GOLDEN TEXT-Kno* ye not that th* unr.ghtrau* ahall not Inherit the kingdom ul God?—l Corinthian* € 8. Billion* of dollars—how many we cannot say—make up the annual coat of liquor to America in dollars and cent*. Terrifying as it is, that stupendous waste is but a drop in the bucket compared with the moral and spiritual degradation, the sorrow and suffering, the poverty and distress, which must be added into our liquor bill. For it is not only a matter of dollars, but of blood and tears, or destroyed usefulness, lost virtue, wrecked homes, and so on and on and on. We go right on paying the bill, allowing ourselves to be misled by clever propaganda, and skillfully manipulated statistics—or it may be our sheer indifference. When will America awaken! Our lesson faces us with the tost of this despicable traffic in the life of the individual to the social order, and In the light of eternity. I. The Personal Cost (Debt. 21: 18-21). Liquor destroy* individuals relentlessly, rapidly, and effectively. Have we forgotten that fact? "Die passage in Deuteronomy presents a drastic remedy for a dreadful situation. Drink and gluttony were recognized as the deadly instrument which would bring a boy to the place where he was incorrigible. Stubborn, rebellious, and disobedient, his parents were to bring him to the elders for a final judgment. If one thinks the penalty too harsh, he must remember that it was established in the early days of Israel when It was necessary for God to use such drastic remedies to stamp out incipient evil. It must be remembered that in ancient Greece weak children were left out to die. and in Rome a father could at will put to death even a grown up son. The point of this scripture for us Is that a life of debauchery (and it can start with just a glass of wine) leads to the ultimate destruction of life. It is far too high a cost to pay for a sinful indulgence. 11. The Social Cost (Pro*. 23: 20. 21). Drunkenness and gluttony lead to poverty and rags. The intemperate man cannot keep up with the high Cost of supplying his growing appetite. Even as he tries to satisfy its insatiable demand, it also renders him unfit to earn a living. So the vicious circle works its way around, and stops not until the drunkard totters off in his rags, unless perchance some loved one or friend tike* care of him. Do we not all recall how families in our own communities have been ruined and become charges upon the county or charitable organizations because of the destruction wrought by a father who was a winebibber. Not only does ft bring poverty upon families, but It reduces able and gifted men to shambling wrecks and thus deprives society of the benefit of their lives and service. A present-day illustration Is the unsolved problem of absenteeism for Mays after pay day In our essential industries. Again we say the con is altogether too high, let us get rm of this monster before it destroys us! IL The Eternal Coal (1 Cor. fl: KU). Money lost is serious. Life lost is far more serious. But the saddest cost of all is the eternal damnation of the drinker's soul. We quote from Dr. Horace Martin these stirring * words: “It is my calm judgment that any man who names the name of Christ should take an attitude of horror and disgust at the liquor traffic and the use of liquor as a beverage. There are at least three places in the New Testament where the Bible says that no drunkard shall inherit th* kingdom of God. “If any man takes that statement seriously he must think twice before he refers to the uae of liquor to a j-Aing manner, or in any way condones the use of alcohol as a bev•rage'' (Lesson Commentaay) Drunkenness to a foul and einfel thing, classed by the apoMie Paid with the toweet of human vices Review the list as It ia given to verse* • and !• <and by the way notice the effier etoe mentioned there), and place drunkenness to it* proper Can it what it really to— mb. and then eaU on the One who can save from sta.

Creamed Comments On The Sunday School Lesson

Creamed comments on the Sunday School lesson, "God encourages Mooes." —Exodus 3:13-16; 4:10-17 for Sunday. July 18. Mooes because of his discipline in the Midlan desert became so < hastened that he doubted his ability to be God's leader and hence needed God's encouragement. v 13. "And Moses said unto God, behold when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them. th. God of our father* hath sent me unto you; and they shall say unto me, what is his name? what shall I say unto them?" Here is seen Moses' excuse because of the lack of power, for he realized the significance of authority, v. 14. "And God said unto Moses, I Am That I Am; and he said, thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I Am hath sent me unto you.” Here are two great teachings: one is seen In the strength of the name of the Ixird which must be hallowed and in which alone we must toll; the otheV I* seen 111 the strength of authority, "Th.- Lord hath sent me unto you." To be sent by the Supreme is to have the highest mission and commission possible to man, v. 15. "And God said moreover unto Moses, thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, Jehovah, the God of our fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, the God of Jacob, bath sent me unto you; fills is my name forever, and this my memorial unto all generations." Encouragement to given in tbe strength of God's word, "thus shall thou say." There Is word like the word ford of God. Then encouragement is given In the strength of God's providence, the Lord of your fathers. He would not forsake Israel in Egypt; neither will he forsake us. v. 16. "God, and gather tbe elders of Israel together, and say unto theta, Jehovah the (lod of your faThehTuth appeared unto me saying, I have surely visited you. and seen that which is done unto you in Egypt.” Here there to encouragement Iti pity. "I have seen that which ia done unto you," Tbe Lord pities them that fear him. He Is leeched with our infirmifTes. v. 14. "And Moses said unto Jehovah. O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since hath thou spoken to thy ervant; for I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue." Moses knew his weakness which he used as an excuse, not realizing that God uses weak vessels often In a mighty way. One of the great mistakes today is in shallow excuses on tbe ground of weakness, when duty calls. *s. 11, 12. "And Jehovah said unto him, who hath made man's mouth? or who maketh a man dumb, or deaf or seeing, or blind? Is It not I. Jehovah? Now therefore go. and 1 will be thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt sap." The Implication to that God will help Moses to speak sufficiently well if he wtptld be obedient; beside* this, be would tell Mose* what to speak. v. 13. "And he said. O, my Lord. I pray thee, by the hand of him whom thou wilt send." Two Interpretations are given to these words; one a polite way of declin CHURCH PAGE SPONSORS th* Fl mt stat* bank General Banking HOLTHOUSE DRUG CO. Highest Quality - Lowest Prices OR. H.

' ing the commission, and the other, • an ungracious and grudging acquiescence of the divine will. This was done in the face of God's prom- ' ises of help and strength. The 1 world Is full of moral cowards. v. 14. "And the anger of the Lord ' was kindled against Moses, and be raid, is there not Aaron thy broth- ’| er the Levite? I know that he can *pea well. And. behold, he cometh 1 forth to meet thee; and when h--1 seeth thee, he will be glad In his • hearth." While God is usually depicted as a God of love, mark that there are times when he I* a God of wrath in that divine judgment 1 is meted to men. God's mercy was shown in providing away out; that to the way hto mercy acts to- . day. v. 75. "And thou *halt speak to i him. and put thy word* in hto l mouth; and 1 will be with thy i mouth, and with hto mouth, and I teach you what I shall do.” Tbe i divine aid is reiterated and extended to two people, oMsos and Aaron, - Instead of only to one, Moses. God - will not be defeated in the end. i Just how thia verse was to be apI piled I* explained In verse 16. v. 17. "And thou shall take in thy hand thto rod. wherewith thou F shalt do sign*.” When necessary . that rod was to heturned into a > serpent to prove his Identity a servant of God clothed with atith- ' orlty. o— ■ - B lllr>gT<r4 "Facing the Aftermath of War," ■ will he the theme of the next Ohio ■ pastors' convention which will convene in Memorial Hall, Columbus, ■ January 31. 1944.
