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

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.

Knowledge of Poisonous Plants
Will Help You Enjoy Vacation
By ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer
. Vacation-bound?' 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.

testimony, chiefly from other
members of the family to show
he was belligerent and prone to
threaten physical violence against
them, particularly when under
the influence of liquor. ,
While the defendant, much
smaller instature than his par

the blows which caused his fath

defending himself from an unpro
