Xenia, O. Sale Conducted by Weikert & Gordon, r> A high and ennobling concept of the value of human life is an impor­ tant element in Christian thought. The Word of God- always regards human life as sacred—a gift of God to be used for His glory, never to be exploited for gain or destroyed at will. This important truth needs con­ stant reiteration in a social order which is so shortsighted and sinful that it' will permit the destruction of man through the sale and use of alco- ■holic beverages. The lesson has a real .application to the. liquor prob­ lem. I. God Honored Mad (Gen. 1:27, 28). • It 'should be of primary interest and concern to discover what, the Maker and Lord thinks of Hi^crea- tion, man. He knows what in in man and if we learn, of Him may come to evaluate man' aright. 1. He Made Him in His Own Image-(v. 27). The teaching of Scripture make:: it clear that this image was noi anything material or physical, but rather a likeness of personality. A.1 God is a personal^ moral, intelligent Being, so is man. V ■ , How tragic then that man will no only reject that grace, but will sub ject his God-given personality to th< narcotic and destructive influence oi alcohol. ' ' . Not only did God make man in Hi: image, but— . . 2. He Gave i Him . Power anc Authority (v, 28). ~ * This is the very thing man is seek ing, and here we learn that the only j. One who had a right to give it—God I Himself—bestowed it updn man. i Having dominion over the entirt. ■ earth, man is in a place of responsi bility, not only for his own mora’ choices, but for the welfare of .oth. ers. Think that over as it relates . to the ever-growing liquor problem i II. Man Should Honor Man (Matt ' 12:11, 12; Rom., 14:19-21). ! Since God has such a high re- gard: for ,man, it ■ is clear that we ought to have real respect for ou: 4 fellow man. “ Man’s inhumanity tc :• man” is often declared- to be. the world's greatest difficulty. It would not be so if God’ s Word were obeyed. Man would learn that— • 1. He Should Recognize His Fellow j Man’s Value (Matt. 12:11, 12). f- Property . values ■are so well tc f the front in the thinking of all, that ! it requires no argument to convince 1 anyone that a sheep that has faller into a pit should be rescued. Bui ' the sad thing is that the man who i would run for help to rescue a sheep j in that predicament will hardly cast !' an interested glance at the drunk in the gutter,, or lose a few .minutes i sleep over the girls who are going to hell by way of our countless tav­ erns. - Tfhe plain facF is that we* do not regard,, a man as of more value than a sheep. Many a neighbor­ hood has been stirred to, .angry re­ prisal over the poisoning of a pet dog, but will, let the liquor dealer poison men and women—all for a small license fee. The man who loves his fellow man POINTS THROTTLE BUTTER SALES FOR OLEO— Deficit o f points in the ration books o f consumers are throttling -down butter sales. Enough butter appears to be reaching key markets to supply the limited demand. Effectiveness of the oleomargine sale's drive in con­ verting more consumers permanently to the use of substitutes is thought to be an important factor in balancing supply o f butter to demand. Washington Letter . (Continued from tint page) * before the Senate, As- Chairman of the Steering Committee Mr. •Taft e- merges as'the most-powerful and po­ tent Republican Member o f the upper body of Congress. knows that— 2. He Should Sacrifice .for His Fel­ low Man’s Good (Rom. 14:19-21), Paul here states a high principle of Christian consideration. He makes clear that man is his broth­ e r ’s keeper and must do nothing which will tempt his brother to do that which will harm him, III. Man Should Honor, Himself (I Cor; 6:19, 20). Man is told not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think (Rom. 12:3), and that is good counsel. But at the same time he ought to think as highly of. his own being as God does. He should rec­ ognize that— 1, His Body Is the Temple of the Holy Spirit (v, 19). , The Bible teaches that the mo­ ment a man believes in Christ his body becomes the duelling place of tht> Holy Spirit, That means that he1 must never take that body in any place (such as a tavqrn) to do any­ thing or partake of anything (like intoxicants) 'Which would dishonor the Holy Spirit of God. V 2, He Belongs to God (v, 20). Meiji have bedn given - a' free will by God. He ■Has 'given lljem the right of self-determination. That does not abrogate God’s right io ,manfs_dcvotion and love. The fact that we are free to choose should make us the. more deter­ mined that the right choice should be made—that we shall glorify God in our bodies, which are His.' Does it take even, a moment’s thought to tell u.s that the violation of that body (and every bit of scien­ tific evidence proves it to be a 'viola­ tion) by the usd,of alcohol is not only disobedient, but sinful rebellion against God. • ■ ■* NOTICE OF APPOINTMENT Late last week reports were re­ ceived in Washington o f another glor­ ious achievement o f Ohio’s, famous fighting Division— - the 37th. The Heroes of Guadacahal, New Georgia and Munda were sent into battle to labHsh a beachhead on Bougainville Island in the Northwest Solomons, a- gainst strong Japanese forces en­ trenched on a ridge. The Ohio boys took their objective, Jrft©r killing . more than a thousand of the enemy, and then held their position against a number of vicious counter-attacks. According to reports, hundreds of Japanese dead were piled up in front of the 37th positions when the battle finally ended.after, .several days of hard lighting, described as one o f the toughest yet fought in the South Pa­ cific.area. The men'of the 37th are real veterans, and no unit o f the Army has surpassed them in either fighting ability or cold courage. Their state and nation salute and honor them. Note—There are numerous Greene county boys in the 37th division.-r-Ed- itor. Stat* af OH IO , Jeitpfc T , T«Hrvaaaa, AuAtoK CraKata % i M f e t l l n Super- •vlaian at nubile.
