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.”

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.
