O SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON ,Jhe Linking- of God With Man Is the Intelligent Basis of True Religion Scripture: Genesis By WILLIAM E. GILROY. D. D. "God saw everything that He had made, and, behold, it ivas very good." This verse in Gene sis 1:31 is an excellent keynote for this lesson. If we could see creation as God saw it, we, too, would know that it is very good. Wc see it marked by what man has done, to him self, to his fellowmen, and even to the world in which he lives. With infinite rapacity for build ing beautifully and well, he has been tofi'oftcn content to' live"" in hovels, or to let others live there. There are problems associated with the ugly, and cruel, and evil things in the world. Tennyson wrote of "Nature red in tooth and claw," though he wrote, also, of the' trust that "somehow good will be the final goal of ill": "That nothing walks with aim less feet, That not one life shall be de stroyed; Or cast as rubbish to the void, When God hath made the pile complete." However these things may be, this lesson bids us contemplate God's joy in creation, and the groat and beautiful things that God has provided for man. Bit ter controversies have raged around the Genesis story of crea tion, but we should not allow these to mar for us the beauty of this poem of creation, or to ob scure in any way its essential truth, which is: 1. That mind, and purpose,' and creative will RATION CALENDAR Processed Foods: T3 1. n. i HTl "injK tsiue stamps through S2 valid through Junt 30. Blue stamps T2 through X2 valid through July 31.

Chapters I and 2 are back of the universe. The world didn't just happen. "In the beginning, God." 2. That the creative process was a bringing of order out of chaos. Law and order are of the very essence of God's work and will for man. The Genesis writer, with mag nificent vision, faith, and daring, links the Creator with man, made in the image and likeness of God, with the capacity of being him self a maker, or creator. "God made man in His own image." "Every house is builded by some man, but He that built all things is God." This linking of man with God is logical and sound, and it is the intelligent basis of all true religion. It is a common place of our faith today; but suid iy it was an inspired man who first perceived and uttered it. When one thinks or speaks of the beauty of God's world, one does not know where to begin. First is the beauty of that' order and law by which the universe is upheld planets moving so truly in their orbit that astronomers can define every movement for years ahead. Next is" the beauty of the moral law, the things that pertain to man's integrity and re lationship to his fellowmen. And manifold is the beauty of man's environment skies and clouds, the starry heavens, green fields, and gorgeous trees and flowers', vast oceans, and pure rippling brooks, the beauty that man him self has created in art and liter ature, and in all the works of his hands that mark his kinship with God.

Save your skin the unhappy consequences that can come from a'.brusti with poison ivy, sumac or oak by arm ing' yourself with information as to- what this triple-threat looks, likfe :and' giving it a big, wide berth. 7. As good as detailed' illustrations for identification are these de scriptions of this poisonous trio supplied by New York City's de partment of health. Watch for These 1 Poison ivy? Is a shrub or vine that- twines around tree trunks or runs along old stone walls, has leaf-groups of three which change from a ripe greeri in the summer to a brilliant russet in the fall. It bears waxy white berries. Poison sumac, like ivy, bears branches of white berries and its leaves turn scarlet in the fall, but foliage is characterized by rows of leaflets stemming in pairs from stalks sheathed with fine, non-sticky fuzz. This enemy usu ally lurks in low marshlands and swamps. Poison oak grows in typical clusters of three leaves, resem bling oak leaves, which- sprout from shrub or vine that some times weaves its noxious' way among branches of trees. No1 Sure Protection Warned that nothing has been formulated to keep you safe from these plants if their irritating sap touches your skin, a doctor cites expediencies' to use which' may help to stave off a rash. The measures? Use three or four lathers of soap and particular diligence in scrubbing fingernails and skin' between the fingers. Other wise precautions to take, he says, are a' shampoo to wash out any poison which may have reached your hair, and a bath fol lowed by an alcohol rubdown. If, in spite of all you do, skin reddens or develops blisters, the wise thing to do is to consult your doctor. You can give yourself temporary relief by bathing irri tated areas in hot water or milk of magnesia, calamine lotion or a solution of epsom salts; using one tablespoonful to' one cup of Watar. What you shouldn't use, he warns, ard cold cream or oint ment, which will only spread the poison.
