God and Life Lesson for May 25. 1952 IF THERE IS any one command ment which Jesus not only did not rbolish but made far clearer anc sharper, it is the commandment Thou shalt not kill. By word and act. the Mastei showed that life is sacred. It Is sacred because we are God's children; and whatever in jures life, what ever makes It less worth living, what ever tempts men to do way with their own lives, whatever shortens life and makes it wretched and unbearable, this violates the will of God. this is a form of killing Jesus' attitude to disease is a case in point We do not read of a single case where he came in con tact with a sick person and urged the patient Just to be patient. He always restored the sick to health; sickness in hit eyes, is a thing that ought not to be. ? ? ? Blunt Instruments MURDER MYSTERIES are at ways solved in the detective stories. In real life we are not al ways so fortunate. Many a murder mystery remains a mystery after long years. All the police could ever be sure of was that "some person or persons unknown" hit the victim with a "blunt instrument." Now you would think that a mur derer would pick out something more efficient. Why not a sharp in strument? However, the blunt in strument, whatever it was?a sash weight, a brick or whatever.?did the work. A man can be just ai dead from being hit with a sandbag as from being shot with a rifle. As Simeon Stylites pointed ont some time ago in the "Christian Century," there are all kinds of blunt instruments besides crowbars, sasb-wetgbts and bricks. Whatever tends to shorten life is a kind of blunt instrument; it may take a long time to have its effect but if It is deadly in the long run, then it is deadly, period. soi. rf h-':it that Ct'ts drwn cn:\ geed health; any carelessness cr neglect; any stupidity or foolish ness such as driving too fast on a wet night; giving way to worries and getting indigestion from them; these are not un-heard-of ways of shortening life. They art. in plain language, murderous. ? ? ? Alcohol the Killer WIS THIS IS the temperaans Iso son, this is a good place to recall the fact that alcoholic liquor is a ? too popular deadly weapon. You have heard of the so-called antibodies or phagocytes which are in a healthy blood-stream. There are the little fighting cells which gather around invading germs and kill them. Without these in our blood we could scarcely survive a single day, the air is so full of germs which we cannot help tak ing into our throats and lungs. Bnt alcebol taken Internally will paralyse these phagocytes to such an extent that they are as use. This is not to say that a single bottle or drink of liquor kills all a man's phagocytes at But still, as David Starr Jordan, president of Leland Stanford Uni versity. once said, if a man were telling the whole truth he would not say. Let us have a drink together. He would say. Come, let us para lyze our phagocytes together! Insurance companies which insure only ministers and religious work ers, that is to say. which insure mostly non-drinkers, can and do of fer insurance for much lower pre miums than companies that have to insure all sorts of people includ ing "moderate" drinkers. ? ? ? Hit by the Bottle A DRINKER is said to be hitting the bottle. Not at alL The bottle Is hitting him. Liquor killy. in more ways than by paralysing the health cells in the blood. Time is the stufi life is made of; and how much time liquor kills, how many "lost week ends" It Is causing this very week only God and the devil know. '?Uquer a 1m ereatea to a la effects ef ?.?
