THURSDAY. APRIL 27. 1950 BROOKINGS HARBOR PILOT. BROOKINGS. OREGON LOCAL SINGERS GET THRILLS FROM • PARADE OF QUARTETS HELD AT KLAMATH FALLS' PELICAN THEATRE See Picture On Page One The Klamath Falls Chapter of SPEBSQSA held its third annual Parade of Barbershop Quartets at the Pelican Theatre, Satur day, April 15. It may be that finer music is heard from the concert platform and that finer individual voices may be found in New York’s Metropolitan Op era house but for sheer harmony of voices combined with the at tendant good fellowship of song, in this writer’s opinion, the zen ith has been raised several big notches. The gracious hospitality of the Klamath Falls group could not be excelled. Upon arrival each guest was registered, given a program and a most welcome greeting together with a com pletely informative paper con taining the time and place of the various events. They were then presented with a large sack of Klamath spuds and escoited to 4 heir hotel where proper accom odations had already been re served. The Afterglow, following the evening performance at the theatre, was held at the Willard hotel as was also the Sunday morning breakfast. These two events must be experienced to be appreciated; they could be the highlights of anyone’s gay year and no amount of words could do them justice. The sumptuous food, so lavishly served, the host of attendants to wait upon your every desire, the grand ‘comrad-* ery” of good fellowship and the extravagant parade of entertain' ment with one top quartet fol lowing the other in a continuous succession of pleasing harmony of their own particular brand, creates an occasion set quite apart in one’s memory and which is never to be forgotten. Of the show itself, too great compliments cannot be made.j The Pelican Theatre was entirely sold out for the evening per formance more than a month m advance and the matinee, which was planned only to care for the overflow, showed only part of two rows in the top balcony that , were unoccupied. To describe ir attempt to classify the quartets appearing on this parade of har-; mony woqld be impossible but a complete list is: The Agony Four, Corvallis. Camelia City Four, of Sacra-, mento. Chordsmen, Sacramento. Columbians, Port land. House Bros., Bonanza. Lumber lads, Eugene. Melody Men, Tacoma, Wash. Lake Oswego Four, Oswego. Plungers, Eugene. Sierranaiders, Reno, Nevada. Queen City Four. Seatt'o. uncalled Four, Berkeley, Cal. Are The 10 Commandments Obsolete? Much of the tragedy and sin in the world today can be traced to the fact that many hai'e come to believe that the moral code of the Scriptures has become ob solete and out-moded. The Ten Commandments of God are look ed upon as bfing the product of Moses and are considered as out moded as the ancient kingdom of Israel. However, Moses tells us that the laws set forth in the Penta teuch are not his rulings but are the words spoken by God Him self. (Ex. 20:1). As we study the first five books of the Bible we find four different sets of laws enumerated. We find the CIVIL LAWS of the Jewish theocracy that nat urally were in • effect only as long as the Jewish nation ex isted. (From 1491 B. C. to 63 B. C.). We find the many and va ried CERE MON IA L LA W S. In this group come the laws of sacrifice, the laws of the priest hood, and temple services. and the laws governing the eight an- ^nual sabbaths. These ceremonial laws were instituted after the fall of man in the sacrificial system given to the patriarchs. These are the laws “added because of trans gressions.’’ Gal 3:19. And Paul calls them the shadowy “hand writing of ordinances’’ that are no longer binding upon Chris tians because they were “nailed to the cross.’’ (Col. 2:14-17). Therefore the followers of Christ do not have to sacrifice animals or meat offerings or drink offer ings or keep the eight annual festival sabbaths of the Jews. So two sets of the laws enum erated in the Pentateuch are seen to be no longer binding upon Christians. What about the other two sets? The third group of laws set forth in the Scriptures is the laws of health. These law's, which include the list of clean and un clean meats found in Lev. 11, were given after the fall of man when sin and disease came to this world and, of course, must still apply until sin and disease have been eradicated. The final code of I ws is the MORAL LAW, the Ten Com mandments of Exodus 20. Ir the final words of D. L. Moody. "We call it the Mosiac Law, but it well been said that the com mandments did not originate with Moses, nor were they done away with when the Mosiac Law „as fulfilled in Christ, and many • of its ceremonies and regulations The commandments of God given to Moses in the 21 fount at Horeo are as binding tod ,y as cver.”- D. L. Moody, “Weighed and । Wanting,’’ Pages 14 and 14. Just one text should con’inco us that the Ten Commandments have always been and always will be binding upon mankind. That text is 1 John 3:4 which clearly states “Sin is th^ trans gression of the law.” The law, therefore, must have been in ex istence BEFORE sin, and cer tainly must be in existence to day for where sin exists the law must be there to point it out. As Paul says, “I had not known sin. but by the law.’’ (Rom 7.0 The fact that Jesus had t come down to this world a'd Jie on the cross nroves beuon- the shadow of a doubt that the law of God could not be abolished. If God could have spared Him self the sacrifice of His only be gotten Son by eliminating the law, certainly He would have chosen this easier course. But it couldn’t be done. And what God could not do, how does man ex pect to accomplish ? The law of God is still in ex istence and sadly enough sin is, too. But the way to get rid of sin is not to try to do away with the law’ which points it out, but to accept Jesus as our Savior from sin and allow’ Him to purge us from every scarlet stain. To repudiate the Decalogue. To at tempt to abolish the Tend Com ments of God and declare them outmoded is to pervert the gos pel and deny the doctrine cf Christ. Seventh-Day Adventists do not attempt to earn their salvation by keeping the commandments. We realize that the one great purpose of the Decalogue is to point out sin in the life and to show us our great need of Jesus as a complete savior from sin. But we do try to keep His Com mandments to show our love for Him as He asks us to do in John 14:15. The promise to Commandment keepers is found in Rev. 22:14, “Blessed are they that do His commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.’’ Would you like to know more about this promise and how to claim it as your own? Just drop us a card today and ask for our leaflet entitled “God’s Eternal Ten Words.” Seventh-Day Adventist Church BROOKINGS OREGON Webfoot Four, Portland Of special interest on the pro gram was the appearance of Bob and Alice Perkins and the Brook, ings Chapter chorus. Alice andi Bob stoppexi the show’ cold at ¡ both performances and were the hit of the Afterglow with their inimitable pantomime. Brook ings chorus did itself proud and received “tremendous” applause after each well-executed num ber. Though smaller in number than the Klamath Falls chorus ol sixty-odd voices, the Brook ings group had plenty of volume when it wanted to pour it on but specialized particularly in uni son of delivery and intricate ar rangements. Much of the success of any such attraction as this one lies’ in the hands of the master of ceremonies and this was never more true than at this quartet parade' at Klamath Falls. One could comb the continent and never find a more perfect per sonality for such a spot than Al Pearce. He is remembered by everyone for his season after season on the radio as Al Pearce and his gang for the unique, in terest ng character he created for that show in the person of “Elmer Blurt” the door-to-door salesman who would knock, then say, “Nobody home here today, I hope, I hope, I hope. I hope.” His easy manner, gracious intro ductions, bright stories, with just a touch of home-spun wit, and his unrestrained enthusiasm for the job at hand won him a new’ spot in everyone’s heart and tac itly put a stamp on every ticket of guaranteed entertainment.
