Superintendent Bob Lindsey Jr., was
told.
Mr. Lindsey called attention to
the fact that all colleges and uni-
versities which have been operat-
ing under the “wartime semester
rule” will discontinue that program
after March this year. Therefore,
any veteran or civilian student wish-
ing to enter college may enter at the
beginning of the semster opening in
March, otherwise they will have to
wait for the opening of the regular
term. Other information may
secured at Mr. Lindsey’s office.

(SMITH LUMBER COMPANY. '
to demonstrate the reality of the
faith professed in the church, and
to show the child that Christianity
really counts in the ordinary experi-
ences of life.
Three things appear in our lesson
as characterizing the religion of the
home.
I. Worship (vv. 4, 5).
Twice a day the orthodox Jew re-
peats the words of these verses:
namely, at the time qf prayer, morn- i
mg and night. They remind him of
his personal rcdatio"ship to God, and
they recall one of God’s primary
reasons for calling Israel to be his
people. They vvei i to be a national
witness to the one true God in the
midst of the alma-j universal wor-
ship of many gods They were to
stand for monotheism in the midst
of polytheism.
So important i the cumn’cte de-
votion of man—and that brings in
the whole family—to God that when
Jesus was asked what was the
greatest of all commandments (see
Mark 12.23-31), he named this pas-
sage together with Leviticus 19.18.
Nothing should take precedence
over the true worship of God in our
hearts, and in the hearts of all those
we hold dear m our households. The
Eternal One, the Source of Life,
the All-Powerful One, ho is “our
God” (v. 4) and he looks to us for
complete and constant devotion to
him. Let us give it!
II. Instruction (vv. 6-9).
It was not enough that these words
should be repeated in some regular
or formal worship, but they wrere to
be taught to the children in the home
with all faithfulness and diligence—
and by the parents.
We are far too eager to delegate
the teaching of our children to oth-
ers. In religious matters it is the
church and the Sunday school which
are responsible. Many parents do
not even take their boys and girls to
the house of God. They just send
them. Mark it well, such parents
are delinquent in their duties to God
and to their families.
But our vital point is this—it is
the business of the home to teach
religion, to do it regularly, and to
make it a normal and natural part
of daily life.
This is a matter of great signifi-
cance. The faith which we profess
in the church must be effectively
brought into the home. It is not
enough to carry a Bible on Sunday.
It should be in use in the home
throughout the week; not only in
family worship, but in the incidentals
of daily life.
The family altar has gradually
disappeared, and it is regrettable
that it has, for the testimony of gen-
erations indicates that in family
worship some of the most useful men
and women of all ages have received
the direction of life which made
them great for God.
III. Remembrance (vv. 10-12).
Israel had a history full of the
magnificent mercies of God. In the
day when, by his help and blessing
they were to be established in their
land, they were to recall his bless-
ings and recognize his goodness.
There are few, if any, more pow-
erful incentives to faith and coura-
geous living than the remembrance
of past blessings. To, recall how God
made it possible for ordinary men
and women to, by faith, subdue ! 7-
doms, quench the fires of pei^ na-
tion, turn back the armies of ah
to become strong in the mid.
weakness (read Heb. 11) is to r
one ready for the battles of in
Every family has its dark
trying days, its experiences u
rock one back on his heels in a
ishment and fear--and in the C
tian family God has always
the answer—the solution to e
problem, the provider for t
need. Keep such memories fre

Help them to a great faith in a
great Saviour and you have given
them something more precious than
all the riches of all the earth.
