Driver’s Seat Is Place For Homo Sapiens In New Era Only Self-Sovereignty of the Fit and Ready Can Meet Changing Times Adequately— Frank Cautions About the Menace of the Use of Intoxicants.

By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Sometimes we have our doubts about “homo sapiens”—especially the "sapiens”. It is not easy, in the ' light of the day’s news, to make ’ out a complete case for human wls dom. Man's capacity for playing the fool Is one of his outstanding ( haracteristlcs. He alone of all living creatures, has been given a, reasoning mind. He has been equipped as lord of creation, and of him self. All things have been put un , der his feet. Yet man's folly passes all under-' standing. His cunning and skill and invention have not kept him from producing a social order full . of strife, uncertainty and fear. Os ‘ recent days, he - has revealed in Ethiopia, Spain and China, a capacity for sheer, brutish cruelty that cannot be matched in jungle life. He has destroyed his own forests and fields. In his proud cities he has tolerated living conditions below all reasonable human levels. In public affairs he is dominated by confusion and petty partisanship nd self-interest. No; it is not a pretty picture we see when we look upon boastful "homo sapiens” abdicating his sapiency. What he does to his own mind and body is even worse than what he does to the world in which he lives. Without passing judgment upon what he puts into his mind, we pause to consider the way he treats his own physical powers. Any school boy can tell him the evil effects of strong drink upon every aspect to his nature He himself, if not a complete moron. knows that he needs to conserve all his powers for their highest use. Yet he deliberately down his throat gin and whiskey and mixed drinks, bartering his future welfare for a momentary sensation. If that is intelligence, I do not understand the meaning of the word. Man was meant to set on the driver’s seat in life. Nevertheless, multitudes prefer to clamber ut>wn and lie in the roal. letting circumstances and conditions ride over them. Surely, the gravest error that man commits —and it is the parent of most other errors is to abdicate self-sovereignty, to cease to be master of his own soul. Mortals were not meant to be whipped through the years; hut to wield the whip of personality over mere things. Before ever a person can become, for instance, a drunkard, he must throw into tlie dust, and trample his own crown of self sovereignty. When Russia Was Drunk In the old days, under the czars, the masses of the Russian people, the peasants, were sodden in drink. Thus they drowned out the consciousness of their suffering. Then .the czar tried to improse prohibition, and the nation sobered up. Revolution quickly followed; for ;no people in their senses could submit to the Russian peasants lot. Manhood is submerged by strong drink; it only emerges in power when free'and self-controll-ed. The person who seeks to drown his troubles in liquor, always drowns something more important than his troubles. Sound sense, as well as Scripture, dictates that men and women i should be healthy in their bodies | and free in their spirits. Mark I makes clear in his biography of : Jesus how large a part of the MasI ter’s time was spent in making people well. He was a gospel of i wholeness, as well of holiness. Paul in our Lesson text lifts the truth to a high level when he declares, “Know ye not that ye are a temple of God? ... for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye." Again, he says, in our Lesson. ”1 beseech you therefore; brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service.” (R. V.) Paul of- : ten used his strongest language In dealing with the sin of drunkenness. I wonder what he would say i if he were alive today. !«»*•»»»»* » * * ••»«** •The Sunday School Lesson for March 20 is, “Keeping the Body Strong.” (A Personal Aspect of Temperance.)—Mark 6:53-56; Judges 12:14; I Cor. 3:16-17; Rom. 12:1-2. i »»*•»♦**• ]♦♦«•»»♦♦♦ 1

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT SATURDAY, MARCH 12,1938.

One Man s Story Only yesterday I heard from one lot his friends the story of a man I who illustrates this Lesson. He : was an office man in one of the | | big corporations, and his efficlen I cy had advanced so rapidly that he became affluent. His new social status brought him into the cocktail zone; and he somt had the habI it. He became a regular drinker, and his work showed it. The office ! cautioned him several times, but | without effect. Then, with great j forbearance, his superiors gave | him a month’s vacation, in which to straighten up. with a clear warnI ing of what would happen if he I did not. In vain: the man returned to his post still a slave to drink, and was fired. Now he has, after great hardship I got a job at physical labor. He is down at the bottom of the ladder, with only uncertain hope of rising. His beautiful and talented wife, and their children are brought to' poverty — all because the bright young man had not sufficient sense and self-control to keep away from the drink. And that story is being duplicated every day of the year. An Old Enemy Shakespears expressed the sentiment of ages when he exclaimed, ”O God, that men should put an enemy in their mouths to steal away their brains!” In the same play of Othello he apostrophised: “O thou invisible spirit of wine, if thou hast no name to be known by I let us call thee devil!” Admonitions against strong drink are found in the literture of all ages, even to remotest antiquity. ’ Man knows better than to enslave himself: what he lacks is self-real-ization and self-control. He does ot hold his self-sovereignty above l the usages of his companions. He : is afraid to appear singular—although individuality is the Divine stamp upon men. His sapiency is not equal to the consciousness that "Everybody's Doing It” is the national anthem of hell. These days of business recession and of world crisis challeneg thinking men and women to make ready for an uncertain future by serious attention to their bodies and to their spirits. Mind and health weakened by booze must pay a tragic price in the days to come. The message of this opening year of 1938 to every person with intelligence is, "Be fit and ready." SEVEN SENTENCE SERMONS It is one mark of a superior mind to understand and be influenced by the superiority of others. —Harriet Beecher Stowe. * » ♦ Chance is but She pseudonym ot God for those particular cases which He does not choose to subscribe openly with his own signalmanual.— Coleridge. » « * They might not need me— Yet they might— I’ll let my heart be Just in sight; A smile so small As mine, might be Precisely their Necessity. Emily Dickinson * » * You can never escape a duty by not acknowledging it.—Dr. Alexander Mackenzie. » * » He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. —Psa. 91:1.

As his proclamation was read | over the radio by Dr. Paul Joseph I Goebbels, propaganda minister, the i fuehrer already was at Munich. ; birthplace of the Nazi government, ’ 40 miles from the Austrian frontier. He had secretly concentrated almost all of his 3.000 bodyguard troops at Munich during the night, and he left Munich by motor car at noon for an unknown destination. He had flown there this morning

after appointing field marshal Hermann Goering, his right hand man, hla official representative—in anticipation of leaving German' soil. Proudly, in his proclamation. 1 Hitler announced that German' troops had crossed the Austrian ‘ frontier "everywhere" this morning. and added: "Behind the units of the armed | forces stands the will and determination of the entire German' nation.” The troops went to Austria at I the request of the new Nazi Aus-1 trian government. But they were there too, in event that any nation dared challenge Germany's course, or the course of the Austrian Nazis. This was a day of supreme l triumph for Hitler. He had left j Austria as a penniless youth after a struggle for very existence in | Vienna. At Munich today, he listened while Goebbels read his proclamation and his German people hailed him a national hero. Hitler denounced, in his proclamation, the government of Chan- '

cellor Kurt Schtischnigg. Then he announced: "Since this morning troops of the German armed forces are inarching everywhere across the German-Austrian frontier . . . summoned by a new national socialist government, they will guarantee that, the Austrian people will soon be given the opportunity to mould their future fate through a genuine plebiscite." He proclaimed; "I myself, as fuehrer-chancellor of the German people, shall be ! happy to enter (Austria) as a Geri man and free citizen of a country ! which is also my homeland.” As Goebbels was reading that momentous announcement, Hitler I was leaving Munich by automobile. He had concentrated there almost all of his crack black unii formed personal bodyguard of 3,000 men. Throughout the night they 1 had raced in motor trucks along the country roads from Beilin to I Munich. It was believed that this movement of bodyguard troops led to the false reports last night that German troops already had crossed i the Austrian frontier. o Herring Industry England apparently is growing more herring-conscious.
