When the word came that Uriah had been killed, David took Beth Sheba, the man’s wife and made her his own. So it was that David turned murderer. Now came Nathan the prophet and showed David how great was his guilt. The 51st Psalm tells the king's sorrow and re- pentence. Now to have peace of heart a lamb or other sacrifice must be slain, that his Bin be covered. Said God, “I have given you the blood upon the altar to make a covering for your sins. “So it was that the blood of lambs slain on Jewish altars, covered their sins of old. Then in the fulness of time, God himself offered up a lamb. “Behold the Lamb of God that taketh away the sins of the world.” Believe that the blood of Christ cleansed away your sins and God remem bers them against you no more. When you come into belief, the Lord indwells you with his Spirit. That is the new birt’n. He is now your heavenly father. Old things pass away All things become new. Is secret prayer Mrs. Hughes Honored By Birthday Surprise The kind of weather which we are experiencing now makes doubly emphatic the teachings of the Keep Oregon Grdeen asso ciation and that is: Use extreme care with burning material when in forest areas. Hot days like those of the last week or so make “care” a highly important word that cannot be ignored. To follow out that highly nec essary practice of caution when temperatures are such that the danger of fire is greatly in creased, brings forth another thought on the subject. “Care” to be moot effective, must be developed as a habit that is prac ticed with little or no thought when the need arises. “Care” as a habit cannot be turned on and off like the kitchen water fau cet. Habits do not work that way. Yet it is evident that, in or der to Keep Oregon Green, ev eryone who drives the highways or who has any business in any area where fire may destroy property must have that habit of ca>e as the first requisite for the prevention of fire. A wealth of information about losses by fire and precautions to take in the control of it are continually being mentioned but there are still people who forget. They have not learned the necessity of care in highly inflammable areas. To illustrate, one home owner on Stoney Point reports that a small fire started near his home but a few days ago from a cigarette tossed from a car. The person tossing that cigar ette either has not developed the habit of care or refuses to ac knowledge the danger of throw ing lighted cigarettes away at any time the inclination strikes him. Oregon has a law which for bids throwing away burning ma terial but the penalty is light. Why not increase the penalty and enforce this law strictly over the entire year.
