JUDGE FAVORS ONE SEN
TENCE, YEAR TO LIFE
HARTLAND, Mich (UD Ira W.
Jane, presiding judge of the Wayne
county circut court in Detroit, believes
judges should be allowed to make only
one penal sentence against convicted
criminals one year life.
The judges role should be ended
with the conviction of the accused
person, he told the Michigan probation
convention here. Disposition of the
case should be left to trained probation
officers. The state parole board, in
stead of the sentencing: judge, should
decide when imprisonment should be
terminated, he contended.
Jane said society's method of handl
ing criminals, based on the old Anglo
Saxon doctrine of "retribution or rec
ompense," has been outmoded by mod
ern parole and probation theories,
which hold that the criminal should
be rehabilitated not punished. He
said, however, that protection of so
ciety demands that certain offenders
be institutfonalizc'd permanently.

"Reverence for God"
Ex. 20:7; Math. 5:33-37; Math.
12:33-37.
One of the besetting sins of all
cge8 has been irreverence for God;
all classes and ages indulge in this
sin. While we speak in the lesson,
especially of the name of God and its
misuse, we would call attention to
another phare of irreverence, and
that is the house of God the church
building which is dedicated to his
service; but rfotice to what irrever
end use it is put plays, entertain
ments, bazaars, lectures, shows, the
atricals loud and boisterous be
havior and talking, to which the
preachers set a bad example.
In this respect the Catholic
churches set us a good example. The
noise is oft so great that the an
nouncing of the opening hymn is
not heard. Such conduct is an in
sult to God; such people are not in
a worshipful mood. The saxne scenes
are enacted at the close of such
"service," which it never was. Let
us teach reverence for the house of
God. (See Ecle. 5:1). This com
mandmcnt i3 repeated in Deut. 5:11.
The first commandment set forth the
absolute uniqueness of God; not to
worshipany other God. The second
commandment deals with the sub
ject of the manner of worship no
images were to be tolerated. ' The
third commandment continues to
dwell on the sacredness of the re
lationship that should exist between
God and man. Man is warned about
hi3 speech, that he may not take
God's name in vain. The "Name"
here stands for God himself, not
titles. It expresses all his attributes.
His name is taken in vain, when
used in supporting a false state
ment, a sin which is known as per
jury. Perjury is the abyss of moral
crime. Recall Simon Peter's be
tiayal when he "swore" he did not
know the Lord. Peter not only lied,
but he actually dared to call God
as a witness that he was speaking
the truth. The marvel is ihat God
allowed Peter to live five minutes
alter such a terrible crime.
Men do not use the name of their
they enjoyed a family dinner ,.nd
gathering. Those present were.Jamep
M. Dunbar and wife of Auburn, who
were accompanied by D. C. Dunbar
and family. D. C. Dunbar is a son
of J. M. Dunbar, also Mrs. Carl D.
Quinton and daughter Ethel of Mc
Cook, Miss Ethel teaching there,
with Quinton Palmer making com
pletion of the merry party.

friends to swear by. But men use
the name of God who they do not
believe in, and who they say does
not exist. Such acts are absurd," to
say the least. Man uses God's name
in vain by telling stories and Jokes
in which the name of God is ridi
culed. God will not hold him guilt
less who takes his name in vain
punishment is sure to follow!
Jesus interprets the third com
mandment. Whenever man calls
upon God to witness for him, he
arouses suspicion that his cause is
weak. The man who establishes a
r.amo for veracity and integrity need
but to say yes or no that is suffi
cient. No one has any right to
swear by anything, for they do not
belong to him, either by heaven,
earth, Jerusalem nor his head these
oaths were common among the JewB.
But. did Jesus forbid to take an oath?
By no means. God himself sware to
Abraham. (See Gen. 22:16; Acts
2:30; Hcb. 3:11).
Jesus himself used an oath. (Math.
26:64). There are times and occa
sions when it is necessary to swear,
a seen in Deut. 6:13; 10:20; Jer.
4 2; Ps. 63:11). It would seem that
Christ was referring to common con
versation of men, in the light of O.
T. teaching and N. T. practice, our
Lord did not by these words mean
to prohibit taking an oath in civil
and cclcsiastical courts; if all men
were absolutely honest, such oaths
would not be necessary. A common
falacy is here exposed of man's say
ings: "You cannot Judge others,
and you have no right to judge
others." Jesus says: "The tree is
known by its fruit." The man who
uses foul and dirty language has a
foul and dirty heart. Clean the foun
tain and the speech will be clean.
The last part of our lesson proves
the aforesaid.
The critics of Jesus attributed the
miracle of Jesus to the devil, which
ie an absurd statement. The warning
of Jesus against "idle words" for
which men will be held responsible,
should be heeded. What a record
will confront most of us! See that
the record is blotted out through the
blood of Jesus.
