TIME TO DO SOME WEEDING
584 Days In Two Wars
Tuesday, July 13, was the 584th
day of the present war of the United
States which began at Pearl Harbor.
In the first World War the 584th day
was Armistice Day, 1918.
There is a vast contrast between
our activity in the current struggle
and what we accomplished in the war
twnt.v-five vears aeo. 1 hen our
militarv effort was concentrated in
Prance; todav our fighting men are
scattered throughout the world.
In the first World War we suflei
ed 360,300 casualties but in the same
length of time in this war our cas
ualties have been only 90,860.
The nation's preparation for war
fare is far more extensive than in
the earlier combat, with 9,300,000
men now mobilized against 4,355,000
a quarter of a century ago. This
time we have spent four times as
much money as in the same period
of the. former war.
Of course, it is apparent that our
war cost in casualties is just begin
ning and that despite the splendid
equipment and superb armament of
our men, there will be a heavy price,
in blood, before we buy again our se
curity and guarantee our free exis
tence in a peaceful world.

LESSON
THE COST OF DRINKING
International Sunday School
for July 25, 1943.
Lesson
GOLDEN TEXT: "Know ye
not that the unrighteous shall
not inherit the Kingdom oi
God?" I Cor. 6:9.
(Lesson Text: Deut. 21:18-21;
Proverbs 23:20-21; I Cor. 6:9-11)
Our lesson for this week presents
the alcoholic question from the stand
point of its cost. When we speak
n( th. rost of anvthinc. our minds
naturally turn to thoughts of money
and we are prone to reckon cost in
terms of dollars and cents, over
looking the fact that often the finan-

We would urge all those who have
purchased war bonds to hold on to
them as long as possible. Obviously,
it will not help the nation if one
buys a bond one month and sells it
not
the
the next. Equally obvious is
fact that such transactions will

enjoying increased incomes that they
are sharing in the war boom, which

Money permanently invested in war
bonds will cushion the post-war
strains that will inevitably develop
and, even if your improved' fncome
becomes permanent, grve you a solid
investment that can be used, in peace
time, for many important purchases.
It is difficult for every citizen to
buy war bonds on the same scale or
to hold the securities after they are
purchased. Individuals must decide
for themselves, in the full knowledge
of their financial position and obli
gations, just how much they can in
vest and save. Barring unexpected
emergencies the purchase of a war
bond Rhould be a permanent Invest

Counterattacks
While military observers urge the
British and American people to re
strain their enthusiasm over Sicily
until the enemy has made a major
counter attack, the news comes that
the Russians are already
back ground on the Orel-Belgorod
front. In the total picture of the
war this battle may count more
heavily than Sicily.
For there is increasing evidence '
that the Nazis have1 suffered a crfti-j
stinence.
Proverbs 23-20 warns against as
sociation with intemperate drinkers
to 'or "gluttonbus eaters of flesh, for tile
drunkard or the . glutton shall botn
come to poverty." The drinking of
intoxicating liquors and gluttonous
habits of eating have, in every age,
led men to do things to satisfy these
cravings that they could not afford
or which they would not have done
had it not been for those habits of
over-indulgence.
Young men, craving pleasures they
could not afford, have, with assist
ance of the stimulus of a few drinks,
robbed and often killed to get pos
session of things beyond their means.
If we associate with the intemperate,
we may fall prey to the temptations
our selves and meet a similar faic.
Who pays for the liquor drunk?
The wife and children of the
drinker pay with the food that is
taken from their mouths, with the
clothes that are taken from their
bodies and with the roof that
taken from over their heads.
The grocers and the dry goods
merchants pay with the business
that is taken from their stores. The
cal defeat. Even their own boosting
about new weapons adds to the Im
pression that they had prepared
what they believed would be a real
break-through, giving them a chance
to cut-in behind Moscow. Hitler is
reported in command in Russia in
dicating his estimate of the battle s
importance. And even if some ex
aggeration enters into the huge tank
and plane losses reported for the
gaged on a scale not before seen
human warfare.
It may be that Hitler has under
rated the importance of Allied actfon
winning , jn the Mediterranean. It is estimat
ed that he has only two and a half
divisions in Sicily (the Italian
strength is placed at ten) while Ger
man division in Russia are placed as
high as two hundred.
Military observers are saying
that the Axis has already waited
overlong to counterattack in Sicily.
With British and American forces us
ing Island air fields, consolidating
their holds on the coast and having
time to pour in fresh troops and
equipment, the task of stopping tnem
certainly becomes hard if not hope
less from the Axis viewpoint. And

town pays with the cost of added
protection which must be thrown
around citizens to protect them rrom
the drunkards.
Everyone who drives or rides in an
automobile on the streets or high
ways is likely to pay with his life in
an accident for which a drunken
driver was responsible.
Indulging in alcoholic beverages
also costs one the loss of self
respect, the respect of family and
friends. People of all ages want to
be happy and certainly no individual
can be happy and contented without
having the respect of others. Pi
vorce records show that liquor fs re
sponsible for the failure of many
marriages.
Last, but not least, drinking costs
one his fellowship with God. im
writing to the church at Corinth,
Paul reminded the people that tne
unrighteous shall not inherit the
Kingdom of God. Then he mentioned
many practices that certainly are evil
or unrighteous, and among them, he
mentioned drinking. The habitual
drinker is seldom, if ever, an intei
ested Christian. He, or she, rarely
attends church services and takes no
active place in the work of the
church. A happy, useful Christian
must feel a sacred bond between him
and his God, and the ma,n, or woman,
who through the habit of drink is de
stroying the body that God gave him,
or her, cannot feel this sense of
fellowship with God.
Is it worth what it costs?

W. H. PITT,
The Norfolk Southern Bus Corporation, during
the past several months, has carried the greatest num
ber of bus passengers during its history.
During those months traveling was not exactly
a pleasure. Many times, perhaps, you had to stand up
during your trip, and found traveling rather difficult.
But we want to thank those who rode our buses and
were good sports in accepting conditions as they were.
There is no indication that bus travel will become
lighter and therefore, we must tell you that in nearly
all cases our buses will be filled to capacity on most days
throughout the week .... so if you are going to travel
you may discover you will have to. stand at least part
of the way.
We suggest that you observe the Of fice of De
fense Transportation's request, "don't travel unless it is
absolutely necessary."
When you do plan a trip, however, you can help
us by planning ahead Of time and making complete ar
ragementsfor your trip before you leave. Consult
our Bus Agent nearest your hometown for complete in
formation. Buy your ticket before boarding buses and
travel light. Carry only one piece of luggage .....
traveling light will mean more room for fellow
travelers.
