F lying A F lag Mery 4, 1952 Objects: A piece o f white cloth tied to a stick. Lesson: W h at does this kind o f a Y es, the people o f all nations know the m eaning o f a white flag. It is a universal sign by which the defeated indicate that they are w illin g to su r render. This is a flag which all nations are supposed to respect. It has been fa lse ly used, how ever, by some who wanted to catch the enemy unprepared fo r the attack. F o r this reason those who are su rrendering are expected to come w ith their hands raised to show that they do not have any concealed weapons. flag mean in time o f w a r? “ It is a sign o f surrender.”
tion s: “ Gee— a m inced fo rm o f Jesus, used in m ild oaths. G olly— a substitute fo r God. Gosh— a softened fo rm o f God, used in a m ild oath.” M acM illan’s M odern D iction a ry: “ D arn— m ild form o f damn, damnation, damned.” I f anyone has been gu ilty o f using God’s name falsely, even b y the use o f slang, he should confess it as a sin and n ot do it an y more. May 11, 1952 A B anana S undae and A S unday B anana Objects: A banana and a kn ife. (P re pare the banana by inserting a threaded needle under th e skin at one o f the ridges and passing it between the skin and the core, brin gin g the needle out at the next ridge. Use a thread long enough so th at the knotted end w ill be le ft p ro je ctin g tw o or three inches from the first hole. In sert the needle in the opening made in com ing out, and con tinue to the n ext ridge and around the banana in this manner, until the circle is completed and the startin g place is reached. Then pull both ends o f the thread out the same hole, and the core o f the banana w ill be cut. Make this circle six times at regu lar intervals, and thus cut the banana into seven pieces w ith ou t rem oving the skin.) Lesson: I have never seen the inside o f this banana, but I am sure that it is different from any you have ever seen. When God created the w orld, He divided each w eek into seven days, ju st as i f I should take a kn ife and cu t the banana into seven pieces. (P la ce the kn ife near the banana in six places, as i f you in tended to cut it, but do n ot let it touch the banana.)

D o you know th at w ords are like flags? They have certain m eanings. It is possible to use w ords falsely, even as some have been known to use the white flag falsely, not intending to sur render. In Leviticus 19:12 w e have a state m ent rega rdin g the fa lse use o f God’s name. W e read, “ A nd ye shall not swear by m y name falsely, neither shalt thou profan e th e name o f thy G od: I am the L ord.” A ga in , “ Thou shalt not take the name o f the L ord th y God in va in ; fo r the L ord w ill n ot hold him guiltless th at taketh his name in v a in ” (E x . 2 0 :7 ). The name o f God is supposed to be used in w orship, p ra y er and praise. P eople who use God’s name in sw earing are gu ilty o f takin g H is name in vain. M any people take G od’s name in vain w ithout realizin g w hat th ey are doing. Some common slang w ords are form s o f p rofan ity.
