
on the face of it, and no good farm-
er would pay attention to it. But
look at the spirit of that la,w: the
wheat and the grapes were to be
left for “the poor and the stranger.”
There was then no Red Cross, no
bureau of displaced persons, no
traveler’s aid, no family service, no
social security, none of our many
modern agencies for the underpriv-
ileged. Those who had property
were bidden to have a care for
those who had none.
The duty of society to see that
no one starves, the duty of all
to help those in need, that is the
living soul of this law, and it
still breathes in laws of the 20th
century—laws of old age assist-
ance,' maternity assistance, pen-
sion plans and so forth.
The living soul of the Old Testa-
ment laws can be expressed this
way: The love of justice and the
justice of love. The best and wisest
laws today are those which give
this same spirit its fullest and most
practical form.
* * *
Jesus’ Last Word
/T'HE Jews figured out that there
A were in all 613 separate com-
mandments in all the laws com-
bined. They used to have interest-
ing debates as to which of all the
613 commandments was the |most
important.
They came to Jesus with that
well-worn question. Jesus quot-
ed only two laws, one from
Deut. 6:5 and the other from
Lev. 19 U8. Love God, love your
neighbor, he said. All the other
laws depend on these two.
To this day, Christian thinkers
are not entirely agreed as to just
how far Old Testament laws may be
binding on Christians. But all are
agreed on two points: The basic
principle of these laws is always
good, and that fundamental principle
is love.
* * * -
Love Is Not Repealed
'T'HIS is what Christians mean
A when they say that the laws of
God are eternal. We do not mean
that every law between the covers
of the Bible can and should be used
as the law of our land today.
What we do mean is that the
spirit of these laws is immortal,
for the spirit is love, and love
never has been repealed.
Show me a law which helps the
strong at the expense of the weak,
a law which encourages cheating
and selfishness and fighting, and I
will show you a bad law. Show me
a law which encourages and helps
men to deal fairly with one another
and to live together in peace, and
I will show you a good law. Every
law that helps you love your neigh-
bor is a good law; indeed there is
something divine about it, for God
is Love.

And your cares be as light as

Here’s to Gloria and Bub!”

PRESBYTERIAN CIRCLES
The circles of First Presbyterian
Women of the Church met on Mon-
day afternoon at 3 o’clock.
Mrs. Will Evans was hostess to
Circle No. 1, with an attendance of
18. The chairman, Mrs. Sam Meade,
presided and taught the Bible les-
son.
Plans were discussed for the week
of prayer for home missions, Oc-
tober 31 to November 7, at the end
of which time there will be a coy-
ered dish luncheon.
Visitors present were Mrs. Louis
Wied, of Nordheim, Texas, and Mrs.
Zac Smith. A salad plate was
served by the hostess.
Circle No. 2 met at the home of
Mrs. Jim Wiggins, who presided
in the absence of the chairman,
Mrs. W. G. Forgy.
Mrs. O .W. Leeman reported an
article on Presbyterian church ex-
pansion in Oklahoma City, and a
study of the Poetry of the Bible
was taught by Mrs. C. G. Long.
Refreshments were served to 9
members by the hostess, assisted
by Mrs. Garland Collins and Mrs.
Fred Johnson.
FIRST METHODIST SOCIETY
Hawaii was the country studied
by the Woman’s Society of Chris-
tian Service, of the First Metho-
dist Church, on Monday afternoon.
Mrs. Ed Hodge presented the
first in a series of studies from the
book, “On Our Doorsteps,” and
pictures of Hawaiian life, posters
and maps were used by Mrs.
Hodge to illustrate vital facts
about the country.
The worship hour was lead by
Mrs. J. T. Clotfelter, who used the
subject, “The Church at the Cross-
roads,” a church in Honolulu.
On next Monday, Gerald Newby
will show movies of the country
to be studied, which will be Puerto
Rico.
All members of the society are
asked to bring to the meeting next
Monday old felt hats or woolen
sweaters. These will be sent to
Korea to be made into baby shoes
for the needy of that country.
Week of Prayer will again be
observed on Wednesday, October
27, at the church.
This year 44 Texas public school
children will win cash prizes to-
taling $154, announces Marvin Hall,
State Fire Insurance Commission.
The prizes will be given to win-
ners of two contests sponsored an-
nually by the State Fire Insurance
Department. One is the fire pre-
vention slogan contest which ends
November 1, and the other is the
fire prevention poster contest which
ends May 1.
Saying that although the Fir#
Insurance Department was not try-
ing to rival the fabulous contest-
and-prize radio programs, Hall be-
lieves young “Contestants” will
really have to know their fire pre-
vention questions and answers to
win a prize in one of these con-
tests.
Rules for both contests have been
sent to Texas public schools, Hall
urged that teachers see children
follow the rules closely as, for ex-
ample, last year a number of very
good slogans were disqualified be-
cause they exceeded the set 12
words.
“The excellent slogans and pos-
ters that won last year will make
a good but high mark to aim for
this year,” the Commissioner stated.
Limited to students in junior and
senior high schools the slogan con-
test offers $50 in prizes which are
donated by the Texas Safety As-
sociation. First prize is $10; sec-
ond, $7.50; third, $5; fourth, $3.50;
next best 12, each, $2.
Entries in the $104 poster con-
test will be divided into four
groups—primary intermediate, jun-
ior high, high school. Different
rules apply for each division but
prizes will be the same. First is
$7.50; second, $5; third $3.50; next
best four, each, $2.50. Prizes are
donated by Caravens, Dargan and
Company, Houston.
BRIDAL DINNER
Miss Gloria Hinton, bride elect
of James Cullom, was honoree at
a four course dinner given by Miss-
es Joyce and Linda Lane Monday
evening at their home.
The table was laid in white linen
and lighted with pink candles held
in crystal candelabra. A mirrored
centerpiece of wine colored chry-
santhemums was surrounded (by
small corsages which were pre-
sented to the guests as favors at
the conclusion of the dinner. The
hostesses presented the honoree
with a gift.

Kidneys Must
Work Well-
For You To Feel Well
24 hours every day, 7 days every
week, never stopping, the kidneys filter
waste matter from the blood.
If more people were aware of how the
kidneys must constantly remove sur-
plus fluid, excess acids and other waBte
matter that cannot stay in the blood
without injury to health, there would
be better understanding of why the
whole system is upset when kidneys fail
to function properly.
Burning, scanty or too frequent urina-
tion sometimes warns that something
is wrong. You may suffer nagging back-
ache, headaches, dizziness; rheumatio
pains, getting lip at nights, swelling.
Why not try Doan’s Pills? You will
be using a medicine recommended the
country- over. Doan’s stimulate the func-
tion of the kidneys and help them t£
flush out poisonous waste from the
blood. They contain nothing harmful.
Get Doan's today. Use with confidence.
At all drug stores.
