GOLDEN TEXT—Know ye hot that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God?—I Corinthians 6:9, "International Temperance Sun­ day—October 29, 1939." Let U? join with people the world over in mak­ ing our protest against the sale and use of intoxicating liquors. If ev­ ery Christian would declare himself on this matter now, there would be a tremendous impact made on. this universal problem and notice would be served on the liquor industry, on politicians, and on unbelieving mankind that Christianity intends to do something about it. We are far too docile and quiet on such mat­ ters, when we ought to speak up for God and for our couniry. The lesson portions may seem a little unrelated, but study of them yields three important truths re­ garding the use* of wine and strong drink. I. Lovers of Wine and Strong Drink Destroy Their Nation (Mic, 2:9-11). That statement may surprise .some of our self-styled patriots who like to wave the flag and speak swelling words of devotion to our country and who at the same time love their intoxicating drinks. Mi­ cah rightly points out that his peo­ ple had come to the place where they, chose men to be'prophets be­ cause they encouraged tile people in the use of wine and strong drinks (v. 11). They must -therefore expect the result which follows, namely, the destruction of the home and of the nation (w . 9, 10). We are all familiar with the claim that prohibition retarded the ad­ vancement of our nation and that its repeal would bring a return to higher moral standards, reduce crime, bring in prosperity, etc. The facts reveal that none of these have dome true. Crime has. increased by leaps and bounds under repeal, a situation so well known as to call for no proof. Moral standards have gone rapidly downward with the free use of liquor. If you don’t believe that, ask a policeman what goes on in- our taverns, or just keep your eyes half open and you can see for yourself. Just now much is being made of the many jobs which are supposed to have been created by the liquor industry. What are the facts? The Christian Herald tells us, "A million dollars spent for furniture would employ 339 persons, spent for boots and shoes 33B persons, for home furnishings 191 persons, for booze just 95 persons." And remember that jobs making the stuff that de­ stroys other jobs, are not worth hav­ ing. The m an who drinks is helping to destroy his nation. ' II. Christians Do Not Drink, Be­ cause They Look for Christ’s Return (Luke 21:29-31, 34-30). If we are not "looking for that blessed hope and the glorious ap­ pearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ” (Titus 2:13), we should consider whether any of the. things mentioned in these verses have gained control in our lives: the cares of this life, surfeiting, or drunkenness. But why speak to Christians about that? Surely they do not' use intoxicants. Sadly enough, some do. Taking advantage of the fact that the Bible speaks of temperance rather -than of absti­ nence, they seek to justify an in­ dulgence to theSe'things which they (and their neighbors) know is dis­ honoring to God and destructive'Of their testimony and usefulness ta the community. Christian, Jesus is coming again I He may come today! In fact, the fig tree (w..29, 30), which is the nation Israel, has long been shooting forth new branches and bearing green leaves. The indications are that Christ is coming soon. Are you -ready to meet Him? III. Drunkards and Other Sinners Need to be Saved (I Cor. 0:9-11). Being drunk is not a joke, evt* though thoughtless people laugh and cartoonists and writers of jokes use such unfortunates as their stock in trade. Drunkenness is a foul end sinful thing, classed by the apostle ‘Haul with the lowest of human vices. Review the list as it is given in vefses 9 and .10 (and by the way, notice that covetousness is men­ tioned there too) and place drunk-, enness in its proper classification. Call it what it really is—sin, and then call on the One who can save from sin and then you will be washed from your sin, sanctified, and justified in the name of the Lord Jesus (v. 11). In Christ there is hope for the drunkard, A spiritual revival is the real 'answer to tlv liquor problem. Let us seek to pr< rfiote it even as we a t the sarr time give ourselves to an intelligc and constructive battle against t! destructive force in the Ufa of o nation. Subscribe To M E HERALD Dr. H. N.

U. liW H H iiH im iH iiiu m m iH M tiin i uumifjiiefr' Temperance Verdicts of Great Men On an ancient Egyptian tomb it is said .there is an inscription to the effect, "His earthly tenement was shattered by beer and wine, and his spirit departed before it was called for." Buddha about 550 B. C. taught: "Drink not liquors that intoxicate and disturb the reason.” Chaucer, in the fourteenth century observed that "character and shame depart when wine comes in." Abraham Lincoln said:; ‘Liquor might have defenders, but no defense! Whether or not the world would be vastly benefited by a total and final banishment from it of all intoxicating drinks, seems to me not an open ques­ tion.’’ Gladstone wrote; “Th# ravages of drink are greater than those of war, pestilence, and famine combined. Cardinal Gibbons is reported to have said: “The great curse of t.b« laboring man is intemperance. I t has brought more desolation to the wags earner than strikes or war or sick­ ness or death. I t has caused little children to be hungry and cold and to grow up among evil associations. It has broken up more homes and wreck­ ed more lives than any other cause.’’ Sir Wilfred Grenfell said: "Alcohol has wrecked more .lives, starved W#r* children, and murdered more women than any other single factor,” Thomas A- Edison, to the end of Ms life, maintained: " I still feel that pro­ hibition is the greatest experiment made to benefit man.” For Sale—Six Poland China Gilt*.

Parents of School Children Beware of Bigelew Amendment It Win Impoverish Tour Schools « The proposed amendment to-the Ohio Constitution provides pensions of $50.00 per month to all persons 60 years of age or more, and.contains a provision for a special land . tax and a special income tax to pay the bill. The present Old Age Pension law operating in Ohio, furnishes the statistics from which to estimate approximately, the number of pensioners under the proposed amendment, and the total costs thereof. If adopted, the proposed pension amendment will cost Ohio in excess of 300 million dollars a year, in fact nearer 400million dollars a year, or twice the total present annual income of the State of Ohio. The special land taxes and the special income taxes, provided for by the amendment will raise about 1-3 of the necessary costs, and the balance will have to be paid out of the general taxes, which means large tax increases. r ■■ ’ i ■ , ■ The schools over the State of Ohio,,are having a sufficiently difficult financial problem at the present time. The proposed pension plan will dip so deeply into state revenues, that the public schools will necessarily suffer a very serious reduction in income. You Teachers and Parents of school chil dren, who are building the generation to come, should not permit the interest's of that future generation to be sacrificed in order to pay pensions beyond the reasonable ability of the tax payers. Pensions are important, and the State of Ohio, with the assistance of the United States government, is now paying ol<*age pensions. However, the increased number of pensioners by Reason of the reduc­ tion in the age at which the pensions may be drawn, arid further, the increased amount of the proposed pensions, would seriously cripple the State’s finances, and the State of Ohio cannot undertake the new pension plan without interfering with public school re- isources, and other public interests of the citizens, 'Be Sure to vote NO on the Bigelow Amendment. Attend the election November 7tli next and record your opposition to a sel­ fish and unreasonable proposition, which will unquestionably financially cripple the public school system. Vote NO for the sake of our schools. Signed Signed HARRY D. SMITH . CEO, H.
