Power for Life Lesson for December 7, 1958
THE CHRISTIAN religion is not and never was simply a set of ideas. Being a Christian is not being an ordinary person who believes some extra things that other people don’t. The Christian religion is not simply away of living, or a new

set of rules for behavior, mostly Pont’s. The Christian Is not a person with peculiar habits and nothing else to recommend him. The Christian religion does include ideas, radical and pro-
found. It does involve away, a pattern for living, but one which comes from the spirit and intent of love, divine love, rather than from a set of rules carefully memorized. Besides these, the Christian religion is power—not power “over” but power “for". The Christian religion is supernatural, and this most strikingly in the power Christ gives to enable men to live above their ordinary selves. Giving A Man Back The story of Jesus and the man calling himself “Legion”—a military word which might be translated “Regiment”—has some verif sepectacular features. Aside from these, which have seldom if ever been repeated, the story is typical of what the power of Christ can do for a man. First of all, Jesus gave the man back to himself. He had not belonged to himself while he was "Legion.” He belonged to any one of the countless devils that plagued him. He even know his own righgsSßHNK Haaould not “call his soul his own.” But after Jesus was done with him, he was a man in his right mind, under control, a single person with a single mind. Second, Jesus gave the man back to society. (That particular society, alas, did not want him; they would rather have kept their pigs. But that is another story.) He was now able to live with other people and to take his share of the world's work on his shoulders. If his home town would not have him, there were others that would. And in the third place, Jesus gave the man back to God. His instructions were to go and tell what the Lord had done for him. A Modern Demon We do not have demoniacs sitting in cemeteries nowadays, not in the ancient style. But as any minister, lawyer or social worker can tell you, there is a modern demon that gets control of millions of our fellow-citizens and takes away their citizenship, reducing them to helpless slavery. This is the demon of alcoholism. Our forefathers had an uglier word for it: the drink habit. It is the fourth most fatal disease in America; and alone among diseases (if we agree it is a disease) it is entirely preventable, it is one of the few diseases known to man which a man can definitely make up his mind not to have. (But of course he can do this only by being a non-drinker. No drinker can resolve not to become an alcoholic; the very next cocktail party may tip him over the edge.) But any one who knows alcoholics, actual or potential, knows how such people are "not themselves” as the kindly phrase puts it. They are no more masters of themselves than that poor maniac in Galilee driven mad by his own demons. Modern Miracles Yet the alcoholic is not beyond rescue. Every week some one of these pitiable people is pulled out of the quicksand and his feet set on a rock, by the power of Christ. Men and women find a super natural power that is great enough to accomplish what good resolutions and many preachments and pleadings have not accomplished. Such a man is given back to himself, back to society and back to God. Cured alcoholics are most likely to stay cured when they devote themselves to helping others as they themselves have been helped. The most effective helper of others is likely to be the one who can say himself, “I know what the Lord has done for me." And this is tree not only of alcoholics, but of those who are devil-ridden by other destroyers, pride, envy, hut and aS the rest. No evil, no combination of evils, that attack and destroy man, can be a match for the Son of God ... if only th* victim is willing to be rescued!
